The sky was gloomy, as if it was going to rain again, afraid that the clothes hanging in the backyard would be wet by the rain, Yu Miaoge hurriedly came out of the room to collect the clothes, but Yu Miaoge had just gone out with the front foot, and the sister's room opposite the back foot was also pushed open with a squeak.

The once close sisters suddenly became a lot more separated, although Yu Miaoge took the initiative to smile at her sister and say hello, Yu Ji subconsciously took a step back, wanting to retreat into the room to avoid her sister, and after forcibly holding back, Yu Ji reluctantly squeezed out a little smile to her sister, and said in a stiff tone: "It's going to rain, I'll collect my clothes." ”

"I'll collect it for you." Yu Miaoge said softly.

"No, I'll take it myself." Yu Ji replied expressionlessly.

Knowing his sister's thoughts, Yu Miaoge was not reluctant, and quickly collected the clothes he dried, and he had already returned to his room, while Yu Ji was unable to collect them all at one time because of the more clothes to dry, and he could only come back to collect them a second time.

"Bangbang, Bangbang." The sudden knocking sound from the courtyard attracted Yu Ji's attention, and when she turned her head to look, Yu Ji found that it was Zhang Fang, the son of the local husband, who was lying on the wall of his house and beating, still killing chickens and wiping his neck, and kept beckoning himself to come over.

Yu Ji knew what Zhang Fang was here for, since the last time he accidentally met in the township market, Zhang Fang, the son of Dongxiang Township Husband, came to Shiling Pavilion every once in a while, and always liked to hang around the old mansion of the Feng family rented by the Yu family, once when Yu Yao went out, Zhang Fang also mustered up the courage to stop Yu Yao, and took out a pair of earrings that were not cheap with a red face and asked Yu Yao to accept them, but Yu Yao confiscated them, because Yu Yao had no feelings for this Zhang Fang, and he could never forget a person.

"Little sister, little sister, come over for a moment." Zhang Fang was still a little bold, blushing and beckoning, while whispering, "I have a few words to say to you." ”

Unwilling to let Zhang Fang alarm the people in the family, Yu Ji could only walk under the courtyard wall with her clothes in her arms, and said with a straight face: "It's going to rain soon, why don't you go back quickly?" ”

"I've got something." Zhang Fang took out a blue-red papaya, and said flatteringly: "My tree grows, I picked the best one, please taste it, little sister." ”

As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, men and women gave papaya to each other on behalf of courtship, this folk Yu Ji of course knew that Yu Ji had more than once fantasized that his dream lover could send a beautiful and lovely papaya to himself in a romantic environment. But it's a pity that although the papaya sent by Zhang Fang is red and blue with a ripe luster, it is a good papaya that is difficult to see in the market, but Zhang Fang himself is not the object of Yu Ji's longing, so Yu Ji shook his head decisively and said: "No need, thank you, I don't like to eat papaya." Find a place to shelter from the rain, it's going to rain. ”

After that, Yu Ji turned around and left with her clothes, but Zhang Fang behind refused to give up, and hurriedly said: "Little sister, wait, there is another matter, which is related to your brother-in-law." Your future brother-in-law, Xiang Kang, Xiang Gongzi, he's crazy! ”

Yu Jiao's heart twitched, and she subconsciously stopped, turned her head and asked suspiciously, "What did you say?" Xiang Kang Xiang Gongzi is crazy? Why is he crazy? ”

"He found my Ah Weng yesterday, took the slip from the county in the county, and asked my Ah Weng to exchange his household registration with the household registration of his nephew." Zhang Fang lowered his voice and said, "He wants to take care of his clan nephew and go to the frontier to serve as a soldier!" ”

The clothes that had not yet dried slipped from Yu Ji's arms and suddenly spilled all over the ground, but Yu Ji didn't seem to realize it, she just opened her mouth wide, and only blurted out after a while: "Really?" Who do you listen to? ”

"I didn't listen to anyone, I saw it with my own eyes." Zhang Fang said nervously: "Xiang He has typhoid fever and is very sick, your brother-in-law is worried that he will make any mistakes on the road, so he asked the county respecter to agree, let him and Xiang It change household registration, and he will replace Xiang It to serve in the garrison." Little sister, tell your sister to persuade him, this matter is not a joke, he went to the frontier, no one dares to guarantee whether he can come back alive. ”

Yu Ji was completely stunned, and she didn't even notice that the raindrops began to fall, but fortunately, Zhang Fang, who had a crush on Yu Ji, was still considerate, and hurriedly reminded: "Little sister, it's raining, you go back to hide from the rain, see you next time." ”

After finishing speaking, Zhang Fang's head quickly disappeared from above the courtyard wall, but Yu Ji continued to stand on the spot, or when the rain turned heavy, Yu Yao came back to her senses, quickly put away the clothes scattered on the ground and hurried back to the room, her heart was completely messed up, and she kept saying in her heart: "Why did he do this? Why? Doesn't he know how dangerous it is to go to the frontier to serve in the military, and why is he still so stupid? ”

The rain became heavier and heavier, and Yu Ji's heart became more and more chaotic, but Yu Ji never planned to go to the room next to her, and told her sister about the situation, just hoping that the rain would stop as soon as possible, so that she could go to Xiang Kang in person and ask why Xiang Kang was so crazy? Also, ask Xiang Kang how to deal with his and his sister's upcoming family affairs after he leaves?

The rain finally gradually turned light, and before the raindrops could be completely stopped, Yu Ji had already quietly gone out, secretly opened the back door and slipped out, and kept going straight to the blacksmith shop that he had opened in partnership with Xiang Kang and Feng Zhong. The result is not bad, Xiang Kang, who is now getting busier and busier, is rarely directing apprentices to build weapons in the blacksmith shop, and Yu Ji didn't have time to take into account the surprised eyes of others, so he walked straight to Xiang Kang, who was also dumbfounded, and said, "In another place, I want to say a few words to you alone." ”

Looking at the surprised expressions of the apprentices in the blacksmith shop next to him, Xiang Kang was also afraid that his adultery with his sister-in-law would be exposed, so he nodded hurriedly, led Yu Yu out of the door of the blacksmith shop, and walked into the distance to prepare to speak. But unfortunately, it rained again in the gloomy sky, and there was no way to stay in the wild, Xiang Kang had no choice but to ask Yu Ji: "Little sister, it's raining again, can you go to my house and talk?" ”

Yu Ji didn't answer, just nodded, Xiang Kang hurriedly stepped forward to lead the way, led Yu Yao to his small courtyard, invited Yu Yao to the room to sit down, and then asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"I heard that you volunteered to serve on the frontier in place of Xiang? Really? Yu asked with a straight face.

"How do you know?" Xiang Kang was taken aback.

"You don't care how I know, I just ask you, is there such a thing?" Yu Ji asked angrily.

Xiang Kang hesitated, but he knew that he couldn't fool this little girl, so he could only nod, and Yu Ji suddenly filled his chest with anger, and roared and asked, "Are you crazy?" What if you go to the frontier and can't come back? Do you know how dangerous it is to go to the frontier to be a soldier? How many of the people who have been serving as soldiers over the years can come back out of ten? ”

The little girl's tigress nature suddenly broke out, but Xiang Kang didn't feel disgusted, on the contrary, he was very happy that this little girl cared about herself. However, Xiang Kang couldn't explain the truth to the little girl, so he could only explain: "Of course I know how dangerous it is to go to the frontier to be a pawn, but there is no way, Xiang is too sick, and if my Uncle Ji doesn't go to be a pawn for him, he will definitely not come back." ”

"You only think about others, why don't you think about my sister?" Yu Ji was furious and said: "Today is the first day of the seventh month, and in twenty-five days, you will marry my sister, what will she do if you leave?" ”

"I can only ask her to wait for me to come back." Xiang Kang, a typical scumbag, showed his true colors, sighed, and said: "If she is not willing to wait, she can also withdraw from the marriage and find another man to marry." I'm sorry for her for this, and I don't have the face to blame her. ”

"My sister is not that kind of person!" Yu Jiao's eyes were completely red, and she said angrily: "She will definitely wait for you to come back, even if you can't come back, she won't marry anyone else!" If you do this, you will harm her for the rest of her life! ”

Of course, Xiang Kang knew that Yu Miaoge might really be such a dedicated woman, but Xiang Kang didn't really plan to go to the frontier to be a cow and a horse for Qin II, so Xiang Kang naturally didn't need to consider Yu Miaoge's reaction, and took the opportunity to fight the idea of his sister-in-law extremely shamelessly, lowered his head and said: "Then I have to trouble you to persuade her more for me, so that she doesn't be so stupid." Also, little sister, if I can't come back, will you be sad? ”

"Only my sister will be sad, what should I break for you?!" Yu Ji asked angrily, and completely forgot that he had been crying silently alone behind his back more than once these days, and that he had the reaction like being struck by lightning when he knew that Xiang Kang was going to the frontier as a soldier.

Knowing that the little girl was angry, Xiang Kang deliberately stopped talking, and left time for the little girl to calm down in silence, but fortunately, the rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and Xiang Kang didn't need to worry about the sudden arrival of outsiders and destroying this rare opportunity for himself and Yu Jiao's little girl to be alone.

The room became silent because of this, so silent that even the little girl's rapid gasping could be heard clearly, and finally, after the little girl's breathing completely returned to normal, Xiang Kang, who was good at grasping other people's emotions, opened his mouth, and deliberately said in a low voice: "As long as you are not sad, don't worry, your sister's side, I will give her an explanation." After I leave, you have to take care of yourself, don't be so stupid and don't eat and don't move, it's not good for you, forget me. ”

Hearing this, Yu Jiao, whose anger had temporarily subsided, had a sour nose, tears suddenly gushed out of her eyes uncontrollably, and she couldn't help but hang her head and sob, Xiang Kang took the opportunity to get up and stepped forward, sat down next to her sister-in-law, took out the handkerchief that his fiancée had secretly given him before to wipe her sister-in-law's tears, and comforted her softly: "Don't cry, don't worry, I will definitely come back, I know you feel uncomfortable, so don't worry, not for others, just for you, I will definitely come back, and I won't make you sad." ”

While saying gently, Xiang Kang didn't take the dirty claws of the handkerchief, but also quietly hugged the soft and slender waist of Yu Jiao's little girl, planning to take the opportunity to eat some tofu to take advantage of it, who knew that after the little girl was hugged by Xiang Kang, not only did she not resist and struggle, but also fit into Xiang Kang's arms, and in turn hugged Xiang Kang and cried loudly, crying and saying: "I don't allow you to go!" I won't let you go! I don't want you to go! ”

Encountering such a good thing, Xiang Kang no longer knows how to seize the opportunity, of course, it is too much to live up to the broad masses of the people, patting the soft black hair of the little girl and comforting her for a long time, Xiang Kang took the opportunity to pick up the cute little face of the little girl, and cheekily kissed the ruddy cherry lips of the future sister-in-law.

There was no resistance, in this era, men and women did not kiss, only Confucianism was shouting, and most ordinary men and women still preferred the good customs left over from the Shang and Zhou dynasties - men and women looked at each other and drilled into the grove if they didn't say a good word. So although the little girl Yu was shy, she only struggled symbolically a few times, and let Xiang Kang gnaw wildly on her sweet cherry lips, or when Xiang Kang was more shameless and stretched his claws into his sister-in-law's underwear, the little girl hurriedly pressed Xiang Kang's claws, and whispered with a red face: "No, you and my sister are about to get married, we can't do that." ”

"Just once." Xiang Kang pleaded shamelessly: "Maybe we just have this chance, just this time, okay?" ”

The shameless plea in exchange for the harvest that made Xiang Kang overjoyed, the little sister-in-law who had always been loved by himself slowly let go of her hand, the sister-in-law's clothes were also clumsily and quickly untied, the air was flooded with a slight fragrance, the rain outside was heavier, and the room became more and more dim, a slightly black body pressed against a dazzling white body and squirmed, violent wheezing and delicate moans filled the dim room......

After a long time, Yu Jiao, who was lying on Xiang Kang's red ** chest, said leisurely: "Don't go, okay?" As long as you promise me, even if you and my sister become married, as long as you have the opportunity, I can still give you this. ”

"Don't worry." Gently stroking half of the sister-in-law's brother-in-law since ancient times, Xiang Kang said in a low voice: "I won't leave, but don't ask more, and don't tell anyone, including your sister, in short, you just wait, I won't leave, I can't bear you." ”

"But you've already swapped household registration with Xiang It, how can you not leave?" Yu Ji asked suspiciously.

"I said don't ask more, you'll know later." Xiang Kang refused to answer and couldn't answer, so he quickly changed the topic and said, "Come, take advantage of the fact that there is still some time, let your brother-in-law teach you how to serve your brother-in-law in the future." ”

"No, the rain has stopped outside, what should I do if someone suddenly comes? Also, at this time, you still call me sister-in-law, do you want to be ashamed? ”

Because the wind and rain outside the door had indeed been contained, Xiang Kang, who was worried that the children of the Xiang family would suddenly come to find him, finally ended the affair obediently, put on clothes for the sister-in-law himself, and repeatedly told the sister-in-law not to let his fiancée know that he was going to be a pawn, and then sent the sister-in-law who had eaten the brother-in-law's head soup out of the door. As a result, Xiang Kang should have been lucky, the little girl who was walking a little awkward had just disappeared into the distance of the road, and the children of the Xiang family appeared in another direction, allowing Xiang Kang to avoid an adulterous exposure and escape a catastrophe - otherwise, just by seeing the awkward steps of the little girl Yu and the spring color on her face, the children of the Xiang family, who had already been suspicious before, would immediately understand what had just happened.

By the way, a certain brother-in-law's stinky shamelessness is more than that, in fact, the handkerchief used to wipe a little blood on the sister-in-law's body, and it was carefully collected by a certain brother-in-law's arms, which was given to a brother-in-law by the sister-in-law's sister.

…………

Two days later, on the night of the third day of the seventh month, it was raining again, Xiang Kang prepared some wine and meat, summoned all the apprentices and militia members who could be present in the blacksmith shop, and officially announced that he was going to replace Xiang He to serve in the frontier the next day, and announced the disbandment of the Dongxiang militia, and decided to hand over the operation of the blacksmith shop to his brother Xiang Zhuang to be responsible, and asked all the apprentices and militia members to drink a meal of loose wine with him.

Because of Xiang Kang's usual deliberate bribery, after learning the news that Xiang Kang volunteered to go to the frontier as a pawn for Xiang Kang, none of the apprentices and militia members in the blacksmith shop were shocked by everyone, and none of them were not sad in their hearts, and some of them cried directly than the fierce militia. And when Xiang Kang said goodbye to everyone one by one with the wine, more people cried and asked Xiang Kang one after another: "Xiang Gongzi, don't you go?" This blacksmith shop can't do without you, Shiling Pavilion and Dongxiang can't do without you? ”

"What if I don't go? Should you be on the run? Xiang Kang asked with tears in his eyes, and said: "Things have come to this point, I just hope that we can still have fate to get together again and have a good bowl together." ”

The cries came and went, and the apprentices and militiamen who were reluctant to leave Xiang Kang either came from the bottom of their hearts or followed the situation, all of them were tearful and crying, and those apprentices and militiamen who were recruited to serve in the military were even more crying. And when Xiang Kang intentionally or unintentionally mentioned that the Great Qin Imperial Court was likely to recruit the fifth round of soldiers soon, and laughed at himself that there might be a chance to reunite in the frontier, the already bitter loose wine directly turned into a broken intestine wine, and the apprentices and militiamen hugged their heads and cried, lamenting their unfortunate fate, and hated Qin II to the core, I don't understand what this emperor thinks, why do he want to toss the people to death?

When the wine was almost drunk, Xiang Kang saw the opportunity, stood in front of a bonfire facing everyone, and said loudly: "Brothers, can I ask you for one thing?" When I leave tomorrow, whether you want to go with me as a soldier or not, you will send me to the pavilion, how about it? ”

"Definitely, Childe, we will definitely send it to you."

"Don't worry, Childe, you are so good to us, and you look up to us mud legs so much, even if you don't need to say it, we will definitely send you."

"Childe, I'm going to send you to Santai Pavilion, otherwise I'll be sorry for you."

The apprentices and militiamen replied one after another, Xiang Kang thanked him, and said, "Okay, let's stop here today, let's disperse, everyone go to bed early, and we will see you at the pavilion for the last time tomorrow." ”

Agreeing in a scattered manner, all the apprentices and militiamen rubbed their red eyes from crying, and got up one after another to say goodbye and leave, but at this moment, the red light protruded, and the apprentices of the blacksmith shop once again saw with their own eyes that Xiang Kang's body suddenly radiated a dazzling red light, and the militiamen who had only heard the rumors before exclaimed loudly, "Childe, you have a light on you again!" It's red again! ”
