The traces of the heavy rain have not completely dissipated, the road into the mountain is very slippery, and a layer of moss has grown in some places.

The road in the south is no better than in the north, and it always inadvertently gives you a dismount. Wang Ning fell a few times, and the pain from his body was also deeply imprinted in his bones.

The path was narrow, with dense woods on both sides, and after walking for a while, his body was already stained with a lot of dew. The forest was hot and humid, accompanied by a choking smell of rot, which made him walk very slowly, and if Ji Ling'er saw him, he would probably laugh at him.

Wang Ning didn't want to compare the life in front of him with the north, but some of his emotions appeared inexplicably, he was angry at the wind and sand in the north, he looked at the Wen Running people in the south, and now he is really in the south, it seems that the truth is too different from what he thinks, so that he can't help but complain a little about his past self.

However, as human beings, especially the poor people at the bottom, there may not be a place where there is no place where they cannot live.

In the barren land of Luliang, there are also people who survive.

If you have to find a fault, it is probably that the part of Lu Liang who does not live like a person.

Then again, this may be the difference between survival and life.

The situation is like this, and the current situation of the imperial court, many things are powerless, and those who have been abandoned can only accept their fate.

Among them, Wang Ning, who has actually experienced the two extremes of diametrically opposed lives, can't say anything. He certainly wouldn't have any sympathy for those guys.

To live, there is always a price.

Maybe there has been too much blood shed, too much life and death have been seen; I have seen love as deep as the sea, and I have seen betrayal day and night; has seen the ugliest and dirtiest, most primitive but most real human nature in the world, and he is more cordial to Lu Liang.

Or just because there used to be a concern.

Or maybe it's because it's barbaric, dirty, and unpretentious.

Inadvertently reminded him of something more distant than that, but he couldn't bear to think about it anymore.

He was not a sentimental man, and although he had an enviable background in his childhood, he was now a martial artist and was accustomed to the huge gap in status. He has read a lot of books, but unfortunately he hasn't put much effort into it, so he can't learn the sorrows and sorrows of those literati and writers, and worry about the country and the people.

The clouds roll, the clouds shu, the clouds move, the clouds are hidden, and the mountains are still the mountains.

Wang Ningshen has one foot shallow and one foot, and occasionally stops to distinguish the direction, the mountain reveals a different scenery, he exclaimed, but he couldn't say too much decoration.

Ji Linger told him the approximate location, but he was not a person from this side, so he didn't know where Niutou Mountain and Yangtuo Ridge were.

He really took it for granted.

When Ji Ling'er arrived at the entrance of the village, she looked back at her home in the depths of the bamboo forest and breathed a sigh of relief.

The Ji family has lived in Daxu Village for 100 years, and now it has been passed down to five generations and has developed into a large village.

The ancestors of the Ji family were originally talented people who went south to avoid disasters, so although they were engaged in farming, they paid great attention to education for their younger generations. The efforts of three generations have now achieved great results, and the most outstanding Ji Kang is now called the county master.

Before that, probably no one could have imagined.

On the day Ji Kang returned to the village, several clan elders who had always been high in the village greeted him a long way.

Ji Ling'er stood under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, looking at the half-repaired stone statue, with a wry smile.

Ji Ling'er watched it for a while, and the people who did the work also saw her, smiling kindly, and couldn't help but mention her and Sun Heng's affairs.

She was idle, but she listened happily. So he squatted down next to him, holding his chin, and looked up at "Ji Kang" who was glorious and glorious.

"Ling'er, the fourth uncle has heard about it...... Why did you run away from people, how many people want to marry Xiucai have no chance. The man who spoke stopped what he was doing and tilted his head to look at her, with a look of pity and distress.

Ji Ling'er replied and smiled noncommittally: "Fourth uncle, the seventh grandfather is all county masters, and the village is not bad for talents." ”

"Look at what you say......" the top stonemason in the village smiled innocently, and continued to beat, but the words in his mouth did not stop, "You girl, you can't tell the difference between good and bad." ”

Ji Ling'er grinned: "Fourth uncle, it's not that Ling'er can't get married, it's up to you to worry about it, if Sister Cui knows, maybe she will scold you for being biased." ”

The fourth uncle had a smile on his face: "Fourth uncle is not worried that you won't be able to get married...... The fourth uncle is thinking, people who have read books know how to hurt people, unlike a rough man like the fourth uncle, you will not be guilty of marrying in the past. Besides, your dad will be happy to find out. ”

Ji Ling'er was full of bitterness and begged: "Fourth uncle, don't mention my father to me." ”

"What's wrong?" The fourth uncle looked at it curiously.

Ji Linger pointed to the sky and said aggrievedly: "My father may not have a good time up there, and he has come back to me recently." ”

The fourth uncle was stunned for a moment, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he laughed: "What kind of joke are you talking about." ”

Ji Ling'er knew that the fourth uncle didn't believe it, so she didn't talk about it anymore, looked at it for a while, and said worriedly: "Seventh Grandpa knows it, and he will definitely scold people." ”

The fourth uncle was a little sad: "My skills are not bad." ”

"How can Grandpa Seventh be so kind." Ji Ling'er's voice seemed to tremble as she spoke, "Fourth uncle, you don't know, he scolded me for a long time the day he came back." ”

"Uncle Seven, that's hurting you."

"Hee......" Ji Ling'er stuck out her tongue, her eyes rolled around, and she followed the conversation, "Fourth uncle, that Sun Heng is a good friend of Seventh Grandpa, and the book says that people gather by like, and things by groups...... Seventh Grandpa is so fierce, that Sun Heng is definitely not a good person...... I don't want to marry ......."

The fourth uncle looked at Ji Ling'er, obviously not believing this lame reason, shook his head, and scolded with a smile: "What does the book say that the fourth uncle doesn't recognize." ”

Saying this, a woman at the entrance of the village who was similar in age to Ji Ling'er walked over to this side. The woman could still see a little childishness, but she was dressed as a young woman, and if she looked closely, she could notice a slight difference.

Ji Ling'er saw the person coming clearly, a flower smiled on her face, and she jumped towards the person, shouting affectionately in her mouth: "Sister Cui."

The woman also looked at Ji Ling'er affectionately, her eyes full of love.

"Ling'er, they're all big girls, and they haven't been in shape yet, and when the elders of the clan see it, they'll count you down again."

Ji Ling'er snorted twice: "Just say it, anyway, Ling'er didn't have a father to teach her." ”

The woman was stunned for a moment, her eyes softened a little, and her finger poked Ji Linger's head: "Are you ......?"

Ji Linger rubbed her forehead and pretended to be tearful: "It hurts!" ”

The woman who called Sister Cui glanced at Ji Ling'er fiercely, and said angrily: "You still want to lie to me, you lied to me so much sugar ...... when I was a child."

Ji Ling'er jumped away and said, "If there is, Sister Cui will give it to me...... I just ate it. ”

Ji Cuier shook her head, Fourth Uncle Ji rested, and looked at the scene in front of him with interest, Fang Cai's daughter's smile was much sweeter than sugar in his eyes.

Fourth Uncle Ji sighed leisurely, and blamed himself a little, if it weren't for his own insistence at the beginning, his daughter would not have been like this.

Fourth Uncle Ji didn't hide his emotions, and everything was written on his face.

When Ji Cuier saw it, she hurriedly walked over and said with concern: "Dad, I'm fine, you don't have to worry." Yan Ba glanced at Ji Ling'er beside him, pursed his lips and smiled, "Ling'er prescribed medicine for me...... Everything will be fine. ”

Fourth Uncle Ji tried his best to clean up his mood, but in the end he made a crying and laughing expression: "I'm sorry for you." ”

"No......" Ji Cuier looked away slightly, "It's good to be like this now, I can be by your side and my mother." ”

The father and daughter comforted each other for a while, and Ji Cuier put down the kettle, poured a bowl of hot tea and handed it to her father. Fourth Uncle Ji knew that he was very boring here, so he let the two girls play by themselves.

Ji Ling'er dragged Ji Cuier out for a while, only then did she slow down, turned around, looked at her young sister who was already a wife, and was full of emotion, but she didn't show it because she was afraid of Ji Cuier.

Ji Cuier hurried to catch up, and when she saw that there was no one, she put down her body and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ling'er, just say what you have, it's not like you to hold it like this."

"Hee...... Sister Cui'er ......"

"Hmmm......"

"Married...... Are they all as hard as you are? ”

Ji Cuier stared at Ji Ling'er quietly and laughed: "Ling'er wants to marry?" ”

"Nothing." Ji Ling'er turned her head away, "I won't get married." ”

Ji Cuier sighed leisurely: "Women, sooner or later, you have to get married." ”

"Oh......"

Ji Ling'er was probably still teasing her father when she was a child, and she didn't think so at the time, but now she is really worried about it occasionally.

She is also afraid that she really can't get married, and she feels so ashamed.

However, when she saw Ji Cuier's incident, she was full of fear, based on her father's excessive doting on her, she was not raised in captivity like the daughter of an ordinary family, she was free-range.

She will worry about what will happen if she gets beaten if she marries!

She is also worried about meeting a husband who is the same as Sister Cui'er......

Ji Ling'er secretly glanced at Ji Cui'er, and her heart was full of distress.

Remembering that when she first saw Sister Cui'er, her heart was about to explode, if she hadn't been busy treating Sister Cui'er, she would definitely beat that bastard out of the village.

However, after such a long time, Sister Cui'er finally figured it out, and everything would be fine.

"Ling'er, you have to believe that some things are fate...... Can't escape, can't break free...... Then resign yourself to your fate. Ji Cuier said earnestly.

Ji Ling'er was in a trance for a while, and responded softly: "Sister Cui'er, you will meet good people." ”

Ji Cuier smiled and didn't take Ji Linger's words to heart.

Her life is already like that.

Xu suddenly thought that Ji Cui'er grabbed Ji Linger, stared at Ji Linger without blinking, and asked word by word: "The person in your family...... Who the hell is it? ”
