CHAPTER XXXV
As soon as Anxi and his party were about to enter the village, they heard the shouting and noisy voices of the crowd in front of them.
An Xi and Mo are not people who like to join in the fun, not to mention that in the village, once the crowd shouts, it should be the right and wrong of which family.
I'm afraid that this kind of excitement will cause trouble in vain, and it is better to ignore the things in front of the door and focus on your own life.
It's just that Xiao Anjiao is different, she is still a child, children love to be lively, and they are always easy to be distracted.
"Sister, it's so lively ahead."
Xiao Anjiao leaned forward, her rounded little fingers pointing in the direction ahead.
Curiously, he stretched his neck, his big round eyes like black grapes, and tried to see more clearly.
An Xi smiled warmly at her, rubbed her shaggy hair, and said softly.
"Obediently, put your hands down, tomorrow my sister will go up the mountain to catch a rabbit for you to play, okay?"
"Sister, really?"
Xiao Anjiao was distracted, and her eyes were full of attention on Anxi catching a rabbit for her tomorrow.
An Xi smiled, bent her good-looking eyes, and looked at the head of the ball that was accidentally rubbed by her, feeling a little weak.
"Of course it's true, so you have to be obedient."
In the previous world, it was simply an era of pets, and even An Xi couldn't resist the temptation to fall into it.
Some British short cats, Ragdoll cats, folded ear cats, and dogs.
In the last life, Anxi raised a cat with folded ears, but unfortunately the cat in the back fell ill and died.
Thinking of this, An Xi wondered if there were such delicate and cute cats in this world, and if so, hold one by her side.
What's more, my sister is so small, and there are no good toys in this era, grabbing a bunny to play with her should make her very happy, right?
The road in the village was not smooth, and the ox cart was a little shaky, so Anxi hugged Xiao Anjiao and sat down.
Just as he was about to continue walking, a woman carrying a basket with some wild vegetables approached and accosted her.
"Her sister-in-law, I heard that your brother Yi'er was sent to town with some serious injuries on his buttocks, I don't know how he is now?"
An Xi raised his head, although the person who spoke was dressed plainly, he was also cleaned up, and the smile on his face was kind, but the weakness and embarrassment between his eyebrows could not be concealed.
An Xi looked at the woman seriously, and there was still no familiar impression in her mind.
An Xi looked at Mo Shi and was a little suspicious, Mo Shi tightened the cow rope and let the cow stop.
Mohs smiled detachedly, and his tone was polite.
"Fortunately, Yi'er has healed, and you don't have to feel guilty and blame yourself for the injury on his buttocks, after all, your family didn't mean it, the clan has its own rules, Yi'er made a mistake first, and he should be punished."
An Xi knew in his heart, it seemed that one of the people who played the board that day was the husband of this woman.
The woman smiled awkwardly, "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, why don't you see Yi'er?" ”
"Oh, he worshipped a master in the town to learn some trades, and he won't go back to the village."
Mo Shi still smiled lightly, although the woman's husband acted according to orders, but she was also present that day, and she saw with her own eyes how heavy the man was.
After all, no one can forgive those who do things to their children, and it's already good not to hold grudges.
"It's also a good road, and the days will get better and better in the future." The woman was human.
"Aunt Xie, take your auspicious words."
Mo Shi lifted the ox rope and was about to continue walking, but a little girl in a coarse linen dress pounced with a panicked look and tears in her eyes.
Afraid of hitting someone, Mo hurriedly tightened the cow rope.
Fortunately, the girl with blurred eyes changed direction in time, and ran towards the road outside the village at a very fast speed.
She didn't have time to wipe away her tears, she just ran as fast as she could, as if a mad dog was chasing her from behind.
The three Anxi people on the ox cart didn't have time to react, and they saw a shoe fly over with a "Hugh".
An Xi was a little caught off guard and avoided his body, and the worn-out shoe fell on the ground covered in dirt.
Shoes that were already dirty enough are even dirtier now.
Wang scolded and ran after him, and angrily glanced at the people in Anxi on the ox cart.
But now is not the time for her to fight with others, and after glancing at Mo Shi on the ox cart with disdain.
Wang quickly bent down and lowered her head to pick up the shoes, she didn't care about wearing them, she just ran after the girl who ran away in front of her and scolded her.
Until Wang's back was far away, Anxi's ears still echoed with Wang's foul language when he cursed.
It's really poisonous enough to scold...... An Xi silently commented in his heart.
Seeing the crowd gradually pouring up, chattering and not knowing what to say, Anxi wanted to escape a little.
Sharp-eyed, she saw Aunt Wu standing in the crowd, and in order to make it easier to inquire about what had just arrived, An Xi boldly shouted to the crowd.
"Aunt Wu, Aunt Wu, we are here."
When Aunt Wu heard the voice, she saw An Xi smiling and waving her hand, so she also walked out of the crowd and got into the ox cart.
As soon as Aunt Wu got into the car, she asked about comfort.
Hearing that An Yi was fine, she also became happy.
The ox cart gradually moved away, away from the noise and noise, An Xi felt that his mood was also quieter, so he asked leisurely.
"Auntie, what just happened? So lively? ”
Although it is said that there is no mixing of right and wrong, but now there are fewer people and fewer eyes, and it is good to understand the situation.
"Oh, you said that Erya."
"Who is Erya?"
An Xi was puzzled, to be honest, although the predecessor probably told her, but in this village, she only knew a few people.
"It's the girl who just fled in a hurry, Xi'er, don't you remember her?" Mohs question.
"No, no, I remember, she just ran over with that look, and I didn't recognize it for a while."
"Also, what's wrong with these two guys? How did you run out crying and red-eyed? Mohs was also a little curious.
"Harm, it's not that Wang's family, for twenty taels of silver, sold his own daughter to a bad old man in her mother's village."
"Why are you so ruthless?"
"This Wang family, you also know, seeing the owner of the money-eyed, it is not uncommon for him to sell his daughter for money, but these twenty taels of silver are indeed attractive enough."
"Auntie, won't the second girl's father stop you?"
An Xi felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, although the person who was sold was not her.
"Xi girl, not everyone who is a father is good, her father is afraid of the Wang family, plus twenty taels of silver, it is indeed enough"
"Besides, this daughter is spilled water when she marries, it is someone else's family after all, what is there to feel sorry for, it's just that it is indeed too much to sell to a bad old man."
An Xi looked at Aunt Wu, especially when Aunt Wu said that her daughter getting married was the water that was spilled out, and it was someone else's family.
She knew that even if she was as kind-hearted as Aunt Wu, she was still a prisoner bird in a feudal cage.
An Xi's heart sank, she didn't speak, but she felt a little sad in her heart, feeling sad for this era, and feeling sympathy and compassion for Erya, who is also a woman, suffering such a change.
Aunt Wu seemed to say that she was addicted, and she quickly poured out the ins and outs of what she knew.
The old man is sixty years old, and Er Ya is only twelve years old, so the old man can be Erya's grandfather.
What Erya was crying and begging and knelt in front of Wang, but Wang not only did not have a trace of emotion and distress
Instead, he pointed to Erya's head and scolded her for being unfilial, a white-eyed wolf raised in vain, and the dog still knew how to repay the favor for the master, but her Erya was not even as good as a dog.
What is the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, the second girl must listen to her Wang family's words, let whoever she marries will marry and sleep.
And Erya is also a stubborn girl, she refused to agree to death, so she was chased and beaten by Wang with shoes, beating and beating, Erya turned her mind down, pushed Wang down, and ran desperately out of the village by herself with her teeth, wanting to escape and avoid the fate of marrying an old man.
Seeing this, the Wang family also frantically followed, wanting to arrest Erya back.
Aunt Wu was happy to say it, but An Xi didn't want to listen to it at all.
She lowered her eyes to remove the complicated emotions in her eyes, and unconsciously hugged Xiao Anjiao tightly with both hands.
She was thinking that even a good person like Aunt Wu was inevitably poisoned by feudal backward ideas.
Then her mother, Mo Shi, will she think the same way? Could it be that you also think that the girl doll belongs to someone else's family, and if you marry someone else in the future?
An Xi's heart was a little heavy, and his ears listened to Aunt Wu's babbling, and Mo Shi echoed from time to time.
She felt as if something had changed in her state of mind.
