Chapter 16: Undecided
As the night grew darker, Cai Xiaowei got off the ox cart and walked home.
It was dark and she couldn't see the road clearly, and after lighting the fire and walking for a while, she heard the voice of a woman calling for help from the other side of the woods, and she couldn't think much about it, she picked up a wooden stick and approached the woods carefully.
I vaguely saw a man pinching a girl's neck.
"Helpβ" The girl let out a cry of pain, her breath rising and falling.
Tang Mian's heart tightened, and when she was in a posture and was about to save someone, someone flashed behind her and covered her mouth and nose.
The fishy smell on the rags almost didn't make her retch.
The other party felt that she was struggling, and the handcuff was getting tighter and tighter.
"Woo woo......" Sensing the danger, she struggled desperately, but felt that her body had lost her strength.
"Big brother, this girl is so good-looking, can you make the little brother also-"
Chen Sheng glared at him angrily, and his woman dared to touch it, he really didn't want to live.
The other party was frightened by his fierce eyes, hurriedly made amends, and left quickly with his daughter-in-law.
In the moonlight, a white figure kept looking around.
As the so-called concern is chaos, Du Yunze felt very chaotic in his heart, and finally he was very tired from running, and finally stopped after a while.
No, you have to be calm.
Taking a few deep breaths, he forced himself to think.
If I were Chen Sheng, the place to start would definitely be the distance where Tang Mian got off the ox cart and walked home, there was a vacant lot at the entrance of the village, but there were many people nearby.
If I were him, he would choose the woods!
"Tang Mian! You must not be fine! β
Chen Sheng looked at Tang Mian who was asleep here, he didn't expect this girl to be so attractive, look at this little face, it was really tender enough to pinch out the water.
It's been a long time since I've come across such a good-looking product.
As long as she destroys her reputation, she will not let him handle it in the future.
In a daze, Tang Mian felt that someone was untying her clothes.
The head suddenly became a lot clearer.
"Ahh Chen Sheng! How are you? What are you going to do to me! Get out of here! Looking at Tang Mian's frightened expression, Chen Sheng also faded his previous disguise, "Mian, I like you very much, but why don't you look at me, I'm really uncomfortable, I'm not worse than others at all, why don't you like me." I'm going to make you mine today, I want you! β
What Du Yunze said is true, Chen Sheng is just an evil ghost, she saved the wrong person.
She hurriedly got up, and as soon as she got up, he pounced.
"This forest is deserted during the day. There will be no one at night. Cotton, don't worry, I will continue to come to the door tomorrow to propose, will you marry me? I really like you......"
The feeling of helplessness before death came to the tip of her heart again, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
Rather than letting people know that she was defiled, she would rather die.
"Mother, I'm sorry, my daughter is going to leave you again this time."
She closed her eyes, gradually giving up resistance, and was about to bite her tongue and kill herself.
The white figure flashed and kicked Chen Sheng, who was plotting against him, away.
In an instant, his body hovered in the air for a long time, and it didn't take long for him to fall heavily to the ground, and he couldn't get up for half a day.
"The prodigal son! I still want to run! Hearing someone's footsteps, Du Yunze looked at the disheveled Tang Mian, hurriedly took off his robe and disappeared into the night with her.
Soon they came to a carriage ten miles away from the entrance of the village.
Du Yunze usually asks people to put a set of clothes on the carriage for backup.
"Hurry up and change it! Otherwise, your mother will be worried later. When you go back, tell her, the water in the store today stained your clothes, you are in a hurry to go home, Tian Bo took the wrong clothes......" He saw Cai Xiaowei in shock, and told her how to deal with it, seeing that the sleeves and pants were a little big, he helped her tidy them up, and then sent her back.
The carriage stopped at the entrance of the village, and Du Yunze let Tang Mian walk in front, saying that he would follow behind to protect her, so that she would not be afraid alone.
Along the way, Tang Mian felt a huge dark night enveloping her, and she was terrified, and when she passed by the woods again, she was so scared that she couldn't take a step forward.
"Don't be afraid, I'm behind you, and I'll protect you." Tang Mian heard his voice in his ears
But he didn't see any other figure.
Fortunately, at this time, Bai Yunniang came out with a lantern outside the door.
"Is cotton you?"
Hearing her voice gave Tang Mian great courage. She hurried forward and threw herself into her arms.
"Mother! I'm scared, it's too dark! Tang Mian didn't want her to worry, and after finishing speaking, she resisted the urge to cry, and her whole body was shaking.
"Cotton, don't go to the store to wash the dishes. You're coming back so late every day, and I'm worried about you. Bai Yunniang said, her daughter has not been afraid of snakes, insects, rats and ants since she was a child, but she will be afraid of the dark when she walks at night.
"Mother, I'm fine. Today, the shop paid for the salary, and after some time, my purse was left in the store after my clothes were soiled by the water. Mother, I get two taels of wages today......"
"What! Is the wage so high? She asked.
Tang Mian nodded and pushed her into the room to talk.
Not bad! This girl was much smarter than he thought. After just a few words, the whole person calmed down.
It's a good thing he arrived in time today, otherwise she would have been finished.
In the dead of night, Tang Mian tossed and turned and still couldn't sleep.
She was so scared, it was all thanks to Du Yunze's action, otherwise she wouldn't dare to think about going out.
Thinking of her attitude towards Du Yunze when she met a few times before, she regretted it.
felt that she hadn't slept for long, and Tang Mian was woken up by her mother.
"Cotton, get up quickly, or you're going to be late."
Yawning, Tang Mian got up, looked at the clothes worn by the little guy, and thought of Du Yunze.
After all, there is no man in the family, and the clothes worn by the drying maid are not suitable.
She took it to the store, washed it herself, and dried it in the backyard.
When the people in the store saw it, they were also very interested and didn't ask much.
At noon, Tang Mian made some snacks and went to Dujia Pharmacy.
"Little brother, I want to meet Young Master Du, and I'm sorry for you to pass it through."
"Girl, I'm sorry, my young master is not a guest, if you have anything, I can tell him."
Tang Mian half opened her mouth, turned her head and heard someone calling her.
"Miss Tang, why are you, oh...... I know you're here to find the young master, come with me! As Xiao Tong spoke, he personally took Tang Mian to the backyard, the yard where Du Yunze was doing things.
Xiao Tong motioned for her to wait outside the door first, and he went into the room to make an announcement.
At this moment, Du Yunze was getting big by the pile of accounts.
Seeing that Xiao Tong didn't buy the candy he wanted to eat empty-handed, he shook his face to show her.
"Young master, the shop owner fell and injured his arm the day before yesterday, and he can't move until now, their shop will be closed for a few days, so the little one will take a detour to the other side to buy some ginger candy and come back."
"Didn't I tell you, Young Master Ben only needs to eat candy made by the family! What do you buy these back for! You don't really want to pour night incense! Hearing the young master say this, Xiao Tong knelt down.
"Young master, the little one is wrong, I'm sorry!"
"Miss Tang, why don't you go in? My young master is in there! Haitang came over with the account book, and after he recognized Tang Mian, he guessed that she was here to find the young master, but now she looks a lot gentler, and she doesn't see the fierceness of the past few days.
Hearing the voice, Du Yunze hurriedly looked through the crack in the window, and saw that it was really Tang Mian, and his heart tightened.
"What are you still doing on your knees! Why don't you hurry up and get someone in! β
Later, Tang Mian knelt down directly when he entered the house to compensate Du Yunze.
"Miss Tang, what are you doing here? Hurry up! β
"Young Master Du, I used to be wrong, I often misunderstood you and didn't say it, and I said a lot of things that made you uncomfortable, please forgive me, thank you for your righteous action yesterday, thank you."
Tang Mian knew that speaking was like spilled water, and it was difficult to collect it, and it was precisely because of her prejudice against Du Yunze that she caused so many things.
When she finished speaking, she was so ashamed that she lowered her head.
