Fallen leaves flutter in the forest, with yellow and red leaves spread on the ground, like a colorful carpet, in the gentle breeze, the pines and cypresses appear more verdant and more upright.

A horse stepped over the colorful carpet and galloped away.

On the horse, Tang Jinnian protected Qi Shuning tightly in front of him, holding the reins tightly with one hand, and wrapping Qi Shuning with the other arm, beware of her falling or being cold due to too fast speed.

"Shuning, what's the matter? Tired or not? ”

Qi Shuning shook his head.

At first, she straightened her back and tried hard to maintain her posture, but after a long time, she was extremely sleepy, plus Tang Jinnian was protected, if it weren't for this, at least it was too upset, she felt that she could almost sleep until home.

Even though it was too bumpy, she still slept and slept again.

From this, Qi Shuning really trusts Tang Jinnian, and she herself is inexplicable about the origin of her trust, but she doesn't want to think about it.

Along the way, when you are thirsty, you will take a kettle and drink two sips, and when you are thirsty, you will take out dry food and eat two mouthfuls, late at night, you will set up a bonfire in the forest, and the two of you will take a nap for a while, so you will be in a hurry day and night, and finally on the third day, Xiangshui Village will be close at hand.

Seeing that he was about to enter the village, Qi Shuning put his hand on Tang Jinnian's hand holding the reins and said, "It's not appropriate for me to go back with this dress, find a place, I'll change it!" ”

Tang Jinnian sighed in his heart that Shuning's concerns were thoughtful, and he found a remote forest, he turned his back and guarded Shuning personally.

In fact, they just changed the outer shirt, and they didn't bring the petticoat inside in a hurry, and they changed it in a moment, Tang Jinnian wanted to pick up Qi Shuning on the horse again, but Qi Shuning shook his head and said, "It's not far, go back!" ”

Tang Jinnian looked at the mountain path and frowned, but he still obeyed Shuning's meaning.

As soon as I entered the village, I saw the daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law in the village sitting on the roots of the old trees at the entrance of the village chatting together, and they were all doing their work.

The sharp-eyed man saw Shuning and said, "Ouch, isn't this the third girl of the Qi family, it's been a long time since I left, where did I go?" ”

Qi Shuning nodded and said hello, but didn't say anything.

Tang Jinnian was also dressed in ordinary clothes, and he followed behind Qi Shuning not far away, but he walked forward with a cold face and eyes without squinting.

As soon as the two of them walked by, the people at the entrance of the village began to talk.

"Quietly that arrogant, ignorant of love, it's really Yang, I learned to look down on people at a young age!"

"Those three girls have been like this since they were children, I have always thought that the child is quite polite, but she doesn't like to talk, and she is far worse than her eldest sister."

"I heard that their Qi family is biased to look at this third child, you quietly and openly walk with the young man, and you are not afraid of others gossiping! That is, we are kind-hearted, if it were someone else, the spit would drown her! ”

"But no, it's just a little older, if you don't learn it well, you may become crooked when you grow up!"

"Don't say it, this Qi family has no sons, and the family business saved in the past few years is not all the dowry of these daughters, who married their daughters is blessed!"

"You don't know! I heard that Miao is pregnant with a son in her belly! ”

"Really? Is it really a son? ”

"I said it from the sixth aunt of the family next door, I heard that it came from Lao Wang's family."

After speaking, the man rushed to a large mansion not far from the entrance of the village.

There is the landlord Wang Dabao's house.
