Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Shrine Maiden
"Is it heavy?" He asked softly.
I'm afraid that I haven't done such tiring work for a long time, and this waist is even struggling to straighten up. After Li Tiezhu beat it, he looked at the sky, asked her to go back to her room to rest, and trotted to the kitchen to cook for them.
Looking at her back, Ye Xiaoying's heart was moved. After eating, rest before going out.
"Grandma." Ye Xiaoying thought about asking the grandmother next door, maybe there was a superfluous. Her voice was small, and there was no movement inside, perhaps Grandma didn't hear it.
The courtyard door was hidden, so she walked in first, and before she could speak, she suddenly heard the voice of a strange man talking. Ye Xiaoying has been here for a short time, and almost everyone has seen it.
Especially in the days before seeing people, she had seen even the villages where it was most difficult to go out to meet, and she also took his pulse, and wondered in her heart, Grandma had no children and no daughters, and her wife had also passed away.
She lives alone, and it is not difficult.
I'm afraid it's a distant relative, Ye Xiaoying was hesitating whether to come back later, or interrupt them, but suddenly heard the strange man's voice and looked excited,
"The whole village and the people in the neighboring villages believe that she is an ominous person, grandma, don't be stubborn."
Ye Xiaoying was stunned, ominous person? For some reason, she suddenly remembered that she was picked up by Li Tiezhu, and before her fragile heart could recover, she heard the man continue:
"Nowadays, how can any woman see a doctor, they know all witchcraft, it is a trick to hide the eyes, and it will not be long before the condition of the person she has seen will be even more serious."
If it's really not that she wronged people, this person actually spread his own rumors behind his back, no wonder it was originally good, but suddenly everyone didn't come to her for medical treatment, it seems that everyone thought she could only witchcraft.
Ye Xiaoying was trembling with anger, and blood was surging all over her body.
Grandma's voice was full of doubts, "Impossible, that's a good girl, the first day she came, the old woman saw her every day, she smiled sweetly and looked beautiful, how could it harm our minds?" It's just that the girl who is too handsome is really not good. ”
Her heart was cold, she felt that it was pointless to stay any longer, and it was even more embarrassing to rush in, and she would have a headache if she frightened Grandma. Quietly retreated outside the courtyard, leaning against the corner.
From the outside, it looks peaceful, the weather in April is sometimes cold and sometimes hot, and in the shade, the cool wind blows, but it is a little cold, as if even her heart is also cold.
I don't know how long it took, but I heard the sound of a wooden stick hitting the ground in the courtyard and beckoning: "Big Foot, don't forget to bring rheumatism plaster to the old woman next time you come to the village, it hurts badly when it rains." ”
"Grandma, don't worry, I remember it." The man named Bigfoot left humming a little tune softly, not here, still out of town, going to see a doctor and selling medicine.
The lightning turned in his mind, the door had been pushed open, Ye Xiaoying had already hidden beside him, and after he closed the door for his grandmother, Ye Xiaoying appeared in front of him coldly and blocked his way.
"Yikes!" Ye Xiaoying, who was silent, startled the big foot, he first stroked his heart, and after seeing that it was Ye Xiaoying, his face was unnatural, he smiled reluctantly, and then wanted to slip away from the side.
"My name is Ye Xiaoying, what is your surname?" Ye Xiaoying was generous, her bright eyes were shining, and she seemed to be in a good mood.
"My surname is Li."
"Li Dajiao." The corners of Ye Xiaoying's lips raised, and her gaze never left him.
Li Dajia was stunned and asked involuntarily, "How do you know." ”
With a cold snort, Ye Xiaoying glanced at him, "Don't you know how I know?" You don't know me very well, and even I don't know that I'm a demagoguery witch who murders people's lives! ”
Ye Xiaoying's words were thorny, and Li Dajia, who was originally amazed by Ye Xiaoying's beauty and temperament, also became aware at this time.
He lowered his head and didn't dare to meet Ye Xiaoying's stern gaze, and turned his back. This action reminded Ye Xiaoying that this person was the stranger who came to spy on her a few days ago.
She was even more annoyed, and said sharply, "Tell me, where do I look like a witch?" ”
Li Dajia had already recovered from the shock, and he began to fight back: "The young girl in the nearby village, who doesn't stay at home and usually doesn't see other people's men, but you are good, you flatter people, and you still use your hands and feet.
Leave it on the front, but if you want to dip in the pig pen, we are already very tolerant of you. Hmph, if you are restless any longer, just wait for retribution. ”
He began to get angry, but Ye Xiaoying calmed down, and she even raised the corners of her lips and laughed.
Outside the courtyard of Grandma's house is a small road, there are many people who usually come in and out, and at this time it is afternoon, and many people come out to work.
Seeing Li Dajia and Ye Xiaoying arguing, some people gathered around without disdain, and said: "A woman is virtuous if she is not talented, and if she knows a lot, she is not a witch, and it will bring us disasters." ”
The man who spoke, surnamed Xie, was a short, bald, skinny old man with a smile on his face, full of folds. At that time, when he sent bamboo worms, he asked for two copies by himself, saying that he was too thin and needed to make up for it.
When he had made up for it, he turned his head and attacked himself. Maybe this is the so-called white-eyed wolf. There were also a lot of people around, although they didn't speak, but no one helped.
Clenched her five fingers, only then did she stop trembling slightly, and her voice seemed calm, "I'm not a witch, I just know a little bit of healing, if you don't believe it, you can stop coming to me for medical treatment!" ”
"Lady!" An elongated voice attracted the attention of all the people, and many people scattered in a hurry, especially Xie Bald, who ran faster than the hare on the mountain, and the smoker was already gone.
Everyone didn't believe her, but Li Tiezhu would believe it, and it was enough to have this. Ye Xiaoying immediately stepped forward.
"Is someone bullying you, lady, I'm going to avenge you!" Seeing that everyone was surrounding his wife, Li Tiezhu originally poured water, and rushed over as soon as the basin was thrown.
He saw the crowd disperse, and one of them was hunched over, hiding in the crowd, and pointed at him angrily and said:
"Li Dajia still owes me a pheasant last time, he gave me a little medicine, asked me for two chickens, and said that I don't need to pay any more money for my next doctor, but I don't need it anymore, Li Dajiao!"
Li Tiezhu yelled at his back, full of anger. The curiosity of the originally scattered villagers has stopped. Ye Xiaoying must complain, Li Tiezhu is so protective, he will definitely embarrass Li Dajiao.
Although they were worried that they would harm themselves, they couldn't help but stop.
