Chapter 5: Trouble

After a while, Chen Xuanwu's rooster began to crow, Fang Jincai slept for a few hours and was so noisy that he tossed and turned on the bed by the rooster's crow, he couldn't sleep, but it was still dark outside, all because it was bright late in early spring, if it was placed in summer, it would have been bright long ago.

She had long been accustomed to the boring days of the ancients, Fang Jin could only lie in bed and plan for the future, but in the past few days, she has deeply realized that plans can't catch up with changes, and it's better to plan more than to adapt to changes.

After another hour, Fang Jin really couldn't lie down, and the sky outside was a lot brighter, so he got up from the bed, the roosters were still crowing vigorously, Fang Jin pushed open the window, "Scream again!" I'm going to stew you today! She was not polite, and after only one night, she took Chen Xuanwu's house as her home.

With such an honest person, why should you wronged yourself?

Fang Jin pushed open the door, there was already fireworks in the yard, Chen Xuanwu came in from outside with firewood, it seemed that he was cooking with a fire in the kitchen, after a long time in the Fang family, Fang Jin had long forgotten the taste of breakfast, it was better to be thick-skinned and rub him a few more meals.

Chen Xuanwu's white porridge is much thicker than Du's, in contrast, Du's can only be called rice soup, the fragrant rice porridge exudes an overflowing fragrance, the rice and the soup are intertwined together, and the spoon stirs up the room with heat, where was Fang Jin willing to drink this kind of bland porridge in the past, but now this is simply the ultimate delicacy in the world.

Fang Jin thought well, Chen Xuanwu was a good person, he didn't plan to treat Fang Jin harshly, he served two bowls of porridge and steamed a few more eggs, so it seemed that it was not only hearty, this was the best meal Fang Jin had ever eaten since he was reborn!

"If you live alone on this mountain, aren't you afraid?" Fang Jin felt that the scene was a little embarrassing, and opened her mouth to chat with Chen Xuanwu, but she probably also knew that Chen Xuanwu didn't like to talk much, and he would only answer if someone else asked.

Chen Xuanwu lowered his head and drank porridge, "Don't be afraid, I'm Orion." "The back of his hand and the palm of his hand have a thick layer of calluses, which should have been drawn by the bow and knife all year round.

"Are you alone here?" Fang Jin suddenly understood why he wanted to find a daughter-in-law, it was too bleak to live alone in this forest.

"yes."

Fang Jin listened to his tone suddenly stiffened, so he didn't ask any more, seeing that Chen Xuanwu didn't have any bad intentions for himself, he could settle here for a while, but the group of people in the Fang family didn't get the rest of the bride price, I'm afraid they wouldn't give up so easily.

As Fang Jin expected, Du waited left and right at home, waited for more than two days and did not wait for the figure of Mrs. Zhao, and his heart was in a hurry, and he went to the door next door and knocked on the door a few times, but the door was locked, and finally waited for the third day, Du Shi stayed outside the door of Zhao's house early, for fear that there were two boxes of dowry gifts that would be swallowed by Mrs. Zhao.

"Yo, I haven't seen you for the past few days, but my aunt has lost a lot of weight, what's the matter, is it that my hands are not clean, I can't eat or sleep?" Du Shi stared at Mrs. Zhao tightly, for fear that she would run away from under his nose.

Mrs. Zhao did not send people to her, but caused Jin Niang to be dragged away by the tiger, how dare she see Du again, these days I ran to my relative's house to avoid the limelight, but the monk couldn't run the temple, the third day was not dawn and came back secretly was bumped into by Du Shi, the paper couldn't hold the fire, the living girl was lost, Mrs. Zhao had to talk out with the plate, sat on the ground and cried, "I'm sorry for your old Fang family, Jin Niang, Jin Niang She was dragged by the tiger on the way up the mountain, this hard-working girl......"

Du Shi was stunned when he heard this, thinking that Mrs. Zhao had swallowed her own things, but she didn't expect this result, "What did you say?" "Jin Niang was dragged away by the tiger, so if the hunter can't find anyone, what if he comes to the door at that time?" My good girl was sent to you, and you let her eat the tiger, and when people came to the door, none of you could escape! ”

Although Mrs. Zhao is timid and afraid, she has never been a good person to provoke, she saw that Du Shi was angry, and suddenly had a plan, "People are good in our hands, but how your Fang family has treated Jinniang's daughter in recent years, our Zhao family also sees it in our eyes, aren't you afraid that my wife will say it, so that everyone in the village will know what your Fang family is like!" ”

"You?!" Du Shi abused Jin Niang in every way at home, but in front of outsiders, it was a scene of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, after all, Du Shi wanted to accumulate prestige for Fang Yong, and it would be more convenient if someone recommended him in the future. "Human life is a matter of heaven, do you think our Fang family will be afraid of you?"

Mrs. Zhao stood up and pulled Du Shi aside, "Lao Fang's family, you listen to my wife, that Orion lives in the mountains, let's just treat Jin Niang as a good and decent one, but he didn't deliver our remaining two boxes of dowry, bring a few people, and let my family boss lead the way, I'm afraid he won't be able to give it?" ”

Where does the Du family care about is Jin Niang, it is clearly her two boxes of bride price, Mrs. Zhao is well versed in Du's mind, anyway, Chen Xuanwu only has one mouth and one pair of eyes, there are so many of them, so many mouths and so many pairs of eyes, who will be afraid of him?

Listening to Mrs. Zhao's idea, Du Shi turned his anger into joy, "I didn't expect that my aunt had already planned it, so I was worried in vain, so I went back to arrange manpower, and only asked my aunt to lead the way." ”

Early the next morning, the Fang family and the Zhao family found a few young and strong men in the village, and entered the mountain in a mighty way, and the Du family and the old woman Zhao followed behind and went to Chen Xuanwu's house.

Fang Jin was sleeping soundly, and when he heard Du Shi's voice in a daze, he thought he was dreaming, and when he woke up, he found that Du Shi was standing in the courtyard, scolding people loudly.

"My Jinniang sent it over in a dignified manner, and if you don't give the bride price surnamed Chen, you can't even see anyone at the moment, or do you mean that you have bad intentions and killed my daughter?" Du Shi saw that Chen Xuanwu was really alone, and he brought so many people with him, so he just splashed dirty water on him.

When Chen Xuanwu saw the peasant woman he saw, his face showed a look of boredom, "I don't know what you're talking about." ”

Old woman Zhao suddenly rushed to the front, pointed at Chen Xuanwu and said, "You are talking nonsense!" On that day, it was clear that the boss of my family and I personally sent people to your house, and you actually said that you didn't see it, it was obvious that you occupied the daughter of the Fang family and didn't want to pay the bride price! ”

Fang Jin hid in the house, now once he showed up, it would be a harm to Chen Xuanwu, but if he didn't show up, it would be bad for Chen Xuanwu, thinking of Chen Xuanwu's treatment of himself these days, it was his own escape that caused him trouble, speaking of which, he can be regarded as half of his life-saving benefactor, if it weren't for him, maybe he would have starved to death in the deep mountains and old forests.

The noise outside was intense, Chen Xuanwu listened to Du Shi sprinkle without saying a word, Mrs. Zhao followed behind to help, Du Shi was angry, shouting at the people behind him, "Folks, you see, our family's living daughter is gone, pity our old Fang family......"

The names of the villages that came to discuss the law were already ready to move, holding hoes and shovels in their hands, and when Chen Xuanwu made the first move, they rushed forward.

Seeing that Chen Xuanwu ignored his crying, Du Shi insisted on knocking him down, and rushed forward to pounce on Chen Xuanwu's body, "You return my daughter!" Otherwise, we will give the bride price money to our Fang family, and our Fang family will not be able to live a life......"

Chen Xuanwu couldn't resist, so he pushed Du Shi to the ground, it was okay if he didn't push it, a push was in Du Shi's arms, and a group of people behind rushed directly to the front, "You dare to do it with the sister-in-law of the Fang family, brothers, copy the guy, go up and clean him up for me!" ”

Fang Jin couldn't sit still anymore, she couldn't watch Chen Xuanwu being framed by the Du clan and misunderstood by the villagers, and walked out of the house, "Mother, why are you here?" It's still dawn. ”

As soon as Mrs. Zhao saw Fang Jin, she was so frightened that she sat on the ground, she clearly saw that Jin Niang was dragged away by the tiger, how could she be in Chen Xuanwu's house in a good manner, this, this is impossible!

Du Shi also panicked, could it be that Mrs. Zhao was deceiving herself? Now it's okay, there was a joke, and the villagers behind were confused, Du was sure that Chen Xuanwu couldn't hand over his daughter, so he dared to be so presumptuous, so as to give him a charge of murder for money, but now Jin Niang is a living person, and the big guy is not a fool, how can he continue to be deceived by her?

"Aunt Zhao, you give me an explanation!"

In a panic, Du Shi buckled the basin on Mrs. Zhao, saying that it was she who dragged her daughter away, and she was the one who instigated her to go up the mountain to stir up trouble.

Fang Jin smiled and walked to Chen Xuanwu's side, "Xianggong, why don't you explain it clearly to your mother, I'm just sleeping a little longer, it's time for you to change your temperament, it's all wronged on your head, you don't know how to say a word, I don't know, what happened to me?" ”

"Jin Niang!" Du Shi didn't have a good breath and said, "This Chen Xuanwu obviously promised to have two boxes of dowry, what is going on?" "Her heart is full of her two boxes of treasures, whether Jin Niang is dead or alive has nothing to do with her.

Fang Jin pretended not to know, "Huh? She stared at Mrs. Zhao, "That day, the prime minister obviously moved two boxes of things to Granny Zhao, which I saw with my own eyes, how could it be ......?" ”

"You!" Mrs. Zhao didn't know that this little girl would be so good at telling right and wrong, confusing black and white, now it's okay, Du Shi will definitely not spare herself, what happened after Jin Niang escaped that day, she really doesn't know.

Du Shi turned around and scolded and said, "Aunt Zhao, I respect you as an aunt, so I let you take Jin Niang into the mountain, you are good, even Jin Niang's bride price has to be swallowed privately, even if it is a matchmaker, it will not be so black-hearted!" ”

"Lao Fang's family, you can't say that, what do I want your two boxes of dowry to do?"

Mrs. Zhao didn't know how to explain, and the villagers behind her all watched, and made excuses for themselves, "The two of them have one heart, maybe they will join forces to deceive us!" ”

These two boxes of bride price are like hot potatoes, rolling around in everyone's hands, no one admits to seeing the bride price, only Chen Xuanwu and Fang Jin know it.

Chen Xuanwu, who had been silent for a long time, finally opened his mouth, "It's just two boxes of dowry, if you are not satisfied, I will prepare two more boxes for you." ”

Fang Jin's heart trembled, he was a hunter, and he only made a living by hunting, those fur dry goods were equivalent to all his belongings, he would give it when he said so, should he really be willing to give it?

Du Shi didn't expect that his son-in-law was a character who lacked heart, and his face suddenly smiled, "My good son-in-law, where are you talking about this, where do you care about this, for your mother I just hope that you will take care of Jin Niang in the future, just go to the door this time, I also came to see how Jin Niang is doing, not enough son-in-law Your heart, I accepted it for my mother." ”

Chen Xuanwu entered the house and took out two wooden boxes, which contained the bride price that should have been taken away by Mrs. Zhao, "It's just some dry fur, if you don't dislike it, take it back." ”

fell into Du Shi's arms, Du Shi looked at the wooden box, and his eyes were eager to roll out, "Come on, bring me things down the mountain, and invite you to eat at home tonight." "With these valuable items, are you still afraid that their Fang family will not be able to raise their heads in the village in the future?
