Chapter 5 Wild Species (Asking for Recommendation Votes)
The terrain of Tiantai Township is gentle and open, and there are more than 100 households. To the east is a big mountain, which is the one where Xu Sanchun was trapped in the abandoned salt well. From the hill there is a small river that flows down the southeast side of the village. To the west is some cultivated fields, and to the north is a salt pan with hundreds of acres.
The salt works on which many people depend for their livelihoods are larger, larger than all the homes and arable land combined. At this moment, the sun is rising, and the salt pan is in full swing, and shirtless men are busy inside.
Judging from the news that Xu Sanchun noticed, this place is not as particular about men and women as she knows in ancient times. However, in the salt factory, because the salt from the well was too hot, the men only wore a crotch cloth, so women were forbidden to enter.
She only glanced in that direction a few times, then withdrew her gaze and walked east along the road in the village with Chen Hu, meeting many people along the way, all of whom looked at Xu Sanchun with strange eyes, and began to whisper when they were far away.
Xu Sanchun should not see these.
She knows her own affairs, and she doesn't remember the past 16 years of the original owner, let alone these villagers. What did it have to do with her?
Even if you don't know why, you will always know what you should know. Concerned about these trivial matters, she still wants to live. Before the crossing, she was often laughed at by her roommates for her nerves that were thicker than submarine fiber optic cables, and this place is no exception.
As she walked, she left it behind.
I have to say, fortunately, it's her character. If you change to a person who thinks too much about everything, you must be driven crazy when you encounter such a thing.
Turning a corner, there is a house in front of you. Unlike other houses in the village, the Lizheng family has a blue-gray courtyard wall with a high lintel, which looks extraordinarily magnanimous.
Chen Hu is a stuffy gourd, if she doesn't ask along the way, he just walks with his head down, not like a child of his age.
However, the house in front of him is so obvious, there is no need to ask Xu Sanchun to know that this can only be the Li Zheng family in the mouth of others.
Glancing at the sky, Xu Sanchun quickened his pace. Now is not the time to be curious, she has to finish the pigweed and go back early, there is still a lot of work to be done at home, and she will pile it up on the dumb girl when she goes back late.
What's more, she pretended to be calm on the surface, but in fact, she was already panicked in her heart. You know, she is a person who can't even tell the difference between leeks and garlic seedlings, and she has never even seen wheat seedlings growing in the soil, so how can she know how to distinguish pigweed?
What she relied on was just a little luck and acting at the opportunity.
It's just that the sky doesn't follow people's wishes, she is in a hurry, but others are not in a hurry. Several teenagers blocked the middle of the road, looking at her with a grin, and the thick-eyed teenager who took the lead crossed his hands to block her way.
"Get out of the way." Xu Sanchun was impatient.
How these flies are endless, buzzing and annoying, delaying her from doing her business.
The thick-eyebrow young man's face was a little unbearable, and he smiled and called her by name and surname: "Xu Sanchun, it's only been a few days, you don't know me?" ”
"I really don't recognize it."
"You!"
was watched by a cadre of people to see her so faceless, the thick-eyed young man trembled angrily, pointing at her and not coming off the stage for a while. Where did Xu Sanchun have this time to spend with him, and walked down this dirt road to bypass the field.
The thick-eyebrow boy reached out to stop her, and the others grabbed Chen Hu's arm. Chen Hu didn't say a word, but Xu Sanchun couldn't ignore him, so he stopped.
"Xu Sanchun! Don't be embarrassed! The thick-eyebrow young man blushed and said: "You are a wild seed, the master talks to you, that is to look up to you, you dare to throw my face?" ”
Bastard?!
Hearing this word, Xu Sanchun narrowed his eyes.
She's nervous, but she's not stupid, she's just too troublesome to think about a lot of things.
I think that back then, her grades were enough to go to 985, but she really loved painting so much that she was admitted to the Central Academy of Fine Arts with her outstanding results.
A flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she understood many things.
Aunt Chen's hesitation, the villagers' fingering, and the dumb lady being bullied in the Xu family but no one helped her say a word. It turns out that all of this comes down to the word "wild seed".
Yes, a woman who lives in her brother's and sister-in-law's house, without a husband but with a child. In this village where people look up and look down are all acquaintances, how can you not cause gossip?
Not to mention that in this great Shang dynasty, even in the 21st century, single mothers have a difficult life.
The dumb lady said that she was an abandoned baby picked up on the road and raised as a righteous daughter. Now it seems that it is clear that few people believe this reason. In addition, she can't speak, and if she wants to survive, she has to endure humiliation.
In this way, the life of the dumb lady is even more difficult than she thought.
Don't know why I'm here? Xu Sanchun thought a little distractedly. However, for any reason, since she is here, she will try to make the dumb girl live a good life.
occupies the body of the original owner, then let her replace the original owner and repay the dumb lady for the nurturing grace that she worked hard to bring up.
After all, if the dumb lady had turned a blind eye to her when she was still in infancy, she didn't know where she would have gone when she crossed over. Although it looks bad at the moment, the dumb lady loves herself to the core, and this is more important than anything else.
She is an easily satisfying person.
Moreover, she believes that with her own hands, she will definitely make a good life for the dumb girl.
Xu Sanchun didn't speak, looking at the other party's eyes, he thought she was soft. The thick-eyebrow young man looked at her lowered willow eyebrows, regretting the words he blurted out just now, and his tone became softer: "Sanchun, I have something to tell you." ”
This sentence made Xu Sanchun come back to his senses and glanced at him: "Please let me go, I still have to go up the mountain to hunt pigweed." ”
No matter what the thick-eyebrow boy in front of her wanted to say, she was not interested. For a person who calls her "wild seed" when she opens her mouth, her attitude is already amiable.
It's just that this thick-eyebrow boy didn't achieve his goal, how could he let her go. The two were in a stalemate, and a person ran in the distance, like an arrow from the string, and bumped into the thick eyebrow boy's body with a "bang".
The thick-eyebrow boy was knocked to the ground by him, the back of his head hit the ground, and he screamed in pain. The man picked up the hem of his shirt and smashed it in the face of the thick-eyed boy.
"Zhou Xiaoliu, are you crazy?!" The thick-eyed boy punched him violently and struggled. Seeing this, the people who followed the thick-eyebrow young man hurriedly stepped forward and set Zhou Xiaoliu up.
"I'm not crazy." Zhou Xiaoliu was held by several people and gasped, and said angrily: "You can bully people casually because you are the eldest young master of the Lizheng family?" Others are afraid of you, but I'm not afraid! ”
The thick-eyebrow young man got up from the ground, with an extra bruise on his face, looked at Zhou Xiaoliu and said hatefully: "Who am I bullying, is it worth your time to seek justice?" ”
He suddenly seemed to remember something, pointed at Xu Sanchun and asked, "Are you here for her?" ”
