Is it to avoid suspicion?

The old lady told Lin Hemai that it is best not to meet before the man and woman get married, which is rude.

But the two have already met once! Although Lin Hemai didn't know that he was Yang Liulang at that time, let alone that he would come to the Lin family to ask for marriage in a few days, how could the two people who had already met avoid suspicion because of these red tapes?

What's more, in Lin Hemai's impression, Yang Liulang should not be a well-behaved person with a mouthful of words.

Did he see himself jumping out of the Lin family's yard? So why not ask yourself? Why not settle it out a bit?

Lin Hemai was very entangled at the moment, she wanted to know what Yang Liulang had seen, what she thought in her heart, why she returned the veil to herself so unhappily, which whetted her appetite and made her worry about sleepless nights!

When the moonlight began to cut from the bridge of her nose to her eyebrow bone, He Mai realized that it was almost three days now, and if she didn't sleep, she wouldn't be able to get up early in the morning.

Early in the morning, she and Shancao agreed to go to the grocery store in Qinglu Village as a companion to buy some household things.

But Lin Hemai had another idea in her heart at this time: she wanted to go to the thatched hut where Yang Liulang lived early in the morning, and ask him well, why did she do this? What did he see? What does that mean exactly? Save it, let her scratch her heart and liver, and think about it for a long time!

But Lin Hemai himself knew that this idea was just a thought.

First, the people in the village said that Yang Liulang went out early and returned late every day to hunt prey on Xiaoqingshan. I went rashly, I was afraid that I would run in vain.

Both, if it was seen by the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the village, she Lin Hemai didn't care about anything, but if a broken-mouthed woman like Aunt Fang ran to the old lady and said, she couldn't ignore it!

He Mai thought in his heart, if he gets married, he will get married, why do he want to avoid suspicion? What a hassle!

Qin woke up early, and after getting up early in the morning, he cleaned the yard with water, fed bran rice to the three chickens in the yard, and then prepared to make breakfast.

When Lin Hemai got up, she saw Qin scooping water in the almost empty water tank, she hurriedly dressed up, and shouted to the outer courtyard: "Milk, I'll go fetch water!" ”

When He Mai walked outside with a flat pole and two wooden buckets, Qin's voice echoed in the small courtyard behind: "Don't fill the water, don't be careful if you don't move!" ”

Two buckets full of water, a young woman or a mother-in-law who has worked for many years can hardly hold it, but the wheat can be moved.

The thatched hut where the grandparents live is half a mile away from a small stream on the branch of the nearest Changqing River, and the wheat grabs water twice a day on weekdays, which is enough for the grandparents to eat and wash every day.

Carrying an empty bucket, Hemai relaxed all the way to the stream.

The creek is overgrown with weeds, and it is usually impossible to get down to your feet. When He Mai first came here to find water, he struggled to find a place where he could put his feet, and made a mark so that he could easily find this place next time.

But when he came back the second time, the mark was still missing, but He Mai unexpectedly found another place where the weeds were almost gone, and the place was simply paved with gravel and broken tiles, but it was very careful.

Standing by the stream, He Mai carefully placed the flat pole and the two buckets behind her, pulled up her trousers, and squatted down.

Somehow, at this time, the turbulence of the stream is very rapid, and the waves of the water rush forward one after another as if fleeing for their lives, and the shoes under the feet of He Mai have been wet with the water, and the cold feeling is not sad, but refreshing and refreshing.

He Mai carried the handle of the barrel and slowly submerged the barrel to the bottom of the water, so that the clearest and cleanest water in the stream poured into the bucket, and in a short time a bucket of water was ready.

Turning around, the second barrel was also watered.

What is different from the first time is that when He Mai turned back for the second time, there was a silent and thick gable behind him.

In fact, where there is an extra gable out of thin air, it is a person.

"Yikes!"

He Mai screamed, and the wooden barrel hit the man's body, and most of the water spilled out, and he saw that the heavy wooden barrel was about to hit He Mai's feet.

He Mai was suddenly frightened, and when she saw that her feet were about to suffer, the quick instinct of the martial arts practitioner made her immediately turn around and hide in a safe place, but she didn't want to ......

In front of him was the unshakable body of the man, behind him was the rushing river, and the bank steps made of broken stones and broken tiles standing at his feet could only accommodate one person's past, where was there any extra place for He Mai to hide.

What's more, most of the water splashed out, and his feet were slippery, and his eyes turned straight up from a weedy water that he was looking at, to the clear blue and cloudless sky, and then to the rushing and swift brook and weeds......

Feeling weightless and desperate and helpless, He Mai closed his eyes heavily, waiting for the imaginary pain to come.

A strong hand grabbed her waist, and that hand was like a deep-rooted old tree, after catching Hemai's slippery body, he steadily lifted her up and stood in front of him.

Everything that happened was just a matter of time, and He Mai's reaction was already very fast, and the man's reaction was fast and steady.

"Is that you?" He Mai saw the person in front of him clearly and was surprised.

The dark blue shirt was washed and white, but it was clean and neat, and the calf was tightly tied with black leggings, which made his whole person look extraordinarily neat and tight.

On the face that He Mai was not very familiar with, a pair of bright dark eyes were indifferent, and when he looked at He Mai's eyes, he narrowed slightly, but then returned to his normal color.

His chin was covered with a thick and obedient beard, thick, but supple, not at all like the stray beards on the chin of the village man.

These mustaches covered the facial features of the lower half of his face, and the corners of his lips were covered with indifference, and they also covered the arc of his lips, making this supposedly good-looking face half of the color of the light, much darker.

He Mai only looked at him in a hurry for a moment, and then she couldn't help but move away—there seemed to be an arrow hidden in his eye, and although the sharp tip of the arrow did not face her, she could see the arrow.

He Mai couldn't help but think blankly: the power of this young hunter is so great!

She hurriedly looked away, her eyes fell on his chin again, and she thought: How long a beard can grow for two or three months? If she married, she would have to tell him to shave off his beard, and she didn't like it......

Her face turned red at the thought of this—she should move in with him next month.
