Chapter 301: A Wonderful Marriage
At this time, seven or eight officials on duty in the front yard heard Zheng Yushi's shout and hurriedly rushed into the backyard.
These officials saw that in the moonlight, the child and Zheng Yushi were standing there face to face, and neither of them said a word. The officials looked around and saw no one else.
The officials were a little confused, what was going on? They also stood beside the two of them, not knowing what to do next, so they had to wait for Zheng Yushi's instructions.
But for some reason, Zheng Yushi still stood there quietly, looking straight at the child without saying a word.
Under Zheng Yushi's very stressful gaze, the child finally pounced, knelt in front of Zheng Yushi, and cried.
Zheng Yushi took two steps forward, gently pulled the child up, and wiped the child's tears with his sleeve, and then returned to the house with the child and turned on the lamp.
In addition to leaving two officials by his side to take care of them, Zheng Yushi asked the rest of the people to go outside for night patrol. At this point, the child lowered his head tightly, as if he had done something wrong.
Zheng Yushi paused, and said to the child in a very gentle tone: "You don't have to be afraid, I saw all those just now, the python is in our area, the danger is very big, you must know a lot about the secret of the python, I think, you can't bear to see the python kill the villagers, therefore, I hope you can tell everything you know, you don't have any worries, I will make the decision for you, but if you don't report it, it will be a crime."
These words were soft and firm, gentle and stern, and after the child heard it, he nodded again and again. In the end, as if he had made up his mind, he raised his head and said to Zheng Yushi: "My lord, it's not that I don't want to say it, but I also have a hard time, since my lord saw everything just now, I won't hide it anymore."
Perhaps it was Zheng Yushi's stern and kind attitude that moved the child, and he didn't dare to hide it from Zheng Yushi anymore, so the child told him his deepest secret.
And when the child told these secrets, Zheng Yushi and the two officials next to him were deeply shocked, they didn't expect that so many bizarre things had happened to this child.
It turned out that the child's father was a hunter and the only son in the family, and his parents also passed away early. From the age of fifteen or sixteen, he began to hunt alone in the mountains, because of his hard body, coupled with his cleverness, he soon became a famous young hunter in this area, some rare game in the mountains, no one else can hunt, but he can hunt, so he gradually saved a lot of money, in his early twenties, he built a few good houses.
With the sycamore tree, you are not afraid that you will not be able to recruit the golden phoenix.
Although this young hunter is not powerful or rich, in the countryside, such a simple, handsome, and capable offspring still won the favor of many villagers.
As a result, many parents asked matchmakers to marry them, hoping to marry their daughters to him. This young hunter is somewhat arrogant, and he really doesn't like ordinary girls. Although the matchmaker proposed many times, none of them made him feel excited.
In the blink of an eye, the hunter was already twenty-three years old, and at that time, he was not married at this age, which was considered an adult. Although he himself is secretly anxious in his heart, he would rather lack than abuse, and if he can't wait for the person he likes, he won't get married lightly.
Coincidentally, in the winter when he was twenty-three years old, a matchmaker introduced him to a girl named Xiaocui from a neighboring village.
When the young hunter heard the name "Little Cui", his heart could not help but move, for this girl he had seen before—and had seen it more than once.
It turned out that Xiaocui's father opened a small restaurant in the town, and those who hunted and collected medicine in the nearby area often ate in the small restaurant, and Xiaocui helped in the small restaurant.
This girl is very smart and delicate, although in the small restaurant, it is inevitable that some male customers will occasionally make a provocative remark, but Xiaocui has always been neither humble nor arrogant, and her appearance is very decent. All of this made the young hunter very impressed.
He has also fantasized more than once that he can marry a daughter-in-law like Xiaocui, he will be satisfied in this life, and there is no other luxury, he also inquired about Xiaocui's situation on the side, and heard that Xiaocui's father was such a daughter as Xiaocui, and when she was in her forties, she gave birth to Xiaocui.
And Xiaocui's mother died of dystocia when she gave birth to Xiaocui, so many people said that this girl had a hard life, and as soon as she was born, she killed her mother.
Xiaocui's father, and later married a room, but after that, he never gave birth to other children, so, just such a baby girl, of course, will be regarded as the pearl of the palm of the general love, later, because this stepmother is not good to Xiaocui, the old man simply divorced her, and since then, the two have begun to depend on each other.
Xiaocui saw that her father was so old that she couldn't bear to see him working alone in the restaurant, so she insisted on coming to the restaurant to help despite her father's objections.
Seeing that the twenty-one-year-old girl is a twenty-one-year-old girl, it is said that she should have married a long time ago, but because Xiaocui wanted to take care of her father for a few more years, she was unwilling to marry so early, and Xiaocui's father was also very picky about the future son-in-law candidates.
Because Xiaocui is beautiful and has a good character, there is no shortage of good families in the local area to propose marriage.
When the young hunter knew about these situations, he couldn't help but feel a little discouraged, he felt that he might not even be able to pass the level of Xiaocui's father under such conditions.
Although compared with ordinary people, he has a fairly solid life, but after all, he was born as a bitter child, and he has no father or mother, and he has no brothers and sisters, compared to those who have fame or wealthy businessmen, he really can't be compared.
Therefore, he dispelled the idea of going to Xiaocui's house to propose.
But deep in the young hunter's heart, he has always been obsessed with Xiao Cui, and just when he felt that there was no hope between him and Xiao Cui, God gave him an unexpected surprise.
This kind of marriage is also very wonderful and unexpected.
At the beginning, Xiaocui was in charge of her father and married the son of a wealthy businessman in the county, who was not only rich, but also the brother of the wealthy businessman was also a big official in the capital, which can be said to be a well-known local family.
The rich businessman's son didn't know where he had seen Xiao Cui, so he was immediately fascinated, and after going back, he asked his father to find someone to propose, the rich businessman did not agree at first, he felt that a poor man who opened a small restaurant, how could he be worthy of their family, it was a world of difference, but he couldn't stand the baby son and son crying and making trouble, and finally had no choice but to agree.
So, he sent someone to propose, Xiaocui's father was a little ecstatic when he saw this rich businessman come to propose, of course he agreed, although Xiaocui was a little unsteady in his heart, but seeing that his father was so happy, he didn't say anything, and acquiesced to his father's arrangement.
The marriage was decided like this, and Xiaocui's father even accepted the bride price, and was ready to change the year to do the marriage, but the world was unpredictable, and then, an unexpected accident happened.
One day, the son of this rich businessman was drunk with a few fox friends and dog friends, he thought of his beautiful fiancée, in the town not far away, the son of this rich businessman, he was so itchy that he couldn't help but sit in a sedan chair and came to Xiaocui's restaurant.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the restaurant, the son of the wealthy merchant stumbled in, and at that time, it was ten o'clock in the afternoon, and the small restaurant was full of customers, and Xiaocui and her father were busy greeting customers.
As soon as the son of this wealthy businessman came in, he saw Xiaocui, he was drunk, seeing that his fiancée was so beautiful and slim, he couldn't bear it, and immediately rushed over, hugging and kissing Xiaocui, because they were all villagers, although Xiaocui and her fiancé had never spoken, but they probably knew each other, but seeing this gentleman, in front of so many people, he was so light on himself, he was really ashamed and annoyed, and tried to break free, but after all, women are not as strong as men, and they are still tightly held in the arms of the rich businessman's son, unable to move.
Xiaocui's father saw that his future uncle was going crazy and was so out of shape in public, so he hurriedly came over and wanted to pull his uncle away, but after all, he was an old man in his sixties, and he was pushed to the ground by the rich businessman's son, and his head hit the table, and blood flowed out.
Xiao Cui saw that his father fell to the ground, and his head was knocked out of blood, he was anxious and annoyed, screaming and scolding, trying to break free from the rich merchant's son's embrace, but the rich merchant's son was full of courage and his strength was very strong, Xiao Cui tried all his strength, but he still couldn't break free, so he could only cry anxiously.
The guests at the dinner were talking about it, and there were a few people who didn't know who this man was, and they were very unaccustomed to this kind of thing, and wanted to come up to help, but when they heard that this man was Xiaocui's fiancé, and he was also the son of a local and powerful rich businessman, they were silent one by one.
There are also a few ruffians and hooligans, who shouted as if they were having fun: "Xiaocui, you are here, anyway, you are someone else's person sooner or later, ha, today is just right, let the gentlemen also take a look at the live Spring Palace, hahaha." ”
Xiaocui's father trembled on the ground angrily, and wanted to get up several times, but his hands and feet did not obey the call.
In this way, after tossing for half an hour, the son of the rich merchant held Xiaocui tightly in his arms, and kept putting his mouth on Xiaocui's face, kissing hungrily, at first Xiaocui still had the strength to resist and shout, but later, his voice was hoarse, and he had no strength to resist, but he endured it silently with tears.
This kind of thing, naturally, someone told the rich businessman, and the rich businessman was ashamed and angry, so that a few strong men dragged his son back, and a farce ended.
After this happened, the two of them had no intention of doing business, so they closed the restaurant and returned home.
Xiaocui had been crying all afternoon, and her father kept persuading, saying that this uncle in the future was just drinking and having sex after drinking, so that Xiaocui should not be too sad.
But no matter how much persuasion was made, it was still useless, Xiaocui didn't even eat dinner, and in the end, as if she was tired of crying, she just sat there with red and swollen eyes, didn't say a word, and looked at a place blankly, the old man looked at his daughter like this, and could only sigh in distress, I didn't know what to do, just sat next to him silently, accompanying my daughter.
Unknowingly, it was close to midnight, and Xiao Cui, who had not spoken, suddenly said to her father who was sitting on the side: "Dad, you can also go to sleep, I am sleepy, I am going to sleep."
The old man comforted his daughter a few more times, and went back to his room.
But lying on the bed, but for some reason, the old man felt very upset, restless, he seemed to have a sense of ominous in his heart, so, he put on his clothes, just arrived at the door, he heard the sound of a chair falling to the ground in his daughter's house, he hurriedly walked to the door, and asked loudly: "Cui, what's wrong with you, are you okay?"
There was no response from the house, and the old man felt even more uncomfortable, so he rushed in, and by the moonlight from the window, he found his daughter hanging from the beams of the house.
