Chapter 40: Deterrence
The incident of last night was so big, and it had already spread in the village at this time. The women who participated in the operation began to go from house to house without even eating, intent on spreading the word to every corner. So usually everyone gets up and is busy doing the farm work in the fields, but today the women don't even do any work, and they get together to talk about the interesting things that happened last night.
In their words, it's even more exciting than in the play. They also said that Orion was so clever that he knew that his goblin was being remembered, so he dug a trap outside the yard. Fortunately, there is this trap, otherwise that little goblin would have cheapened Zhao Hai's turtle king.
There are multiple versions of a story, which is really more exciting than the storyteller. Meng Yuxuan came out of the village chief's house and met many villagers along the way, and they saw her as if they were seeing a tiger, with strange expressions. When those gossips reached her ears, she was angry and laughed. In particular, the title of 'Orion's goblin' is really ridiculous.
"What did she say to the village chief?" As soon as Meng Yuxuan left, the rising woman grabbed a woman who had just come from the village chief's house and asked.
The woman's expression was strange, and her face was particularly ugly. She trembled and said, "Later...... Don't mess with her. β
"What do you mean? Why can't you mess with her? Does she have more hands or more heads? What the hell is going on? Then three or five women surrounded her.
"Isn't there a lot of straw next to the village chief's yard? I was eavesdropping right there. Then I heard the village chief say to her......"
Meng Yuxuan listened to their discussion and was indifferent.
In the past, she wanted to get along with them wholeheartedly, even if she couldn't be like a family, she tried to respect each other as much as a guest. It wasn't until these unpleasant things happened one after another that she realized how naΓ―ve her thoughts were. She couldn't be one of them after all. In that case, stay away!
It is better to be in awe than to be despised and to be picked on by others. This saves you a lot of trouble.
Just now she clearly felt that there was a person hiding outside the straw pile of the village chief's house, but she didn't say anything. This time it was a warning to the restless people in the village. It was just right for someone to spread these words, and she was saved a lot of trouble. In the future, everyone's well water does not interfere with river water. If not, then don't blame her.
After this incident, Meng Yuxuan knew that there was no way to integrate into this village. Maybe even Aunt Lin, who was originally good friends with her, was afraid of her. But she didn't mind. In this life, she doesn't want to live so poorly anymore. No matter who insults her and hurts her, she will repay it tenfold, hundredfold, thousandfold, and ten thousandfold.
"Mother, where have you been?" Shangguan Xi sat on the threshold and immediately ran to her when she saw Meng Yuxuan coming back. "Why did it take so long to come back?"
"Didn't I tell you I was going out for a while?" Meng Yuxuan touched Shangguan Xi's head and said gently, "Are you still worried that I won't be able to go back?" β
"I had a dream last night in which you were gone. Mother, I like you to be my mother, don't you go, okay? Shangguan Xi pulled the corner of Meng Yuxuan's clothes and said.
"I'm not leaving. I'm not going anywhere. Meng Yuxuan squatted down and looked into Shangguan Xi's eyes. Xi'er, do you believe me? β
"Of course I do." Shangguan Xi nodded without hesitation.
"Don't rush to answer. You have to think about it first. Whatever you say or do, you have to think about it first. It is a brute who speaks and does things without thinking, and that is the easiest to make wrong decisions. Meng Yuxuan held Shangguan Xi's hand and raised a gentle smile.
"I ...... I'm scared of my mother's departure. As long as my mother doesn't leave, I will listen to you for everything. I believe what you say. Shangguan Xi thought for a while and said.
"Then you still don't believe me. I said I wouldn't leave, and there was doubt in your eyes. Meng Yuxuan touched his face and said, "Fool." As long as you are willing to be my child, I will definitely treat you as my own. Even if one day your father doesn't want to see me and wants to drive me away, the mother-son relationship between you and me will not change. You can still call me mother. β
"Mother, Xi'er will no longer doubt you in the future, you will be Xi'er's mother in the future." Shangguan Xi hugged her and cried.
"Alright. Didn't you let your Uncle Shen play chess with you? Why don't you go down? Is it a loss? Meng Yuxuan stood up and pulled Shangguan Xi into the house.
"Uncle Shen always deliberately conceded chess today, which is very boring. Although I lose every time I play chess, this is because I am not good at chess, and I will not rely on him. He deliberately lost today, I really don't know what it means. I didn't think it was interesting, so I didn't want to go down. Shangguan Xi pouted and said.
"Do you want my mother to avenge you?" Meng Yuxuan blinked and said mysteriously, "Mother will help you defeat that nasty bad uncle." β
"Does my mother still play chess?" Shangguan Xi said in surprise: "Why haven't you heard my mother talk about it before?" β
"There are a lot of things that my mother can do, but how can it be so simple as being able to play chess?" Meng Yuxuan chuckled: "Let's go!" Let's kill him and leave no armor behind. β
"Hmm. Uncle Shen stayed in the house all day, and he must have been stuffy a long time ago. My mother will pity him and spend time with him! Shangguan Xi said good things for Shen Chenzhi.
"Didn't you let me have contact with him?" Meng Yuxuan teased him. "Who is it that every time you see me bringing food into the house, it's like a thief? Who interrupted me when I said two more words to him? Who said in my ear that Uncle Shen looks fierce, don't get too close to him? β
"That's because I'm afraid he'll snatch his mother away! Daddy is not here, what if my mother is abducted by someone else and Daddy comes back? But I'm not afraid now. Shangguan Xi said confidently.
"Why? Are you so confident that your mother will die for your father? Meng Yuxuan deliberately teased him.
"Not really. I just think Uncle Shen's face doesn't look better. It's impossible for such a beautiful person to like an ugly monster, right? Shangguan Xi said with his tongue out.
Meng Yuxuan was about to say, 'Who said it was impossible', but thought that the people in the room could hear it, so she swallowed the joke.
"Xi'er, it hurts Uncle Shen's heart when you say this!" Shen Chenzhi in the room smiled bitterly. "Is my face that ugly? It's actually called the ugly eight. β
Shangguan Xi touched his head embarrassedly, he quietly approached Meng Yuxuan, and said in a low voice: "Mother, Uncle Shen seems to be sad." β
"It's not like, it's really sad." Meng Yuxuan said in his ear: "You can't say this in the future." It's a man.,But he's also very concerned about his appearance.γ β
"Hmm. I'll keep an eye out for it later. Now let's go and make him happy! Mother, if you don't win him, let him win! As soon as he is happy, he may forget my words. Shangguan Xi said embarrassedly.
Xi'er's words are wrong. If your mother wins me, I'll be really happy. Because I really haven't met an opponent in a long time. Shen Chenzhi in the room said.
Shangguan Xi was stunned, and a look of surprise appeared on his lovely face. He said, "How can Uncle Shen hear the whispering between me and my mother? β
"Your Uncle Shen knows martial arts and has internal strength. A martial arts master with strong martial arts skills can hear sounds far away. Meng Yuxuan blinked and explained with a smile.
"That'...... Xi'er also wants to learn martial arts. Shangguan Xi looked at her expectantly.
"This ...... Wait until you grow up! Meng Yuxuan frowned. Shangguan Xi's body is not a seedling for martial arts, if there is anything wrong, Shangguan Huan will not be able to split her?
Pushing the door into the house, Shen Chenzhi was sitting there reading a book. I don't know if it's because of his strong physique or if her spatial water is effective, his injuries recover quickly. It was now possible to walk slowly around the room for a while. It's just that the injuries on the chest and body will hurt after a long time, and I can't stand it at this time. The pain in her whole body felt like it was about to tear her apart.
"Shen Gongzi, your tone is quite arrogant!" Meng Yuxuan sat down in front of the bed, put away his books, and put the chessboard on it. "Today will definitely fulfill your wishes, let you lose well, let you lose enough."
"In this way, I thank Madame for her accomplishment." Shen Chenzhi made a gesture of first invitation.
"I'll take the white child!" Meng Yuxuan chose Baizi.
Shangguan Xi sat in the middle, watching the duel between the two on the chessboard.
During this time, Meng Yuxuan was busy and rarely had time to accompany him. It is rare to be by his side today, and he feels very happy.
Meng Yuxuan looked at the position where Shen Chenzhi fell, and her eyes flashed with contemplation. Isn't there a dead end? With Shen Chenzhi's chess skills, how could he play like this?
Did he want to let her? No! It's all too obvious! That's ...... What kind of game is he setting up?
"Mother, it doesn't matter if you lose. Uncle Shen's chess skills are very good. In my opinion, I'm afraid that my father won't be able to win him. Shangguan Xi comforted beside him.
"Your dad can play chess?" Shen Chenzhi glanced at Shangguan Xi and asked casually.
"Of course. If my dad doesn't know how to play chess, how can I do? My chess and calligraphy were taught by my father. Shangguan Xi said proudly. My dad is much more at stake than you. He went hunting in the mountains every day, and he was never seriously injured like you. Are you still a martial arts master? It's far worse than my dad. β
"Stinky boy, your father is the best in the world, okay?" Shen Chenzhi snorted.
"That's what it was!" Shangguan Xi smiled sweetly.
"I see." Meng Yuxuan saw Shen Chenzhi's back road and glanced at him, those flattering eyes seemed to say, 'You are very cunning'. She pointed to the position and said, "This is your retreat, isn't it?" β
"Madame, good eyesight. Shen's last move was blocked by you. Shen Chenzhi shook his head and sighed: "I lost in the next place." β
"I just said my mother is the best. Uncle Shen, aren't you very interested? Planted in my mother's hands, right? Shangguan Xi said proudly.
Shen Chenzhi listened to Shangguan Xi's words and was moved. He looked at Meng Yuxuan affectionately, pursed his lips and smiled: "It's not!" Shen can be regarded as planted in the hands of his wife. For the first time in my life, I lost so convincingly. β
