Chapter 40: Shilou Village

"When you are young, you sigh when you have nothing to do, don't you know that sighing is a disaster?!" the middle-aged man preached with a straight face. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"You saved my life, but I don't think anything happens to you, right?"

"Nothing to do?" The middle-aged man scolded with an angry look in his eyes: "You are going to be my son-in-law soon, you say it has nothing to do with me?"

"What?" Su Xiaoqi, who was taken aback, wanted to get up, but his legs were as soft as two noodles, and he couldn't feel the existence of his lower body at all.

"Did I save your life?" the middle-aged man said to Su Xiaoqi with a serious expression.

Su Xiaoqi could only nod, there was no middle-aged man, even if there was Tianlian Spring Milk to protect his heart, he would have to die of blood loss in the gourd forest.

"You're finally not like the scoundrel I thought you were. The middle-aged man's face looked a little better, but he still said with a gloomy face: "I saved your life, should you repay me?"

Before Su Xiaoqi could speak, the girl secretly pulled the corner of the middle-aged man's clothes, and called out with a blushing face: "Daddy......"

In this way, the sentence in Su Xiaoqi's heart, "I repay you, do you want to marry your daughter?" couldn't speak, the girl had suffered so much damage at the best age, he didn't want to be so cruel, and he could talk slowly with the middle-aged man after avoiding the girl.

After not seeing Su Xiaoqi answer for a long time, the middle-aged man thought that Su Xiaoqi was thinking about this marriage, so he said: "After the injury is healed, you will get married, and leave here after the cave, don't let me see you again!"

"Daddy, I'm not leaving!" the girl looked up at the middle-aged man's face with wide eyes.

"Zhu Zhu, you come out. The middle-aged man couldn't bear to look at the girl's face and walked out of the pharmacy.

Outside is a large courtyard where clothes are dried, and there are all kinds of bottles and cans, drying freshly chopped firewood. There are a lot of things, but they are well placed, if Zhu Zhu marries, she will definitely be a virtuous and good wife.

There are four tiled houses side by side, and there is a thatched hut next to the courtyard gate, which is a pot stove and a pile of dry firewood, which is also very clean.

"Daddy. Zhu Zhu rubbed the corner of his clothes and walked out of the westernmost pharmacy with the middle-aged man bowing his head.

The middle-aged man grabbed Zhu Zhu's shoulders with both hands and said, "Zhu Zhu, you must marry him." ”

"But I'm ...... But I didn't know him at all, I didn't even know his name. Zhu Zhu burst into tears.

The middle-aged man recalled with a smile on his face: "I have only met once with your mother when I got married, and there is time to get along after the door, and the feelings are cultivated in three meals a day, you are a good boy, and marrying him is his great blessing." ”

"But I'm ...... But I don't want to marry him......" Zhu Zhu looked down at his toes, and his voice became lower and lower.

"I know you like that kid from the Wang family. The middle-aged man sighed: "But you must leave this ominous place, staying here will only make it more and more painful day by day, I am already old, you are still young, you should have a better life." ”

"Daddy......" Zhu Zhu's eyes were filled with tears, and she saw that the middle-aged man's goatee was half white, and the wrinkles were also piled up on his face.

Zhu Zhu wiped away the tears on his face and said firmly: "Let's go together and leave here together." ”

"Your mother is still buried here, and I can't leave. The middle-aged man smiled lovingly and touched Zhu Zhu's head.

At this moment, there was a rapid slapping sound at the courtyard door.

"Zhu Ji, Zhu Ji. ”

"Gua Po Niang, call Dr. Zhu!"

"Doctor Zhu, Doctor Zhu, my son is no longer good, you can come with me to have a look!"

The middle-aged man hurriedly said yes, went to the hall and found a cloth bag and hurriedly walked out the door.

Zhu Zhu followed closely and said, "Daddy, I'll go too." ”

"Nope. The middle-aged man turned around, looked at Zhu Zhu and said, "You stay and talk to that kid, I'm in a hurry to marry my daughter, but I don't want to push my daughter into the fire pit." ”

The noise outside gradually disappeared, and Zhu Zhu didn't dare to enter the door outside the pharmacy, but finally, she made up her mind and gritted her teeth and walked in.

But as soon as she saw Su Xiaoqi's gaze, she let out an "ahhhh

Su Xiaoqi also felt uncomfortable, and stammered, "Auntie...... Nun...... Girl, this ...... Over here...... What kind of place is this?"

When the two who don't know each other get along, what they are most afraid of is that they are shy of each other and dare not speak, after Su Xiaoqi opened the topic, Zhu Zhu's mood finally stabilized a little.

"This is Shilou Village, you are the first stranger to come here in six years, my father asked me to marry you so that you can take me out of the mountains, I don't like you at all. Zhu Zhu pursed his lips, as long as Su Xiaoqi resolutely disagrees with this marriage, then his father should have no choice, right?

Su Xiaoqi listened to this childish conversation, couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said, "Your name is Zhu Zhu, right?"

A look of surprise suddenly appeared in Zhu Zhu's eyes, and he said, "How do you know?"

Su Xiaoqi said: "I not only know that your name is Zhu Zhu, but I also know that your father's name is Zhu Ji, and he is the only doctor in Shilou Village." ”

Zhu Zhu was stunned: "How do you know everything?"

Su Xiaoqi smiled: "My ears are very pointed, I heard your conversations outside." ”

"Oops. Zhu Zhu said: "You are really powerful, just a little worse than Brother Wang An." ”

"Who is Brother Wang An?"

Zhu Zhu bowed his head and was silent, his cheeks were full of red glow.

"If you just want to leave the mountains, I can take you out, and you don't have to marry me. ”

Zhu Zhu looked at Su Xiaoqi in surprise and said, "Really?"

Looking at Zhu Zhu's expression, Su Xiaoqi didn't know whether to smile bitterly or rejoice, and said, "If it's really to get out of the mountains, why does your father need you to marry a stranger like me?"

Zhu Zhu said gloomily: "Daddy is afraid that you will leave me alone after you take me out, or sell me to the Qinglou, if I marry you, and you ...... ...... with you."

"Oops!" Zhu Zhu stomped his feet in shame and said, "I don't know how to say it." ”

Su Xiaoqi reminded: "The truth of husband and wife. ”

"Yes, yes. Zhu Zhu's eyes lit up, and he said: "Daddy said that what men are most afraid of is green hair on their heads, if there is a husband and wife, even if I am a drag, you don't dare to leave me alone." ”

Su Xiaoqi sighed and said, "Aren't you afraid that I'm a bad person? When you found me, there were a lot of dead bodies around me, right?"

Zhu Zhu's pupils shrank, as if he remembered something bad, and said in a low voice: "In Shilou Village, you can see people leaving every few days, and we are not afraid of corpses." If you're a bad person, I'm willing to do it as long as you're good to me. ”

"Then what about your brother Wang An?"

Zhu Zhu said sadly: "Daddy won't let me marry him." ”

Su Xiaoqi said, "What if I take him out too?"

Zhu Zhu's eyes widened in surprise and said, "Are you serious?"

"Of course. Su Xiaoqi nodded, and then frowned slightly: "I'm just a little strange, why can't you go out of the mountains by yourself?"

Zhu Zhu said in frustration: "We can't get out." ”

"Why?"

"Oh, I'll talk to you later. Zhu Zhu actually walked out of the door.

Su Xiaoqi was confused, why didn't Zhu Zhu explain it to him?
