Chapter 9 Matchmaker

When Lin Mujie was enjoying the fragrance in the air, a little girl's voice came from behind her, she opened her eyes and turned around to look, and found a seven or eight-year-old girl with two pigtails and two glutinous rice chickens in her hands staring at the cat in her arms.

Seeing Lin Mujie stop, the little girl hesitated for a moment and asked timidly, "Sister, can I touch him?" She gestured to Maoya in her arms.

Sister? She actually called me sister? At this age, her heart was cheering at the moment, the corners of her mouth were raised high, and she fell into a brief self-smugness, and only after a moment did she squat down, look at the little girl, and whispered: "Touch it, he has a good temper, you can touch it hard." ”

When she finished saying this, she obviously saw that the little girl's eyes lit up, and she temporarily took the two glutinous rice chickens on her behalf, and her two hands couldn't wait to reach out to Maoya, and after rubbing him hard, the little girl showed a satisfied smile.

"Sister, you're not a local, are you?" The little girl with two pigtails spoke.

Although Lin Mujie wondered how a little kid could tell that she was not a local, she didn't ask and nodded with a smile.

"That sister must have never tasted our glutinous rice chicken, oh, I'll give you one." handed the glutinous rice chicken to Lin Mujie, and the little girl with pigtails jumped away.

And she also hugged the poor cat Ya and continued to walk with a smile.

"Wow, this glutinous rice chicken tastes so good." It's bigger and more fragrant than what she's eaten in the current world, and she eats as she walks, with a satisfied look on her face, while the cat next to her can only swallow saliva.

With a grunt, Maoya couldn't help but swallow another saliva, and just as he was about to open her mouth to ask her to leave him a little, she stuffed the glutinous rice chicken that the other half had never eaten into his mouth, and said, "Don't worry, I won't eat alone." ”

Heartbroken watching Maoya eat the remaining glutinous rice chicken, she took him to continue looking for Wenxiang Tavern, at this time, other children came over and wanted to touch Maoya in her arms, and then they would be like a little girl, share her with a little food, as a reward?

Gradually, after more people, she suddenly realized, this seems to be a good deal? Not only can you meet other people's "cat sucking" requirements, but you can also make a profit from it, and you don't have to grab food from the tiger's mouth, and grab a job with the matchmaker who is already full-fledged, why not?

Walking to a place where there were fewer people, she reached out and pinched his fat cheek, and said excitedly: "Maoya, do you know that you are very popular?" ”

Cata was inconvenient to speak, but gave her a proud look.

"Then do you say we should put up a sign next to it, which says: touch two copper plates at a time, or exchange food for food, so that if we calculate it in one day, we should be able to make a lot of money or exchange a lot of food......" After speaking, she looked at him expectantly.

He fell into deep thought.

"You're right to listen to me, think about it, you just have to stop on the street and be touched twice, and the money and food will be in hand, but if you want to match a couple, you have to know the man first, then the woman, and then ...... Oops, it's a hassle anyway. ”

"However, if we don't match couples, how can we cultivate? Also, what about the special smell on your body? Maoya looked down at the bracelet with snow-white fox fur on her hand and expressed her concern.

"We've got food, and we're going to give him a portion of it, so he shouldn't die for me, right?" Hearing Maoya say this, she was also a little unsure, looking down at the bracelet on her wrist, and she didn't know for a while whether she should continue to insist on what she had just thought.

At this time, a heart-rending cry came not far away, interrupting her thoughts, she swept in the direction where the sound came from, and found that a large group of people had already gathered not far away, she hesitated for a moment, and finally plunged into the crowd, she wanted to know what was going on inside.

When she squeezed in, she found a little girl who looked to be about 14 years old, with disheveled hair and blank eyes, kneeling on the ground like a lifeless puppet, her knees had been worn out of the skin, and a little blood was oozing from them, her hands were tied with a hemp rope, and an older woman in front of her was pulling, still cursing and swearing.

She wanted to go up and ask why she was treating the little girl like this, but as soon as she took a step forward, she was pulled back, and she turned her head to see that a girl who was also in her cardamom years shook her head with an embarrassed face.

"Why?" She was puzzled.

"Because this is her fate, it is impossible to disobey it." The girl retracted her gaze, her eyes were slightly red and she looked at the little girl kneeling on the ground, the two seemed to know each other?

"Life?" She was even more puzzled, she was abused, just save people, why is it related to fate?

Seeing her blank and innocent look, the girl thought about it, maybe she thought of something, so she took her hand and withdrew from the crowd, walked to a corner where there were fewer people, and she spoke again: "You're not a local, are you?" ”

Could it be that she has the words "I'm not a local" written on her face? Otherwise, how could everyone who spoke to her know that she wasn't local? Lin Mojiang is, so is the little girl with pigtails who gave her glutinous rice chicken just now, could it be that they have special abilities?

"Yes, I'm from outside, and I just arrived a few days ago." She didn't bother to hide it, and nodded directly in acknowledgement, but ......

"I want to ask, how did you know that I was an out-of-tlander?" She's really curious.

"Because our locals wouldn't have reacted as much as you would after seeing this." As she spoke, the girl smiled bitterly.

"Why?" She was puzzled again, it was clear that the little girl was suffering, but they turned a blind eye? Is it because of the snow in front of the door? Or is there something else?

The girl's face was a little embarrassed, she looked ahead, and slowly spoke: "Because these things are nothing new in our place for a long time." ”

Not new? Does that mean commonplace? She wanted to know why the other party said this, and the latter continued: "The little girl kneeling on the ground is called Li Sijia, she is 14 years old this year, and her father and mother originally planned to let her and Wang Yicheng in the east of the village marry at the end of next year, and Geng Tie has already exchanged.

But yesterday, Mrs. Liu suddenly came to her house, saying that she pinched her fingers and calculated that she could not marry Wang Yicheng, otherwise she would be a brother and father, and said that she had to be a concubine for Wang Yuanwai, so that she could bring endless wealth to her family. ”

Hearing this, Lin Mujie became angry, and she interjected and asked, "Is that Wang Yuanwai's family very rich?" And a handful of old, fat-headed pig ears? ”

After hearing this, the girl replied, "Yes, in our opinion, a person with such physical conditions is a symbol of a blessed person." ”

Silently rolling her eyes in her heart, Lin Mujie endured the tone in her heart and continued to ask: "Then that girl doesn't agree?" Otherwise, how could she be covered in bruises? ”

"No, she agreed to be a concubine for Wang Yuanwai, but she didn't want to be so fast, she wanted to take it slowly, after all, she was not very old, but Mrs. Liu repeatedly insisted that everything must be completed within this month, otherwise her family would be in a catastrophe, so this happened."

Listening to this, she was angry in her heart, and her tone of voice gradually became impatient: "Why are you so obedient to the matchmaker's words? Don't you have your own ideas? ”

"Because in our case, the matchmaker is the god of marriage, basically whatever she says, we will not object, we will do what she says." The girl's face was innocent, and she didn't understand why she lost her temper when she was so good.

"Matchmakers are also human, why do you have to do what they say?" She doesn't understand, matchmakers are people, and people's words are good and bad, for example, the matchmaker Liu who wanted to trick her into selling last time is a garbage with no humanity and no conscience, why do they still listen to and believe it?

"No, matchmakers are human beings, but they are people worthy of our admiration, because they will not marry for the rest of their lives in order to better listen to the will of God and to make our family affairs smooth and prosperous." The girl corrected her question with a serious face.

"Matchmaker is not married?" Why hadn't she heard her talk about this? She looked at Maoya beside her, who shook her head and said he didn't know either.

"Yes, the matchmaker has sacrificed so much for us, so how can we bear to doubt such a great woman?" As the girl spoke, her eyes revealed reverence for the matchmaker, which made her want to spit.

"No, you call such people great? Isn't that insulting these two words? She wanted to tell her about what had happened to her, but the other person interrupted her.

"You are an outsider, you don't understand, so I don't care about the insult you just made to the matchmaker, but I want to tell you solemnly, Li Sijia's matter has nothing to do with the matchmaker, don't splash dirty water on them." The girl's words made Lin Mujie, who was still angry just now, instantly extinguish the fire, she smiled, and left after a simple goodbye, not speculative for more than half a sentence, she was too lazy to communicate with a paranoid person whose thoughts were not on the same line.

"Maoya, I have decided now, I will conscientiously complete the task given to me by the stinky fox, work hard to improve my cultivation, and most importantly, change the minds of these people." If she wanted to complete the task mainly for self-preservation, then now she really wants to devote herself to this job, she wants to change their minds, she wants to tell them that matchmakers are also people, and there are good people and bad people, and they can't listen to and believe partially.

Although Maoya still couldn't understand her sudden change, he was still very happy to hear her say that she would complete the task seriously, so that the original intentions of the two would not conflict, and they could have a good time together.

"Also, I'll have to give myself a resounding name to distinguish myself from those morally depraved matchmakers, but what's the best name?" She was momentarily confused.

Suddenly, a familiar red appeared in her mind, and in a flash of inspiration, she blurted out: "I'm called Matchmaker." ”

"Matchmaker, what do you think?" When the words fell, she looked at him expectantly, although the name was "stolen" by her, she still wanted to see his approving reaction.

Maoya didn't speak, but he nodded in agreement, and now, her fighting spirit was even higher.
