Looking at the formation of the clansmen...... The woman knew that what she was most afraid of had happened after all, looking at the mud on her body, smelling the stench, thinking about what might happen, fear and grievance were intertwined in her heart, tears couldn't stop flowing, and she looked at the patriarch and said in a trembling voice: "What's wrong?"

The strong man looked at her angrily and roared, "You put a foreigner man in the house, and you dare to ask us what's wrong? ”

The woman bowed her head in silence, panicked and did not know what to say, although she wanted to justify that nothing had happened between herself and the foreign man, but she knew that the people could not believe it, and more importantly, she knew very well that she did not abide by the woman's morals, and did want something to happen with the foreign man.

The patriarch coughed lightly twice, stopped the villagers from smashing around, walked up to the woman, looked at her slightly bowed head, glanced at her plump breasts, sighed and said, "Frost, although you are a ...... Yuelun people, but after you marry into our village, we can treat you badly?"

The woman lowered her head and said in a trembling voice: "All these years are all thanks to the care of the fourth master and the clansmen. ”

The patriarch's face suddenly turned cold, and he said: "After Brother Cheng died, I made the decision to let you remarry, but you refused to marry, saying that you wanted to keep the festival for Brother Cheng, then we will follow you, but what are you now?"

When the woman heard this, she raised her head and glanced at the Zhuang sigh from before, and thought sadly, Patriarch, you want me to remarry your son, how can this work? At this time, Tao walked out of the house towards Xiaoshu.

When the villagers saw that the foreigner man did not run away, but dared to appear in front of him, they suddenly became even more angry, and brandished a hoe in their hands, and prepared to come forward and beat him to death.

The patriarch stopped everyone very strangely.

Chao Xiaoshu had been listening to the center for a while, and looking at the situation in the field, he knew what was happening. When he was in Chang'an, he knew that the old customs and traditions of the people of Dahe, especially the extremely low status of women in the countryside and towns, but he did not expect to cause such a turmoil.

He walked over to the patriarch and explained a few words sincerely.

The patriarch shook his head expressionlessly, and said, "This matter involves the reputation of my clan, how can I let such a shameless woman go at will?"

Chao Xiaoshu said calmly: "If I really have an affair with her, the patriarch will also punish me." ”

The patriarch looked at him and was silent for a moment before saying, "I know that you are from the Tang Dynasty, so as long as you apologize and compensate the society, and leave a sum of silver as compensation, you can leave." ”

Glancing at the little tree, he looked at the woman who was riding and asked, "Then what are you going to do with her?"

Before the patriarch could speak, the strong man said viciously: "Dip the pig cage!"

The word dipping in the pig cage seemed to have a strange temptation for these villagers, and suddenly the shouts resounded through the small courtyard, shouting that they wanted to dip the woman in the pig cage and finally take off their clothes and beat the board first.

Looking around at Xiaoshu, looking at the greedy look in the eyes of those men, looking at their distorted faces because of excitement, he said softly: "These people seem to be killed." ”

The small courtyard under the big grid tree suddenly fell silent.

The clansmen seemed to feel that they had heard something, but they didn't believe what they had heard, and the patriarch's face suddenly gloomy, and he looked at Chao Xiaoshu and was about to say something.

However, before he could speak, he turned to Xiaoshu and looked at the woman and asked gently, "Do you think you can kill these people?"

The woman's body stiffened slightly, and it took a moment for her to come to her senses.

She was already desperate, but at this time, looking at Chao Xiaoshu's gentle expression, she felt as if hope was returning to her body.

She looked at those cautious-faced clansmen, her body suddenly trembled violently, and she cried and said: "I'm not from this village, I'm from the forest of the Moon Wheel Country, I was sold here by human traffickers, my husband is dead, they want me to marry the patriarch's son, I don't want to marry, I don't want to ......"

She had never said these words to outsiders, because there were no outsiders in this isolated and remote village, and no one believed her words, and even if they did, no one dared to sympathize with her.

So she wants to know the story of the outside world, and wants to have a story with the outside world.

At this time, she finally shouted these words, because she wanted to live.

"Just kill it. ”

Chao Xiaoshu looked at the people in the courtyard and asked, "Which ones were killed?"

The woman pointed to the white-haired patriarch and the strong man, and said in a trembling voice, "This father and son deserve to die the most." ”

He took two steps towards the small tree towards the waves.

The tribesmen in the courtyard raised their hoes and iron forks in their hands and wanted to hit him.

The fence was trampled on by these people.

Pick up a piece of bamboo towards the tree.

Then he swung twice.

The head of the patriarch and the head of the strong man flew.

The tribesmen watched this scene in amazement, their faces suddenly turned pale, and I don't know who shouted, and everyone fled in all directions like crazy, and no one cared about the two corpses that fell on the fence wall.

"Murder!"

"Hurry up and report to the officer!"

The cries of terror and despair rang out in the village, startling the fish in the pond, disturbing the birds in the trees, and tearing apart the peace and regularity that had lasted for a thousand years.

The headless body of the patriarch lay in a simple courtyard.

The woman's face was pale, and her body trembled slightly, but the light in her eyes was brighter than it had been for more than ten years.

Chao Xiaoshu looked at her and asked, "Do you still have nostalgia for this village and this courtyard?"

The woman shook her head and muttered, "How could there be?" ”

He said to Xiaoshu, "Then let me go." The woman looked into his eyes in surprise, her eyes full of surprise, and said nervously, "Okay." ”

She was nervous, so she didn't ask him where she was going to go with him, and she was willing to follow him wherever he could get out of the village.

However, this time...... Chao Xiaoshu suddenly fell silent, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and he seemed to be a little hesitant, and some words should not be said at this time.

The woman's body stiffened slightly, and after a moment of silence, she said bitterly: "Yes, I am a shameless and unruly woman, where can I bring it home? ”

Chao Xiaoshu looked at her and said, "I will only give one kind of woman silver." ”

The woman's face turned pale and she said, "I see...... It's a pity that although I am a widow who does not abide by women's morals, I want to give you my body, but I am unwilling to earn your money by relying on my body. ”

Chao Xiaoshu quietly looked into her eyes and said gently, "You misunderstood...... I mean, I'm only going to give it to my wife, but I don't know if you're willing to take it. ”

The woman was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses.

She rubbed her eyes and wanted to cry, but felt a little ashamed.

Chao Xiaoshu looked at her and smiled, went into the house to pick up her luggage, and then walked into the small courtyard and looked at the woman who was still in a daze...... said, "Let's go." ”

The woman took the bag from his hand.

The two left.

Ning Que has been thinking about three things.

The first thing is why the ascetic Dao Shi was able to find himself accurately in Chang'an City, and whether there was anyone behind this matter. The second thing is that if the Sword Pavilion provokes the academy and the sword of Chao Xiaoshu is taken away, there is the shadow of the Divine Temple's adjudication division...... So Chaoxiao, where will the tree be if it is not in the Sword Pavilion?The third thing is how to reply to the request of the Xiling Temple to take Sang Sang away.

The latter two things are related to the Xiling Temple, thinking about Cheng Lixue's attitude towards the Ruling Division, he feels that he should still go to the South Gate to watch, at least he can inquire about some things.

The Great Priest of the Heavenly Oracle is now staying in the South Gate Temple, and wants to negotiate with a big man of this status...... First of all, of course, it is necessary to unify the opinions of the other side, so that they can be pointed at as a fist.

"Girls always have some ideals in life, you look at the Taoist idiot, her ideal is very simple, that is, she wants to go to the end on the long path of cultivation, you look at Situ Yilan, she wants to become the most amazing female general in the history of the Tang Dynasty, and even Tang Xiaotang's little child wants to become the most powerful woman in the world......"

Ning Que stood behind Sang Sang and looked at it with broken thoughts, Sang Sang squatted by the well, concentrating on the little yellow croaker, he didn't like to deal with him at all, and he didn't want to discuss this matter with him.

"Only with ideals can there be pursuits, and there is the pursuit of life to be fulfilling, and women without ideals will eventually become godless fish eyes and a salted fish that cannot be turned over. ”

Ning Que looked at her thin back, sighed and said: "I am naturally reluctant to let you leave, but since you have the ability, it is too much pity to spend it in firewood, rice, oil and salt every day, I am afraid that when you are old in the future, I will be afraid of the current choice." ”

Sang Sang put the fish in the bamboo basket, washed his hands with the cool well water, turned to look at him and said, "I have thought about this matter carefully, but I still don't want to go to Xiling." ”

Ning Que asked, "Why?"

Sang Sang said very seriously: "It's still the same old question, who will cook for you and wash your feet after I leave?"

Ning Que said: "This is indeed a troublesome problem, it is easy to find a few more maid rings, the problem is that without you, I always can't sleep comfortably." ”

After a while, he shook his head and said with emotion: "But it is impossible to let the Xiling Temple have no bright priest from now on because no one cooks, cooks, washes feet, and does not sleep well. ”

That night, the master and servant had a very deep conversation on the matter, and until late at night they came to a preliminary conclusion, and fell asleep wearily.

Early the next morning, Ning Que and Sang Sang finished freshening up, finished breakfast, and were about to go to the south gate to visit the great priest of heaven, when they suddenly heard the faint sound of ritual music in the distance outside the shop.

The peaceful sound of the music gradually approached the 47th lane from a distance, and everywhere the sound could reach, there was first a noisy discussion and shouting, and then absolute calm.

Ning Que was a little surprised, pushed open the door of Lao Bizhai's shop and looked at the alley, only to see that the flowers were swaying all over the sky, the music was soft, and a god was slowly coming under the solemn guard of honor.

The Celestial Oracle is here.
