"I—" The cultivator was just about to speak.

The village chief stood up, touched his stomach and said as he walked towards the door, "I'm full, I'm full, I suddenly remembered that Brother Li next door asked me to go to his place after eating and left." "I slapped him the shoulder as I walked through the monastic path.

After the village chief left, the atmosphere in the whole house was a little delicate because the thin layer of window paper between Xiu Dao and Ling'er was pierced.

"That," Xiu Dao asked as he quickly organized his sentence in his head, his eyes looking at the ceiling, "what do you think of what Uncle just said? Do you agree?" he didn't dare to look at Ling'er.

Ling'er put her hands into fists and hung down on her thighs, looked at the cultivator with a shy face, and said softly, "I listen to you." ”

"Really, Ling'er, you agreed!" Xiu Dao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was afraid that Ling'er would blame him for making his own opinions, but on the other hand, it didn't seem that the person who made his own decisions was not him.

"Hmm. Ling'er nodded slightly.

"Thank you, Ling'er. ”

"Thank me, thank me, thank me?" asked Ling'er with a puzzled wink.

"Thank you for letting me meet you, thank you for letting me know you, thank you for letting me know you, thank you for making me like you, thank you for letting me," Xiu Dao looked at Ling'er, took her little hand from her lap, carefully held it in the palm of his hand, and said seriously. "Fall in love with you. ”

Ling'er felt the temperature in her hand, and looked back at the cultivation with a red face, her eyes shy and joyful. "Me too. ”

Xiu Dao couldn't help but reach out and hug Ling'er into his arms, and kissed her lightly on the forehead, "Ling'er, I know that this matter is too sudden for you today, and you are not ready, but please believe me, everything I say is sincere." ”

Ling'er lay in the arms of the cultivator and raised her head to meet his gentle gaze. "I believe it. ”

Shudo stroked Suzu's silky smooth hair as he sniffed the fragrance emanating from it. "Since we're getting engaged, I'm going to tell you about my family, I know you're curious, but you've never asked. ”

"Because all I care about is you. Suzu's eyes winked mischievously.

Xiu Dao couldn't help but kiss her on the forehead again, "In the eastern part of this continent, there is a lush green bamboo sea, and my home is in the depths of that bamboo sea, I think you will definitely like it after you have been there."

"As long as I'm with you, I like it wherever I go, hehe~"

"Me too," Xiu Dao replied with a smile, and then continued, "Ling'er, do you know? ”

"How famous is it?" interrupted Ling'er curiously.

"From the princes and nobles to the common people, almost everyone knows about it. The monk said with a little pride.

"So powerful?" Ling'er exclaimed, and then asked, "Then is your family noble? I used to hear my father say that nobles are very famous. ”

"No, there is a rule in our family motto that no member of the family can accept the title of nobleman. The monk shook his head in denial.

"Isn't it a nobleman? What does your family do? Are you in business? I heard my father say that there are many famous businessmen. ”

"Not at all. Xiu Dao looked at Ling'er and smiled mysteriously.

"Don't let me get drunk. Ling'er looked at the monk's expression and lightly hammered him in the chest. "Nasty~"

"Haha~" Xiudao kissed Ling'er's forehead again, "Say 'yes' because our family does buy and sell, and say 'no' because the things our family buys and sells are more special, it is neither goods nor services, but 'news'." ”

"Hmm, can this be bought and sold?, how?" asked Ling'er curiously.

"Of course, no matter what it is, no matter who it is, you can only complete the deal if you can afford the same remuneration as the news. ”

"Anything?" asked Ling'er, with her mouth wide open and surprised.

"As long as you can afford to pay the honorarium. The monk smiled strangely.

"Will anyone really come and buy the news?"

"It's endless!"

"It's strange that people outside are so concerned about things that aren't their own family?"

Ling'er's peeling appearance made Xiudao couldn't help but kiss her on the forehead again, "It's really strange, haha~"

"Listen to you say this, then your family should be regarded as a noble family outside, I heard my father say that those outside the noble family, marriage affairs are not controlled by themselves, will your parents also want you to find a good family? Will they not like me?" Ling'er suddenly thought of this question, and looked at the cultivator with some worry, and her eyebrows wrinkled slightly.

Through such a long period of contact, Xiudao knew that Ling'er only had a small habit of frowning when she was nervous and worried, and every time she saw Ling'er like this, Xiudao would reach out and rub it for her, just like that night by the stream in the mountains. This time it was no exception, the cultivator gently pressed between her eyebrows, leaned into her ear and whispered, "Don't worry, our family doesn't have this rule, my parents are also very open-minded, and our bell is so beautiful and beautiful, and so well-behaved and sensible, they will definitely like you." ”

"Really?"

"Really, when we're engaged here, you and I will find out when we get home. "The monastic path promises.

"Hmph~Who wants to go home with you~" Ling'er pulled away the cultivator's hand and said mischievously.

"You~" Xiudao leaned over and kissed Ling'er on the mouth, but Ling'er didn't resist, but silently closed her eyes.

...

The next day, the news that Shudo and Ling'er would be engaged in a month later spread throughout the village, thanks to Ling'er's father, the head of Sigre Village. There was also a small episode in which all the young men in their 20s in the village collectively lost sleep after hearing the news, but fortunately, everyone was young and quickly came out.

The engagement of the daughter of the village chief's family is also a first-class event in the village, plus there has been no happy event in the village for several years, this time everyone is very concerned, and the whole village is busy, but the two parties Xiudao and Ling'er have become idlers, and they are tired of being together all day long.

Everything went well, and the engagement took place a month later as scheduled. The engagement ceremony was carried out in accordance with the tradition of the village of Higri, and the two stood between heaven and earth and were officially engaged in the presence of the whole village and the village head. After getting engaged, Shudo and Ling'er stayed in the village for a few more days, but the day of parting finally came.

On the day when Xiudao and Ling'er went down the mountain, the village chief and the villagers came, Ling'er looked at the place where she had lived for more than 20 years, and her tears couldn't stop falling. The village chief has been standing outside the village and looking at Ling'er, even if he is no longer visible, he is still standing there, and his tears are falling uncontrollably.

A year and a half later, Xiudao and Ling'er came back with a baby girl who was still in swaddling clothes, and in this year and a half, the two of them had officially married, and the baby girl was their first child, with a single name "lotus". Seeing Ling'er coming back, still holding a baby girl in his hand, the village chief called a Le, and took the baby girl from Ling'er's hand and teased and kissed. The baby girl is not afraid of giving birth, and from time to time she has to make a "giggle" laugh.
