Chapter 104: Forced Marriage
The days of treatment were a bit boring and long, and Li Shishui's limbs could finally move slightly on their own, but they still couldn't get out of bed.
When Li Shishui was trying to see if he could move his finger joints, he heard the sound of Cai Xia and Bei Rao talking in the courtyard, and Cai Xia's voice was still a little loud, as if they were arguing. Li Shishui hurriedly listened carefully.
It turned out that it was the village chief who was talking to Cai Xia. I only heard Caixia say: "Village chief, I won't agree to this marriage." ”
"The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker. The marriage of children has always been decided by the parents. Now that your parents and Master are long gone, and you have no other relatives here, as the head of this village, you are naturally obliged to do your life's work for you. Why is it not good that the marriage I chose for you is not good, and you don't agree?" said the village chief.
Cai Xia was silent for a moment, and then said: "If Cai Xia meets someone she likes, she will definitely ask the village chief to be this big matchmaker." As for now, I will not marry your son. ”
"What's wrong with my son Tiger Head?" the village chief said a little angrily, "I know that many people secretly have Tiger Head idle and don't do their job. But don't look at them on the surface, in fact, many have hinted to me that they are willing to marry their daughters to Tiger Head. If it weren't for the tiger head who has always liked you, I wouldn't be able to resist him, maybe I would have hugged my grandson by now. ”
"Cai Xia can't afford to climb high, so I asked the village chief to choose a sister or sister from a better family to marry. Cai Xia excused herself.
"That's not what I meant. Who let himself have such a son, the village chief sighed in his heart, and continued: "Tiger Head, he has always only wanted to marry you. Although Hutou has never done anything, Hutou is my son, and he will inherit my position and become the village chief in the future. As long as he can manage this village well, he is bold and careful, and I believe he will be able to do it. And Cai Xia, you are the only doctor in our village, it would be better if you were by your side to assist him. ”
"The village chief is in love, Cai Xia may not be able to do it. Cai Xia refused.
The village chief saw that he had persuaded so much, but Cai Xia still disagreed. Combined with the events of the year, he couldn't help but say: "You don't plan to leave Yinxia Village and not come back, right? ”
Cai Xia was stunned for a moment and said, "When will I leave Yinxia Village?"
"What happened back then......" As soon as the village chief said, Caixia's face changed. The village chief hesitated for a moment, but still said: "When the divine doctor was leaving, he handed over the golden needle secret technique to you, and asked you to help him do something after learning the golden needle secret technique." Several people were present at the time, and they all heard these words. Although the last thing to be done is only for you, since the doctor is from outside, the thing you want to do must also be outside. ”
The village chief saw that Cai Xia did not refute, and said more convinced: "Now that you are already learning the secret technique of the golden needle, aren't you about to leave?"
"Although I am currently learning the secret art of the golden needle, it is not possible to learn it in a while. Cai Xia replied. Then he thought about it for a moment and said, "Although Master did ask me to do something back then, we didn't know anything about the outside world here, so Master didn't fully understand me at that time. And the master also has to do this matter, and after encountering it, it will be dealt with according to the specific situation, so ......"
"So you still have to leave Yinxia Village. We finally got out of Yinxia Village with you a doctor, for the sake of Yinxia Village, even if you and I are selfish, I will never let you leave and not come back. "The village chief cut the railroad.
"Village chief, you misunderstood, I didn't leave and didn't come back. Cai Xia hurriedly explained: "Yinxia Village is my root, here is my home, and the villagers are also my relatives, even if I leave to complete the things assigned by the master, I will definitely come back after the aftermath." ”
"Moreover, the Golden Needle Secret Technique is not so easy to learn, and I don't know how long it will take for me to fully learn how long it will take, so the village chief doesn't have to worry about this at all now. I don't agree to this marriage, it's just that I don't want to marry the tiger head. Cai Xia could only make her words clear.
Unexpectedly looked down on his son, the village chief couldn't help but say: "You don't want to marry the tiger head, do you still want to marry the lame pillar?"
Cai Xia was also a little angry after hearing this, and said: "I have always regarded Brother Zhuzi as my own brother, of course I will not marry him." And you are not allowed to be such a pillar brother, how is Brother Zhuzi's leg lame, can the village chief not know? After I learn the secret of the golden needle, I will definitely be able to heal Brother Zhuzi's leg. ”
The village chief was really angry, and he shouldn't have said that. But when she heard that Caixia only regarded Zhuzi as her own brother and would not marry him, she continued: "If you don't marry Zhuzi, who else do you want to marry? Which one else in the village is as good as my son, and which one is more suitable than my son? Since you will always go out in the future, then in order to ensure that you will definitely come back, you must first marry someone from the village, so that I can rest assured." Even the rest of the people in the village would definitely think the same way. ”
"I don't want to marry anyone, and I won't marry now. "Although Cai Xia is young, she has seen many patients and experienced a lot of things. And for some reasons, Cai Xia doesn't care too much about the authority and momentum of the village chief. The village chief was so aggressive, not only did not let her compromise, but aroused a little arrogance in her.
I only heard Caixia continue: "Even if the whole village forces me to marry, I won't marry if I don't want to marry." But everyone is my relatives, Caixia's parents died early, and it has always been my uncles and uncles who raised me. Everyone will not forget my kindness, and they dare not forget. But I can't help but do what I promised Master, and if everyone really doesn't believe that I will come back, I will definitely think of a safe way to get everyone to agree. ”
Now that the words have come to this, it is obvious that Cai Xia will definitely not agree to her marriage with Hutou tonight. But now in the village, in addition to the pillars, his son Tiger Head is the most suitable. The pillar leg is lame, so he won't be chosen. Take your time, and there will always be a turnaround. So the village chief didn't stay long, and left angrily.
Cai Xia was depressed for a while, and originally wanted to pick up the golden needle secret technique and continue to watch, but now she was not in the mood, so she just watched it for a while and put it down again.
Cai Xia removed her veil, revealing the scar on her face. Cai Xia touched the scar on her face with her hand, and couldn't help but be even more depressed.
She thought that after she had a scar on her face, she would not have these troubles. But she didn't expect the village chief's son to usually pester her, but now he asked his father to come over and force marriage.
Could it be that they have forgotten that they are disfigured, or that the scars on their faces are not scary enough?
Cai Xia went into the house and looked in the mirror, it did look like a birthmark, but the birthmark was on the face, why didn't it look good?
Yes. I've been wearing the veil for too long, and everyone in the village must have forgotten about this scar, right?
Do you want to stop wearing a veil, so that when the village chief's son sees her again, he may not need her to chase him again, and he will be scared away.
However, the thought of exposing such an ugly scar in front of Rao made Cai Xia feel uncomfortable. There is no girl who doesn't like to be beautiful, and she is no exception, although she knows that this scar can't be removed now, but she doesn't want it to be shown in front of people.
Cai Xia sighed in her heart and put the veil around again. Since I have clearly refused, how can I stop for a while, and take advantage of this time to think about what to do.
She didn't quite understand what Master asked her to do, so when she learned the secret technique of the golden needle and went out to complete the things that Master had assigned, she really didn't necessarily know when she would be able to complete it and when she would be able to come back.
If I leave, there is no doctor in the village, what if someone gets sick again?
Do you want to teach a few apprentices?
Cai Xia herself didn't expect to meet Li Shishui by chance, so that she met the requirements for learning the secret art of golden needles. Although she doesn't know how long it will take, when she learns, she will definitely finish what Master has told her.
No matter how old Cai Xia is, she has never thought of accepting apprentices before, after all, she thought that she would stay in Yinxia Village for a long time, and she might not even go out for the rest of her life.
But now is the time to think.
