Chapter 270 The vicious female partner escapes to farm (20) (an extra update with a spotless heart~)
We set off before dawn on the first day of the second day, and it was close to noon when we arrived at Ping'ao Village.
Xu Yin was glad that she was strong, so she put a [Xiaoyao Insole] produced by the system on the bottom of her shoes. It has the same purpose as the [Xiaoyao Seat Cushion], so she can walk long distances without getting tired or hurting her feet.
Erlang and Sanmei felt that the bumps on the cart hurt their buttocks, so after entering the village, they preferred to get off and walk.
The head of Ping'ao Village heard that the benefactor who had saved his grandson was visiting, and he hurriedly came out to greet him.
Xu Yin was afraid of their warm welcome, so she put down her things and said she was leaving.
"My benefactor is going to Orion Village? Orion Village is deep in the mountains. You should hurry there now. I'm afraid it will be dark when you reach the foot of the mountain. It's difficult to walk in the mountains at night. You might as well stay at my house for the night and let me go to bed early tomorrow morning. My son will go with you! It’s good to have someone to look after you when you’re traveling together.”
Xu Yin said in surprise: "Orion Village is in the mountains?"
She thought it was at the foot of the mountain.
“No! They live on the mountains and hunt all year round. Naturally, it is more convenient to live in the mountains.”
“What should I do with food if there is no land?”
The head of the village stroked his beard and laughed and said: "I heard that some mountainous areas have been opened to grow grain. If there is not enough food, they will bring some game to our village to exchange for grain, or go to the town to sell it on market day to exchange for grain. I can always live a good life." Go down."
As he spoke, the chief asked Xu Yin to take a seat. He also politely served tea and prepared refreshments.
The village chief's wife and her daughter-in-law killed chickens and cut meat, and happily prepared a table for the benefactor.
Xu Yin was really embarrassed, so before leaving the next morning, she secretly left a few grains of silver under the pillow in the guest room.
The daughter-in-law who came in to clean up the room found out and quickly told her mother-in-law.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li Chang ran out and chased her. However, the son of the Li Zhang was fast on his feet, and even Xu Yin unknowingly increased his speed, so she could not be seen anywhere.
"My benefactor is not only righteous, but also of noble character. I wonder if he has a family."
The village chief's wife and the village chief were chatting, wondering if there was a girl of the right age in her natal family, and she wanted to find a matchmaker.
Not only the wife of the village chief had this idea, but also the wife of the county magistrate also mentioned it.
“Sir, what do you think of Xu Yingxiong’s future?”
"Huh? He's a promising man." The county magistrate, not knowing what his wife was planning, said, "He's brave and resourceful, and has both intelligence and bravery. If he hadn't taken the scientific examination, he would definitely have become one of the best among men. I heard that he also has a son. The eldest brother fought at the border, took many enemy heads, and was promoted to the top. His family will soon be able to move from farming to officialdom!"
The county magistrate's wife became even more satisfied after hearing what he said: "Master, I want to betroth my eldest niece to him. What do you think?"
The county magistrate twitched his lips: "Is your sister-in-law willing? Although there is hope that she will leave the farm and join the government, she is not an official at all. Your sister-in-law has always wanted her eldest niece to marry a high-ranking family."
"Hmph! What does she know! How can a high-ranking family be so easy to marry? When Hou Men is as deep as the sea, it is Xu Yingxiong. I think this young man is worthy of a woman's entrustment for life. He saves people righteously and does not ask for anything in return. Don't you? Did you also say that he is also very handsome?"
"That's true!" The county magistrate touched his beard and couldn't help but laugh, "If you change into the girl's clothes, don't say anything, and wherever you stand, she may be a bit more beautiful than your eldest niece."
"So handsome?" The county magistrate's wife clapped her hands happily, "Then we have to decide on the marriage as early as possible. No! I can't wait until tomorrow. After dinner, I will go back to my parents' house to discuss it with my eldest brother!"
Xu Yin didn’t know that she was being cared about by the two families. She sneezed twice in a row. Worried about catching a cold, she fed herself a health pill by drinking water.
The Li Chang was right. It took three hours to walk from Ping'ao Village to the foot of the mountain where Orion Village is located, which translates into six hours, and we haven't even climbed the mountain yet!
I heard from the eldest son of the village that we had to climb over this mountain to reach Orion Village.
Xu Yin: “…”
Thinking about the game, mountain products, and furs that the three of them carried in baskets that day, I can’t help but admire their sincerity.
The mountain road is narrow and the cart cannot push it.
Xu Yin put the basket containing the gifts on her back, picked up the third sister, and asked Erlang, "Can Erlang crawl?"
It’s not that she can’t hold the two children, but some mountain roads are steep and she needs to use her hands to lend strength.
Erlang answered readily: "I can do it!"
"I ran like this at home, and I wasn't tired at all." The eldest son laughed and said, "You are talking about Chaishan Mountain, right? The mountains here are not as short as Chaishan Mountain."
Erlang didn’t believe it.
He only defeated a few Huzi in the past two days and became the fastest climber among all the children. For this reason, he also received a bird egg as a reward from Brother Fengnian.
Erlang, who did not believe in evil, rushed forward with all his strength and stopped halfway.
“This mountain is so high!”
The end can’t be seen at a glance.
The eldest son of the village carried him for a while.
Xu Yin was extremely glad that he came with her, otherwise she would probably have given up.
After Erlang rested enough, he consciously got down and walked on his own.
We walked and rested like this. When we crossed the mountain and reached Orion Village, it was already dark.
Xu Yin: “…”
Hitchhiking has never felt so time-consuming.
The entire Orion Village knew that Xu Yin had saved the children of two families. When they learned that she was coming, they all came out to see her.
“Wow! Not only is this young man kind-hearted and good at skills, he is also so handsome!”
“Young man, do you have a wife?”
“Yes, yes, yes! Many girls in our village are old enough to propose marriage. Do you have any conditions for your marriage? We care about it for you.”
The people in the mountains are more heroic, and the older ladies, unlike those thin-skinned young wives, asked Xu Yin straightforwardly without beating around the bush.
I was so happy to see such a fair and handsome young boy with good kung fu.
So what about those who fled here, as long as their personal conditions are good. A girl from Orion Village who comes from a very good background can't afford it.
It would be even better if you could keep someone in the village as your son-in-law. Therefore, Xu Yin was so enthusiastic that it was difficult to resist.
Xu Yin: “…”
Is it too late to back off now?
Even though she is a fake man, surrounded by a lot of ladies, who are all vying to say that they want to help her build a magpie bridge, her cheeks can't help but feel hot.
help-
She winked at Erlang desperately.
Uncrowned Best Actor, what are you waiting for! Hurry up and save your sister-in-law!
Erlang was really dumbfounded.
He has seen government servants who are brothers to his sister-in-law, and he has also seen county magistrates who want to recruit his sister-in-law to work in the county government, but he has never seen village women vying to be matchmakers for his sister-in-law.
The person being introduced is not a man, but a woman!
oh-
His smart little head can’t turn around!
In the end, thanks to those two families, they said they wanted to treat their benefactor to dinner and took Xu Yin home, which relieved her embarrassment.
The two families were not far apart and were relatives. On that day, the two children's aunt He Lanhua took them to the Confucius Temple to offer incense. They were not detained for a while, and the children were coaxed away by the salesman with sweets.
“My benefactor, it’s all thanks to you! Otherwise I would never be able to let it go in my life.”
He Lanhua, who had blamed herself for several days and almost committed suicide by hanging from a beam, knelt down and kowtowed to Xu Yin three times before Xu Yin could react.
