Jiangshan is a matchmaker: Husband, please stay

Chapter 44
It was evening three days after Su Jiu returned to the countryside, and the carriage that brought her back stopped at the foot of the mountain.

The weeping willows on both sides of the mountain road stand hugging their shoulders, the water under the arch bridge is gurgling and running, and the evening wind in midsummer is like fluff, which makes people cool all over.

Looking up at the clear and green willows all over the mountains and plains, the smoke is curling up everywhere, and the wind of willows blows the kind soil slowly, and the moment it hits the tip of the nose, the spirit is refreshed, and the fatigue of the whole body is instantly eliminated.

She raised her neck and took a deep breath of the fresh and clean air, "It's so good!" It feels so good to be home.

The carriage turned around and ran towards the downhill mountain road, and disappeared at the end of the road without much effort.

She shook off the tiredness on her body, lifted the corner of her skirt, and walked up the moss-covered stone steps, one section after another, each section was full of memories and joy.The winding path is quiet and deep, and the winding path flows into every part of the Ranger Mountain Village like a blood vessel.

At this time, Youxia Mountain Village is full of flowers and reds, red peaches and white plums are dotted under the lush branches, and the green and green bamboos straighten their backs and soar into the sky.Hundreds of birds compete for favor, singing for joy.

Su Jiu climbed halfway up the mountain in one breath, and she saw the fig tree in front of her house from a distance, still standing tall and towering.

Through the clear morning light, she saw the toddling figure of her mother moving slowly from the house, holding the freshly filled fragrant soup in her hand.Old man Su's drunken chatter came from the table in the courtyard, his cheeks were already flushed, and the jug was half empty.The figure of Xiao Shan was in the corner, bending over to clean the baskets on the basket rack, still holding the scroll he never left his hands.

"Daddy, mother, Xiaoshan!"

Mu Ran, her eyes were wet with tears, she started to run, and vigorously pushed open the courtyard door which was still covered by her crooked body, "Daddy, Xiao Shan, I'm back."

Su Xiaoshan turned around abruptly, with his mouth half-opened, and the movements of his hands stopped. It took him a long time to come back to his senses, and he turned and ran towards her, "Sister... Sister..." Throwing away the tools in his hand, scroll, "Sister?"

The old man Su raised his head, opened his drunken eyes, just looked at Su Jiu who came in at the door, but sat there without moving, maybe he was too surprised, maybe he was already drunk and couldn't tell whether the person in front of him was drunk or not. To be honest, it took him a while to swallow the vegetables in his mouth, and he stood up staggeringly, "Xiaojiu!"

"Xiao Shan, Daddy!"

The old man Su wiped away the tears on his face, limped up to Su Jiu, looked him up and down, and stood there in a daze, "Girl!"

"Daddy, it's me, it's me."

After confirming that it was Su Jiu, the old man's expression changed. He bent down and took out his shoes, and raised his hand to beat Su Jiu, "Damn girl, where did you die, let us worry, you damn girl! Do you still know when you come back, dead girl, did you go to sleep with someone, and you sent so much money over here, dead girl, see if I don’t beat you to death, beat you to death, know how to come back, beat you to death..."

"Ah, Dad, it hurts, Dad...don't hit me."

The people in Youxia Mountain Village were carrying hoes up the mountain to cut firewood and plant the land. They suddenly turned back and were attracted by old man Su's scolding.

It didn't take long for the meeting to gather a lot of people outside the door of Su's house, and the leaky door panel couldn't stop the old and small of the Ranger Mountain Village who wanted to see what happened.

Tall and short, fat and thin.

Old man Su's cursing and Su Jiu's shouting came from inside, and there were occasional pauses, but it was old man Su's roar and low shout, mixed with Su Xiaoshan's crying and shouting and the collision of throwing things.

The wild dogs outside also sang songs that people don't understand, and the barking of the dogs continued to the whole mountain.

For a time, high and low, low and high, and the birds chirping in the mountains formed an up and down movement.

People were pointing and pointing inside, discussing and discussing with embellishments.

"Really, I thought I saw a lady from some family. It turned out that Su Jiu from their family really came back. When I came back at night, I saw a carriage parked at the entrance of the village, tsk tsk! I heard that, She was sent back, this girl was sent back after being ruined, how will she marry in the future?"

"Really? Didn't it mean that Su Jiu was sold to a high-ranking official in the imperial city, so what's the matter when he comes back?"

"Tsk tsk! What a crime, how can Su Jiu get married like this?"

"Married? Those whose identities are unknown are sent back. Maybe they are already unclean. Who dares to take them!"

"Did you send it back or did you come back by yourself? It's hard to stay in the imperial city!"

"Hey, what a good girl, old man Su's family has suffered a lot."

"What's wrong, do you still remember those boxes placed in the yard at that time, I heard that they were all silver, I didn't look at them, the silver is enough for old man Su to drink good wine for decades. Hehe, what a loss Already!"

"Yes, it's no wonder that old man Su doesn't remember to work in the field recently. The grass in the field has grown as tall as a person."

"You know what, now that you have money, who still does farm work, tsk tsk, Su Jiu still has some skills."

"Hey! I said that the Li family belongs to you and you have a lot of news."

"Hey...why is it you again? You were the one who talked too much last time, and this time you talk too much."

"Okay, okay, let's not meddle in other people's family affairs, if you want to scold me again, go home, everyone go home."

"Huh, huh!"

"Humph!"

"Hey, forget it, what are you looking at, let's go, go to work, there can't be pies in the sky, and you can't grow gold in the ground if you look at others. Let's go, let's go, let's all go! The land is still there There are a lot of weeds that haven’t been shoveled, and my baby hasn’t eaten yet, so go home and cook.”

"That's right, it's all gone, gone..."

It seems that there is not much energy to watch, and the cat's head is more tiring than the farm work in the field. People whispered for a while, and gradually dispersed.

Su Jiu's body was still in hot pain, the old man Su stood outside the door and yelled, Xiao Shan leaned against the edge of the window, tilting his head to look at the somewhat different Su Jiu in front of him.

"Sister, does it hurt?"

"Xiaoshan, my sister is in pain."

"Sister, why don't I take you to escape? Daddy is very angry. I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep today. Let's escape. I still have the silver that Daddy gave me, and I can't spend it all."

"Hey, Xiaoshan, where can I escape? Forget it, you block the door for me, and don't ask dad to come in. Where's mother?"

"Mother is also afraid of being beaten, she's in the backyard, how about I find it for you." Xiao Shan looked in through the crack of the door, seeing Su Jiu's face was red and swollen, he felt very distressed.

"Sister, where have you been all this time? I heard from my father that a high-ranking official gave us a lot of money, but I didn't confiscate it. Later, I beat them away with a shoulder pole, but the money still came. Dad recently I don’t go to the ground anymore, but the figs are still reserved for you. They are all soaked in wine. In fact, Dad still loves you. Sister, did you find me a rich brother-in-law? Then why didn’t my brother-in-law come with you? come back?"

"Go, don't talk nonsense, who told you that I found you a brother-in-law? No wonder so many people in the village are talking everywhere, whoever spread this matter, I will wring his head off later."

"Hey, sister, I'm afraid it won't work, it's what dad said."

"what?"

Tiger poison doesn't even eat its children, old man Su is trying to kill her?
"Hey, it's my tragedy to be born in this family. Forget it, go get me a basin of water. I'll wash up and go to bed."

"Sister, you haven't told me why you went there. I searched for you that day for a long time but didn't find anyone. Later, when I came back, my father said I lost it, so I didn't worry about it. But my father asked you People went to the city to look for it for several days but didn't believe it, who knows that in a few days, someone will come to give money, hehe... Sister, you must have run away with some son."

"Damn child, you're still talking nonsense. I'll tell you what's going on later. Get me some water. I'll apply cold water to it, but it hurts me to death. Dad, is this the rhythm of beating me to death?!"

"Hey, sister, then I'll fetch water for you. You have to guard the door. I won't be able to stop Dad from coming in with his shoes."

"Go, go, you're the one who talks the most nonsense."

"Hey..." Su Xiaoshan made a face at Su Jiu, turned around and ran away.

Su Jiu covered the door with all her strength, without leaving even the last gap. She leaned against the door and squatted on the ground. She sighed and took a hiss of cold air. It really hurt people to death.

"Hey..." Su Jiu sighed, and looked up at the cloak that was exposed outside the package. Nie Wuhuan's concerned face popped up in his mind, and his heart felt warm.

At this moment, someone pushed the door lightly, and it was Xiao Shan who came with water, "Sister, I'll give you water, and I also brought some ointment to wipe it on for you."

"Oh, let it go, I will come by myself later."

"Sister, are you still afraid that I will fail you? Hurry up! I'm going to the city soon."

"What are you doing going into the city in the middle of the night?" Su Jiu got up, opened the wooden door, and looked at Su Xiaoshan standing there with the package on his back.

"The gentleman in the city said that he wanted me to go to school and bring back some books. The husband said that the recent rural exam was more difficult, and told me to read more books from other people."

"It's a good thing, why don't you go during the day, it's not safe at night." Su Jiu pulled down his collar, exposing his fair neck, and motioned for Xiao Shan to touch the ointment.

Xiao Shan didn't care, anyway, it was his own sister who had been rubbed in his arms since he was a child, rubbed the ointment on her neck with rough hands, and said, "If you travel at night, you can come back in the daytime. I don’t want to waste time, the next provincial examination is coming, I want to try it.”

"The rural exam is no better than the rush exam in the imperial city. Is it useful to take the exam?"

"The township test is just conducted in the township. Although it is not very useful, it can still make you famous if you pass it. I was told that I am very talented since I was a child, but I have never competed with anyone. I want to see how good I am. Hehe... Sis, is that brother-in-law a senior official?"

"Go, dear boy. Well, are you going by yourself? Is there a coachman?"

"It's just a short walk away. What kind of car do you want? Sister, I have money. I'll buy you whatever you want."

"Hmm!" Su Jiu gritted his teeth in pain, and shook his head, "No, I don't need anything, oh, I'll go with you! Find someone by the way." Su Jiu thought, maybe he could meet her that day. As for the kidnapper, if you really meet him, you must stop and shout in the street to catch that person.Thinking of the traffickers who trafficked people, she couldn't get angry at all.
