Yuan Qiu looked puzzled: "Since it is the girl's life, why should we raise the body of a young lady? What is the plan of the Jiang family?"
Aunt Zhang smiled mysteriously, looked outside the door, and when she saw that no one was listening, she lowered her voice and said, "I also heard about this from my relatives. It is said that the village chief wanted his daughter to marry into the town and become a young mistress, so naturally he She was so pampered that she took Jiang Chunyan to the town last year to see her get married. I heard that he was the son of a clothing store owner and that his family was well-off. At that time, both parties fell in love and saw that the marriage was about to happen, but Jiang Chunyan didn't know On the way to town, he was stopped by a gangster and his reputation was about to be lost. At this time, a young man came and drove the gangster away with three punches and two kicks, and saved Jiang Chunyan."
Yuan Qiu was fascinated by it, just like listening to a play, and he didn't feel at all that this matter had anything to do with him.
"Jiang Chunyan has been lovesick since that time, and all she thinks about is the young master who saved her. Unfortunately, the young master just drew his sword to help when he saw an injustice. After beating the bad guys away, he didn't leave his name and left directly. Jiang Chunyan likes it. After falling in love with the heroic young man, he no longer liked the son of the owner of Buzhuang, so the marriage fell through. The village chief was so angry that he locked Jiang Chunyan in the house for several months and refused to let him go out. Fortunately, not many people knew about it. , I guess Liu Wenxuan is also unaware, otherwise how could he marry a woman who has another man in her heart?"
After hearing this, Yuan Qiu gloated: "The village chief must not be so angry that he raised his daughter so painstakingly. He thought he could get a good match, but in the end he would marry a farmer."
Aunt Zhang chuckled: "I guess the village chief also thought that Liu Wenxuan would be elected as an official in the future before he would marry Jiang Chunyan to him. It's a pity that he might have to fetch water from a bamboo basket and it would be in vain." No wonder she was so gloating about his misfortune. , the character of these two families is really very bad.
At dawn the next day, the two siblings went to the Ghost Forest with their baskets on their backs. The autumn morning was very cool, and accompanied by the cool morning dew breeze, the two of them walked slowly, neither fast nor slow.
When the two siblings filled up the two medicine baskets, it was already late in the afternoon. They were afraid that it would be too late to rush back for lunch, so they simply took a bath in the stream while the sun was shining like they did last time. I took a bath, ate the dry food I brought, and filled two bamboo tubes with ancient spring water. I kept busy until late, then I picked up the basket and returned home.
The two of them walked back talking and laughing. When passing through a small forest, they saw several men in black riding tall horses and a carriage pulled by two horses rushing into the forest.
Yuan Qiu saw that the men in black on horseback in front had their faces covered and their eyes had murderous intent. He immediately became wary and pulled Yuan Hao to lie down behind a mound of soil, not daring to move.
Only distant calls and the neighing of horses were heard, and the group of people stopped by the lake on the side of the woods.
Yuan Qiu covered his head with grass and looked at the situation outside through the gaps in the grass.
This place is very close to the Ghost Forest, so there are almost no people around on weekdays. This is why those people relax their vigilance so much.
The men in black riding tall horses got off their horses one after another, and the man in black driving the carriage also jumped out of the car, moved a small stool and placed it under the carriage, and stretched out a long white Xixin from the thick curtain. The palm of his hand gently opened the curtain, revealing an extraordinary and handsome face.
