C11 Blocking Road
Xie Xiang raised an eyebrow at Zhuang Qing from the darkness. This man was used to being cold on guard, but even if he suddenly revealed a hint of recklessness and intimacy, Zhuang Qing still understood in an instant.
He was trying to protect her reputation. In this kind of situation, only by making their relationship take for granted would the crime of a single man and a single woman break down. Not only would he have to waste Xie Xiang's good intentions by denying it, he would also sink into unwarranted infamy.
Zhuang Qingyin, who had seen too many forms of marriage in his past life, praised Xiang's beautiful reversal. Even if they were married, it wouldn't be a problem for them to leave each other in the future.
Thus, when the Village Head asked about it, Zhuang Qing nodded her head with a hint of shyness that was just right.
"Since the two of you are in love, I shall be the marriage certificate!" Li Youfu stroked his beard and laughed.
As soon as he said this, the villagers started getting restless. They had come up the mountain to catch a traitor, but now that they had become a couple, they wouldn't be able to catch a traitor!
Zhang Chunhua cried out in indignation, "Village Head, this doesn't make sense! They were so tired of each other before they were married that nobody knows what they did! "
Li Youfu frowned, but before he could say anything, Xie Xiang sneered. "It's precisely to save my life that Qing'er doesn't even care about the defense of men and women." To be able to marry such a kind-hearted and kind-hearted girl is my greatest fortune. Are you trying to be like you, thinking about the dirty things of a lone man and a single woman? His heart is naturally dirty, no matter what he looks at.
Zhang Chunhua's fat face turned red from the beating. Even the people around her started to mock her in a low voice.
How could Li Youfu not see that Zhang Chun Hua was deliberately making fun of him? Usually, when he bullied an orphan girl, he would even cause trouble for her marriage, but he hated the harsh and gloomy atmosphere the most, and could not help but scold angrily: "Zhao Wu family, they are compatible, what does it have to do with you, the one he married is not you!"
These words were heavy on a married woman. Zhang Chun Hua cried out in anger after being hit consecutively. She covered her face as she ran out the door. Seeing this, the remaining people were immediately horrified, and didn't dare to be too quick with their words.
Li Youfu ignored Zhang Chunhua and looked at the dilapidated temple. His face softened as he said, "Someone is about to get married. How can we live here?" "Follow us down the mountain and choose a lucky day to get the good news ready."
Xie Xiang nodded and Zhuang Qing let out a sigh of relief. The two of them packed their things and returned to Zhuang Qing's house in the village.
Zhuang Qing tidied up the bed first and helped Xie Xiang sit down. "Alright, you can sleep here."
Looking at the four walls of the house, Xie Xiang asked hesitantly, "What about you?"
"I can sleep anywhere, don't worry, just focus on recuperating." Zhuang Qing said nonchalantly. What she said was the truth. She had gotten used to living a stressful and fast life in her previous life, so she was so busy that she could lie on the table and sleep on a couch wherever she slept.
Xie Xiang's gaze wavered slightly as he fell silent.
Seeing that it was still early, Zhuang Qing placed the bowl of chicken soup she had brought along with her all the way down the mountain onto the bedside table, exhorting, "I'm going to the market to exchange the herbs for food and come back. You should rest at home."
She had been so busy that she hadn't even had a sip of her saliva. Xie Xiang mysteriously raised his hand and tucked away her hair behind her ears.
The slight heat from her fingers brushing against their skin made both of them freeze at once. Xie Xiang suddenly pulled his hand away, his ears turning red as if he refused to listen to anyone. His gaze was sharp and serious, looking at nothing but the heavens and looking down at her.
Had he never even spoken of love?
He was in a good mood as he carried the basket out to the market. He went to the medicine store to bargain and sell the medicinal herbs, then changed the copper coin into grain, oil, meat and vegetables.
It was getting late in the night by the time they arrived. Zhuang Qing was worried about Xie Xiang as she hurried back. When she arrived at the entrance of the village, she saw a woman as fat as a pig blocking the way as she glared at her.
Zhuang Qing paused in her steps, her tone cold, "What are you trying to do?"
