Chapter 265 Marry him and you will be guaranteed to have meat to eat for the rest of your life
"Look, look, that vixen is awake."
"She's really awake. It's really a demon. Look at her face, it's so white, doesn't it look like a ghost?"
"Oh my! That's right! Do you remember Ah Zhen who jumped into the well a few years ago? She was in the water for who knows how long, and when she was pulled out, she looked like this."
Mu Qingcheng: "..."
Haha! Is she Sadako?
If she crawled out now, would it scare them to death? She wanted to try.
"Look, she's staring at us! Her lips are so red, she must have eaten someone before. It's so scary! Quick, go get someone to burn this vixen to death. Be careful she doesn't harm the villagers..."
“Yes, yes, yes…!”
A flurry of footsteps faded away, and the yard finally fell silent. Could they be serious? Could they really be burning her to death?
Mu Qingcheng was really panicked now. She struggled to sit up, and felt a pain when she pressed her hands on the bed. When she raised her hands, she found that her hands were covered with wounds.
Mu Qingcheng didn't care about the pain. She first looked at her hands carefully. Apart from the wound, these were her own hands.
This discovery made her excited and she hurried to look at her clothes.
She had originally worn a white satin jacket with a cross-collar, embroidered with pink butterflies, and a pale green skirt embroidered with silver thread and hundreds of flowers. She feared the cold, so she had wrapped herself in a wide-sleeved, pearl-white satin brocade robe. Now she was wearing only her inner garment, which she recognized as Zipei's own handiwork. It was Zijin who had personally dressed her in the new clothes she had worn that night during the Lantern Festival. The rest of her dress and outer garment were gone.
Does this prove that she did not travel to another place, she is still in the Great Qi Kingdom, and she and Yun Qing are still in the same time and space?
What a surprise! It was so unexpected! God really loves her!
Mu Qingcheng was extremely happy. She quickly lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed. She wanted to find Yun Qing.
"Sister-in-law, why did you get out of bed? You are still sick. Lie down quickly!"
It was the little girl, coming back with a worn coarse porcelain bowl.
Mu Qingcheng frowned and was about to retort the girl, asking her not to call her "sister-in-law" casually. Before Mu Qingcheng could speak, she heard the high-pitched voice of the woman outside the door.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk! Ximei, don't you see how she looks? You can tell she's not from an ordinary family. How could she possibly marry your brother? Look, you've been busy all this time, contributing both effort and money, and just when you saved her, she's about to leave. You're just suckers, you've lost everything and nothing at all. Humph!"
The little girl named Ximei became furious when she heard this and glared at the woman with vicious eyes.
"You're talking nonsense. My sister-in-law is not that kind of person. I, my sister-in-law will definitely marry my brother." Ximei turned her head and looked at Mu Qingcheng, whose expression changed again. She smiled and asked, "Sister-in-law, am I right? You will definitely marry my brother, right?"
Mu Qingcheng felt her hair stand on end and her heart was uneasy. The little girl's smile looked so sinister no matter how she looked at it, like a witch who wanted to eat people.
The woman was unconvinced: "Hmph! Just wait! Someone has already gone to find the village chief, and soon someone will come to catch this vixen. Once she's burned to death, I wonder how you can marry her."
Ximei was so anxious that she cursed loudly: "You, you Sun Qianpo, you must be gossiping behind my back again. My eldest brother will never marry a wife in his life, and he will never marry your Xiuyun. Get out of here right now, get out of my house..."
"You, you damned money-loser... a born bastard. You want to marry our Xiuyun from your poor little house with broken bricks and rotten walls? What a pipe dream... Humph! You're just a bunch of toads... and you think it's a good dream..."
Ximei was so angry that she picked up the broom on the ground and hit the woman with it. The woman was so angry that she jumped up and down, dodging and cursing.
"You crazy girl... a wild, uneducated, fatherless girl..."
Despite her young age, Ximei was quite strong and in a few moves she pushed the woman out of the house. She quickly closed the dilapidated gate and returned to the house.
Mu Qingcheng didn't know why, but she felt a little uneasy when facing this child.
Ximei returned to the house, smilingly picked up the bowl of water and brought it to Mu Qingcheng.
"Sister-in-law, aren't you thirsty? Drink up!"
Mu Qingcheng took a look at the large black coarse porcelain bowl. The water inside was clean, so she took the bowl, closed her eyes and poured it all into her mouth in one breath.
Fortunately, the water was not hot, but it had a strange smell, like water boiled in a pot that had been used to cook rice, with a fishy smell.
“Cough cough cough… cough… Thank you, thank you!”
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law... drink slowly, there is still plenty of water in the pot!" Ximei obediently patted Mu Qingcheng on the back.
Mu Qingcheng took a breath and said, "Little girl, I don't know you. Don't call me sister-in-law. You can call me sister."
Ximei's face darkened and she seemed a little unhappy, but she put on a smile again and said, "Sister-in-law, you don't know the situation of our family yet! Let me tell you slowly..."
Mu Qingcheng hurriedly stopped her: "Little girl, you can't recognize relatives randomly. I'm really not your sister-in-law. Please call me sister!"
Ximei's face froze for a moment, then she continued, "Sister-in-law, listen to me. My eldest brother is the strongest man in our Fangjia Village. He's amazing. He can farm, hunt, and fish. If you marry him, you'll definitely have meat to eat for the rest of your life..."
Ximei kept on listing her elder brother's merits, completely disregarding whether Mu Qingcheng was willing to listen or not.
"Unlike my second brother, who can do nothing but study. He can only eat. What's the point of being good-looking? With skinny arms and legs, he can't do anything. If you marry someone like my second brother, your life will be ruined. You will only be able to eat books."
This was originally quite funny, but Mu Qingcheng couldn't laugh. This child's brain must be a little abnormal. Mu Qingcheng thought it was better not to argue with her. Let her say whatever she wants!
"Little girl, did you save me?"
Ximei became even more excited when she heard her ask this: "It was my eldest brother. He saved you from a pack of wolves. Sister-in-law, you must not remember, but my brother said you fainted from fright. It was a very dangerous time. If my eldest brother hadn't killed the wolf king with one arrow, you would have been eaten by the wolves."
As expected, Mu Qingcheng hurriedly thanked her, and the little girl continued to praise her brother with a proud look on her face.
"My eldest brother is amazing. He can shoot arrows very accurately. Even our village's old hunter, my great-grandfather, has praised him..."
Mu Qingcheng couldn't help but interrupt her again: "Was your eldest brother the only one who saved me at that time?"
Ximei was stunned at first, then reluctantly said, "Well, at that time, there were a few people from the village. They went up the mountain to hunt with my eldest brother. However, it was my eldest brother who killed the wolf king and saved you. My eldest brother is really powerful..."
She started praising her brother again, and Mu Qingcheng couldn't stand it anymore: "Little girl, where are my clothes? Can you give them back to me?"
Ximei was talking happily when she suddenly heard Mu Qingcheng asking her for clothes. She looked embarrassed, but her face was so dirty that she couldn't even blush.
"Uh! Well, your clothes are dirty. I, I took them to wash."
Mu Qingcheng didn't care and asked again: "Have you seen my purse or my other things?"
Mu Qingcheng always carried a purse, the same style as Yun Qing's, which contained only first aid medicines and no silver. When she woke up, she found that the lotus hairpin on her head was missing, wondering if it had fallen off during her escape.
"Purse? Uh! Yes, there is a purse. I saw it when I was washing your clothes. I, I'll go look for it."
Ximei lowered her head and walked slowly to the head of the bed. There was actually a shabby wooden cabinet there. It was so black that it had merged with the wall. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see it.
Ximei opened the cabinet door a crack and rummaged around inside for a long time before she took out a purse.
Mu Qingcheng was taller than Ximei. When she looked into the closet from behind her, it was also pitch black. However, her dress was white, which stood out among the pile of tattered and pitch-black clothes and could be seen at a glance.
