"What's wrong, little sister? Are you tired?" Qi Wei walked towards Qi Yuan and wanted to take the broom from Qi Yuan's hand, "Okay, take a rest and I'll sweep it."

Qi Yuan looked at Qi Wei, then turned his attention to the officers, soldiers and villagers walking towards the small courtyard.

The coarse cloth is short and brown, and it looks fierce and evil.

The door of the small courtyard was knocked open by a group of people. Several villagers were followed by officers and soldiers, looking greedily at the Qi family courtyard and the two Qi brothers and sisters.

Qi Yuan turned his wrist slightly, intending to beat these people out, but after a pause, he decided to eliminate the root cause.

Qi Wei was holding a big broom, protecting Qi Yuan behind him, and looked at the villagers, officers and soldiers in front of him warily.

In the past, these people would never patronize the Qi family because their family was poor and their younger sister was mute. People who were different were always bullied, and their family hardly had any contact with other people in the village.

Now, they rushed in in a swarm, Qi Wei thought, if he didn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, there must be something going on, or even... not a good thing.

"Why do you uncles and uncles have time to come to our brother and sister's house? What orders do you have, sir?"

Qi Wei is a scholar, with a mighty name, but he really likes reading in his heart, so his dealings with others are not vulgar and reckless, but as warm as the spring breeze.

The villagers didn't buy it, let alone the officers and soldiers.

The leading officers and soldiers were thin but not short. They looked at Qi Yuan behind Qi Wei with a fierce look: "You are not married or engaged at the age of fifteen, and you have violated the laws of Qi. Now, under the order of the county magistrate, the daughter of the Qi family is arrested.

.”

The evil in Qi Wei's bones burst out in an instant, and his thin figure suddenly became cold and stern. He raised his arms slightly to protect Qi Yuan behind him, and stared at the people in front of him with his wolf-like eyes.

Qi Wei glanced at Qi Yuan out of the corner of his eye and whispered: "Don't worry, little sister, I will definitely protect you."

Qi Yuan subconsciously opened his mouth, but no sound came out, so he had no choice but to give up. He pressed his hand on Qi Wei's arm and made a few strokes on his palm to signal Qi Wei to stay still.

Qi Wei was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously turned back to look at Qi Yuan, seeing her pure black eyes, as clean as ever.

My little sister...is she too arrogant?

Mom and dad bless you!

Qi Wei is determined. He is a very smart person who has no chance. Now everything will develop in a better direction.

Qi Wei still protected Qi Yuan, and the villagers talked a lot, urging Qi Wei and Qi Yuan not to struggle, and asked Qi Yuan to be taken away by the officers and soldiers.

"From the Qi family, you are a girl, and you are not getting married at such an old age. Are you worthy of your ancestors?"

"That is, if you are a little girl and you haven't given birth to a baby yet, you won't be able to give birth to a baby in a few years. Who will be willing to marry you then?"

"My lord, please take her away quickly. Without her parents, no one is planning to get married. She is still living with her brother at such an old age. It is against the morals! It is against the morals!"

"Yes, sir, take her away quickly!"

Qi Yuan twirled her fingers in her sleeves, her expression unchanged, and her eyes scanned the surrounding villagers, all blaming her.

Stupid.

Simple ignorance.

Qi Yuan had nothing else to say. Although she did not like an uncivilized era, she would not resent it. The evolution of folk customs and ideas was a gradual process.

She has the ability to protect herself, but in this era, women in the same situation as her are not so lucky.

Qi Wei stretched out his hand, spoke sternly, interrupted the villagers who were talking, looked at the officers and soldiers, and said politely, "My little sister can't speak. I'm worried that something will happen to her. Officers, I will accompany you."

Send my little sister on a trip."

As soon as Qi Wei finished speaking, several officers and soldiers looked at each other in confusion, their eyes met, and finally decided to let Qi Wei accompany him.

Qi Wei locked the door of the small courtyard and held Qi Yuan's wrist. The warm palm was a bit rough, but his thin body gave people a great sense of security. The officers and soldiers around him had their thoughts on their faces and did not use violence against the brothers and sisters.

He took the two of them towards the county.

When several people arrived at the county, they did not go to the county government office, but headed east of the city.

The chill of early spring has not dissipated, and there are not many pedestrians on the road.

Qi Wei knew the road and made eighteen turns in his mind, but he didn't understand where the officers and soldiers were taking him and Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan tapped his fingers on the side of his legs, which seemed messy but very mysterious and rhythmic.

Qi Yuan's little face is upright, white and clean, her black eyes are calm, and she looks extremely well-behaved.

Only the system knows...

[Host, please! Stop scolding!]

I learned sign language to curse people, but now I have a Morse code book and I can curse people again.

Qi Wei took Qi Yuan's wrist, pulled it, and whispered, "Are you hungry, little sister?"

Qi Yuan subconsciously opened his mouth, but the mouth that could not make any sound could only be closed again. Qi Yuan shook his head helplessly, indicating to Qi Wei that he was not hungry.

Qi Wei's worried eyes did not dissipate. He was worried that Qi Yuan had something on his mind, so he said he was not hungry. His mind was also very confused and he was not in the mood to eat, but he was the elder brother and wanted to make his little sister feel at ease.

"Master, where are you taking us?"

Qi Wei spoke up and asked the officers and soldiers leading the way.

The officers and soldiers turned around and glanced at Qi Wei, looking at Qi Wei's washed white clothes, their eyes full of disdain, "Of course I will take you to meet your in-laws!"

"What?" Qi Wei frowned, "Can't we pay if we don't get married? Why do we still have to..."

Qi Yuan was not surprised by this. He stared at the officers and soldiers with his clear black and white eyes, and the officers and soldiers quickly looked away in shock.

The officers and soldiers were frightened by Qi Yuan's pure black eyes. When they started to look at each other, they felt that they had been frightened by a mute and lost face. They said in an impatient tone, "The landlord said that he will welcome your sister to the house as a young lady. From now on,

You are my uncle!"

Qi Wei's brows deepened, "We won't get married! We'll pay taxes!"

His little sister can't speak, so she will definitely be bullied when she gets married.

Otherwise, he can raise his little sister for the rest of his life.

Qi Yuan caught a glimpse of Qi Wei out of the corner of his eye, saw his excited expression, and felt a strange, indescribably unfamiliar feeling in his heart.

Qi Yuan grabbed Qi Wei to prevent him from fighting with the officers and soldiers. Although Qi Wei was a hunter, he was a scholar after all, and his body was not as strong as these tall officers and soldiers.

Qi Yuan's actions made Qi Wei calm down instantly.

The officers and soldiers sneered, "The landowner said that if you don't want to get married, you won't get married?"

Qi Wei said nothing, with a cold face and a sinister look in his eyes. In an instant, everything changed, but it seemed that nothing had changed.

Finally, after walking for half an hour, the officers and soldiers led Qi Yuan and Qi Wei to the gate of a large house.

The door of the mansion is not decorated to celebrate the wedding of the wife. Instead, it is hung with white paper, paper money is sprinkled, and a white elegiac couplet is pasted beside the door.

Eerie and weird.

Qi Wei's blood boiled, this was not a living person marrying a wife, this was clearly marrying a dead person!

Qi Wei's heart was filled with heat. He grabbed Qi Yuan and held her behind him. He stared angrily at the officers and soldiers in front of him, "We don't want to marry! There is no law that stipulates that women must marry!"

"I won't let my little sister marry a dead man even if I try to sell it!"
