Chapter 10 Crash

"Our ancestors originally lived in the Central Plains. Our ancestors were also wealthy! Otherwise, where would your grandfather and your eldest grandfather have the spare money to study when they were young?"

Mrs. Jiang explained to Daohua with a smile. When she said this, she and Xia Youtian looked at each other. The two of them thought at the same time that if the old man hadn't been literate, he wouldn't have thought that someone in the family must go to school.

This thing is so persistent.

Seeing Daohua tilting her head and looking at her eagerly, Jiang continued to tell her about ancient times in a gentle voice:

"Later, our ancestors came here because of the war.

Although it’s a bit cold here, there are a lot of unowned wastelands, and the land is so fertile that it will yield oil even if you hold it in your hand! However, this is not as good as the biggest benefit, which is no war!”

Daohua was completely confused: "Didn't it say that the Northern Barbarians would attack Beiguan County every few years?"

"Silly boy, that attack was in Beiguan County, which is more than a hundred miles away from our corner!

The county seat was guarded by imperial officers and soldiers, and the northern barbarians generally could not attack.

Besides, even if they get lucky and get in, they still like to rob wealthy families in the county, and they don’t even bother to take a look at our extremely poor rural place!"

After hearing this, Xia Daohua roughly understood their thoughts, but she was still very uneasy.

It's a pity that Lao Xia's family doesn't even have a few books, let alone a map! Without a map, it's impossible to tell where the topography is the safest in this era.

Xia Daohua could only comfort herself. She was too impatient to eat hot tofu, so she had better take her time!

The busyness of the family continues.

On the twenty-third of the twelfth lunar month, the Li Zheng family began to kill pigs. As in previous years, the Li Zheng family was always the first to kill the pigs.

The children in the village were all very happy and ran to watch the pig being slaughtered.

Daohua, who originally had no interest in killing pigs, was also pulled over by Linghua and Wufang's Zaohua.

Linghua and Zaohua happily joined a few children of similar age in the village, squeezing their way through the crowd, licking their fingers eagerly and staring at the big fat pig on the chopping board.

How does the butcher bleed the pig, how to blow the pig skin, how to cut the pig into pieces...

Xia Daohua resisted and watched for half the time. When she saw that Linghua and the others were focused on the pig, she quietly left.

I was alone in the village and walked around aimlessly twice. As I walked, I came to an old house near the mountain. This old house was built decades ago.

It is now very dilapidated and no one lives in it.

A lot of thatch on the roof was blown away by the cold wind, and there were several big holes in the roof. The walls were also crumbling, and one wall had collapsed in half. From a distance, the whole house looked like a triangular shack. Only when you get closer can you see it.

See its original appearance.

But as soon as Xia Daohua walked near it, she heard the sound of someone talking in the old house.

Xia Daohua felt that the voice sounded familiar, so she stopped and listened for a while.

She was shocked when the cold wind blew her two words.

The female voice was clearly like that of her aunt Xia Yujiao. The male voice was also somewhat familiar and should be someone the original owner knew, but she couldn't tell who it was.

Xia Daohua's body movements were much faster than her brain, and she immediately hid in the space.

It's never a good thing to break into other people's secrets.

However, this hiding allowed Xia Daohua to discover an advantage of the space supermarket.

In the storage area of ​​the space supermarket, not only can you hear the sounds outside, but you can also see the scene outside. It's just that the observation opening is a bit small, it is a floor-to-ceiling mirror located in the storage area of ​​the supermarket.

Xia Daohua's intuition was right.

As soon as she hid in the space, two people walked out of the dilapidated house.

One of them is the youngest daughter of the Xia family, the aunt of the original owner, Xia Yujiao, who has already decided to get married but is not yet married.

The other one had a stout build, a beard, big eyes, many white eyes, and a fierce look on his face.

The bearded man wore an ill-fitting green satin robe, a blue silk scarf on his head, and a pair of black-faced and white-soled official boots on his feet. He looked around for a long time before speaking:

"Maybe I heard it wrong. The footsteps were very light just now. Maybe it wasn't a person, but someone's dog ran past here."

Xia Yujiao was a little shy, lowered her head and said softly: "I'm going back first."

The beard hugged Xia Yujiao's waist: "Yujiao, listen to me, never marry that sick man! After the New Year, I will divorce my yellow-faced woman and come to your house to propose marriage.

!”

Xia Yujiao struggled for a while but did not break away. She was so anxious that she punched the bearded arm twice: "Let go quickly! What does it look like! If someone sees this, how do you want me to behave?"

"Yujiao, if you don't promise me, I won't let you go!"

"It's not that I don't promise you, it's just that I can't promise you!

Not to mention that you have a wife and children.

Just talking about me, my parents have already arranged a marriage for me! The old Xie family is not wrong. Even if Xie Jiabao is a sick man, my family cannot break their promise and cancel the engagement like this!

I came to see you this time just to make it clear to you. Please let me go!"

"Don't let it go! I won't let it go!"

The bearded man acted rogue, and Xia Yujiao was so anxious that she began to burst into tears: "Uuuu, are you going to force me to death?"

Seeing Xia Yujiao crying sadly, her face covered with snot and tears, her beard finally let her go:

"Yujiao, don't cry, don't cry! As long as you promise me not to get married in a hurry, I will definitely find a way!"

Xia Yujiao said nothing, choked and wiped her tears as she walked away.

The bearded man stood there for a while, then suddenly shouted: "You brat, come out, I saw you!"

Xia Daohua was startled.

Isn't it safe to hide in the supermarket? You can see outside, and you can also see yourself outside?

Immediately afterwards, Xia Daohua saw that the bearded man looked around blankly for a while, changed his direction, and repeated the same sentence loudly.

Drink, it turns out you were deceiving me!

Xia Daohua wiped the sweat from her forehead and said to herself that it was lucky that I acted slowly, otherwise I would have almost been fooled by this guy like you!

She just recalled it for a long time, and she felt that the beard looked very familiar. She must be someone she knew, but she couldn't remember who this person was.

Beard walked around the dilapidated house and shouted in every direction, but no one responded to him. Finally, Beard looked around suspiciously, and finally it was still one step, three

He turned around and left.

Xia Daohua didn't come out of the supermarket until the beard was gone.
