"I, I." Li Dazhuang kept asking me for a long time but couldn't make any sense.
"What? You want me to send you off personally?" Song Lao Er raised his fist and walked towards him, his clenched fist making snapping sounds.
Li Dazhuang didn't dare to stay here anymore. He turned around and ran away in fear.
"I really don't know what my sister likes about him. He looks so ugly that I can knock him down with just one punch." Song Lao Er sat back on the stool in dismay and took a big gulp of tea.
"Second brother, you know my sister well. She is a stubborn person. Once she makes up her mind, no one can change her mind." The man, who had been silent, crossed his legs.
"I don't see what's so good about that guy. I took my sister to see Li Dazhuang this morning, and I fell in love with him at first sight." The other man was the one who went to ask Li Dazhuang for directions in the morning. Asking for directions was just an excuse, but actually he went to see him. However, Li Dazhuang was so scared after entering the house that he completely forgot about what happened in the morning.
At this time, a young girl walked in. She was wearing a pink gauze skirt, her hair was tied up in a bun, and she wore two hollow carved silver hairpins on her head. She pouted and looked arrogant.
"Dad, Mom, you have to make the decision for me." The girl was Song Xiangxiu, the most favored daughter of the Song family. Her mother had just gone to find her and said that the young man from the Li family came to cancel the engagement and asked for her opinion. She was so angry that she wanted to come over. She had made a special trip to see the man in the morning. How could she let him cancel the engagement so easily? What did he think of her? Her mother stopped her after much persuasion, saying that it was not easy for unmarried men and women to meet before getting married.
She had been paying attention to the movements in the main room until she heard the sound of a door closing. Knowing that Li Dazhuang had left, she hurried out to see what was going on.
"Xiu, don't worry. With your father and brothers here, the marriage will never be cancelled." Old Mrs. Song was busy comforting her precious daughter. She was the daughter of an old age and she only had this daughter. She had been spoiled since she was a child and had never been allowed to suffer any grievances. How could she have been humiliated by such a boy today? She had to find a matchmaker and ask the Li family to give them an explanation. Did they think that the Song family was easy to bully?
"Mom still loves me the most." Song Xiangxiu acted coquettishly and snuggled up to her mother. Then she rolled her eyes and asked innocently.
"Mom, if Da Zhuang and I get married, will the woman he likes continue to pester him?"
This is a problem. For a moment, everyone in the room was silent.
"Li Xiaoxiao?" Brother Song muttered to himself. When Li Dazhuang said this name just now, he felt it sounded familiar.
After thinking for a while, he finally remembered that some time ago, there was a female hunter in Qinghe Village, who was said to be a young girl, who hunted two wolves in Jiunu Mountain at the same time. Second Brother Song was also a hunter. The hunters in nearby villages knew each other and sometimes met in the mountains and had private interactions. They were all happy to talk about hunting big animals like this, so he was particularly impressed by this incident and wrote down the name.
"Second Brother, do you know her?" Old Man Song looked at Second Brother Song.
"Dad, I know there is a female hunter named Li Xiaoxiao in Qinghe Village. I think it should be her." Their village is not big, and there are probably no people with the same age with the same name.
"Tell me everything you know about Li Xiaoxiao." Old Mrs. Song loves her daughter dearly. When she thinks that Li Xiaoxiao might cause trouble to her daughter in the future, she dislikes Li Xiaoxiao from the bottom of her heart.
"I also heard it from others, I don't know if it's true." Brother Song thought for a moment and continued.
"Li Xiaoxiao's father is a sickly person, her mother is a coward, and she has an older sister and a younger brother. A few months ago, she was driven out by her grandparents for unknown reasons. The head of the village felt sorry for her family and found a vacant lot in the village for them to live in. As for how they are doing now, I don't know. Li Xiaoxiao went up the mountain to hunt. The girl is very capable and hunted two wolves at once. Otherwise, I don't know."
As Brother Song spoke, he felt a surge of envy. It was not about how much the two wolves could be sold for, but mainly about the sense of honor of being a hunter.
"Hmph, as a woman, how can you imitate a man and go hunting in the mountains? Big brother, second brother, fourth brother, tomorrow morning, call fifth brother and go to Qinghe Village together to find Li Xiaoxiao and warn her. She is not allowed to have any contact with Li Dazhuang in the future." Old Mrs. Song was furious.
"If she doesn't listen, you can teach her a proper lesson." No one in Songjia Bay dared to provoke Old Man Song. He was a domineering man when he was young, and God gave him five tall and strong sons in one breath, so he became even more domineering. Even the head of the village had to treat him with respect when he came.
"I know, Dad. Don't worry. I promise that she won't make her sister angry in the future." The second brother Song was full of confidence. He was kicked out of his family and lived in a straw hut. He was helpless and all he needed was a little threat from him. Nothing would be a big problem.
***
Si Chengxu chopped the firewood quickly and stacked it neatly. He didn't look embarrassed at all and was as calm as usual. Li Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes in her heart. Well, actually she wanted to see him make a fool of himself.
Prepare firewood and go to the village to fetch water. Si Chengxu has lived here for quite some time, but he has only been to the village once, and another time was when he passed by to save Li Ruolan, so he didn't know the location of the village well.
Li Xiaoxiao kindly took him there and taught him how to fetch water. There are skills to fetching water, otherwise only half a bucket of water would be left when he returned. After all, the job of fetching water would be his from now on.
When they went out, Li Xiaoxiao led the way in front, and Si Chengxu followed behind with a shoulder pole on his shoulder. Nowadays, most water buckets are made of wood. The one from Li Xiaoxiao's family is smaller than those from other families. A wooden bucket weighs about seven or eight kilograms, with one in front and one in the back. Although they were going down the mountain to fetch water, Si Chengxu looked like he was taking a leisurely walk in the woods.
It is now approximately the Shen time, which is around four in the afternoon. There are not many people carrying water. If you come to fetch water in the evening, you basically have to queue up. The weather is hot and every household uses a lot of water.
As time went by, the well became a place for gossip in the village. The women who came to fetch water, who had nothing to do, would gather together and start talking about which girl got engaged, which sow gave birth to nine piglets, and so on...
Coincidentally, when Li Xiaoxiao and Si Chengxu arrived, there were a few women who were talking about something. When they were excited, they were gesticulating and spitting all over the place. Among them was Aunt Hua.
Aunt Hua has sharp eyes and saw Li Xiaoxiao from a distance. If you ask Aunt Hua who she hates the most, it must be Li Xiaoxiao. Last time when her family was building a house, her lover Zhang the hunter went to sabotage it the day before the roof was completed, and the plan was not completed. Since then, he has refused to help her no matter what, and also said that Li Xiaoxiao was protected by the mountain god and she must not provoke her.
Pah, she still needs the protection of the mountain god, but that mountain god must be blind.
"Oh, who was it? He brought his cousin to fetch water again. Miss Li is just a good-tempered person and always has good luck with people. Yesterday it was Dazhuang, today it's my cousin, and I wonder who it will be tomorrow?" As she said this, she laughed to herself, and several women standing nearby also started talking.
