I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl

Chapter 68 Sending Buddha to the West

Although Mu Jingzhi is a poor student now, he has tried to learn martial arts to improve his health before. But he is different from Gu Wenxuan. He gave up after learning for less than two days because he could not stand the pain.

As the saying goes, "Nothing is difficult in the world as long as you are willing to give up." After he lay down completely, his life really had a lot fewer troubles.

Gu Wenxuan glanced at him and said, "My father has been on the battlefield and was injured. He can't do heavy work. I am the eldest in the family and I have to help my elders support the family."

After a pause, she continued, "My mother and my grandmother are also women, but they all learned martial arts and hunting from their parents since they were young."

The implication is that her situation is not uncommon in ordinary people's homes.

Peng Xuan lowered his voice and joked with Bai Jingzhou, "Brother Bai, are you afraid of being beaten by your wife in the future if you get engaged to such a powerful girl?"

Bai Jingzhou liked the title "daughter-in-law" very much, so not only did he not care about Peng Xuan'an's superficial words, but he also responded to him with a long string of words in a very good manner.

"I haven't done anything to let my wife down, so why should I be afraid of being beaten by her?"

"As for those who give a distance to a girl just because she's capable, I'm afraid they've been planning to manipulate and bully her from the beginning, right?"

"Wouldn't it be unlucky for anyone to marry into a family like this?"

Mu Jingzhi and Peng Xuan'an were both very surprised, surprised that Bai Jingzhou could actually say such insightful words.

Although the views expressed in these words are very different from the mainstream views in today's society, these two young men have obviously not been too deeply poisoned by feudal ethics. Compared with those old guys who are conservative, they are still very receptive to new ideas.

The group of four chatted and entered Liulin Town together in a sneaky manner before the sun set, trying their best to avoid being seen.

Bai Jingzhou was worried that there were spies behind the scenes in the town, so before taking Peng Xuan and Mu Jingzhi into Liulin Town, he not only asked them to change into his old clothes, but also did some minor changes to their faces.

Bai Jingzhou kindly provided two sets of old clothes. One set was the coarse cloth shorts he wore everyday. He originally planned to have a change of clothes in case it rained. The other set was the scholar's robe he wore when he was in the state capital.

He had no use for that robe on a normal basis, so this time when he went into the mountains with Gu Wenxuan, he rolled up the robe and took it with him.

However, he did not expect that before he could use the rolled-up scholar's robe as a pillow, the robe had already been used by them again to disguise themselves.

The two found a house nearby on the edge of the town. There was only an elderly couple living in that house, but there were as many as seven or eight rooms in it.

Bai Jingzhou had a convincing aura in his appearance, temperament and speech. He knocked on the other party's door, and then used a dime to get the other party to agree to let them stay overnight and use the stove and firewood.

After settling the two young masters, he and Gu Wenxuan rushed to the carriage agency and made an appointment with the manager of the agency for a carriage to the county town early the next morning.

The two had originally planned to let the two young masters return to the county town by themselves, but the two young masters were so frightened by Gu Wenxuan that they were afraid that they would be killed by assassins sent by Peng Xuan'an's stepmother on their way back to the city.

Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou both knew kung fu, especially Gu Wenxuan, who was obviously quite skilled. In order to get them to accompany them to protect them, the two promised to reward them handsomely and also cried pitifully, which made Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan cry so much that they lost their temper.

Besides, they had a good impression of the two men. There were not many young men who would act like "It's your honor that I have use for you poor people, you should be grateful" in this world with clear class distinctions but corrupt social order.

Bai Jingzhou wanted to make friends with the two of them, so as to give his family and the Gu family an extra bargaining chip to live a stable life in this chaotic world, so he said to Gu Wenxuan: "How about we save them to the end and help them to the end?"

When their eyes met, Gu Wenxuan realized almost immediately that Bai Jingzhou had his own purpose. She nodded helplessly, "Okay, then we'll delay for another day and send them to a safe place."

The two young men breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that. Their tense nerves suddenly relaxed and fatigue swept through their bodies. The hard kang mat that had originally prevented them from falling asleep now gave them the illusion that it was not that hard after all.

After a long and peaceful night, Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan took the two teenagers, who were still in disguise, to the carriage and sent them back to the county town.

After the carriage entered the county town from the east gate, Peng Xuan'an came to the door and told the driver to drive directly to Qi's Noodle House near the county government office.

The driver didn't think much and drove the carriage to Qi's Noodle House. However, Bai Jingzhou quickly glanced at Peng Xuan and Mu Jingzhi, thinking that these two people seemed to be more than just wealthy.

However, he did not test them. He just wanted to make some well-informed friends and had no intention of currying favor with any official's son.

Bai Jingzhou was unwilling to put himself and Gu Wenxuan in an absolutely disadvantaged position when interacting with others.

The four of them got off the car in front of Qi's Noodle House. Peng Xuan and Mu Jingzhi did not rush to their destination immediately, but warmly invited Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan to join them in visiting the county government office.

Peng Xuan explained to the two people a little embarrassedly, "I am actually the son of the county magistrate. I didn't tell you before because I was afraid you would feel uncomfortable after hearing it, but now it is time to tell you."

He really wanted to make friends with Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan, so he didn't want them to change their attitude just because he was the son of the local official.

You could say he had an ostrich mentality or was just deceiving himself, but he wanted to get along with Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan as equally as possible.

What surprised him was that Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan did not become reserved or enthusiastic after he revealed his identity. They still maintained their calm and composed attitude as before.

Peng Xuan'an's heart was pounding, and he had a strange premonition that he was finally going to make his second or third true friend.

Mu Jingzhi also had the same premonition. The two playboys looked at each other, and Peng Xuan spoke again, inviting Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan to accompany them to the county government office as guests.

Bai Jingzhou shook his head and refused, "Thank you for your kindness, but we are just ordinary people and cannot afford the revenge of villains."

Gu Wenxuan also said: "Please do not reveal our true identities to others."

Thinking of the dangerous situation he and Mu Jingzhi had encountered, Peng Xuan'an could only nod and agree with regret, "Okay then. After I finish my family affairs, Jingzhi and I will definitely go to Baijia Village to see you."
