Shocking! In this matriarchal society, every man wants to marry me!

He stood in front of the dilapidated door, the woman's clothes looking out of place on him. He kept his head down and remained motionless until he heard Zhongtian return. Only then did he raise his head, take two quick steps, and hurriedly go to greet him.

Before Zhongtian could ask any questions, the man spoke first.

"I've prepared water for you in the room, please wash up first."

There was no well nearby, so the water must have been painstakingly drawn from the river.

Zhongtian peeked inside and saw a clean basin filled with clear spring water. The wooden basin had been there before, but it hadn't been used for a long time and was very dirty. The man had cleaned it very thoroughly.

"You go quickly, I'll wait outside!"

Nakata couldn't stand the smell emanating from himself.

She closed the wooden door, quickly cleaned herself up, and even washed her hair. With all the filth gone, she felt incredibly refreshed and in a great mood.

In ancient times, there were no hair dryers, and the water from wet hair would seep into the clothes.

The sun was shining brightly outside, so Nakata stood in the sun to bask in its warmth.

Therefore, her tone was less aloof and more warm.

"What's your name?"

Xia Jin'an happily replied, "My name is Xia Jin'an."

"Jin'an, Jin'an, that's a good name."

While Zhongtian was still thinking about how to settle Xia Jin'an, Xia Jin'an took a comb, stood behind Zhongtian, and slowly combed her full head of black hair.

In ancient times, people tied their hair up. Zhong Tian, ​​a modern person, didn't know how to braid those complicated hairstyles at all. He just tied his hair up with a hairband like Xiaolongnu, barely managing to keep his hair from being disheveled, but it was still a bit inconvenient for working.

A man she didn't recognize was standing behind her. Nakata felt rather uncomfortable and shifted uncomfortably, her hair pulling painfully.

"do not move."

Xia Jin'an said, "I'm used to being a servant, I won't hurt you."

His hands flew all over Zhongtian's head, and in a moment a simple, neat hairstyle was created.

Looking at herself in the bronze mirror, Zhongtian saw that she had a flying fairy bun, which made her look quite ethereal. She shook her head, but the bun didn't come loose. Zhongtian was very satisfied: "You are very skillful."

Unlike her, who is neither clever nor skillful.

Xia Jin'an smiled slightly, her eyes softening with tenderness: "I'm glad you're satisfied."

Xia Jin'an was not actually having an easy time. He had only ever tied up the hair of his son. He had to be respectful and proper even when speaking to a woman face to face, let alone such an intimate gesture as tying up her hair.

However, if he wants to stay, he has to shed some of his masculine shyness.

He carefully observed Zhongtian's expression and, seeing that she was in a good mood, knew this was a good opportunity. He knelt on the ground, his back straight and his handsome face raised.

From this angle, you can see his delicate collarbone and slightly trembling Adam's apple through his clothes.

"Please, let me stay." His voice was soft, a hint of vulnerability in his beautiful fox eyes, his breath sweet as orchids. "Master, please let me stay."

That sound, like a hook, made her heart itch; Zhongtian's ears, as if painted red, quickly turned bright red.

A handsome man kneels on the ground and calls you master—who wouldn't be moved?

Ugh, yellow! Get out!

Zhong Tian softened and wavered, but still managed to grasp the last shred of reason to persuade Xia Jin'an.

"Xia Jin'an, you have no future with me. I'm a terrible person! I'm abusive, an alcoholic, and my husband ran off with a rich man. You won't have a good life with me!"

Xia Jin'an's face grew paler and paler as Zhong Tian recounted his story. He almost lost his footing. Most women in the world were unfaithful and fickle, full of bad habits. How could he expect to meet a good person?

But... if he comes down the mountain alive, someone might kill him.

This woman saved him, told him the truth, and seemed so innocent; she wasn't exactly rotten to the core.

"Master, please let me follow you. I can endure anything!"

At this point, Nakata became curious. What kind of life had he lived before that he could tolerate such a despicable person?

Nakata became wary. "Won't your identity cause any trouble?" Nakata asked worriedly. "What if someone tries to assassinate you in the middle of the night?"

Xia Jin shook her head: "No."

As long as he doesn't go down the mountain, that man won't go so far as to kill him. Xia Wen has too many unwanted suitors outside, and he needs to nip them in the bud one by one. "That's good. You can come with me for now."

Zhongtian helped Xia Jin'an up and casually patted the dust off his legs. "The ground is uneven, don't kneel down so easily."

"...Also, don't call me master. My name is Nakata. Just call me by my name."

"……it is good."

Women prefer men who are obedient and compliant.

Zhongtian looked at Xia Jin'an. Now that they would be living together, making money became even more urgent.

She immediately went to the cornfield, where the wild boar was not alone; it was accompanied by three piglets.

At the time, Zhongtian discovered them, but she did not kill them all. Now, looking at them, the three little pigs are grunting with hunger. Without any elders to find food for them, they are about to starve to death.

Zhongtian took the ropes, tied them up, and put one on each of his hands, arms, and back, then carried them back home.

Zhongtian cut down some wood and built a makeshift pigsty.

In modern times, she would stay at her maternal grandmother's house in the countryside during holidays, and she had seen a lot of rural things since she was a child.

Three little piglets arrived in an unfamiliar environment, frightened and scared, jumping and running around the small yard with boundless energy.

Xia Jin'an stood to the side, somewhat at a loss: "This pig is too active, master."

Calling someone by their name would be too offensive, so Xia Jin compromised by calling them "master," which is the standard way to address someone as their master.

Zhongtian didn't say anything, but took the knife and sharpened it on the stone, the blade gleaming.

Zhongtian looked at the piglets and smiled mischievously. "Hehe, in a little while, they won't be squealing so loudly anymore."

Suddenly… Nakata cried out in pain and slapped his forehead. “I forgot to buy alcohol! If we don’t disinfect it, it’ll be terrible if we get infected! Imayasu, go to the market and buy me some alcohol.”

Xia Jin'an couldn't understand what Zhong Tian was telling him to go down the mountain.

His body trembled violently, his lips were pale, and even though he tried his best to control himself, his voice trembled as he said, "Go down the mountain... I... won't go!"
