Chapter 624 Village Woman Ziying
“Brother Shan, I’m going to Yingxiang Mansion again tomorrow.”

Xiaoyu floated into the yard and heard Ziying talking in the inner room.

Compared to a few years ago, Ziying’s voice has become much more mature.

It was already dark now. They had all finished their dinner, turned off the lights and went to bed. It was also possible that they had never turned on the lights from beginning to end, so there was no need to turn them off.

“Go find Miss Yu? Are you sure she’s back? Will it be another wasted trip?”

The person who was speaking was her husband, and he sounded quite young, probably only two or three years older than Ziying.

“No matter how many times I make trips in vain, I must see her. I haven’t heard from her for several years, and I must see her this time no matter what.” Ziying said in a firm voice.

“Then I’ll go with you.” said the man.

Ziying hesitated and said, “Brother Shan, you have difficulty walking. It took you two days to go back and forth last time. You don’t need to go this time.

I’m not sure if Xiao Fengxian has returned to Tianmen Town, but if I use Qinggong to travel quickly, I can leave in the morning and return home in the evening.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu immediately activated the spiritual eye of her heart and used the secret medical technique to check the man’s life and death energy.

The man was in good health, except for a broken right kneecap, which made him lame.

“I can ride a donkey. Now that the busy spring season is over, I am not afraid of wasting two days.” The man said, “Miss Yu is our family’s great benefactor. I must kowtow to her a few times before I can feel at ease.”

Ziying seemed a little hesitant. “If you leave, what will happen to Damei and Heiwa? It’s hundreds of miles. The adults are fine, but the two kids are too young to bear it.”

“I won’t take the kids with me this time. I’ll leave them to our mother. They’ll only be there for a few days,” said the man.

Ziying said, “That’s fine. I’ll make a few more pancakes tomorrow morning and we can go together.”

At this point, the couple had nothing more to say and were almost ready to fall asleep.

Xiaoyu took a few steps back and reached the gate of the yard. Then he coughed and called out, “Ziying, are you asleep?”

“Swoosh~~” The next moment, a white shadow jumped out of the window and smashed the window frame.

“Who?” Ziying was still holding a hatchet in her hand, and her no longer round face showed both vigilance and doubt.

Xiao Yu smiled and said, “Not bad, not bad. Although you have married and become a village woman, your kung fu has not fallen behind.”

Ziying blinked, and the “hatching knife” in her hand fell down with a clang, “Oh my God, am I dreaming?”

Xiaoyu looked at the hole in the window paper and saw a man with a bow and arrow peeking out.

“Does your family have any great enemies? They react so strongly.”

“Xiao Fengxian, it’s really you~~” Ziying confirmed her identity, cheered, and immediately rushed to her, grabbed her arm, and looked her up and down.

“Tsk tsk, Xiao Fengxian, you’ve grown up and become so pretty!”

Xiaoyu was also looking at her.

Ziying had a round face, big round eyes and a little baby fat. She should not have been so round before she entered Hongxiufang. After being raised in Hongxiufang for a year, she actually gained weight.

Ziying has grown up now. Her round face has become an oval one, but her eyes have not changed much. Her skin is a little rough, her hair is disheveled and she wears linen clothes, but her color is still about 70% of her original color.

She is considered the village beauty among the village beauties.

“We are just an honest family of farmers, how can we have any big enemies?” Just like before, Ziying was very talkative. She praised Xiaoyu and immediately said, “But you came to the house silently in the middle of the night and called my name. I thought it was a mountain spirit or a wild monster, calling my soul outside the house!
Hehehe, our Dujiazhuang is not as peaceful as Tianmen Town.

The valley is a bit remote, and dirty things often come out of the mountains to harm people.

However, I am not afraid of them.

Not only do I remember the Kung Fu you taught me, I have also never stopped practicing it.

Now, when I sit, lie down or walk, my true Qi automatically circulates throughout the body.

If I stay in Yingxiang Mansion, I will definitely be able to become a ‘Sword Fairy’ who slays demons and monsters like Yutong and the others, hahaha~~~”

“Ziying, is our benefactor here? It’s dark and cold outside. Please invite him into the house.” Her husband had already put on his clothes and walked to the door holding an oil lamp and shouted.

“Oh, I was confused. I was so busy talking that I forgot how to entertain guests.”

Ziying slapped her forehead and immediately pulled Xiaoyu into the main room.

As soon as she entered the house and sat down, her husband knelt in front of her and kowtowed to her.

Xiao Yu quickly stood up and stopped him, saying, “Brother, why do you have to do this? Ziying and I have known each other since childhood, and it is only natural for us to show respect to each other, but how can I afford such a big gift from you?”

“Brother Shan” said seriously: “Miss Yu, you don’t know how much kindness you have bestowed on my wife and me, but I can’t forget it. You are fully worthy of these heads!”

Ziying also stopped smiling and said seriously: “Xiao Fengxian, I know you don’t care about these empty formalities, but please sit down first and let my wife and I kowtow to you three times, and then I will slowly explain it to you.”

She pushed Xiaoyu back onto the bamboo chair, knelt down side by side with her man, and kowtowed three times respectfully.

After knocking, both of them had smiles on their faces, as if some invisible pressure on their bodies had suddenly been removed, and they felt a lot more relaxed.

“Oh, I forgot about Damei and Heiwa. They also have to kowtow!” Shan Ge got up and walked into the house.

Xiao Yu stopped him again and said helplessly: “The children are all asleep, why are you bowing your head!

Besides, I’m just here to visit Ziying today, not to say goodbye to her forever.

I can come here today, and I will come again in two years. “

“Then…” Brother Shan looked around, his expression a little awkward, “Miss Yu, you talk to Ziying, I’ll go to the kitchen and make you a pot of hot tea.”

Xiaoyu didn’t stop him this time.

“I originally planned to come to see you in the afternoon and have dinner at your house! But I spent a long time talking with Doctor Min at noon, and when I came over, it was almost dark.” She smiled at Ziying.

“Oh, you haven’t eaten yet~~~”

Ziying had already moved a chair and sat next to her, but she jumped up immediately after hearing that.

“Hey, stop making trouble.” Xiao Yu pulled her back, “I started fasting a few years ago. I said I was going to have dinner, but I just wanted to chat with you. It doesn’t matter what you eat or whether you eat or not.”

“You have already practiced fasting. Have you become an immortal?” Ziying’s eyes sparkled, just like before, full of pure curiosity and expectation. “Not yet. I don’t think highly of you if you become an ordinary ‘loose immortal’. To become an immortal, you must be a celestial immortal.”

“Xiao Fengxian, you are so awesome!” Ziying said with admiration.

“I think you are more amazing.” Xiao Yu’s eyes were complicated. “You have seen prosperity, but you still have the same original intention. Now you can be content with the ordinary life.”

Before coming to find Ziying, she must have asked Yutong and the others about Ziying’s situation.

Otherwise she wouldn’t have been able to find this small ravine.

Ziying was sold from Dujiazhuang. That “Shan Ge” was her childhood sweetheart.

The wound on Shan Ge’s knee was left when he saved Xiao Ziying from a wolf’s bite in his early years.

Ziying entered Hongxiufang that year and had been saving money ever since.

At that time, Xiaoyu thought that she was not wrong to save money for her family, as Ziying’s mother was still alive.

Ziying used the small change that she sent to the village to support her mother and to treat her brother Shan’s leg disease.

Her brother Shan didn’t spend a penny and kept saving to redeem her.

Three years after the incident at Yingxiang Mansion, Aunt Liu kept her promise and released the aging Ziying. The money Shan Ge saved became the “down payment” for the three blue brick and tile houses.

Ziying didn’t take a penny of the money that Xiaoyu left for the girls in Hongxiufang.

After she was freed, she left all her jewelry and clothes at the Yufengxian Charity Fund, saying that she wanted to save more girls from the fire pit. She immediately returned to Dujiazhuang with a package and married her brother Shan that month.

The couple worked hard for another two years before they finally built the house.

When Yutong came to Dujiazhuang to visit the pregnant Ziying for the first time, they were still living in a thatched hut!

Ziying was stunned for a while before she smiled and said, “Did Yutong and the others tell you about me and Brother Shan?
Alas, I am different from them.

They couldn’t find their parents.

When I went to Hongxiufang, I was quite old and could already remember things. “

She leaned towards Xiaoyu and whispered in her ear, “After I was sold to Hongxiufang, my lifelong dream was to return to Dujiazhuang in the next life, meet Shan Ge again, and marry him in the next life.

Hehe, in the end I don’t have to wait until the next life, Xiao Fengxian, you helped me fulfill the dream of two lifetimes.

What else do you think I am not satisfied with?
Tianmen Town is indeed prosperous.

But the most prosperous place in Tianmen Town is the Qingshui Bay where we always wanted to escape, and it is Hongxiufang!”

Xiaoyu nodded gently, “What you like most is the best. You are right.”

Ziying and “Du Qingshan” (Shang Ge) are not newlyweds.

They have been married for several years, and the “big sister” is almost four years old (in lunar age), and can carry a small bottle to the village entrance to buy soy sauce. Ziying’s eyes still have clear happiness, not numbness and resentment, which shows that she is living a happy life.

This is enough.

“Yutong and the others have changed their names, why are you still called ‘Ziying’?” she asked curiously.

Ziying said: “I think you all remember me, always remember me.

Anyway, everyone in Dujiazhuang knows what I’ve been through, and Shan Ge and I don’t care.”

After a pause, she grinned again, “Besides, my original name is too ugly. My mother still calls me ‘Ya Dan Er’! I asked her to call me ‘Zi Ying’, but she said it was hard to pronounce and she couldn’t change it.”

Chatting with Ziying is more relaxing than chatting with Widow Huang about family matters.

Xiaoyu talked to her for most of the night.

During this period, Shan Ge brought tea and pastries several times – red date rice cakes that he made and steamed freshly.

Knowing that Xiaoyu had not had dinner yet, he cooked another pot of noodle soup and put pickled garlic sprouts and bacon in it. It tasted pretty good. Xiaoyu ate two large bowls and Ziying also ate a bowl.

Brother Shan is not a “househusband”. In the past, Ziying was still responsible for the meals at home.

But Shan Ge’s life was more miserable than Ziying’s. His parents died early, so he could only learn to cook early. Ziying’s life was also miserable. The two were equally miserable. Ziying’s father fell ill and passed away, leaving behind a “huge debt” of 1 tael and 7 qian of silver.

Xiao Ziying was taken away to pay off her debts, and I cried until my eyes went blind.

While Xiaoyu and Ziying were talking in the main room, Shan Ge stayed in the small kitchen outside and did not go back to sleep.

Both women behaved very naturally because they both understood that tonight was not the norm and there was no need to be polite.

At midnight, Xiaoyu stood up and said, “Let Shan go back to sleep, and we’ll go out for a walk.”

Ziying asked in confusion, “What’s outside in the middle of the night? If you’re tired, I’ll make a quilt for you in the side room. You can meditate and rest if you don’t want to sleep.”

Xiao Yu smiled and said, “I want to test whether your swordsmanship has improved in the past few years.”

Under the dim yellow light, Ziying looked a little dazed.

Back then in Hongxiufang, Xiao Fengxian would check her homework every time she returned to Hongxiufang.

For a moment, she seemed to be back in Xiaojingxuan.

“Okay, let’s go to the back mountain.”

Two quarters of an hour later, at the edge of the bamboo forest on the back mountain, Xiaoyu sat cross-legged beside the fire. Ziying sheathed her sword and wiped the sweat off her face with her sleeves, smiling, “It should be better than you thought, right?”

“It’s much better than the expected ‘Village Woman Ziying’. It seems that you haven’t neglected your swordsmanship in the past few years after getting married.” Xiaoyu nodded.

Ziying made a childish pouting motion just like she did back then, “Only better than ‘Village Woman Ziying’? My inner strength and swordsmanship have reached perfection. I also circulate Tai Chi Changchun Qi while walking, sitting or lying down.

Cutting vegetables and cooking, chopping wood and feeding pigs, plowing fields and harvesting wheat are all integrated into the “Hu Cao Sword Technique”.

Sometimes I go up the mountain with Brother Shan to hunt wild boars and wolves.

We killed four mountain spirits and wild monsters alone!”
