Chapter 492(1/2)
That night, Su Xueyun heard that Li Xiner had rescued a man from the mountain, and instantly understood Li Xiner's thoughts. She couldn't help laughing, curious whether this trick would be as Li Xiner expected. After all,... the ancients were really not as stupid as Li Xiner imagined.
Li Xiner is a time traveler full of fantasy. After she brought the injured man home, she immediately played the role of a poor man who was sold to others as a communist wife. Not only did she bow down to the three brothers of the Liang family, but she also kept looking for work all day long, making herself look very tired and hard. However, she did not forget to take care of the injured man carefully, care about him, secretly ate eggs for him, and find a way to hide copper plates when selling tofu to buy medicine for him, as if she had to do her best to cure him.
Li Xiner did a good job. At least the man who was "rescued" by her really felt a little sympathetic to her. Especially after seeing Liang Cheng lose his temper with Li Xiner, and Liang Lao San both ignored her, the man couldn't help asking her, "Did I cause trouble for you? Have you told them that I'm just staying for a while? I'll pay the money."
Li Xiner hurriedly said, "I said, don't worry, it's okay. They... They just have a weird temper, they won't... They won't make things difficult for me... I know you must be a very capable person. I am trapped here and cannot get out of it, but I don't want anyone to suffer as much as I do, so I want to help you and get out of the predicament."
Li Xiner lowered her head and said even more hoarsely: "I was sold here, and I will be my wife for them, so... so the people in the village also have some bad views on me. Don't go out until your injury is healed, so as not to take your anger out of you because of me."
The man frowned and said, "Rare you angry? Have you done anything bad?"
"No, really not." Li Xiner immediately shook her head, hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's the Su family, a rich family in the village. The daughter of the Su family likes Liang Cheng. She thinks I took Liang Cheng away, so she has been targeting me. Their family is the richest in the village, and everyone helps her, so I don't live a good life in the village, except for work."
Li Xiner forced a smile, held back her tears and said, "If possible, I really hope my father sold me to another place, and everything is good, at least it won't be like this, and was replaced by a wild boar here, and suffered humiliation." She turned her head and wiped the corners of her eyes, and smiled reluctantly, "I'm sorry, I don't want to say these things, but there has never been a trusted person to listen to me. I have been holding it in my heart for a long time, and I couldn't help but say a few more words for a while. It must be very long-winded, right?"
The man shook his head, thought for a while, and said, "My name is Luo Yi. I don't have much money on me now. I can only trouble you first. I said I will repay you. After I get ready, I will help you redeem yourself. Then you can get out of here."
"Really?!" Li Xiner raised her head in surprise, "Can I really leave here? I will not be called like a slave in the future, nor will I be bullied by a rich lady?"
"No, I can give you a house and let you live a stable life. If you hadn't saved me, I might have died of blood. You are my benefactor." Luo Yi said sincerely. He always respected his benefactor.
Li Xiner felt nervous, afraid that he would ask about the day, so she stood up and said, "It's a simple task, Brother Yi, don't take it seriously, as long as you can take me away." She helped Luo Yi lie down, covered him with a quilt and smiled, "I'll go cook first, they will definitely scold you if you cook late, you can rest first."
Luo Yi nodded, and after she left, she closed her eyes and rested, but she always felt something was wrong. When he recalled the experiences of the past few days after the trouble, he suddenly realized that Li Xiner's hands were very smooth and her skin was white and tender. Will this be the case with a bullied woman who worked all day?
Luo Yi sat up and looked out, frowned. He couldn't remember what the rough girl at home looked like, but the soldiers who were trained in the military camp would have their skin tanned. Although Li Xiner was not as tired as soldiers, she was always there and could not be so white and tender!
But this has nothing to do with him. That day, he did see a woman rescue him from the trap in a daze. Later, when he woke up, he saw Li Xiner there. He also saw Li Xiner scolded by Boss Liang, knowing that the women here never went deep into the mountains. If Li Xiner hadn't been lost and just happened to meet him, he might have died. So he didn't care whether Li Xiner really worked all day long. As long as he knew that Li Xiner had saved him, the way he wanted was to leave the Liang family and leave this village, and no longer be bullied by the three brothers of the Liang family and the lady of the Su family.
At least the bad attitude of the three brothers of the Liang family towards her in the past few days is not fake. They have no such kind of intimacy between them, and Li Xiner is not a lie to him.
Luo Yi was so recuperating from the Liang family. Li Zheng came to see him with the village doctor and asked about his identity. Luo Yi casually made up a background and pretended to be a rich young master who lost in the mountains. He also promised to give the Liang family fifty taels of silver as a thank you after contacting his family. Therefore, the three brothers of the Liang family did not drive him away, so Li Zheng naturally would not give any advice and cut off the wealth.
Two months later, Luo Yi was able to walk freely. He was about to go to the town and find a way to contact his own people.
Li Xiner looked at him worriedly at the door, "Brother Yi, you won't never come back, are you?"
Luo Yi shook his head and said, "No, I remember that I promised you."
"I don't mean that, I just... just..." Li Xiner's cheeks were blushing, and she lowered her head and sounded like a mosquito gnaw. "It's nothing, be careful."
Luo Yi was silent for a moment and replied: "Okay."
Li Xiner kept standing at the gate and watching Luo Yi's back disappear. She was so excited that she was about to leave this broken village and became excited.
Liang Cheng walked behind her with a cane, and suddenly twitched her leg with a cane and said gloomyly: "What? I can't bear to leave? You bitch! Why didn't you see you so careful when I broke my legs? Well? I am your man, you don't take good care of me, and I'm at home all day, which makes me not well raised until now. What about him? What is he? He is just a stranger from outside. You are as thoughtful as a humble maid. Seeing his steadily now, do you want to run away with him?"
Li Xiner fell to the ground, covering her legs and her face pale, "I didn't. I'm for the fifty taels of silver. Our family lacks money. And he got better quickly because he was in good health. He must have been a soldier. Even the doctor said that he recovered quickly, and it had nothing to do with me."
"Really? You didn't want to go with him?" Liang Cheng snorted coldly, "Even if you think about it, don't forget that your contract for sale is now in my hands. I abandoned Xiu'er for you, lost such a good girl, and my legs were broken. You will never pay the rest of your life. Remember, don't want to run away. You have to try it together because I have suffered a lot."
Li Xiner looked at Liang Cheng limping back to the house, lowering her head to cover her face full of gloom. She used to love Liang Cheng, and now she hates Liang Cheng now. Liang Cheng is simply a devil! Fortunately, she is about to leave. Before leaving, she must let the two brothers and Su Xueyun get into trouble. Li Xiner got up and walked back to the house quickly. She had to think about how to tell Luo Yi that if she had any dissatisfaction during this period, it was that Luo Yi was very cold to her and had no intention of falling in love with her at all. Maybe it was because she had a husband now, it didn't matter. She was free immediately. Luo Yi would take good care of her benefactor, and she would seize the opportunity to become Mrs. Luo.
Luo Yi had never thought about these romantic things. After he arrived in the town, he went straight to the Qiu family, but called the door through the back door. He took the jade pendant as a token, and the servant asked Mr. Qiu for instructions and took him to the study.
When you go to the study from the back door, you will pass by the small garden. Luo Yi followed the servant and watched a girl flying a kite with Qiu Heng from a distance. The two were talking and laughing, and looked very close. Luo Yi subconsciously stopped and asked in confusion: "Who is that?"
The servant smiled and said, "Young Master Luo, that is Miss Su from Su Ji. The little master likes to eat what Miss Su makes, and Miss Su often comes."
"Miss Su family?" Luo Yi was a little surprised and couldn't understand why a village girl who was supposed to be in Yunshui Village had such a close relationship with the young master of the Qiu family. However, he still had some serious work to do, so he didn't stay any longer and went to the study with the servant.
Luo Yi and Mr. Qiu talked in the study for two hours, and it was already evening when they came out.
The servant came forward to report, "Master, the little master kept Miss Su for dinner together. Su suddenly wanted to eat the snacks made by Miss Su. Now Miss Su has just finished cooking and asked if you want to eat together."
Mr. Qiu smiled and stroked his beard, saying, "This brat really treats Xiu Meitu as his own person. I don't know how to treat Xiu Meitu at all. Yizhi, Xiu Meitu's skills are usually not something you can taste. Today, you have a good taste, let's eat together."
Luo Yizhi responded happily and said curiously: "I wonder who this Miss Su is, how can Mr. Qiu and his little master like it so much?"
Mr. Qiu smiled and said, "You will know when you see her. Xiu Meitou is different from an ordinary girl. She has helped me a lot. Heng'er can now be as strong as a calf and depends entirely on Miss Su's skills. She can also persuade Heng'er to study. If she is a man, I will definitely recruit her as an aide."
"That's indeed extraordinary. It's my honor to meet him today." Luo Yizhi felt that this Miss Su might not be the same as the lady Li Xiner mentioned, otherwise the gap would be too big, and he would never doubt Mr. Qiu's vision.
When the two arrived at the dining room, Su Xueyun and Qiu Heng were already sitting at the table. Luo Yizhi suddenly felt very familiar when he saw Su Xueyun, as if Su Xueyun had left a deep impression on him. He frowned slightly and took the lead in salute to Qiu Heng, "San Gongzi, please."
Qiu Heng nodded politely and smiled, "Brother Luo, don't be too polite. I've practiced all the kung fu you taught me. Now that you are here, you can test me."
Luo Yizhi smiled and looked at Qiu Heng carefully, and found that he was really strong, with a smile on his face, and his eyes were full of spirit, which was much better than when he left Beijing. Luo Yizhi turned to see Su Xueyun, unable to believe that all this was brought by her.
Su Xueyun was a little surprised when she met Luo Yizhi's gaze. She didn't expect Luo Yizhi would be a friend of the Qiu family. If she had known it, she would have saved the person to the end, at least she could have healed one month in advance. However, she didn't think much about what had passed. She smiled at Mr. Qiu and said, "Mr. Heng wants to eat these side dishes, so I made some for him. I didn't expect that there would be guests here, so I won't disturb you."
Mr. Qiu waved his hand and smiled, "It's okay, everyone is not an outsider, sit down and eat together. However, don't mention the matter about Yizhi after you go out, just pretend that you haven't seen him before."
Su Xueyun nodded and smiled, "I understand."
The four of them had dinner together. Luo Yizhi kept observing Su Xueyun secretly. Seeing that she naturally picked up the dishes he liked for Qiu Heng, she looked very familiar, and she might not be able to make it if she wasn't really. This made him even more curious about Su Xueyun, and he also wanted to know where his familiarity with Su Xueyun came from.
After dinner, Mr. Qiu stayed Luo Yizhi to stay. Luo Yizhi said that there was still something wrong in the village that had not been resolved, so he borrowed some money from Mr. Qiu and planned to leave. Su Xueyun was about to leave, so Luo Yizhi waited for her in the alley outside for a moment, stopping her from asking about her doubts.
"Miss Su, have we seen it somewhere?"
Su Xueyun shook her head, "No."
Luo Yizhi looked at Su Xueyun's face carefully, frowned slightly and tried hard to recall it. He always felt that he had a clue, but he could not think of anything.
Su Xueyun said lightly: "Mr. Luo, please be honest. It's rude to see a girl like this. I don't think I've done anything to offend you."
"Sorry." Luo Yizhi looked elsewhere, thought for a while, and asked, "I heard that the richest family in Yunshui Village is also surnamed Su. Does Miss Su have anything to do with the Su family in Yunshui Village?"
"That's my family. If you want to ask me if I'm Miss Su who has a grudge against Li Xiner, yes, I'm." Su Xueyun's expression was faint, and she casually answered Luo Yizhi's doubts.
"How do you know I want to ask this?"
"Because your name is Luo Yizhi, and the person Li Xiner rescued is Luo Yi, it is easy to think of it." Su Xueyun smiled slightly and looked at him and said, "You ask me these things must be because I am different from what you hear, right? You don't need to say that I also want to get it. Li Xiner will frame me if she has the chance. She feels that she has found a backer with an identity, so she wants you to help her take revenge on me. Am I right?"
Luo Yizhi shook his head, "She never said that she would ask me to take revenge on anyone. Miss Su, you misunderstood. It seems that there are really many conflicts between you. But this has nothing to do with me. You are the person recognized by Mr. Qiu and the third young master, so it will not be an enemy. Even if Li Xiner really asked me to take revenge on you, I would not do it."
"This is the best. I have told her a long time ago that I don't care about what she did before. Everyone can live their own lives without plaguing the river. But if she still wants to cause trouble for me, I hope you really won't interfere." Su Xueyun originally planned to tell the story of saving people that day, but just now she saw Luo Yizhi's attitude towards Qiu Heng, and she suddenly realized that the identity of the grandparents and grandchildren of the Qiu family might be higher than she thought, so they were all in trouble. She should keep a distance from each of them. After all, she is a village girl in this life.
Su Xueyun left after saying that. Luo Yizhi did not stop him anymore. He felt that some things were different from his thoughts, and he had not had the chance to understand them yet, so what he said is wrong now. It would be better to wait until he understands them. In the past, he thought that as long as he repays his benefactor, the past life of his benefactor had nothing to do with him, but now he found that Li Xiner might be full of lies, so it is hard to say what happened to this benefactor. He remembered that when he woke up, he seemed to be holding Li Xiner's hand on his waist, and his jade pendant was hanging there!
Luo Yizhi narrowed his eyes and thought a lot in his mind. He did not have the anger of being deceived, but felt an inexplicable relaxation. Maybe it was because Li Xiner's disgusting ambiguity towards him that made him feel a bit stressed. Now that he knows that Li Xiner is lying to him, he naturally doesn't need to take any responsibility, but before that, he must figure out what is going on.
Luo Yizhi bought a car of things and returned to the Liang family. In front of the villagers watching the fun, he gave Li Xiner fifty taels of silver. The villagers were in an uproar and they all talked about Li Xiner's luck. Even if they got lost, they could pick up a young master. Luo Yizhi stood in the yard and greeted the three brothers of the Liang family, paying attention to the people's discussions, and confirmed that Li Xiner's words were true, because no one said anything good to Li Xiner from beginning to end.
After a while, everyone left, Luo Yizhi said to the three brothers of the Liang family: "My injury has almost healed. I have disturbed you during this period. If you have any other requests, you can ask me to see if I can help."
Boss Liang shook his head and said, "These thank-you gifts are enough, and we didn't do anything."
Seeing that Luo Yizhi was not mentioning taking her away for a long time, Li Xiner couldn't help but wink at him frequently. Until Boss Liang said that she was going to rest very late, she finally became anxious and did not dare to question him on the spot. She had to wait for everyone to fall asleep and quietly run into Luo Yizhi's room.
Luo Yizhi turned over and sat up, saw that it was her, and asked, "Is there anything wrong with this late?"
Li Xiner said anxiously: "Brother Yi, why didn't you tell them that you redeem me for taking me away? Have you regretted it?"
Luo Yizhi shook his head, "No, I will leave tomorrow. Is there anything else?"
"Tomorrow? Tomorrow says it's OK. I'm too anxious to get rid of them. Then I'll pack my clothes tonight." Li Xiner felt relieved and thought that she was about to leave. She asked tentatively, "Brother Yi, after I was sold here, the three of them have been enslaving me, and Su Xiu'er. She always sowed the disagreement in the village and framed me, causing me to be beaten for thirty boards. Brother Yi, can you... teach them a lesson for me?"
Luo Yizhi raised his eyebrows, wrapped his hands around his chest and remained silent.
Li Xiner hurriedly said, "I don't want to do anything to them, but I just want to teach them a little lesson so that they dare not harm others again in the future. Otherwise, people like me may be bullied by them in the future. I don't want anyone to suffer like me again."
Luo Yizhi remembered Su Xueyun's words. Su Xueyun said that she would not care about the past, which means that Li Xiner did something wrong before. Su Xueyun also said that Li Xiner must want to take revenge on her, but now Li Xiner has expressed the word "learning". No matter what the truth is, from the contact with them alone, Su Xueyun appears even more open and honest, while Li Xiner seems to be a villain who harms others behind their backs.
Luo Yizhi frowned and said, "It's getting late, let's talk about these things tomorrow."
Li Xiner was not sure what he meant, so she didn't dare to say anything more. She went back to the house after caring for a few words. Luo Yizhi lay on the bed and thought for a while, and felt more and more that there might be something wrong with Li Xiner's words, but it was a fact that he was recuperating in the Liang family during this period, so this reward should still be given.
After Luo Yizi fell asleep, he dreamed of Su Xueyun in a trance, and dreamed that he fell into a trap and was rescued by a woman. He wanted to do something vigilantly, but was knocked unconscious by the woman. The woman's face slowly overlapped with Su Xueyun's face, and it was not inconsistent. He woke up suddenly.
Yes, it should be that kind of calm woman who can do that. Li Xiner is as timid as a mouse and screams at any time. How could she rescue him? And when she thinks about it carefully, Li Xiner has a little troubles in carrying water. How did she carry him into the cave? He remembers that the back was burning with pain when he woke up, so the most likely thing is that he was dragged into the cave and Li Xiner was lying!
Luo Yizhi sneered, shook his head and cursed himself for being stupid. After being injured, he was even weaker in his vigilance. It seems that even in the village, there are many scheming people who want to plot against him.
The next morning, Luo Yizhi told them that Li Xiner hoped to redeem her and leave while the three brothers of the Liang family were at home. Boss Liang was a little surprised, but he did not stop him at all. "I used a wild boar to exchange her for her, but later she treated her illness and raised her body for a while. Now if she redeems her, she will be worth ten taels of silver."
Li Xiner raised her heart and felt that it was a bit too much, but when it came to the price reduction, it seemed that she was not worth so much money, and she didn't want to. She looked at Luo Yizhi and thought that this person definitely didn't care about ten taels of silver. After thinking about it this way, she let go and looked at it quietly.
Luo Yizhi saw that Liang Lao San seemed to be relieved, as if he didn't want this wife at all, and asked, "Ten taels of silver, she has nothing to do with you?"
Liang Laosan coughed twice and said, "No matter what the reason you redeem for her, there is one thing I think I need to make clear. Although I bought her back and was the communal wife for our three brothers, she didn't want to, and we never forced her..."
"Brother Third, don't talk about the past!" Li Xiner sat upright and looked at Liang Laosan's eyes full of begging.
Liang Laosan didn't look at her, "Young Master Luo, Li Xiner has never been to us, nor has she ever had a marriage letter, so my elder brother and I have nothing to do with her. But once my second brother got drunk and Li Xiner went to take care of him, and they had the reality of being a husband and wife. You can treat her as my second brother's wife."
Li Xiner's face turned pale, she looked at Luo Yi carefully and said, "It's my request to leave. You also said that I don't want to do it, so I want to redeem myself. There are many unhappy things between us, and probably no one wants to see anyone. It just so happened that I left and it is good for everyone."
Liang Cheng suddenly slapped the table and stared at Luo Yizhi and said, "No, I won't let her redeem her. She is my woman. She broke my legs. Now that I have sex with the rich young master, I want to leave? How can I do that? Mr. Luo will definitely not want a married husband, right?"
Seeing that Luo Yizhi didn't speak, Li Xiner hurriedly said, "Liang Cheng, you have a little conscience. If your leg is broken, you should go to settle the score with the Su family. What does it have to do with me? You are bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. The third brother said just now that we have no marriage letter, we are not husband and wife. We are ten taels of silver to exchange for body contracts. If you want to marry anyone in the future, you can go to find your Miss Su!"
Liang Cheng sneered and looked at her mockingly, "Isn't it a husband and wife? Didn't you always say that we were husband and wife, and told others not to destroy our relationship? Why do you say that we are not husband and wife again? Can this be changed at will?"
Luo Yizhi looked at Liang Cheng's appearance and really couldn't imagine that Su Xueyun would like him. These two people were not worthy of each other. If they were to say that they were worthy, Li Xiner and Liang Cheng were more worthy. Moreover, from their conversations, he had guessed that Li Xiner and Liang Cheng betrayed Su Xiu'er, and then Liang Cheng was broken by the Su family. Now Li Xiner left herself to leave Yunshui Village, probably because she saw that he had a special identity and wanted to climb high branches, which was no different from those maids in the mansion who wanted to climb into bed.
Luo Yizhi glanced at Li Xiner and said in a deep voice: "I promised to take you away because I said I would repay my kindness. Did you save me in the mountains that day?"
Li Xiner was stunned for a moment and nodded, "Yes, Brother Yi, I also said that you don't have to always say that you want to repay your kindness. I just need to leave here."
Luo Yizhi said in a deep voice: "Where did you rescue me? Where was I when you saw me?"
Li Xiner's heart skipped a beat and she stammered: "In... not far outside the cave, your leg was injured at that time. I, I carried you to the cave and bandaged it..."
To be continued...
