Chapter 876 It would be strange if you weren’t anxious

Liu Shan coughed lightly and advised, "The villagers have nothing to do all day, so it's inevitable that they'll be a bit talkative. Don't bother with them."

"I care?" Xi Lin laughed angrily, "It's obviously their words that are not kind, why are you so unreasonable?"

Hearing this, Liu Shan's eyes flashed, and he whispered, "Although their words are unpleasant to the ear, they are still..."

Before he could finish his words, Xi Lin glared at him and said loudly, "Hurry up and eat when you wake up. You have to go out and look for someone later."

A passing lady was attracted by the commotion and asked in surprise, "Dashan, do you have guests at home?"

Liu Shan nodded and greeted, "Third Aunt, you're back so early."

"What's so early?" Third Aunt waved her hand. "Almost everyone in the village has returned. Your sister-in-law is worried about her family, so she took you brothers to visit relatives."

As she spoke, she walked closer. When her eyes fell on Xi Lin, the smile on her face became even wider. "This young man is really handsome. He looks unfamiliar. Is he from the village nearby?"

Thinking of something, she clapped her hands and said, "How old are you this year? You haven't gotten married yet, right? My aunt's family has a niece who is as beautiful as a fairy."

Xi Lin's mouth twitched, and he opened his mouth to scold someone.

Liu Shan hurriedly said, "Aunt, my brother has already married."

"Ah?" Third Aunt's eyes were filled with regret. She looked Xi Lin up and down and said, "I see that this little brother has delicate skin and tender flesh. It's obvious that he comes from a well-off family. He wouldn't mind having another concubine, right?

I tell you, marrying just one capable man is not enough. Having an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks at home means having another person to love. What a good deal!

As she spoke more and more outrageously, Liu Shan suppressed the urge to roll his eyes and quickly said, "Don't worry about it, Third Aunt. This young man has three wives and four concubines, so he has no shortage of women around him."

Xi Lin, who suddenly had three wives and four concubines: "..."

For his innocence, he fought with this big stupid guy!

Before Xi Lin could speak, Liu Shan pointed at Song Yanxi standing next to him and said, "This girl is the sixteenth concubine that my brother is planning to marry."

Third Aunt opened her mouth wide, "Sixteenth room?"

She counted on her fingers, shook her head like a rattle, and muttered, "Mom, with so many wives, their bodies must be as tattered as loofahs.

No wonder his face is so pale, he doesn't look like someone who will live a long life. I can't have a niece like that."

The voice was not loud, but extremely insulting.

Xi Lin's eyes widened, and he wished he could rush forward and tear her apart.

He is only twenty years old, in the prime of his life, strong and healthy, and he enjoys eating everything!

This auntie just opened her mouth and wanted to put the word "xu" on his head?

She can't even think about it!

"Auntie, what are you saying..."

Xi Lin had just finished questioning when Liu Shan covered his mouth.

The third aunt asked in confusion: "Dashan, what did this little brother just say?"

Liu Shan grinned and said, "My brother praised your beauty, saying that you have sufficient energy and blood, and you look healthy."

The Third Aunt slapped her thigh and said, "Young people still have good taste. To be honest, I am famous for my good health in this area.

When I gave birth to my fourth child, I got up within an hour and started cooking for the whole family."

Knowing she would never stop talking, Liu Shan glanced outside and said, "Why do I think I saw Brother Daqing?"

The third aunt turned around and said angrily, "This Daqing, we asked him to go back to his parents' home with his wife, but he actually dared to sneak back.

When I catch him, I'll break his legs."

She took a few quick steps, then thought of something. She turned her head and looked at Liu Shan, and said in a complicated way, "Dashan, we are all honest farmers. Don't bring anyone home from now on.

How can a man who can marry 10 or 20 wives be any good?"

Seeing Xi Lin's mouth covered by Liu Shan, Third Aunt snorted coldly, "He's so young and can't control himself. Sooner or later, he'll die in a woman's bed."

She threw these words and turned away, with a look of disgust in her eyes, as if she had seen something dirty.

From childhood to adulthood, Xi Lin has never been the enchanted one, but he is still the pampered one in the whole family. When he travels outside, no one dares to mess with him as long as he reveals his name.

When had he ever suffered such injustice?

Seeing the Third Aunt twisting her waist and walking further away, he exerted force, pushed Liu Shan's hand away, and said through gritted teeth: "I will fight you!"

Liu Shan quickly turned his head away and said angrily, "Little brother, how can you be so ungrateful? I'm doing this for your own good."

He glanced outside the door and lowered his voice, "That aunt's niece is a fool who only knows how to run home on rainy days. She's also tall and strong.

I guess three of you wouldn't be enough to beat her niece."

When Xi Lin heard the second half of the sentence, the touch of emotion that had originally arisen in his heart disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Sure enough, he shouldn't have expected anything!

Seeing him turn his head and walk away with a dark face, Liu Shan scratched his head, looked at Song Yanxi and asked: "Big sister, what's wrong with him?"

Song Yanxi said calmly: "Maybe he's hungry."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xi Lin's voice came from afar, "Hurry up and eat, or the food will get cold later."

Hearing this, Liu Shan chuckled and said, "Sister, you guessed it right."

*

With the help of Liu Shan, a local, Song Yanxi and Xi Lin searched faster.

In the morning, they had passed through three villages and headed straight to Dawangzhuang, which was located by the river.

Although Liu Shan had a limp in one leg, he walked with great vigor and left the two behind him several times.

Noticing that his pace had slowed down, Song Yanxi offered to take a rest.

She apologized, "Brother Liu, I'm sorry, I was too impatient."

Liu Shan waved his hand and said, "It's okay. The missing person is your fiancé. It would be strange if you weren't anxious."

He leaned against a nearby tree stump, stretching his aching leg, and said with a wry smile, "My leg is failing me, and I'm holding you back."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xi Lin opened the kettle and handed it to him, saying, "You are here to help. Even if we are ungrateful, we can't say such heartless words."

Liu Shan smiled heartily, "Thank you, brother."

He took a few gulps from the kettle, then handed it to Xi Lin and said, "You should drink a few sips too. We'll have to practice drinking when we get to Dawang Village."

Xi Lin squinted his eyes and smiled, "What did you do to offend the whole village?"

Liu Shan's eyes darkened, and he slowly lowered his head. "Seventy-four people from several villages joined the army back then, and I was the only one who came back alive."

Xi Lin's expression suddenly changed.

He glanced at Song Yanxi and asked, "Were you affiliated with the Border Army or the Southern Zhen Army?"

Liu Shan suddenly looked up at him, eyes full of astonishment, "Little brother, you actually know about the Zhennan Army."

Xi Lin nodded. "From the way you walk, I can tell the injury on your leg must be an old one. Who is General Xu Xiao to you?"

Hearing the familiar name, Liu Shan's eyes instantly became more alert.

Song Yanxi explained, "Brother Liu, you may not know this, but my family and Uncle Xu are old friends."

"Old friend?" Liu Shan frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.

His inquiring gaze fell on Song Yanxi, and then he looked at Xi Lin beside him.

After a while, he asked in a muffled voice, "Sister, should I call you Princess Yong'an?"
