Leaving the village chief's house, Han Yuan sighed. Most of the people in their village were grave keepers who had lived here for generations.

The village has a history of two to three hundred years since its establishment. At that time, the people of Sakura Country heard the rumor that there was an elixir of life in this tomb from somewhere.

They brought many people here and killed many villagers. Fortunately, they were rescued by the Dragon Kingdom army passing by at the time. Otherwise, it is hard to say whether these people can still survive.

However, since that incident, the village has had an unwritten rule that outsiders are not allowed to stay in the village, for fear of further chaos.

After returning home, Han Yuan gave He Rongxuan a few words of advice. In fact, even if he didn't say it, He Rongxuan couldn't leave the Han family's yard due to his current condition.

The purpose of giving these instructions is just to make things more stable.

Although He Rongxuan was somewhat curious about why the village did not allow outsiders to take in, he saw that Han Yuan was not prepared to say more, so he was not interested and did not ask any more questions.

After Choi Myung-soo and Han Xue picked the wild flowers, they went back to Han's house together. Han Xue originally wanted to go to Choi's house, but Choi Myung-soo persuaded her to go back to her own house.

As soon as he entered the yard, Cui Mingxiu couldn't help but look towards the room where He Rongxuan lived.

Unfortunately, He Rongxuan was resting at that time, so the door was tightly closed.

The warmth in the mountains did not know that her man had been coveted by a yellow-haired girl.

Han Xueyuan was a little confused as to why Choi Myeong-soo was acting strange today, until she saw Choi Myeong-soo staring at the brother's door, then she realized what was going on.

"Mingxiu, come out with me!"

"Ah? What's wrong? Xiaoxue...slow down!"

After being pulled out of the door by Han Xue, Cui Mingxiu finally broke free from her grip and said with some unhappiness in his heart:

"Xiaoxue, you're pulling me so hard that it hurts. What are you doing?"

"Mingxiu, tell me, have you seen Brother Xiao?"

"What...what are you talking about! What can you see and what can't you see?"

Although Cui Mingxiu denied it, her red face betrayed her inner thoughts.

Han Xue sighed and warned:

"Mingxiu, girls in our village don't marry outside the family. Besides, Auntie has already arranged a date for you."

"Why should I listen to others about my own marriage? I want to do it myself and don't want to be arranged by my mother!"

"But my brother already has a wife! You can't put your thoughts in the wrong place!"

"Has a wife? How is that possible? Didn't you say he missed her? How can you be sure he has a wife?"

"I...I don't know, it was Grandpa who guessed it, but no matter what, you and my brother are not suitable!"

"Xiaoxue, I'm already eighteen years old. I know what I should do. Do you want to be trapped in this mountain ravine for the rest of your life?"

“But…but…”

"Okay, there's no buts. I know what I'm going to do. You don't have to worry. No matter what, I'm going to work hard for myself!"

"Mingxiu, this is really inappropriate, don't be impulsive!"

"It's getting late. I'll come see you tomorrow, Xiaoxue. I hope you can keep this a secret for me. You're my best friend, you will!"

“I…I…”

Han Xue was a little hesitant, struggling with whether or not to tell her grandfather and aunt about this.

As if seeing through her thoughts, Choi Myung-soo spoke again:

"If you tell Mom, I will run away from home and go out on my own!"

"Don't...don't be impulsive. I won't tell you. I won't tell you!"

Choi Myung-soo was happy when he heard Han Xue's agreement.

"I knew you were my best friend. I'm going back now and will come see you tomorrow!"

"But..."

"Okay, go back now, I'm leaving!"

Although Choi Myung-soo rejected Han Xue's intention to reject him, he didn't want to give up his own little idea for the time being and decided to approach He Rongxuan and give it a try.

What if he doesn’t have a wife!

Then she could leave this ravine with him!

Thinking about the outside world, Cui Mingxiu skipped back to his home.

As soon as I reached the door, I heard my mom and dad talking inside.

"Boss, Mingxiu is not young anymore. How about I arrange for her to meet Zhang's third child in two years?"

"The third son of the Zhang family?"

"Yes, they live in the east end of the village. Although they don't interact much, the Zhang family has a pretty good tradition.

We are all from the same village, so even if Mingxiu marries him in the future, she won't suffer any loss!"

"Besides the third son of the Zhang family, I remember there were a few other good young men around Mingxiu's age!"

"Well, the second child of the Zhu family, the fourth child of the Fan family, and the sixth child of the Xu family, these children are all good!"

"Okay, then let Mingxiu see for herself. We'll decide whichever one she likes!"

Hearing this, Cui Mingxiu couldn't help but push the door and walked in.

"Dad, Mom! I don't want to see them now. I don't like any of them!"

When Cui Laosan heard what his daughter said, he couldn't help but frown.

"You don't like any of them? Have you seen them?"

"I...even if I haven't seen him in the past two years, I've seen him when I was a kid. But I still don't like him. I'm not in a hurry. I'll talk about it in two years!"

All the boys in the village are sent to the cemetery to guard the tomb for three years after they turn sixteen. It is said that this is to use the yang energy to suppress the yin energy. The rotation is every three years.

It happened that the options mentioned by Cui's father and mother were just brought back from the cemetery a few days ago.

They entered at sixteen and came out at nineteen, so that they could get married and have children. But how could three years be enough for a new wife to get pregnant?

But she didn't expect that her daughter was unhappy. Mother Cui looked at her daughter and felt that something was wrong.

"When I mentioned this to you last time, you weren't so resistant, were you? Could it be that you have a boyfriend?"

"I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"

No one knows a child better than his mother. Seeing her daughter acting like a chicken with its feathers standing on end, what is there for Cui's mother to not understand?

The couple looked at each other and instantly understood each other's thoughts.

"My dear, my parents are not unenlightened. If you really have any intention, please tell us.

We will not continue to arrange anything else for you, but we have to make it clear that this choice must be a young man from our village, understand!"

"Mom...what are you talking about? We haven't even started yet. Okay, I'm tired. I'm going to bed first. You guys should get some rest early!"

After Cui Mingxiu finished speaking, he ran back to his room.

"Hey, look at this damn kid!"

Mother Cui sighed, then looked at Father Cui and asked:

"Besides those young men, are there any other suitable candidates in the cemetery?"

Father Cui frowned.

"There are 20 people in this batch, and the remaining 10 or so are either older or married. There are no suitable people left!"

"Mingxiu...there are no mistresses in the village. What's wrong with her?"

"Who knows! You little girl, your heart is getting wilder and wilder. Hurry up and ask Xiaoxue tomorrow. The two of them are inseparable!"

"Okay, I get it. It's getting late. Let's go to bed!"

"Um!"
