Chapter 678: Kun's Revenge
Amu pondered: "I have to find a husband for Ahua."
Zhao Jingxuan couldn't help but straighten his back, hold his head high and chest out, making himself look majestic, with a look full of "look at me".
Amu looked at him with a fierce expression, but there was a smile in his words: "Axuan, stop making trouble, you need to go home, this is not your home."
Zhao Jingxuan's breath suddenly deflated and he drooped.
Yes, he, Ahua and Amu are just travelers in life. They meet briefly and will soon separate.
"Why don't you come with me?" Zhao Jingxuan said.
Amu still had a fierce expression, but Zhao Jingxuan could read his eyes - 'What bullshit are you talking about'.
Ahua and Amu will not leave their hometown.
"The village witch bullies people like this, and the villagers don't resist?" Zhao Jingxuan couldn't help but say.
Zhao Jingxuan was born a prince, high and mighty, and had never been oppressed.
But he had read books, and the Taifu also said that where there is oppression there is resistance.
In the way of the emperor, the people are the most important, the country is second, and the emperor is the least important. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. Only when the people live and work in peace and contentment can the country be stable.
The emperor holds power and should use it to allow more people to live a good life, not to oppress others.
"The words of the village witch are God's will. No one will resist God." Amu said.
"Bullshit, is it God's will that he raise a dead fat pig? He is just pretending to be a god and fooling you!" Zhao Jingxuan cursed angrily.
"Axuan, don't talk nonsense!" Amu's tone suddenly became serious.
Amu was really angry, and his expression didn't change, but it really made Zhao Jingxuan feel a little scared.
"You can't say such things. It's okay if we hear them, but if other people in the village hear them, they will stone you to death." Ah Hua came over and said.
From what Ahua and Amu said, Zhao Jingxuan could tell that the villagers were extremely hostile to outsiders and believed in God.
However, Zhao Jingxuan felt that Ahua and Amu did not believe in God so much, otherwise they would not have saved him.
"I'm a foreigner. I'll be burned to death even if I don't speak. It's all death anyway." Zhao Jingxuan muttered.
Ah Hua said, "It's different. You will be smashed half to death and then burned to death."
"Then I won't say anything." Zhao Jingxuan shut up obediently.
Ah Hua patted his head and said, "Be good."
Zhao Jingxuan touched his head and felt something was wrong. He felt that he was a man, so why did Ah Hua treat him like a younger brother?
Ah Hua turned around and continued to work.
Amu was worried about Ahua, so he didn't let her go out. He asked her to stay at home and close the door.
Ah Hua agreed.
So, Zhao Jingxuan saw Ah Hua all day the next day.
Zhao Jingxuan followed Ah Hua closely, following her everywhere.
"Why are you following me?" Ah Hua said with a smile.
"Protect you." Zhao Jingxuan said, clenching his fists and gesturing his muscles.
The next moment, he stepped on the wood on the ground, and his body fell forward uncontrollably, biting the mud.
Ah Hua smiled with her eyes curved.
Ahua chopped firewood, and Zhao Jingxuan helped her stack it.
"Ahua, do you have someone you like?" Zhao Jingxuan asked.
Ah Hua thought about it and shook her head.
"Ahua, what kind of person do you like?" Zhao Jingxuan continued to ask.
Ah Hua continued to shake her head.
"Haven't you ever imagined what the person you like is like? Like, someone good-looking, or particularly brave?"
"No, maybe you'll know when you meet him." Ah Hua said.
Her mother once said that with some people, when you meet them for the first time, you know you want to marry them and be their bride.
After chopping the firewood, Ah Hua went on to do other things, and was busy all the time.
By the time she finished all the work, Amu still hadn't come back.
Ahua and Zhao Jingxuan sat together in the attic, looking out through the window, waiting for Amu to return.
It was completely dark and the moon came out.
Zhao Jingxuan could feel Ah Hua's worry. He racked his brains to divert Ah Hua's attention. He talked until his mouth was dry and he had nothing to say.
He suddenly thought of something and took out the slingshot he had made and gave it to Ah Hua.
"Shoot that leaf." Zhao Jingxuan said.
Ah Hua used the slingshot to shoot several times and finally hit the leaf. She was very happy.
Just then, a figure appeared in the distance.
Ah Hua hurried downstairs, and Zhao Jingxuan followed her, and the two waited at the door.
After a while, the door opened and Amu's tired face appeared behind the door.
"Brother, you are finally back!" Ah Hua said happily and hugged him.
Amu patted her and asked her to let him go: "Dirty."
Ah Hua ran to get a towel to wipe his face: "Why are you so late?"
"Building a temple and laying the foundation are a lot of things to do." Amu said.
I see.
Ah Hua breathed a sigh of relief.
She was afraid that she would offend Kun and that Kun would make things difficult for Amu.
The three of them had dinner together, then went to bed and had a good night's sleep.
In the next few days, Amu came back later and later, and one day he even came back in the middle of the night, with his hands covered in bloodstains from overwork.
Ah Hua applied medicine to him, feeling distressed: "Brother, did Kun needle you?"
"No, everyone is the same, let's go to next year's summer festival." Amu said.
There were no temples in several nearby villages, so the village witches jointly asked the chief witch of Yuecheng whether they could build a temple.
A few days ago, the Great Wizard of Yuecheng conveyed the will of God, agreeing to their construction.
So all the able-bodied men from several villages gathered together to build the temple.
Amu's words were half true and half false.
It was true that he was going to the summer festival, but it was false that Kun did not target him.
The work Kun assigned to him was both hard and numerous. He was the last one to finish, and naturally the last one to come back.
However, he didn't want to tell his sister because he didn't want her to worry.
The next morning, Amu went out again.
On this day, Ah Hua always felt a little uneasy.
She really wanted to visit the temple, but she remembered Amu's instructions, so she could only wait anxiously for Amu to come back.
In the afternoon, someone suddenly came to tell Ahua that something had happened to Amu.
"Amu was hit by a pillar and can't move. Ahua, go and check on him!" someone outside shouted.
When Ah Hua heard this, the color on her face disappeared completely and she almost fell down.
Zhao Jingxuan was also startled and hurried to help Ah Hua. Before he could say anything to comfort her, Ah Hua ran downstairs.
Zhao Jingxuan hurriedly chased after him, wanting to follow him out.
Ah Hua's steps suddenly stopped: "Don't come out."
After saying that, he ran out.
Zhao Jingxuan squatted there, his face full of anxiety. He grabbed his hair with his hands and paced back and forth.
After pacing for two steps, he couldn't help it and ran out.
He had to go and check it out. If he was discovered, he would pretend to be mute!
As long as he didn't speak, they wouldn't be able to tell whether he was an outsider or not since he was wearing the same clothes as them.
He pretended to be a distant relative of Ahua and Amu!
Zhao Jingxuan ran faster.
Ah Hua knew the address where the temple was being built. She had been there before. She ran very fast and soon left the person who brought her the message behind.
The man did not move forward, but stood there with a triumphant smile.
