Chapter 754: The people are not so virtuous, so marriages are decided by kidnapping
The person carrying the basket on his back was Jing Mo.
At the beginning, Song Jiuyuan supported the Eighth Prince to ascend the throne, and the master of the Divine Doctor Valley, who had treated the late emperor, was living in the Sixth Prince's mansion and was implicated.
In the end, because the other party were people from the underworld, the emperor did not make things difficult for them, and the reputation of the Valley of Divine Doctors became ruined.
The Lord of Shen Gu took Jing Mo away from Kyoto in a panic. She thought Jing Mo had returned to Shen Yi Valley.
But I didn't expect that he would hide in a place like Stone Village.
His face is now untidy and he no longer looks as energetic as before.
Not only Jiang Wan, but Song Jiuyuan also saw Jing Mo's appearance clearly. Jing Mo's eyes were dull because of the backpack.
Until his eyes fell on Song Jiuyuan, his pupils shrank slightly and he quickly hid in the crowd.
"Doctor Jing, what's wrong?"
"I remembered that I have something else to do at home, so I won't go to collect herbs today."
Jing Mo was afraid that Song Jiuyuan and the others would discover him, so he quickly covered his face with his hands and ran back to the village along the path.
Jiang Wan naturally saw it clearly. She said to Song Jiuyuan outside the carriage:
"Was that person Jing Mo just now?"
She almost thought she had mistaken someone.
"It's him."
Song Jiuyuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Jing Mo's back, a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes.
Jiang Wan looked at the villagers coming and going outside and had a vaguely strange feeling.
"Song Jiuyuan, have you noticed that almost all the people who come out in this village are men?"
After being reminded by her, Muxiang and Fuling looked outside in surprise. It was just as expected.
There are women in the village, but they are all older.
"Maybe the customs here are different."
Song Jiuyuan expressed his guess, but his whole body tensed up and he began to be on guard.
Old man Sun, who was sitting at the front, suddenly became nervous and his face turned slightly pale.
He thought of a very, very important question.
"benefactor."
Old Man Sun said this to Cheng Jin because he was closest to him.
"Master, what's wrong?"
Thinking of Fuling's kind nature, Cheng Jin couldn't help but soften his attitude towards Old Man Sun.
"It's like this, our village has some bad customs."
Old Man Sun swallowed and glanced at the carriage behind him with difficulty.
"What custom?"
Song Jiuyuan also heard his words and immediately rode over on his horse.
Facing Song Jiuyuan, Old Man Sun felt his scalp tingling. He could see that Song Jiuyuan was the most intimidating one here.
"that is……"
Old Man Sun grabbed a handful of hair and said apologetically, "The customs of the people in our village are not very good.
Marrying a wife depends on robbing. If you have a crush on a girl from a certain family, you can snatch her away if you have the ability. She will be your wife."
Everyone:!!!
No wonder they said they hadn't seen any girls of their age in the village.
Not to mention young girls, there are even very few young women in their twenties.
"What kind of perverse logic is this?"
Muxiang was shocked. She grew up in the countryside and had never seen such strange things.
Old Man Sun smiled bitterly, "This is the custom of the people. If a man is weak and has no skills, he won't be able to get a wife."
"If they are married, can they be robbed?"
Cheng Jin found it unbelievable, and everyone else was also stunned. They never expected that this place would be so weird.
"You can snatch a child away if you haven't given birth to one."
Old Man Sun sighed, "Of course, if a woman is not satisfied with her husband's family after marriage and is willing to leave when someone else comes to snatch her away, that's fine too."
As he said this, he glanced lovingly at his grandson in the carriage, "After my son died hunting.
Her mother couldn't stay there any longer, so when others came to grab her, she just followed them."
Everyone: ...
They always thought that Ergou's mother was dead.
"Of course, those with a clear mind will not steal other people's wives, but only steal unmarried girls."
Old Man Sun glanced awkwardly at Jiang Wan, Fuling and others not far away, and said, "My dear benefactors, please don't go out alone.
You are of noble status, I think people in the village don’t dare to offend you.”
If you are alone, you may go crazy and risk your life.
"This is too unreasonable!"
Cheng Jin glared angrily at the villagers who were smiling at them. Just now he thought the villagers were simple and honest, but now he was slapped in the face.
"Poria cocos, costus root, don't be alone."
Jiang Wan herself was not afraid, but Muxiang was small and had little fighting power.
"Master, don't worry. I can protect myself."
Muxiang has poison in her hand, and she will never let anyone who dares to mess with her go.
As they were talking, they had already arrived at Old Man Sun's thatched hut. His family lived on the east side of the village, next to an abandoned thatched hut.
"Opposite is an empty house in the village. If you don't mind, you can stay there now."
As he said this, he jumped off the carriage, carried Sun Ergou into his room, and poured tea for Jiang Wan and the others.
"My dear, there is only clean water."
Old man Sun was a little embarrassed because he didn't have any tea at home.
"Thank you very much."
Jiang Wan did not dislike it. Although old man Sun's house looked very poor, it was clean and the dishes were washed very cleanly.
Cheng Jin, on the other hand, was alert and looked around.
Ever since Old Man Sun told him about that strange custom, he was afraid that someone would hurt Fuling and the others.
"Let's drink the water and go."
Cheng Jin felt a little uneasy and didn't want to stay any longer.
Mu Xiang no longer had the heart to collect herbs, so she nodded and said, "Grandpa, we have urgent matters to attend to, so we won't stay any longer."
"Hey, my lord, take care."
Old Man Sun did not dare to keep them for long. In fact, he was also worried. He was really confused at that time and did not remember that girls could not come to their village easily.
Jiang Wan put down the bowl in her hand, and everyone was about to get on the carriage when they vaguely heard a burst of booing.
"Shanzi, you have a good eye. You actually managed to snatch the beauty from our village."
"Don't cry, Lianzi. Shanzi is not bad. He also brought a lot of things for your parents."
"I also want to snatch a daughter-in-law like Shanzi's."
"Oh my, it's time to drink at a wedding."
“…”
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man carrying a girl walking in front.
Shanzi grinned, and Lianzi showed no reluctance. She buried her face in Shanzi's neck and smiled shyly.
Jiang Wan guessed that the man was the Shanzi they were talking about, and the girl was Lianzi.
Behind them was a group of people, probably Shanzi’s brothers and relatives.
Old man Sun's expression became more and more embarrassed, and he hoped that those people would leave quickly.
However, everyone also noticed the gorgeous carriage here, and Shanzi couldn't help but shout:
"Uncle Sun, come to my house for the wedding banquet."
"No, I have something else to do."
Old man Sun wiped the sweat from his forehead and refused, but at this moment, Miss Lianzi, who was carried by Shanzi, looked over.
She first widened her eyes in surprise, then the smile on her face disappeared, and her watery eyes were filled with anticipation.
"Why is she looking at us like that?"
Muxiang felt that the way Lianzi looked at people was a little uncomfortable.
