Chapter 1140 Marriage
Originally Kong Chan thought that life would continue like this quietly.
However, there were more and more rumors about the two of them in the village.
They live together as a single man and a single woman, the man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried, and no one knows what their relationship is?
Those idle people in the village gossiped and described the relationship between Kong Chan and Xiao Chu in a very unpleasant way.
Kong Chan can ignore the gossip, but Xiao Chu can't.
After all, she was just a girl of sixteen or seventeen, with a tender skin. She couldn't stand it after hearing a few words, but she couldn't argue with those gossips, so she could only run away silently.
When she ran back home, her eyes were red.
You can tell at a glance that she had just cried.
Later, even the village chief came to find Xiao Chu and said that this couldn't go on as it had too bad of an impact.
He gave Xiao Chu two choices: either find someone to marry quickly or send Kong Chan away immediately.
Xiao Chu is young, beautiful and capable. There are actually many young men in the village who are willing to marry her. But now that this incident has happened, all those who were willing to marry Xiao Chu have remained silent.
They all felt that since Xiao Chu had lived with that outsider for so long, their relationship must be unclear. Who would be willing to marry such an unclear woman?
Only those hooligans who covet Xiao Chu's beauty don't care about these things. They are actually happy to marry Xiao Chu for some fun.
After seeing off the village chief, Xiao Chu locked himself in the house and refused to come out.
Kong Chan knew that he was going to be driven away again.
It has been like this since he was a child. No matter where he goes, no one is willing to welcome him.
He was abandoned by his parents when he was a child, and was disliked by his master and senior brothers when he grew up. Now even Xiao Chu wants to abandon him.
The resentment that had disappeared in Kong Chan's heart for a long time surged up again.
He wants to kill someone.
He wanted to kill Xiao Chu and everyone in the village.
He had even walked to Xiao Chu's door and was about to push it open when the door was suddenly opened from the inside.
Xiao Chu stood in the room with red eyes.
She was slightly stunned when she saw Kong Chan outside the door, but then she reacted and opened her mouth to ask quickly.
"Will you marry me?"
Kong Chan was stunned.
His mind went blank.
Seeing that he didn't respond for a long time, Xiao Chu thought that he didn't hear clearly, so he suppressed his shame and asked loudly again.
"Will you marry me?"
She thought it through and decided that instead of marrying a strange man whose background she didn't know, it would be better for her to marry Kong Chan. At least they had lived together for a while and had a certain understanding of each other.
Of course, this was just her wishful thinking.
She didn't know whether Kong Chan would agree.
If he didn't agree, she would have to find another way.
Kong Chan still didn't say anything.
He never dreamed that Xiao Chu would say such words to him.
Xiao Chu's face has turned red.
She said nervously, "Just say something. If you don't want to, just say it. I won't force you. If it doesn't work, we can move. We can move to the mountains. There's no one there to gossip about us, and we can live our lives as usual."
…
Xiao Xixi: "Did you promise her?"
Kong Chan lowered his eyes, looked at his nails that were gradually turning purple, and replied softly.
"Um."
He didn't know what he was thinking at the time, but he nodded and agreed to marry Xiao Chu.
Thinking back on it now, he actually had a sense of unreality, as if in a dream.
It was as if it was all just a dream.
In the dream, he was like a fool, but just because of the other party's words "Will you marry me", all the resentment that was about to burst out in his heart disappeared.
Kong Chan and Xiao Chu held a simple wedding.
They invited the village chief to be the witness, and also invited some villagers who took good care of Xiao Chu to the banquet.
As for those guys who gossiped behind his back, Xiao Chu didn't invite any of them.
Humph, she also holds a grudge!
The villagers don't have so many requirements for marriage, and there are not even three books and six ceremonies. As long as the marriage is done and everyone knows what is going on, it's done.
They don't even need to go to the county government to change their household registration.
After getting married, Kong Chan and Xiao Chu lived together legitimately.
At first, some people were discussing Kong Chan's origins. When he first arrived in the village, he was covered in wounds, and it looked like he might have some enemy.
Later, as time went by, the village remained peaceful and no so-called enemies appeared, so those people gradually forgot about it.
Even Kong Chan himself gradually forgot the past events.
He has become accustomed to living with Xiao Chu, and he has also taken the initiative to take on the task of going up the mountain to collect herbs.
As a member of the Xuanmen sect, he knew much more medicinal herbs than Xiao Chu, and he also knew martial arts. He could catch some prey while collecting herbs and bring them back to Xiao Chu to nourish his body.
Almost every time he went home, he would carry prey in his hands, mostly small animals like pheasants, hares, and foxes. If he was lucky, he could also catch wild boars, wild deer, foxes, etc.
The villagers were all envious when they saw this.
In the past, some people laughed at Xiao Chu for marrying a man of unknown origin and didn’t know how long she could live a peaceful life.
Now that people see that Xiao Chu’s man is so capable, everyone praises Xiao Chu for being so lucky to have married a good man.
Until two months after the marriage.
Kong Chan went home as usual, carrying a bamboo basket full of medicinal herbs, with a layer of fresh mushrooms on top of the basket, and holding a large pheasant with bright feathers in each hand.
Xiao Chu has not had a good appetite recently and doesn’t want to eat anything.
Kong Chan was thinking about having pheasant stewed with mushrooms tonight, which was Xiao Chu's favorite dish.
As a result, he heard someone say halfway on the way that there were guests at his house.
Kong Chan immediately became alert.
He and Xiao Chu were strangers, so even when they got married, no relatives or friends came to watch the ceremony. Only a few people in the village who had a good relationship with them came. But if only the villagers came to their home as guests, the reactions of other villagers would not be so obvious.
Kong Chan did not go home directly, but hid near his home.
Not long after, he saw the gate of his house being opened and two people walking out.
One of them is Xiao Chu and the other is Xuanjizi.
The moment Kong Chan saw Xuanjizi, his heart sank to the bottom.
He hasn't seen Xuanjizi since he left Xuanmen, and he thought he would never see him again in his life.
But I didn't expect to see Xuanjizi again in this situation.
Kong Chan remained motionless, his eyes fixed on Xuanjizi and Xiaochu.
He saw Xiao Chu giving Xuanjizi a shy smile.
Xuanjizi said something that made Xiaochu's face turn red and she looked very embarrassed.
Xuanjizi also took out an exquisitely crafted brocade bag from his sleeve and handed it to her.
Based on Kong Chan's understanding of Xiao Chu, she never accepted anything given by other men, but this time, she did not refuse.
She took the sachet with both hands and held it in her arms like a treasure.
