Afterwards, Ah Li took Shen Xinghe's hand and walked back.
Shen Xinghe raised her hand to touch her lips. Why didn't this person have the shyness that a woman should have? Now it was his turn to take her hand and walk forward.
However, she was ultimately different from other women.
And so, another seven or eight days passed.
Ah Li wrapped the large cleaver with long strips of cloth, layer upon layer, while Wu Xin sat to the side watching her movements.
Seeing that the man had wrapped the machete with strips of cloth and even tied a knot, he said, "Are you getting ready to put the knife away?"
Ah Li shook her head and said, "This is what my father left me. As long as I live, the knife will be there too. Wherever I am, the knife will be there as well."
Upon hearing this, Wuxin asked again, "Are you going down the mountain?"
Ahri answered truthfully, "Yes, I want to go down the mountain."
"And this village?"
“They are not children, it doesn’t matter whether I am there or not.”
Ahri slung the machete wrapped in cloth behind her back, patted Wuxin on the shoulder, and said, "If you like living here, then stay a while longer."
Ah Li went to the back and pulled out a bundle.
Wuxin stood up. "What about Shen Xinghe? Aren't you going to talk to him about it?"
Ah Li stroked her chin and said, "He has his own important matters to attend to, and I also have things to do, so I'd better not say anything."
After Ahri finished speaking, she looked back once more. Fortunately, this time he wasn't standing behind her.
Unaware of Ahri's actions, he smiled gently and said, "Then you don't mind taking me with you, do you? I also want to go down the mountain."
“Alright, with Master Wuxin accompanying me, I won’t be bored on this journey.”
Ahri smiled brightly and cleanly at Wuxin, like the rising sun at dawn.
"Wait for me a moment, I'll go pack my things."
"good."
Ali put down her bundle and then noticed Er Gouzi and Li Dazhu arriving.
Li Dazhu's wife gave birth, and he wanted to borrow some money from the village chief.
When they got closer and realized that Ah Li looked like she was about to go on a long trip, they panicked, "Chief, where are you going?"
Ah Li patted her bundle and said magnanimously, "Can't you tell? I'm going down the mountain to find myself a husband to be my bandit leader."
"And what about Young Master Shen?"
Ah Li caught a glimpse of Shen Xinghe returning, dressed in black. She said, "I am the chieftain of Youjian Mountain Village. What's wrong with having a few more husbands? If he can't stand it, then let him go back to where he came from."
Shen Xinghe, who was not far away, stopped in his tracks, and his face darkened. He looked at Ah Li, who was still talking boastfully, with a heavy gaze. "He's just so-so. He seems unattainable, but once you get him, he's just so-so. It's not interesting."
Yesterday, Ahri told him, "You are the best I have ever met. I only want you in this life. Everyone else is just fluff."
fraud.
“Chief, you’re acting like one of those wicked women in a play. This is wrong.”
Ali raised an eyebrow. "Li Dazhu, do you still want your money back?"
Li Dazhu chose to keep quiet; he did want the money.
Ah Li glanced casually at where Shen Xinghe was again, only to see him walk away without looking back, as if he had never been there at all.
Why doesn't this person come up and question her?
Never mind, it's good that someone was hurt.
Ali took out two taels of silver from his bundle and said to Li Dazhu, "Treat your wife well, and be careful with your money."
Li Dazhu accepted the money. "Thank you, Chieftain. I'll be careful with my money. But you still need to treat Young Master Shen well. Quite a few people in the village saw you doing that the other day."
When Li Dazhu said this, he put his two thumbs together.
Er Gouzi nodded and said, "That's right, we all regard Young Master Shen as our future husband. If you, Chief, abandon Young Master Shen after taking advantage of him, we will despise you."
"Alright, I'm going to get angry if you keep talking. You guys go back now, I'm going down the mountain too."
"Chief, take care when you go down the mountain, and don't attract any trouble. Some of the people down the mountain are not to be trifled with."
"knew."
Ali waved casually, signaling Li Dazhu and Er Gouzi to hurry up and leave.
Li Dazhu and Er Gouzi left, and Wuxin came over with a bundle.
Ahri reached out and took it, slung it over her shoulder, and said, "Let's go."
Looking at Ah Li carrying his own bundle, Wu Xin said, "I can carry it myself."
"Anyway, I'm carrying a lot of stuff, so a few more of your clothes won't make a difference."
Ah Li also took two straw hats off the wall, handing one to Wuxin and putting the other on herself.
Wuxin put on his straw hat and went down the mountain with Ali.
I met many people along the way.
Many people are reluctant to part with Wuxin, while Ahri has received a lot of disdain and contempt.
Why?
Because Li Dazhu, with his big mouth, has already spread her boastful words.
Another old woman held Ah Li's hand and said, "Chief, we've watched you grow up. Sometimes you should think things through before you act."
Ahri indicated that she understood.
Wuxin glanced to the left and right, but Shen Xinghe wasn't there.
He would usually be back by this time.
These past few days, Ahri and he seem to have become much closer.
He noticed several times that Shen Xinghe had several dark red marks on his neck. He said they were mosquito bites, but he could tell at a glance that they were from being kissed.
At the same time, Ali would also say, "Oh dear, does this mosquito like to wear red, or is it a pretty female mosquito?"
Shen Xinghe's ears would turn red, then he would cover Ah Li's mouth and take her back to the room.
The two returned to their room and closed the door.
When Ahri reappeared, there were several dark red marks on her neck.
She openly showed it to everyone, and sometimes she would even walk up to him and say, "I wasn't bitten by a mosquito, I was bitten by a repressed pervert named Shen Xinghe."
Unintentionally, I noticed because of the teeth marks.
Shen Xinghe didn't appear; he coughed several times in his room.
Ah Li sat down in front of Wu Xin with a mischievous grin and said, "It's nothing, he probably choked on his own saliva."
Just then, Ah Li turned around and called out to Wu Xin, who was lost in thought, "Wu Xin, snap out of it."
"Amitabha."
Wuxin walked towards the red figure. Someone whispered, "It looks like the chieftain is about to elope with Master Wuxin."
Wuxin stumbled, but he didn't look back or see who had uttered such absurd words.
He is a Buddhist, and the seven emotions and six desires are like flowers in a mirror or the moon's reflection in water to him; he will not be moved by them.
Yes, he won't.
Throughout the journey, Ahri, dressed in a flamboyant red outfit, kept flashing in front of Wuxin.
Sometimes, we would fetch him water or fruit.
At night, he would meditate and rest, while she would lie on the thick tree trunk and doze off, her red skirt swaying in the night breeze.
She seemed to only have a red dress, while he only had a few simple monk robes.
