Chapter 21: Weaver Girl 21
"Cowhand, did you hear what I said? I said that the girl named Mei Er is a demon, a fox demon who has practiced for three hundred years!" the old Yellow Ox repeated.
Cowhand paused and turned his head: "So what?"
The old Yellow Ox was surprised: "Aren't you unwilling to be with the demon? Otherwise, a few months ago, after you knew the true face of the snake demon An Xiu, you wouldn't have broken up with her. You got married a long time ago, and you still need to wait until now to be alone."All in one?"
Cowhand sighed: "Oh, the relationship with Miss An Xiu is the most regrettable thing in my life. It's just that I was too young at that time, and I didn't cherish this sincere relationship. Now I still regret it when I think about it.Too late."
"I think, I will never forget Miss An Xiu in my life. She was the first woman who made me fall in love, and she also saved my life. She is so beautiful, so pure, and so kind!"
The old Yellow Ox was even more surprised: "Since you never forget the snake demon An Xiu, why did you turn around and fall in love with the fox demon Meier now?"
Cowhand's face was filled with brilliance that moved him: "Because her eyebrows and eyes are somewhat like An Xiu girl. And now you tell me that she is also a demon, I am not only not afraid, but fortunate. I think,God must have sensed my sincerity and sent Miss An Xiu back to my side!"
Old Yellow Ox: "...do you think Mei Er is the reincarnation of An Xiu?"
"How is this possible! Don't even think about it. It was a few months ago that you met An Xiu, but Mei Er is three hundred years old.If you delay, you will be reincarnated, it should still be a fetus, how could you be reincarnated as a three hundred-year-old Meier!"
And in its view, Mei Er and An Xiu don't look alike at all, how did Cowhand see the resemblance between their eyebrows and eyes?The two of them have nothing in common except that they are both demons and good-looking!
Cowhand shook his head and said: "This world is wonderful, nothing is impossible. I believe that Mei Er girl is probably my An Xiu girl." If An Xiu is here, I really want to give him a thumbs up, although you are just making up an excuse, but you are right!
Old Yellow Ox said, "I told you it's impossible!"
Cowhand insisted: "I don't care, I believe, therefore I am here."
The old Yellow Ox was speechless: "Cowhand, I remind you that Mei Er is a demon, and I want to persuade you to think carefully. Recently, my physical strength is getting weaker and weaker, and I may die soon, so I can't help you much. If you are really with aIt is a very dangerous thing for a fox demon to be together. The fox demon is famous for charming men, so be careful not to be harmed by her."
Cowhand was a little panicked: "Are you going to die? How come! Aren't you also... No, how could you die?" He swallowed the word "demon" that he almost spit out.
The old Yellow Ox took a deep look at him: "I'm not a demon."
Cowhand said perfunctorily: "Okay, okay, you are not a demon, you are a god who helped me a lot. Then after you die, I will encounter problems again, what should I do?"
The old Yellow Ox looked at the sky, and said slowly: "After I die, you can peel off my cowhide..." He babbled a long series of words.
This is the last it can do.Now it can only confirm that Cowhand's destined marriage line is still there, but it can't tell whether Hu Yao Meier is that person.It doesn't feel right, Cowhand and she don't seem to have a happy ending.But Cowhand became determined after eating the weight, and he had no choice but to recognize her.
If Mei Er is that person, then that's fine; if not, hope its cowhide can help him at the critical moment, and find his marriage again after escaping this catastrophe.
Let's hope Cowhand can achieve his destiny sooner rather than later, even after his death.In this way, it can be regarded as having repaid its favor and can return to the Taurus star smoothly.
Let's talk about An Xiu.
The days passed quickly, and my sister-in-law's pregnancy was three months old, and it was stable.While the eldest brother was grateful to An Xiu, after much deliberation, he still discussed with his sister-in-law: "Miss, your pregnancy is stable now, and Miss Mei Er has lived in our house for two months, should we send her back home?"Did you go home?"
The sister-in-law immediately became upset: "Sister-in-law, are you trying to drive Miss Mei Er away? Don't you think this is going too far? Just crossing the river, you want to tear down the bridge?"
The eldest brother sighed heavily, and said: "Miss Mei Er helped you to give birth to your wife. Of course, I am very grateful. But her status is unusual, and she has stayed in our house for a long time, and it is not good for her."
The sister-in-law asked: "Why is her identity so unusual?"
The eldest brother said: "Miss, think about it, a girl of eighteen or nineteen has stayed in our house for so long and got along very well with you, but she never mentioned her residence and origin, and no family or friends came to look for her during this period.Don't you think that this situation is a bit similar to Miss An Xiu who lived with us for a while a few months ago?"
"Miss An Xiu is a snake demon, and Miss Mei Er...I think it might be the same."
The sister-in-law was shocked, but still didn't believe it: "Sister-in-law, don't make wild guesses. How can there be so many monsters and ghosts in this world? I think Miss Mei Er is very normal. Don't suspect that she is not human just because she is too good-looking."!"
The eldest brother saw that his wife couldn't make sense, so he wanted to work on Cowhand's side.
However, after the eldest brother implicitly pointed out the possibility that Mei Er is a demon, no matter what he thought in his heart, Cowhand still didn't take it seriously on the surface: "Brother, you worry too much. Girl Mei Er is beautiful and kind, how could it be possible?"It's a demon."
Eldest brother had no choice but to continue to let An Xiu live.With his personality, he really can't do anything to drive out those who have favored them.
But they didn't move, but An Xiu started to move.
A few days later, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The elder brother made a special trip to buy two urns of chrysanthemum wine from the town, planning to enjoy the moon with the whole family while drinking the wine and eating moon cakes.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the wine urn was opened and the smell of wine came out, Cowhand's expression changed: "Brother, we have been tricked! This is not chrysanthemum wine, this is realgar wine!"
The eldest brother glanced at An Xiu with a complicated expression, and said: "Maybe they made a mistake. But the realgar wine in that store is not cheaper than the chrysanthemum wine, and we are not at a loss. It's all wine anyway, so it's not as good as Miss Mei Er.Just drink this realgar bar."
After finishing speaking, he took the bowl and poured a full bowl of realgar wine for everyone.He thought, if Mei Er refuses to drink, it means that her identity is suspicious, and Cowhand will not repeat the same mistakes and fall into the love affair between human and demon again.In his opinion, Mei Er, like the snake demon An Xiu a few months ago, is a good demon with a kind heart. He does not have emotional entanglements with others, and it is a good thing to stay away from the world and concentrate on cultivation.
An Xiu slowly picked up the wine bowl in front of him, hesitated for a long time and refused to drink it.Seeing this, Cowhand quickly snatched it away.
"Miss Mei'er, this realgar wine is strong. You, a young girl, should not drink it." Cowhand said, and drank the wine in her bowl.
An Xiu made a gesture of relief: "Then thank you, Mr. Niu, I really rarely drink alcohol."
The eldest brother hesitated to speak: "Brother, you..."
Cowhand shook his head at his eldest brother, pretending nothing happened, inviting everyone to eat moon cakes and watch the moon.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, the eldest brother called Cowhand to the woodshed in the back room to have a private conversation.
"Brother, why did you do that tonight? Why didn't Miss Mei Er drink realgar wine?" asked the eldest brother, "You also saw that she refused to drink realgar wine. In my opinion, she probably is..."
Cowhand interrupted him: "Brother, you are thinking too much. I just think that realgar wine is too strong and not suitable for a young girl like Mei Er."
The eldest brother frowned: "Brother, do you really think so?"
Cowhand's eyes were a little erratic, but his tone was very sure: "Yes."
The elder brother sighed heavily.
Seeing him sigh, Cowhand thought of something, and looked at him suspiciously: "Brother, did you do the realgar wine incident today on purpose? Otherwise, we obviously bought chrysanthemum wine, but why did it turn into realgar wine when we moved home? ThenThis store is a time-honored brand, and it is logically impossible for such a low-level mistake to occur."
The eldest brother was a little angry: "Brother, how could I do this? Miss Mei Er is kind to my wife, no matter what, I will not hurt her." He had long thought that the realgar wine was only used as a test.After confirming that she is not a demon, how could he force her to drink realgar wine and show her true form?He would just prepare generous gifts to thank her well, persuade her to leave with nice words, and just like the "snake demon" An Xiu a few months ago, he would devote himself to cultivating until he could achieve a positive result.
Cowhand said: "That's good. Brother, you'd better leave me alone with Miss Mei Er in the future."
The eldest brother waved his hands and left irritably: "Okay, okay, it's up to you, I don't care!"
Let's talk about An Xiu.
The original Weaver Girl was moved to tears by Cowhand's actions: "He loves me so much, he really loves me so much!"
"He believed me so much, he didn't want to test me with realgar wine, so he took the initiative to drink all the wine!"
"His love for me is pure and passionate, without any impurities!"
"Trust is the most important cornerstone of love! Our love, never doubt!"
An Xiu: "..."
Here it comes again.
An Xiu decided to ignore the voice of the lovestruck fairy Weaver Girl.Let her PUA herself, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment will be when the time comes, just to wake her up in one fell swoop, just like cutting out the sore after it festers.
How should the next plot be arranged?
Since the beginning of this subline is copied from a mythological drama that was popular in China in later generations, then don't blame her for imitating the example, and also borrowing from the subsequent plots.
For example, on the Mid-Autumn Festival, the real culprit who replaced the chrysanthemum wine with realgar wine was not the elder brother or Cowhand, but An Xiu herself.That's right, it's her, she did it on purpose!
Then, Taoist priests, eminent monks and the like will also be arranged!
She wants to see how this Cowhand will behave at that time, whether he can do better than the scholar surnamed Xu in that mythological drama!
