Chapter 22: Weaver Girl 22
When Cowhand was passing by the temple that day, an old monk with a lot of experience stopped him and said, "This benefactor, please come with me, you are covered with evil spirit."
Cowhand's complexion changed slightly, but he returned to normal in an instant, and he refused straight away: "What evil spirit, you are talking nonsense!"
The old monk held his hand tightly: "Benefactor, monks don't tell lies, what I say is true."
Cowhand broke free: "You talk nonsense, isn't it for lamp oil money? Let me tell you, I don't have any money with me, so you should stop thinking about it!" After speaking, he walked away.
The old monk was anxious, and shouted: "Benefactor, you misunderstood, I am not talking nonsense, you believe me!" However, he did not chase, and saw that Cowhand ran faster without looking back, and there was a mysterious look at the corner of his mouth.smile.
Cowhand wiped the cold sweat from his forehead after returning to his elder brother and sister-in-law's house.
Seeing his appearance, the eldest brother also found that he forgot to buy the incense candles on the stall outside the temple, so he asked him what happened.
Cowhand wanted to hide it, but under the inquiry of his eldest brother, he still hesitated to tell the story of meeting the old monk.
The eldest brother frowned more tightly: "It seems that I guessed right, Miss Mei Er is indeed a demon. Brother, I advise you to find a chance to send her away."
Cowhand refused straight away: "Miss Mei Er is a human being, she is not a demon! How can you believe the nonsense that the old monk said?"
"Brother, didn't you promise me that you would not care about me and Miss Mei Er?"
The eldest brother sighed and left with his hands behind his back.
Not a single word of their conversation escaped An Xiu's ears.Now the original Weaver Girl was moved to tears again: "He loves me so much, he really loves me so much, he chooses to trust me unconditionally, and doesn't listen to what the old monk you arranged to say at all!"
"His trust in me is more real than real gold!"
An Xiu: "..."
She decided to try again.
A few days later, when Cowhand went out, he met an old Taoist priest who looked immortal and had a lot of history.
The old Taoist looked Cowhand up and down, lowered his voice and said: "My layman, your seal is darkened, and your eyes are dull. According to the old Taoist view, you must be in trouble in the near future."
Cowhand's face changed: "What? What is the disaster, what is the reason, can the priest have a solution?"
The old Taoist said: "According to old calculations, the place where you live is occupied by evil spirits, and you have a close relationship with evil spirits, which caused this disaster. Laymen may wish to think about it, have you brought strangers into your home recently?"
Cowhand suddenly stopped panicking: "Nonsense! I act upright and upright. I am not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. How could I attract evildoers? You must be trying to sell me those messy spells, gods, etc.water!"
"You're a liar, I don't believe a single word you say!" After that, he left without saying a single word, just like when he met the old monk last time.
The old Taoist looked anxious and shouted: "Layman, the old Taoist doesn't tell lies, you believe me!" But he didn't chase after him, seeing Cowhand running faster without looking back, a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
After Cowhand returned to his elder brother and sister-in-law's house, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead again.After that, couldn't stand the elder brother's questioning again, and told the scene of meeting the old Taoist priest, and once again firmly believed that what the old Taoist priest said was all lies, and that Mei Er was a human being, not a demon.
The original Weaver Girl was also moved to tears again: "He loves me so much, he really loves me so much, he chooses to trust me unconditionally! Even if the old Taoist priest you arranged threatened him that disaster would happen to him, he would not waver!"
"He loves me more than himself! His love for me can stand the test and cannot be shaken by any bad rumors and rumors!"
An Xiu: "..."
She decided to continue to make persistent efforts, she did not believe in this evil!
Next is the master of divination.
Then Cowhand overturned the tall man's stand.
Then there is the boy who claims to be able to see the strange.
Then Cowhand kicked him out the door.
Then there is a sorceress who is full of incomprehensible words.
Then Cowhand said that few of what the three aunts and six wives said were true, and sneered at it.
In short, no matter what to do, Cowhand's reaction is not to listen, not to believe, he said that he firmly believes that the girl Mei Er he loves is not a demon!
Seeing that the original Weaver Girl is getting more and more touched, more and more lovestruck, and she is about to be attacked by Cowhand, An Xiu decided to let Cowhand face the truth instead of deceiving her!
He doesn't believe she is a demon, does he?Then she insisted on letting him see clearly!
Anyway, he is much more courageous than a certain scholar surnamed Xu. Didn't he scare him to death when he showed his "true shape" as "snake demon" An Xiu a few months ago?Once born and secondly familiar, even if you show him the "true form" of the nine-tailed fox, he will definitely not die.
But of course An Xiu didn't show her body directly, which was too exciting for the pregnant sister-in-law.The sister-in-law has always been very kind to her, and she doesn't want to irritate her.
Therefore, An Xiu chose a relatively mild way to tell Cowhand the so-called "truth".
"Young Master Niu, I can see your kindness to me, and I am very moved." An Xiu's voice was so gentle and sweet that Cowhand's whole body went numb, and he wished to give her his whole heart, "IThe same is true for your heart, I am willing to walk with you until the end of life."
Cowhand nodded fiercely, flushed with excitement: "Okay, okay, Mei Er girl, I swear that I will always be good to you, love you and love you all my life! You are more important than life to me!"
An Xiu lowered her head shyly: "Meeting Mr. Niu is the greatest luck in Mei Er's life."
Cowhand rubbed his hands impatiently, eager to try: "Then... Miss Mei Er, when will we get married?"
An Xiu bit her lip, and said with some embarrassment: "I want to live a two-person world with Mr. Niu. Although this place is good, but with your elder brother, sister-in-law and nephew, there will be another child in a few months.Not very convenient."
"When we get married, we must have a house of our own."
Niulang was in a dilemma now, he really couldn't afford his small wooden shack: "This... Miss Meier, if you give me some time, I will find a way to raise money to build a new house."Miss Qianjin spent all her time being quiet as a girl, and now she is clinking poor.
An Xiu smiled and said, "Young Master Niu, don't worry about the money, I have it. You just need to tell me which piece of land belongs to you, and I'll build it there."
Cowhand immediately beamed with joy, and repeatedly declined: "I am a man, I marry you, how can I ask you to pay?"
An Xiu smiled and said, "Why do we have to distinguish so clearly between the two of us? 'It's easy to find a priceless treasure, but it's rare to have a lover'. In my opinion, money and such are just things outside the body. I don't care. You have to be honest.I'm sorry, just treat this money as my dowry."
Cowhand responded happily, and showed An Xiu a piece of land at the end of the village.It was the wasteland left by the ancestors of the Niu family, and it was reserved for future generations to build houses.But the Niu family is sparsely populated and has not been used.
ten days later.
Cowhand, as usual, came to the eldest brother and sister-in-law's house early in the morning.
An Xiu smiled and waved to him: "Young Master Niu, you came just in time, and I have some good news for you, our house is finished!"
Cowhand beamed: "Really? That's great!"
The eldest brother's expression changed drastically: "It's finished? So soon? It's only been ten days!" The sister-in-law also frowned, her expression uncertain.
An Xiu smiled and nodded: "Yes. Brother Niu and Sister-in-law Niu, if it's convenient for you, why don't you come and visit together?"
The eldest brother and sister-in-law agreed, and walked to the new house together.
I saw that there was a beautiful mansion in the place that was originally a wasteland!
The white walls and blue tiles are broad and generous; the pillars are painted with gold and silver, which are exquisite and beautiful; the back garden is fragrant with plants and trees, and there is even a small artificial lake with a small pavilion built beside it!
"It's so magnificent! I never dreamed that I would live in such a beautiful house in the future!" Cowhand murmured obsessively looking at everything in the house.
The eldest brother didn't say a word the whole time, he hurriedly found an excuse and dragged his sister-in-law back to his home.
"Miss, it took only ten days for Miss Mei Er to build such a big house. No matter how you think about it, there are problems in it!" the elder brother said in a low voice.
The sister-in-law also looked solemn: "It seems that you are right, Miss Mei Er is really...that." It seems that she has to remind her.Doing so is too high-profile and dangerous!
As soon as Cowhand came back, the eldest brother pulled him into the kitchen, closed the door, and said solemnly: "Brother, do you believe it now? Miss Mei Er is really not an ordinary person, she is definitely a demon! That buildingSomething is wrong with the house!"
Cowhand grimaced: "Brother, you're talking nonsense again. That house is very good, what's wrong? Are you jealous of me?"
The eldest brother just laughed angrily: "I'm jealous of you? I'm your brother! I've helped you so much in the past six months, regardless of the past, and I'm just hoping for your well-being!"
Cowhand said lightly: "Thank you, big brother. But I'm going to get married soon, I think I won't bother you and sister-in-law like this in the future."
The eldest brother was a little bit chilled by his attitude, wishing he could leave him alone, but thinking of the new house, he still held back his anger and pointed out that something was wrong with it.
Big brother: "To build a house, you need to lay down the line, dig the trench foundation, build the foundation and lay the stone, install the pillar and capstone, wrap the platform, install the rafters, and lay the felt back. It takes a few steps.It took months of effort to complete it. Miss Meier only took ten days, this is definitely not human-powered!"
Cowhand: "Miss Mei Er is rich, so if you hire more skilled craftsmen, the production will be faster? It's normal."
Big Brother: "It's impossible to be so fast! Well, even if the house can be built in ten days, what about the back garden? It will take a lot of work to dig the lake? And those flowers and trees can be built in ten days?"
Cowhand: "Miss Mei Er is rich, wouldn't it be enough to transplant those flowers and plants from other places? As for the lake, it's not a problem to have more hands digging together. It's normal."
Brother: "Where's the bird's nest under the beam? How did it come about? It's autumn, and the swallows have already flown to the south for the winter. How did you build the nest?"
Cowhand: "Miss Meier said that it is a good omen for swallows to build nests at home, so she must have bought beams and logs from other people's houses at a high price to build the house. She is rich, so it is normal to do so."
Big Brother: "..." He was sure, his little brother is a blind man who pretends to be deaf and dumb!
"You can't see so many unusual things?" The eldest brother said helplessly, "Old monks, old Taoist priests, masters, boys, and witches all said that she has problems, don't you think; it's weird to build a house in ten days.You still don't feel it!"
Cowhand still answered him stubbornly: "No problem, it's normal! Brother, if you still don't admit it, you're just jealous that I want to live a better life, so you always criticize me, insisting that Miss Meier is not an ordinary person!"
The elder brother was completely disappointed: "Okay, okay, I'm jealous of you? Hehe! Since you are going to live a good life, brother, then the elder brother will not keep you, go live in your new house of Meier girl!"leave.This time he really made up his mind, and if he doesn't soften his heart, he will just pretend that he has never had this younger brother, and all the brotherhood will be fed to the dog!
Let's talk about An Xiu.
When the sister-in-law came back to pick up her things, the sister-in-law pulled An Xiu back to her room, and locked the door carefully to talk.
