Chapter 12 Woman

The young scholar was going to the ghost Zhuyu Town, which made Li Fuyao’s expression a bit unnatural. Finally, Qing Huai had some interesting ideas. Then they returned to the Zhuyu Town. On the way, it was obvious that the young scholar’s spirits rose. He was talking all the way. And he just let Li Fuyao know the ins and outs of the matter.

 

It turned out that the young scholar had a girl friend who grew up with him together. The two originally loved each other. They had already made a deal that they waited after the scholar went to the capital to take the examinations and then they got married. But no one knew why the woman married far away to Zhuyu Town after the scholar left the village. The scholar returned from the exam and learned of this. So he raised a machete in preparation for coming to Zhuyu Town to grab his girlfriend back.

 

Speaking of this, Li Fuyao really admired the young scholar. But because he made Qing Huai stop and go to Zhuyu Town, Li Fuyao still felt a little unhappy.

 

The journey was not long, and the three would soon approach that Zhuyu Town. Because Qing Huai wanted to see how a bride-snatching ceremony is like, and Li Fuyao could not allow the scholar to enter the town alone. He looked at this Zhuyu Town then looked at the scholar in doubt and asked, “Huang Jin, you just bring a machete, can you really grab the bride back?”

 

The young scholar, originally named Huang Jin, clenched the book in his hand and opened his mouth sulkily, “In the end, it’s best to be able to reason things out with them. If the other party doesn’t listen to me, then it’s better to resort to force.”

 

Li Fuyao looked at this guy who even clenched the book tighter in his hand when he’s talking tough. He sighed for no reason, but Qing Huai chuckled softly, “If you are more reasonable, then I will support you.”

 

Hearing those words, Huang Jin quickly waved his hands, “This is Huang Jin’s own business, how dare to drag you in this mess.”

 

In response, Li Fuyao shook his head, and Qing Huai was unmoved.

 

The three entered Zhuyu Town, walked across the street, and walked slowly. Huang Jin asked the direction of the house all the way. Finally, after nearly an hour, the three came to a house in the alley of the northwest of the town. The alley was quiet, and at the end was the house that Huang Jin was looking for. When the three walked to the house, they could still see that there were still two red lanterns hanging at the door of the house. It was obvious that the new couple in this house had finished their marriage not for long. Soon, Huang Jin stood in front of the gate of the house, with a little hesitation on his face.

 

After all, he was a scholar who had been reading sage books all his life. When had he done such a rude thing of grabbing the bride back, even if the woman was the one he had been thinking about for more than ten years? He was really hesitant when he came to the door to take action.

 

Li Fuyao felt a little bored, but Qing Huai is extremely interested in this. So she didn’t urge him. She had been watching Huang Jin wandering in front of the door. But after half a cup of tea was over, Huang Jin still couldn’t make up his mind. At last, he just sat on the stone steps.

 

Li Fuyao was a little tired after standing for a long time. And he walked over to sit next to Huang Jin. Sitting beside him, Li Fuyao tentatively asked, “What are you afraid of?”

 

Huang Jin’s face was slightly flushed, and he said worriedly, “If she doesn’t actually oppose this marriage, or even she is a little willing to this marriage, it will be my fault to disturb her in a hurry. Afterwards, she might have to be hurt when living here. She will be judged and gossiped by others, and it will be all my fault.”

 

Li Fuyao closed his mouth slightly and persuaded him, “Then you should go back. She has a good life anyway.”

 

Huang Jin said in amazement, “How do you know that she is having a good life?”

 

Li Fuyao asked, “How do you know she is happy with this marriage?”

 

Huang Jin was speechless for a while, not knowing what to say.

 

Based on Li Fuyao’s experience of being a wandering storyteller in a restaurant over the years, it was true that few people could compare with him in telling reasons.

 

But it was obvious that Huang Jin who was struggling in self-contradiction never got up. Li Fuyao sighed and turned to look at Qing Huai.

 

Qing Huai was silent for a moment, and said, “In the demon… In our hometown, whether men and women are in love is their own businesses. If one day one of them is forced to marry someone else, naturally, the other person can ignore it, but the people’s nature in my hometown is a bit violent. Most of them will simply fight when they meet with this kind of thing.”

 

Huang Jin raised his head and looked at Qing Huai. Li Fuyao also stood up and scoffed, “Enough, after reading so many books, his mind is full of sages’ reason without any courage.”

 

Huang Jin blushed, and soon stood up to knock on the door of the house.

 

Li Fuyao took a few steps back and gave no indication. He came to Qing Huai’s side, and asked curiously, “Is there really such a thing over your hometown?”

 

Qing Huai shook her head.

 

Li Fuyao frowned. He knew she was talking nonsense.

 

“However, such a thing did happen in that year. Otherwise I wouldn’t want to see how you guys grab your girlfriend back.”

 

Qing Huai looked calm.

 

Li Fuyao looked helpless. This girl with extraordinary background said everything in unclear ways.

 

Over there, Huang Jin just summoned up the courage to knock on the door of the house. When he knocked the first time, a woman pushed out the door. When she saw Huang Jin, the woman who was obviously the new bride frowned, “Huang Jin, why are you here?”

 

Huang Jin, who was originally brave enough, suddenly lost his spirit when he saw the woman’s expression. He lowered his head and explained bitterly, “I came back from the exam in capital and heard that you were married, I wanted to come and see how is everything going with you.”

 

The woman glanced at the machete behind him, and then turned to look at his shabby clothes. Her eyes were full of disgust. She leaned on the side of the door and said coldly, “Okay, now you have seen me. Why are you still here?”

 

Huang Jin responded and turned away. The woman did not want to look at him again, so she closed the door by herself. The moment the door was closed, no one knew whether it was because the sound was too loud or not, this young scholar directly sat down suddenly on the steps.

 

Huang Jin looked disappointed. It seemed that he had the spirit crushed out of him.

 

Li Fuyao had to walk to him and sit down again, looked at the machete Huang Jin was carrying without saying a word.

 

Huang Jin bowed his head in silence for a while, and quickly sniffed his nose, “When I haven’t left home and we were young, she said that she would stay with me all her life. After these years, there hasn’t been a decrease in affection between us. But why did she treat me like this?”

 

Li Fuyao whispered, “It’s hard to say.”

 

Huang Jin turned his head to look at Li Fuyao, and after watching him for a long time, Li Fuyao calmly said, “When she met you, you were naturally poor, and she had never seen a day other than poverty. So she was like that. When she hadn’t seen gold, she naturally thought that silver was the best in the world. But after seeing the gold, will she come back and hold the silver? Do you think it is possible? Besides, in fact, you can’t even be the silver. Maybe you’re just a copper plate. You should also know this, or you wouldn’t have gone to the capital to take the exam.”

 

Huang Jin sighed, “After reading these books for many years, actually I wrote the essays very bad. In nine out of ten, I will fail in the exam. It’s good for her to marry another one. At least she doesn’t have to live a tough life with me.”

 

Li Fuyao drew a deep breath, and said softly, “If I were you, I won’t be able to treat things so freely and easily. Even if I can’t win her heart back, at least I have to pull the man out and hit him.”

 

Huang Jin said helplessly, “But I can’t win him.”

 

Li Fuyao shook his head. He couldn’t help him even if he wanted to.

 

Sitting on the steps, he and Huang Jin had a few words, and all of these words came into Qing Huai’s ears. She stood in the distance and did not speak much. She waited until they were both thirsty. She came to the door of the mansion, looking at the door, reaching out hands and pushing the door. The whole door shattered suddenly.

Li Fuyao turned his head suddenly, not knowing what happened.

 

And Huang Jin was dumbfounded.
