Chapter 2

Suddenly, Mu Run felt that the voice was much quieter, and it was not so unbearable.

Then he let go of his hand, and faintly heard Liu's second child and Qiao Dongzi talking, mixed with a vaguely mid-low male voice.Liu Laoer and Qiao Dongzi were very respectful to the owner of the voice, and they didn't have the slightest jokes when they were on the road.

Is this person the bandit leader?
Mu Run wanted to see what this guy called the No. [-] pervert looked like, so he could avoid it when he met him later.

The bridal sedan has windows, and she raises her hand to lift the curtains...

Did not pull away!

It's a fake window sewn shut!

Mu Run: "..."

Since you can't see people, let's secretly listen.

Mu Run put his ear against the car wall, concentrated all his hearing, and finally heard something.

The suspected leader's voice: "After worshiping..."

After worship?Could it be an action after worship?

Suddenly, the sound of whistling and beating became louder again, and the sedan chair continued to move forward, which shocked Mu Run back to his senses.

Outside the bridal sedan chair, onlookers gathered together in small groups.

"Why is the Cao family going to have a funeral again?"

"What kind of funeral? Isn't this a happy event? How do you talk? It's shameful."

"Yo~ I didn't see it, you just came to our county, right?"

"How did you know?"

"The local people don't know that this old Cao family married four daughter-in-laws in half a year, and four of them died. The young master of the Cao family is a terrible wife!"

"Ah? So fierce!"

"That's right, people from all over the world sell their daughters into kilns, at least they can earn a living. If you marry Cao's family, you are selling your life! You will be stabbed in the back."

Everyone around said what was said, chattering in a hurry, and deliberately speaking loudly so that Mu Run in the sedan chair could hear.

Mu Run had already decided to run away, so what they said only strengthened her mind.He even secretly hoped that those bandits could do it sooner, so as to save nights and dreams.

Soon the sedan chair stopped, the sound of playing music became louder, and there were more and more people watching and gossiping around.

A Quanfu Xiniang with a smile all over her face entered the sedan chair.

Mu Run was covering his head at this time, and after hearing Xi Niang read a few auspicious words, he picked her up and got off the sedan chair.

This is not the same as the process Aunt Xin Lian taught her in Xin Lian's memory. It seems that several links have been omitted, such as kicking the sedan chair door, shooting flower arrows, and throwing blessing beans... None.

When entering the door, Mu Run carried her skirt and stepped over a huge brazier. She almost burned her clothes and crushed a thick pile of tiles before being sent to her new house. save.

No worship, is this a wife or a concubine?Mu Run is also a little ignorant of the ancient etiquette.

Pulling off the red hijab, Mu Run looked around the room. There were happy words pasted on the windows, red silk happy cloth strips hung on the beams, and a brand new happy quilt was spread on the bed with carved pillars. Some auspicious fruits were sprinkled on the quilt. Jujube longan melon seeds or something.

Suddenly a voice came from outside, Mu Run listened attentively.

"...The last young mistress only lived in this house for seven days. Guess how many days she can live? I'll buy you a catty of sweet-scented osmanthus cake."

"Three days! I saw the bride just now. She is as thin as a chicken. Three days is too much."

"That's fine, if she dies within three days, you win. After three days, even if I win, how about you buying me a catty of jujube cake?"

"No problem, I'll just wait for you to honor the sweet-scented osmanthus cake."

"Maybe she'll last three days."

"You, you still don't know much about our young master. All right, I'll go ahead."

"Go, go, I'll fetch water from the backyard."

The sound of footsteps gradually faded away, Mu Run frowned, and looked around the room again.

Different from the feeling just now, this time she inexplicably felt that the room was filled with yin, and there was a slight stench.Following the stench, she searched around the room, and finally stood in front of the wedding bed, looking at the red wedding quilt scattered with peanuts, jujubes, longan and melon seeds, hesitated, and stretched out her hand.

The Xi quilt was slowly lifted away, revealing the mattress under the Xi quilt, which was also brand new.

Suddenly, her gaze stayed between the mattress, where there was a piece of paper...

"Boom boom boom~" A knock on the door sounded.

Mu Run was startled, put away the paper first, and then remade the messy quilt, and said, "Come in."

A thirteen or fourteen-year-old, clever and delicate-looking little girl came in with a bowl of noodle soup, and she moved lightly, as if she was afraid that people would find out.

Mu Run blinked his dark eyes and said calmly, "Hello."

"Uh..." The little girl was stunned. She thought she would see a weeping bride. After all, the marriage was too crude, and she didn't even have a worship hall, as if she was here to die.

"Are the noodles for me?" Mu Run smelled the aroma of green onion soup noodles, and his stomach made a 'gululu' sound sincerely.

Although she didn't want to eat anything, her body was already starving, so I reminded her to eat, otherwise when she ran, if she couldn't run, she would be dumbfounded.

The little girl said: "Yes, it's for Young Mistress."

Hearing her voice, Mu Run understood that this was the girl who bet that she would live for more than three days.No wonder they brought food to her, hoping that she could live for three days, and help her earn that pound of jujube cake.

There was still a white egg lying in the noodle soup, looking at the egg, Mu Run asked, "What's your name?"

"My name is Hongmi. My mother said that when I was born, the red rice harvest in the field was abundant, so she named me Hongmi, and the young lady can also call me Xiaohong."

"Thank you for bringing me food."

"Young Mistress, you're welcome, I should do everything. Then you eat first, and I'll go out to work."

"Wait a minute." Mu Run called to stop Hongmi.

"Ok?"

Mu Run hesitated for a moment, and finally looked at the noodle soup in front of him, "You...will you leave Cao's house today?"

"Leaving Cao's house?" Hongmi didn't understand her words for a moment, but she still replied: "I was sent by my parents to Cao's house to pay the land rent, but my family had a good harvest last year, the land rent has been settled, and I can go home anytime. Now if you work an extra day, you will be given a day's wages. Today, the young master is married, and thanks to the young mistress, we servants can also get a few more rewards."

"Oh, then... I have something I want to ask you for your help. Of course, the reward is very considerable." As he said, Mu Run opened the piece of paper he saw just now, and showed it to Hongmi. It was a denomination of two taels bank note.

Hongmi's eyes widened immediately, and she immediately entered the room again, with a happy smile, "Young Mistress, just give orders."

"..." Mu Run recalled Xin Lian's memory again, and then said: "I have a box, which is a relic left by my parents. I forgot to bring it in a hurry today, but I am afraid that my uncle will clean up the room and give it to me. I threw it away, so I want to ask you to fetch it for me, the sooner the better.”

"Ah, the young mistress's natal family has been away from Gu County for a long time. If I go out now, it will be dark there, and I won't be able to make it back." Hongmi said, suddenly her eyes lit up, "I have a cousin who lives in the same village as my young mistress. , you can go to her house to stay for one night, and go back tomorrow morning after picking up your things, and you will be back around noon."

Mu Run smiled, "Okay, this bank note will be yours then."

Hongmi stared at the bank note with greedy eyes, "Young Mistress means what she says?"

"Of course, that box is very important to me!"

"Success, young mistress is waiting for my good news."

Mu Run heard Hongmi's footsteps getting farther and farther away, and said in a low voice: "There is no free food in the world, you give me a bowl of noodles, and I will send you to avoid disasters, and the two are settled."

……

Hongmi found the housekeeper and said that her mother had an emergency and had to go back to take care of the sick, and she would be back early tomorrow morning.

The butler is new to Cao's house and doesn't know much about Hongmi's house.But it is not false to think about it.Today was a big day for the Cao family, each of the servants had a reward of three copper coins, and no one was willing to leave before the reward was paid, so he nodded and agreed to her leaving.

Red rice went out through the back door.As soon as he went out, he met a man wearing a red belt, thought for a while and said, "Are you from the welcoming team?"

Liu Laoer copied both hands into his sleeves, and smiled innocently, "Yes, yes, the girl wants to go out?"

"Well. By the way, the folks who are entertaining the wedding team in front of them have good wine and good food. You should go and have a bite too. If you are late, there will only be leftovers."

"Let's go, girl, go slowly."

"You're welcome."

Waiting for Hongmi to go far away, Liu Laoer pulled out his hand that was hidden in his sleeve... He was holding a dagger in one hand!
