The Cultivation Family: I get married when I get old

"Why, if he gets the first prize, can he not come back to marry me?"

Ding Yao knelt down by the bridge and cried into tears.

I feel very wronged.

The old beggar looked at her calmly without saying a word, making any comforting movements, or even looking at her.

His butt never moved from the small pit where he usually lay.

"Do you even feel sorry for me?"

Ding Yao looked at him, then looked away, "You don't understand anything and love at all."

About ten days later, the old beggar passed by the bun shop sleepily.

"pat"

There was an extra bun at his feet, and he reached out and picked it up.

There was a voice in my ear, "Hey, why did the bun fall to the ground?"

The old beggar silently picked up the bun, put it in his mouth and chewed it without wiping it a few times.

Ding Yao seemed to have never seen someone so unafraid of getting dirty in her life. She just stared blankly. She vaguely felt that this person no longer cared about life or death, nor did he care about illness.

"You are a girl from the Ding family, right?"

The old beggar raised his head when he heard the sound. A woman dressed like a peasant woman found Ding Yao.

Ding Yao was a little suspicious, "Yes, I look familiar to you. I don't know what to call you."

"I am your fiancé's mother. I am here to tell you not to wait any longer and not to blame my son for being such a heartless man."

When Ding Yao heard this, her expression that was about to be furious instantly subsided, "Did he leave you in the countryside after he passed the No. [-] exam? To support someone else's mother?"

"No, my son encountered a large insect at Wubu Post on his way to take the exam. When he found it, there were only a few bones left."

"He didn't want you to wait, and he also wanted you to forget him as soon as possible, so he concocted this lie..."

Ding Yao's face was full of despair, "If he dies, he will die. What does it have to do with me?"

After saying that, she walked directly into the house with the three-layer steamer.

"Miss Ding, I am here to apologize to you. My home has been ransacked because we spread rumors that my son won the top prize and was punished by the court. Now I want to return to my hometown. This is my son's own study and savings." With the money, he was originally going to buy you a gold hairpin, but now that he is gone, I bought the gold hairpin back and put it here."

After saying that, she put the golden hairpin directly on the ground.

"squeak"

At this time, the door inside opened again, revealing Ding Yao's indifferent face.

"You guys take the golden hairpin back, otherwise I will leave it to the old beggar opposite."

The old woman hesitated again and again, but took the gold hairpin away. She watched her staggering, turning back three times to leave. The old beggar stared at her without saying a word.

Another year has passed, and the old and sick old bun shop owner seems to be unable to hold on any longer.

The beggar sat in front of the door and warmed himself by the fire with him. The strange thing was that it was still a hot day.

It was obvious that his body was already severely weak and cold.

I probably won't survive this summer.

The old beggar didn't say anything, he just sat with the old man. He didn't speak, and the old man spoke. After going back and forth for more than half a month, he could get some food from the store every day.

Finally... when the summer solstice was approaching, Ding Yao's cry came from the house, and the old shop owner died.

Ding Yao spent a hundred taels of silver to make him famous, but she didn't expect that the old guy's nieces and nephews would run out from nowhere and want to compete with her for the family property.

Moreover, the rules of this Xu country are really strange. Even these relatives who have not supported the old shop owner can also get a share of the pie.

Ding Yao was so angry that she compensated the bun shop to them and left alone.

Perhaps it was another failed blind date. When the old beggar saw her coming back, it was already two months later.

She rented a house by the water under the bridge and started doing laundry for others.

A piece of clothing and a copper coin are enough for her to survive.

"Old beggar, you don't know that I went back to observe mourning for two months, but no one came to pay homage to my father's grave. But those people got my family's property with liquor."

"It's ridiculous to say that last month, they closed the door and left. Obviously this bun shop can't continue to operate."

The old beggar said nothing. Ding Yao looked at him with some regret, thinking that it would be better if he was not mute.

Another half month passed, and the old beggar seemed to feel sorry for her. He raised a finger and wrote a line of words on the stone slab in front of the door.

[If you make money doing laundry like this, when will you be able to buy back that bun shop? 】

"Hey, it turns out you have read books and can write."

"That's good. From now on, you can tell me what you want to say, and I can talk with you to relieve your boredom."

As she said that, she lowered her head, "The day before yesterday, Mrs. Wang who helped me introduce the laundry customers, also wanted to help me introduce a marriage, but my father has passed away, and I don't want to leave here too far, otherwise I won't be able to come to worship him from time to time. .”

"The person who introduced me this time is not a scholar. He wants to marry me to Mr. Xu on the corner of the street and be his eighth concubine."

"His family is rich, but I can't bear to treat myself like this. Moreover, when my father was alive, he said that he would rather be a poor man's wife than a rich man's concubine. What's more, he is not an immortal. If he were an immortal, I would I would rather.”

[Then what kind of person are you looking for? 】

The old beggar's words hurt her deeply. She thought hard and then shook her head.

That's it.

The old beggar was about to return to the City God's Temple to rest, but suddenly there was a sound of fighting in the house by the river.

The moment he looked towards the house suddenly, a figure had already jumped into the cold and biting river water.

"Mr. Xu, you bullied a weak woman like me today. If I commit suicide by jumping into the river, your reputation will be ruined in the entire Dongzhou."

In front of the door, Officer Xu looked ferocious, and the flush on his face quickly dissipated. He failed to succeed, so he waved his hands fiercely and walked away without leaving any harsh words.

But when I got to the last step, I suddenly stepped on something. My feet slipped, and I rolled directly and fell into the river.

"Who will save me?"

"I am a member of the Communist Party of China. I have a fortune."

"Whoever can save me, I will give him a thousand taels of silver."

The old beggar was hiding in the corner of the bridge, where he couldn't see the movement on the river. Hearing that Yuan Wai was sinking in the river, the girl Ding Yao had already gotten up, wet all over her body. He turned his head and saw no one. He probably went back to wash clothes.

Holding the crutch in his hand, he walked slowly back to his City God's Temple. The broken bowl he had just found from the City God's Temple was nowhere to be found.

When he came back the next day, Miss Ding was probably too frightened to open the door.

He didn't bother either.

It was not until half a month later that a bloated corpse floated on the river and had begun to rot. Only then was it discovered by people nearby and recognized as the missing member Xu.

"That's her, Lord Official Chai. My father came to look for her that day." A young man from a wealthy family led Guan Chai to the steps beside the bridge. He pointed at Ding Yao who was washing clothes below, with a flash of greed in his eyes. Passed away, with only indignation and anger on his face.

"It wasn't me, it was him who slipped and fell." Ding Yao quickly shook her head and backed away.

"Then why didn't you call, why didn't you save him?" "I fell too, and I struggled to get up. I was exhausted. I hadn't been out for several days, and I had no strength..."

Ding Yao tried her best to explain, but the other party responded with a sneer, "Then who knows if you pushed the person down, or if you harmed my father first."

"I didn't. It was him who got interested, and I was just protecting myself. Besides, he scared me into the water first, and then he slipped on the ground and rolled down."

Soon, the official of the Yamen found an obvious trace of slipping under her identification. In the end, she was acquitted in the government's verdict.

But the news that Xu Yuanwai had teased her had also spread.

She hid in the house, hugging her legs and crying.

Because those talkative women outside almost ruined her reputation.

You are being teased before you get married, and your innocence may even be lost... How can you get married like this?
Soon, no more officials came to take in concubines, and even a widower came to stand by the bridge and tease him from time to time.

But he didn't dare go down because he would slip and fall, and he wouldn't know how to swim.

"Ouch, old beggar, I will never be able to get married in this life."

"At first, I could marry into a promising and innocent family, and then a rich man took a concubine because he liked my beauty. Now, as long as it comes from an innocent family, even the poor ones don't dare to come."

"Even the widowers want to humiliate me."

She looked at the rushing river in front of her and wanted to jump, but she held back.

Because she has already died once.

It's another year from spring to autumn.

The old beggar seemed to be even more unsteady.

There were no wrinkles on her face, and she seemed to have an excellent physique.

"call out……"

A stream of light directly cut off the bridge. The old beggar had just come out of the City God's Temple and was not affected. But the bridge was broken. How should he go to the other side to visit his Miss Ding?

Then he saw the figure of a beautiful woman in palace clothes landing on the edge of the house, "I am Nangong Yan, the elder of the Five Beast Sect's casual cultivators. I wonder if you are willing to worship me as your teacher and follow me to cultivate immortality?"

Ding Yao was stunned for a moment, "Maybe let my father come back to life?"

Nangong Yan didn't say a word.

"What if I find a good husband?"

"With your physique, it would be a pity to find an ordinary person. It will be too late for you to embark on the path of cultivation. You can consider these things after you have established your foundation."

After saying that, she carried Ding Yao with a flying sword and flew towards the mountains in the distance.

"Old beggar, live well. When I can come down from the mountain, I will come to see you."

She didn't seem to know that she would practice in this city. After all, this was the territory of the Xu family in Dongzhou, and the branch of the Five Beasts Sect she was going to belonged to the Xu family.

After eight years of busy work, the old beggar seemed to have forgotten his name.

When he was leaning against the slate in the laundry, ready to fall asleep, a beautiful shadow fell from the sky, stepped on the river a little, and then landed firmly on the ground.

"Old beggar, I just learned how to draw water from a dragonfly. Isn't it good?"

The old beggar tried his best to put on a wrinkled smile and nodded.

"I know you like it. Here, take the Marrow Cleansing Pill. It may make all the illnesses in your body disappear and allow you to live for decades longer. I will definitely be able to find a pill that makes people live longer. Please help me take the medicine when the time comes, because I don’t dare to take it.”

The old beggar also nodded and swallowed the marrow-cleansing pill directly.

"Okay, I'm going back. Master is looking for me, but I don't like one of her senior brothers very much. It seems to be her nephew, named Nangong Hui, who has been pursuing me, but I just want to practice."

"Swish"

After she took off in the air, the old beggar was already on his deathbed, because the effect of this marrow-cleansing pill was really beyond what a mortal like him could bear.

But he still wanted to wait for Ding Yao a little longer, waiting for her to come back next time.

"Swish"

About two years later, two figures, one chasing and one escaping, actually flew over the broken bridge close to the river and landed nearby.

The old beggar had only one breath left. He reluctantly opened his eyelids and looked at the river. At this time, Ding Yao was covered in blood and her face was extremely red.

"Ding Yao, don't run away. You are mine after all. As long as you practice dual cultivation with me, after I go back, I will ask my aunt to teach you the Golden Elixir Sword Code of my Five Beast Sect. From now on, you and I will break through the Purple Sword Code together." Mansion, stepping into the golden elixir is not like becoming a couple of gods and immortals."

"One of you or I will die here, either you die or I die."

"Chong."

Ding Yao has practiced swordsmanship all her life, which is something the old beggar did not expect. She chopped the sword on the opposite side to pieces with one sword, and when it penetrated her body, she also fell down.

Just like she fell into the river a few years ago, this time, she was still washed to the shore.

After the blood under her body flowed all over the ground, she raised her head and saw the old beggar sitting on the steps.

The old beggar had only one breath left. He tried his best to smile at her, but his breath was quickly disappearing.

"It's great to see an old friend again before he dies."

Ding Yao's eyes were filled with smiles.

She killed Nangong Hui and became her own master.

If he doesn't die here today, he will be killed by Nangong Yan when he returns.

That woman's motives were not pure when she accepted her as her disciple.

"Come on, people seem to be dead here."

I don't know how long it took before someone discovered their traces.

When many people gathered around, a figure fell through the air and dispersed everyone.

"Mortal, get out."

Seeing the people watching around being scared to death, Nangong Yan came to the steps with a long sword. With one sword, he swept away the body of the old beggar, who was as skinny as firewood, leaving only skin and bones, and rolled down to the river.

Ding Yao, who was nestling next to the river, was stared at by her.

"I saw Hui'er's birth card broken that day and went all the way to find it. I didn't expect that it was you, a foxy person, who harmed him. He is the genius of our Nangong clan who is most likely to break through the golden elixir."

"Today, I will cut you into pieces."

After saying that, she took action.

But the moment he raised his sword, his whole body froze in place.

Deep in the river bottom, the old beggar's appearance began to change, and gradually turned into a handsome middle-aged man. He walked forward, landed on Ding Yao's body, and reached out to touch her eyebrows.

Nangong Yan opposite was shocked because there was still a statue of this man standing in Dongzhou City. That statue was 180 feet high, 99 feet wide and weighed [-] million kilograms.

The appearance is exactly the same as the one in front of me.

Did he and Ding Yao know each other?
"Silly girl, they can't marry you, that's because you are destined for me." He murmured to himself, reaching out and stroking the withered hair, which turned black in an instant.

"This world is mine. If I don't want to, who can get close to you?" (End of Chapter)
