The head of urban peach blossom

Chapter 755

After a few days, Hua Xiaolou and Liu Yiyi had some gains respectively.

Together, the two gathered five tokens, three strange beads, and three incomplete animal skins that were suspected to be maps.

The village head said before that there are four such incomplete maps, and they are only complete when they are put together.

Get three at once?
However, Hua Xiaolou discovered that two of the three were duplicates.

In other words, this is given randomly?
And at this time, the woman called Axiu by the villagers finally returned to the village.

When seeing her for the first time, Hua Xiaolou felt that this woman was definitely not like an ordinary mountain dweller, no matter her temperament or her attire, she looked more like a lady from a great family.

After Liu Yiyi had many contacts with her, in addition, I just learned that Axiu's full name is Chu Xiu, and she is indeed not a villager here, but from a scholarly family.

And here is her mother's natal home.

Her mother is not the main wife.At that time, Chu Xiu's father took a fancy to Chu Xiu's father because of her outstanding Shui Ling.

However, after marrying, Chu Xiu's mother did not live happily.

Although she is well-clothed and well-fed, she is often bullied by the main house and the other two side houses.The three women always thought that Chu Xiu's mother was just a country girl who stepped into a wealthy family and competed for their favor, so they were naturally a little unhappy.

Chu Xiu's mother never complained in front of her husband, and endured everything silently.

Later, she gave birth to Chu Xiu, and her status was even lower... After all, most of the wealthy families were patriarchal, including her husband, who also became indifferent to her.

For this reason, Chu Xiu's mother simply put all her energy on her daughter, found someone to teach her chess, piano, calligraphy and painting, and cultivate her daughter's temperament and quality. She hoped that her daughter would not be looked down upon when she grew up, and would not repeat her old ways.

Chu Xiu is also up to the challenge, she has shown extraordinary talent at a young age, and has become a well-known talented woman.

But in this way, it even aroused the jealousy of the main house and the other two side houses, and even asked people everywhere, trying to send Chu Xiu out early, so as not to steal the limelight...

At that time, there were many men who liked Chu Xiu. After all, Chu Xiu's talent was astonishing, and she was also very lively.

Therefore, many people came to propose marriage.

But Chu Xiu didn't like it. She was talented and arrogant.

When he was 16 years old, his father chose a son from an official family and wanted to make a marriage arrangement, but Chu Xiu refused and quarreled with his father.

In a rage, his father beat Chu Xiu up and imprisoned her.

Chu Xiu's mother has always been weak, but she fought bravely that time, and was beaten in the end. She was so depressed that she couldn't afford to get sick...

In less than a month, the fragrance disappeared.

The death of her mother hit Chu Xiu hard.She hated this family, hated her father, hated those three women... After all, her mother was only in her 30s, married into the Chu family and suffered all the time, and eventually died of illness because of her daughter's marriage.

However, even though Chu Xiu hated her, she didn't do anything drastic. She just found an opportunity to escape and fled to a small village...

Although her grandparents have passed away, she still has three huts left behind so that she can settle down.

The villagers sympathized with what happened to their mother and son, and when they first came, they all helped Chuxiu, sending her food, clothes, quilts and so on.

And Chu Xiu is not comparable to ordinary young ladies.

When she has nothing to do, she teaches the children in the village to read and write, or goes to the mountains to collect medicine, and helps some villagers see a doctor.Although she is not a doctor, but she understands some pharmacology, and some minor ailments are not a problem.

Not long after, her father came to arrest Chu Xiu with several servants from the Chu family, but Chu Xiu was determined not to return, and the villagers were reluctant to let her go, so they helped drive away the people.

Later, Chu Xiu's father came several times, but Chu Xiu had made up her mind and said that she would never return to the Chu family for the rest of her life. If it wasn't for the love of her blood, she would even change her surname.

In desperation, Chu Xiu's father could only accept his fate.

Not long after, two scholars heard about Chu Xiu and came to the village one after the other...they had heard of Chu Xiu's talent before.

But at that time, Chu Xiu was everyone's daughter, and the family entrusted people to find all the sons and brothers of the right family. The two of them thought that their family was poor and they could not climb high.

But now, Chu Xiu has left the Chu family, which made them see Chu Xiu's unique integrity and admire her even more in their hearts.

After arriving in the village, they built two huts on the mountain, and went to the village to help the villagers when they had nothing to do, or chanted poems with Chu Xiu.

After all, Chu Xiu is not an ordinary woman, and she doesn't shy away from men and women. She just treats the two of them as ordinary friends, drinking tea and wine, playing the piano, and talking about poetry, and living a carefree life.

In fact, in her heart, including all the villagers, she could see the intentions of the two scholars.

It's just that the two of them didn't talk about it, and Chu Xiu didn't talk about it. Everyone had a tacit understanding, and the friendship between gentlemen was as light as water.

In order to make a living, Chu Xiu sometimes makes some embroidery and sells it in small towns.

The village is nearly a hundred miles away from the small town, and the road is not safe.However, every time she went there, Chu Xiu would accompany the villagers, because the villagers would go to the city to sell mountain products from time to time, and they would go there for a few days.

Once, a scholar named Liu Sheng saw Chu Xiu by accident in the city, and he was immediately fascinated by it. He bought all her embroidery and said he would order some...

In fact, this is nothing more than trying to create opportunities for the two to meet and communicate.

Not long after, Liu Sheng came to the village and gradually learned about Chu Xiu. He admired Chu Xiu's courage and determination from the bottom of his heart.

After all, it would be very difficult for another young lady to make such a decision.

Instead of living a pampered life, she would rather go to the mountain village to collect medicines and embroider to live, to teach the villagers how to read, or to drink, recite poems, and play the piano under the moonlight. She is a rare woman who is rare in a century.

Moreover, when Liu Sheng first came to the village, he planned to find an opportunity to express his love to Chu Xiu, but found that there were two other competitors here...

At the beginning, Liu Sheng was somewhat hostile towards the other two, and also somewhat misunderstood Chu Xiu, thinking that she was a bit arrogant...

It was later discovered that this was not the case.

Maybe it's Chu Xiu's natural personality, or maybe it's because of her mother's affairs. Chu Xiu doesn't care about men and women. She is only obsessed with a free and worry-free life.

Reading books, picking herbs, reciting poems, playing the piano, painting... Sometimes, I feel like a scholar.

Slowly, Liu Sheng also began to integrate into this kind of life, often coming to the village, and the four of them were like close friends...

After learning these details, Hua Xiaolou couldn't help discussing this with Liu Yiyi in private.

In the past, Hua Xiaolou believed that pure friendship between men and women was unlikely.

Some so-called confidants, maybe everyone didn't have any ideas at first, but after a long time, maybe a drunkenness, or a casual ambiguity, might break the broken relationship...
