Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 43 Overnight
Hearing Widow Du crying in the room, Li Xiuyuan also put down his practice, went to find out what happened, and explained what happened before by the way, so that the widow would not have any depression in her heart, and would have to seek death and life again.

After entering the house, he saw that Widow Du was sobbing again at this time, and at the same time, she found a piece of fabric from nowhere, tied it into a knot, and hung it on the beam.

This is the rhythm of seeking death again.

"Widow Du, what are you doing?" Li Xiuyuan was slightly angry at this moment, and shouted.

He thought about it before, turned around and went back to the Taoist temple to look for this Widow Du, and just arrived to save her life by coincidence, but he didn't expect that she would seek death and life after waking up, which made him a little angry.

Widow Du was appalled by this, she just wanted to step on the wooden bench and hang herself from the beam, but at this moment her body trembled, she stood on the spot, her head was slightly lowered, and she didn't dare to seek death any more.

"I didn't save you by making you commit suicide, otherwise I wouldn't have carried you out of that mandrill's cave that day." Li Xiuyuan said, "Don't do such stupid things again in the future."

"But, but I don't have the face to face people anymore." Widow Du lowered her head and cried, not daring to raise her head to meet people.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Why are you ashamed to see people? Isn't it because you have failed to hang yourself? There is nothing to be ashamed of at this time. Besides, I will not publicize this matter. As long as you don't tell it, no one in the village will know about it." .”

"No, it's not about this, it's about something else." Widow Du said in tears.

"It's not this matter, what is it? You tell me, and I will enlighten you." Li Xiuyuan said.

Widow Du wept and shook her head, unable to speak, unwilling to tell what happened before.

Li Xiuyuan said: "If you don't tell me, how would I know what happened to you? Don't you even trust me?"

Widow Du was questioned repeatedly by Li Xiuyuan. In the end, she had no choice but to cry while telling what happened just now intermittently, saying that she was fascinated by her mind, hugged with mountain spirits, and was taken advantage of .

What Li Xiuyuan heard was a little funny: "So this is the thing, I thought it was something, the things that happened to you before are all illusions, there is no man with you at all, you are fascinated by the ghost who was hanged , you are the only one hanging on the rope from the beginning to the end."

"It's not that the man is holding you tight, but the rope is strangling you. You are so confused that you can't tell the real from the fake."

When Widow Du heard that it was a fake, she became a little excited, and quickly asked: "But young master, if it's fake, why did my clothes get ripped open?"

Li Xiuyuan immediately coughed a few times: "That's not going to be done by hanging. I unbuttoned your shirt for you. You're almost out of breath. I'm just helping you."

"It was so"

Widow Du was ashamed and happy at the same time, she just felt that the depression in her heart had disappeared, and she no longer felt grief and indignation and had the idea of ​​seeking death and life.

However, she thought of something again, and asked worriedly: "But I clearly feel that someone is touching me."

"Absolutely not. I'm squeezing your heart or helping you breathe. I'm healing you, not taking advantage of you." Li Xiuyuan said righteously.

Widow Du blushed immediately when she heard the words. It turned out that the person who unbuttoned her skirt and touched her was not someone else, but the young master.

Seeing her shy look, Li Xiuyuan said with some embarrassment: "What I said is true, I didn't lie to you."

"I believe what the young master said."

Widow Du lowered her head and replied in a soft voice, but a pair of slender hands were nervously grabbing the corners of her clothes and stirring them constantly, it seemed that the woman's heart was not at peace.

"Just believe it, don't look for death anymore." Li Xiuyuan said.

"I've listened to the young master, I'm not looking for death." Widow Du said.

Li Xiuyuan nodded: "That's good. Since there's nothing else to do, I'll take you down the mountain. It's getting late now, and no matter how late, the mountain road will be invisible."

Widow Du stayed where she was and didn't speak, but looked at Li Xiuyuan secretly, as if hesitating.

When Li Xiuyuan was about to leave, he suddenly heard thunder in the sky, as if a heavy rain was coming.

"Master, Eldest Young Master, there's thunder. I'm afraid it's going to rain heavily. We'd better stay overnight in the Taoist temple and go back tomorrow." Widow Du exhaled slightly and quickly mustered up her courage.

"Alright, this thunderstorm came quickly, and it might come down halfway. It just so happens that my master is not there. You can rest in my room. I will go to my master's room to rest, and I will go down the mountain tomorrow." Li Xiuyuan said.

Widow Du nodded and responded.

"Call me if you have anything, I can hear you." Li Xiuyuan said, and went back to the opposite Wu's room to rest.

night.

There were bursts of thunder outside, and the torrential rain was urgent.

Widow Du tossed and turned on the wooden couch, unable to sleep, in her mind.

What happened during the day made it difficult for her to calm down, and when she finally calmed down, she couldn't help but think of the things that Aunt Wang had repeatedly told her before.

"Using the pretext of inviting the young master to a drink, accompany the young master and Xiao Su for a few drinks, and then wait for the opportunity to say something to express your heart, and take this opportunity to make this marriage possible."

Aunt Wang's idea for herself is still in her mind.

Although there was a change, but tonight at least I and the young master were in the Taoist temple, and even the Taoist priest was traveling outside, so he was no longer in the Taoist temple.

Coupled with the wind and rain outside, it seemed like a good opportunity.

Thinking of this, Widow Du's heart was pounding, she felt blushing and could no longer calm down.

In the end, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he got off the couch softly, and then mustered up his courage to walk towards the bedroom where Li Xiuyuan was.

"I'm already a widow. I'm not a girl from a good family. If I didn't try to be thicker, I would have missed this opportunity. If the young master took a fancy to me tonight, even if I died tomorrow, I would be willing." Du The widow thought silently in her heart.

Originally, I was alone and had no relatives at home, so I finally met my beloved, although their identities were very different, but I was content to be a maid serving tea and water for the young master.

Besides, Aunt Wang was not wrong, if she would take advantage of any idler in the future, she might as well follow the young master first, even if the young master didn't accept it, she had the right to repay the young master for saving his life.

The Taoist bedroom has no door, only a door cloth to cover it.

Widow Du walked into the room lightly, and through the light outside, she could see that Li Xiuyuan was lying on the couch and had fallen asleep.

She exhaled slightly, with great nervousness and shyness, lifted a corner of the quilt beside her, and then quickly got in.

Having reached this point, Widow Du simply let go, and her whole body was entangled in Li Xiuyuan's body.

"Who?" Li Xiuyuan was startled awake.

Even if you fall asleep and are pressed down by someone, you still have to wake up.

"Yes, it's me." Widow Du's voice trembled nervously, curling up in the man's arms.

"Why is it you? Why did you come to my place in the middle of the night?" Li Xiuyuan was startled at first, thinking that some monster was approaching him, but he didn't expect it to be Widow Du.

Widow Du's face was hot, and she said shyly, "I, I like Eldest Young Master."
