Flowers are expensive

Chapter 32 Ten-Day Covenant
Lihua took the words and said: "Then you have to plan the route map first, and prepare dry food and pockets. I remember that when I came to Zique Mountain, it took a whole day to ride a carriage from the town to here, and then I walked for two weeks on foot. An hour. According to this calculation, it will take at least four or five days for us to go out."

Hong Ling nodded and said: "Although the road to the town is a bit far away, there are no people along the way. It's all mountain roads, so it's easier to escape. I'm afraid we might meet wolves, tigers, etc. on the way, the three of us Weak women can't stand it at all."

As soon as Huang Ying said this, cold sweat broke out on her forehead, she shook her head and said, "The three of us alone may not be able to get out."

"Then you still plan to take your Liang Bai with you?" Lihua asked, "We are all at this point. If we don't leave, we will die. If we leave, we will die. I would rather die under the tiger's paws, and be happy and clean! What do you two want?" Alright, I'll go to Yutong and the others to find out the route, I'm going to go anyway, I won't force you to go or not, so as not to complain later."

After lunch, the three of them muttered in the room for a while.Later, she remembered the dozens of copper coins, and went back to her room.When entering the door, Man Ting was changing clothes, she quickly looked away and said: "Sorry, next time I will knock on the door before I enter."

Man Ting put on his clothes with her behind his back, and asked her while tying his belt, "What are you looking for?" She said, "I asked you to give me the copper coin, didn't I promise to give it to Grandpa Tian? If the matter that was explained is done properly, we will not owe each other any more."

"Before you leave? Have you already thought about when to leave?" Man Ting asked.

"I haven't set a specific date, but—" Lihua took the copper plate and weighed it in her hand, smiled unnaturally at the whole court and said, "It will be a matter of time before you leave, you knew this early in the morning, and you won't go Tell me? I don't see you like that."

"Since you thought about leaving early in the morning, why are you so angry today when you found out about going back to your in-law's house to admit your relatives?"

These words were like a basin of cold water being poured directly from the top of Lihua's head, causing her to shiver all over, so that the copper plate just thrown up in her hand couldn't catch it.Ding Dang Dang scattered all over the ground, she hurriedly bent down to chase the copper coins.

When she bent down, she was thinking, yes, she planned to leave early in the morning, why did she react so strongly after hearing about that incident?It's been a while?Regardless of whether he recognizes his relatives or not, he and Xie Manting will be strangers in the future!

After picking up the copper plate, Lihua was about to go out, but was blocked by the whole courtyard.Man Ting looked at her and asked, "You haven't answered me yet."

Lihua was a little embarrassed, thought for a while and said, "I'm... worried for Hong Ling and Huang Ying. Needless to say, we are just a fake couple; but Hong Ling and Huang Ying are different, and now they look like Cao Haitang and Liang Bai is just an anonymous Lushui couple. Isn't this bullying to the Buddha's grandma's house? I feel very angry."

"Aren't we two couples in name only?" "I take it back. I was wrong. I mistakenly thought that I could be more or less your wife. But now it seems that I can't even count as a concubine." Come on. So, you can marry your first room with peace of mind in the future, and for me, you will treat it as a roommate who has talked with you for a while, and I will go first. "

Lihua walked out of the house with a guilty conscience, clenched the small coin purse tightly, ran out of the yard gate like a thief, then leaned against the wall and let out a long sigh of relief.When she stopped, she realized how fast her heart was beating, pounding like thunder.

She hurriedly suppressed her heart, lowered her head and stared at the position of the right atrium and said to herself: "Can I be more confident? When did my level fall to this level? What are you messing about? I'm getting old and convulsing? Jump around again, be careful that I will strangle you to death, and we will die together!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Who are you going to die with?" Grandma Yun happened to walk over from Yantang and heard Li Hua's last words.

"Oh, no one, your old man went out for a walk?"

"Just look at my ducks. Come here, I have something to tell you." Grandma Yun took a look at her, and pulled her to sit on the laundry slate beside the bamboo forest by the weir pond.

"What's the matter, Grandma Yun? It's so mysterious." Lihua asked with a smile.

"You're not in a hurry, the Xie family didn't admit you?" "Why am I in a hurry? Will I admit it or not!" Lihua said lightly.

"Cough! You girl, you're talking nonsense again! If the Xie family doesn't admit it, what kind of onion are you in this village? You don't even have a place to stand! If you don't think for yourself, you have to go forward for you Think about it?" "You old man is too worried? Where did the child come from?"

"Not now, maybe in a year or two. If Xie's family refuses to recognize you, maybe even the child won't recognize you. What a crime that child is! So, you have to ask Man Ting to take you back to Xie's family to confess Darling, coax Mrs. Xie to be happy, drink your daughter-in-law's tea, and it's over. I've thought about it for you, and the best way is to get pregnant as soon as possible."

"No...it's okay, Grandma Yun?" Li Hua stuck out her tongue, looked at the old man in surprise and asked, "You thought of all this for me?"

"You are young, and you are a foreigner. You have not experienced many things, and you don't know the rules of this village. Naturally, you don't care. But for women, your status is more important than your life! If you are bullied, who will decide for you? Don't blame Man Ting for not taking you back. He likes you and doesn't dislike you, but there are old grandma, old lady, brother and sister-in-law at home, especially Mrs. Xie , he was angry, and he must be angry with you if he brought you back, he didn't take you back immediately to meet his relatives because he felt sorry for you, understand?"

"Ah... is that so?" Lihua's heart began to convulse again, "How do you know so much? Xie Manting told you?"

"You don't need him to tell me, I can see it. If he doesn't like you, how can he help you talk back to the housekeeper? It rained so hard this morning, but he still ran back to bring you the ointment Isn’t it good for you? I haven’t seen him treat other girls so well. So, you have to conceive a child, maybe for the sake of the child, Mrs. Xie can let you in. "

"You are really kind to Xie Manting!" Lihua said sincerely.

"Alas..." Grandma Yun stood up slowly and said, "It's all my fault, can I pay it back myself?"

"What do you mean?"

"It's nothing interesting, but you have to remember what I said. Go back and discuss it with Manting, and find a good day to go back. That's a good idea! To be honest, the village doesn't dislike the three of you, can you?" Find out how many? Manting doesn't dislike you, and treats you kindly, you should really repay him with your heart and soul."

"I……"

"What am I, am I wrong? Did Man Ting treat you badly?"

"Okay..."

"You have a bad family background, and your man doesn't dislike you. Where can you find such a good job? You should be satisfied!" After finishing speaking, Grandma Yun walked slowly to the courtyard gate, leaving Lihua stunned for a while, Pointing to himself, he said, "I...what's wrong with my background? Sister, I have a high degree of education, high income and high income...forget it, the more I think about it, the worse it gets! I'm sending you coins!"

That night, Manting and Haitang chatted for a while in the front yard before returning to their own room.Lihua was still asleep, lying on her bed and drawing something.Man Ting approached and knelt down to take a look and asked, "What are you drawing? A map?"

"Don't peek," Lihua rested her chin in one hand and drew on the paper with the other, "This is my escape route map, I can't just show it to idlers like you."

"Let me see." Man Ting stretched out his hand and grabbed it.

"I told you not to read it!" Lihua hurriedly put down the pen and reached out to grab it, but Man Ting got up and avoided it.Man Ting took a few glances and said with a smile: "If you really follow your route map and escape, you will definitely enter the forest to feed the tiger."

"Are there really tigers around here?" Lihua hurriedly asked.

"Yes, there are tigers, wolves, wild boars, night owls, and owls. If you go to the cave, you may even meet bats."

"Bat?" Lihua immediately thought of vampires, and said with a shudder, "So scary? Xie Manting, did you scare me on purpose?" Manting returned the map to her and said, "Why should I scare you? Fact. Where did you find out about the route?"

"Yutong told me."

"She has never been to the town, and at most wanders around the hills around here. How can she know the way out of the mountains to the town? If you paint according to her words, you will definitely not be able to get out of the mountains."

"Have you ever been to the town?" Lihua suddenly asked with a smile.

"I've been there, what's the matter?"

"Then help me draw, okay?" Lihua asked expectantly. "Not good." After Manting finished speaking, he turned and walked to the bed, took off his shoes and lay down on his back.

Lihua got up from the floor, ran to the bed and asked, "Why don't you draw for me, Xie Manting? Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda!"

"Why do I need so many pagodas? I'm not my mother and those women, these words can't coax me." Man Ting said with his eyes closed.

"You really don't want to help me draw? If I get lost in the mountains, eaten by tigers or bitten by bats, can you feel at ease? You know the way out of the mountains but you don't help me draw. It's not kind at all to be a human being." !"

"I'm not kind in nature." Man Ting replied to her flatly.

Lihua was so angry that she was about to vomit blood, pointing at the whole courtyard and asked, "You... you, you, you, you, you really don't want to help me draw? Then I will report on you, saying that the two you killed were not bandits, but... like You are from the imperial court, maybe you are an official, by the way, they still say you are a deserter..."

Man Ting suddenly opened his eyes and stood up, startling Li Hua, before he could back up, Man Ting stretched out his hand and pinched her wrist.While struggling to break free, she asked nervously: "Xie...Xie Manting, do you really want to kill people to silence your mouth? Let go of your claws!"

"You reminded me," Man Ting squeezed her wrist vigorously, and said with a flat expression, "It seems that I have to reconsider whether to let you go. In case you go to the town, tell me about it What should I do?"

"Isn't you so shameless, Xie Manting!" Lihua raised her mouth and said, "I just said it casually, just to scare you. You saved me at that time, and I won't really report on you. If you don't tell me Draw, I can figure it out on my own, let it go!"

"Are you afraid that I will silence you?" Man Ting asked with a wicked smile on his face without letting go.

"I'm afraid, the little girl is scared. In front of you, the little girl is just a little ant. You can trample the little girl to death at any time! But you won't do such an immoral thing, right? Xie Daxia, let go Come on, the little girl's hand is about to break!"

"Are you going to report me?"

"I'm not going, I'm not going, is this the head office?" Lihua was so anxious that she jumped up her legs.But Manting just didn't let go, looked at her with a faint smile and said, "Qin Lihua, I've changed my mind."

"Huh?" Lihua stopped trying to break free, and asked him with a look of surprise, "What did you change your mind about?"

"If you don't leave within ten days, then I won't let you go again." "Ten days?" Li Hua opened her eyes wide, pouted her mouth, and looked at Man Ting with dissatisfaction.
