Red Dust Daqian

The main culprit of the robbery was executed, and the abducted girls and children have returned to their families. Zhou Sen felt that the burden and pressure on him were released, and he felt much more relaxed.

Zhou Sen, in a good mood, returned to the Tianshi Mansion comfortably. He just sat down in the main hall and thought about how to arrange his leisure time. Xiangcao came over with a girl who had just been rescued last night. The girl was still wearing the Taoist robe that Zhou Sen put on her in a hurry yesterday. The Taoist robe was a little too big for the girl, but it still couldn't hide her beautiful figure and temperament. Looking at the girl wearing his Taoist robe, Zhou Sen's mind once again emerged with the scene of rescuing people last night. She was not covered by clothes, her body was curvy, plump and fair, and she was frightened but still charming.

When the girl saw Zhou Sen, she immediately knelt down to thank him for saving her life. Zhou Sen, who was immersed in vulgar memories, was awakened by the sudden kneeling, and he quickly leaned over to help the girl up.

"Miss, since you have been rescued and are free, why don't you go to the county government office to reunite with your family today?" Zhou Sen asked in confusion. Xiangcao and Zhao Tiechui had the same question and stared at the girl. The girl explained hesitantly, "My name is Xiao Zhuyu, and I came of age last year." Zhao Tiechui suddenly thought of something and interrupted, "Oh, you are the first bride who disappeared in the kidnapping case." Zhou Sen signaled Zhao Tiechui not to interrupt and let Xiao Zhuyu continue.

Xiao Zhuyu then described her life in detail. Xiao Zhuyu was a girl from Xiaojia Town, the next town to Changnan. Her family's ancestors made a living from the ceramic business, and after several generations of hard work, they also accumulated a lot of wealth. Xiao Zhuyu's grandfather loved her very much, and often taught Xiao Zhuyu some poems and songs, and she also learned a lot about business. After her grandfather passed away, the responsibilities of the head of the family, the ceramic business, etc. were handed over to Xiao Zhuyu's father. Because Xiao Zhuyu's father was uneducated and not good at management when he was young, the family business suffered losses for many years, and the family situation plummeted.

Later, Xiao Zhuyu's father became addicted to gambling, and his family property was lost one after another, and finally he owed a large amount of foreign debt. Since Xiao Zhuyu's father was unable to repay the debt, the creditors often forced their way to his home and beat Xiao's father. In order to repay the debt and avoid being beaten, Xiao Zhuyu's father even wanted to sell Xiao Zhuyu. Wang Yuanwai's family in Changnan County got the news from somewhere and knew that Xiao Zhuyu was good-looking, knew some poetry, and was considered a daughter of a wealthy family. So they entrusted the matchmaker to ask for marriage, in fact, they just wanted to buy her back to his son as a concubine. Xiao Zhuyu's father saw that Wang Yuanwai's family gave a generous gift, and he agreed without thinking. But later Xiao Zhuyu heard from others that Wang Yuanwai's son was simply a lunatic, often crazy, and it was said that his wife was beaten to death when he was crazy. Xiao Zhuyu informed her father of the situation and asked to cancel the engagement and return the gift, but her father, thinking about the debts he owed and the generous gift, turned a deaf ear to Xiao Zhuyu's words and what might happen to her in the future, and still cruelly sent Xiao Zhuyu to the bridal sedan.

"I didn't want to live with a lunatic after I got married. I was afraid of being beaten to death. So on the day of my wedding, I kept thinking about escaping and tried all the way. After many twists and turns, I was finally carried to Changnan City. It happened that when the wedding procession arrived at the city gate that day, the sky suddenly turned dark. People outside were panicked and in chaos. I took the opportunity to run away. Later I heard that it was the dog-wolf demon that caused chaos that day." "After escaping, I didn't dare to go home, for fear that I would be forcibly sent to Wang Yuanwai's house to be a concubine for his crazy son. I simply made up a rumor that I was abducted by the dog-wolf demon." Xiao Zhuyu narrated miserably. Zhou Sen thought to himself, no wonder Cui Qi used the dog-wolf demon to abduct people later. The rumor first came from you.

Zhou Sen asked again, "Then why were you caught by the kidnappers again?" Xiao Zhuyu continued, "When I first escaped, I was homeless, and it was inconvenient for a woman to travel. I pretended to be a scholar, doing accounts and writing letters for others to make money to support myself. I managed to survive this year." Zhou Sen sighed in his heart, were the ancient people blind? Such a plump and fair beauty can't hide her graceful figure even if she wears men's clothes. How can you not tell the difference between men and women? Xiao Zhuyu continued, "I have been pretending to be a man for the past year and dared not go out at night. It just so happened that the county government announced some time ago that it had killed the dog-wolf demon. I have seen you demonstrate your skills in the ring, and I still believe in you. I was itching to be myself for a long time, so I boldly changed back into women's clothes two days ago. I was afraid that old customers would see me dressed in women's clothes, so I chose to stroll around the street in the evening and then change back into men's clothes." Xiao Zhuyu cried, "Who knew that it was such a coincidence that I was spotted by that damn bandit that night, and I was kidnapped directly. Last night, the bandit was so lustful after drinking that he wanted to force me." "If you hadn't arrived in time and killed the gangster, I'm afraid I would have lost my innocence."

Xiao Zhuyu, who was crying, stopped crying and knelt down in front of Zhou Sen again, saying: "Thanks to you for saving me, I am willing to repay you with my body." This sudden change of mind caught everyone off guard. Zhou Sen could feel the murderous intent in the eyes of Xiangcao beside him. Zhou Sen hurriedly tidied his clothes and refused Xiao Zhuyu: "Miss Xiao, look at my clothes, I think you can see that I am a Taoist priest, we Taoist priests cannot get married." Xiao Zhuyu blushed and whispered: "Even if you are a Taoist priest, you can return to secular life. I know from the Taoist priest's eyes that he must not be an ordinary Taoist priest. If you must be a Taoist priest, I can also be a little Taoist nun and stay by your side." Zhou Sen could feel that Xiangcao was ready to draw her sword and kill him. Zhou Sen quickly continued to refuse, "Even if I return to secular life, I will marry Senior Sister Xiangcao first. I already have Senior Sister Xiangcao. Thank you for your kindness, young lady." Xiao Zhuyu insisted, "I don't care. It's okay to be a mistress. Anyway, my body has been seen by the Taoist priest, and I am his person. If the Taoist priest doesn't allow it, I will die in front of you. Anyway, I have no face to see anyone and I can't live anymore."

With a sound of "Ouch", Zhou Sen screamed like a pig being slaughtered. Xiangcao, who was furious, had already grabbed Zhou Sen's ear, and pulled out his sword, pretending to cut off Zhou Sen's ear. Zhao Tiechui, who had been trying to hold back his laughter for a long time, stepped forward to stop the fight. "Master Xiangcao, don't get excited. We can talk about it." He persuaded with a smile while trying to stop the fight. Xiao Zhuyu also grabbed Xiangcao's arm and said, "Senior Sister Xiangcao, don't make things difficult for my husband. If you want to kill someone, just kill me. I promised myself to you. Anyway, my husband doesn't want me, and I can't live anymore." Hearing this, the four people who were in a mess in the main hall were embarrassed again.
