continuation [farming]

There was silence in the hood, save for the rumble of the wheels.

Li Mu didn't speak, Xia He seemed to be angry, and made a bet on who would speak first.It's just that the atmosphere was too dull, and Xia He couldn't bear it in the end. In order not to speak first, he brought all the snacks over, started to eat them, and ate them all by accident.

He patted his belly, and it got even more stuffy.

Li Mu remained motionless, as if the person sitting there was not a living person but a giant Buddha, reading a book all the time.Xia He couldn't take it anymore, squatted in front of Li Mu, raised her head, looked up from the bottom, and saw Li Mu's eyes that were obviously lost.

He simply stretched out his hand to Li Mu's book, blocking the words on it.Li Mu didn't respond.

Xia He sighed and sat back down again.

It wasn't until the coachman yelled several times when he arrived at the inn where Li Mu was staying tonight, that Li Mu came back to his senses.

Xia He stared straight ahead, put on a serious look, and got out of the carriage.He followed behind Li Mu, only thinking of waiting for Li Mu to say, "Please prepare two rooms for the store" as usual, and then the two of them went back to the house and had a good talk with Li Mu.

But he never thought that Li Mu actually asked for three rooms today.

Xia He was stunned, standing at the door of the shop, not moving.

Li Mudao said: "I haven't recovered from my illness, so don't let me get sick."

Xia He looked into Li Mu's eyes, Li Mu didn't dare to look at Xia He, Xia He knew he was not telling the truth.He didn't want to stay here anymore, so he shook his head and said, "Then... I'll go out first and see if there are any snacks here that I haven't seen before."

After finishing speaking, before Li Mu could respond, Xia He turned around and left.

He was depressed in his heart, obviously it was Li Mu who said first that he wanted to be his wife, why did Li Mu retreat back?

He said he was looking for fresh food, but this time Xia He didn't have the interest to find out where the busiest street was, but walked around indiscriminately.Suddenly, he heard someone shouting: "Young master over there, come here.—Huh? Young master?"

Xia He didn't even bother to raise her eyelids to see who was calling.

Until he was patted on the shoulder, and when he turned around, he saw a face grinning almost to the ears.

It was a Taoist priest, holding a banner in his hand, with the words "Fortune Telling by Half Immortal" written on it.

Xia He pouted, not interested in paying attention.It stands to reason that he should ask someone to leave politely, but it's a pity that Xia He didn't even want to be polite today, so he turned around and wanted to continue walking.

The Taoist yelled: "Hey, young master! Don't rush away, listen to the old Taoist! - No money!"

Xia He only glanced at the man from the corner of his eyes. Although he had white eyebrows and white hair, he had a young man's face, which looked weird.

He said: "You can't even distinguish between men and women, what kind of life is it? I'm leaving, don't catch up."

The Taoist made a gesture of stroking his beard, not caring that he didn't have a beard at all, put on an inscrutable look, and said: "I can't see it, or the young man doesn't want to say it, you know for yourself .”

Xia He frowned, and then carefully sized up the Taoist.Did he really see it?

Seeing that Xia He seemed to believe him, the Taoist hurriedly said: "Young master, I have traveled thousands of miles to find you, just to give you a proverb."

Xia He stared at him, wondering what kind of medicine this Taoist was selling in his gourd.

The man paused for a while, and was disappointed when he didn't wait for Xia He's questioning, but said embarrassingly: "I see that the marriage line of the young master is faintly broken, so I came here specially to talk to you, and the most important thing is to pursue your true heart. ——You , ask yourself, who do you like? Who he is is the most important thing, whether he is a man or a woman, a human or a ghost, it doesn’t matter what path he takes in the future.”

Xia He didn't respond even more, but when the Taoist priest mentioned it, he began to ponder over this issue.

Who does he like?

"I like a lot of people." Xia He insisted.

"Like is not the same as liking. The kind of liking I mentioned is ultimately for the purpose of having sex with each other." The Taoist is not serious, he holds one hand in a circle, and stretches out his index finger with the other hand, making a gesture of poking in and out, laughing Said, "Who do you want to do with others, what you can never do with others?"

Li Mu.

These two words quickly popped into Xia He's head, and there was no other choice at all.

Seeing Xia He like this, the Taoist smiled even brighter: "That's right! In vain I found such a marriage for... cough cough!" He was halfway through speaking, but seemed to realize that he had said something that he couldn't say , coughed twice, looked at Xia He, and patted his chest.Fortunately, this kid was immersed in his own thoughts and didn't hear what he just said.

As soon as he was relieved, the Taoist heard Xia He ask: "You said that this marriage was found by you? Are you Yuelao?"

Although Xia He asked this question, he obviously didn't believe it himself, looked the Taoist up and down, then shook his head: "Yue Lao should be an old man."

"Cough... the old Taoist came from where he came from, not someone with roots. Young master, meeting is fate, so don't look for where the fate came from." He shook his head and pretended to be profound again.

Xia He pouted, and asked, "You mean, if I like it, you want me to tell him?"

"Of course!" The Taoist laughed even more happily, "You can teach a child!"

"But he won't agree to me." Xia He was still annoyed by Li Mu.

"Then go after her! ——Anyway, you are all men, not big girls, so be reserved." The Taoist hesitated when he saw Xia He, and what he said was even more outrageous.

"If I go after him, will he agree to me?" Xia He asked.

"Marriage is destined, you and that person are bound by a red thread." The Taoist smiled mysteriously.

Xia He thought about it again, and nodded: "Okay, then I'll go after it!" After all, he didn't care that he found an excuse to go out to buy some snacks, so he ran outside, empty-handed, and he was about to go out immediately Go to the inn.

Seeing Xia He leaving, the Taoist rolled up the flag, carried it behind his hands, shook his head, and muttered: "This little child is better than his father to listen to advice, so I don't need to make a special trip."

Suddenly there was a shadow in front of him, which startled the Taoist: "Oh!" It was Xia He again.

Xia He ran back again, holding some copper coins in his hand, seeing that the Taoist priest was frightened by him, he said: "Isn't the Taoist priest able to pinch and count, but he didn't figure out that I want to come back?"

The Taoist rubbed his nose and pretended to be deliberate: "If no matter how big or small, you have to count everything and grasp every moment in your hands, then there will be no surprises in this life." , how boring."

Xia He didn't bother to pay attention to his nonsense, he seemed to be able to make up a reason just by catching any question, why did he look at Lan like a mother?He counted out five copper coins, handed them to the Taoist priest, and said, "That half-immortal in Raonan Town received five copper coins for asking questions. I didn't give it to you indiscriminately. If you want more, that's fine." No!"

"Young master, didn't I tell you that I don't charge money." The Taoist said, but he held the five copper coins in his palm with a smile.

Xia He said: "I'm not greedy for people's money. Since you came here to give me advice, then you deserve it. Thank you, Daoist." Xia He saluted decently, but it was a pity that he Still wearing women's clothes, it looks weird.

It's just that this Taoist didn't know how to make jokes. Instead, he bowed his eyebrows, accepted his salute, and waved his hand, telling him to go back quickly.

There is nothing unbearable about the ceremony, the Taoist knows that he is two generations older than Xia He.Seeing that Xia He really left this time, the Taoist threw up the copper plate in his hand and said, "Disciple Xiaojing, buy a meat bun and eat it!"

Li Mu kept himself in the room and didn't go out. He said he wanted to study carefully, but he was actually in a daze.

Xia He was in a hurry this time, she didn't want to call the door, and pushed the door open.Seeing that Li Mu, who was supposed to be reading a book, really didn't flip through the book carelessly, Xia He felt a little happier in his heart, this man still took himself seriously.Some are not so happy, what about the rural examination?

He moved the chair, moved it to Li Mu's side, and sat on it.

Still upright, Xia He pursed her lips and looked at Li Mu.

Li Mu lowered his head again.

Xia He said: "Brother Mu, I also want to be your wife."

Li Mu's hands trembled.

But Xia He became distressed: "Isn't this saying weird... Well, anyway, that's what I meant. I also want to be with you and do what I should do."

Xia He is ignorant about intercourse up to now, but he only roughly knows that it is something only done between husband and wife, so he said it bluntly.Fearing that Li Mu would not understand, he specially imitated the Taoist's hand gesture.However, after only a short gesture, he withdrew his hand back abruptly.

A blush rose on Li Mu's cheeks: "Cough."

"Brother Mu, hiding won't solve the problem, let's discuss it carefully." Xia He said yes.

"I can't kill your family!" The deepest thorn in Li Mu's heart was this.The thorn almost pierced his heart, and it was pulled out at this time, with blood on his heart.

Xia He counted: "Sister Dongmei has a dog baby, and Zhuzi was born two years ago. I heard that she is pregnant again this year. Sister Qiuyue also left behind Jinbao. Isn't that all our family's blood?"

"Can……"

Li Mugang was about to speak, but was interrupted by Xia He again: "If you talk about retirement, didn't your mother say that Jinbao can shoulder the burden of the two families?"

"But your Zhang family..."

Xia He interrupted Li Mu again: "There is no one to enshrine the Zhang family's ancestral hall. I am afraid that we will never go back in this lifetime, and the family tree is also unknown. Even if there are children, where will they fall?"

Li Mu pondered, Xia He had already thought about all the reasons for his hesitation, and dug up the blocked road in his heart.

Looking at Xia He again, the young man who was still wearing women's clothes smiled brightly, as if he was very satisfied with his words, and finally said: "Life is only fifty years, why not be willful for a while?" After finishing speaking, he smacked his lips, This sentence is correct, and it can probably reflect that there is still a little ink in my stomach.

Li Mu said, "Father-in-law might not agree..."

Xia He's smug smile faded away.After all the calculations, he only cared about Li Mu going, forgetting the two big Buddha statues of his parents at home, blocking the road!

A road that was finally dug was blocked again, Xia He sighed, but finally couldn't hold it back, she threw herself on Li Mu and leaned on him.

"But, I..." Xia He pondered for a while, then sat up, "I will tell my parents and get them to agree. ——Sooner or later, I will give you a title!"

Li Mu: "..." Didn't you mean it?
