Volume 1 Endless Wilderness Section 129 Tradition
After returning from town, Chen Xing called Ye Yang Bailiu into the room to talk again. The conversation between her and Ye Yang Qingyan was too full of information, and the "son of the Grand Duke" was mentioned several times, which made him very concerned. This title was very
You Bajiu refers to the son of Grand Duke Red Dragon, the prince of the principality, whose status is one level higher than that of Zhang Meng, Luo Shaoqing and others.
Perhaps because Chen Xing's expression was a little depressed, Ye Yang Bailiu told him the whole story without thinking too much.
At a social gathering, Fann Maris, the second son of Duke Maris, met her and immediately launched a passionate pursuit. However, Fann's pursuit was not the traditional method of sending flowers, gifts, dates, etc. in the Western Continent.
According to the ancient custom of the Eastern Continent, someone was sent directly to Ye Yang’s family to propose marriage.
At that time, Ye Yang Bailiu clearly refused, but Fein still refused to give up and sent someone to marry him every few months. Perhaps because of the other party's benefits, several elders of Ye Yang's family agreed and tried their best to facilitate Ye Yang's marriage.
The marriage between the family and the Duke's family. Their biggest reason is: "Ye Yang Bailiu has consumed a lot of family resources, but has not made any progress for many years. It is better to find a good family to marry, and it can be considered as making some contributions to the Ye Yang family."
To put it bluntly, it means "waste utilization" and "cost recovery".
When Ye Yang Bailiu's father was alive, although he didn't like his eldest daughter, he still fulfilled his father's responsibility and did not force her. But as soon as her father passed away, the elders of the clan couldn't wait to marry her off, and for this reason they even stopped
her source of livelihood.
"Wait a minute..." Upon hearing this, Chen Xing couldn't help but interrupt her and asked, "Is the Finn you are talking about ugly or has some other defect?"
"No, he is quite handsome, gentle and has a good reputation." Ye Yang Bailiu said.
"Then why did you..." Chen Xing said halfway and did not continue.
"What he likes is my appearance, but I don't want to be a vase or someone's vassal. I hope to make my way into the sky with my own strength." Ye Yang Bailiu said calmly. His eyes were like water, and there was a coldness in them.
Share decisively.
"You can't tell, he's quite ambitious." Chen Xing smiled slightly and joked.
Next, Ye Yang Bailiu continued to talk about the situation at that time. In order to force her to marry Fein, Ye Yang's family no longer provided her with living expenses, and she had to make a living on her own. But she had not graduated yet, and Ye Yang's family secretly
If she interferes, she can't find a job in a big company at all. But doing odd jobs would hurt her self-esteem. With her appearance, if she works as a bartender, she will probably be spanked wherever she goes.
She had no choice but to become a mercenary, because this was the only dignified profession for people at the bottom. Unintentionally, she saw information about a mercenary group on the Internet. It was a mercenary group led by a woman, named
"Beiqiao Regiment", it is said that the leader "Hua Beidou" is an old woman, who has traveled around the world at the age of seventy-five. She immediately became interested and kept searching for the deeds of the Beiqiao Regiment and Hua Beidou.
The more she knew, the more she admired her. She also wanted to be like Hua Beidou, riding a horse and singing songs across the sky and the earth, traveling thousands of miles across the Yellow Sands, so she followed the caravan to Longshi Town, wanting to get close to her
's idol.
Hearing this, combined with the memories of his previous life, Chen Xing finally understood the real reason why Ye Yang Bailiu was living in Longshi Town. The Beiqiao Regiment was stationed there, and she originally wanted to join Hua Beidou. At the same time, he also understood
The reason why Ye Yang Bailiu rejected these suitors.
She is a woman who yearns for freedom and does not want to be anyone's vassal.
The world is both big and small.
It is said to be big because it is really big, boundless, with mountains, rivers, seas, and everything in the world; it is said to be small because fate dictates that those who embrace the same ideals are always destined to meet.
Chen Xing couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself. He naively thought that Ye Yang Bailiu would marry him and live a small life here with him.
She is the golden phoenix who yearns for the nine-sky cloud, how could she succumb to a small town on the edge. Her stage is the sky and the earth, the endless planes. The complacency he once felt was shattered into powder at this moment. Even if he is ahead of the flower
Beidou, even if he got her first night, even if she was right in front of him and within reach, nothing changed, he still couldn't get her heart just like them.
"I understand, you can go back and rest." Chen Xing raised his hand, his voice could not help but reveal loneliness. All kinds of troubles came one after another, and he felt very tired.
When she reached the door, Ye Yang Bailiu suddenly stopped and turned her back to him and said, "Our Ye Yang family follows the ancient tradition that women stay together forever." At this point, she emphasized her tone, "Don't use this in the future.
I feel disgusted if you ask me something like this." After saying that, she left.
From start to finish?
Hearing this familiar yet unfamiliar statement, Chen Xing couldn't help but smile. What age is it? Even when he was on Earth, he didn't pay attention to this anymore. Who would believe it? In that era when human relationships were as simple as paper, there were no such things.
Something that lasts forever. In contrast, he is more willing to believe that "love cannot live without bread" and "husband and wife are birds in the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster strikes."
After thinking about it, the fatigue of many days swept over him. He sat on the chair and fell asleep like this...
The next morning, he was woken up by the guard knocking on the door. It turned out that Luo Shaoqing came to the door with someone.
Chen Xing got dressed and went out to meet. Zhang Meng and Ye Yangqingyan also came over. Luo Shaoqing was talking and laughing with the two of them. When he saw Chen Xing, he immediately lowered his face and said in a bad tone, "Captain Chen is so awesome."
Ah, even our Luo family in Gray Corner City doesn’t take it seriously anymore.”
"What's wrong?" Chen Xing asked with a confused look on his face, as if he didn't know anything. The other party put a high hat on him as soon as he came up and raised the problem to the family level, which made him want to be punished. In this case, he could only
Can play dumb.
"Are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid!" Luo Shaoqing shouted in a high voice, "You seriously injured four of us yesterday!"
It was another act of turning a small matter into a big deal. It was obviously just a little skin injury, but it was said to be a serious injury. Since the other party made the move, Chen Xing had no choice but to take the move and look surprised, "Ah! What, when did I hurt you?
people?"
Ye Yang Qingyan curled her lips in disdain. Zhang Meng smiled and smoothed things over and said, "Master Luo, please be patient. I think there may be a misunderstanding."
"What misunderstanding!" Luo Shaoqing's voice became even shriller, "Is he blind and can't see the Luo family emblem on them?"
"Oh, it turns out they are from the Luo family..." Chen Xing said in surprise, then he suppressed his nausea and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, there was a little friction, it was all a misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding?" Luo Shaoqing snorted coldly, raised his head and said, "I think you are tired of being the captain."
"Master Luo, if I did anything wrong, I apologize to you." Chen Xing said sincerely.
"Apologise?" Luo Shaoqing put his hands behind his back and turned around, looking a little thoughtful. After a while, he turned back and said, "Okay, you go and pay for their medical bills."
." He paused and held out three fingers, "It costs about three thousand gold coins. You can figure it out yourself."
Chen Xing's face turned cold, and anger rose in his heart. Luo Shaoqing had no intention of negotiating properly, and as soon as he came, he opened his mouth wide and demanded three thousand gold coins.
What is the concept of three thousand gold coins? The pension for ordinary mercenaries is two hundred, and the pension of a guard team leader like Chen Xing is only four to five hundred. Those few people only had a few superficial injuries, and they clearly wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail him.
"I've just arrived here, and I haven't even received enough salary for half a year." Chen Xing spread his hands, looking indifferent, "And the expenses are usually high, so I haven't saved much, otherwise..." He deliberately lengthened his voice,
"Would you like to ask the mayor to report the situation?"
