"What did you say?" Zheng Xiao was holding the wine bowl, dumbfounded. He never expected that Zhuge Zhou would tell him this, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
Zhuge Zhou was waiting there with a wine bowl, eagerly waiting for Zheng Xiao's answer, but Zheng Xiao didn't respond for a long time, which made his face droop.
Originally, he thought that as soon as he opened his mouth, Zheng Xiao would happily agree, but he didn't expect Zheng Xiao to look unhappy, which made him very unhappy.
Taking a step forward, old man Zhuge Zhou came to Zheng Xiao, his gray beard trembling, and stared into his eyes, "What, you don't agree?"
Only then did Zheng Xiao react. He took half a step back, frowned and said, "Old man, this matter is not as simple as you think."
"Why do you look down on Yaomei?" Zhuge Zhou turned around, raised his finger and pointed at Yaomei, who was standing among the girls not far away, and said loudly, "If nothing else, in this hundred miles radius, I am
If my youngest sister is to be the most beautiful, no one would say that she is the second. I don’t know how many handsome young people are thinking about her, but you still look reluctant."
This sentence made Zheng Xiao dumbfounded. He realized that the old man was unreasonable when he was stubborn, so he explained, "Old man, things are not what you think. Yaomei and I have no emotional basis, how can we be so careless?"
"What are you afraid of? Your sister-in-law and I went into the bridal chamber without even meeting each other. Hasn't it been a lifetime?" Du Gang interjected from the side, and his words were also approved by a bunch of old guys from the mountain village.
.
"Brother Du, can you please stop joining in the fun?" Zheng Xiao was speechless. He glanced at Du Gang, and then turned to the one-eyed man aside, "Blind Yue, why don't you come to the rescue?
"
At this time, Yue Ting, who was nearby, had long since hid somewhere. He and several villagers from the mountain village were holding wine jars and fist-fighting. Zheng Xiao simply pretended not to see them.
He knew that nothing would happen to this kind of thing, so he would not let Zheng Xiao lose his chance. This was so fun. The one-eyed man's sinister mentality began to sprout again.
Zheng Xiao looked around and saw that many of the villagers around him looked at him somewhat unkindly. Some of them were the elders of Zhuge Yaomei, and most of them were young people.
Zhuge Yaomei's beauty is known to hundreds of miles away, and countless young people are thinking about her. Most of the young hunters in this ancient village are interested in her. Now that the object of their admiration has been rejected by Zheng Xiao, it naturally makes them very happy.
dissatisfied.
However, Li Ran's expression seemed to relax. He sat there and watched the development of the situation intently.
"I said Zheng Xiao, please give me a warm word, okay or not?" Zhuge Zhou also had a stubborn temper, and after arriving, he already seemed to be forcing a marriage.
Zheng Xiao was silent. He knew that anything he said at this time was inappropriate and would hurt others, so he just kept silent.
Zhuge Zhou was furious. He grabbed Zheng Xiao by the collar, turned around and shouted, "Bring me my big sword."
People couldn't help but be surprised to find that things might be getting serious.
At this moment, Zhuge Yaomei rushed up to Zhuge Zhou, reached out and grabbed his wrist, and shouted tremblingly, "Dad, don't force him, okay?"
"Girl, this guy doesn't want to marry you, so I'm not done with him." Zhuge Zhou may have had some alcohol, so he lost control of his mind, so he was obviously a little too domineering.
Zhuge Yaomei bit her lip and suddenly shouted, "Dad, it's me who doesn't like him, so I can't marry him."
People were stunned by this sentence. Many people did not expect that Zhuge Yaomei would say this.
Zheng Xiao was also a little dazed. He didn't expect Zhuge Yaomei to say this in order to resolve the conflict, but at this time, he couldn't say anything.
Zhuge Zhou was caught off guard by Zhuge Yaomei's words. He didn't expect his daughter to say that, so he turned around and asked, "Girl, are you telling the truth?"
"Um!"
Zhuge Yaomei nodded and said, "I regard Brother Zheng as my elder brother. There is no personal relationship between children at all. Dad, you have misunderstood."
"Yes, godfather, please don't embarrass Captain Zheng. Put the knife away quickly." At some point, Li Ran squeezed out and came to Zhuge Zhou. While persuading him, he took the big knife from Zhuge Zhou's hand.
He threw it to other people around him and then helped him aside.
Seeing Zhuge Zhou leaving, Zhuge Yaomei took two steps towards Zheng Xiao and whispered, "Brother Zheng, my father was a little drunk just now, don't be offended."
Zheng Xiao shook his head with a smile, and then said, "You can't blame the old man for this matter. It's just a misunderstanding. Don't worry."
"Is it just a misunderstanding?" Zhuge Yaomei said in a low voice that only she could hear clearly, and then smiled sweetly at Zheng Xiao, "Brother Zheng, I may have drunk too much. I will go back and rest first. You can eat slowly.
Let’s go.” After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the square.
Looking at Zhuge Yaomei's back, Zheng Xiao was silent and watched her leave the square.
On the side, Li Ran, who had been watching with cold eyes, quietly left without disturbing anyone.
After Zhuge Zhou's commotion, people were no longer interested. Everyone drank a few more bowls of wine, ate a few hasty bites, and then dispersed.
The one-eyed man came to Zheng Xiao and watched everyone disperse. He chuckled and said, "Violent man, you are in trouble this time."
"Go away, you blind man. You didn't ask for help, but you added insult to injury." Zheng Xiao snorted angrily, then walked out, leaving the one-eyed man Yue Ting on the spot.
Yue Ting glanced at Zheng Xiao who was leaving, and then at the villagers who were cleaning up the mess. He staggered towards his residence, "Tch, this violent man with a single head, such a beautiful beauty
No, if it were me, huh..."
As Zheng Xiao and others left, the square became quiet. The villagers cleaned up the mess of the banquet and went back to rest. After a tiring day, people were a little sleepy, so they all went to bed early.
After the square calmed down, a strong black figure appeared silently in the square. After looking around vigilantly, he quickly ran towards his residence.
It was the black wolf that had been following Zheng Xiao for a long time. I don’t know how it sneaked in without being noticed and ended up here.
After identifying the direction in the square, Black Wolf ran towards everyone's residence. However, he did not go to Zheng Xiao's room. Instead, he turned and rushed towards a house not far from Zheng Xiao's residence.
The person living there is the one-eyed man Yue Ting, but I don’t know why Hei Lang is looking for him so late?
