Splendid Pastoral: The system is against the sky

Chapter 88
"Yes! The nature of this matter is too serious! He is simply making an enemy of the vast number of poor people!"

……

After the people outside the court gradually dispersed, Su Yaoxue looked at Mu Jiuyuan, and said with some embarrassment: "I owe you another big favor, you really have saved my life twice! I, Su Yaoxue, will remember your kindness, from now on, no matter whether it is going to the mountain of swords or the sea of ​​fire, as long as you say a word, I will not even frown!"

"It's good if I can help you." Mu Jiuyuan tilted his head slightly, his delicate half face, like a magnolia flower on a branch, attracted people to stop and look up.

He lowered his eyes implicitly in the wind, not daring to meet her burning gaze, his heart beating like a drum.

He is too easily attracted to her, and he is always afraid that he will not be able to control his emotions, so he must always focus on managing his expressions.

He didn't dare to get too close to her, for fear of being presumptuous.

He didn't dare to be too distant from her, for fear that she would treat him indifferently.

Where is the "degree" in the middle, he always finds it difficult to grasp.

Ever since he met her, all his emotions have been aroused by her, and he obviously wanted to get closer, but stopped.

"You are so kind to me, I decided to become sworn brothers with you!" Su Yaoxue said loudly, "If you agree, I will be your sister from now on! I will protect you!"

After saying this, she said with some embarrassment: "Of course, my martial arts are not as good as yours now. After ten or twenty years, my martial arts are higher than yours. I will definitely protect you!"

Mu Jiuyuan was a little surprised, this progress is a little faster?

The little fairy is really straightforward, she is willing to form a friendship with Jinlan with him so soon?
"Okay," Mu Jiuyuan was delighted, and couldn't wait to agree. He always looked up at her from a distance, like looking at the moon in the sky, and now he could get closer to her, which he wished for, "Miss Su... ...are you serious?"

He nervously confirmed that his pair of phoenix eyes were shining like starlight.

"Of course it is serious." Su Yaoxue suddenly felt that he was a little pitiful, and patted him on the shoulder, "Master Mu, are you the only child? Are you so eager for family affection? You really don't need to be so excited! Let's go, we are now Go to the Chenghuang Temple to pay homage!"

Mu Jiuyuan readily agreed, and Ming Yi immediately brought a carriage over.

Su Yaoxue also thanked Mingyi for his great help today, but Mingyi didn't dare to take credit, so naturally he put all the credit on Mu Jiuyuan.

After the carriage arrived at the entrance of the Town God's Temple, Su Yaoxue got off and was pulled by a disheveled woman: "Miss, miss, please help me! You bought me for a few taels of silver and let me bury my father! I can do it!"

Su Yaoxue felt her heart soften when she saw that her face was yellow and there was a corpse wrapped around her.

"I'll give you five taels of silver. You can use it to bury your father." Su Yaoxue took out the silver from the pouch around his waist, handed it to the woman, and said pitifully, "I gave you this silver." , you don’t need to sell yourself.”

"How can I do that?" The woman shook her head vigorously, and said earnestly, "I took your money, and I will be yours from now on. I, Lin Mier, am willing to be your cow or horse!"

"The money is for you," Su Yaoxue said earnestly, "If your father knows that you have been sold as a slave, can he feel relieved to let you go? Pity the parents of the world."

"No, Miss, my father would rather see me being sold as a slave than being preyed upon!" Lin Mier said resolutely, "My father and I are both people with integrity, please take it back, Miss! "

"Okay," Su Yaoxue sighed, and nodded helplessly, "I just became a slave for one day, and my descendants will be slaves in the future, so I will treat the five taels of silver as a gift from you. You come to Mihang Work for me, including food and housing, and when the wages are worth the five taels of silver, you can leave."

"Thank you for your kindness, miss, the little girl will never forget it!" Lin Mier said excitedly.

"Okay, after you bury your father, come to Detai Mihang to find me!" Su Yaoxue ordered.

Lin Mier nodded, and wanted to kowtow to Su Yaoxue, but she stopped her.

"There's no need to kowtow, the money is just a loan from you." After saying that, Su Yaoxue walked into the Town God's Temple.

Mu Jiuyuan walked one step behind her, quietly making several gestures with his hands hidden under his sleeves.

This is a special code word between him and the hidden guard, and only elite dark guards understand this code word.

An Yi has already been punished to go back to the furnace for rebuilding. At this time, An Er took the place of An Yi and became the leader of the dark guard group.

After seeing Mu Jiuyuan's gestures, An Er nodded to him in the dark, and then passed on the gestures, so that the people below must hurry up and find out the woman who sold her body to bury her father, but anything suspicious.

At this time, it was getting late, and the candles in the Town God's Temple had already been lit, and there were only Su Yaoxue and Mu Jiuyuan in the entire shrine.

A dim light, like the soft ripples of sea water, surrounded the two of them.

From a high place, a long red flag hung down, casting a light red shadow on her palm-sized face, adding a sense of mystery to her in this patchwork of light and shadow.

Su Yaoxue lowered her eyes slightly, her slender eyelashes were like the wings of a butterfly, half covering her clear eyes like dew, she clasped her hands together and placed them on her red lips.

Mu Jiuyuan stared at her with willow eyebrows, and then shifted her gaze to the statue of the city god sitting on the high platform.

She is more like a god who saves all living beings, kind and soft-hearted.

If she hadn't rescued him that afternoon, he would have died by now.

If she hadn't sold rice at such a low price, the day when the victims would have bought up all the rice in the rice store, gnawed bark, ate Guanyin soil, and changed seeds... would have come sooner.

The god on the high platform is unreachable, cold and indifferent.

The gods under the high platform are also far away, but they are as warm as the lights in this temple, which is the fire of hope.

"The emperor is above, and the earth is below. Today, I, Su Yaoxue, would like to be sworn brothers and sisters with Mu Jiuyuan. From now on, I will share the blessings and share the difficulties. I don't want to be born on the same day in the same year, but I want to die on the same day in the same year. I swear, I will be struck by lightning!" Su Yaoxue finished speaking very solemnly, knelt down on the futon, and kowtowed three times to the City God.

"The emperor is above, and the earth is below. Today, I, Mu Jiuyuan, would like to be sworn brothers and sisters with Su Yaoxue. From then on, we will share the blessings together. If I have difficulties, I will bear them alone. I don't want to be born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, but I want her to be born after I die." I still have no worries for the rest of my life, if I violate this oath, I will be struck by lightning!" After Mu Jiuyuan said solemnly, he also knelt down on the futon and kowtowed three times to the City God.

He lived in the royal family since he was a child and never believed in God. Even during the Xinyangmen Incident, even when he was dying of starvation, he never believed in this day or this place, he only believed in himself!
