Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 131 The Dumb and the Village Woman

At this moment, Ye Chen came out of the house and stood in front of the little village woman.

Seeing that Ye Chen didn't run away, and dared to appear in front of everyone, the villagers became even more angry. They waved a hoe in their hands and prepared to go forward to beat him to death.

When Ye Chen was in Kaifeng, he heard that the folk customs of the Southern Tang Dynasty were more conservative than the Song Dynasty, especially the status of women in rural villages and towns was extremely low. There will be such a storm.

He really wanted to explain a few words sincerely, but unfortunately he is now a mute.He was a little anxious, felt it all over his body, untied a jade pendant engraved with the words "Xiang Fu Bo Ye" that was firmly tied on his belt, handed it to the two elderly people at the front of the group of villagers, and pointed Pointing to the little village woman crying behind her.He no longer cared that his identity might be leaked, and people from Maitreya Sect or Tianyi Dao would come to him.

All the villagers were taken aback. They were first surprised by the jade pendant that Ye Chen took out, which was obviously worth a lot of money, and then they were a little surprised that Ye Chen was dumb.

"It turned out to be a mute." Many villagers shouted, Ye Chen took out the jade pendant, but when he saw Ye Chen's clothes were tattered, he had an extraordinary temperament, and felt a little frightened.But then the fact that Ye Chen was dumb made them bolder again.

An old man looked at it, took the jade pendant, and looked at it for a long time, but unfortunately he couldn't read. In fact, no one in the whole village could read.Another old man shook his head blankly and said, "This matter involves the reputation of our Dongtang Village. How can we let such shameless bastards go at will?"

Ye Chen was a little anxious, he absolutely couldn't watch this little village woman get hurt because of saving him.It's a pity that he can't speak, otherwise when dealing with these timid villagers, sometimes a few words can solve the problem.The big deal is to take this little village woman away afterwards.

It's a pity that he is now a mute, so he can only worry.

The two old men glanced at each other, and after a moment of silence, the old man who took Ye Chen's jade pendant said, "I know that you were rescued from the river by this woman. I can't blame you for this matter. Besides, you also use the jade pendant." Apologize, so we won't hurt you, and you can leave now."

Hearing this, Ye Chen sighed inwardly, and glanced at more than 20 villagers, thinking that if he hurt a few people, he should be able to drive them away.Thinking of this, he turned his head and glanced at the shivering little village woman, then shook his head firmly at the two old men.

The two old people were very unhappy about Ye Chen's ignorance, so they walked to the side, and one of the old people said to the villagers: "Drive this foreign man aside, and then take that **** out and soak it in a pig cage."

The word 'soaking the pig cage' seemed to have a strange temptation for these villagers, and shouts immediately resounded through the small courtyard, and they all shouted that the woman should be stripped naked and beaten with a board first, and then soaked in the pig cage.

Ye Chen glanced at everyone, looked at the greedy and obscene expressions in the eyes of those men, looked at their distorted faces due to excitement, and thought in his heart: It may be a little easier to injure and drive away, especially the ugly strong man. Han, seeing the way the little village woman faced him before, he should have bullied the little village woman before.This person may be maimed, so it is better to make an example to others.

The little village woman was already desperate, but seeing Ye Chen stand up for her, especially the gentle and firm expression when she looked at her just now, she suddenly felt that hope was returning to her body.But then she suddenly remembered that Ye Chen was alone, how could he beat so many people outside, she became worried about Ye Chen again, took Ye Chen's arm, and said: "You can't beat them, you hurry up! Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..." At the end, the little village woman began to cry in despair.

What the little village woman said strengthened Ye Chen's determination to save her.Even if he couldn't beat her, he still had to save her, not to mention that although there were a lot of villagers, he could still beat her.Since the mutation happened to his body half a year ago in the deserted temple outside the border city of Yongle, his physique and strength have never stopped getting stronger.Combined with the fighting and capture he learned in later generations, and the martial arts taught to him by Wang Chao in the Jinyang City Army, it should not be difficult to deal with these more than 20 villagers.

He was thinking like this, but the ugly strong man had already rushed up and grabbed Ye Chen's neck, as if he wanted to grab Ye Chen's neck and throw it out.As a result, Ye Chen still stayed where he was, and before everyone could see what was going on, the ugly strong man flew out with a scream and knocked down three villagers.

The villagers were shocked, and the few villagers who were about to rush up after the ugly and strong man also instinctively stopped in their tracks.After seeing the ugly strong man rolling on the ground with his arms folded, all the villagers screamed in surprise, and then took a few steps back, and when they looked at Ye Chen again, there was fear in their expressions.

Because, the right arm that the ugly strong man used to grab Ye Chen just now turned over directly from the elbow, and the bones protruded from the flesh, obviously the bone between the upper arm and the forearm was broken.

Ye Chen's attack was so fierce that it shocked all the villagers immediately.

"It hurts!"

"Quickly go to the police!"

Some villagers shouted and carried the ugly and strong man away quickly.

The ugly and burly man screamed continuously, startling the three cormorants in the pond and the fish on the water surface, disturbing the birds perched on the trees in the village, and tearing apart the peace and harmony of this small village that has lasted for countless years. rule.

In the wooden house, Ye Chen watched the villagers leave, and as soon as he turned around, he felt soft and fragrant.Ye Chen sighed, and took advantage of the situation to gently hug him in his arms, without desire, only pure pity and sympathy.For thousands of years, in the period of feudal society in China, many good women like the little village women were brutally killed by feudal ethics.There is no need to have any doubts, Ye Chen will be the most sympathetic and sympathetic person to the little village woman in this world.This has nothing to do with the little village woman saving him, it's just because Ye Chen came from a later life.

The little village woman's face was pale, and her body was trembling slightly. She didn't know whether it was because she was frightened by Ye Chen's cruel methods, or she was crying with joy after she escaped from the catastrophe. In short, she was crying so hard that the clothes on Ye Chen's shoulders were wet a lot soon. .

Ye Chen gently stroked the village woman's black hair with his left hand, and gently stroked the village woman's back with his right hand.Use this silent method to comfort this woman who has bet her life for him and has been worried and scared for three or four days.

Ye Chen knew what the little village woman had been through these three or four days, fear and fear were not enough to describe the little village woman's mental state these days.Ye Chen was in a semi-awake state, and every night he could hear the moaning and crying of the little village woman in the next room in her nightmare, and then woke up screaming.Although he hadn't seen the little village woman's expression in the past three days, Ye Chen knew that she would always look pale every time she went out, as if rushing to the execution ground to die.

I don't know how long it took, the little village woman gradually stopped crying, she left Ye Chen's embrace shyly, raised her head and took two steps back with dodge eyes.

At that moment, Ye Chen saw that the luster in her eyes was obviously much brighter than before, it seemed that her eyes were about to be reborn.

"You just recovered from illness, take a good rest, I'll cook first, and then..." Then, the little village woman didn't say anything, but Ye Chen knew that she wanted Ye Chen to take her away, even if the two of them went begging together, Going to wander, she would never want to stay in this village.

In just half a day, Ye Chen felt the pain of not being able to speak, because she knew that the little village woman was waiting for him to make a promise, to take her away.Ye Chen is not a heartless person, and it is even more impossible to leave the little village woman to suffer a tragic ending.He spent the whole afternoon gesturing and drawing, and finally expressed clearly the promise that the little village woman needed.But at this time, it was getting late, Ye Chen was not familiar with the surrounding terrain, and the little village woman probably hadn't been out of the village since she got married.Therefore, we can only leave tomorrow.

After dinner, Ye Chen took a bath with the water boiled by the little village woman, feeling refreshed, and then put on an ordinary farm uniform handed over by the little village woman with some shame.Ye Chen knew that the little village woman was ashamed because she felt that Ye Chen shouldn't be wearing farm clothes.

The little village woman packed up the things she was going to bring when she left tomorrow, Ye Chen sat on the threshold, looked at the dark clouds in the night sky, the moon blocked by thin clouds, and began to recall the time when she was captured by the little Ming King Shangguan Bingyun at Puzhaowang Temple. The bits and pieces after the hijacking, and what needs to be done next.

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Chen withdrew his gaze, already thinking about what he needed to do next.

First of all, he needs to heal his throat as soon as possible so that he can speak normally.This requires finding a famous doctor and money.

Secondly, it is to find a way to return to Song Dynasty and Kaifeng.This also requires money.

The former is a short-term goal. If the throat can't be cured for a while, I can only give up and go back to Kaifeng directly.There are many things that need to be done in the middle, but more about how to make money.

In addition, he knew that Zhao Kuangyin would definitely send many people to look for him, and even sent an imperial edict to Nan Tang.And Yu Daoxiang will definitely mobilize his own forces to find himself.Li Junhao, Ma Gangzi, and Li Zhong will definitely look for themselves.How can he get in touch with them.

At the same time, it is conceivable that the people of Maitreya Sect will definitely search for him, and Tianyi will definitely let him go.What worries Ye Chen the most is that he is now in Southern Tang, not to mention that it is the headquarters of Maitreya Sect, but it can be regarded as being on other people's territory.How to hide one's identity and ensure one's own safety will be the biggest problem.He suddenly regretted not taking the human leather mask back from Li Junhao's hands, otherwise the biggest problem would no longer be a problem.
