Supreme Space Puppet Master

Chapter 3 Marry Me
After the fire, Jiang Xiaoli rummaged through the ruins of the Jiang family, except for the jade pendant that Jiang Xiaoli picked up, Mr. Jiang left nothing behind.

Jiang Xiaoli originally planned to build a clothes tomb for Mr. Jiang, but Jiang Xiaoli was not willing to bury the jade pendant in the dug hole after all. For her, this was Mr. Jiang's last thought.

Perhaps, she still didn't believe that her grandfather died just like that. Jiang Xiaoli stood alone on Meishan for a long time, thought a lot, and finally planned to leave.

Leave Meishan Village.

Jiang Xiaoli knew very well in his heart that the Jiang family was able to gain a foothold in Meishan Village because of his grandfather's protection of Meishan Village, but after his grandfather left, even if the old village head didn't mention it to her, Jiang Xiaoli still planned to transfer the past years to the Jiang family. The land returned to the clan, the Jiang family is a foreigner after all.

When Merlin returned home, he was called to the study by the old village chief, and stayed there for a long time. I don't know what the old village chief said to Merlin. When Merlin went out, he had a strange expression on his face.

Mei Lin finally found Jiang Xiaoli on Meishan.

When he arrived, Jiang Xiaoli was squatting on the ground, the plum blossoms were falling with the wind, going round and round, covering the ground.

It's a pity that neither of the two people present was interested in admiring the beauty of plum blossoms. Jiang Xiaoli put his head on his arms, and Mei Lin felt that Jiang Xiaoli was helpless like a lost lamb at this moment.

Jiang Xiaoli heard the movement, turned around and saw Mei Lin, "You're here."

Her voice was hoarse and exhausted. Jiang Xiaoli inhaled too much dust during the fire, and finally hurt her throat, just like her arms and...face that were burned by the fire.

Mei Lin's words came to his lips, the tip of his tongue twirled slightly and he swallowed, he wants to listen to his grandfather and marry Jiang Xiaoli?
It's not a childhood play, but a real life, but a life is so long... Does he really want to spend his life with Jiang Xiaoli?
Jiang Xiaoli didn't notice anything strange about Mei Lin, she stood up and walked slowly to Mei Lin, "Meilin, I have something to say to you."

For some reason, Merlin felt a little flustered in his heart, and Merlin said anxiously, "I have something to tell you too."

"Okay, then you go first." Jiang Xiaoli tried his best to make himself smile.

"I..." Merlin was at a loss for words, obviously he had been looking forward to it for a long time, why did he hesitate at this moment?

Jiang Xiaoli looked at Mei Lin who was hesitant to speak, and said, "Then let me talk first."

"Do not."

Mei Lin interrupted Jiang Xiaoli, as if he had made up his mind, he suddenly took Jiang Xiaoli's hand, ignoring the hesitation in his heart, and said affectionately: "Xiaoli, marry me."

As soon as the words were spoken, Merlin felt a feeling of dust falling to the ground, that's all, so be it.

When Jiang Xiaoli heard the words, he stared at Mei Lin in a daze. To be honest, Jiang Xiaoli was shocked.

She never thought that Merlin would say such a thing to her.

In Jiang Xiaoli's opinion, Mei Lin was her childhood playmate.Only now did Jiang Xiaoli notice that the little follower who ran behind him when he was a child has now become the most promising young man in Meishan Village.

Mei Lin looked into Jiang Xiaoli's eyes and said seriously, "Xiaoli, I will take good care of you."

It is undeniable that there was a ripple in Jiang Xiaoli's heart, but the ripple soon dissipated, and what surged up was more gratitude.

Mei Lin's face was flushed, seeing that Jiang Xiaoli was looking at him "affectionately" without saying a word, he was even more embarrassed, he had nothing to say: "What about you?"

"What?" Jiang Xiaoli couldn't react for a while, so Mei Lin could only say shyly, "Didn't you say that you also have something to say?"

"I'm leaving." She could only be grateful for Merlin's kindness.

Merlin's heart trembled, and he couldn't believe his ears: "Leave? Where are you going?"

"Where are you going?" Jiang Xiaoli didn't answer for a while, because she didn't know where she was going. Jiang Xiaoli shook the plum blossom pendant in his hand, and suddenly turned around and said, "Guangling City."

Yes, she wants to go back to Guangling.

The Jiang family's ancestral home is Guangling. Jiang Xiaoli doesn't know why Mr. Jiang brought him here, but the old man said that the fallen leaves return to their roots. Jiang Xiaoli is the only descendant of Mr. Jiang, and he must bring Mr. Jiang's relics back to his hometown a trip.

If this hadn't happened, she would have married and had a child in Meishan Village. That person might be Mei Lin, or someone else, Jiang Xiaoli thought.

But now, Jiang Xiaoli has no thoughts in this regard, at least not now, so she can only live up to Mei Lin's kindness.

Merlin felt very uncomfortable, nodded and said, "Have you really decided?"

Jiang Xiaoli nodded, and Merlin didn't say anything more.

He liked Jiang Xiaoli since he was a child, and he wanted to marry Jiang Xiaoli from the bottom of his heart. The moment the old village chief asked him to marry Jiang Xiaoli, he was excited.

But Jiang Xiaoli rejected his marriage proposal!

Mei Lin couldn't explain why he was depressed, he was the old village chief's favorite grandson, the heir of the Mei family, Jiang Xiaoli had already proposed marriage even after Jiang Xiaoli was no longer handsome, what would Jiang Xiaoli want from him?
Guangling?

Guangling is far away, it's just an excuse!

Ever since they came down from Mount Mei that day, Jiang Xiaoli and Mei Lin tacitly did not mention the matter of getting married, as if nothing had happened.

Jiang Xiaoli and Mei Lin had a cold war.

Of course, it was just Meilin's unilateral cold war, and Jiang Xiaoli was out of the situation at all.

It's just that the old village chief came to visit Jiang Xiaoli more and more, and sometimes he would say something weird that Jiang Xiaoli didn't understand, but Jiang Xiaoli didn't care.

Mr. Jiang's funeral has been taken care of, and there is actually nothing to do. He just built a small house next to the burned-out house of Jiang's family, so that Mr. Jiang can have a place to stay in the future.

It's just that I don't know if Mr. Jiang at that time was a human being or...a soul.

Half a month later, Jiang Xiaoli's injuries were almost healed, so he tidied up and prepared to bid farewell to the old village chief.

Jiang Xiaoli wore a veil to cover the burn marks from the fire.

"Grandpa Village Chief, thank you for your care these days, Xiao Li should leave after disturbing you for so many days," Jiang Xiaoli said.

"Farewell?" The old village chief was surprised, thinking of something, and said again: "You are a girl with no relatives, and Meishan Village is your home. Where are you going?"

Jiang Xiaoli was silent. At the age of 14, her memories of wandering around with her grandfather in her early years are already very vague. After all, she was too young at that time.She has lived in Meishan Village for nine years. Meishan Village has her smiles and tears. The old village chief is right, this is her home.

The old village head said again: "If you are afraid of troublesome others, there is no need. The grandfather of the village head and several clan elders have also discussed that the village will open a winery and let you manage it." Can't help but stare.

"Xiaoli accepted the kindness of the village, but Xiaoli wants to take the relics of grandpa back to his hometown in Guangling." Jiang Xiaoli didn't think too much, she looked at the old village chief seriously, and said, "Xiaoli will never forget Mei. The kindness of the mountain village to our grandparents, but the matter of wine making, there is no need to mention it, since grandpa is unwilling, then Xiao Li will not go against his old man's wishes."

Hearing Jiang Xiaoli's words, the old village chief frowned tightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
