Crossing the Homeland

Chapter 5

Seeing that she was silent, Aunt An was worried that she would be frightened by Cheng Yuan. When she wanted to comfort her, Xia Junyan smiled at her: "I'm fine, he should be worried."

Cheng Yuan is now a Tongsheng, and he is about to take the exam for a scholar, and a scholar needs to pass three exams to get this honor. This kind of exam is called the Tongsheng Examination, which means: the exam that Tongsheng participates in.Cheng Yuan had just passed the second exam, and it was time for the third exam.In ancient times, exams always placed great importance on the character of candidates, and it was because of this that Cheng Yuan thought of asking Xia Junyan to say in front of the whole village that their family did not hate the poor and love the rich.

"Then what are you going to do?" Mrs. An couldn't help but look forward to hearing what Xia Junyan said clearly.

"Me?" Xia Junyan waved her hand, "I don't do anything." She is poor now, she is soft-spoken in the village, and her parents are both dead, so why rush to provoke Cheng Yuan.It is enough to let Cheng Yuan know that she, Xia Junyan, is barefoot, and he is the one wearing shoes.

Cheng Yuan came here today, probably because Xia Junyan agreed too happily to Li Shi's remorse, so she felt that she was a bully and wanted to get ahead.Xia Junyan summed up the experience and lessons in her heart, even if she agrees with their proposals when dealing with those strange things, she still needs to grind it out.

Still have to make money first!

When falling asleep, Xia Junyan let out a low sigh.

Don't help the poor, Mrs. An's family is decent but not rich, she can't always expect the kindness of others.

In the next few days, Cheng Yuan did not appear again.It's just that when Xia Junyan went to wash clothes by the stream, the surrounding village women immediately walked away when they saw her coming.Although Xia Junyan was a little unhappy, she didn't take it to heart. It's just right that no one is grabbing the place!
"Look, that unlucky guy is here again."

"Isn't fate hard! Parents are overwhelmed to death!"

"Hurry up, hurry up, wash off elsewhere, so as not to touch the mold."

There were whispers all around, but none of them came close to Xia Junyan's ears.In addition to being impoverished, thin and frail, and her parents are dead, there is one more thing added to her current situation - her life is hard and unlucky!
Very bad.

Xia Junyan put the washed clothes into the tub and took them home, she didn't have the energy to argue with those women.As the old saying goes, once you come, you will be safe, but the current scene is far from a stable life!
Is this where she is now?

Xia Junyan was so depressed that she wanted to yell, but now she could only clenched her fists and persisted!

Before I got to my small shabby house, I saw a lot of people gathered in front of the neighbor Mrs. An's house from a distance.

"A Xia, you are back, come quickly!" Aunt An's face was flushed, she was obviously very happy, "Your uncle and the others have hunted two wild boars weighing more than 200 catties. This year can be regarded as a fat year!"

"Really?" Xia Junyan was amazed, and hurried to Aunt An's house after putting the wooden basin away.

The four men who followed Uncle An into the mountains to hunt also looked proud.The most they usually go into the mountains is to hunt a few rabbits and foxes. This time they hunted two big wild boars in one go, which is the first in their village of Daliushu!Many villagers surrounded them, listening to their experiences in the mountains.The men followed the example of the storyteller in the town, spitting all over the place.

"It was too late to say it, and then it was too fast. This beast was about to rush at me. I raised my hand and chopped it with a knife. It took a lot of effort to chop it to the ground!" The wound, everyone was amazed.

This man is a well-known strongman in the village. He was born tall and burly, and Xia Junyan looked up at him.Just hearing what he said, everyone knows that these two wild boars have not come easily.
