Pastoral Bamboo Fragrance

Chapter 361 Annual Ceremony (1)
"Follow me." Ning Ximai said.

Li Zhu cursed inwardly, this person is too self-righteous.Why should I give up the stable life in front of me and go up the mountain with him to become a bandit?
Li Zhu slandered in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

She didn't want to provoke this person, so she had to politely refuse: "Young Master Ning, this joke is not funny at all. I pretend you didn't say it. It's getting late, and you should set off on your journey."

Ning Ximai leaned forward, his warm breath lingering in Li Zhu's ears, and he said in a deep and charming voice, "Follow me, I will never betray you in this life."

Li Zhu hid back and said solemnly: "My life is good now, I don't want to get involved in your affairs. Please don't make things difficult for me."

Ning Ximai was rejected twice, and his face could not help showing shame and anger. He wandered around the room for a few steps with his hands behind his back, then turned around suddenly, stared at Li Zhu, and asked in a slightly excited tone: "What are you doing?" How can you promise me?"

Li Zhu was also a little anxious: "How can you let me go?"

Ning Ximai calmed down, and said in a soft voice: "Azhu, are you really willing to live in this remote village all your life, marry a villager, and spend your life in a hurry? You shouldn't live such a life, you deserve better of."

Li Zhu really wanted to retort: ​​Is being a bandit woman a better life?The words stayed in her mouth for a moment but did not come out.

At this moment, Xiaoqiu came back with a bundle of firewood on his back.Xiaochun carried a basket behind him.Xiao Qiu glanced at Ning Ximai without saying a word, and went to work.But Xiaochun said: "Girl, the officials who lived in a shed near our house a few days ago have come to the village again."

Li Zhu didn't know whether it was true or not, so he hurriedly asked, "Did you see it clearly?"

Xiaochun said he saw clearly.

Li Zhu looked at Ning Ximai, but Ning Ximai still looked calm.

At this moment, several men dressed as boatmen suddenly broke into the yard, they strode in hastily, cupped their hands at Ning Ximai, and said, "The first master, the second master and the third master urged you to get on the boat quickly. "

Ning Ximai looked at Li Zhu with a smile, as if waiting for something.

The man looked at Li Zhu, and said, "Master, what do you like, let's go straight up the mountain."

Xiaochun turned pale with fright, and looked at Li Zhu nervously.She went out quietly, but saw another person stopped: "What are you doing, stop."

Li Zhu held back his anger, stopped Xiaochun loudly, and then looked at Ning Ximai.A wry smile escaped from the corner of Ning Ximai's mouth, and he said helplessly, "Azhu, I don't want to use this method to you."

After finishing speaking, Ning Ximai raised his hand and ordered, "Let's go."

Li Zhu stood still, Ning Ximai stopped when he walked to the door, turned around and said, "You should consider my words carefully, I'll be here anytime."

As soon as the words fell, Li Zhu's plain voice sounded: "Don't wait, I can't bear the generosity of the head of the family. As a village girl, I should live this kind of life."

"Haha." Ning Ximai laughed inexplicably, and walked away with a group of subordinates.

As soon as they left, Xiaochun hurried over to close the gate.

Li Zhu asked her: "Did you really see the official messenger in the village just now?"

Xiaochun smiled wryly and shook his head: "No, this servant just said that because she saw the situation was wrong. The girl didn't know that when this servant was in her hometown, there was a pretty girl from the neighboring village who was spotted by the bandits and snatched her up the mountain. There is nothing the family can do about it. Miss, why don't you discuss it with your aunt and ask her what to do?"

Li Zhu shook his head: "It's useless to discuss, I'll think about it myself." At most, Aunt Li suggested that she quickly find a marriage and settle down, so as to stop Ning Ximai's thoughts.

Since Ning Ximai bought grain at Yangjiaji, there has been no news.This is also good news for Li Zhu.
