The Cute Peasant Wife: Mian Niang

The trap was not very deep. If it was in the past, Gu Xin would be able to go up with just a breath of air. However, right now, his ankle was injured, so the easy task had become difficult.

Ye Zichen opened the trap first, and carefully took out his ankle.

The wound was deep enough to see bone. Gu Xin furrowed his brows in pain, but he was still able to endure it.

He was used to being beaten up since he was young, so he wouldn't cry out in pain from such heavy injuries, especially when Mian Niang was still on top of it.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier. The soil around him was slippery and there was no place for him to exert his strength.

Gu Master tried a few times, but each time, he would grab a piece of dirt and would comfort Mian Niang, "Don't worry, I'll be up soon."

In the end, without any other choice, he raised his head to look at Mian Niang who was standing above him. "Ah Mang, go find some tree vines or something.

He laughed, somewhat foolishly but also helplessly at himself.

This was too embarrassing, he couldn't even go up.

Mian Niang didn't speak, she turned and left. She returned very quickly with a vine in her hand, she stood there and looked at Yun Che coldly.

"Young Master Gu."

She called to him, her usually soft voice somewhat cold and hard, "Do you want to come up?"

Gu Xin raised his head and looked at her. The rain had obstructed his line of sight, so he was unable to clearly see that ugly little face.

"Ah Mi." He wasn't going to call her precious baby anymore. He was being too frivolous, so it was fine to just keep it in his heart.

Mian Niang frowned, she did not refute him.

Gu Han didn't think too much and just asked, "How am I going to bring you home if I don't go up? It's raining so heavily, we can't just spend the night in this forest."

"You are wrong. You can only spend the night here. I won't."

It seemed that the little lady of today was a little different, Gu Xin thought silently. It was just that even though her voice was naturally soft and cold, in the ears of others, it was like raindrops hitting a lotus, pleasant and captivating.

Just like her song, it was simple and unadorned, but unexpectedly pleasant to hear.

There were always many reasons to hate someone, and liking someone usually only required a single reason.

"You can't go back. It's raining so heavily, let the vines hang down and pull me up. I'll ride you back."

Gu Xin could not help but feel anxious when he heard the howls coming from the distance. They say that wolves were lurking in the forest, but from the sound of the howls, it was obvious that they would not be able to get out in the dark.

"There's no rush. Young Master Gu, let's discuss this first. We'll discuss matters that cannot be discussed later."

Mian Niang had been feeling uneasy before, and did not know how to respond to these words. But now, she had opened her mouth, said the first sentence, and everything that followed was fine.

No matter how foolish Gu Yan was, he had already understood a bit of what was going on in his heart at this moment. His heart had instantly turned cold, and along with it, his face also turned cold.

"What's the matter, A-Mai, speak!"

"You said it already, don't force me in the future, let me live my life in peace. If you continue to be your young master, I will throw these vines down, if not —" Mian Niang lifted his head and looked at the sky: "How much time did you take to find me, you know very well, if you were to find your family and catch a rainy day like this, it would be even more difficult. "What if …"

"Heh —" With a low laugh, Gu Xin squinted his eyes, which were shining with a dangerous light, "Ah Mi, you're so brave to actually dare to scheme against me."

However, at this point, she simply did not have any other option. She could only muster up her courage and continue: "It's not that I want to scheme against you, but all of this is because you are forcing me to do it step by step. I am a woman from the countryside, I have no other choice but to do it."

"Hmph, those words seem to be completely my fault now." "I wonder who it is that has appeared in front of me time and time again and seduced me."

He turned black and white, Mian Niang did not want to argue with him, she only said: "You just tell me what to do?"

"Ah Mi, you should stop thinking about this. I've grown up, the worst thing I can't take is being coerced."

With that, he sat cross-legged without caring about the dirt and water on his body. He looked relaxed and didn't seem anxious at all.

Mian Niang did not expect him to act in such a manner and did not know how to respond.

Young Master Qing, she bit his lips and said hatefully to the person sitting at the bottom of the pit, "Then just you wait, wait for your family to find you."

She threw away the vine in her hand, picked up the spade from the grass, and left without looking back.

Only Gu Shenwei was left behind, sitting at the bottom of the pit and looking at the sky in the square.

He actually left.

The cold and wet rain had long since covered all of his clothes, but it didn't have the same coldness in Gu Xin's heart.

Remembering his heart's desire from fifteen minutes ago, Gu Xin felt that he had been reduced to a joke at this very moment.

He wanted to hold her in his arms and protect her. So she hated him so much. She would rather live with the phthisis than be with him, even daring to scheme against him for the phthisis.

He had lived for more than twenty years, and this was the first time he had ever had feelings for a woman. He never thought that in the end, he would be reduced to such a state.

He raised his head and looked at the narrow sky above him.

As the rain fell on his eyes, his vision quickly turned blurry.

It was raining, so the road in the forest was much more difficult to walk on. Mian Niang carried a shovel and kicked lightly, she even had to wipe the rain off her face from time to time to clearly see the road in front of him.

Thunder rumbled in the horizon as lightning streaked across the sky. The white light was terrifying.

From deep within the forest, the roars of wild beasts could be heard.

The rain did not seem to stop. Mian Niang's body was extremely cold, she could only try to quicken her pace.

Mian Niang was so frightened that her entire body started to tremble. The flash of lightning shone her eyes and with a "Kacha" sound, a withered tree as thick as a human leg not far away from him broke.

Mian Niang didn't dare to walk closer to the tree, afraid that she would become like the withered tree.

She didn't know if it was an illusion or not, but she had the nagging feeling that the beast's roar was getting closer.

Suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, Mian Niang continued to walk down the mountain.

She slowed down her pace as she walked.

Listening to the sound of the rain falling outside the house, Mei Laozi couldn't sit still. He didn't even hear his mother calling him, and his mind was filled with only two people in the forest.

He tried to convince himself that his sister-in-law should be back. It was impossible for her to remain on the mountain in such a rainy day.

The rumbling thunder easily shaken his already indomitable faith.

He couldn't sit still any longer, so he grabbed the raincoat hanging on the wall and ran outside.

May-Second Aunt called out to him repeatedly from behind. He could only say one sentence: "I'm going to visit my mother's house. The last time it rained, her house's roof had already leaked.

"The roads are slippery in the rain, be careful."

The May-Second Aunt did not stop him, and only he knew in his heart why she had to go out at this time.

The young lad donned a straw cape and quickly arrived at tofu hyacinth's house.

Pushing the door open, he saw that tofu hyacinth was also separated from the outer village by the rain.

"Second brother."

She did not enter the door to the scholar's room.

"What is it?" The expression on the Elementary Scholar's face was indifferent. He was not warm to his younger cousin, who was healthy yet as stupid as a cow.

"It's raining heavily today, let me see if there's any leakage in the house."

As she spoke, her gaze shifted to the room. Only when she was sure that there was only the Elementary Scholar in the room, did she retract her gaze.

"Do you have this house? Go take a look elsewhere."

After so many years, what was there to do at home? The two kids from Second Aunt's family had come to help, and the Elementary Scholar was already used to it, so he would not be polite.

Because Sis Mei had something on her mind, she did not take his attitude to heart. After greeting him, she walked around the courtyard to make sure that Mian Niang had not returned, and her heart could not help but sink.

"Second Brother, I've checked and found no places with leaks. I'll be leaving first."

He was not a talkative man, he had never lied, and he could not explain why he did not confess everything in front of his ailing cousin.

"Oh." The Elementary Scholar did not even look at him and was only engrossed in the book in his hands.

The girl picked up her knife and walked out of the kitchen. However, she didn't go to her house. Instead, she went straight up the mountain.

Another clap of thunder rang, and the Elementary Scholar Fang realized that Mian Niang had not returned since he carried the shovel out.

Then she shook her head. It was none of his business whether she came back or not.

Who cares where she went.

Gu Xin also knew that he couldn't sit at the bottom of the pit forever. He saw that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and he had to wait here. Even if he hadn't encountered any wild beasts, he would still be frozen half to death.

Gu Wenguwu was definitely still thinking that he was having fun with Mian Niang and wouldn't be calling him over anytime soon.

He removed the sweat towel from his waist and tied up the wound. Then, he propped himself up and started to think of a way to go up.

The surroundings were all mud. There was no place for him to borrow strength from. Gu Hai tried several times but to no avail, so he could only put his mind into the trap.

Unfortunately, with such a trap, he didn't know what to do.

He originally wanted to use the belt to wrap around the trap, then throw the trap out and tie it to the tree. Then, he could easily climb up the tree by pulling on the belt.

It was just that unfortunately, today, he had changed into a new set of clothes that looked good, and his belt was also buckled up with jade. It was flashy, but at this moment, he really didn't have any use for it.

Gu La had no choice but to focus his attention on his own clothes. He took off his clothes and was about to tear them open when a long vine started hanging down.

He looked up to see a wet Mian Niang holding onto the other side of the vine, staring at him with an unknown gaze.
