Chapter 53

  Drool, obtained fear value 88

  The system prompt message stunned Da Lei for a moment, and then he saw Su Ying take a step back, pull out the golden hairpin from her head and hold it against her throat.

  "Don't come over!"

  Cheng Dalai was stunned and hastily retreated, raising his hands. Chapter 53

  Drool, obtained fear value 88

  The system prompt message stunned Da Lei for a moment, and then he saw Su Ying take a step back, pull out the golden hairpin from her head and hold it against her throat.

  "Don't come over!"

  Cheng Dalai was stunned and hastily retreated, raising his hands.

  "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."

  Su Ying stared at Cheng Da Lei with her enchanting big eyes. She was afraid of this mountain bandit who suddenly jumped beside her. However, the attribute that could see through everything told her that Cheng Da Lei had no malicious intentions towards her.

  The two of them were about three steps apart, awkwardly silent. Cheng Dalai didn't know how to break the silence, and suddenly had an idea, pulling out a sachet from his pocket.

  "Here, I'm giving it to you, do you like it?"

  The big face with a wide grin in front of her made it difficult for Su Qing to have any guard against him. She glanced at the sachet stuck in front of her and slightly furrowed her brow.

  "Whence cometh thou, O perfume of woman?"

  Uh...

  This sachet was indeed taken by Cheng Dairen from Liu Zhi, but he didn't expect Su Qian to notice even this. Alas, women are too clever and will indeed give men a headache.

  "How could it be? I specifically bought it for you, and the one selling sachets was just a little girl."

  "Lies."

  Su Ying inserted the golden hairpin back into her hair and casually took over the sachet, placing it at the tip of her nose to sniff.

  "Come on, I bought it especially for you, it's very expensive, they say it's the best."

  "I never wear perfume."

  "Why?"

  "Born with a beautiful appearance." Su Ying didn't change her expression and put the sachet in her sleeve, asking: "Why did you come?"

  "Ah." Cheng Dairen adjusted his clothes and hat, and said in a voice full of deep emotion: "Since parting at Qingniu Mountain, it's only been a month or so, but the girl's lovely shadow has stayed in my heart, unable to be shaken off. I am not satisfied with food, nor can I sleep soundly, and every morning and evening is difficult to forget."

  Su Ying retreated a few steps: "You... are not serious."

  "This time I'm telling the truth, I came specifically to see you. How have you been lately?" Cheng Daire's gaze fell on Su Qing's cheek, and he suddenly froze, subconsciously saying: "You've lost weight, are you... dieting?"

  Su Ying slightly turned her head, avoiding Cheng Daren's gaze, with some turmoil in her heart.

  These days, she is more than just "not good".

  Su Ying was kidnapped on her way to Heishi City, and later the Han family was exterminated. Although she had never seen Han Xuan's face, in other people's eyes, she was already a member of the Han family. After the Han family was exterminated, she became... a widow.

  There are also many people who blame Su Qing for the downfall of the Han family, saying that she brought this disaster upon them.

  Thus, Su Qing was treated as an unlucky person, the Su family wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible, and the servants looked at her as a jinx, not wanting to be contaminated with bad luck.

  In the eyes of many people, Su Qing was already a high match for Huang Yuanwai, who was nearly fifty years old that year. Otherwise, even if she was given to a servant, the servant would not want her.

  These things made Cheng Dali's eyes widen in shock and incredulity, but for people of this era, it was only natural, nothing could be more normal.

  "What about your dad? Doesn't he care?" asked Cheng Dairen.

  "My father has been bedridden with a serious illness for some time now, I'm afraid he doesn't know about these things." Su Qing said, sighing softly.

  There were some things that Su Qian did not tell Cheng Dali, such as the fact that her father knew about it and could do nothing about it. He was afraid that he would say something like "You should not bring shame to the Su family, you have no integrity" and then hang himself.

  Cheng Dalai was speechless, sighed for a long time, and inexplicably felt a sense of wonder.

  "The feudal ethical code is killing people."

  Su Ying is secretly heartbroken, she doesn't show her sadness to others, and in front of everyone at home, she puts on a calm face. But this doesn't mean that deep down, she won't be heartbroken.

  Not only did others think so, but Su Ying also thought so in her heart. Living in this era, she couldn't jump out of the thinking of this era.

  "Don't be afraid, they're all bastards, I'm here."

  Su Ying unconsciously raised her head and saw Cheng Dairen patting his chest.

  "I will protect you."

  Su Ying was stunned for a long time, feeling her nose slightly sour. She rubbed her nose and smiled, asking: "How do you plan to help me?"

  "Everything is on me, you are my wife, how can I let people bully you."

  In this era, the emotions between young men and women are often implicit, and few people are as straightforward and frank as Cheng Darui, or rather, as shameless as him. So when she heard Cheng Darui's words, Su Qing's face felt a little hot.

  "Stay here and I'll take care of the trouble for you, wait for my news."

  Having said that, Cheng Dairen prepared to jump over the wall and leave. As he looked at his back, Su Qing suddenly said: "Wait."

  "What's wrong?"

  Su Qing handed Su Qing a cage of pigeons and said, "Take it with you."

  "This... I know you care about me, and that still makes me happy. However, I've already had dinner, and roasted pigeon isn't really my thing."

  Su Ying cried and laughed: "Let you use this to contact me."

  ……

  Cheng Dairen jumped over the wall and left Su's house without being discovered by anyone. He returned to the inn overnight, waiting for news from Xushenji.

  Xu Shenji returned on the second day at noon, when Cheng Dali was taking a nap in his room.

  "Big boss, big boss..."

  Cheng Dali woke up in a daze and saw Xu Shenji standing in front of him, with Meng Ziyun also standing on the side, looking puzzled.

  He suddenly woke up, got out of bed and asked: "Who else is coming?"

  Lin Shaoyu came in from outside the door, slightly cupped his hands, and stood beside Cheng Dairen.

  Right behind him, Qin Man also came in, his sturdy figure resembling a black iron tower, standing beside Cheng Darui.

  Well, the two top fighters from Hama Village have arrived, and Cheng Dairen has gained confidence, and his heroic spirit has been stirred up.

  Mengzi frowned and raised his eyebrows: "Are you Cheng Dali?"

  "Really? What's your opinion?"

  "You little scamp, how dare you deceive me!"

  As he spoke, Mengzi threw a punch at Cheng Dairen, his fist as fierce as a tiger. But Cheng Dairen didn't even raise an eyebrow, this kid still thought he was the same as yesterday, it's time to make him understand that things have changed, if I really wanted to beat you up, I wouldn't even need to lift a hand.

  Cheng Dali didn't make a move, it was Lin Shaoyu who did. He blocked Meng Ziyun with one palm and leaned his body forward, heavily colliding with Meng Ziyun's body.

  Both sides were at a stalemate, each taking a step back, and the autumn colors were evenly divided.

  "You little mountain bandit, dare to lay hands on me? You're looking for death!" Mengzi Yun gripped the dagger at his waist tightly.

  Lin Shaoyu remained still as a mountain, beckoning him with a wave of his hand, making a "come" gesture.

  Both sides had their swords drawn, the crisis was about to erupt. At this time, Cheng Dalai walked between the two men, smiling and rushing towards Meng Ziyun: "Want to fight? Anytime is fine, but now what's urgent, fighting or saving people?"

  Mencius said with a faint smile and silence, the hand holding the knife relaxed.

  Cheng Dali smiled, without concealing his disdain.

  "Did you bring money?" Cheng Dalai asked.

  "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."

  Su Ying stared at Cheng Da Lei with her enchanting big eyes. She was afraid of this mountain bandit who suddenly jumped beside her out of nowhere. However, the attribute that allowed her to see through everything told her that Cheng Da Lei had no malicious intentions towards her.

  The two of them were about three steps apart, awkwardly silent. Cheng Dalai didn't know how to break the silence, and suddenly he had an idea, pulling out a sachet from his pocket.

  Thus, Su Qing was treated as an unlucky person, the Su family wanted to drive her out of the house as soon as possible, and the servants looked at her as a disaster star, not wanting to be contaminated with bad luck.

  In the eyes of many, Su Qian was already marrying up by becoming the wife of Huang Yuanwai, who was nearly fifty years old at the time; otherwise, even if she were given to a servant, the servant would not want her.

  These things made Cheng Dairen's eyes widen in shock and incredulity, but to the people of this era, it was only natural, nothing could be more normal.

  There were some things that Su Qian did not tell Cheng Dairen, such as the fact that even if her father knew about it, he would still say something like "Don't bring shame to the Su family, have some integrity and hang yourself" and then take his own life.

  Su Ying is secretly heartbroken, she doesn't show her sadness to others, and in front of everyone at home, she puts on a calm face. But this doesn't mean that deep down, she won't be heartbroken.

  She wasn't afraid that everyone would think this way, in fact Su Ying also thought so deep down, living in this era she couldn't jump out of the thinking of this era.

  "Don't be afraid, they're all bastards, I'm here."

  Su Ying unconsciously raised her head and saw Cheng Dairen patting his chest.

  Mencius said with a faint smile and silence, the hand holding the knife relaxed.
