Quick Wear: The Wronged One Becomes Rebellious

Chapter 298: Marrying the Mountain God 20

Gu Li looked at Gu Jixia, who had been acting like a quail but was actually listening with her ears perked up. She asked this stepsister who had always liked to snatch her things since she was a child: "Gu Jixia, are you really willing to marry into the deep mountains and old forests?"

When Gu Jixia heard her name, she immediately looked up at Gu Li, "That's the mountain god, a half-immortal."

"But you may have to live in the mountains with him forever!"

"So what? I will share a thousand years of life with him!"

Listening to Gu Jixia's affirmative tone, it seemed that the marriage had already been settled.

Gu Li wanted to say something, but Fang interrupted her with dissatisfaction.

"You no longer have the chance to marry the mountain god, so don't block your sister's good opportunity. If you are sensible, when your sister becomes the mountain mother, she will at least give you some good things."

Gu Li shut up.

Good words cannot persuade a ghost who wants to die. She has said everything she needs to say.

Gu Li didn't want to argue with Fang, it was a waste of time.

She held onto Lian's mother and whispered, "Mom, let's ignore her. It's not worth it to get hurt. Yun Shen is still waiting for us to save him!"

Then he said to the village chief: "Uncle village chief, my mother-in-law and I will not delay you from discussing compensation. Since it has nothing to do with us, we will go back first."

The village chief nodded.

Gu Jiande gritted his teeth. Fang wanted to stop him, but she didn't even have the strength to stand up.

He just yelled helplessly: "Stop right there!"

Gu Li turned a deaf ear and walked out of the village chief's house with Lian's mother.

After walking a long distance, Gu Li pulled Lian's mother with shaking hands and ran quickly, "Mom, hurry home and pack up, we're going into the city right away!"

"What's the matter? It's dark now, the city gate should be closed!"

Gu Li paused. Did the winter night come so quickly? She didn’t even know when it got dark outside.

"It's okay, Mom. We'll set off early tomorrow morning!" Gu Li tried her best to calm herself.

"What's the matter? Tell mom if you have something to say!"

Gu Li shook her head. "I just think that the mountain god's marriage is too weird, and the temptation is too great. Maybe the Gu family will do whatever it takes to cause trouble! There are only thieves who can steal for a thousand days, but there is no such thing as guarding against thieves for a thousand days."

Lian's mother felt that what her daughter-in-law said was right. When she returned home, she found that the eggs she had exchanged, along with the basket, were missing. She did not bother to look for them. She simply cooked a meal, packed up her things, and went to bed.

This day was even more tiring than working in the fields during the autumn harvest.

Gu Li was also very tired. She locked the doors and windows, hid under the quilt and fell asleep.

The night was thick and dark, as if a water-soaked quilt was covering Gu Li tightly, or as if a huge black snake was entangled around her, making her unable to move.

She was struggling both in her dreams and in reality, and she was almost strangled to death.

"I heard that you don't want to marry me. Why?" A deep male voice sounded, sometimes near and sometimes far away.

Gu Li knew that it was the mountain god who came into her dream, so she replied: "A woman should not serve two husbands. I am already married!"

"My benefactor, I shall give myself to you!"

This might be the opposite of what she said. Gu Li tried to calm herself down and said, "Lord Mountain God, I didn't expect you to repay me in the future when I saved you."

"You saved me, which was the cause; I gave you the marriage certificate, which was the result. This is the cause and effect between us."

Gu Li endured the pressure of her body sliding down, "No, Lord Mountain God, repaying a favor in the world doesn't just mean giving yourself to me. You can give me money and jewelry to pay it off. In fact, I prefer this way of repaying a favor!"

The voice never appeared again, but the feeling of oppression that bound her lingered for a long time.

When the first ray of sunlight in the early morning shone into the house through the gap, Gu Li finally woke up from her dream.

Gu Li was soaked all over, as if she had just been pulled out of the water. Everything in the dream was so clear. Until the very end, the voice did not give a clear response.

She thought she had embarked on a different path from her previous life, but the so-called mountain god still found her.

If she had come half a month earlier, not only would she not save the black snake that would bite back, she would have skinned it and eaten the snake soup!

When Lian's mother got up, Gu Li had already boiled water, washed herself and changed into clean clothes.

"Why are you washing your hair so early in the morning?" Lian's mother saw that Gu Li's hair was still dripping, so she quickly found a clean towel to wring out her hair.

"Mom, the mountain god came into my dream last night!" Gu Li closed her eyes, enjoying the love of her mother.

"Mountain God? What did it say?"

Several villages near Lingyun Mountain all believe in the existence of mountain gods.

At the foot of the mountain closest to the deep mountains on the east side of Qingxi Village, a mountain temple was built. Every Chinese New Year, every household would go there to worship.

It is said that there was only one village in this area originally. Later, there were intermittent wars in the north and a drought and famine that occurred only once in a century. A large number of refugees fled from the north to the south. When they crossed Lingyun Mountain, they suddenly felt like they had entered another world.

There is no war, let alone drought.

The water flowing down from the mountains is clear, sweet and endless.

A large number of refugees chose to settle here, and one village gradually developed into three or four villages.

There is no shortage of water, and when there is no food, they go to the mountains to hunt and dig wild vegetables. It can be said that the villagers at the foot of the mountain survive by relying on this mountain.

They also believe that it is the gods in the mountains who are protecting them.

Gu Li opened her eyes, turned around and looked into Lian's mother's eyes, and said, "Mom, I want to consummate my marriage with Brother Yun Shen tonight."

Lian's mother was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Okay. But Ah Li is wronged!"

Gu Li's eyes became sore and swollen again, but she quickly suppressed them. On the scale with the mountain god, Lian's mother was on her side.

Gu Li was glad that she made the right choice this time.

As soon as there was some movement in the village, Gu Li and her husband were ready to go out.

Lian's mother stuffed a water bag into Gu Li's bag and said, "I put all the powder from last time into this water bag. If Yun Shen doesn't cooperate, you can give him this to drink!"

Gu Li:-----

Did the mother-in-law make a mistake? Lian Yunshen is her biological son!

------

In the cell, Gu Li and Lian Yunshen sat face to face on a haystack.

Lian Yunshen didn't expect to see Gu Li again so soon. He knew that Gu Li had persuaded several uncles and even found a lawyer for him.

The complaint has been delivered to the county magistrate's desk, and he has not been tortured in the past two days.

He was thankful for Gu Li, but he didn't expect that the first thing Gu Li said when she saw him was, "Brother Yun Shen, let's consummate our marriage."

Lian Yunshen's face flushed red, luckily the cell was dim and he couldn't see it so clearly.

"Why, why are you so anxious?" Lian Yunshen avoided his gaze, but still said, "If I am lucky enough to clear the charges, I will definitely marry you in a grand ceremony; but if I still can't escape death in the end, you can still find a good family again! I won't harm you, Xiao Li'er!"
