Chapter 204 The Best Sister-in-law 2
The man nodded and followed Cheng Yue down the mountain. Cheng Yue took him into an abandoned thatched hut at the foot of the mountain.
"Just stay here. I'll bring you some food and come visit you when I'm free."
The man nodded, "I can hunt, you don't have to give me food."
Cheng Yue's eyes lit up. It would be good to know how to hunt. She hadn't eaten meat for a long time.
She looked at the scar on the man's hand and said happily.
"Let me give you a name. You have so many scars on your hands. From now on, I'll call you Little Scar."
The man frowned. Could he say he didn't want to be called this name? Although he had lost his memory, he was not stupid. This name didn't sound good at first glance.
However, he still nodded and agreed.
Cheng Yue skipped happily all the way home. Her good luck had come and no one could stop it.
As soon as she entered the yard, she saw Nan Xi sitting in the yard basking in the sun. Cheng Yue raised her head, snorted, and went back to her home.
"This isn't right."
Xiaoying flew out. It seemed that Cheng Yue had some secret, as if he had found a treasure.
After a while, Xiaoying came back, "Master, Cheng Yue is in a very good mood, but she came back empty-handed, which is very strange."
Nan Xi looked towards the back mountain. Was there some secret there?
The next day, Cheng Yue carefully walked towards the foot of the mountain with a piece of bread in her pocket. Although Xiaoba could hunt, eating meat alone was not enough, so she still had to bring him some food.
Nan Xi followed her and saw the man in the shabby thatched house. She suddenly realized that God was giving the heroine a golden finger. She said, the heroine collapsed so easily, she was so useless.
Nan Xi did not go to see the people in the thatched hut. She went to the mountain. Since she was at the foot of the mountain, she went to play in the mountain and hunt some prey to bring home.
Cheng Yue handed the cake to the man and asked with concern: "Did you think of anything today?"
The man shook his head. When he woke up at the foot of the cliff, he had nothing but a purse on him, his clothes were tattered, and his leg had a slight fracture. It took him several days of rest before he felt better.
Cheng Yue looked at the man and thought silently. Judging from his skills and armor, he should be a military commander.
But she didn't say this out loud, "Just get yourself well first, don't worry, maybe you'll remember it tomorrow."
Cheng Yue tilted her head back and blinked playfully. The man looked away. He felt that this girl was a little too enthusiastic and he felt a little uncomfortable.
Cheng Yue didn't stay long. After talking for a while, she left.
On the way back, I saw a woman knocking on her own gate.
"Aunt, who are you?"
Cheng Yue looked at the woman. She was dressed like a matchmaker. Could she be someone proposing a marriage?
Thinking about the girl at home, since my aunt didn't send the letter, this marriage should be proposed to Cheng Nan.
Matchmaker Wang laughed and said, "I must be here for good reasons. Don't ask so many questions, kid."
After saying that, she pushed the door open and entered the yard.
"Sister Qian, excuse me for disturbing you. I came here to ask for a cup of tea."
When Qian Xiulian saw Wang the matchmaker, she was delighted and invited him to sit down, served her some good tea, and the two of them started chatting.
"Sister Wang, please have tea. Which family are you talking about?"
"...We know the Shen family very well. The Shen boy is very handsome and he is the only scholar among us..."
Cheng Yue felt a little uncomfortable. She met Shen Han yesterday and said bad things about Cheng Nan in front of him. She thought he would ignore Cheng Nan in the future, but who knew he would come to propose marriage?
Qian Xiu Lian had a smile on her face. Although she was a little disgusted with the Shen family's poverty, she was still very satisfied with Shen Han.
The child is good-looking and talented, not to mention he is smart. He has already passed the examination to become a scholar. If he passes the examination to become a juren next year, then our daughter will become the wife of an official.
If you think about it more deeply, it would be amazing if you are lucky enough in the future.
Therefore, Qian Xiu Lian did not refuse and asked about the man's sincerity.
"The Shen family's betrothal gift..."
"Sister Qian, we country folk shouldn't be too concerned about formalities. We won't talk about too many etiquettes. Once the wedding is decided, let's just pick a good day for it."
Hearing Qian Xiulian's satisfaction, Matchmaker Wang said the above words. This was what Shen's mother told her to do, to settle the marriage as soon as possible.
Qian Xiu Lian was a little hesitant. She was quite satisfied. Her daughter had often gone to help the Shen family before. She knew all this, but wasn't it a bit hasty to marry her daughter off so quickly?
"No hurry, I have to discuss this matter with the child's father first."
Matchmaker Wang smiled and said, "Of course, of course. Then I will wait for good news from Sister Qian. I will come to your house in two days."
After sending Wang the matchmaker away, Qian Xiu Lian was very happy. Her daughter was going to marry a scholar, and maybe she could become the wife of an official in the future. Her sweet daughter was so blessed.
Cheng Yue felt a little jealous when she saw Qian Xiu Lian going back to her room. She looked down on Shen Han, but she also didn't want to let Cheng Nan get away with it. After all, Shen Han was quite good-looking.
Thinking of this, she silently encouraged herself. Fortunately, she saved a general who was much stronger than Shen Han. If she married the general in the future, she would be the general's wife, which would be at least higher than the scholar's wife.
Thinking of this, she laughed again.

Nan Xi came down from the mountain and went to the thatched hut. The man looked at her warily.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Nan Xi rolled her eyes. "Of course I am from this village. Who are you? What are you doing here?"
The man was stunned. Yes, he was an outsider. He lowered his head and spoke in a low voice.
"Sorry, I'll just stay here for a while and leave soon."
He had just wanted to hide, but the girl walked straight into the house and exposed him.
Nan Xi took a look at him. This man was covered in mud and dust, and he had martial arts skills. He didn't look like an ordinary person.
"What's your name? Why are you here?"
The man stopped talking. He felt that he could not expose Cheng Yue, otherwise the people in the village might blame her.
Nan Xi asked directly: "Why don't you leave? Are you a wanted criminal? I'm going to tell the village chief to arrest you."
After saying that, Nan Xi walked out. The man quickly stopped her. There seemed to be a little confusion on his face, but he finally said it.
"I...I lost my memory. I don't know where to go, so I'm staying here temporarily. Miss, you don't have to inform the village chief. I'll leave now."
Nan Xi was a little surprised that this person had lost her memory. She nodded. That was right. If she hadn’t lost her memory, how could a village girl have any connection with the powerful?
"So that's how it is. Then I'll treat you. Do you have money?"
The man felt around in his clothes and pulled out a purse. This must be what the girl was talking about.
Nan Xi weighed it and it should be more than five taels.
"Okay, even though it's a little less, I'll be kind enough to treat you."
The man was a little surprised. He had not agreed to the treatment yet. Besides, how could he trust her when they had just met?
Seeing that he was on guard, Nan Xi ignored him and simply touched his body, sealing his acupuncture points. The man looked terrified.
