Because he has no right to open his mouth, he can only choose to quietly listen attentively, but not how long? He had no idea that her eloquence was so good that she could persuade herself.
After sighing few times in a row, Xīfān said: “Compared to go dining, wining, whoring and gambling, beating his wife, selling a daughter to seek glory, big money for unfaithful marriage. The married women of the Liǔshù village are in fact not excessive, she just can’t stand life, just want to run away.”
“Think about it and to think it’s really unfair for what reason the Liǔshù Village married woman want to submerge in the pond? Elder Qián however wasn’t punish? Why does everyone ignore his hatefulness, Just paying tribute to the loyalty of Qian sǎozi? Why do men do what they want, but women must tolerate it again and again? Is the basic standard of the world unfair?”
“I really missed the 21st century, there’s no distinction between man and woman, only separate to able and unable. Men have the ability to succeed, A woman can succeed if she has the skills, women don’t make less money than men. Equality between men and women is the perception of the masses. Knowing that “the crown prince is guilty of crimes against the people” for you it’s just a slogan, But it’s a natural attitude to us……”
Chatting about the 21st century, Xīfān began talking non-stop only to leave the day, she already given birth to strong thoughts.
The man listen very seriously, even though her world is too strange for him, even if you can’t understand why women there can show their faces in public, earn their own living? He very much wants to ask, ‘What are all the men doing there? Why don’t they have the skills to take care of their women?’
“……I don’t know what the parents of Jiāng family’s wife are thinking. How to be willing to marry their daughter to the obstacles of Helen gōngzǐ, could it be that I’m right, numerous children at home, the family is late to prepare since the reproduction is strong. The speed of reproduction is fast also the home is short of rice in the pot. Is it a matter, of course, to sell a few children in order to survive?”
“But Helen gōngzǐ how dare you? dare to take hold of an unknown strange woman to put on your side? don’t tell me you are not afraid of the other side having a wicked intention, to want to murder you for money? to want to murder, if I were you I would rather live alone, and don’t want to be around strangers.”
If it wasn’t for his own actions, the man really wants to clap his hands for her, she is quite intelligent, guessing clues twice in quick succession.
That’s right because the other party “appear to have a wicked intention, to want to murder for money” otherwise how could he have befallen to this type of plight.
As she spoke, Xīfān suddenly seems to think of something and a sudden sigh, covered her mouth with both hands, staring at the man with a pair of eyes, her tone suddenly become cautious and solemn¹.
“Could it be true that the original owner of this body wants to murder to make a fortune only then meet with you while still alive you made the first move to kill? You are the one who emptied her soul, to the extent that I…… easily check-in?”
Her inference made the man’s heart tremble, ‘she actually guessed it?!’
How is it smart and wise, to be able to guess under the circumstances not to have the least bit of clues, guess it pretty close?
Hidden regret, he really wishes his eyes can see, he wants to take a look at her expression, to guess her thoughts.
The atmosphere condenses, after a long silence, Xīfān once again started to talk. “But is that really the case? I merely kick it lightly and you fell on the floor which ever made the first move is an advantage, or to say…… That foot was caught off guard, or……” she pondered for a long time.
Her guess allowed the man’s mind to begin to stir², although trying to conceal the excitement in his heart, yet he very much wants to know, to answer it “or” what is the amazing language behind?
Xīfān walk back and forth the bed one after another, it seems as if thinking deeply about something. It was a good long time to make an ironic conclusion–
“How about I try it again?”
If it were not for him to remember what “Helen” is in her mouth, he’s really going to laugh out loud, ‘try again?’
To kick him again to be able to measure if he has the ability to strike first and gain the upper hand?³. He really wants to scoff.
Retracting back the praise, she’s not as smart as he thinks he.
“First I want to make it clear, this is not bullying, it’s just a simple test, I’m very compassionate and absolutely don’t bully a deaf and dumb person.” She was explaining her conscience once again.
In fact after so much serious pondering, indeed she shouldn’t have picked up such a mindless word. Who will believe that once she was a successful career woman, once a manager level above everyone? Could it be that the process of crossing causes damage to a person’s brain?
No way, she really can’t think of other conjecture to try.
Xīfān made preparation in advance, first put the pillow on the inside of the bed, Calculate the direction of the force and estimate the angle at which he will be kicked out and finally once again put to use the no shadow kick of Fóshān4.
The left foot stands straight, warm up for 3 seconds, The right leg stretches out and then retracts quickly. The movement is in one go in the shortest possible time.
In a flash, his body received a wave of external force from the east. He on account of “debility and deficiency of ‘QI’5” was lacking strength to bear thus the body flies out toward the inside of the bed with a swing of ninety degrees.
“Ah Ah boo hoo……” There was a wave of protests in his mouth that Xīfān could not understand, both hands in the air waving for a short time and then hit the pillow in precision.
The test results came out, it’s her pick the belly of the nobleman, the man is not dependent on the murderer, the murderer was not Helen. Xīfān set him straight up to the side and turn towards him to apologize, “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have made such an absurd question, accusing you of murder without the strength to truss a chicken. It’s the most amusing thing is this world. Yes, I think too much, your heart is quite good and honest, your manner is quite sincere. People like you absolutely will not conspire to murder other people. I’m sorry It’s my heart that’s so evil.”
Isn’t it so, when the wind blows, it falls, he this person early to start unlikely to act strong, it’s only possible to suffer a calamity, therefore Jiāng family’s wife…… to walk on her own and carelessly slip and fall, a wisp of fragrant soul return and hate the heaven?
The man’s face was written with the word “anxious,” and she saw that he was apologetic, Anyone who gets fooled is unhappy, right? If she is able to communicate, she will probably send him a series of Three Character Classic6.
Communication? She suddenly recalled the writing she had said in her makeshift lie.
She suddenly grabs his hand, secretly in her heart turn to heaven to pray, to beseech God to bestow him an exquisite heart, so they can do the communication in mind. So she wrote on his palm, “Are you hungry?” and wait patiently for his reaction.
Xīfān heartbeat was very fast, It feels a bit like waiting for a college entrance examination roll-call of successful candidates. She lean her head, carefully examine the movement of his face, suddenly she saw him nod after a brief hesitation
He is nodding, he is nodding!
Very good! Her eagerness, lying, and finding unexpectedly a way out for herself, the willow trees make the shade, the flowers give the light7. The village is in front of her she wants to cheer, wants to encourage love, wants to thank heavens and even more want to ferociously bite on his face.
Can…… not, don’t be happy too soon, try it again, Maybe it’s just a blind cat running into a dead rat.
“The neighbor sent something, how about eat a little bit?” As she spoke, she practiced regular script (Chinese calligraphic style) on his hands two degrees.
This time he didn’t let her wait, without hesitation nodded.
Heavens that’s extremely wonderful! A short to no longer brief communication. Xīfān unable to restrain her happiness.
Just say it, mankind is a herd of animals, although as a single woman in the city, already used to treating loneliness as a friend, and loneliness as a lover but she still needs to confront the crowd, confront intimate comrades!
“Very good, eat!” She excitedly jumps out of bed, walks around the house, finds a wooden basin and a handkerchief, rushes to the kitchen stove side to take the water.
