C9 (1/2)

When I returned to the Aunt House again, I went to Chunxi's room first. Seeing that there was nothing in Chunxi's room, my originally low mood became even more dejected.

When I went out of the door, I saw that a big sister wearing red embroidered shoes had come from Aunt House, trying to comb her hair.

The red embroidered shoes were so beautiful that I couldn't help but take a few more glances.

However, after Aunt Tao helped her comb her hair, not only did she not stay in the Aunt House, she even said that she would be married in three days.

Standing at the Aunt House entrance and watching that big sister leave, I was filled with confusion, unable to understand what exactly that big sister was doing.

Aunt Tao is still letting me carry the rules and accept the punishments I need to follow when I go against the rules at the back of the village.

Self-bunning Lady forbids anyone from marrying a living person, and can only marry a dead person or ghost.

The Aunt Tao came to my side and told me, with a chuckle, that there was a kind of compromise called not leaving home when parents forced her into marriage and fought against it.

It was a fake marriage custom for the son of the Self-bunning Lady. That kind of Self-bunning Lady would attend the wedding but refuse to consummate the marriage with their husband, taking advantage of the three dynasties' return journey to stay at their parents' home.

This kind of Self-bunning Lady did not need to live in the Aunt House.

I vaguely understood and nodded before following Aunt Tao to eat.

After dinner, Aunt Tao found me a textbook and began to teach me how to read.

The first time I read a book, the textbook attracted all my attention.

I cherish this hard-earned learning opportunity, learning can be described as hungry.

The night two days later, I saw that elder sister once again at Aunt House.

With the help of the Aunt Tao and a few other Self-bunning Lady s, the older sister wore a set of clothes that were interconnected from top to bottom and had been sewn extremely securely.

Wearing clothes like that makes it impossible to go to the bathroom unless you cut the clothes open.

After the elder sister put on her clothes, she left with the two older Self-bunning Lady.

I asked Aunt Tao how long would it take for him to wear clothes like that, and she said three days and three nights.

Aunt Tao's answer stunned me. Aunt Tao said that there would be gains and losses, I don't have to worry about this, this is what you have to experience before you can stay at home.

Without waiting for the day of sister's return, the two Self-bunning Lady s that left with sister had already returned to the Aunt House with divine expressions.

They told Aunt Tao that the groom had died suddenly for no reason and that the elder sister had taken advantage of the chaos to return to her parents' home.

Someone pushed the responsibility of the groom's sudden death onto the sister who had already combed her hair, clamoring that she would go to the elder sister's home and Aunt House later to demand an explanation.

After Aunt Tao calmly listened to the two Self-bunning Lady s, she waved for the two Self-bunning Lady s to go back and rest.

In the next few days, no one came to the Aunt House to cause trouble.

From the discussions of the Self-bunning Lady s in the Aunt House, I knew that the bridegroom's family had to compensate his elder sister for causing trouble at her house.

The more poor we are, the poorer we will become. We will probably marry our daughters to earn some money. When the groom's family is in trouble, the elder sister's family will want to hand over the elder sister.

The elder sister was forced to have the thought of living a light life. After her attempt to hang herself, her mind became more and more abnormal.

Aunt Tao was indifferent to the discussions and stayed at the Aunt House to teach me textbooks everyday.

I wanted to ask why Aunt Tao didn't care about that big sister. I also wanted to ask Aunt Tao about our village, and even more so, wanted to go to the monastery.

I am too afraid that one day Aunt Tao will kick me out of the Aunt House.

After a few more days, the Aunt Tao left due to some matters. After being conflicted for a long time, I decided to return to the monastery quickly.

To save time, I took a shortcut up the mountain.

Zuo Mu told me about the shortcut when I was staying at the monastery. He said that even his master didn't know about the shortcut.

When I took a shortcut to the monastery, it was empty. I looked through all the rooms in the monastery and found that only the furniture was left.

Zuo Mu followed his master and left. This knowledge made my eyes sour and unstoppable.

I gripped the small peach wood dagger that Zuo Mu gave me and returned to the Aunt House with incomparable disappointment.

When we were about to reach the foot of the mountain, I was surprised to see the Aunt Tao and an old Daoist with a bundle on his back standing at the foot of the mountain, talking about something.

I immediately squatted down and slowly approached the Aunt Tao and the old Taoist. I wanted to know if the old Taoist was Zuo Mu's master, Taoist Jingyan and I also wanted to know where Zuo Mu was.

The mountain was so overgrown with weeds and trees that my approach had not been discovered.

I heard the old Taoist asking the Aunt Tao when he was about to return.

Aunt Tao said that she had waited for ten years and finally no longer needed to wait. As for when she would return, she was unsure.
