Little Peasant Wife - Chapter 4

God was not unkind to her, and give her a new life once again, then she has to tried hard than in the previous life.

As she walked, she was looking at the roadside scenery, and unknowingly has walked to the foot of the mountain.

She raised her eyes and glanced at the mountain, then walked in without hesitation.

The mountains were verdant, with dense trees, fragrant flowers and plants, extremely splendid.

According to the memory of her previous life, she walked through the dense forest, crossed the creek, and came to a dilapidated house.

This house was called a haunted house by the villagers. People may not know why it was called this way, but she does.

Because one person has died in this house, and the person who died should be the owner who wrote the ‘Wordless Book of Heaven’.

In the previous life, if she hadn’t hid in this haunted house to avoid the rain, then she would not have found that “Wordless Book of Heaven”.

She took a deep breath, adjusted her breathing, and pushed the door in.

What entered her eyes was a blackened and broken table, and on the table were placed a teapot and a bowl, the teapot and bowl were covered with cobwebs and dust.

A little bit inward, it was a wooden bed made with pieces of woods, and there was skeleton of the dead on the bed. The skeleton was rotten and out of shape, some places even turned black, and were full of worms.

Liu Jin walked to the bed, put down the back basket, knelt down and said, “Master, this apprentice is coming to see you again.”

After speaking, she kowtow and knocked her head a few times towards the bones.

In the previous life, she was not so calm when faced with this skeleton. At that time, she almost fainted by this skeleton.

But in this life, she truly regards this skeleton of the dead as her master, so she was no longer so scared deep down in her heart.

After knocking her head, Liu Jin reached out and took out the wooden box under the bed.

When she opened it, there was a yellow and old book in the box.

Liu Jin excitedly took out the book, and said happily: “It’s great, the ‘Wordless Book of Heaven’ is still here.”

In the previous life, she made her fortune based on this book. Seeing it again in this life, she couldn’t help feeling excited.

Liu Jin picked up the “Wordless Book of Heaven” and hid it in her lapel bosom. Then she took off her coat, wrapped the bones, and carried it outside for burial.

After burying the skeleton, she did not go down the mountain or dig wild vegetables, but walked towards the bamboo forest on the other side of the mountain.

In this season, bamboo shoots were everywhere in the bamboo forest, but no one digs them, because the villagers didn’t know that these bamboo shoots were edible.

They just waited for the bamboo shoots to grow into bamboo trees, and then chopped them back to make a basket…

She remembered that these bamboo shoots were actually edible in the painting of  ‘Wordless Book of Heaven’.

In her previous life, she also deliberately studied bamboo shoots and made them into delicious dishes. The taste – it really made her lingering in aftertaste.

Liu Jin couldn’t help being ravenous when she thought of something delicious, she licked her lips, squatted down eagerly, and began to dig up bamboo shoots.

Since there had been a spring rain a few days ago, the soils was very moist, and it didn’t take much effort to dig it up.

In a short while, she dug a basket of bamboo shoots.

In order to concealed people’s eyes and ears*, not to be noticed that in her back basket was bamboo shoots, she dug some wild vegetables nearby and covered them on top of the bamboo shoots.

*掩人耳目(yǎnrén’ěrmù); to fool people (idiom), to pull the wool over people’s eyes.

Liu Jin picked up the heavy back basket and walked down the mountain. After only a few steps, she saw a person lying by the river not far away.

She frowned and slandered in confusion: Why would anyone lie here?

Liu Jin walked over curiously, and when she came near to this person, she was suddenly taken aback by this person.

This person was a man. His whole body was covered with scars, blood was flowing from the wounds continuously, staining the water and soil nearby, and the white robe on his body was almost dyed bright red.

Liu Jin looked at him in shock, and after looking it for a long time, she just came back to her senses.

Seeing that the wounds on his body were all caused by swords, she couldn’t help feeling anxious. It seemed that he must have been hunted down to this point, so for the sake of her life, she better leave here as soon as possible.

So she turned around and left without hesitation.

But after only a few steps, she turned back.

She stared at the man closely, wondering if he had died, if not, then if she left like this, wouldn’t it means she just doing nothing when somebody was dying?

After many hesitations, she still decided to see if he still had a breath.

She put down the back basket, walked carefully to the man’s side, reached out and turned over the man’s body, letting him face up.

When her gaze touched the man’s face, she suddenly gasped, his face…how can it be so handsome!

She always thought that Xun Ziyu was handsome enough, but when she saw the man’s face, she knew that Xun Ziyu’s face was far less than half his handsome face.

His eyebrows were as thick as ink, his nose was as tall as a small hill, the eyelashes under his closed eyes were as long as feathers like butterfly wings, and his thin lips were filled with blood, as if they were put on vermilion, it was breathtaking.

No matter what angle, the contours on his face was as if they were carefully carved out, so beautiful it made people suffocating.

Liu Jin admired for a while before pulling her thoughts back.

She squatted down and raised her hand to test if the man still breathing.

The moment her hand touched the man’s nose, the man’s eyes suddenly opened, and she hurriedly retracted her hand in fright.

Mu Feng looked at Liu Jin briskly, and asked coldly, “Who are you?”

He saw that the dress on her was just the dress of an ordinary peasant girl, and he guessed in his heart that she shouldn’t be the killer sent by that cheap woman.

Liu Jin noticed the murderous look in the opponent’s eyes, and couldn’t help stepping back a few steps.

“I’m Liu Jin, I’m just passing by here…not the one who wants to kill you.” Liu Jin explained cautiously.

When Mu Feng listened to her words, his heart fell instantly.

He got up painfully, looked around, and asked again: “Where is this place?”

“Qingling Mountain.” Liu Jin replied.

“I’m not talking about this, I’m talking about the name of the county where this mountain is located?”

“Meiyuan County.” Liu Jin answered truthfully.

Mu Feng’s eyes constricted and thought deeply. He didn’t expected that he jumped off the cliff, not only did he not die, but was washed by the river to this place instead.

Heavens truly do not want his life!

Just when he was enthralled by his thoughts , a howling of a wild wolf suddenly sounded.

When Liu Jin heard the sound, her heart gave a loud thump.

Not good, the wild wolf is here.

She knew that there were wild wolves on this mountain, but they didn’t usually appear during the day. The reason they came out today might be attracted by the smell of blood on his body.

She watched the wild wolf gradually approaching them, and she couldn’t help but resented her curiosity. If she was not curious, she wouldn’t come here, and she wouldn’t have encountered a wild wolf.

It was said that curiosity kills people*, sure enough it as expected!

*Raw context 好奇心害死人, not 好奇心害死猫 LOL

She swears that if she could go back alive today, she would never be curious again.

She moved her body, trying to run away with her back basket, but when she moved, the wild wolf turned his eyes and stared at her tightly.

Looking at those green eyes, Liu Jin felt terrified in her heart.

She was finally reborn, today she won’t really going to die here ba.

Mu Feng turned his eyes and glanced at Liu Jin, he said coldly: “If you don’t want to die, just stand there and don’t move.”

After listening to him, Liu Jin really stood still on the spot.

She hoped that he would have a way to deal with the wild wolves.
