The lady in the lake looked at Mo Wen with an aggrieved expression. She looked as aggrieved as one could imagine.
"Cut the crap. Who are you? Why are you here? "
Mo Wen asked with a cold face. His family's village was nearby, and they were the only village in the surrounding area. The appearance of this obviously abnormal woman here made him wary.
Moreover, he was certain that there was no lady like her in his village. Otherwise, it was impossible that he did not know that she was so devastatingly beautiful.
At this moment, he could not care less about how charming the lady was. He wanted to interrogate her first.
"I am me. This is my home. Why can't I appear here? Instead, it is you, a bad person, who came to disturb me. What are your intentions? "
The lady pouted her lips, looking very innocent.
Mo Wen looked away, deliberately not looking at the demoness. He was afraid that if he looked at her again, he would not be able to bear to continue the interrogation.
"You better confess now. Otherwise, don't blame me for dragging you out and" interrogating "you." “
Mo Wen said sarcastically, especially emphasizing the word "torture". Anyone could understand the meaning behind his words. To a young lady, this was undoubtedly the scariest threat.
"You are so unreasonable. You are simply a hooligan. So bad, so bad …"
The lady in the lake looked at Mo Wen with a faint smile. The aggrieved and innocent expression on her face disappeared. Instead, she looked at Mo Wen with a meaningful gaze.
"Looks like you are refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit."
Mo Wen finally confirmed that there was something wrong with this lady. His face was cold. Without another word, he extended his hand and grabbed at the lake. A huge whirlpool suddenly appeared in the lake. The surrounding lake water suddenly sank. The lady was in the middle of the whirlpool. A strong suction force enveloped her body, attempting to pull her onto the shore.
At this moment, Mo Wen did not care about morality. This lady was too suspicious. He was worried that she would harm his village.
"Little hooligan, as expected, you have been like this since you were young. I'm not going to play with you anymore. "
The lady rolled her eyes at Mo Wen charmingly. Then, she disappeared from her original spot, not leaving a trace behind.
"Eh, where did she go?"
Qin Xiaoyou rubbed her eyes. She suspected that she was hallucinating. How could a person disappear just like that? She carefully searched the surroundings, but still couldn't find the woman.
"She left."
Mo Wen's expression was extremely grave. He did not even know how the maiden had left. He could not sense anything at all. She had disappeared into thin air. Even his Deified Soul Power could not capture a single trace of her.
"She … couldn't have … met a female ghost …"
Qin Xiaoyou covered her mouth with her hands and widened her eyes. She looked like she was ready to scream at any moment. It was too strange. He was a perfectly fine person. Why did he disappear just like that?
"In any case, it's not something normal. Let's go back immediately."
Mo Wen's expression was solemn as he pulled Qin Xiaoyou away. He really wanted to return to the village now and hoped that nothing had happened there.
"Even female ghosts aren't that beautiful. She must be a fox spirit who specializes in seducing people in the mountains. Otherwise, how could she look like her?"
Along the way, Qin Xiaoyou slowly regained her senses. She was no longer under the influence of the woman's charm. A wave of envy and jealousy rose in her heart. If it was any other woman, they would be jealous of that woman's beauty.
Mo Wen did not care who the woman was as long as she did not harm his villagers. He would burn incense and pray to Buddha. Meeting such a woman in the wild mountains did not seem like a good thing no matter how he looked at it.
Not long after the two of them left, ripples appeared on the lake that had calmed down again. A beautiful face rose from the lake. It was none other than that bewitching woman.
"That's strange. Little Master is back this time. He is very different from before. His entire person seems to be a different person. What did he experience outside? However, his willpower has improved quite a bit. He can actually maintain his composure in front of me. He is a world of difference from when he was young and peeked at Xiaocui next door when she was bathing. "
The bewitching woman had a smile on her face. Her beautiful eyes curved into crescent moons.
"After studying, he brought a young lady home. If Madam saw this, I wonder what expression she would have. However, that lady is not bad looking. She is also a good person. Her taste is not bad. "
"Let's go home. Why does Little Master only come back after so long? I miss him so much."
Quietly, the woman disappeared from the lake once again.
…
After passing through thirty miles of forest, they stood on a hillside. They could finally see a farm in the distance. The village was surrounded by fields with smoke rising from chimneys. There were about forty to fifty families. The village that Mo Wen was in was very small. It was almost isolated from the rest of the world and had almost no contact with the outside world. In the whole village, he was the only one who went out to study. Every time he returned home, the villagers liked to call him Lord Scholar.
The village was isolated from the rest of the world. Many people knew nothing about the outside world. Their understanding of many things even stopped before the Ming Dynasty.
"Our village is isolated from the rest of the world. The villagers are not very knowledgeable. However, their customs are simple and friendly. I'm afraid you can't look at the people in the village with the eyes of the outside world. Otherwise, some of the customs will most likely cause misunderstandings."
Mo Wen pulled Qin Xiaoyou to a small path that led to the village. He briefly explained some of the things that happened in the village.
"Don't worry. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. I am not some rich young mistress."
As the two of them talked, they walked to the front of the village. It was noon and the sun was shining brightly. There was almost no one farming in the fields. The villagers had all returned home to cook. Smoke rose from the chimneys and the light aroma of rice could be smelled from afar.
The houses were densely packed on the small path in the village. When they passed by some farmers, many people recognized Mo Wen and greeted him.
"Aiya, isn't that the Mo Clan's Lord Scholar? He has returned home."
"Our village's Lord Scholar has returned home. For such a big event, we should at least set off firecrackers at the entrance of the village," someone teased.
"Eh, that lady is so pretty. Whose virgin is she? Mo Wen, you are quite lucky with women."
…
The villagers were very friendly. Moreover, there were not many people. Mo Wen, a scholar who studied outside, naturally received a lot of attention when he returned to the village.
As Mo Wen greeted those people, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, everything in the village was normal and there were no problems.
Not long after, Mo Wen walked to the front of his house. His house was on a hillside with a higher terrain. It was surrounded by mountains and trees. There were five families in this area. His house occupied a rather large courtyard. There were more than ten wooden houses. There was no shortage of land or wood in the mountains. The cost of building a wooden house was not high, but with such a courtyard, it could be considered a wealthy family in the village. Mo Wen's eyes lit up.
Mo Wen was just about to walk into his house when a lady from the neighboring house suddenly walked out. She was holding a basin in her hand and was pouring water out. There were a few vegetable leaves floating in the water. She must have just finished washing the vegetables.
"Aiya, isn't this Xiao Cui? You are getting more and more beautiful." Mo Wen smiled and went forward to talk to her.
"Mo Wen! Ptui, you lecher, damn hooligan … "
When the lady called Xiao Cui saw Mo Wen, she was slightly stunned. Clearly, she did not expect that Mo Wen, who had gone out to study, would return home. However, she immediately thought of something and glared back at him. She did not have a good expression on her face.
Xiao Cui was wearing a very simple greyish-white dress made of coarse cloth. Her clothes were also very old-fashioned. Her skin was a little rough because she often worked in the fields. However, overall, Xiao Cui was still a very delicate and pretty girl.
"Don't be like this. We were still young back then."
Mo Wen smiled brightly. He naturally knew why Xiao Cui was treating him like this. It was all because when they were young, he did not know what was wrong with him. He went to peek at Xiao Cui bathing. In the end, he was discovered …
However, Xiao Cui was older than him by four years. At that time, she was not young anymore. She had everything she needed. When she found out that she had been peeked at by a little kid, she was immediately furious. From then on, she had been at odds with Mo Wen until now.
"He was a hooligan when he was young. When he grew up, he probably would not be a good person. That lady is your girlfriend, right? You have to be careful of Mo Wen, the lecher. Who knows when he will go out to flirt. You have to keep a close eye on him. "
Xiao Cui softly snorted. She carried the basin and turned around to walk back home. She even tried to sow discord between them. No matter what, she had to get revenge for what happened back then.
"What did you do to the lady?" Qin Xiaoyou looked at Mo Wen with a strange gaze.
A lady, once she saw Mo Wen, she called him a lecher and a damn hooligan. That disgusted look on her face made it very likely that this fellow had done something wrong to her.
"What could I have done to her? I am a good person. I have received higher education. I am a man of character, upbringing, and integrity. "
Mo Wen straightened his neck and said in all seriousness. Even if he was beaten to death, he would not mention the ridiculous things that he had done back then.
"That lady was right about one thing. You would go out and flirt if you are not careful. Unfortunately, it is useless for me to keep a close eye on you. Who can control a cat that likes to steal?"
"Sigh, I am very loyal."
"Yes, very loyal to flirt."
"…"
With a creak, Mo Wen pushed open the door to the courtyard. Outside was a large courtyard. After walking through a door, there was a small courtyard.
Just as he walked into the small courtyard, Mo Wen noticed that the square table in the courtyard was already filled with food. A silhouette was busy in the kitchen. In the huge courtyard, other than the silhouette, there was no one else.
"Mother, I am back."
Looking at the silhouette in the kitchen, Mo Wen's eyes instantly turned red. He suddenly had a feeling that he had been reborn. Although he had only been away from home for a year, in his memory, it felt like decades had passed.
No matter how he dreamed of his life in the other world, he was still himself, and his mother would always be his mother. (To be continued.)
