Chapter 187: My Name Is Huang Xianxian
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Liu Sanniang was stunned. Why did she feel that this name was a little strange?
Chu Yan smiled. “What’s your name?”
Liu Sanniang looked puzzled. “I… I don’t remember.”
She felt a pain in her head and blurted out. “My name is Huang Xianxian. Yes, Huang Xianxian.”
Chu Yan smiled. “Miss Xianxian.”
Liu Sanniang was a little embarrassed. “Yes.”
After eating, Chu Yan helped Liu Sanniang back into the house to rest. Unknowingly, Liu Sanniang felt a hand on her waist. Her entire body tensed up and she was at a loss.
Chu Yan smiled and helped Liu Sanniang sit down. He retracted his hand and said with a smile, “I still have some things to do. Miss Xianxian, rest well. Feel free to recuperate here before your wound heals.”
Liu Sanniang nodded and unknowingly heaved a sigh of relief. “Alright, thank you.”
Chu Yan left the house and got busy in the courtyard.
Liu Sanniang felt a little drowsy and fell asleep.
After three days, her wound had healed. Her bones still needed to recuperate, but it did not stop her from getting out of bed. However, she was still limping.
She limped to the courtyard with her bamboo walking stick.
Looking at the barren vegetable field, she couldn’t help but laugh. “There are so many worms in your vegetable field. You want to plow and fertilize.”
Chu Yan asked her in confusion. “How? What’s fertilizer?”
Liu Sanniang couldn’t help but laugh so hard that she held her stomach and couldn’t straighten her back. “Don’t you even know what fertilizer is? Why are you so stupid? Hahaha…”
Being mocked, Chu Yan, instead of getting angry, became even gentler, and his eyes were filled with love.
After laughing, Liu Sanniang blushed. “Just get rid of the weeds. As for what fertilizer is… well… it’s human feces…”
Chu Yan asked Liu Sanniang to return to the house and immediately started clearing up the weeds.
When he went to fetch feces to fertilize the vegetables, many villagers teased him. “Lang’er, didn’t you say that you don’t eat vegetables fertilized by feces? Why? Now that you have a wife, you want to eat it?”
Chu Yan ignored them.
Half a month later, the vegetable field quickly turned green. Liu Sanniang also learned that Chu Yan knew how to hunt. Every time, he would come back with wild pheasants and rabbits. Liu Sanniang was too embarrassed to eat the food, but when it was time for dinner, she would end up eating a whole chunk.
Chu Yan seemed to know what she was thinking and kept on filling up her bowl with meat.
Liu Sanniang looked worried. “I can’t eat anymore. I’ll get fat.”
Chu Yan’s expression was gentle as he responded dotingly. “It’s already in your bowl. Just eat less next time.”
In a dilemma, Liu Sanniang stuffed the meat into her mouth.
The next time, it would be the same story repeated.
Every time she faced Chu Yan’s gentle expression, her eyes would not dare to linger on his face. Her heart would beat very fast and she would quickly look away. However, from time to time, she would steal glances at him in secret.
On this day, Liu Sanniang was sitting in the courtyard eating the snacks made by Chu Yan. From afar, she saw several people walking over with baskets.
The woman walked to the bamboo fence door and looked at Liu Sanniang in the courtyard. “Miss, can we come in?”
Liu Sanniang felt a little ill-at-ease. “Sure, sure.”
This was not her house. This was Huang Lang’er’s house. How could she say no?
Liu Sanniang stood up and limped to open the door. When the door opened, the women entered.
After walking in, Liu Sanniang felt that these women were a little strange. Some images appeared in her mind, and she frowned. “You, you…”
Weren’t they dead?
A bloody scene flashed past her mind, but even when she tried her best to retrieve the memory, it was gone. It was as if it was an illusion.
The woman she pointed at, smiled. “Miss, what are you trying to say?”
Liu Sanniang shook her head awkwardly, thinking to herself that she’d better not spout nonsense here.
The women removed the cloth from the basket top and let Liu Sanniang see what was inside. There were some eggs and meat.
They wanted to give it to Liu Sanniang but she was very embarrassed. She did not know if she should take it.
The women smiled. “Miss, when are you and Lang’er getting married?”
Liu Sanniang’s face turned red. Marry! Marry?
Before she could get a grasp of what was happening, the women started talking excitedly.
“We all heard that you were saved by Lang’er on the mountain, right? We heard that you were seriously injured.”
Liu Sanniang nodded. When she woke up, she was indeed caught by the trap and was rescued by Huang Lang’er.
Two women held her wrists and helped her back into the house. “Miss, people say that if your life is saved by another person, it’s better to repay that person with your life. Lang’er is still unmarried.”
Another woman chimed in. “That’s right. He saved your life. Miss, have you thought about how to repay him? Lang’er doesn’t lack anything except a wife.”
Liu Sanniang blushed. She thought of that man. He said that his name was Huang Lang’er. Somehow, Liu Sanniang thought that this name was strange, but that thought stayed only momentarily before it was replaced by the thought of marrying him.
Her heart raced and her face flushed.
What those women spoke after that, she couldn’t remember a word.
The women stood up with a smile. “Miss, we’re leaving. We’ll come to visit you again next time.”
Finally, they were gone.
Liu Sanniang heaved a sigh of relief.
When Chu Yan returned, he went to the kitchen and rolled up his sleeves to start cooking. Liu Sanniang was woken up by him in a daze.
Chu Yan smiled. “It’s time to eat.”
While eating, Liu Sanniang said softly, “Some people came today and brought us some food. They even suggested something to me.”
Chu Yan smiled and nodded. “I know. Don’t take their nonsense to heart. When you recover, I’ll send you home.”
Liu Sanniang was a little confused. Where was her home?
Chu Yan looked at Liu Sanniang and asked. “Miss Xianxian, I met you on the mountain, but where is your house?”
Liu Sanniang subconsciously blurted out. “On the mountain. I’m actually a demon. I’m a weasel.”
After saying that, Liu Sanniang felt a little nervous and guilty. “I didn’t mean to keep it a secret from you. I… I just remembered it.”
She wasn’t lying. She suddenly remembered that she was a weasel and the mountain god of the mountains in this area. She was worried that Chu Yan wouldn’t believe her. She stood up and twirled before revealing a tail and a pair of fluffy ears.
Chu Yan narrowed his eyes and chuckled. “Miss Xianxian is really beautiful.”
Liu Sanniang was struck dumb. She looked at Chu Yan in disbelief and said, “Aren’t you afraid of me? I’m not human.” Why wasn’t he scared and even praised her for being beautiful?
