Chapter 176 Life
The news of the sect competition did not reach Qin Shuxue - in order to keep it secret, they almost cut off all contact with the outside world. Originally, it was unnecessary, but later, each sect strengthened its vigilance and patrols, and the two had no other choice.
Qin Shuxue spent a few days in leisure, and at most she seldom went out. In order to avoid getting too familiar with the villagers, Qin Shuxue and Xie Mingce basically stayed in their own small courtyard. Qin Shuxue's appearance had changed, so it didn't really matter if she went out. Although Xie Mingce was still the same Xie Mingce, he was sometimes too tired to take care of himself from working every day, and he was so worn out that it was hard to tell what he looked like.
The two of them had a pastime in the courtyard, where Xie Mingce taught Qin Shuxue some boxing. Qin Shuxue discovered that the original owner's body had not completely disappeared. She could feel that the current situation was that the two of them had merged together, so her spiritual power had not been completely lost. But this spiritual power was not much, and it was even more pitiful than before. If it was said that she had it before but didn't know how to use it, now even if she used it completely, it would not be as strong as before.
Xie Mingce understood her situation - she naturally didn't say that she was a time traveler. Although he would also give Qin Shuxue some spiritual power guidance, Xie Mingce always didn't understand the meaning, because Qin Shuxue didn't seem to have received basic education, because she was not even proficient in operating spiritual power. It can be said that Qin Shuxue was completely like someone who didn't know what spiritual power was.
Of course, to be able to come here and need his protection, she must be a special person. Xie Mingce knew it and was not willing to ask more questions. Qin Shuxue was a good student in other aspects except this one. Although she was a girl, she did not complain or feel tired when practicing martial arts with him. Seeing that his student was so diligent, Xie Mingce was more willing to teach her martial arts.
Qin Shuxue was of course diligent, all because she was afraid. She was extremely afraid of being attacked by the formation again, extremely afraid of being killed. At the moment before death, she thought she could not escape, and she actually had a self-destructive mind, but when she opened her eyes and came back to life, lying on the bed, touching her body that was still alive, she understood again.
Qin Shuxue was actually very afraid of being tired, but in order to quickly adapt to the intensity of training, she would never sit down as long as she could stand in the house or in the yard. She took over Xie Mingce's work, and although she had a bed, she would never sleep except at night.
Xie Mingce thought that Qin Shuxue was naturally hardworking, no wonder she could not afford the tuition but still studied hard. The more he looked at this student, the more he liked her. Qin Shuxue occasionally met his eyes and felt creepy. She thought to herself that Xie Mingce was counting on her to become successful, and then the whole world would point at her and say, "Look, she is Xie Mingce's disciple"?
There was only one thing Xie Mingce would never let Qin Shuxue interfere with, and that was chopping wood in the mountains. He said there were wolves, tigers and leopards in the mountains, but that was not all. The point was that some people with bad intentions would hide in the mountains, and a girl would disappear without a look.
Qin Shuxue didn't believe this at first, but after so many troubles in the past few days, she had to believe it. Xie Mingce was a grown man with a lot of strength, so she didn't force him, but just went to the village entrance to pick him up.
As time went by, it was inevitable that gossip would arise between a man and a woman. Qin Shuxue was young, but she was not the child of Xie Mingce. The two did not look alike, so it was hard to say what their relationship was. Moreover, the family often stayed indoors, and no one knew what they were doing inside. Over time, the rumors Qin Shuxue heard had changed several times.
Version 1: Qin Shuxue was a child bride raised by Xie Mingce. Whether it was due to war or evil spirits, most of her family members died, so she had no choice but to leave the house to seek refuge. If Qin Shuxue was not too young, she would definitely give birth to several children for Xie Mingce.
Version 2: Qin Shuxue is Xie Mingce's adopted sister. Although she is his sister in name, Xie Mingce actually wants to marry her and not let her see other men. I heard that there are always noises in their room, day and night...
Version 3: Qin Shuxue was a girl abandoned by her parents, and Xie Mingce took pity on her and adopted her. So Qin Shuxue developed an inappropriate feeling towards Xie Mingce, hoping to take good care of him and give birth to a few big fat boys for him.
……
In short, no matter how it is passed around, it still can't avoid the matter of men and women. They make a good thing sound dirty enough. This is the ability of idle people.
Qin Shuxue was doing horse stance according to Xie Mingce's rules. When she heard Xie Mingce speaking these words with a red face and a little anger, she didn't get angry, she even laughed.
You tell me if it's outrageous or not? This body is only thirteen or fourteen years old. Even if she marries a man at this age, people with a conscience will not become husband and wife right now. Qin Shuxue is not only having an affair, but also a thirsty woman. She is speechless to the extreme.
Looking at Xie Mingce's red face, as if his virginity had been taken away, Qin Shuxue smiled and comforted him: "These country folks only say the same few words over and over again, you know that too. This is the only way they amuse themselves, we know whether we are like this or not. There is no need to get angry over something that is not true."
Xie Mingce stiffened his neck and said, "I know. It's fine if they say that about me, but it's outrageous that a girl like you has your reputation ruined like this!"
Qin Shuxue didn't care that much about her reputation, but she thought about it and realized that this kind of outsider who was talked about by the whole village was particularly easy to attract other people's attention without thinking. If she wanted to investigate something, she would definitely interrogate this kind of person first.
She was just worried and said, "It doesn't matter whether we have a good reputation or not, but shouldn't we go out more often? Otherwise, wouldn't we look like bad people, and be obviously bad? It would be bad if we offended the people in these villages. It would also be troublesome if we were found here."
How could Xie Mingce not know the truth of what Qin Shuxue said, but every time he came home from work and heard what these people said, he couldn't help getting angry. He was not born in the countryside, and his family taught him to be upright since he was a child. Not to mention gossiping, any words that were not in line with etiquette would be punished. He never talked behind people's backs, and he rarely encountered gossipers in the sect. This was the first time he encountered such a thing, and naturally he couldn't accept it. Every time he passed by and heard these words, he knew the truth, and in order to persuade himself not to get angry, he told himself not to worry, and he would definitely get it done in two days.
