It was getting late at this time, and the weather was getting colder at night. Since the fire in the village was not a threat at all, the next thing to do was to go home.

Gu Tianya carried the body of his fourth sister-in-law on his back again. The other widows still wanted to help him carry it, but Li Xiuning suddenly pushed aside the girls and said vaguely: "You lead the way, I will just help him carry it."

.”

As he said that, he gave the torch in his hand directly to a widow, then pushed the other widows aside, and said again: "You are responsible for holding the torch, just light up the front..."

Several widows looked at each other, subconsciously looking at Tianya's face. One of the widows was quite young, and she said, "It only takes one person to hold the torch to light up!"

The implication was that he vaguely wanted to stay with Gu Tianya, and he didn't know whether it was because he wanted to help, or because he was reluctant to leave like this.

But looking at the way she hesitated to speak, it was clear that she was reluctant to leave. This was the case most of the time.

Li Xiuning was immediately alert, and her beautiful eyes seemed to be shining with lust for dominance.

She looked straight at the little widow and almost said, "You bitch, you want to compete with me for the end of the world?"

However, she did not say these words. She just relied on her own strength to squeeze the little widow away. While helping Gu Tianya to hold the body of the fourth sister-in-law, she kept waving with her other hand, as if to scare people away: "It's okay.

It’s okay, I can just help him.”

This female war goddess who is the best in the world has learned to be jealous like a little woman

And the young widow seemed unwilling to give up, staying by Gu Tianya's side and refusing to leave.

Suddenly, an older widow stood up and reached out to grab the young widow's clothes. The young widow struggled to get away, but was pulled away by the older widow.

The other widows glanced at Gu Tianya, and finally followed the oldest widow and walked forward.

The older widow deliberately walked very quickly, and after a while she was leading the girls far ahead. It was the young widow who complained softly and said: "Second aunt, Tianya is the man in our village..."

"

"He's not yet an adult, so he can't be considered a man for the time being!" the widow, known as the second aunt, said directly, with the intention of dissuading her from giving up her thoughts.

However, the young widow was still a little reluctant and hesitated: "He is eighteen years old, so he is not young anymore. All the men in our village have died, but he is the only one left in the whole village..."

"

She paused while speaking, and her tone suddenly became a little sad. She said to the older widow: "Second Aunt, I know what you mean. It's just that you don't want me to bring disaster to the world, so as not to burden him with a heavy burden."

It’s a burden, but Second Aunt, my child is too young. If I can’t find a father for the child, I, a widow, won’t be able to support the child.”

The second aunt became silent.

The other widows were obviously in a bad mood.

They are all the same as this young widow. They are Gu Tianya's sisters-in-law according to their seniority. The harder a woman's life is, the more she longs for a strong chest to lean on. Gu Tianya is the only man in the village. In the eyes of these widows, he

It is the strongest chest.

The second aunt seemed to want to persuade everyone again, but at the moment she didn't know how to do so. She had been a widow for many years, so she didn't know how miserable these women lived.

She walked in front holding a torch in her hand, and her face was full of bitterness under the light of the fire.

After a long time passed, she sighed softly, as if pointing out something: "When I was young, I felt that I couldn't bear it. The man in the family died, leaving me alone as a weak woman. It was cold.

At that time, I was huddled in the straw mat guarding my child. Even though my body was covered with countless thatches, I couldn't get any warmth out of my body..."

Several young widows said quickly: "We are too, we are too, it's too cold, no matter how much thatch is covered on the body, it won't be of any use."

The second aunt glanced at them, sighed and said: "At that time, I was thinking about how happy it would be to have a man lying next to me. That man would hug me, and that man would hug me.

He would hug me, and the heat from his body would be like a burning fire pit, which could drive away all the cold wind blowing in through the cracks in the door. It was warm and comfortable."

Several little widows began to look forward to it, their eyes watery as they fantasized about something.

The youngest among them, the little widow, even blushed, and said, "I often think about it, thinking that Tianya will take me over to live with him. During the day, I will work with him, and at night, he will watch over me through the night."

, when my child falls asleep, Tianya will pull me secretly to the bed..."

As for what to do at the bedside, these married women naturally know very well.

The widows suddenly felt a little weak in their legs, and their cheeks turned red unconsciously.

The youngest widow's face was already flushed, and her cheeks were as hot as if she had a fever. Her throat rolled slightly, and she clearly swallowed with a gulp.

Only the second aunt seemed angry and scolded: "What do you want to do? He is still a child. Seven or eight women are like wolves and tigers. Tianya's body cannot bear it."

The little widow quickly said: "I will work hard to earn money. Occasionally I can buy him some delicious food and make up for it. That's okay."

"Is there any meat?"

The second aunt asked suddenly, with an angry tone: "You are a little girl, how can you earn money to buy meat for him? If a man doesn't eat meat, how can he survive doing that every day?"

The little widow was stunned for a moment, the circles under her eyes were a little sore.

At this time, the second aunt sighed again, as if to persuade: "Oh, don't think about it. This is our fate, just live it out in this life. I know what you are planning, but you have to think about whether it is right or not.

Tianya..."

She paused as she spoke, looked back quietly, and hinted to the girls: "You all heard it just now, that noble woman has an extraordinary background. We are all women, and we can all guess her thoughts.

For a noble woman to fall in love with Tianya, this is a rare opportunity for Tianya... You, you sisters-in-laws, can you really bear to let Tianya suffer poverty for the rest of his life?"

The women fell silent.

The second aunt glanced at them and finally said: "Please stop thinking about it, we all deserve to suffer in this life!"

The women were still silent, and it seemed they were still reluctant to give up.

The second aunt seemed to be getting angry, and suddenly scolded: "We are women living in the mud, how can we compete with that noble man for a man? I put my words here tonight, and no one is allowed to fight again in the future.

It’s Tianya’s idea. If anyone breaks the rules, don’t blame me for going to the blind man to complain. When the time comes, the village rules will be implemented and your children will be kicked out.”

This is a very serious warning.

In ancient villages, most clans were autonomous. When there was a clan elder, one listened to the clan elder. When there was no clan elder, one listened to the elders. Although the second aunt was a woman, she was higher than everyone else. Once she issued a serious warning,

This is equivalent to setting a new rule for the village.

This new rule means that little widows are no longer allowed to yearn for the end of the world.

Several young widows were obviously deeply saddened, and the circles around their eyes were already red. They suddenly started sobbing and crying in a very sad and miserable way.

The second aunt persisted and scolded in a low voice: "Shut up, don't cry."

However, women are made of water, how can they bear it when they are sad?

Second Aunt's heart was softened by the crying of the girls, and she suddenly sighed bitterly. She glanced at the girls helplessly, hesitated and lowered her voice and said: "Forget it, forget it. If Second Aunt doesn't force you to death, you can do it for a month."

Allow me just once, that’s all, don’t cry anymore.”

These words immediately made the little widows look up in surprise.

But I saw the second aunt's face was serious, and she said again: "But the ugly words are ahead. You are only allowed to steal food and are not allowed to come out. Moreover, you have to wait until Tianya gets older and becomes stronger. Also,

No matter who of you wants to steal food, you must first talk to Tianya's mother, and only after getting permission can you find an opportunity to talk to him... Do you remember this? Wipe your tears first."

The little widows quickly wiped away their tears, and they all appeared extremely obedient. The youngest among them kept looking back, as if she was afraid that Gu Tianya would be stolen away by the noble girl.

The lives of women in this era are so pitiful, especially the generation in Hebei Province. This is the case in almost every village.

Gujia Village is pretty good, at least it still has a single seedling in Gu Tianya. Some villages are full of orphans and widows, and they need to borrow men from other villages.

…

But after the second aunt set the rules, the little widows finally stopped crying and making trouble. The girls followed the second aunt and walked in front. Although they walked very slowly, they finally arrived at the entrance of the village.

They stood there and waited for about a cup of tea, and Gu Tianya also walked to the entrance of the village carrying the body of his fourth sister-in-law.

The night was dark at this time, but the torches were brightly lit in the village. The female war goddess had been following Gu Tianya, her eyes always shining with vigilance.

She was about to find an excuse to let the women go home separately when she suddenly heard the sound of armors clashing in the village. The female war goddess suddenly remembered her business and quickly lowered her voice and said to Gu Tianya: "You must remember to show yourself more later."

.”

Gu Tianya was slightly startled and took her reminder to heart.

At this moment, someone from the village came to greet them, and they saw a group of soldiers holding torches high, and the leader was surprisingly a general riding a war horse.

This man was well-armored, and his face looked quite majestic. He took a careful look at Gu Tianya while riding on his horse, and suddenly asked, "Are you the only male in Gujia Village?"

Gu Tianya stood there with his fourth sister-in-law on his back, nodded and agreed, "Yes!"

"Okay!" Seeing that the general on horseback also nodded, he suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at a man next to the war horse, and said in a deep voice: "You two will get to know each other, and we will become colleagues in the future."
