Traveling through ancient times: daily life on the run

Chapter 417 Reborn as a Pig Killer

Luo Yu slowly opened his eyes.

This time, she should be reborn into a good family, right?

There was a lot of noise outside the door, as if a group of pigs were crowded in a small pigpen fighting for food. They made bursts of sharp squeals from time to time, which was very uncomfortable to listen to.

Luo Yu struggled to stand up with his hands, trying to straighten his clothes when he felt something fat. With a start, he realized he was lying on the cold floor of the room, next to a fallen wooden stool and a broken rope.

Luo Yu hurriedly went to look for the bronze mirror on the dressing table. After searching for a while, he found that the table top was bumpy and there were only a few pieces of torn paper and a box of almost empty rouge and powder. He touched the table top hard and it was still shaking. It turned out that the four legs of the table were not the same length.

I looked around the room again. Apart from the four walls, a bed and a broken table, there was nothing else.

Alas, Luo Yu sighed softly. It seemed she had been reborn into a miserable body. Come to think of it, on such a beautiful day in the first month of the lunar year, who would die at this time of year? She was lucky not to be reborn into the body of a starving beggar.

The noise outside the house was getting louder and louder, as if some people were fighting. Luo Yu weighed the fat on his body and then touched the fat on his face. He must be at least 160 pounds or more. Thinking of this, Luo Yu smiled happily. Even if Zhu Jinyou could really find her now, what would it matter? Could he only love the soul and not the appearance?

Haha, stinky man!

She pushed open the door and wanted to ask these people what they were making so much noise outside, saying that they had woken up even the dead.

There were two groups outside the house: a middle-aged man and woman with chubby faces and big, fat heads who looked like her parents, and a plump, pale kid about ten years old. Could he also be from her family? The other group consisted of skinny and elderly people, and even six or seven of them were no match for these three. Outside the wall, a group of spectators, many large and small, poked their heads out to watch the fun, not feeling the crowd at all.

"Hey, what are you arguing about?"

"Mom, sister, sister is awake!"

The middle-aged woman who was called "mother" by the fat boy took a big step back and yelled: "Ghost, ghost!"

Seeing this, a thin old woman and a man and a woman holding sticks were so scared that they quickly fled outside the earthen wall.

The old woman was very nimble and ran while shouting, "Listen up, you people from the Su family, you have to spit out the betrothal gifts you gave me."

Su Hu spat on the ground, even more fiercely than the old woman who had escaped: "Fuck you! You've already delivered the betrothal gift to your door, and you still want to take it back? Anyway, it's not us who are breaking off the engagement, so we won't return the betrothal gift."

Many people outside were frightened away by the cry of "ghost!", and the rest were chattering and pushing, trying to figure out what kind of ghost it was.

"Mom, my sister is awake. We don't have to pay back the betrothal gift!"

If it weren't for the little fat boy's reminder, Butcher Su and Mrs. Su Hu really couldn't believe that Su Xiaoxiao, who had just hanged herself, was actually alive.

The onlookers were talking about it.

"Her hair is disheveled, her eyes are blurry, and her face is swollen like a big white bun. She must be a ghost."

"Impossible! How can a ghost have a shadow? Look, her feet are on the ground and she's walking."

"Oh, Su Xiaoxiao is such a big, strong girl, how could she be so depressed that she hanged herself? I guess her body was too heavy for the rope to bear, so we saved her life."

"You know shit! I just heard that Su Xiaoxiao was dead. She was hanged all night, and was discovered early in the morning by the matchmaker and the man's family when they came to arrange the engagement and give the betrothal gifts. The rope was cut by his family's old Su."

"It's so scary, no wonder it looks like a ghost."

As Luo Yu listened, he suddenly understood something. The original owner was Su Xiaoxiao. She had hanged herself in the middle of the night in a rage because the man had brought a matchmaker to arrange a marriage? And when everyone discovered her hanging, the man and the matchmaker started a scene, demanding the return of the betrothal gift. It was strange, though, that among the group just now, the matchmaker was the one causing the most trouble. Aside from a few men who looked like servants, it was unclear which of them was the real man.

The man that Su Xiaoxiao would rather commit suicide than marry is definitely not a good person.

Among this group of people, only the fat boy is much braver.

He walked over and touched Su Xiaoxiao's arms and belly, then said to his parents with a smile, "Dad, Mom, my sister is not dead. Her body is warm. You can continue to let her get married."

Luo Yu was stunned and looked at the little fat boy who was half a head shorter than her. This little guy was so fat, ugly and disgusting.

Su Hu came forward in disbelief and touched Luo Yu's body. It was indeed warm, and his fierce face, covered with flesh, instantly smiled.

He hugged Luo Yu tightly, almost making her breathless.

"It's good that you're not dead, it's good that you're not dead."

Butcher Su came over with a cold face, threw the tool in his hand to the ground, and said to Luo Yu, "Put everything in order, and then follow me to kill a pig. You almost killed my whole family."

Mrs. Su Hu patted the scum off Luo Yu's body, and her tone was much better than Su the butcher's.

"Xiaoxiao, you scared me to death today. Don't do anything stupid next time, okay? Just take a good rest today. I'll go with your dad to help later."

Luo Yu was stunned. She just wanted to wash her face and rinse her mouth, and then find a bronze mirror to look at her own horrible appearance.

Su the butcher was a man with a lot of fat on his body and several scars on his face, which made him look very fierce. His only advantage was his high nose bridge. His eyes and mouth were deformed by the fat on his face.

Not to mention Mrs. Hu, her facial features are almost invisible. You can only vaguely notice that she has double eyelids. Her skin is quite white, and she doesn't look like a woman who does hard labor.

Alas, Luo Yu sighed and didn't know what to say except nodding.

After Su Xiaoxiao's parents left, Luo Yu called the fat boy over and asked him, "What's your name?"

The little fat boy exclaimed "Ah" and looked at her as if she were a monster.

Seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, many people outside the wall patted their buttocks and left. The remaining few were brave enough to sneak in and ask what was going on.

One of the boys, two years older than the fat boy, walked in with his hands behind his back. He looked up and down at the resurrected Su Xiaoxiao, then cleared his throat and said in a voice very close to a duck's: "You, Su Xiaoxiao, how come you don't know your brother's name?"

The little fat boy imitated the adults, put his hands on his hips, and said confidently: "Yes, how come you don't know my name? My name is Su Anping."

The skinny boy patted the fat boy on the head and shouted, "Why are you so stupid? Why tell her your name? We need to see if she is really a ghost."

Luo Yu was speechless. He pointed at the fat boy and said, "Su Anping, right? Go and boil some hot water for my sister, and then heat up breakfast and bring it out to me."

"Who are you to order me to work? My parents won't let me work. They say you are a girl and you are the only one who works at home."

When Luo Yu heard this, he was really annoyed. This man was not only poor and fat, but also born into such a broken family that favored boys over girls.

She picked up a stick and beat the little fat boy with it, making him scream and become as fat as a pig without moving.

The skinny boy saw Su Xiaoxiao going crazy and was so scared that he ran away, shouting, "Su Xiaoxiao must be a ghost. She even dared to hit her own brother."

Luo Yu was afraid that the brat would say something nonsense, so he swung a stick hard, landing it right in front of the skinny boy, scaring him so much that his legs couldn't help shaking.

A few naughty boys who were peeking outside the yard saw this and thought, wow, this Su Xiaoxiao must be possessed by a ghost. In the past, she would only lose her temper when scolded and would never dare to resist, but now her temperament has really changed.

"Brother Chong, let's run, Su Xiaoxiao is a ghost."

Luo Yu laughed wickedly and shouted, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll go to each of your homes in the middle of the night and have a chat with you."

When the little fat boy heard this, he quickly ran to the kitchen to boil water for his sister.
