The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

Chapter 581: 581 Jin Xun is starting to like her a bit.

Her appearance was shockingly ugly, yet always managed to attract attention.

He never bothered married women, especially those who had married several men.

That would make him feel dirty.

However, she did not make him feel dirty, instead, she…

Sometimes, he would inexplicably think of her.

“If only she hadn’t gotten married yet, how wonderful that would be.” Jin Xun murmured softly. What a pity…

Ji had been with his master for a long time, and seeing his expression, he couldn’t help but exclaim, “Master, you mustn’t have wild thoughts! She already has three husbands!” His master simply could not take in a loose woman!

“Do I need you to remind me!” Jin Xun snapped, hitting Ji on the head again.

Ji held his head in both hands. “Master, show mercy…”

Su Qingyue wandered aimlessly through the streets, leading her horse. The town wasn’t big, and it didn’t take long to reach the end of the street. Her face, covered in scabs, was eye-catching and often attracted curious stares from passersby.

Seeing a vendor selling silk scarves by the roadside, Su Qingyue, who was not wearing a mask, bought a black silk scarf.

Having finished her business in town, she could head back now.

She did not want to return to the village so soon, and since it was still early and the sun wasn’t too strong, she turned the horse around, mounted it, and left the town, heading in the opposite direction of Wushan Village.

Since coming to ancient times, the farthest place she had visited was this town.

In the past, she either relied on her legs or took a cow’s car to travel.

Now that she had a horse, she could at least go farther without much effort, even just to observe the ancient geography.

She had a thrilling ride along the way, something she hadn’t enjoyed in a long time.

She had been riding for nearly an hour.

She saw a large patch of grass by the roadside, and across it was a river.

She dismounted, intending to let the horse graze and rest for a while.

Tying the horse’s reins to the saddle, she walked onto the grass and looked at the river in front of her.

The river flowed quietly, its sparkling surface disappearing around a bend in the mountains under the sunlight.

The river water was clear, with green grass at the bottom swaying like silk in the water, and several plump swimming fish frolicking in the water.

If it were any other time, she would have made a fish fork to catch fish in the river.

However, she had caught so many fish in the mountain stream by Hanging Neck Mountain recently that she had grown tired of eating fish, so she decided to let the fat fish continue living in the river.

Green mountains, clear water, and a large tree on the river bank swaying its branches in the wind.

The beautiful environment and refreshing air were breathtaking.

Su Qingyue stood by the river, basking in the warm sun.

The horse grazed leisurely a few steps away.

Suddenly, she sensed an unusual murderous aura in the air.

Soon, a sword-wielding middle-aged man appeared not far ahead, followed by six black-clothed men with long swords, chasing and surrounding him.

The middle-aged man was covered in blood, with countless wounds all over his body, and his trembling sword hand made it clear that he was on the verge of defeat and death.

The six men in black were ruthless in their attacks, trying to take the middle-aged man’s life. The middle-aged man fought desperately, gritting his teeth and struggling to the end.

The scene was chaotic and violent.

A hundred meters away, Su Qingyue pretended not to see it, not even bothering to tilt her head, and continued to enjoy the magnificent landscape.

The middle-aged man, with the last of his willpower, managed to kill four of the men in black.

He was slashed in the shoulder again, exhausted and poisoned for quite some time. As the two killers aimed to take his life, it seemed that his fate was sealed today.
