Becoming the Villain's Discarded Wife
Chapter 547: Gu Lang Sequel

Chapter 547: Gu Lang Sequel

I had fallen for a girl.

I intended to return to my hometown and earn more silver to marry her.

But when I came back, her baby was already giggling at me.

I grew up depending on my sister, our uncle felt sorry for us and allowed us to shepherd his sheep.

Those shepherding days passed quickly, I enjoyed sleeping under the open sky, watching the sheep roaming freely. They seemed happy, yet none of them were mine.

My sister grew up, but I didn’t have enough silver to trade for a taller horse for her, only two sheep.

The dowry for my sister was too meagre, I didn’t want her to suffer after she got married.

A fellow villager told me, I could become a trader.

I could take our local products and head south, our products could fetch a good price in Central Plains.

With the money, I could buy many sheep, and trade a sturdy horse for my sister.

I took my silver to purchase several goods, then bought two not-so-robust camels.

I bid farewell to my sister, uncle, and aunt, and left my hometown alone with the camels.

The journey wasn’t too hard, but it was only when I ran out of food that I realized, not all Central Plains people are good.

They charged me more silver because I was a foreigner.

I consumed a lot of meat soup noodle and pancakes, I missed the lambs from my hometown.

I met other merchant teams on the way, they told me to go to Yan City in Central Plains to attend the market fair where I could earn a considerable amount of silver.

I kept heading south and eventually reached the legendary Yan City.

I found a small noodle stall.

Their dumplings and meat soup noodles were delicious and cheap.

I could fill my stomach for less than twenty wen per day.

Thereafter, I visited every day for meals, waiting for the market fair to start, then I would return home with the silver, followed by buying lambs for me and my sister.

I met the girl I liked.

She was somewhat fair, her eyes always sparkling.

When she served customers, she always had a curve on her lips, cooking the tastiest noodles.

I was shy to ask her name, but I heard her mother address her as Fatty Girl.

I had never thought she would be interested in the star anise that I carry.

She was smart and shrewd, gave me a beautiful pearl, and bought most of my cargo.

The pearl was beautiful, it could make a lovely necklace for my sister.

After that, I ate noodles at her stall every day, but had fewer chances to meet her.

The market fair eventually opened, and I sold all my goods.

I found out her name.

She was called Lin Nanzhi, a very beautiful name.

I also learned that she had someone in her heart, a tall and sturdy man.

The merchants I met were leaving, I had no choice but to leave Central Plains. Before leaving, I found her one last time.

I gave her the wolf tooth, thinking that if she’s still single by the time I returned to Yan City, I would marry her and take her home.

I followed the traders in Central Plains to buy goods, and brought them back to my hometown.

My sister got ten sheep as her dowry, and a tall, handsome horse.

She wore the beautiful pearl necklace, put on beautiful clothes, and married the man she loved.

I wanted to ask my brother-in-law to become a travelling trader with me, but I couldn’t say those words for my sister’s sake.

Never mind, I hope they can live a good life together.

Me and some villagers who wanted to make money decided to leave again, this time we took more than a hundred sheep.

With the experience from our first journey, I now knew how to find the real shortcuts.

However, for some reason, Central Plains had completely changed.

Their lands started releasing a foul smell, trees and grass were gradually withering.

It should have been the best time of the year in spring, yet Central Plains seemed to be stuck in winter.

The villagers who came with me wanted to go back, but we had already spent too much time and energy on the way.

I bought their sheep, merchandise, and two wagons.

When we were almost reaching Yan City, I saved a little boy.

He was washed up by the water in front of me, my camel made a sound and pulled him out of the river.

I seemed to have seen him at Lin Nanzhi’s noodle stall.

He said that something had happened in Yan City, they ran out of food.

I brought him along, driving the sheep towards Yan City.

The journey was not smooth.

There was no feed, and my sheep fell sick.

We also ran into government soldiers who were fighting with bandits.

Xiaoqi said the surrounded one was a good man, we drugged the bandits and moved the wounded soldiers to a different location.

In those five days, I lost ten more sheep.

We finally neared Yan City, I was unsure about how I felt.

A forest fire blazed in front of us, but then suddenly the rain extinguished it.

When I arrived in Yan City, I saw the girl I liked again.

However, she was already married, and her tiny baby giggled at me.

She returned the wolf tooth I gave her, I felt a bit sad.

She had lost a lot of weight.

However, looking at my sheep, they finally had a purpose.

They could help improve the life of the girl I liked.
