"Go ahead and find someone else! That's what you said! You think no one wants me? I'll use the grain from your fields to feed another man! When you come back, I'll make you regret it to your very core!"
Her crying, along with her footsteps, gradually faded into the distance. Scholar Lv heaved a deep sigh and continued pulling the cart forward.
Looking at the lush green forest around him, Scholar Lv thought for a moment, then began to sing the opera his father had taught him. "As we journey~~ amid the autumn splendor! This visit to greet~~ in Zhuanzhu Alley!"
Just as he had sung a few lines, an old man's operatic voice rose from behind him. "A true man~ must achieve deeds that shake the heavens and the earth~!"
