Chapter 201: A Sudden Wedding
The time when Zhong Lin returned to the Phoenix Clan from his hour space was about five o'clock in the morning. Because the place where he entered the empty space was the cave he found yesterday, the place where he came back was also the cave. However, just as he was about to settle down and rest for a while, he seemed to hear someone shouting his name, and more than one person's voice.
One of the voices was getting closer and clearer, and the owner of the voice was supposed to be walking in the direction of the cave......
"Bell Grove Brothers......"
"Brother Zhong Lin, where are you?"
"Pan Jie?"
Zhong Lin heard that it was Pan Jie's voice, so he hurriedly stood up and walked towards the outside of the cave.
"Brother Jie, I'm here!"
"Brother Zhong Lin, why are you here? I came here once just now, and I obviously didn't see you......"
While speaking, Pan Jie had already trotted all the way to the cave. After walking out of the cave, Zhong Lin found that the entire Phoenix Clan was full of lanterns and torches, illuminating the entire Phoenix Clan as if it were day.
Seeing this scene, Zhong Lin's brows immediately furrowed, and he asked, "Brother Jie, has something happened in the clan?"
Zhong Lin expected that the patriarch's mother-in-law should be in good health after drinking the peach blossom brew containing the source power of water, and what he was most worried about at the moment was what would happen to the unicorn wolf, although they had a certain spirituality, but after all, they were just spirit beasts, in case of conflict with humans, it would be terrible.
"What's going on? Great! We've been looking for you for the middle of the night. No, I thought you had run away from marriage!" Pan Jie wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile.
"Running away from marriage, what kind of marriage, who is going to get married?"
Zhong Lin was confused, and he didn't understand what Pan Jie was talking about at all.
"Who's married?!you!You don't pretend to be ...... with me?"
Pan Jie looked at Zhong Lin and laughed "hey, hey, hey".
"Don't be kidding, who am I marrying? Why don't I know!" Zhong Lin looked at Pan Jie with a stunned face.
"Ah, you really don't know?! Your wedding to the young patriarch was still hand-picked by the patriarch's mother-in-law. You must know that the patriarch's mother-in-law never attended other people's weddings before. You kid is really capable, so easy to get the young patriarch's heart, you must know that I chased Xiaolan for several years! However, you have to be more careful, there are not a few people in our clan who like the young patriarch, they may give you some problems, you have to be prepared in advance. β
Seeing that Zhong Lin's eyebrows had been twisted into a rope, Pan Jie thought that he was afraid that the "rivals in love" in the clan would embarrass him, so he continued: "But you don't have to worry too much, everyone will give you problems, just take a 'good thing to grind' color, the more problems there are, the happier you and An Yi's future life will be." Do you want me to teach you some experience first?"
Zhong Lin had a bitter face and thought to himself, "What is this? Why was the wedding arranged as soon as I came back? Has anyone asked me how I feel?"
"Panjie, where is the patriarch's mother-in-law? I'm going to see her. β
Fortunately, Zhong Lin's mind is still relatively clear, since it is the wedding designated by the patriarch's mother-in-law, then as long as the patriarch's mother-in-law is found, everything will be clear.
"It was in the square just now, where the statue of the Phoenix God was, and she should have gone back to her residence by now...... Hey, Brother Zhonglin, you wait for me!"
Before Pan Jie could finish speaking, Zhong Lin had already run away without a trace. Only Pan Jie was left behind and muttered to himself: "This kid, why did he run so fast, is he in a hurry to get married?
How did Pan Jie know that Zhong Lin had just become boyfriend and girlfriend with Luo Xiaoman, and he had already agreed with the people outside that he would definitely go out within three days. After all, I should have gone back by this evening. Now that a wedding has suddenly appeared, how can Zhong Lin not be in a hurry!
After a while, Zhong Lin came to the residence of the patriarch's mother-in-law. At this moment, there are many people in front of the door of the patriarch's mother-in-law, who are busy preparing the items needed for the wedding.
"Congratulations, young man!"
"Yes, congratulations, it's really your blessing to be able to marry our young patriarch. β
"Auntie, it's not right for you to say that. You see how capable this young man is, such a fierce one-horned wolf has been subdued by him, how can there be such a wonderful young man in our tribe! Congratulations, young man! I wish you and the young patriarch an early birth to a noble son......
"Yes, give birth to a noble son early, give birth to a noble son early......"
In the crowd, you said a word, and I said a word, and they all said hello to Zhong Lin. Zhong Lin could only return the salute one by one, but he didn't speak, but walked directly to the patriarch's mother-in-law's house.
"Mother-in-law, I don't think this is appropriate, I should find Zhong Lin and ask his opinion!"
"Why is it not suitable, don't you like him? Men should marry, women should marry, you two are a match made in heaven, it couldn't be more suitable. Little Luo's father, you go outside to see if Zhong Lin has found ......"
Before he entered the door, Zhong Lin heard the sound of An Yi talking to the patriarch's mother-in-law in the room. When he walked to the door, Xiao Luo's father happened to walk out from the inside, and the two of them almost collided.
"He's back, he's back, patriarch's mother-in-law, Zhong Lin he's back!"
Xiao Luo's father shouted excitedly, and the smile on his face was bright, as if it was not Zhong Lin who was going to get married today but him.
"Okay, now that Zhong Lin has returned, then there is a saying that 'a good meal is not afraid of being late, and a good marriage is not too late', and the wedding will start immediately!"
I don't know if it's related to drinking Zhonglin's special peach blossom brew, the patriarch's mother-in-law is very spiritual today, and she is full of confidence when she speaks, where is she still like an old man who is already one hundred and twenty-eight years old.
"Wait, Granny Patriarch, I think there may be a misunderstanding here, I already have a girlfriend. β
Zhong Lin stepped forward and said hurriedly.
"What's a girlfriend?
The patriarch's mother-in-law was also stunned, and then asked.
"A girlfriend is a very good female friend, the kind of ...... that the two of us are going to get married in the future"
Zhong Lin explained to the patriarch's mother-in-law as much as he could.
"Oh, I see, 'girlfriend', 'girlfriend', is a female friend, which means you're still friends, and you're not married, she's not your wife yet, right?"
The patriarch's mother-in-law had a smile on her face, in fact, she had also asked An Yi about Zhong Lin's family affairs before. Knowing that he had no parents since he was a child, grew up with his grandfather, had no other relatives, and most importantly, was not married, she made a bold decision.
"Yes and no, the 'girlfriend' I am talking about is not an ordinary female friend, simply put, it is equivalent to a fiancΓ©e. We're definitely going to get married in the future, so, I'm ...... I can't marry the young patriarch. β
Zhong Lin was very serious, and his words were very dead, leaving no room for anything.
"In that case, little Luo's father, you go and ask the clan rules out. β
The patriarch's mother-in-law's face sank suddenly.
"Lan Ying, you can't do this, An Yi is ......"
Grandpa Zhisuo on the side was just about to stop him, but suddenly saw the patriarch's mother-in-law glaring at him fiercely, and he was so frightened that he quickly swallowed back what he had said in half. If it had been placed in the past, Grandpa Zhisu would definitely argue with the patriarch's mother-in-law as He An Yi said before. However, at this time, he was self-aware, and the matter between him and the patriarch's mother-in-law had only just had a little bit of eyebrows, and if he quarreled over this matter, he really didn't know how many more years he would have to wait! Besides, how many more years would he have to live! I can't go into the coffin with a lifetime of regret.
"Little Luo's father, didn't you hear what I just said?"
The patriarch's mother-in-law saw that Xiao Luo's father was still stunned and did not move, and said a little angrily.
In fact, the clan rules are engraved on a wooden plaque, and that wooden plaque has been placed on several cases in front of the patriarch's mother-in-law's window for a long time.
Xiao Luo's father saw that the patriarch's mother-in-law was already angry, and he didn't dare to delay any longer, so he hurriedly took the wooden plaque and came to the patriarch's mother-in-law with both hands.
"Read!"
The patriarch's mother-in-law said with a straight face.
"Okay, good ......" Xiao Luo's father was afraid that he would not be able to read it, so he read it in a hurry: "Phoenix clan rules: the first one, those who do not honor their parents, fifty rods; the second, those who are treacherous, fifty rods; the third, those who kill people and goods, will be killed with a cane; the fourth, those who rape *** women, they will be killed with a cane; and the fifth: those who bring foreigners into their own clans, they will be punished with fifty rods and driven out of the clans......"
"Okay, it's okay! You read the fifth article of the clan rules you just read again, and make a louder voice, why don't you look like you haven't eaten for half a month!"
"...... Article 5: Whoever brings a foreigner into his tribe shall be driven out of his tribe with fifty rods. Xiao Luo's father peeked at the face of the patriarch's mother-in-law while reading the clan rules, and his hands trembled a little.
At this moment, An Yi trembled all over, but she didn't make any excuses.
"Patriarch's mother-in-law, An Yi brought me in to treat you, the so-called extenuating circumstances, this can't be regarded as his violation of the clan rules. β
Zhong Lin couldn't wait any longer, and expressed his meaning firmly.
"Forgivable circumstances?" said the patriarch's mother-in-law and looked at Xiao Luo's father and said, "Xiao Luo's father, do you see the words 'extenuating circumstances' on the clan rules?"
"This ......"
"What is this, this, I ask you if you have it?" said the patriarch's mother-in-law.
"No, no......" Xiao Luo's father trembled in fright, and the wooden board engraved with the clan rules almost fell to the ground.
"Since the words 'extenuating circumstances' are not written on the clan rules, then it must be done strictly according to what is written in the clan rules......!
When the word "unless" was spoken, the tone of the patriarch's mother-in-law suddenly softened.
"Unless what?"
Looking at people's hearts, obedient and listening, although Grandpa Zhisuo has not spoken, but he has always paid attention to the expression and tone of the patriarch's mother-in-law, and at this moment, he heard the patriarch's mother-in-law's tone suddenly relaxed, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.
"Unless Zhong Lin is not a foreigner, and he will always stay in his clan in the future, then An Yi will not be considered to have brought foreigners into his clan, and it will not be considered a violation of the clan rules!"
The patriarch's mother-in-law's face finally looked better, and her speech was not as blunt as before.
