Chapter 344: The Constant Conspiracy
However, the atmosphere was harmonious, and the people who participated in the fragrant banquet were eating pastries and tasting tea, so relaxed, as if there was nothing wrong with them in their eyes.
Sun Xinhong also glanced at her: "This is called high ideological awareness, it is a pure appreciation of works of art, which is like some people, who are still so superstitious in what age." ”
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Feng Jing was a little helpless: "Don't make trouble, it's someone's wedding, let's listen to the show." ”
No matter who was willing to listen to her words, everyone refocused their attention on the stage.
"Peacock Flying Southeast" changed the repertoire after the performance, they didn't know much about this new play, they only listened to the crying on stage, which was obviously another tragedy.
I don't know if this poignant singing voice moved the heavens, just after eleven o'clock there was a light rain over the village.
However, this did not affect the interest of the villagers present to listen to the play, and after a few minutes, the rain suddenly became heavier, almost becoming a torrential rain, and for a while, lightning and thunder roared, and the wind was raging, as if a storm was coming.
The people listening to the play finally couldn't sit still, and said goodbye to the host's house one after another, and after a while, the whole square was empty, only the crying on the stage continued.
They were impatient to hear it, and they were about to take the opportunity to slip away, but Qiu Xia looked at Su Luo and was the first to speak: "Anyway, you are here to collect wind in the village, why don't you also experience the marriage with us?"
Hearing him say this, the farewell in the hearts of several people had to swallow back, after all, they were indeed here to collect wind, if they refused, it would seem that they were not as interested in Nanyin Village as they said, and it would arouse the suspicion of the other party.
What's more, looking at the hostility of those villagers towards them, the reason why they were able to stay in Nanyin Village was thanks to the Qiu family brothers, who were the head snakes, if they didn't even give him face, then their activities tomorrow would probably be difficult to move an inch.
Su Luo glanced at Feng Jing, Feng Jing also exchanged glances with the others, and finally she smiled and said: "No matter how good it is, I'm afraid of causing trouble to you......"
"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, they will never dare to say anything!"
Qiu Xia smiled happily and finally looked away from Su Luo, "As for the owner of today's wedding...... Hehe, whether it is this marriage or this incense banquet, it all depends on our Qiu family, so we naturally have to act according to our eyes. ”
Speaking of this, they couldn't refuse anymore, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier, so they had to follow him into the ancestral hall first.
Before this, the two in-laws had already helped each other to go in to hide from the rain, and with them were Qi Sigong, Mr. Zhang, Xue Lao Lame, and Qiu Xia's two brothers.
It seems that the three respected old men and their parents must be present for this marriage.
However, Bai Xiu was still a little strange in his heart, the most important ceremony of this kind of ancient wedding was to worship heaven and earth and enter the cave room, even if it was to be carried out in the ancestral hall according to the customs and habits of Nanyin Village, these should not be the only ones.
In the midst of his thoughts, he secretly thought that it was really the same as he guessed.
As soon as he entered the ancestral hall, Bai Xiu habitually looked at the layout inside, this ancestral hall only has a large room with high roof beams, but it is divided into three steps.
The first step is against the door, full of boxes and baskets, all kinds of food, such as goose cages for relatives, dragon and phoenix cakes, and other food, as well as a set of clothes, dustpan jewelry, really dazzling, countless.
Suddenly, his eyes froze, and he couldn't help but look at the clothes and jewelry a few more times, and he was already sure in his heart, but when he saw that the others were watching with great interest, he didn't squeak.
The ground of the second order is half a meter higher than the first level, and there are two pots of charcoal fire and several benches on it, and the low table set up next to the charcoal basin is full of snacks and tea.
Looking at its neat arrangement, I think it was prepared in advance, and it will not be panicked because of this sudden heavy rain.
Bai Xiu cast his gaze into the depths of the ancestral hall, the third order was more than a meter higher than the second order, and the space above seemed a little cramped.
There was a curtain of red and yellow silk hanging between it and the second order, which was so obscured that he couldn't see what was going on inside, and there was no light behind the curtain, let alone a sound, and there was a dead silence.
Now Su Luo's expression is also a little more weird, how can the wedding be without the groom and bride, the two are not outside, then there is only one place to stay, but what does it mean for these two newlyweds to be silent inside?
Seeing a few people coming in, the faces of the couple who had not looked right became more and more gloomy, but as Qiu Xia said, they quickly lowered their heads and did not say anything.
Xue Lao squinted his eyes and swept them one by one, and when his gaze turned to Bai Xiu and Qu Lian, he suddenly paused.
As for Mr. Zhang and Qi Sigong, they both glanced at each other and then turned around to talk to the others.
However, Qiu Xia's parents were very enthusiastic, they greeted and handed refreshments, and made eye contact with Qiu Xia from time to time.
The eyes of the two never left Su Luo, and everyone present could see that they obviously mistook Qiu Xia's relationship with her.
Su Luo didn't understand it at all, but Feng Jing's eyes showed a little worry.
Everyone tried their best to find a place to sit down, and Qiu's parents took the opportunity to ask about Su Luo's situation.
This was a completely different attitude towards other people, and finally made Su Luo realize that something was wrong, and her expression suddenly became a little unnatural.
She is a person who can't hide her temper, Feng Jing doesn't know this, and she is afraid that she will annoy the Qiu family by being open-mouthed, and she will suffer in the end.
Before Su Luo got angry, she opened her mouth first: "I just drank some wine, a little up, I'll go to the door to breathe...... Arrow, come and stay with me. ”
She said so, Su Luo had no choice but to nod, and the two walked out of the ancestral hall hand in hand, sitting on the threshold and chatting.
Qiu Xia's parents motioned to Qiu Xia again and again, he was also an ignorant person, and he really stood up and walked towards them.
"Knock-" At that moment, a loud and small sound suddenly came from behind the curtain.
"Boom-"
Immediately after that, there was another sound, as if someone was knocking on the wooden wall behind the ancestral hall, but this seemingly strange sound made Sun Xinhong and them breathe a sigh of relief, and the weird feeling before finally dissipated - there was indeed someone inside.
However, except for them, the other people's expressions changed suddenly, they all looked at Mr. Zhang and Xue Lao Limp, and even Qiu Xia turned his head and stared at the curtain deadly, as if he couldn't take a step out of his feet.
There was silence all around, and no one spoke as if they had made an appointment, and the soft sound of "knock" and "knock" sounded again as expected.
The sound rang five or six times in a row, and the dull sound shook the whole house.
His eldest brother was taller than him, but he was far less courageous than him, staring at that side as he slowly retreated.
At that moment, a loud bang exploded behind the curtain, as if something had been tossed to the ground.
Qiu Shangah screamed, and ran to the door with his hands and feet, but his body had lost strength, and he tripped and fell to the ground, causing his nose to bleed, and he almost fainted.
"Breath!" their father, Boss Qiu, was not afraid of heaven and earth, and immediately took a sip of his son, intending to climb up to check it out.
Xue Lao lame hurriedly stopped him, and a pair of tricks stared at him motionlessly, obviously like a great enemy.
The rest of the people trembled, they didn't dare to come out of the atmosphere, and in this boundless silence, the third order made another "bang".
It was different from the previous two "", lighter and slower, as if someone had slowly jumped from the innermost part of the ancestral hall with their feet in front of them.
Although Sun Xinhong didn't know why, inexplicably a fear suddenly rose in their hearts, and they couldn't take their eyes off the curtain for a moment.
The footsteps behind seemed to be in no hurry, but the ancestral hall was so big that it didn't take long for its owner to cling to the curtain to reveal the figure of a woman, as if the other party was also looking out through the gap between the red and yellow silk.
"Xue, Brother Xue......" At this time, even the most daring Boss Qiu couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
He was about to speak, but the other couple fell to their knees with a thud, kowtowed, and said in a panic: "Miss Zhou, it wasn't us who hurt you, please raise your noble hand and spare our lives......"
Regardless of the fear in his heart, Boss Qiu kicked the two to the ground: "You two are in a hurry, Hugh has to talk nonsense here!"
The man in the husband and wife didn't dare to speak, and his wife cried hysterically: "What did our old Ni family do, Xia Xia is gone, and it was hard to tell him a family affair, and he encountered this kind of thing again......
You only said that you would find a foreign daughter-in-law for our Xia Xia, but you didn't expect that she was deceived by you and killed......
You also said that if you leave her bones for three years, she will be fine, but now her ghost is still back for revenge, this is the retribution you deserve, don't bother our old Ni!"
Her words made everyone's expressions change, and Boss Qiu was about to make a move when he heard it, but was stopped by Xue Lao Lame, who squinted his eyes and spoke:
"Don't talk about these things now, this woman is wearing a red-clothed corpse and has become a 'fierce yin corpse', just now Qiu Shang fell and let her see blood, and now she is afraid that she will kill the entire Nanyin Village before she is willing to give up!"
"How can this be...... Sigong is also knowledgeable, and he can't help but show doubts, "There are more people like her who have lost their lives in my village, why is it only her corpse that has changed?"
He rolled his eyes, glanced at Bai Xiu and them a few times very unkindly, and suddenly said, "It seems that you have brought bad luck to Nanyin Village. ”
His voice was not loud, but the others could hear it clearly, including Su Luo and Feng Jing, who sensed the movement and rushed back.
The former swept his gaze over the people of Nanyin Village in disbelief: "You, you really killed her? No, it's not 'her', it's 'them'!"
Seeing that the eyes of several people suddenly sharpened, Feng Jing hurriedly pulled La Suluo, she was a little scared in her heart, if this matter was not handled properly, they were afraid that they would not end up with the bride, and they would never be able to provoke each other again.
The rest of the Wanli expedition team didn't know this, and they also glared at Su Luo again and again.
Not to mention them, even Bai Xiu couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, because he saw the undisguised killing intent in the eyes of the fourth prince, and even more because of the unspoken meaning of these words.
This is indeed a "yin marriage" - a conspiracy that treats other people's lives as a mustard.
And it's been playing out in this village all along.
