Xiao Lin did not hide it, and automatically began to explain: "The merman's combat power is amazing, it can last for a long time, and it will take at least more than two hours to listen to other sisters, like we receive more than one guest every day, so after two or three hours, I am tired and half dead." ”
Shu Kui was shocked when he heard it, and he was secretly speechless.
Kobayashi continued: "This essential oil has been passed down from generation to generation in our industry, who invented it doesn't know, anyway, the effect is quite good, and it can greatly shorten the time to do things." ”
Shu Kui lowered his head, very embarrassed.
"Remember, massage the whole body." Xiao Lin picked up the tools scattered on the dressing table, "If you don't know how to massage, you can just wipe it on it." ”
With such an explicit command, Shu Kui was really powerless to bear it, so he couldn't help but bury his head lower, so ashamed that his ears were red.
Xiao Lin took his things and left, and after a while, Ao Lingyang flashed into the room.
He wears a well-fitting black suit and bow tie, which is very different from the usual T-shirt and jeans, and looks especially spirited and handsome.
Seeing him, Shu Kui was a little surprised, and hurriedly pinched the small bottle in his hand and hid it behind him without a trace.
"Aunt Liu said that the bride and groom can't meet before the wedding, which is unlucky, but I just want to come and see you." Ao Lingyang stared straight into Shu Kui's eyes.
Shu Kui was dizzy to look at, and covered the chest of the bandeau wedding dress quite unnaturally: "Is it good-looking?" ”
Ao Lingyang didn't answer, and walked closer step by step, hooked her chin, and kissed her deeply.
"Hey, you two!" Just when it was inseparable, Aunt Liu came down like a god, "Groom official, go back to the room quickly." ”
Ao Lingyang reluctantly let go of Shu Kui: "Aunt Liu, you haven't let us meet since yesterday, I miss her very much." ”
"What's the hurry, go back quickly." Aunt Liu came over and made a gesture to drive out, "The day before the wedding until the wedding, the bride and groom can't meet, go and go, and see her days in the future." ”
Ao Lingyang was dragged away, Shu Kui put the medicine bottle given by Xiao Lin into a fang ring, thinking of the upcoming wedding night, his cheeks were hot again.
Soon, it was dark, and small lights lit up on the white arches in the garden.
The time for the ceremony to begin is approaching.
Shu Kui became nervous inexplicably, lifted her skirt and walked out of the house, standing in front of the gate, decorated with pink roses by the road guide column, and kept taking a deep breath.
Kobayashi brought the bouquet and raised his chin towards the arch.
Shu Kui took another deep breath, slowly exhaled, calmed down, and walked towards the arch.
She walked very slowly, firstly because she was not used to wearing high heels, and secondly, she was really quite uneasy.
However, no matter how slow it was, the distance was not long, and in a few minutes, she would be at her destination.
Then, Huang Xiao, who was standing directly under the arch, said something, Shu Kui didn't hear it clearly at all, her ears were full of her own pounding heartbeat, and she faintly began to question whether she should be here and marry Ao Lingyang.
"Would you like it, bride?" Suddenly, Huang Xiao's voice brought Shu Kui back to his senses.
"I ......," she looked at Ao Lingyang, who was full of anticipation beside her, "I do." ”
"Do you really want to?" I don't know who, I asked faintly.
When Shu Kui heard this voice, he stood on the spot, his mind blank.
All eyes turned to the questioner.
"I don't know if His Majesty Jiuchuan is here, and I will miss it." One moment ago, Huang Xiao was still the master of ceremonies presiding over the Western-style wedding, and the next second, he became the housekeeper here.
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect to have a wedding, so I dressed casually." The person who came was Ling Jiuchuan, dressed in sports attire, which was incompatible with the atmosphere of the scene.
"Since Your Majesty is here, please take a seat and have a drink at the happy bar." Huang Xiao was very polite.
"Don't drink it." Ling Jiuchuan was very polite, and he didn't shy away from saying, "I'm here to rob the bride." ”
"Your Majesty, Shu Kui won't go with you." Ao Lingyang spoke.
Ling Jiuchuan frowned: "Didn't you hear clearly?" I'm here to rob it, it doesn't matter if she wants it or not. ”
Before the words fell, his body moved, and he came to Shu Kui's side in the blink of an eye.
Of course, Ao Lingyang wouldn't let him touch Shu Kui, and reached out to pull Shu Kui behind him.
Ling Jiuchuan immediately turned his palm into a knife and slashed it fiercely.
How dare Ao Lingyang take it hard, he was busy withdrawing his hand, and at the same time instinctively retreated.
"Thank you very much." Ling Jiuchuan said sarcastically, grabbed Shu Kui and left.
"Jiuchuan Majesty, he let you, I can't let you." Huang Xiao blocked the way.
"What, you also want to ask her to be a wife?" Ling Jiuchuan raised his eyebrows and said.
"I'm the housekeeper here, and Miss Shu Kui is a guest here, if Her Majesty takes her away, and the host asks, I can't explain." Huang Xiao's attitude is neither humble nor arrogant.
Ling Jiuchuan looked at him: "Invite your master out, and we will have a good talk." ”
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, but the master hasn't been here lately." Huang Xiao bowed slightly to apologize.
"Then you can't blame me." Ling Jiuchuan chuckled, "Shu Kui is from my Ling family, I want to bring her back now and let her know, it is a sign of respect for you, not to say it, there is nothing wrong with it." ”
After finishing speaking, he bypassed Huang Xiao and continued to walk out.
Huang Xiao definitely wouldn't let the two of them go like this, so he immediately said that he was offended, pushed forward with his palms of both hands, urged a big stone, and fell in front of them with a bang.
Ling Jiuchuan had a cold face, his feet were non-stop, and his hand knife slashed into the void, cutting the boulder in two, just vacating a passage.
But who knows, just as they passed through this passage, the boulder shattered into powder and turned into yellow sand, wrapping the two of them in it.
The wind was blowing, whirring.
Shu Kui only felt that he was in the desert in an instant, and he didn't pay attention, inhaled a mouthful of sand, and kept coughing.
Ling Jiuchuan turned his back to the direction where the wind was blowing, pulled Shu Kui to his chest, and relaxed the strength of his hand a little.
With him in the way, the wind was much lighter, and Shu Kui was able to spit out the sand in his mouth and stop coughing.
"Where are we? Now what? Shu Kui was very flustered.
"We're in that man's barrier." Ling Jiuchuan looked into the distance, "Do you know what his origin is?" ”
"I only know that his name is Huang Xiao." Shu Kui was a little cold and hugged his arms.
Ling Jiuchuan looked at her: "What do you mean by this dress?" ”
"Wedding dress, of course you wear a wedding dress when you get married." Shu Kui didn't think there was anything wrong.
"Does it need to be so exposed?" Ling Jiuchuan obviously didn't like the style of this wedding dress.
Shu Kui covered his chest: "What's your business." Besides, I didn't choose it, Huang Xiao only brought one, and he didn't have to pick one. ”
Ling Jiuchuan didn't say anything anymore, took off his coat, helped Shu Kui put it on, and pulled the zipper.
"What are we going to do?" Shu Kui asked again.
"Let's go, let's see if we can find a flaw." Ling Jiuchuan pointed to his feet, "If you don't move, it won't be long before you will be buried alive." ”
Shu Kui lowered his head and found that the yellow sand was no longer above his ankles.
She hurriedly lifted her foot and kicked off her heels.
Ling Jiuchuan clasped her hand, looked around, and began to move in a certain direction.
The yellow sand is like the sea, there is no boundary, as far as the eye can see, there are only continuous sand dunes, except for the sound of the wind, there is nothing else, the sand and gravel continue to hit the face, poured into the neck, making people hurt and itch.
I don't know how long I walked so deep and shallow, Ling Jiuchuan suddenly stopped.
"Did you find a flaw?" Hope rose in Shu Kui's heart.
"There's something there, and I can't see what it is." Ling Jiuchuan squinted.
Shu Kui looked into the distance and saw a dark shadow on the horizon, looming in the wind and sand.
"Let's go check it out." Shu Kui thought, is it a blessing or a curse, it is a disaster that cannot be avoided.
Ling Jiuchuan also had similar thoughts, and he had already begun to act.
The two of them walked for a long time, and came to the dark shadow.
It is a huge column, surrounded by stairs, and it looks like it is made of gravel, as if it would collapse at the slightest touch.
Ling Jiuchuan asked Shu Kui to stay where he was, and stepped forward to investigate.
The wind was getting stronger and stronger, sending a few grains of sand into Shu Kui's eyes, she couldn't open her eyes in pain, and she didn't dare to rub them, and it took a while before she regained her eyesight under the wash of tears.
When he looked at it again, Ling Jiuchuan was actually gone.
Shu Kui panicked, raised his eyes to look around, and shouted loudly.
However, in the wind and sand, such a move is not a wise move, so he shouted only one or two times, and Shu Kui was full of yellow sand and coughed violently.
The column stands there, like the Dinghai Divine Needle in the East China Sea, and also like the Tower of Babel leading to heaven, which seems to beckon, allowing people to go up the stairs and find out.
Shu Kui's heart moved, and he also wanted to see if Ling Jiuchuan would be on it, so he put one hand on his forehead, hunched over, and walked over with difficulty.
As soon as I stepped on the stairs, the wind stopped, and the eyes were shining, like daylight, like lights, with some warm breath.
Shu Kui climbed the stairs - the stairs were surprisingly spacious, and the feet were extremely strong, so there was no need to worry about falling.
She walked around in circles, climbed a hundred steps, and suddenly a doorway appeared beside her.
"Nier, come." A familiar voice came from the doorway.
"Mother?" Shu Kui was shocked - this is the voice of the mother who finally turned into a zombie in the illusion.
"Come, come." Mother's voice was soft.
Shu Kui was like a demon, and stepped into the doorway without thinking.
Inside is a study, the carved window is pasted with snow-white window paper, some calligraphy and paintings are hung on the wall, and there is an incense burner by the window, billowing green smoke.
Shu Kui's nose was full of light sandalwood, and he saw his father sitting on the side reading a book, and his mother grinding ink in front of the desk.
"Do you remember the words you were taught the other day?" The mother smiled and beckoned, "Come, write to me." ”
Shu Kui stepped forward, took a brush, dipped it in ink, and wrote a few words.
The mother glanced at the rice paper, and was happy, and her snow-white slender finger pointed at a word: "This is your last name, Nier, you can't always remember, there is something missing here." ”
Shu Kui took a closer look and saw that it was a traditional character with quite a lot of strokes, she didn't recognize it, but this was a handwritten word from herself, although it was not very good-looking, it was neat and tidy.
When will I be able to write calligraphy? She wondered.
