Chapter 240: Engagement

Previous Chapter

It has been three full days since he came out of the forbidden land, and during this time, he took Eurydisi and several people to the pit every day, and stayed for half a day, looking for clues and finding a way to rescue Carl, but three days have passed, and there is still no clue.

On this day, early in the morning, Gong Liusha took Yulidisi to the back mountain, and the village gate became warm, Yu'er's house was full of people, firecrackers and horns sounded in unison, today is the big day of the surprise Zezi door-to-door proposal, the gifts were pulled into the yard one by one, and the piles were almost a hill.

There is such a custom in the village, the door-to-door proposal and engagement is a day, if the woman expresses her willingness to interact when the man comes to the door, then the engagement banquet will be held in the afternoon of the same day, the two parties can not meet during the three days of engagement, and after three days, they will officially become husband and wife.

As soon as he walked into the courtyard, he saw Yu'er and her mother who were already waiting at the door, and it could be seen from their expressions full of spring that this family affair was completed.

Diametrically opposed to the warmth of Yu'er's house is another family at the entrance of the village, the two families are only separated by more than 100 meters, but they are as cold as a cool breeze in autumn.

Iron Hammer sat on a chair in the courtyard, had not worked for three days, holding a stone in his hand, staring blankly, this stone was left behind by the little stone man after his death, and the words on it were all gone, no different from the usual stone.

From time to time there was the sound of gongs and drums in his ears, and Iron Hammer raised his head, looked in that direction, and saw only a boxy fence wall, and sighed, he had already heard about the marriage of Zezi.

"Hey!"

At this time, several children got into the fence and ran into the yard one after the other, it was Xiao Liuli and the axe, as well as Yu'er's sister Xiao Yu'er, the three children chased each other, laughing and laughing, this scene couldn't help but make the hammer think of him and Yu'er's childhood, his eyes were red, and his eyes moistened.

Sighing at the impermanence of the world, Iron Hammer thought that Yu'er would marry sooner or later, but now he wants to become someone else's bride, since his parents died of a strange disease, over the years, he has taken care of his younger brothers and sisters, and he can't change a few dollars for desperate iron forging on weekdays, where is there any remaining money to marry Yu'er, so he delayed marrying Yu'er.

Xiao Liuli ran to the hammer, stretched out her pink little hand, and handed a few pieces of sugar wrapped in gray oil paper to the hammer:

"That brother, here you go, it's sweet, eat it!"

The hammer took Xiao Liuli into his arms and rubbed her little head dotingly:

"Where did you get it?"

Xiao Liuli blinked her innocent big eyes:

"Sister Yu'er's house, Sister Yu'er is going to marry Brother Jing, the sugar is what Sister Yu'er caught for us, and Brother Axe still has it. ”

Iron Hammer listened to Xiao Liuli's words, smiled and peeled off a piece of candy, and when he put it to his mouth, he stopped, thinking of Yu'er's marriage, but his heart was mixed, and he couldn't eat any sweeter sugar, so he put it in Xiao Liuli's mouth:

"You eat, my brother doesn't eat it, keep it for our family's baby glass to eat." ”

Xiao Liuli's face was full of a bright smile, she jumped from the arms of the hammer, and followed the axe and Xiao Yu'er crazy!

A few children played for a long time, and Iron Hammer sat on a chair and watched, grinning from time to time.

At this time the axe came running:

"Brother, yes, why haven't I seen King Kong lately, he hasn't come to play with us for three or four days!

Iron Hammer didn't know how to tell his brother about King Kong's death, so he said perfunctorily:

"Oh, oh, I don't know where it went, didn't it often disappear in the past, and then reappeared a day or two later, maybe where it was sleeping at this time. ”

The axe flashes with big innocent eyes:

"Oh, well, let's play the game and leave him alone, when will he be back!"

'He'll never come back'

Hammer muttered inwardly.

The axe lifted King Kong and reminded him of something, and went back to his parents' room, pulled out the box, and opened it, and inside was an ancient book left by the dwarves, as well as the 'bone blade'!

***

At ten o'clock in the evening, the banquet dispersed, and Aziz drank a little too much, and went home with the help of Lopez, Yu'er sent people to the door and stopped, and did not turn her head until she was out of sight, and when she was about to leave, the hammer came out from the side.

Seeing the hammer coming over, Yu'er was a little at a loss in place:

"You...... Why are you here?"

Hammer stepped forward:

"Oh, I...... I'm going to see you!"

Yu'er lowered her head, and her mind reappeared of the scene of that day when she went to the city to find the hammer, and in the rain, two drunks pulled her into the broken grass house.

"Right...... I'm sorry. ”

Yu'er's tears fell, a sentence of sorry contains too much, it is a disappointment of the hammer's feelings, but also a guilt for pure love, and a helplessness for the world, she doesn't even know how to face the hammer in the future.

Seeing the appearance of Yu'er's pear blossom with rain, Iron Hammer forced a smile and comforted:

"Oh, oh, okay, okay, why do you say sorry, don't ...... Don't cry, just say hello. ”

As he spoke, Hammer handed the package he had prepared earlier to Yu'er:

"Well, this one is for you. ”

Yu'er opened it, and inside was a sword, a book, and a bracelet woven from straw.

"This ...... What is this for?"

Hammer:

"Oh...... Oh, aren't you going to get married, and Brother Hammer has nothing to give you, and this book and this sword are the only precious things I have, so I'll give them to you. ”

Yu'er was not interested in books and swords, but picked up the bracelet woven from straw and held it in the palm of her hand:

"I'll take this straw bracelet, I don't want anything else, you can take it back, besides, I can't read, I can't use books, unlike what you have learned before, you can read and understand everything. ”

Yu'er handed the package to the hammer, and the hammer pushed it back:

"You take it, this is my heart, if you don't take it, then I will be very sorry, I only hope that this book, and this sword, I hope to protect you safely." ”

Yu'er handed the straw bracelet to Hammer and motioned for him to bring it for himself, just like when he was a child, Hammer brought the bracelet to Yu'er. Yu'er looked at the straw bracelet on her wrist, laughed stupidly, laughed and cried.

"Thank you, thank you, Brother Hammer. ”

After speaking, he turned around and left, leaving only the hammer with the pestle in place.

In fact, not every woman is greedy for vanity, Yu'er is an exception, in her eyes, the straw ring given by the hammer is more precious than gold and silver, but in the end it still failed to get together with the hammer, she treats love, pure and unstained, that is her love for the hammer, until that thing happens, and everything is destroyed.
