Sister Ah Fu turned around step by step and came to the sedan chair, looking at the old house from afar, and the tears in her eyes were flashing.

The big yellow dog Kiko crossed the crowd and rushed to Sister Afuku's side, wagging her tail and rubbing her head against the corner of her skirt. Sister Ah Fu squatted down, stroked Xizi's head lovingly, and said with a little choked up: "Xizi, I can't take you away, you stay here to guard the house for me, and wait for Ah Fu to come back, okay?" ”

Kiko, who is quite human, seemed to understand Sister Afuku's words, wagged her tail and sat on the ground, staring at Sister Afu with big dark and moist eyes, as if expressing her reassurance.

"Ah Cai, don't delay, the way to the next village is still long, don't miss the auspicious time." A wrinkled lady pulled Sister Afu's sleeve and persuaded her.

Sister Ah Fu bit her lower lip at this time, stood up ruthlessly, and sat in the sedan chair.

The so-called sedan chair is nothing more than two bamboo poles tied to a bamboo chair, carried by two porters, and people sit on it fluttering and unobstructed.

An old woman handed a black mountain to Sister Ah Fu, who was sitting on the sedan chair, and carefully advised: "No matter what happens, don't take this umbrella off, otherwise it will bring disaster to your husband's house, and people will be unhappy." ”

Wanyan Lingyue watched curiously as Sister Ah Fu took the umbrella and propped it on top of her head, she whispered to Bai Shengrui, "Is this also a local custom?" ”

Bai Shengrui nodded.

The send-off procession departed.

Wanyan Lingyue took a look around, there were many people who came to see him off, but only she and Bai Shengrui really set off.

She sighed in her heart, if she and Bai Shengrui hadn't been entrusted by Ah Fu to come, I'm afraid her sister would have to marry alone.

Wanyan Lingyue and Bai Shengrui took the horse and followed behind the sedan chair, and slowly walked towards Sister Afu's husband's house.

It's been a long journey.

These people went straight to the middle of the day, and they were only halfway there.

The porter wanted to rest halfway, so Yan Lingyue walked over and helped Sister Ah Fu off the sedan chair and sat on the bluestone on the side of the road to rest.

Bai Shengrui and a porter went to find water.

Sister Ah Fu got out of the sedan chair, still holding the umbrella in her hand.

After Yan Lingyue looked at it, she asked kindly, "You've lasted so long, I'm afraid your arms are numb, or put it down and rest for a while." ”

Sister Ah Fu smiled and shook her head, "I'm fine." This umbrella is a must-hold for our local women when they get married, and it is used to ward off calamities. ”

"It's just an umbrella, you secretly put it down now to rest for a while, and then open it when you get on the road, and no one will know." Wanyan Lingyue sympathized with Sister Ah Fu, afraid that she would be too tired, so she came up with this bad idea.

Saying that, she also wanted to help Sister Ah Fu put away the umbrella.

"Don't take it, don't take it, it's going to be unlucky if you accept her." Out of nowhere, a strange and old voice suddenly sounded.

After Yan Lingyue's hand that was about to take the umbrella stopped in mid-air, she withdrew her hand and turned her head to look around to see the direction in which the voice came from.

I saw a half-human-high grass trembling, and there seemed to be someone hiding behind it.

Wanyan Lingyue suddenly became vigilant, looked in the direction of the grass and reprimanded loudly, "Who is there, come out quickly, otherwise I'm welcome." ”

"The little doll is quite fierce." There was indeed a person hiding behind the grass, and that person not only did not feel angry at Wanyan Lingyue's scolding, but looked very interested.

Wanyan Lingyue was obviously dissatisfied with being treated as a little doll by the other party, and she shouted in an accentuated tone, "Dare to call me a little doll, I'll see how old you are." ”

Before the words fell, the person had already flown into the grass, Sister Ah Fu only felt that the figure in front of her flashed, and then Wanyan Lingyue disappeared in front of her, she stood up in shock, and looked around anxiously.

Suddenly, there was a violent tremor in the grass in front of him, and then two people slowly stood up from behind.

One was a smug face Ling Yue, and the other was a strange old man who stood up by her ears.

The old man frowned and shouted, "Tap, tap, it hurts......"

"Whoever asked you to hide in the grass and eavesdrop on us, it's just a matter of eavesdropping, and dare to interject." As he spoke, he sent his hand forward, and the little old man rolled and fell down the road.

Sister Ah Fu was frightened, the old man looked thin and dry, after such a fall, I am afraid that the bones of the whole body will be broken.

Unexpectedly, the little old man rolled on the ground a few times, then sat on the ground and said with a smile, "The female doll has so heavy hands, the old man was almost broken by you." ”

"You still dare to take advantage of me?" Wanyan Lingyue walked out of the grass, and the boss was unhappy on her face.

Sister Ah Fu hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man, and then persuaded Yan Lingyue and said, "Miss Yue'er, this is not intentional for the old man, don't embarrass him anymore." ”

"It's still this female doll who is sensible." The old man's wrinkled face squeezed out a big smile, and the smile was even more obvious when it was in the vertical and horizontal furrows on his face.

After Yan Lingyue just wanted to continue to reprimand the old man, Bai Shengrui, who came back from looking for water, called her behind her, "Yue'er ......"

Wanyan Lingyue heard Bai Shengrui call her, so she suppressed her voice.

Bai Shengrui walked to Wan Yan Lingyue's side, looked at the old man suspiciously, and saw that the old man had gray hair, a sparse beard, a thin and rickety body, and the wrinkles on his face were stacked together, like mountain rocks that had been weathered and eroded all year round.

It's just that the wrinkled eyes are full of brilliance, and they don't look like the eyes of an old man.

"What's going on?" Bai Shengrui withdrew his gaze from the old man and asked Wanyan Lingyue.

Wanyan Lingyue hugged her arms and said disdainfully, "Just now we are resting here, this old man not only eavesdrops on us, but also interjects indiscriminately, and verbally takes advantage of us." ”

"Oh?" Bai Shengrui let out a faint puzzle, and turned his head to look at the old man again.

The old man hurriedly argued, "Female doll, are you good to be reasonable, obviously the old man came here first, and you came later, why did you become an old man I deliberately eavesdropped on you?" As for the old man's mouth, it was also because you wanted to accept the doll's doll as an umbrella, so the old man kindly reminded him. ”

Saying that, he put his hands behind his back, bent his waist, walked a few steps forward, walked in front of Wan Yan Lingyue, raised his head and continued, "You said that the old man took advantage of you, the old man is more than 100 years old this year, how wrong is it to call you a sound doll?" ”

When the old man spoke, his expression was always smiling, and he didn't look annoyed.

Bai Shengrui couldn't help but be greatly surprised when he heard that this old man was already 100 years old.

The hundred-year-old man's legs and feet are so nimble, and his eyes are so sharp, this should not be an ordinary person, but he looked at the old man carefully with three points of curiosity and seven points of vigilance.

When the old man tilted his head slightly, he unexpectedly collided with his gaze, and there was a touch of shock in the old man's eyes.

Bai Shengrui didn't know what he was, but with the idea of making less trouble, he hugged his fists and said: "This old man, Fang is the inner son has offended a lot, and I will make amends to you on behalf of the inner son." ”

"So you're husband and wife." The old man twisted his beard, which had few left, and said with a smile, "Not bad." ”

Wanyan Lingyue didn't know what he meant by good.
