"Do you want to go to the other side, I can take you."

In the vanity of both truth and falsehood, the young man sitting on the top of the mountain turned his head to look at the girl sitting side by side. In front of them was the other border, surrounded by mountains, where the people of the village had never reached.

Zuo Lan was stunned for a moment, she suddenly stood up, standing on tiptoe on the other side of the highest place overlooking the mountains. Gu Snake was taken aback by her actions and hurriedly stood up to stop it. "Be careful!"

"Can you really take me out?" She stood under the bright sun wheel and turned her head to look at the young man next to her, "Even if I want to leave the village, even if I ...... I don't want to get married. ”

"Of course!" The young man with a green face promised loudly, "You can do whatever you want, I will always be with you!" I—Didn't I say that we'll always be together. ”

Half of the girl's face was hidden in the shadows, but then she laughed, as bright as the fiery sun.

……

"Dad! Am I right, what's the good of hanging all the time, obviously you and I both know that he should have died a long time ago! ”

"Rebel!" The middle-aged man was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "Did you talk like that, he was your brother!" ”

Gu Snake suddenly sneered, and the coldness and mockery in his voice were about to overflow. "Yes, he's my 'older brother', but so what? Haven't I been enough for him over the years, anyone who has been forced to tie himself to a half-dead jar of medicine since he was a child will think like me? ”

The middle-aged man was so angry with him that he shuddered his lips twice to tell him to get out, Gu Snake let out a sneer in his throat, and before leaving, he turned his head and said, "I'm leaving the village." ”

"What did you say?!"

"I said I'm going to take Ah Zuo out of here."

"You fart!" The middle-aged man tugged at Gu Snake's sleeve to prevent him from leaving, his expression was twisted because of anger, "Do you know what you're talking about?" I'm just you two children, now that you're gone, who will manage the entire Gu family, and who will be able to support Jinlin's glory and disgrace?! Now for the sake of a woman, don't you even care about the homeland where you have lived for generations! ”

Gu Snake's struggling movements paused, and it was only for a moment, and he raised the force on his wrist to shake off the shackles, and said coldly: "Now you think of me?" I'm leaving, don't you still have a good son, anyway, brother, brother has always been very positive about managing this kind of thing, it's good to let him take care of it. Those pills were enough to hang his life for a few years. ”

The middle-aged man shook his hand and gave him a slap.

Gu Snake spit out the blood foam in his mouth, and glanced at the other party with a cold expression, "This slap will be returned to you, and I will leave." ”

"You come back to me!"

No one responded to the shouts of the old father behind him, Gu Snake walked on the dirt road of the village with a blank face, and when he passed a bungalow, his steps seemed to pause for a second, and then he walked forward nonchalantly.

In fact, he knew a few things, about the Gu family, about his brother who hung his life on medicine all day long, and about the whole village.

The status of the Gu family in Jinlin Village is no less than that of the Tu Emperor, in addition to the fact that they are rich, the most important point is that few people know that it is the lifeblood of the entire village.

It doesn't matter if you have a surname, it doesn't matter if you have a family background, and it doesn't matter if you have the number of people. As long as there is one person with direct bloodline alive in every Gu family, Jinlin Village will always exist.

flash floods, fires, famines, droughts...... It is normal for all these disasters to happen in the towns and villages outside, and in the less developed level of technology, any one of these disasters is enough to destroy a place. But Jinlin Village will not, this seemingly ordinary village can maintain its existence to this day, relying on its unique way of existence.

This is how the village rises and falls, strong and ridiculously fragile, perhaps many years ago the man who held the lifeline was surnamed Zhang, surnamed Li, and surnamed Wang...... It doesn't matter what the surname is, all that is needed is a family, and then this family will bear the "life" of the entire village.

Gu Snake was not very interested in such a predetermined fate. But if he is the only one left in this generation of the Gu family, and at this time, his father asked him to carry the life of the village, then he may be able to reluctantly accept it.

But not now.

He also has an older brother above him.

There is another brother who is as fragile as a waste and is still alive today, as fragile as this village, but still like a dog.

Gu Snake hated this brother very much.

He felt that it was a waste of time for the other party to live, he had never seen such a fragile guy who seemed to be broken at the touch of a touch, but they were still brothers. Because of the special nature of the other party, almost several times more care from his parents will fall on him, and the servants of the family will treat him carefully and simply, and even the girl he likes will look at him a few more times.

"What's so good about that medicine jar!" Gu Snake always complained in a temper, "Why do you always pay so much attention to him!" ”

Zuo Lan glanced at him a little inexplicably, "He is very good, and he is also knowledgeable, he knows almost everything!" Why do you say that people are medicine jars, and they are very disrespectful to others, and this is not something he can choose. ”

Whenever this time Gu Snake would be manic and yelled like that, and then threw things hysterically, Zuo Lan was scared by him several times, and was even scratched by the broken glass. And every time he calms down, Gu Snake will be like a person who kneels down and admits his mistakes and asks for forgiveness after domestic violence, crying and saying that he will never lose his temper again in the future, and ask Zuo Lan to forgive him.

In fact, Zuo Lan was very afraid of Gu Snake, and the relationship between them was not as flawless and moving as one of the parties had unilaterally recalled. There are even times when she prefers to stay with the bloodline of another Gu family than with Gu Snake, this emotion has nothing to do with love, just a kind of sympathetic attraction.

This situation lasted until one day, the day Gu Snake promised to take her out of the village, Gu Snake's brother suddenly became critically ill.

What's even more outrageous is that on this day, when people were looking for the continuation of the family tree and wanted to set up a new heir, they found that Gu Snake's bloodline was not pure.

He was the child born to the current head of the family and a woman from a foreign country, and there was no wedding ceremony for Ming Media to marry at that time, and the woman was never heard from after the Pingshui meeting. People thought that as long as they were blood relatives, they would be fine, but they found that Gu Snake's blood could not be integrated with the village.

Now the only remaining heir of the Gu family is the elder brother who is dying on the hospital bed.

In despair, the Gu family had an idea born in their hearts.

One is now the only way to continue the Gu family and Jinlin Village.

They sent someone to disguise themselves as Gu Snake and intercepted Zuo Lan, who left tonight. It took a considerable part of the arrangement to send her to her brother's bed.

No one knew Zuo Lan's mood that night, just as no one expected that Gu Snake would bite back like a mad dog.

The last bloodline of the Gu family did not survive in the end, and soon after, the person who had spent almost the first half of his life in the hospital bed finally died on the hospital bed. The only difference is that he died, but his bloodline lived forever in another way.

Later, people said that a wedding would be held, a wedding in an upright hall, symbolizing that Zuo Lan had belonged to the Gu family, so as to ensure that there would be no problems with the bloodline. So Zuo Lan was imprisoned in a black house, and in order to prevent anyone from knowing the truth, they made up an argument that any living person who saw the bride would be targeted by a "ghost".

Just in case, they also rushed to make a batch of masks overnight and distribute them, in order to prevent the prying eyes of "dirty things".

On the third day of her confinement, Zuo Lan's titular mother came to see her once.

She received all the benefits of the Gu family, but what she learned was only part of the truth, and it was also the part that the Gu family claimed to the outside world.

They concealed all the ugly things they had done in order to continue the bloodline, and just vaguely said that Zuo Lan himself and the eldest son of the Gu family were in love, and Gu Snake's unrequited love had always been unwilling to entangle. They also said that Zuo Lan was grief-stricken when they learned of the death of her eldest son, and that this wedding was also proposed by herself, and she wanted to marry him even if she died.

Knowing all this so-called "truth" from her mother's mouth, if anyone can see it, the sad expression on Zuo Lan's face at the moment is extremely ironic.

"Let Gu Snake come to see me." She finally said through the window, "It's the last thing you did for me before I die, and you let Gu Snake come to see me." ”

"Don't be stupid," said the same sarcasm on the mother's face. "Do you think I really fully believe the Gu family's words? Over the years, although I have never taken care of you, I am also clear about the matter between you and Gu Snake, and I know that you are not willing to marry the dead man of the Gu family...... But Lan'er, so what? ”

"So what?" "I don't know why they're doing this, but you're already being targeted by them, so how can we resist?" she said. That Gu Snake, do you really think that he is sincere to you and wants to leave with you? Then do you know that night, he had obviously seen a few familiar faces of the Gu family, but he didn't stop it, and he didn't even come to see you until now, why? ”

"Do you really think that between the Gu family and you, he will choose you?"

There was no more talk inside, and it wasn't until a long time later, when no one came outside the dead dark room, that there was a whisper inside, "Then what can I do......

……

"Ah Zuo, I'll take you out of here."

It seemed as if a long time had passed, and it seemed that it was just the time when I was standing side by side on the top of the mountain surrounded by mountains at that dusk, looking at the other side of the mountain.

Zuo Lan opened her eyes and looked back, the original auditorium turned into a burning red, and the culprit walked beside her, saying in an unprecedentedly gentle tone, "Let's get out of here." ”

The man in the red wedding dress turned his head, "Gu Snake, let me ask you, did you know that night?" ”

"What are you talking about?" The man in red, who was also dressed in red, looked up and smiled, "It's okay, it's okay anymore." When it's all over, we leave here and start a new life. ”

So Zuo Lan also began to laugh, half of the girl's face was hidden in the shadows of dusk, and the other half of the face exposed in the light was dazzling like a blazing sun.

……

"Congratulations to the bridegroom, congratulations to the bridegroom......"

Along the newly built main burial chamber, Gu Snake muttered while grinding nails. The unconscious Zuo Lan was lying on one of the coffins, which originally contained his brother's bones, but now his whereabouts are unknown.

"Yihe Langjun has been on the wall for half his life, and he has finally fallen, and he is fortunate to be a beautiful girl."

This was a popular word filling in that era, almost everyone who read a book can make up two sentences casually, and when Gu Snake was young, his brother often played this with him.

The name of this poem is "He Bridegroom", which has nothing to do with the name of the word plate in another dimensional world, it is a very straightforward vernacular, and it is often used at weddings to congratulate the bride.

"He groom, he groom, second He Changdi...... Hehehe, Erhe Changdi is decadent and decadent, looking at the eyes, dancing in the sky with fireworks. ”

“…… Gu Snake. ”

Zuo Lan, who was lying on the coffin, woke up and shouted his name, his voice hoarse.

"Ah Zuo, I sometimes wonder who the real dead are." Gu Snake stopped sharpening the knife in his hand and looked down at an auspicious bird made of rusty gold thread on the wedding dress. "Is it my brother who died in the medicine jar, or is it me all along. You said...... In fact, in the auditorium, both of us were dead, in the fire. ”

"You're crazy." Zuo Lan looked at him calmly, "Gu Snake, sometimes I really don't understand you, what do you want?" ”

Gu Snake didn't answer this, but just sang it again.

"He groom, He groom, Sanhe red makeup is poor, the road is long, the poor car is crying and returning to Zisang."

Zuo Lan suddenly sneered extremely loudly.

"We can't go back, and we don't have an endless road to return to, Gu Snake, this is the end of our life."

She got down from the coffin, and without glancing at the crazy man over there, she walked straight to the exit of the tomb.

Gu Snake got up and lifted the machete and cut off her calf.

"You madman!" Zuo Lan fell to the ground, and didn't even pay attention to the unimaginable pain from below his leg for the first time, and scolded Gu Snake heartbreakingly. "You keep talking about love, and you swear to take me away, this is your love, this is your promise! I don't even want to investigate whether you interfered in what the Gu family did, I only ask you now whether you love me or just to fulfill your desires! ”

With a brush, half of the tongue fell again.

"He red makeup, red makeup...... The road to the end is vast, to Zisang, to the ......"

Gu Snake turned a deaf ear, muttering that his wrist kept raising and falling, and the long nail was nailed in inch by inch, until it was inseparable from the scarlet wedding dress.
