The mountain road was bumpy, and a few of us were still sitting in the body, and the degree of shaking can be imagined.

The ping-pong ringing in my ears kept ringing, and for a moment I wondered if I had heard it wrong.

Turning my head, I looked at Situ Cao's position: "What did you say?" Alien invaders? Why? ”

Situ Cao didn't say a word, just sat quietly.

Zhao Qiqi glanced at her, pursed his lips and thought for a long time before finally speaking: "Sister Situ, in fact, I have always wanted to ask you, some time ago, you looked very strange, what happened?" Can you tell us? ”

As soon as I heard Zhao Qiqi's words, I immediately became interested.

Not only Zhao Qiqi, but also Situ Cao's abnormality some time ago was also seen by me, but for various reasons, I didn't ask directly.

Now that I heard Zhao Qiqi mention it, I also sat up straight, and leaned slightly in her direction: "Yes, what's going on with these people in your family?" ”

Zhang Qiang, Wang Yi, and Du Deming also focused their eyes on Situ Cao, looking obviously curious.

Situ Cao glanced at us and smiled sadly: "Okay, originally I didn't want my private affairs to affect other people's moods, but since you want to know, then I will tell you everything." ”

"Say something polite to us!" I looked at Situ Cao and said.

Situ Cao nodded, she just wanted to speak, but Zhao Qiqi poked his finger on her arm, and then quietly pointed to the driver's seat in front of her: "Sister Situ, be careful of having ears through the air, let's pick something that can be said now, and we will talk about other things later." ”

Inside the cab, the driver was driving intently and didn't seem to hear our conversation.

She glanced ahead, then nodded knowingly.

"I know." Situ Cao stretched out his hand and touched his cold cheek, his spirit was still a little sluggish: "That'...... Let me start with the beginning. ”

The five of us nodded one after another, quietly waiting for Situ Cao's narration.

It turns out that Situ Cao's family has also had many stories in the past.

The beginning of everything originated from Situ Cao's grandfather, Situ Shanping.

Many years ago, when Situ Shanping was still a young man, because he was still in the stage of alternating between the old and new worlds, the elders of the family found a daughter-in-law for him when he was very young.

To put it bluntly, it was an arranged marriage in the past.

The woman's name was Bai Shumei, and she was a very typical traditional woman at that time, and she didn't know a single big character.

The Situ family and the Bai family are world friends, and the two of them have naturally known each other since childhood.

Bai Shumei has had a great affection for Situ Shanping since she was very young.

Therefore, when she learned of her parents' arrangement, not only did she not object, but she was still very much looking forward to it.

But Situ Shanping is different.

Because the Situ family has been a well-known local Chinese medicine family since ancient times, and has been famous for its super high medical skills and eccentric temperament for generations, it is not a problem that the family is superior.

Situ Shanping not only received the traditional education of our country, but also was sent by his family to study in the most famous local school when the new education was emerging.

Later, he became the only person in their town to go to university, majoring in Chinese medicine, of course.

The generation gap between him and Bai Shumei can be imagined.

Originally, Situ Shanping had also heard that his parents and other elders had chosen a wife for him since he was a child, but he never took this matter to heart.

However, when he returned from college and was about to use what he had learned in his profession to develop and improve his family medical skills, he learned the news that shocked him - his parents, his grandparents and other elders had already chosen a good time for him.

And such a good time is just around the corner.

That was the day after he went home.

That's right!

The elders of the Situ family, without consulting him or notifying him in advance, let him go home the next day, he must immediately marry a woman he does not like.

As a young man with a new education, how could he not resist?

After learning the news, Situ Shanping immediately planned to pack his things and leave.

However, how could his parents and grandparents not understand him?

Before he had this plan, they had already ordered the servants and servants to close every exit of the Situ family's compound and send people to guard it for twelve hours in a row.

In the end, when he was about to overthrow the family and escape from Situ's house, he was hit hard in the back.

Later, in his daze, he found himself locked in a firewood room.

It wasn't until the next day that Situ Shanping finally woke up.

But before he could recover his senses, the door of the firewood room was opened, and he was carried to the hall by several family members.

The bride was already waiting there with her hijab on.

But Situ Shanping was not happy at all.

He wanted to shout, but his mouth was gagged.

He tried to break free, but his hands were tightly clamped by the family.

He turned his gaze to his grandparents, parents, and other elders sitting in high positions.

Can......

None of them looked him in the eye, as if they were deliberately ignoring his plea for help.

On that day, many, many, many people were invited.

The villagers, the neighbors, and the famous people from the nearby towns all came.

They sat in the spacious hall of the Situ family's ancestral house, and even the aisles were full of banquets.

Everyone saw Situ Shanping's state at that time.

His hands were clamped, his mouth was gagged, and every step he took was forced.

But no one alone felt that something was wrong.

Yes.

No one.

Everyone was clapping happily and saying festive words of blessing and congratulations.

No one mentioned why he was escorted into the hall.

There was joy in their mouths and in their eyes.

Parents are happy, grandparents are happy, relatives and six relatives are happy, and neighbors are happy.

Everyone was happy.

Except for Situ Shanping.

He is like a lamb to the slaughter, even if he always feels that he is a progressive young man who has embraced new ideas, even if he hears about arranged marriages around others, he swears that if he encounters such a thing, he will never compromise easily.

However, when something like this does come.

He realized that he had no room to resist.

That's when he finally understood.

How terrible is the feudal mentality for those who are backward in their thinking.

But what could he do?

There was nothing he could do about it.

Under the coercion of countless enthusiastic cheers and applause, Situ Shanping was still forced to complete the worship ceremony.

At the same time, it also opened the first page of the tragedy of the Situ family.
