Chapter 15 Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law meet
Jingmei didn't know when she got out.
When I came to my senses, I found her sitting on the edge of my bed, looking at me without saying a word.
I don't know what tricks she used, but my high fever went away.
Sitting up from the bed, I looked at her for a while and didn't know how to speak, and the atmosphere in the room was a little awkward.
In the dim light, I saw a faint shadow reflected behind her. Ghosts have no shadows, and it seems that she has successfully condensed her true body.
Compared to before, she now looks more real, and her beauty is undisguised.
I had been looking forward to this day because she had said that we would be married as soon as she was out of the country.
But right now, I'm a little unhappy.
Because I'm not sure if she's going to like me, or if she's the one I've borrowed from.
I have been single for a long time, and my desire for affection is simply anxious day and night, and I really want to have someone by my side, survive the years, spend long nights, rely on each other, share each other's joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and spend my life together.
But I'm not a saint, and I long for a pure relationship, unadulterated with anything else. I don't care if the other person is a human or a ghost, but I care if she's true to herself.
What yin and yang are separated, people and ghosts have different paths, even if there is a ruler hanging above my head, I don't care. I can try my best to get through to my family, but I can't accept an emotionless marriage.
Not counting the marriage proposal of Lu Ji in the Heavenly Master's Mansion, this is the third time I have met her, thinking about it, the two of us look at each other silently almost every time we meet.
"I was born and died, and my grandfather took my body up the mountain to borrow my life for me, this matter ...... Do you know? Eventually, I broke the silence and asked slowly.
"Yes." Jingmei nodded.
"Do you know how he borrowed his life?" I asked.
"The cycle of life and death, even if it is the master of the underworld, cannot be changed at will, in fact, your life is borrowed by me."
I have no accident, even if my grandfather is a mountain guard, I am afraid that he does not have such a great ability to manipulate life and death. Then on this mountain, only the mountain god Niangniang can have this kind of ability.
"Whose life is it borrowed?" I continued to ask, a little nervous.
"People in the Shuanglong Cave, when the time comes, you can find the answer yourself!" Jingmei looked at me and sighed lightly.
"Is that person related to you?"
"Relevant!"
I got the answer I was looking for and fell silent again.
"There is a cave in the Cave of the Double Dragon, and the things in it are very important, and the reason why we killed the evil dragon in the first place was actually for that kind of thing. But when I saw that when I killed the dragon, I realized that we were all wrong, and we shouldn't have killed it. ”
"What's that?" I asked in surprise.
"A key!"
"Keys? What keys are so important. ”
"A crucial key, which will be born sooner or later, I have no power to stop it. In fact, this is also the trend of the times, and manpower cannot stop it. ”
These things are a bit far away for me, but since my life is related to the Twin Dragons Cave, sooner or later I will go in and check it out in person.
Thinking about this, I felt a lot easier.
Under the candlelight, looking at Jingmei's beautiful face, I gradually couldn't help but feel a little stupid, and my voice trembled a little: "You...... Will you still marry me? ”
"I'm here to wait for your words, marriage is a big deal, do you think I'm going to joke with you?" Jingmei said lightly.
"Okay, come home with me tonight, and tomorrow, you and I will get married."
A pride rose in my heart, no matter what fate it is or not, as long as she dares to marry, I dare to marry Lao Tianyan. Even if I live by life, I am still me, not someone else.
The bright moon shines through, and the yin wind blows the hills.
I walked in front, Jingmei followed behind me, and none of us spoke along the way.
Her steps were so light that I stole back several times to see if she was following.
There was a little nervousness in my heart, but more of anticipation. There are many things she and the old man haven't explained to me clearly, but if they don't, why should I ask.
After more than 20 years of work, I have had enough of being treated with the contempt of others, and now I don't want to be treated like that anymore, especially in front of her. If a manly husband has a marriage contract, he must practice it.
In fact, I knew in my heart that I was completely in love with Jingmei.
But she maintained that cold personality for a while, and although it was a little calmer with me, it still made me feel unaccustomed.
I don't believe that after getting married, she will still be like this to me after the candle night in the cave room.
An unprecedented desire for conquest and possessiveness rose in me.
When I returned to the village, it was late at night, and all the villagers were already asleep.
When I arrived at the door, I turned around and looked behind me again, and when I saw that she had been following, I couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, I was really afraid that she would suddenly run away halfway.
The lights were on in the house, and my parents didn't turn off the lights because they seemed to have a premonition that I was going to bring the mountain god back. Even I suspect that they haven't slept yet.
I entered the door first, watched Jingmei standing at the foot of the stone steps and didn't move, my heart tightened, and asked, "Why don't you come in?" Have you changed your mind? ”
"No, there is a gatekeeper on your door, you have to invite me before I can go in."
Hearing Jingmei say this, I couldn't help but smile and teased: "Why, the dignified mountain god Niangniang, who killed the existence of the evil dragon, is now afraid of the little door god?" ”
"I promise you to be my wife, your home is my family, since it is my own home, why bother with the door god of my own family."
I never thought that she was worried about this, I blushed, put away my playfulness, and made a gesture of please.
"The second son of the Lao family, invite Lin Jingmei into the house."
I don't know if it's my delusion, Jingmei's face seems to have a touch of red, but it quickly disappears.
When I entered the door, I was a little dumbfounded when I saw the outfit in the room.
I saw that on the corridor of the house, red lanterns were hung on the surrounding walls, and even the red paper pasted on the door frame was also renewed, as if it was the New Year.
If it weren't for the familiar layout, I wonder if I'd been in the wrong room.
After Jingmei followed, she looked around curiously, and I saw that her eyes were shining, and I couldn't help but secretly admire my mother's efficiency.
When I talked on the phone in the morning, I just promised her to bring Jingmei back, but I didn't set the time, but I didn't expect that after a day's work, she would make the house look new.
In fact, Jingmei has not descended the mountain for 500 years, and the outside world is full of mystery and temptation for her, after all, she was only a young age when she fought with the two-headed dragon, not an old monster who is well versed in the world.
Even after hundreds of years, she still feels like a girl.
I took her into my room, and when I entered, she looked sluggish.
Almost all the furniture in the room was brand new, and there were red things hanging everywhere, especially the new bed, which was actually retro-style, and the quilts and pillows on the bed were neatly folded.
On the other side is a dressing table with several sets of paper clothes.
I opened my mouth wide and couldn't close it for a long time, this old mother knows too much, right?
She actually knew that Jingmei wore paper clothes, and she specially bought many sets.
Now, I finally understand why my father has been treated obediently by my mother all his life. This vigorous but meticulous efficiency is really ......
Women can never resist the temptation and temptation of cloth and clothing, even Jingmei.
Her eyes lit up as she looked at the clothes on the table, and a charming smile spread across her face.
Thinking about the fact that she has been wrapped in a red cloth on Heavenly Mountain for hundreds of years, I am afraid that no one can stand it.
"You can pick one of these clothes, I'll help you burn them later, and then I'll take you to see my parents." I said.
Although Jingmei condensed her true body, she was actually still a yin spirit, and she could only wear clothes in this way before she faded her yin qi and condensed the primordial spirit.
"Hmm."
Qingmei answered, and ignored me.
When I arrived outside the second elder's room, I was about to knock on the door, but the door opened from the inside, and my mother pulled me in nervously and asked in a low voice, "How is it?" Did the people bring it back? ”
In fact, although my parents accepted the fact that I was married to the mountain god Niangniang, they were mortals after all, and they were still panicked when they knew that the real person was coming.
"Got it back!" I looked at my parents' nervous expressions and couldn't help but feel a little funny.
"What does she look like?"
"Just like the average person."
"Is there a shadow?"
"Yes, in order to marry me, Jingmei deliberately retreated for seven days to condense her true body."
"So, can you do that?"
My mother asked me a question, and then I was ashamed to ask a question that made me blush.
I can't answer this last question because I haven't tried it, but after she condenses her real life, it should be fine.
The old man also once said that as long as I marry the mountain god Niangniang, I will enjoy endless blessings, I didn't believe it before, but now I believe it.
It's just that for this kind of thing, the premise is that the other party agrees.
I asked my mother how she knew that Jingmei was wearing paper clothes?
My mother's answer thrilled me, and she said that she called the old man to ask and asked about some other precautions.
"Can the old man's phone get through? Where are the others? I asked in surprise.
"I don't know, I only got through once, and then I didn't get through, he said that we will look at the marriage between you and the mountain god Niangniang, as long as you don't treat others badly."
"That's it?" I asked, stunned.
"Did he say anything else?"
"No more!"
The old mother shook her head, sighed and said: "Actually, we already knew that your grandfather made a lot of money in the mountains, and a few years ago we discussed with him to let him pay for your marriage and marry a wife to live a stable life like your brother." But your grandfather didn't listen to anything, and he had his own plans for your marriage in the future, so we didn't have to worry about it. At that time, we thought that he was reluctant to give up the money, but we didn't expect that now he really has such a marriage for you. ”
My face was full of helplessness, but the old man was optimistic, didn't he know that his grandson was almost buried in the reservoir, and now he was killed by black and white impermanence?
When I saw my father sitting next to him smoking a cigarette, silent, I asked him what he had to ask of this daughter-in-law.
"I didn't have any questions, I heard all the conversations you had as you walked in. She is a god on the mountain, a high-ranking existence, but when she enters the door, she respects the god of our family, which shows that she is sincere, and I recognize this daughter-in-law. My dad said.
