Chapter 23 White Shop

"If you agree to marry Xiao Rong as your wife, the Taoist will protect you." The Taixu Daoist said it very deadly, and he didn't give me any room to maneuver.

All of a sudden, I was in a dilemma.

"That demon girl wants to kill you, if it weren't for the help of the Dao elders just now, your kid would definitely die!" He coughed angrily, and after taking a breath, he continued: "If it weren't for Xiao Rong, a mess like this, don't think that this Dao Master is willing to take it from himself!" ”

I pursed my lips for a long time and stammered, "I'll think about ...... again."

"Ten days have passed, and it's too late for you to regret it!"

Daoist Taixu put down the water cup in his hand, picked up the peachwood sword on the table, and turned back to the room.

At night, I lay on the kang and couldn't sleep over and over.

My parents have not been heard from now, I am the last hope in the village, life and death are at stake, I can't abandon them.

Even my last concern, Mingyun, she betrayed me, and even wanted to kill me.

In the end, I made up my mind, and that was to agree to the request of the Taixu Daoist.

The next morning, I directly explained my mind to the Taixu Daoist.

"Is that true?" Taixu Dao Chang didn't expect me to agree immediately, with a suspicious look on his face.

"Seriously," I replied.

I don't know why, but when I finished saying this, what I was thinking about was the Mingyun who wanted to kill me.

Then, when I remembered the moment when she grabbed my neck, all my feelings disappeared in an instant......

"Dao Chief, I won't let down Miss Xiao Rong," I paused, and then said, "But let me like someone I have never met all of a sudden, I can't do it." ”

Taixu Daoist walked up to my side, nodded and said, "I can understand this, but feelings can be cultivated slowly." ”

At dinner, Taixu Daoist said to me: "The wedding, just five days later, I counted it as an auspicious day." ”

"Everything is up to me," I didn't expect to be in such a hurry, but I didn't want to say anything, so I had to agree.

Seeing that I agreed, the Taixu Dao Chief nodded with satisfaction, and then cast his gaze behind me, "Xiao Rong, come out." ”

A dark wind suddenly blew behind him.

Is it Xiao Rong?

At this time, my heart was pounding, and I was so nervous that my breathing became a little short.

Before, I had never seen Xiao Rong's real body, although I had seen it in the photos given to me by Taixu Dao Chang, but I was still full of curiosity about her appearance.

As the wind blew, I swallowed and slowly turned my head.

I saw that she had a melon seed face, willow eyebrows, red phoenix eyes, thin lips, as pink as a peach blossom in June, long black hair tied into a bunch, put on her back, wearing a blue satin dress, and her figure was graceful.

So good-looking? I opened my mouth wide and looked surprised.

Her dark eyes were uncertain, her cheeks were pink, and she couldn't help but show a little shyness.

I hurriedly stood up and invited her to take a seat.

She was embarrassed to look at me, just bowed slightly, and then walked slowly and sat down beside the Taixu Dao Chief.

For a while, I was nervous and didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere was a little stiff.

Taixu Dao took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "Lin Chen, are you still happy with this girl?" ”

I was touched by her beautiful face, but it was not as deep as the pounding feeling that Mingyun gave me.

It's a pity that Mingyun came just to give me an empty joy......

I calmed down, stopped thinking about her, and nodded: "If Miss Xiaorong doesn't like it, it's the best!" ”

Xiao Rong stretched out her right hand, picked up an orchid finger, covered the corner of her mouth, and smiled faintly.

During the meal, whenever I looked at her, she was looking at me, which made me even more nervous, and I just felt the heat in my ears.

After eating, Xiao Rong added hot tea to Daoist Taixu and me.

Later, Taixu Taoist told me about the marriage in five days.

I'm a relative now, so naturally they can't attend the wedding.

As a result, the wedding was a bit deserted.

However, listening to the meaning of Taixu Daochang, when the time comes, he will have many friends to congratulate Daoxi.

This dispelled my concerns.

"Dao Chief, I naturally want to give the bride price, what do you ask for but it doesn't matter?" Since I promised to marry Xiao Rong, I naturally have to do my best to do what happened at the wedding.

Taixu Daoist didn't seem to have the intention of asking me for a bride price, and after thinking for a while, he said: "A real silk ruler, plus a piece of papier-mΓ’chΓ© leather, cotton, clip, and single clothes, two pairs of brocade boxes, and earrings, bracelets, rings, and hairpins. ”

I'll write them down one by one so I can prepare.

"By the way, these things, I don't care how much, you don't need to worry too much about them." Taixu Dao Commander instructed.

"Naturally, it's all about it, I'll prepare it tomorrow." I replied.

There are many places to spend money on marriage, and I don't have much money in my pocket.

That night, I called the fat man and turned over another 30,000 yuan

The next morning, I went to the town early, and after being led by a strange stranger, I came to a sparsely populated alley, and at the end of the alley there was a white shop, called Juyuan Pavilion.

I pushed the door open and paced inside.

As soon as I walked in, my back was cold.

I coughed lightly and asked, "Anyone?" ”

The room was silent.

No one?

I poked my head out, and before I could take a step out of my front foot, suddenly a hoarse voice came from behind me, "Young man, why is the yin qi on your body so heavy?" ”

I jerked my head around, and saw an old man with a wrinkled face staring at me with big eyes.

There's something wrong with it, and there is no sound when I walk.

"Boss, do you have any paper?" I resisted the panic and pretended to be calm.

"The white shop is engaged in the trade of the dead, not to mention the paper, even the dead are sold." He stretched out his finger and pointed into the distance, gesturing for the paper bundle to be placed there, "What do you want?" ”

"One piece of paper-paste skin, one piece of cotton, one piece of paper, one piece of clothing, and two pairs of brocade boxes, which shall contain earrings, bracelets, rings, and hairpins." I replied.

"Marriage for nothing?"

How would he know I was getting married?

I hesitated, then nodded.

He smoked the pot and looked at me with his eyes intended.

"How much do these things cost?" I asked smugly, dodging his eyes.

"Two thousand dollars," he said, putting down the pot, grabbing a pen with his rough hand, and handing it to me, "pay first, the address is written here, and the goods will be delivered on time the next evening." ”

Two thousand dollars? What paper tie is so expensive?

Looking at his gloomy face, although I was unwilling, I still stubbornly wrote the address, and ordered 2,000 yuan for him.

"Young man, your Yin Tang is black, this is a symptom of yin qi entering the body," he turned around, and returned to the counter with heavy steps: "If you can trust the old man, when you sleep at night, remember to have a piece of garlic in your mouth." ”

"What a joke!" I stepped out of this obscure white shop with a look of disdain.

I lit a cigarette and walked out of the alley, across two streets, just past a gold shop.

I walked into the gold shop, gave Xiao Rong a pair of gold bracelets, and waited until the wedding day to surprise her.
