Chapter 117: The Ritual (I)

With the sound of the gong, the entire underground garage fell silent, and the neighbors who were still noisily eating and drinking all stopped their movements.

When I looked at the black sedan chair, there was a sudden sound of tables and chairs dragging and I turned my head again to look at the neighbors who were eating and drinking, and they all stood up at this moment and looked at the black sedan chair with serious expressions. Seeing that Chen Haobei and I are still sitting, this is obviously inappropriate.

I hurriedly pulled Chen Haobei to stand up, Chen Haobei was more drunk than me, and as soon as I pulled him, he pulled his throat to shout.

The atmosphere that suddenly became completely quiet made me think that it was best to be quiet at this time, so I hurriedly covered Chen Haobei's mouth and asked him to stop talking in a low and serious voice, while motioning him to look around.

Fortunately, this thing was not drunk to the point of losing his mind, and when he looked around, he staggered and closed his mouth and stood aside.

The black sedan chair was moving very slowly, and it was only now that it had completely come out of the secret door.

I was seriously looking at the strangely colored sedan chair, suddenly there was an old-fashioned willow chant from the secret door, the sound became louder and louder, as the black sedan chair gradually walked towards us, singing and dancing four people wearing costumes and painting faces, also slowly showed their figures from the secret door.

Although the costumes worn by those four people are also in the style of ancient clothes, they are still very different from the ancient costumes worn by the neighbors.

I can't quite describe the difference, but I'm sure most people can tell the difference at a glance.

The four of them sang and compared some opera movements, and sometimes even turned on the spot together like ballroom dances for a circle or two, but in general, they never stopped, and they were always following the black sedan chair.

After these four opera workers came out, they were followed by the handsome man and woman.

These two are also wearing ancient costumes, but with that face, they look very different from other neighbors in ancient costumes, and their temperament is quite detached.

Although these two people are just walking in a very normal and ordinary way, but looking at them, I feel like I saw a morning thousands of years ago, the sun is just right, the jade-like son and the first Oiran of Chang'an City he just met, are walking on the streets of the city, and the rest of us are running from other places to admire their millennium dicks.

The people who came out behind these two people were mixed, Lao Gu took Ah San and Ah Si, and a few uncles and aunts who didn't know each other, of course, everyone was still wearing ancient costumes, and their ancient costumes were similar to the painting styles worn by the neighbors who were eating, but the materials looked better.

And what they were surrounded by was a young man in a black and red-trimmed satin costume, who was the west wind.

It's really a happy person who is in good spirits, and the west wind at this moment is smiling more heartily and happily than usual.

Plus... Coupled with the fact that he seems to be the only one smiling at the moment, this smile is even more eye-catching.

After Zephyr came out, I was still staring at the secret door, and I guessed who else could come out? It turned out that there was no one left.

As soon as I thought about it, Zephyr is the protagonist today, and he should appear in the finale.

The black sedan chair was getting closer and closer to me, and I stared closely, trying to look more closely.

But the four men carrying the sedan car didn't give me much of a chance, and they suddenly changed direction as they approached me, but it was evident that they didn't change it for me temporarily, because their steps were very uniform and they changed direction in sync.

Ah San, Ah Si and Lao Gu both nodded lightly at the two of us when they saw me and Chen Haobei, which was regarded as a greeting, and I also nodded lightly in return.

Probably because he was facing an acquaintance, coupled with the effect of alcohol, Chen Haobei suddenly shouted: "Uncle Gu! Where's my Mei Di'er? ”

At this moment, in addition to the sound of the wind and the footsteps of those who just walked out of the secret door, the underground garage at this moment only has the sound of singing willow dialect with a low volume, so Chen Haobei's shout is particularly loud, and the empty garage itself has a bonus effect on the volume, and the direct consequence is that he was stunned for a moment after shouting this.

The atmosphere just created by these people who walked out of the secret door was instantly broken, Chen Haobei looked a little overwhelmed, I hurriedly pushed him on the shoulder with a little reproach, then turned my head, and smiled apologetically at the west wind who had a smile on his face that was instantly put away.

However, my apology was obviously ignored by Zephyr, not only did he put away his smile, but his whole face instantly turned red, his eyes stared at Chen Haobei as if spitting fire, and suddenly shouted at the top of his throat: "Shut up!" Don't speak! Don't speak! Don't mess with me!! Don't interrupt me!! ”

The hysterical roar of the west wind was sharp like a woman, and it was the kind of woman who had never lost the perennial scolding war, and had just found out that her husband had raised a mistress outside, and her voice was almost neurotic, revealing a strange pathology.

Ah San and Ah Si were busy comforting the west wind who kept coughing after shouting, Chen Haobei and I were stupid, this scene just now was too scary, I even felt that the west wind's mental state might not be as normal as the old Wang next door to me.

In the process of calming the west wind, the black sedan chair stopped advancing, and although the singer maintained the performance, he did not move his pace, and those neighbors in ancient costumes all looked at Chen Haobei with unkind expressions.

Lao Gu suddenly signaled to Ah San to my side, Ah San nodded, walked in front of me and Chen Haobei alone, and said in a flat tone with a hint of warning: "Haobei, don't make trouble, the Mei sisters are accompanying Mengmeng, we are going to pick them up, promise the third brother, don't make any more noise, okay?" ”

Chen Haobei nodded obediently, and then seemed to feel that this was not enough, so he hurriedly covered his mouth with one hand, and at the same time raised the middle three fingers with the other hand and pointed at the roof of the garage, as if swearing.

Ah San smiled with satisfaction, nodded and patted Chen Haobei on the shoulder, and then turned around and returned to their team.

From a distance, I heard Ah San and Ah Si keep saying comforting words such as "It's okay" to Zephyr, Xifeng eased up for a while and seemed to be relieved, their team finally moved again, and those neighbors in ancient costumes finally stopped staring at Chen Haobei.

I gently patted Chen Haobei's back, which was soaking wet.

The team walked for a while, and finally all of them went to the stage, and then all of them turned their backs to the audience and bowed to Wufu together.

They bowed not the usual three times, but five times, and after bowing five times in a row, the black sedan chair and the west wind walked down the stage from the other side, leaving Lao Gu and the others and the four opera workers on the stage.

Xifeng took the four sedan chair drivers carrying the black sedan chair and walked towards the exit of the underground garage, that is, on the night of Lao Wang's second wedding, when I accidentally saw the black sedan chair for the first time, the exit that the black sedan chair entered.

It looks like they're going upstairs to pick up the bride.

Until seeing that the figure of the west wind disappeared completely, Lao Gu slapped his chin and said in a brisk tone: "Everyone continue to eat and drink well, and the bride will arrive in a while." ”

Lao Gu's jaw applause is like the kind of hypnotist in a film and television drama who wakes up the hypnotized person, as his words landed, the inexplicable tension at the scene just now seemed to disappear, and all the neighbors sat down again, chatting and chatting, eating and drinking.

Chen Haobei and I also sat down again, but Chen Haobei's expression was still frightened, and after sitting down, he picked up the bowl of wine in front of him and drank it in one gulp, which was faster than when he drank with Ah San just now.

After drinking and gasping for a few bites, Chen Haobei said, "Qian'er, what did you say just now?" Why do I feel like I'm dreaming? ”

I said, "Well, I think so too... It's a nightmare. Chen Haobei stretched out his hand to my thigh and said, "Then I'll pinch you and try to see if we are dreaming, right?" ”

I slapped his hand to the side and laughed and scolded, "Get out", and then I heard Ah San's voice: "Hehe, Qianhaobei, don't mind just now, today we will recognize that the west wind is the biggest, let's let him order." ”

As he spoke, Ah San had already sat down, he poured himself a bowl of wine again, and after pouring it, he shook the wine jar and said, "Hey? Not much? You two drank very fast, I'll go get you two another jar." ”

After saying that, Ah San got up with the wine jar and walked away, Chen Haobei looked at the wine bowl in confusion and then looked at me and asked, "That jar of wine... Did we drink half of it? I thought for a moment and said, "Almost, right?" ”

In fact, the two of us have indeed drunk a lot, but after the one just now, the strength of the wine has volatilized a lot, so we are a little more sober at this time.

But I really don't know exactly how much we drank in that jar.

Not long after, Ah San returned to our table with a jar of unopened wine, smiling warmly, it was still the Ah San I knew, as if he was completely two people with a murderous smile just now.

Ah San opened the jar of new wine, and talked and laughed with the two of us, as if he was mending the emotional rift caused by talking to us just now. But he'd been eyeing the garage entrance from time to time, apparently waiting for Zephyr to return.

Chen Haobei and I drank some more, and the feeling of the second wine was particularly intoxicating, and I suspected that I might break it today.

I don't know how long it took, Ah San suddenly got up and looked at the entrance of the garage and said "here".

I hurriedly pulled Chen Haobei to stand up again, and sure enough, Xifeng took the lead and walked in from the garage entrance.

The neighbors, who had been eating and drinking, were quiet again, and looked at the west wind together.

At this moment, the west wind is in high spirits, and he learns to take exaggerated steps like a child, and his smile is still so full of sunshine.

Behind Zephyr was the black sedan chair, and there were two men and two women who entered the garage with the black sedan chair.

The two women are the Mei sisters, and they also changed into ancient costumes, one of them wearing a red long skirt, and there is a trace of indescribable weirdness in the thick ancient style.

The makeup of the two is also very different from usual, the powder on their faces is very thick, and the lips are bright as if they have just drunk raw blood, and their makeup instantly reminds me of the back killer.

In addition to their faces, they also pulled their hair up high, this is the first time I have seen them do such a hairstyle, before the two sisters were shawl long hair, the hair is made like this, less girlish, more dignified and elegant, but also revealing a trace of nobility and coldness.

Overall, I have to say that these two sisters are indeed beautiful women, and they still look good in this outfit.

As for the two men, they are completely unimpressed, they look about the same age as us, and they also belong to the type of dignified appearance.

At least half a head taller than me and Chen Haobei, a black costume is somewhat similar to the West Wind, but it is pure black, not like the West Wind with red edging.

And the moment I saw these two men, I felt that something was going to happen, because one of these two men was holding Mei Tianer's hand, and the other was holding Mei Di'er's hand.

It's like two couples, two left and two right accompanied by the black sedan chair.

"Don't move! Brother Hao, don't be impulsive! That's a joke! Fake! Fake! I hurriedly grabbed Chen Haobei, who was about to rush in the direction of the black sedan chair, his two small eyes were blood-red, obviously trying to fight with the man who was holding Mei Di'er's hand.

Chen Haobei gasped and pouted, looking like he was about to cry, and after being pulled by me, he struggled and looked around, not knowing if he was looking for a guy or what he was looking for.

Fortunately, it was probably the roar of the west wind just now that was still echoing in his head, and this thing didn't directly scold the street.

Ah San saw Chen Haobei's abnormality, walked up to him and gently patted him on the shoulder twice, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with Haobei?" Anyway, let's watch the wedding finish first, you know, Zephyr doesn't want his good things to be disturbed. ”

Ah San's words can make Chen Haobei honest more than my arm, this thing finally stopped struggling, I tentatively let go of him and whispered: "Brother Hao, don't think about it too much, isn't that just a groomsman?" Look at your excitement like that, you won't get pregnant if you hold a hand. ”

Chen Haobei said angrily: "I haven't even pulled it!" ”

As if he saw something, Ah San smiled and said: "Yes, it's just the best man, Haobei, next time there is a happy event in our community, you will be the best man, and the third brother will find you a more beautiful girl to accompany you as a bridesmaid, okay?" ”
