Chapter 4: A Strange Marriage Proposal

We glanced at each other and walked knowingly towards the crowd. When I looked closer, there was a shirtless middle-aged man sitting on the ground, he was thin and weak, so thin that he was almost like a skeleton.

The man's eyes were blue, his lips were purple, and he laughed from time to time. Sometimes he babbles gibberish, and constantly glancing angrily at the people around him. Sometimes he panicked, shrunk up, as if he was trembling with fear, and looked like a madman......

I was about to find a passer-by to ask what happened, Chen Qingxue pulled me away without saying a word, looking at her serious appearance, I didn't know what to say, so I had to follow silently. After leaving the street for a long distance, Chen Qingxue let go of her hand, and her face looked extremely ugly. I then asked her, "What's wrong?" Are you feeling unwell? ”

She looked left and right, and said, "That person is evil, and we better stay away from that kind of place!" ”

"Isn't it? You know that? ”

I definitely don't believe it in my heart, this is in broad daylight, don't say it, and still be evil? It's not about acting in a TV series or making a movie. Maybe Chen Qingxue also saw that I didn't believe it, so she said again: "What do you think I'm going to rent a house in this town when I have nothing to do?" Is it the same as you? ”

Seriously, I haven't really thought about this, maybe because I'm used to this, so I take it for granted. I replied, "I really thought you liked to live that wandering life like me." ”

She blinked, looked at me and said, "You're not making a fool of yourself? Are you sure you really like to live this wandering life? ”

"Or else? What else can you tell me for? ”

"Hmm...... I thought, probably because I was extremely confused about my life and didn't know where to go? Because you have seen many things in this world thoroughly, no matter which lifestyle you choose or which direction you take as your life goal, the result will be the same in your opinion. You've dreamed everything, in other words, you're living in your own world and your own dreams, so the only thing that makes you feel a little bit meaningful is to sublimate your soul as you keep moving forward and on your journey......"

Chen Qingxue was as light as if she was telling a story, but I was stunned by her words, because she seemed to say that the score was not bad. And these are questions that even I don't want to think about deeply, I just follow my feelings and go all the way. Is it a pursuit? Or wandering? I never think about it, because the more I think about it, the more troubles I have.

At that moment, I suddenly felt that being able to meet her was a blessing that I had accumulated over several lifetimes. At the same time, I was at a loss as if I was being visited in front of everyone, after all, it was very uncomfortable to be spied on.

However, I understood a truth, when getting along with girls, you should be thick-skinned, so I laughed a few times and said, "Wow! It's amazing, I've decided, from this moment on, you're my confidant......"

Chen Qingxue pursed her lips and said, "I think it's better to forget it, it's a little unbearable, who knows how many confidants you still have......"

I said seriously: "Heaven and earth are the witnesses, and you are the only one." ”

Probably because I suddenly looked serious and looked funny, she smiled and said: "This is what you said, the old saying goes, 'A man dies for a confidant', since he is a confidant, that is to say, your little life will be mine in the future......"

Without thinking, I said, "Okay, as long as you want, you can do it now." ”

Chen Qingxue waved her hand and said, "Save it for you first, lend it to you, rest assured, I won't charge you interest......

Somehow, when we're with her, we always seem to be able to leave the serious things behind. For example, last night's 'knock on the door' and the 'evil spirit' incident that just happened are obviously 'strange things' that make people nervous or scared, but that atmosphere has inadvertently become invisible.

It was only then that I remembered to ask her, "What do you mean by 'evil spirit'?" Also, why are you here? ”

We have come to the bridge of the Wind and Rain Covered Bridge unconsciously, but we don't have the heart to see its 'great shore' anymore. So, we found a random public bench and sat down.

Chen Qingxue stroked her loose sideburns and began to say: "I'll start from the beginning, about half a month ago, when my father was on a business trip, he invited a special guest back to his home. said that he was a famous master of metaphysics, and I remember that his surname seemed to be Li, and others called him Li Fengshi. When they met on the train, Li Fengshi said that someone in our family would have a disaster this year, and my father would definitely not take care of it in normal times. But as soon as he thought that it had something to do with his family, and he had nothing to do, he casually asked, 'What calamity?' Possible solution? ’。

Li Fengshi said: "I can solve it, but I just happened to ride with you at this time......

At first glance, this may seem a little inexplicable, but when my dad was young, he was also a person who traveled from south to north, how could he not understand anything? After thinking about it for a while, I understood that Li Fengshi wanted my father to sincerely 'invite' him to help. ”

I couldn't help but interject: "I've also heard of this, some people with real skills will not make a casual move, and they must pay attention to fate and sincerity." Nine times out of ten, those who solicit customers to set up stalls are fools, with only a few exceptions. ”

Chen Qingxue continued: "Well, yes! My dad believed a little at the time, so he got up and made a big salute and sincerely asked him to help. Li Fengshi said that he could see it from my father's face, which probably meant that 'the palace was originally full of misfortune, but the color was blue and dark, and the life palace was like a mirror, indicating that he was fine, but the children's palace saw blood marks, and the yang was flat and weak. This catastrophe is not innate, but it is destined, and since it has happened, we should be cautious. ’

The master also said that the method of prediction can only be approximated. What the specific situation is, it depends on what special things have happened, and then the hexagram is deduced. ”

I couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean by 'seeing blood'?" Is there really such a god, just look at the face to know so much? ”

Chen Qingxue said: "This is called 'physiognomy', and the 'blood stain' is actually a mosquito bite, and then scratches a small red mark." As soon as my dad got home, he couldn't wait to ask me, 'Has anything special happened to me lately?' Or something strange? ’

I said, 'Dad, what do you want to know about all the things that happen every day?' My dad introduced Li Fengshi, saying that he was worried about my safety. I was a little unhappy at the time, and I was still muttering in my heart, now the streets are full of masters, how can I believe such an unreliable thing? It just so happened that my girlfriend asked me out on the street, so I had a reason to go out. That Li Fengshi called me to stop, saying that there was something for me, and I deliberately avoided them, but I couldn't be rude, after all, people were guests.

Li Fengshi quickly wrote a note and handed it to me, and said that he must open it after encountering danger, I politely said thank you, and then casually stuffed the note into my bag.

Later, there was an incident that happened when I was crossing the zebra crossing, my girlfriend called me across the road, and I ran out as soon as I got to the green light. I was so scared that my legs were weak, but fortunately the driver braked in time and stopped at the zebra crossing. I was just about to get angry, but the driver rolled down the window and kept apologizing, saying that the child was sick and rushed to the hospital, so I blamed him and left.

As soon as I crossed the street, my girlfriend pulled me and said that it was just dangerous, and she almost scared her to death, and kept asking me if I was okay? I said, if there is something I can still talk to you here? Speaking of danger, I remembered the note that Li Fengshi gave me, I quickly took it out of my bag, opened it and looked at it, it said, 'There are naughty children on the road, and there is no intention to harm people and be in danger, it is precisely the Bodhisattva who has a good heart, and a good doctor does not save people's hearts!' ’

I was stunned, how could it be so magical? When I went shopping next, I was a little absent-minded, and my girlfriend thought I was scared and didn't ease up, so she excused herself and asked me if I wanted to go with her? Whether it's true or not, how could I possibly go in that situation? I can't say no, I'd better go home.

When I got home, I told me a few things that I thought were more special, and when I heard about the incident in Guzhen, Li Fengshi's face changed, and he said, 'That's right, if my guess is true, it seems that there is a big trouble now......

When Chen Qingxue said this, I couldn't help but pick up the conversation and asked, "What happened in the ancient town?" Isn't that it? ”

Chen Qingxue said: "Yes, I came here not long ago, it happened to be a gathering in the ancient town, there were a lot of people coming, and the town was promoting the local wedding customs and culture. On that day, they also specially invited actors to play the bride and groom.

Towards the end of the performance, I went to the big red sedan chair where the bride was carried to take pictures. At this time, a man was wearing an old-fashioned groom's outfit, which was very similar to the groom's actor. Wearing a white mask and holding a folding fan in his hand, he walked up to me, bowed down and bowed, and said in a strange manner, 'May I ask the girl, but you like this sedan chair?' ’

I didn't think much about it, so I said, 'I like it, it's very beautiful, it's very interesting...... and the man said, 'Xiaosheng Wang Ning, the family has a small property, if the girl likes this sedan chair, Xiaosheng will definitely be able to do the girl's wish, I wonder if the girl is willing to marry Xiaosheng?' I thought he was also an actor, so when he was acting, he cooperated and said, 'Little girl Qingxue, if the son marries sincerely, the little girl is naturally willing to marry......

The man said, "Girl, don't forget today's appointment, the ghost market in July, the Mid-Yuan Festival, Xiaosheng must prepare a big red sedan chair and come to marry the girl...... ”
