Chapter 33: The Game of Gambling on Life
A poem in the Book of Songs recited by my aunt means that from now on, we will accompany each other for life, life and death.
All the barriers that pressed on my heart, all the suspicions about her, disappeared at this moment.
By the time the guests had dispersed, it was already dark.
According to our etiquette, the bride must wear a red hijab when she gets married, which is generally covered before going out in the morning, and the groom returns to the cave room after the wedding banquet in the evening.
Calculating the time, my sister-in-law's red hijab has been covered for nearly ten hours, and I don't know if I feel impatient.
I couldn't resist the persuasion when I toasted, drank a few more glasses, stumbled when I entered the cave room, and when I pushed the door, I didn't grasp the strength well, and I slammed it open.
My sister-in-law was in the house with my sister-in-law, and when she saw me coming in, she took the door and went out.
The red candles are swaying, the red quilts and red tents, and the red of the sister-in-law, the whole house is full of joy.
I lifted her red hijab, revealing a peerless face with exquisite makeup.
The eyebrows are drawn, diagonally inserted into the sideburns, and the long eyelashes hang on the face.
Her lip line was originally a little sharp, but it was only after applying lipstick that it showed a little gentleness.
Seeing that she bowed her head and was silent, I then hooked her chin with my drunken hand and looked her straight in the eyes.
The more I looked at it, the more I was happy from the bottom of my heart, and I couldn't help but lower my head and want to kiss her on the cheek.
Seeing that she was about to kiss, but she didn't want her to suddenly break free, she got up and stood up, and said coldly, "I should go." ”
"What?" I didn't understand what she meant.
"Don't worry, the marriage contract between you and me has been fulfilled, and I will also use this to announce my accession to the world. Whoever wants to move you again, you must first ask me what Lin Jiwen means. Sister-in-law said.
"You think I married you so you could protect me?" I asked.
"Isn't it?"
I was speechless because I couldn't find the words to contradict her.
From the very beginning, the white old ghost is playing this abacus, and my master also said that the next Yuan Festival is my mortal calamity, and only the Yellow River Niangniang is my lifeline.
The most important thing is that if it weren't for the white old ghost, I might never see my concubine for the rest of my life, let alone marry her.
"I don't deny that you said that I married you so that you can protect me, and I won't force you to stay if you want to leave, I just want to ask you one thing." I said as I looked her in the eye.
"Just ask."
"Why are you marrying me?"
The reason why I asked this is because with her ability, if she doesn't want to marry me, the old white ghost has no way to force it.
Marrying me is not just as simple as joining the WTO, and it is not for the sake of mermaid tears. According to Shi Niang, the ability of the concubine is not even a ghost general, I believe that she is really determined to enter the WTO, and there are not many people who can embarrass her.
The concubine was silent for a long time before she said, "I married you for a reason." ”
"Does it have something to do with my background?" I asked.
I, Xie Lan, have done nothing all my life, so I am not amazing and outstanding, except for my mysterious background, I really can't think of the reason why she married me.
"You guessed right." The concubine did not deny it.
"Do you know whose life the old white ghost stole for me?" I asked again.
"I don't know. Your life experience is covered by the way of heaven, don't say that no one in the world has broken it, even Yin Si can only talk about things with the king of Hades. ”
"Then why do you still say that you married me because of my background?" I'm a little confused.
"I'm gambling, I'm gambling with the old white ghost, betting that he is stealing that person's life. If you are really him, don't say that I am willing to marry you as a wife, and I am willing to be a slave and a slave. ”
This time it was my turn to be silent, and my heart was full of bitterness. She's not going to marry me, it's someone else.
Even if I wanted to break my head, I couldn't imagine that the reason why she married me came from such a big gamble. What is even more unexpected is that the white old ghost, the person who stole my life, is actually gambling, and even he is not sure whose life he stole is.
And obviously, the white old ghost is in the same group as her.
From beginning to end, it wasn't the white old ghost who helped me calculate her, but the white old ghost who had been working with her to calculate me.
The old white ghost said that my life experience is in the Nine Dragon Caves, and the Nine Dragon Caves are blinded by heaven. That's why he didn't know whose life he stole for me, and that's easy to figure out.
However, the Nine Dragons Cave is neither a reincarnation well nor a soul restoration cliff, how many lives can be stolen in it?
"How many lives are there in the Nine Dragons Cave?" Thinking of this, I asked.
"Two." Auntie said.
This answer is the same as I guessed, it will definitely not be too much, and if there are too many, the sister-in-law will not bet on her own marriage.
"Since you dare to bet, you must know who these two lives are?" I asked again.
"Of course, I know who it is, and you will understand it yourself when it comes to the next Yuan Festival."
My sister-in-law left, and I followed her to see her out. After all, a husband and wife should send it away.
Unlike when I took her home from the Yellow River, this time it was her in front and I was behind.
She didn't use any spells along the way, just walked down to Xiaba Village step by step, but we didn't say anything along the way.
When I got to the riverbank next to the ancient altar, I thought she would leave decisively, but I didn't want her to suddenly turn around and ask me, "Have you thought about how to explain my departure to my father and mother tomorrow?" ”
"Is this important?" I asked with a wry smile.
Compared to the reason why she married me, I think how to explain her departure to my father and mother is a trivial matter.
"It's not really important." After speaking, the concubine entered the water from the shore and walked to the center of the river step by step.
The river went from her ankles, knees, little by little to her slender and feminine waist, to her shoulders......
At the moment when she was about to disappear, she suddenly turned around and said to me again: "Xie Lan, it's not just me and Bai Lao Ghost who are gambling with you, the Heavenly Master's Mansion is also gambling. ”
……
The next day, my father and mother asked about my sister-in-law, and I said that she had something to do and went back to her parents' house. Her maiden home is the Yellow River, and her father and mother also know this, so they didn't ask much.
I went to the paper shop again, and when the white ghost was not there, I could only ask her.
After the meeting, I told my sister everything I knew from my sister-in-law, and her surprised look was not like a disguise at all.
After listening to this, Shi Niang told me with a wry smile that she now understands why the old white ghost left her in the first place. The reason is very simple, there are too many secrets on the white old ghost, and such a person is only suitable for living alone.
Fortunately, if I have a straightforward personality and am willing to tell me anything, my sister will also participate in the game, which will make me doubt my life directly.
No one wants to be surrounded by a group of actors, especially the existence of actors......
"I always thought that Uncle Bai was on my side, but I didn't expect him and Huanghe Niangniang to be together." I said with a sigh.
"Xie Lan, in fact, it doesn't matter who the old white ghost is with, the result is the same." Shi Niang said.
I understood what she meant, no matter who the old white ghost was on, the result sought was my marriage to my sister-in-law, and then to save my life.
Because if my sister-in-law and I don't get married, there will be no cause and effect of life and death between us.
Now that I have made a great gift to her, she has also taken this opportunity to announce her accession to the WTO. In the future, whether it is the Yin Si ghost general, or the Dao Sect that secretly harbors ghosts, it will no longer be easy to move me, at least I don't have to worry about my life before the next Yuan Festival.
From this point of view, it really doesn't matter who the old white ghost is with, but I don't want to be fooled like a fool.
Suddenly, I remembered one more thing, my sister-in-law said that the Heavenly Master's Mansion was also gambling with me, what were they gambling on?
"Master, my sister-in-law said that the Heavenly Master's Mansion is also gambling, do you know what they are gambling?" I asked. Shi Niang showed a thoughtful expression, and after a long time, she said: "Actually, I have one thing that I have always thought is very strange, it is said that you are so close to the white old ghost, and you are a person who has experienced the immortality of the Hades three times, the Heavenly Master's Mansion will definitely have thoughts about you.
But they don't even investigate Chen Qiu's death because of you as if you don't exist. ”
"It's weird." I said.
"But I heard that Huang He Niangniang said that the Heavenly Master's Mansion is also gambling, I can figure it out. The Heavenly Master's Mansion is also gambling on your life, but they are betting on another one. ”
My aunt said that there are two lives in the Nine Dragons Cave.
She made a bet with the white old ghost, so the Heavenly Master's Mansion could only bet on another.
"I don't know whose life the white old ghost and the Yellow River Niangniang are betting on, but I can roughly guess this other life!" Shi Niang suddenly said excitedly. "Who?" I immediately asked.
