Chapter 27: Marriage
The night was even thicker, and I was almost out of breath.
After waiting for more than half an hour, almost two o'clock, Wenmo knocked on my head, "The bride is here." ”
I stretched out my head to look ahead, only to see two old men suddenly appear in the air, a man and a woman, the old lady was holding a picture frame in her hand, and in the picture frame was the appearance of a woman, not ugly, but ordinary.
The man was also holding a picture frame in his hand, but it was empty.
They floated slowly almost without touching the ground.
Behind them, a sedan chair appeared, and the sedan chair was all red, which was very festive. There are four people carrying the sedan chair before and after, which is the so-called eight-lift sedan chair.
The palanquin bearers were all dressed in black, their bodies were soft, and they shook in a mess when the wind blew, and what was even more terrifying was that their faces were as white as paper, with red rouge on both sides, and a little on their lips.
I instantly thought of the paper-tied little people in the store.
When I was thinking nonsense, two old people had already come jumping up, really jumping, as if the soles of their feet were not the ground, but soft trampolines, each step could jump out of a distance of more than a meter, I was even more scared to see.
"Which one is Mr. Qin Xian?"
An old voice floated in the air, and I couldn't help but duck behind Wen Mo.
Wen Mo glanced at me, "The two of you are old men in a yin marriage. ”
"Not bad." They had already appeared in front of us during the conversation, "Half an hour ago, I received Mr. Qin Xian's dowry gift, and I brought my little girl to recognize my relatives. ”
The eight-lifted sedan chair fell steadily to the ground, and those paper-like sedan chairmen stood left and right. The first two opened the curtain.
The sedan chair was pitch black, and it was impossible to see who was inside.
"I'm sorry." Wenmo pulled me out, "This kid doesn't know the taboo, he offended this woman, please don't be surprised by the two old men who are married in the shadows." ”
I was dressed in white, not red, and the implication was already obvious, that is, I refused to marry.
The old man gave me an indifferent look, "This is not in accordance with the rules. ”
"But all I can say is sorry." Wen Mo glanced at the sedan chair, the sedan chair was shaking slightly, and I could feel that the people inside were angry.
"Yes, I'm sorry." I stammered and bowed my head, "I didn't know I could cause this kind of thing by burning a piece of paper, but I don't want to get married." ”
The two old men in the yin marriage glanced at each other, and the old lady attached herself to the sedan chair, as if she was discussing something with the people inside, and only straightened up after a while and walked in front of Wen Mo, "Are you a relative of this child?" ”
"Count it half, and you have the right to speak."
"We don't agree to this matter." The old lady shook her head and glanced at me indifferently, "If this child has not received the bride price, it can still be discussed, but he has already used the bride price." ”
Wen Mo was stunned for a moment, went to look at the pile of things on the ground that were similar to tributes, and then turned his head and asked me, "What did you move?" ”
"I just ate a piece of dragon and phoenix cake......" I was about to cry, "or do I go back?" ”
"You......" Wenmo rubbed his temples, "You're really looking for trouble." I didn't think you would move those things...... What if someone drops rat poison? ”
I cried with a sad face, "Master, I know it's wrong, but I really don't want to get married......"
And it's marrying a ghost, and I'm scared just thinking about it!
"So be it." Wen Mo said to the old man who was married to him: "This matter is our responsibility, and we must bear it." But as you can see, the child is only eight years old. Although according to the rules of the prefecture, age is not a problem, but it is always a child. I don't think this girl is a hard-hearted person, and if she is willing to negotiate with me, she must be a very good-hearted person. Such a good girl, you give me his marriage, today is the seventh and a half months, until the end of July, this half month, I will be responsible for her marriage. ”
Is that okay too?
"Qin Xian, go to the house and find a beautiful paper doll to come over."
As soon as I heard that I didn't need to get married, I immediately got diligent, ran back to the house, picked out the best doll, and hugged it.
The old lady went to discuss with the bride in the sedan chair, and came over after a while and handed the picture frame and a red rope to Wenmo.
Wenmo brought it over and asked me to hold the picture frame, and he wrapped the red around the paper doll's wrist.
"Okay, I'll take over this marriage, and the two of you can leave with peace of mind."
The old man glanced at each other, and then flew away in a hurry.
Wenmo asked me to move the paper figure back into the house and put it away, then open the ledger and circle it around.
"Master......" I whispered, "Can I not get married?" ”
Wen Mo glanced at me angrily, "You're fine, I still have to work part-time...... Really, I owe you in my last life. ”
Then he pointed to the paper man, "If you are fine, just talk to the girl, this girl is still vomiting in her heart, thinking that you are a suspect and the parents are not good-looking and don't want her, beware that she can't get over in one breath, and turn into a ghost to settle accounts with you!" ”
After listening, my face turned pale, and I hurriedly ran to the paper man, burning incense and paying tribute, and kept explaining to myself.
"Big sister, it's not that you're bad, it's me...... It's me who doesn't understand! I'm only eight years old and I'm just a kid! ”
"Hey, where did Little Brother Qin recognize his sister?"
A familiar voice came in with the sound of the door opening, and I turned my head to see that it was Hu Niangzi.
Wen Mo raised his head, "Lady Hu? What are you doing here? Is everything in the village arranged? ”
"Well, the old ancestor and the Gray Family Immortal have come down and scolded the Gray Family's rats for being bloody." Mrs. Hu walked in with a smile and sat down at the counter, "It's the first time I've seen my ancestor make such a big fire." ”
Ancestor?
Is that Grandma Hu?
I immediately thought of Grandma Hu's appearance, and I didn't expect that the grandmother who looked so kind would also be angry.
Mrs. Hu turned her head to look at me, covered her mouth and smiled: "Little Brother Qin, what did you do?" Hongluan Xing moved very much. Then look at the red rope in the paper man's hand, with a clear expression, "Troublesome?" ”
"Don't mention it." Wen Mo threw the pen in his hand aside, "I burned the red paper money by mistake at night, and I got the peach blossom debt back." ”
"Oh, I thought it was a big deal." Hu Niangzi nodded, "This is not difficult to do. Fortunately, you asked for your marriage, I heard that something happened in Liujia Village not far away, the young man died and was injured, and it is estimated that her marriage was there. ”
"Liujia Village? What's going on? ”
Hu Niangzi shook her head slightly, "Huh! That guy didn't know what he was crazy about, he didn't show up for a hundred and eighty years, and as soon as he appeared, he was going to slaughter the village, and the fox cub who passed by told me that he seemed to be injured. ”
"Really?" Wen Mo knocked on the table thoughtfully, "It looks like I'm going to have to go again." ”
Mustache, it's the guy who's going to eat me!
I shuddered and looked at Wen Mo: "Can I not go with you this time." ”
"I didn't want you to go with me." Wen Mo muttered: "But don't worry, there is still half a month, and it is not too late to settle this girl's marriage before it passes." ”
Mrs. Hu smiled again, and looked at me with a pair of bright eyes, "I can't see that Little Brother Qin is quite precocious...... Hmm, there are quite a few unmarried fox cubs in my family, do you have a fancy for Brother Qin? ”
I hurriedly waved my hand, "No, no, no, I don't want to get married." ”
"Do you really not want to? Those fox cubs will be able to transform into human forms in a short time, and they are all girls who are smart and smart~" Mrs. Hu continued to tease me.
Wen Mo hurriedly helped me out, "You came to me so late, it shouldn't be for these boring things." ”
Only then did Mrs. Hu stop laughing, with a faint sadness on her face, "I do have something to come to you." Bai Qi is gone, this time it's really gone, I just found out after cleaning up the group of rats in the Gray family. ”
"Bai Qi? You mean the white seven of the black family? ”
"Well, and it's a little tricky. In two days, I will have a catastrophe, and I guess I won't be able to go out for a month. Bai Qi went out this time and didn't return, I was always relieved, and I also mentioned it to Grandma Hu. ”
Mrs. Hu paused, and looked at Wen Mo's eyes with a little more pleading: "Grandma Hu said that if Mr. Wenmo can help find Bai Qi, Grandma Hu agrees to be the child's guardian immortal." ”
"Oh?" Wen Mo became interested, "Hu Daxian really said that?" ”
Hu Niangzi nodded, "That's right, Mr. Wenmo can verify it." ”
