"What's wrong?" Qi Tianyang seemed to see my discomfort, and asked in a concerned tone.

"It's fine." I just took a look, not sure if what I saw was real, and this kind of thing, it may be my psychological effect, and if I say more, it will inevitably seem suspicious.

"Something is wrong with this bride." There was a sound of snow breaking behind me, and I was terrified, wasn't it my delusion just now?

"Oh, why didn't I see that?" Qi Tianyang wondered.

"I don't see it either." Ji Sun was also puzzled.

Hey? Why did I and Poxue feel that something was wrong, but Ji Sun and Qi Tianyang didn't find out?

For some reason, an indescribable panic struck me.

At this time, the landlord of Zhu was already sitting in the first place, with a smile on his face, waiting for a couple of newcomers to worship heaven and earth.

"The auspicious time has come!" The master of ceremonies shouted loudly, "Worship heaven and earth!" ”

A couple of newlyweds, under the guidance of the master of ceremonies, bowed three times to the door.

"Second worship high hall!"

The newcomer turned around and bowed to the big landlord of Zhu.

"Good! Good! Good! The landlord of Zhu said three good things in a row, and looked at the two people who bowed down with a loving face, which showed that he was really happy.

But why does this harmonious scene seem to me to be full of disobedience?

"Husband and wife worship each other!"

"Licheng!"

"Send to the cave!"

I watched the matchmaker and the two mothers-in-law huddle around the bride and walk towards the inner courtyard, and finally thought that something was wrong!

The whole village, including the huge Zhu Mansion, didn't see a single young girl along the way!

Except for me and Poxue who are outsiders, only Miss Zhu is a young woman! There are no young women who are even younger, and the youngest looks to be in their thirties!

This is the weirdest part.

I told Qi Tianyang, Ji Sun, and Poxue what I had discovered, and they suddenly realized, and a solemn look appeared on their faces.

The surroundings were lively and festive, and no one noticed our abnormality, until the big landlord Zhu warmly beckoned us to take a seat.

"Little brother, come on, it's time to take your seat!" The landlord of Zhu was very enthusiastic, and he insisted on pulling Qi Tianyang and Ji Sun to a table with him, and the people at the same table were all old people with a relatively high reputation in the village, just look at the attitude of the villagers towards them.

And Poxue and I were arranged between a group of village women, including Grandma Liu, who accosted us today.

"Let's try to see if we can get something to say." Snow Breaking whispered in my ear that I was doing so, and nodded.

At the dinner table, I was smiling and close to all the aunts and mothers-in-law, "Grandma Liu, the people in your village are really enthusiastic!" ”

"Yes, our Zhu landlord is the most enthusiastic! But there were no outsiders in the village for a while! Grandma Liu said with a smile, and did not forget to praise the big landlord Zhu.

I looked back at Qi Tianyang's table, the big landlord of Zhu had a big belly, although he smiled a little like Maitreya Buddha, but I felt in my heart that he was not a good person.

"Really? Mr. Zhu is indeed very enthusiastic! However, I think that Liu Daoshi is too arrogant. I pursed my lips and pretended to be a little girl.

"Shh Grandma Liu hurriedly made a silent gesture to me, and whispered to me, "Little girl, this is not good to talk nonsense!" Although everyone in our village thinks that this Daoist Liu is very evil, he is Mrs. Zhu's life-saving benefactor! ”

"Isn't today Miss Zhu's big day? Why don't you see Mrs. Zhu? And I heard that you are all called Mrs. Zhu, is this Mr. Zhu still a second lady? I pretended to be curious, even though I was genuinely curious.

"No, our Mrs. Zhu is a gentle and virtuous person, but I don't know what strange illness she had, it is said that she almost died at that time, but she was rescued by this Liu Daxian, but this body has not improved." When the other woman saw that I was curious, she immediately gossiped and sighed.

"Yes, Mrs. Zhu is a good person!" The women at the table sighed together.

"Actually, in addition to Mrs. Zhu, this Master Zhu also has two aunts, oh!" A mother-in-law motioned for us to look at a table not far away, where there were two women who were clearly different from the villagers, "The one in yellow is the second aunt's wife, and the one in the blue is the third aunt's wife." ”

When this mother-in-law talked about the second aunt's wife, she didn't have any expression, and when she talked about the third aunt's wife, I obviously felt disdain from her demeanor and tone.

I was about to continue, but was interrupted by a woman, "Where are you going, two little girls?" Are you here to play? ”

"Yes, by the way, mother-in-law, we just want to find some mysterious places to play, I wonder if you know any legends?" Breaking the snow continued, changing the usual cold, maybe she thought that when I found out something, the daylily should be cold!

"There are a few stories, but I really don't know the legends or anything!" Grandma Liu was modest, and as soon as she opened her mouth, it was a joke about some young scholars, and I was secretly anxious when I heard it, is there really no record of witches chasing corpses and the like?

After listening to Grandma Liu's two stories, I really couldn't bear to listen to them anymore, so I hurriedly interrupted with a smile, "Mother-in-law, you are telling jokes from the book, I want to hear interesting folk tales of your place." ”

Grandma Liu was stunned for a moment, and then muttered, "Isn't this folk tale that?" If you want to tell the story of the legend, you have to find Granny Wu, who is the oldest old man in our village. ”

"Oh?" As soon as I heard it, there was a play, "Then is this Granny Wu here today?" ”

"This Granny Wu is not from our village, she is a subordinate of Zhu's Mansion, a subordinate of the old lady who used to follow Zhu's Mansion, after the old lady left, Master Zhu saw that Granny Wu was helpless, so he asked her to retire in Zhu's Mansion." A lady said.

"Yes, our Master Zhu is really kind-hearted." Then, there was a large list of praises for the big landlord of Zhu.

Poxue and I glanced at each other, and saw the same meaning in each other's eyes, it seemed that this Granny Wu had to pay a visit.

……

After three rounds of drinking, the landlord of Zhu arranged a room for us and asked Junzi to take us over.

"A few guests, this is a guest room arranged for you, if you need anything, just inform me, our lord said, early tomorrow morning, let me take a few guests to visit our village." Junko smiled and sent us to the guest room.

This village is really primitive, and it has the same "wonder" as the Dulong clan, that is, there is no electric light! No toilet! Even the bed is an ancient wooden bed that I have seen on TV!

Hearing the footsteps of Shunzi in the distance, Qi Tianyang blew out the candle, hugged me and lay on the bed, and asked in a low voice, "Have you found anything?" ”

"Yes!" I said, "I found that the women in this village all have a blind worship of this Zhu landlord, and every time they mention the Zhu landlord, they will unceremoniously praise it. Could it be that this Zhu landlord is really so good? ”

"It's so good that I won't marry three wives!" Qi Tianyang sneered, "Not only women, but even men worship this big landlord of Zhu more than enough. ”

"Could it be that this big landlord Zhu has brainwashed these villagers?" I guessed, "Also, except for the fact that the landlord Zhu mentioned his wife and said that there was a hospital outside, these villagers didn't seem to know about the outside and were not curious. "I made another discovery of my own.

"I didn't expect it, it's quite smart." Qi Tianyang touched my head, "If you are really brainwashed, then what is the intention of this place?" ”

"Also, when those women mention Mrs. Zhu, they always praise it, I think this praise is sincere, no, it should be said that this praise is true." Although I have never met Mrs. Zhu, I think she should really be as good as the villagers say, and those villagers obviously really praise the big landlord Zhu, but I don't believe it.

"Well, at the wine table, I tried to mention Mrs. Zhu many times, but this big landlord Zhu always looked reluctant to say more. And the men at the same table also seemed to appreciate Mrs. Zhu. Qi Tianyang echoed me and said, "It seems that we have to find a way to meet this Mrs. Zhu." ”

"And this Miss Zhu," thinking of her, I couldn't help but shiver and shrunk into Qi Tianyang's arms, "It's so weird, I feel scared when I think of her." ”

"It's okay, we'll be able to see tomorrow where this Miss Zhu is sacred." Qi Tianyang patted me on the back and hugged me tighter, "Have you seen the third aunt of the big landlord Zhu?" ”

"See, what's wrong?"

"Do you feel like she's a person?"

"Who?" I was puzzled, trying to recall in my mind, but I couldn't find anyone who looked like me.

"Xiaoman."

"Yikes!" After listening to Qi Tianyang's words, I was a little surprised, "It's really similar, especially her coquettish energy." ”

"But she's different from Xiaoman."

I nodded, and suddenly thought of the last moment, "By the way, there is another person, they all call her Granny Wu, and she is the oldest person in the village." "Anyway, I retold what the villagers told me about Granny Wu to Qi Tianyang.

I don't think my brain is as smart as Qi Tianyang, he can generally think of what I think, and he can think of what I can't think of.

"Go to sleep, we'll see tomorrow during the day." Qi Tianyang patted me on the back and hugged me to sleep as usual.
