"Third sister, open the door and see who's coming!" The fourth aunt shouted excitedly.

Inside the house, there was a crying voice: "Mother, I won't marry, I won't marry, you send the camphor wood box back, send it back!" Woooooo ”

Ximei's desperate cry came from inside the house, and I listened to it, and I was also very distressed.

"Ximei, it's me, Anzhi!" I shouted into the room.

Immediately afterward, the crying in the house suddenly stopped.

"Anzhi? Sister An of Granny Ye's family? Ximei choked up and asked.

When I was a child, Yun He often called me Sister, and this Ximei also shouted, Yun He was jealous and refused, so Ximei added an word in front of Sister.

"Yes, it's me." I replied, "I have come to see you from the provincial capital, and you have not seen me?" ”

"Squeak!"

As soon as I finished speaking, a crack opened in the door, and then I saw a crying red eye, revealing it.

"Sister Ann is really you!" She saw that it was really me, and the door was completely open.

"Woo woo, Sister An, I don't want to marry the Dragon King! I don't want to marry the Dragon King! She immediately threw herself into my arms, crying, and asked me to help her return the dowry.

"Don't mess around! Go back? The dowry of the dragon king, you said to retreat? Where to retreat? The fourth aunt on the side was a little anxious, and immediately interrupted Ximei's words.

Ximei listened, her eyes were red, and she suddenly knelt down for the fourth aunt with a "poof".

"Mother, I will go out to work to support you, you must not marry me to the Dragon King, otherwise, I will be like Sister Ping, I will not see anyone in life and corpse in death." Ximei said to the fourth aunt with red and swollen eyes.

"Don't talk nonsense, Ping'er and they all followed the Dragon King to live a good life, what do you know?" After the fourth aunt finished speaking, she immediately pointed at me again: "An Zhi is also married to the Dragon King, look at her, is she dead?" Aren't you alive and well now? ”

"There are so many sisters, who are alive, and there is only one Sister An, probably the dragon king, seeing that Sister An is good-looking, I will let her go, mother, please, don't ask for a dowry, okay?" Ximei sobbed, her body trembling slightly.

"Get up and eat these." As the fourth aunt spoke, she reached out and wanted to pull Ximei up from the ground first.

But Ximei refused to get up: "Mother, if you promise me to withdraw the dowry, I will get up." ”

"Ximei, it's not easy for my mother to pull your three sisters to grow up, your sisters don't marry well, life is hard, and you can't subsidize the family, your mother is so old, you can't get off the ground, if you don't marry, what will our two eat and drink in the future?" The fourth aunt said, her eyes were also red.

"I'll go out to work to support you, really, mother, I promise to give you all the money I earn." Ximei held the fourth aunt's hand tightly.

The fourth aunt pushed her hand away: "Don't say these useless words, the Qiao sister on Zhuangzi, after going to the provincial capital, never came back, and I don't know if it was abducted by human traffickers, if you are abducted, who will the mother rely on in the future?" ”

"Woohoo." When Ximei heard this, she didn't know how to persuade her mother, so she could only cry.

The fourth aunt stood aside and wiped her tears silently.

A widow who pulls three children to grow up, needless to say, how difficult it has been these years, she really has no support for her old age, and she is helpless to do this.

"Can you show us the Dragon King's dowry?" Long Xuanling looked at the fourth aunt and asked.

The fourth aunt immediately looked at Long Xuanling nervously: "What are you going to do?" ”

"I've always been interested in jade, and if it's good, I'll buy it." Long Xuanling said lightly.

When the fourth aunt heard this, she nodded hurriedly and was about to take Long Xuanling to see the dowry.

Ximei hurriedly got up and stopped the fourth aunt.

"Mother, you can't sell it, if you sell it, you really can't turn back." Ximei cried.

I walked up to Ximei's side, took her cold hand, and soothed, "Ximei, just take a look, it's okay." ”

The fourth aunt took advantage of Ximei's stunned moment, and hurriedly walked towards her house, and Long Xuanling also followed.

Ximei looked anxious, but she had no choice but to let me take her with her and go to the fourth aunt's house.

The house was very simple, with only a clay kang and a few wooden boxes.

Among them, the innermost red box is the most eye-catching.

I know this box, and it's exactly the same as the one that the big bolt brought into the house.

I looked at the box, and then looked at Ximei, who was clinging to me next to me, and I fully understood her mood, back then, I was also crying like this, and I was terrified to the extreme.

It seems that he knows that there is a dead end ahead, but he is forced to marry.

"Look, these are all good things." The fourth aunt said and opened the wooden box.

I also leaned over and looked carefully into the wooden box, which was neatly placed with a pair of gold bracelets, wedding candles, a bag of sugar wrapped in red paper, jade earrings, and a jade dragon-shaped pendant.

This is exactly the same as what the big bolt said, Long Xuanling stretched out his hand, picked up the dragon-shaped pendant, and looked at it carefully.

Without waiting for Long Xuanling to say anything, I saw the clue.

What is engraved on this pendant is not a dragon at all, but a dragon! I've seen this demon in the world, and it's exactly the same as the one on this pendant, and it's lifelike.

However, the material of this jade is extremely ordinary, although I don't know much about jade, but there are obviously a lot of impurities in this jade, and it is not transparent.

"Who said it was a dragon?" Long Xuanling looked at the fourth aunt and asked coldly.

"Why isn't this a dragon, isn't it clear at this moment?" The fourth aunt pointed to the "虺" on the pendant and said seriously.

Long Xuanling shook his head slightly: "This is not a dragon, this is just a dragon, you are mistaken." ”

"What do you know as an outsider?" The fourth aunt, who was still very gentle, suddenly became annoyed and snatched the pendant back.

Then he looked at me and Long Xuanling, probably thinking that we didn't look like we were here to buy something.

Long Xuanling was also refreshed, and directly gave a few silver dollars, and did not twist and turn, and let the fourth aunt take the silver money, and Long Xuanling only asked a few questions.

The fourth aunt looked at the silver money, quickly put it away, and also covered the lid of the mahogany box.

"You ask, you ask." She said cheerfully.

"Who said that the dragon king married? Why is this related to the Dragon King? Long Xuanling was still a little annoyed when he asked this.

He didn't expect that there would be someone who would marry here under his banner.

"What the patriarch said! Moreover, at the back of our village is the Broken Dragon Abyss, and there is a Dragon King living under the Broken Dragon Abyss, and everyone in this village knows it. The fourth aunt said without thinking.

Long Xuanling couldn't help but snort coldly: "Just because this has broken the dragon abyss, it is too far-fetched to conclude that the bride is for the dragon king." ”

"No, our patriarchs have said this, and our genealogy is also clearly written, since more than three hundred years ago, the dragon king asked to marry Yin and give birth to a daughter, and gave a rich dowry." The fourth aunt is still convinced of the "Dragon King's marriage".
