Chapter 54: The Consequences
Hu Xueli probably heard the sound of the door opening, so he hurriedly opened his mouth and apologized.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I didn't mean to, give it back to you, don't come to me, don't come!" Hu Xueli's voice trembled.
Long Xuanling walked to his bedside and lifted Hu Xueli's futon, only to see Hu Xueli, kneeling on the bed, lying on his stomach, holding something in both hands and lifting it high in front of Long Xuanling.
Long Xuanling looked at the thing and didn't reach out to pick it up, but looked at Hu Xueli indifferently and asked, "More than that, right?" ”
When the other party heard that this voice was wrong, he raised his head and saw that it was actually Long Xuanling, so he looked at Long Xuanling in surprise, just like yesterday, unable to say a word.
When I saw it, he was holding a white butterfly jade pendant in his hand, and the middle of the butterfly jade pendant was red, as if it was stained with blood.
"Since you have accepted her things, you must fulfill her wishes, otherwise, she will keep pestering you." Long Xuanling looked at Hu Xueli solemnly.
After Hu Xueli heard this, his lips trembled, but he didn't say a word.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps upstairs, and when he heard the movement, it should be the village chief, Long Xuanling said to Hu Xueli, if you want us to help, go to the shop to find him, and after speaking, he left through the window with me.
When the two of them returned to the shop, Mingyue and Yunhe had already fallen asleep on the table, and we could only make do here tonight.
It's just that when I look at Hu Xueli's appearance, the yang energy seems to be insufficient, and I'm afraid that I will be seriously ill in the near future.
"Everything is fate, there is a cause to have an effect, and the evil result is planted by himself, and he should also taste the bitterness." Long Xuanling was not in a hurry.
He hugged me and put me to sleep in his arms.
I glanced sideways at Mingyue and them, and Long Xuanling stretched out his hand in front of my eyes: "Sleep, it's okay to rest, you're tired too." ”
His voice was soft, it was clear that it was in his ears, but it seemed to come from afar.
I closed my eyes in a daze, and slept very peacefully, and the next day, it was raining heavily, and we were still sitting in the shop waiting for Zhang Yufen to come over.
However, I saw a lot of villagers coming and going outside this shop, it was raining today, and they didn't harvest rice, what were they busy with? I randomly asked a villager and found out that the marriage of the village chief's family had been advanced.
And, early in the morning, Hu Xueli took someone to the neighboring village to pick up the bride.
"Really?" I nodded, thinking to myself that the village chief still didn't believe us and wanted to use Chongxi to solve this matter.
I turned my head to look at Long Xuanling, but Long Xuanling poured a glass of water and handed it to me: "Drink." ”
As he spoke, I looked down and saw that it was a glass of blood water, which was extremely fragrant, and I immediately took a bite and swallowed it.
"It should come, it will come." Long Xuanling looked at the torrential rain outside and said lightly.
"When are we leaving? That Zhang Yufen shouldn't come to us, right? Mingyue asked while eating dry food.
"Wait a little longer, with the little money we have, I'm afraid there is no way to send you to Yaozhou." I looked at Mingyue and said.
Mingyue sighed when she heard this, blaming herself for being useless: "I knew that I would not be so embarrassed to take something in the living tomb casually at that time." ”
"The gold and silver treasures in the tomb of the living, you have a life to take it, but you are afraid that you will not have a life to spend it." After Long Xuanling finished speaking, he pulled me back to sit on the wooden chair.
And I silently looked at the people who were running in the heavy rain, and the bad premonition in my heart became stronger and stronger.
Before noon, we heard the sound of gongs and drums, as if the bride had already entered the village, but instead of passing in front of the shop, she walked around the village, setting off firecrackers and sprinkling sugar into the villagers' houses.
Although we didn't see Xijiao, however, some people specially went around here and sprinkled a handful of candy into this shop, saying that it was a custom, as long as the door was open, they had to give candy, sweet!
Mingyue picked up the candy on the ground and put it on the table, but she didn't have the heart to eat it.
I have been listening to the sound of gongs and drums, and it seems that I have begun to eat and drink.
Because we were not welcomed by the village chief, no one came to invite us this time, so we sat and rested in this shop.
Yun He sat against the corner, although he didn't speak, but he was not as listless as yesterday, I just thought she was resting well in the past two days, so she was a little more energetic.
As night fell, the rain continued to fall, accompanied by thunder and lightning from time to time.
I looked at Yun He, when I was a child, she was most afraid of thunder, and every time there was thunder, she would get into my arms, calling "Sister, I'm afraid".
And now, she was expressionless, her eyes slightly closed, as if she didn't hear the rumbling sound.
"Tonight, I guess there will be no trouble." It was late at night, but Long Xuanling still stood with his hands in his hands, standing at the door of the shop, as if waiting for something.
"It's coming." Long Xuanling still looked outside the door and whispered.
Sure enough, as soon as he had finished saying this, I heard a very rapid footstep, and the footsteps, all the way towards it, sounded a little noisy, and there should be several people running in the rain at the same time.
I also stood up and walked to Long Xuanling's side, and several uncles wearing hats and robes soon appeared in front of us.
"How many, how many are demon hunters? Right? The uncle who was standing at the front asked breathlessly.
Long Xuanling nodded calmly, those uncles didn't say a word, they dragged Long Xuanling into the rain, and I shouted to Mingyue behind me: "You guys are waiting here, we will be back soon!" ”
After saying that, I caught up with them and followed them to the village chief's house in the heavy rain.
The village chief's house still has a happy couplet, and the window is pasted with a happy word window flower, which is very festive, but now the people standing in the hall are all worried.
You must know that it is already the third watch in the middle of the night, and there are so many people gathered in their house, there must be nothing good.
"Let's see, what's wrong with the village chief!" As the uncles spoke, they pointed to the chaise longue in the living room, where I saw the village chief lying there, his face already purple.
Zhang Yufen stood aside with tears in her eyes, saying that she had eaten the wedding wine tonight and sent off the guests, and then she was about to fall asleep and found that her husband had not returned to the room, so she went downstairs to look for it, and found that the village chief had taken in less air and more out of breath, and at first he rolled his eyes and shouted ghosts, ghosts, ghosts.
Zhang Yufen called the uncle next door and invited us to come here to have a look.
"What about Hu Xueli?" Long Xuanling didn't care about the village chief, but asked Hu Xueli.
Everyone was stunned, and then looked in the direction of the new house, this little couple was so much movement outside, and they didn't come out to see?
