That night, I stayed at Xiaomei's house, Xiaomei is the girl of the three, and the other two boys are not far from her home, and then go home directly after sending the two of us first, and then go home directly, I sat on the train for so long, and sat on the tricycle, running all the way, Xiaomei and I were already tired and almost falling apart, and Xiaomei's family simply said hello, and didn't even care about taking a bath, the two of us fell asleep, only slept until noon the next day, I woke up, when I opened my eyes, I found that Xiaomei was no longer there, I don't know when she got up early.

I got up in shame, scolded myself in my heart, how can I be so lazy in someone else's house, and then quickly took out my toiletries and prepared to find a place to wash, but I looked around and didn't find the bathroom of their house, I was anxious like a headless fly, maybe my voice was too loud, it actually alarmed Xiaomei's mother, Xiaomei's mother saw me holding a toothbrush quilt in her hand, and immediately understood, and said to me enthusiastically: "Girl, you want to wash up, Auntie brought you." "She spoke in a stronger local accent, but fortunately, I chatted with Xiaomei all the way, and I barely understood.

I followed Xiaomei's mother to the place to wash my face, it turned out to be outside, there was a well here, you can directly draw water next to the well to wash your face, Xiaomei's mother helped me bring the water up, I quickly washed my face, but I didn't have time to say thank you, Xiaomei's mother immediately brought me a bowl and said to me enthusiastically: "Girl, eat quickly." ”

When I woke up, I was indeed hungry, and quickly said, "Thank you." Xiaomei's mother saw that I was eating so happily, she was also very happy, moved a stool and sat next to me, and began to chat with me, I was concentrating on eating noodles, I answered whatever she asked, completely brainless, when she asked me very casually when I asked what would come here to play.

I just swallowed a big mouthful of noodles and said directly to her, "I want to come to your village's wedding." After listening to my words, her face immediately changed, I thought she didn't hear clearly, and deliberately slowed down her speech to explain to her, I said to her: "It's the one Xiaomei said, it's very grand, the whole village can participate in the wedding, I heard that the bride's family is the one of the big families in the village." ”

When she heard me say this, her face did not improve, but her face was gloomy, and she was very unhappy and muttered to herself: "Nonsense, how can they mess around, can you tell outsiders about this?" I looked at her secretly, it seems that there is a secret in this wedding, it is a wedding forced by both parents, no matter what it is, it is none of her business, why is she so excited. I thought to myself, and at the same time I was thinking about my own calculations.

At this time, she really asked me tentatively: "Girl, what did Xiaomei tell you?" I smiled at her and said innocently, "She told me everything, about the groom actually disliking the bride, and some things that happened between them, and others." "Actually, I don't know what's going on, but maybe I can say something like that?

Sure enough, after listening to my words, her face became solemn, she looked at me carefully, and then said to me: "Girl, in fact, you people outside the mountain should not be involved in these things, I advise you, it is better to leave as soon as possible, it is not good for you to stay here." "It's strange, it's just a wedding in the old feudal society, why did she react so much, and Xiaomei They seemed to be secretive when they talked to me, and they didn't tell me everything.

I remained silent, but still insisted: "Auntie, do I just want to see this wedding, I'm very curious." Seeing that I insisted, Xiaomei's mother sighed and said, "It's all sin, what's so beautiful, if it weren't for Xiao Peng's child, a good girl wouldn't be ......" "It won't be anything?" I asked right away.

Realizing that she had lost her mouth, Xiaomei's mother immediately stopped the topic, no matter how I asked, she didn't want to say, it seemed that she didn't believe that I knew the truth completely, she was still very taboo about this matter, she pulled me and said, "Since you don't want to go, you want to stay to watch this wedding, then you have to remember, you must not talk nonsense after you go out, otherwise it is easy to cause murder, and you stay here in our village, you still have to be cautious in your words and deeds, and try not to mention anything about the wedding." ”

Seeing that she didn't want to say it, but instead explained me such things, I just had to honestly agree. But in my heart, I still think that there are indeed some unknown secrets about this wedding.

I had to change the subject, and I asked her, "Auntie, where has Xiaomei gone, I haven't seen her since the morning." Hearing me ask Xiaomei, her expression was even more strange, she smiled at me, and then said to me very perfunctorily: "Xiaomei has something to do, you play by yourself, and she will come back in the evening." But this was not the answer I wanted at all, I still pretended not to understand what she was saying, and insisted on asking, "Auntie, I want to know where Xiaomei has gone, I'm so bored." ”

Seeing that I insisted, my aunt sighed, and then said to me: "Xiaoqing will have a wedding the day after tomorrow, and Xiaomei will come over to help." Xiaoqing should be the bride's name, but after listening to her words, I was very puzzled, I asked her: "Auntie, are you familiar with the bride's family?" Otherwise, why do you need Xiaomei to go to their house to help? "Listening to Xiaomei's meaning on the train, it seems that she doesn't have any friendship with the bride?

Seeing that I asked reluctantly, Xiaomei's mother's face wrinkled, and she patiently explained to me: "The custom in our village is that when the wedding is held, it is necessary for all unmarried girls to help chant the scriptures, you go and rest, don't ask again." So saying, she went away, and I was very interested in what she was saying, which I had never said.

Seeing that she walked into the living room, I also walked in, I looked around, it seemed that I could not go through the main door, I pretended to be very sleepy, stretched my waist, and said to her: "Auntie, I am sleepy, I went to sleep in the room." Hearing me say that I was going to sleep, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and said to me, "Okay, okay, you go to sleep quickly, don't inquire about these bad things anymore." I nodded at her and walked into the room.

As soon as I entered the room, I immediately locked them, I remembered that there was a window in this room, and sure enough, I came to the side of the window, opened the window, and was ready to jump down directly, but I didn't expect this house to be designed so unreasonably, obviously on the first floor, but the window was actually more than 2 meters high, I straddled the window, looked at the half-human tall weeds below, exhaled, and jumped straight down, fortunately, the weeds really played a protective role, I got up from the ground, Except for a little skin on his body and two grasses hanging from his hair, there was no other problem.

I pulled the grass off my hair and rushed outside, but when I reached the village path, I realized that I was purely impulsive, but I forgot to ask a crucial question - I didn't know where the bride's home was.

I looked around blankly, not knowing which direction to go at all, and at this moment, I happened to see an uncle with a rolled trouser leg walking towards here, he was still carrying a farm tool on his shoulder, he must have just finished working in the field, and I saw someone who could ask for directions, I rushed up excitedly and stopped in front of him. The uncle was startled by my sudden rush out, his dark face shrunk into a ball, and he looked at me innocently.

I looked at him, smiled at him awkwardly, and said, "Uncle, do you know how to get to Xiaoqing's house?" ”

When the uncle heard my words, his eyes widened in confusion, and he asked me, "You are not a doll in our village, are you?" What are you doing with her? "I was just about to say that I was Xiaomei's friend and came to find Xiaomei, when suddenly a thought turned in my mind, and I told my uncle: "I'm from the town, I'm Xiaoqing's friend, and I'm here to attend her wedding." She's the day after tomorrow's wedding, so I'm going to live at her house today. The uncle listened to my words and said suspiciously, "Why did you invite all the people from outside the village?" But when he heard that I had even told me the date of the wedding, he didn't doubt me, he pointed me in the direction and said to me, "Keep going inside until you see a house that looks the biggest and best, and that is Xiaoqing's house." ”

I thanked him, he waved his hand, and hurriedly left, I walked all the way along the way that the uncle pointed out to me, and sure enough, I saw a house in the distance, it looked like it had been some years, but it was precisely because of the years, so it seemed to be more famous than other families in the village, and it was really a big family in the village.

I hurriedly walked there, wondering what secrets this wedding hid in, at this time, I suddenly saw Xiaomei walking out of the house, and some girls also walked with her, it seems that Xiaomei's mother didn't lie to me, I looked at the house in front of me, I wanted to go in and find out, but when I saw Xiaomei walk out, it is estimated that she is going home now, but if she arrives home before me, see that I am not there, That directly exposed the fact that I sneaked out, and I thought of the fact that I had promised her on the train to "say more, ask more", or to keep my promise, so I gave up the idea of going on an adventure again.

When I turned to leave, I saw a person standing in the distance in the high pavilion of the house, she was leaning on the balcony and looking down, is this the legendary bride, I want to take a closer look at her, but suddenly found that she was gone, I guess she was in, I looked at the empty building, quickly looked away, and rushed towards Xiaomei's house.

In order not to be discovered by them, when I went back, I still climbed the window to go up, it was easy to jump out of the window, as long as I was ruthless, my eyes were closed, and I jumped down immediately, but it was very difficult to climb the window, it was two meters high, and there was no place to step on, and the weeds below were soft, and it didn't work at all.

Just as I was sitting on the window, I heard Xiaomei talking to her mother, and she asked her mother, "Mom, where is Sister Liu?" Then I heard my aunt say to her, "She said she was sleepy and sleeping in her room." Then I heard her deliberately low voice, and she said to Xiaomei reproachfully: "You kid too, why do you always bring people from outside to the village?" Is this kind of thing known to outsiders? ”

While they were talking, I was already hiding under the quilt, I lay quietly, and heard Xiaomei explain to her mother: "Mom, of course I know, so I didn't tell her completely, but she said she wanted to play, and I didn't know how to refuse, so I brought her here." And you can rest assured, ordinary people can't get stuck. Then they whispered something again, but I couldn't hear it clearly.

I frowned and pondered about it, and at this moment, I heard a "creak", and I knew that it was Xiaomei who pushed open the door and walked in.
