Remember [34 Chinese Network .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
Qingyang Village, which is only ten miles away from the village where Yaya and her family live, belongs to the same township.
Xiao Ting didn't know much about the official rank here, but she knew that those were not big officials, so she discussed with the woman and wanted to chase after her.
At this time, many people came to the courtyard, obviously not just arriving, and heard what they had just said.
On the one hand, he persuaded the women not to cause trouble, claiming that they could not afford to provoke those people.
The woman was very much in favor of Xiao Ting chasing her, no matter what the result was, it was the right thing to snatch her daughter back first.
But someone said that they were not the only ones in the village who had daughters, and it was her blessing that Yaya could be chosen.
It turned out that Yaya was not married to a person, but the patron saint of ten miles and eight towns.
This god is not another god, it is an ancient temple, and Yaya only needs to serve in the ancient temple when she marries in the past, until she is old.
"What's the difference between this and being a widow?" It was the first time Xiao Ting had heard such news, at least in the 23rd century, there was no such feudal and backward place.
There will be no such ridiculous ideas.
Xiao Ting has been here for almost two years, and she has been in contact with either deceit or happiness, and she rarely has contact with the life at the bottom, what she didn't expect was that she ran away unexpectedly this time and encountered this kind of thing.
Of course, she couldn't sit idly by.
From the gossip of these people, she learned everything about the matter.
It turned out that as early as the year Yaya was born, she had been chosen by the squire, saying that she would marry the patron saint in the future.
That's why Yaya is different, she is raised at home by different people, and she is taught culture, so she understands so many things.
Xiao Ting said, how can an eight-year-old girl know what she likes and dislikes?
As long as Xiao Ting thinks of such a good little girl, she lives her life guarding a stone temple, no matter how she thinks about it, she feels desolate.
So she went to the woman, and told her, regardless of what the others said, that if she wanted to save her, she should go with her, or she would go by herself.
Moreover, it will be too late if she doesn't go, but although the woman is anxious, her legs don't obey the call, and at this moment, she is more and more scared by Xiao Ting's words, and she almost chokes out in a hurry.
In the end, a young man who was closest to them stepped forward and told Xiao Ting that he would drive the ox cart to send her over, and he might be able to catch up.
Xiao Ting didn't say a word, so he let him set up an ox cart, and went with three guys, plus Xiao Ting, and chased forward.
But no matter how fast they were, when they arrived at Qingyang Village, it was already an hour later.
There is no need to inquire at all, where it is lively, Xiao Ting and the three young men ran directly over.
When they got there, it was late, and when the worship was over, the whole temple was in full swing, and everyone was toasting to each other, drinking and eating freely.
There are a lot of people sitting here, coming and going.
Xiao Ting and the others were obviously young, and no one took them seriously, so they didn't stop them and let them walk in.
"Let's split up."
One of the young men was fifteen or sixteen years old, a little older than Xiao Ting, and he looked very clever, beckoning a few people to disperse.
This temple is very ancient and old, Xiao Ting stepped into the atrium and looked at it, and felt uncomfortable.
I don't know if it's because of the location of the building or what, but she feels that the yin here is extremely heavy.
Not suitable for people to stay here for a long time.
can listen to those people outside say that Yaya will live here for the rest of her life in the future.
It's just a sin, and she can't let the maid stay here.
Without encountering any obstacles, Xiao Ting kept walking in and found Yaya directly.
"Sister, why are you here?"
Today's girl is dressed up very well.
The red wedding dress, with plum blossom makeup painted on her forehead, is lit with gouache, and her lips are red, lining her white face very delicately.
It's like two people from yesterday's wild girl.
At this moment, she was sitting on the edge of the bed, and she was very surprised to see Xiao Ting, she didn't expect to see her here.
Her eyes widened, and then she smiled, and her eyes immediately curved into a crescent moon.
It's a pretty good-looking beauty.
"You still ask me? You're getting married today, why didn't you tell me? ”
Xiao Ting saw that she was intact, and she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but when she thought of today's incident, she was a little depressed.
Yaya shrugged her shoulders and said, "You can also see, I didn't marry anyone, there is nothing to be thankful about, and I don't want you to be unhappy, so I won't tell you." ”
In fact, what Yaya wants to say is that it is best to meet each other in peace.
Xiao Ting was a little unhappy.
"Come with me."
Xiao Ting saw that she was so sensible, and she didn't know what to say for an instant.
There were no outsiders guarding it, and the room was empty, with nothing but a necessary table, chair, and bed.
There was no trace of joy, only the maid was wearing a fiery red wedding dress and sitting on the edge of the bed.
There was not the slightest hint of displeasure on her face.
"I'm fine here, sister don't worry, from the day I became governor, I knew that my future destination was here."
She shook her head, her expression was very relaxed, but when such words came out of her mouth, it was very sad.
"You don't look like a fateful person."
Xiao Ting lowered her face and asked her to go with her again.
Yaya didn't follow.
"Sister, I know you are for my good, but if I don't stay here, my mother and aunt and uncle will have no way to live."
That's the point.
"Why? What's their business? Obviously, what Xiao Ting heard at Yaya's house just now is not the whole story.
Before she could explain it, someone broke in.
Seeing that there were still outsiders here, I was stunned for a moment.
It was a tall man who had drunk some wine, his face was slightly red, and he had a small flask in his hand.
"Who are you?"
After he reacted, his face sank, apparently not drunk.
Yaya stepped forward to block Xiao Ting and said, "She is my sister, and she is here to give me a ride." ”
"Your sister, why haven't I heard that you have another sister?"
"She is a relative of mine and lives in the Imperial City."
Yaya said this, obviously to let the man relax, lest he do anything to hurt Xiao Ting.
also indirectly revealed Xiao Ting's identity, which is not something that these people can offend.
"Do you have relatives living in the Imperial City?"
Dahan obviously didn't believe it, otherwise Yaya wouldn't have come here as a bride.
But at this moment, he didn't want to do much, and the most important thing was to complete the ritual in front of him first.
"I'm here to tell you, get ready, and in another hour, we'll send you down."
Before leaving, Dahan warned Yaya not to play tricks, otherwise she would know the consequences.
Yaya nodded with a smile, and after Dahan left, she faced Xiao Ting and said, "Sister, I know you are a good person, after I leave, please take my mother out of there." ”
"Why?"
Xiao Ting wanted to ask, why didn't she ask her to take her away, or take her mother away?
"Actually, I know that my mother has always wanted to go to the imperial city, maybe my father lives there, but she never tells me where the location is, and she never lets me go, I think, maybe I look very similar to my father, maybe my father is a prisoner, afraid of being recognized, or or, my father has another family, and my mother and I are just the side that he can't see, but my mother misses my father very much."
When Yaya said these words, she didn't have any special emotions, as if she was telling someone else's story.
It's just that his voice is a little low, and he lowers his head, "Actually, I know that my mother has been staying here, but it's because she doesn't want to leave me here alone." ”
"Then your mother can take you away."
I can't live anymore, why don't you leave?
"I can't just get out of there."
Yaya explained, "Maybe you don't believe it, but the two of us sat there yesterday and chatted, and there were people following us behind us, and it was impossible for me to leave their sight." ”
It's not that they haven't escaped, it's just that they can't bear the result, and Yaya finally concluded, "People must learn to accept their fate." ”
"And my life is here."
Xiao Ting looked left and right, and looked up and down, but she didn't see the difference, what is unusual about Yaya, which is worthy of such care from these people?
After the three guys were found, Xiao Ting discussed it with them.
Decided not to leave for a while, to see what the hell they were going to do?
Because the big man asked Yaya to prepare before leaving, and sent her down immediately.
I don't know where to send her.
So they decided to follow and find out, what do they want Yaya to do?
It wasn't until night fell, and it was completely dark outside, that someone came looking for it.
The people who came were four mothers-in-law.
Seeing Xiao Ting and them here, they were just stunned, but they didn't care.
Because Yaya has already explained that they are their relatives.
The four mothers-in-law personally put on makeup on the maid, covered her head, and then helped her to walk out.
Walk through the heavy ancestral temple and walk inside.
The more Xiao Ting walked inside, the more uncomfortable she became, and the dull feeling became more and more obvious.
Her body subconsciously resisted.
I don't want to go on at all.
This ancestral temple is very deep, and I don't know where it leads, and after walking through the four major halls, I came to the deepest part, and what appeared in front of them was a stone mountain, and there was a stone gate at the bottom.
There were a lot of people standing on either side, divided into two rows, with torches in their hands, shouting loudly, and not knowing what was being said in their mouths, as if it were certain syllables.
Xiao Ting couldn't hear it, the three guys followed them, the so-called newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, maybe that's what they said.
A few guys were very surprised, and they were curious about everything.
Xiao Ting got in front of the maid, and a few of them followed everyone into the stone gate, and they didn't go far before they came to an empty hall.
The first thing you see is a stone statue.
It was a very tall figure carved in a very distorted pose.
It is called a human figure because it has two feet and hands, and those eyes are very charming.
It had three heads, the one in the middle, facing the crowd, and the others scattered around the side.
