Chapter 117: A Bowl of Love (4)
"Okay, Xianggong!" The bride quickly went down to make a pot of tea for the stranger, and prepared the best snacks in the house, so that she could be entertained.
The stranger glanced at the bride as she poured her tea, and asked the groom, "May I ask what is?" ”
The groom replied: "Contemptible, this is my wife, who has been with me here for many years, and is also my unswerving lover in this life. Childe is new to the city, the first time I meet, what is the name of Childe? ”
The stranger took a sip of tea, looked at the bride and groom and replied, "Well, yes, not bad." It doesn't matter what I call me, you don't need to remember me, you just need to remember yourselves. ”
Although he didn't know what he meant, the groom had a hint of anticipation on his face and asked, "Son, are you here to bless us?" ”
Once again, the groom expressed his idea of getting married: "We want to get married, but we have been struggling to find someone who is willing to sincerely bless us, so the wedding has not been held as we wish, which has always been our biggest regret." Childe, would you like to attend our wedding? Really bless us? Witness our love? Shall we be married? ”
The stranger rejected him and said truthfully to the bridegroom, "I know you need blessings, but the person you are looking for is not me, and I am not the person you want." ”
The groom was very disappointed after hearing this, after so many years, a person finally came today, but he didn't come to bless him, should he have to wait for a few more years? Is it true that no one will bless them? Are they destined to never get married?
If they miss this opportunity, when will they wait for the next one? The groom couldn't hide his sadness and almost wanted to cry.
But fortunately, the bride never leaves, and the bride accompanies him, understands him, and comforts him. The bride stood beside him, and the two held each other's hands tightly, and although they were very aggrieved and couldn't hold back their tears, the groom couldn't help but shed tears.
As long as no one comes to bless them for a day, they can't get married for a day, and their regret will continue forever.
However, there is no hope, and it is with hope that he comes. This brings us to the point of his visit, which is to give them a good thing, a special gift.
The masked stranger sympathized with their plight and gave them a contract. This contract is a gift he brought, called the contract of death!
The stranger took the contract and said to them, "Do not be disappointed, I am not the one you are looking for to bless, but I can help you fulfill your wishes." As long as you sign this contract, I can help you find the right people to do for your long-awaited wedding. But one thing to be clear, after the wedding is done, you will die. ”
The stranger also told them to rest assured that none of them would die so soon until the person who blessed them arrived, and all they had to do was wait for that person to appear.
After saying that, the stranger put the contract on the table and explained to them that as long as they think about it, they can sign the contract, and the contract will automatically take effect.
The strange man finished explaining and left the contract with them, and then disappeared.
The content of the contract is threefold:
1. Give me your life.
2. Give me your freedom.
3. Give me your soul.
And so it went after three years.
At this time, the groom is already middle-aged, forty years old, and the bride, who is younger than him, is also in her thirties, and their greatest wish at this time is to get married.
The wedding is very important to them, it is very sacred and serious, only after the marriage is completed, they are the real husband and wife, their love and life are thus complete, and they die without regrets. This desire is getting stronger day by day. They believe that after getting married during their lifetime, they will not be separated even after death, and they will be together forever in this life and this life.
But it's a pity that the wedding is still not completed, there is still no one who believes in love, and there is still no one to bless them.
So they realized that their wedding was impossible. Living in this troubled world, it is impossible for them to find someone who believes in love and sincerely blesses them in their lifetime.
Then he remembered the stranger's death contract, and after the bride and groom had finished deliberating, the next day they had prepared their new house and dressed themselves, and finally signed the death contract.
After the contract of death was signed, they were taken to a burial chamber, which is now the same burial chamber, including the furniture of the house.
Their lives will be extended indefinitely until the blessed ones appear. They will wait here until that person appears, completes the wedding, and they will die.
They can roam the area, and the mummies and ghosts will stay away from them when they see them, so the ghosts don't dare to approach this place. And there is also an ancient divine beast called "Adult" who is responsible for watching over them, but this divine beast is very lazy and sleeping, and generally does not appear.
"I just didn't expect that it would take two thousand years to wait in this place, until today, we finally waited for you. Ladies and gentlemen, you are finally here. The groom said.
Tong Xiaolai's eyes were filled with tears, and his throat was a little choked......
It turns out that this is the love of a bowl of rice. A bowl of love, a thousand years at a glance, true love remains the same, unswerving belief is only because the moment they see each other, they have given all their lives to each other and to love.
"Today is a happy day, how can I cry? How am I, why am I crying......" Tong Xiaolai held back his tears, and the first tears had already fallen.
So many years ago, their love was passed down in the form of jokes, and the elders at that time would always tell their children a joke, saying that there was a fool once upon a time, and he actually believed in love, and said that their love started because of a bowl of rice.
That's it, their concept of love, as well as their love story, has been passed down from mouth to mouth in a way that has been ridiculed and satirized. It wasn't until one day that people gradually realized that they gradually understood their love, regarded their love as the best example, and praised them as the first person to open up love. Their love has influenced generations of people because of this.
The groom once said that a bowl of rice for a love is worth it.
"Ahh The old man interrupted, the old man realized an "adult", the 'adult' you just said, what is the ancient divine beast? The old man asked.
The bridegroom replied, "Your Excellency is a huge ancient beast sent to watch over us, it has four thick thighs, a huge body, and terrible fangs, it is so fierce that everyone is afraid of it, and no one dares to provoke it easily. It's lazy and sleepy, and the last time we saw it was two hundred years ago. ”
"I don't want to listen to that ancient beast, I just want to hear about your love." Tong Xiaolai said.
The groom said, "Oh, it's not difficult, I can give you a CD of the past and listen to our love at that time." ”
"It's cold." Tong Xiaolai said.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you are hungry, let me wait to prepare some meals, and let's talk while eating." Said the groom.
"Okay, let's help too." Tong Xiaolai was interested, rolled up his sleeves, and was about to move.
"Oh, it's all farmhouse dishes. There are greens, big greens, small greens, and greens, cabbage, cabbage, cabbage, and cabbage, and ......"Tong Xiaolai loves this kind of vegetable in the small courtyard of the farmhouse."
Tong Xiaolai, Fatty, and Lao Yi also helped to pick vegetables, cook rice, and cook.
Tong Xiaolai and the three also helped the bride and groom kill a goose together, and Tong Xiaolai volunteered to pluck the feathers. Tong Xiaolai has never killed a goose, this is the first time he plucked the goose, the fat man and the old man also came to help, the three of you and I are one by one, and they are in a hurry. Tired of wiping his forehead, he shook his hand directly, and there were goose feathers sticking everywhere on his face and body.
The three of them also used goose feathers to make trouble, you dump me, I dump you, and the goose feathers are flying all over the sky, and it seems that they don't want to do well.
When cooking, Tong Xiaolai volunteered and insisted on helping to light the fire. It is a primitive firewood fire, and it needs to be fanned constantly to make the fire vigorous.
"Ahem, ahem...... cough cough cough ...... "The fire is burning, and I was choked to death at the same time, and my face was black."
The groom felt sorry for Tong Xiaolai and said to him, let me come.
No, Tong Xiaolai insisted on helping, and he didn't want to be idle for a moment. He also said that today was their day of great joy, and that this kind of menial work should be entrusted to the three of them, and that he could overcome this small problem.
The smoke from the fire went up, and disappeared after hitting the stone wall on his head, Tong Xiaolai felt very strange, this wall would actually smoke by itself, but he didn't expect this wall to be a "smoker".
After the groom cleaned the goose, the bride put on an apron and took charge of the spoon herself, as the so-called upper hall and lower kitchen, and the role change from the hall to the kitchen is also the distance of an apron, although they are still wearing wedding clothes.
Tong Xiaolai was in charge of lighting the fire, throwing the wood into it, and fanning the fire inside, the fat man thought it was fun to fan, so the two of them fanned together, and their faces were dirty together.
It didn't take long to say that, fortunately, the bride's cooking skills were exquisite, and the two of them didn't let the dish collapse when they burned the fire like this.
After the bride serves the dishes, the first course is already cooked.
The roasted goose with all the color and flavor is out of the pot, and Tong Xiaolai, who was choked by the smoke, can be said to have contributed a lot. It is said that this goose has been with them for two thousand years, and it was originally intended to be used to entertain guests on the wedding day, but I didn't expect to wait for two thousand years. However, from the moment the pot was put down, the goose's mission had been accomplished.
Immediately after the second course, the third course...... Tong Xiao Lai Sai firewood, fan fan, and burn the fire vigorously.
The cauldron kept coming from the sound of "zilazila", and under the bride's exquisite cooking skills, other dishes were soon out of the pot. It's time to eat.
