Chapter 13: A Hasty Wedding
During the car, recalling Zhang Dezhu's words, I was faintly uneasy. At the same time, I was also thinking about how many lies there were in Shen Xue's words.
First of all, the other things she concealed were only to reveal Zhang Dezhu's affairs, or it may be that she realized that Zhang Dezhu would come to me, so she made up such a lie, not wanting me to have any contact with Zhang Dezhu.
It's a pity that I can't see the human head now, and I can't be sure if what I saw at the beginning was a hallucination. Li Chuang, Gao Chuan, their situation is also unknown, is it really as Zhang Dezhu said, someone wants to kill them?
But as I thought before, now sandwiched between Shen Xue and Zhang Dezhu, even if all I hear is a lie, it is better than not knowing anything.
Leaning on the chair, the jade piece on the chest released a warm current, which was melting into the body little by little, this situation was discovered in the hospital, and my body was able to recover so quickly, which seems to have a certain relationship with it.
Colliding with that black shadow on Kunlun Mountain, it was like opening something on my body, but unfortunately I can't figure it out now, so I can only go home and ask my grandfather.
In the afternoon, the car arrived at the county seat, and I didn't immediately look for a car to go home, but walked around the city. Zhang Dezhu said that I had to take precautions, and after three hours of turning around, I made sure that I was not being followed, so I chartered a car and went straight to my home.
When I got home at about seven o'clock in the evening, my grandfather was still weaving bamboo baskets in the yard by the light in the hall, I pushed the door in, startled him, looked up and saw that it was me, hurriedly threw away the work in my hand, walked over and stood in front of me, looked up and down three times, and then happily pulled me into the house.
I just stepped into the threshold with my front feet, and a girl came out of the kitchen, and then I remembered the matter of marrying my daughter-in-law, I thought it was a joke, but I didn't think that the eldest girl was really waiting at home.
Grandpa saw me stunned at the door, and introduced with a smile: "Her name is Su Xiaomei, and she is what I told you on the phone, your daughter-in-law who has not passed the door!" ”
Grandpa is going to force me to a dead end, not to give me a choice, the girl's family is living at home, if there is no explanation for this matter, it is inevitable that people will talk about it.
The love between men and women is still unknown territory for me, looking at Su Xiaomei with a red face, looking at the age of eighteen or nineteen years old, with bright eyes and bright teeth, and a white face, in rural terms, she is a big girl.
It's just that he is wearing a little rustic, with a floral gown on the upper body and a pair of washed white cotton pants on the bottom. The hands are a little rough, and there is a clear difference from the face, at first glance, it is a girl from a poor family, diligent in grooming, so the face is well maintained, but there is a lot of farm work, and the hands can't take care of it.
I sighed secretly, she has already entered the house, if this marriage is withdrawn, she can leave, she stays in the village, not only is she pointed at by others, but even if she is married in the future, she will not be able to stand up to her waist and be angry everywhere.
Su Xiaomei's face was red, not timid at all, she looked at me generously, and shouted crisply: "Brother Chen Xiu." ”
I answered, nodding awkwardly, as if I had said hello. turned around and pulled his grandfather to his room, closed the door and complained: "You are old and confused, invite other people's daughters to the house, how will she see people in the future?" ”
"Little rabbit cub, you are still not satisfied with such a good girl, is it possible that you want to be a bachelor for the rest of your life?" Grandpa also lost his temper, and when he heard that I didn't want to get married, he poked my head and said, "This marriage, you have to get married, and if you don't agree, you have to get married." ”
"Be quiet!"
I rubbed my temples, simply didn't think about it for now, and reached out to pull out the jade piece on my chest, grandpa saw the jade piece, his face suddenly changed, and he asked in a deep voice: "What?" Got something unclean? ”
"Hmm!" I lit a cigarette and told him about Kunlun Mountain from beginning to end.
Grandpa had never been to the city in his life, but the box at home proved that he knew no less than I did.
He paced back and forth, as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he clapped his hands and said, "You and Su Xiaomei will get married tonight!" ”
"So urgent? What age is it now, so let me get acquainted with her and get along for a while! ”
I have my own plans, in the Kunlun Mountains, when those people fell from the sky, I stuffed the book of Qin Tianjian that I picked up in the cave to Liu Tiande, and now I just want to find out what the stone piece has to do with my father, and then I will leave.
After all, Zhang Dezhu's words made me very uneasy, staying at home would only affect my grandfather.
As for Su Xiaomei, I will leave her the retirement money when I leave, and with this money, she can also go to the city to make a living. With her appearance, she will definitely be able to marry a good family in the future.
But get married tonight...... As long as I visit the church, I can't get out if I want to.
"Urgent?" Grandpa glared at me, "Don't worry, your life is gone, still in a hurry, you get up for me." ”
When you get married, why is it still related to my life?
I was a little speechless, but I didn't think much of it.
For the rest of my life, I don't want to be so hasty, so I pulled my grandfather back and sat down, and said in a compromise: "I will definitely get married, but I have to slow down, I still have some things to deal with, and I have to go back in a few days." ”
"No! After getting married, you take your little sister into the city together. From now on, take her with you in whatever you do. ”
I understand grandpa's temper, saying that one is one, but tonight is a little abnormal. I wanted to defend a few words, but he angrily pushed it away, opened the door and walked out, apparently to prepare something.
"Whew!" I exhaled, I didn't ask what I should have asked, and things were out of control. When I looked up, I saw Su Xiaomei standing in the hall, nervously pulling the corners of her clothes, biting her lip aggrievedly, looking like she wanted to speak and stopped.
She must have heard what she had just said.
In any case, she is also a victim. I walked out and explained, "Little sister, I didn't mean that...... Alas! "I don't know how to explain it for a while.
After a while, my grandfather came in with a red hijab and incense candles, looked at me and my little sister and said, "Our family doesn't have any extra money, this marriage is a little simpler, but after tonight, you are husband and wife, you will share the blessings in the future, and you will share the difficulties, little sister, are you willing?" ”
Su Xiaomei nodded shyly.
Grandpa's words made me feel a little sad, I didn't care, but she didn't even have a decent new set of clothes, so it was too unfair for her to visit me so hastily.
I couldn't resist my grandfather, so I had to compromise and take the red hijab and cover her, and grandpa put incense on my parents' spirit card.
In the dark night, the red candles flickered, there was no red makeup, no relatives and friends, the two bowed three times under the gaze of their grandfather, and determined the relationship between husband and wife in the ancient way.
Maybe it's because of the church visit, my heart has also changed a lot, and I secretly swear that if I calm down in the future, I will take good care of her.
It's just that I never thought that in the days to come, fate would change so much, and Su Xiaomei has become the most important person in my life.
After the ceremony, grandpa went back to the house, suddenly took out the stone box, stuffed it into Su Xiaomei's hand, and said earnestly: "There is nothing valuable at home, this is something that Xiaoxiu's father got by chance when he was young, grandpa handed it over to you, you should keep it well." ”
"This ......" I tried to stop, but was glared at by my grandfather. Suddenly, I felt that this seemingly sloppy wedding was not so simple.
"Say what you should say, ask what you should ask. I'll tell you anything I can tell you. Tomorrow morning, you will take your little sister into the city, and don't come back. ”
Grandpa's words were very decisive, and after speaking, he went out of the hall with his hands behind his back, and when he came to the door, he said, "It's not early, you should rest early." ”
As soon as Grandpa left, the atmosphere was a little awkward. I looked at Su Xiaomei with a red hijab in a daze, and I didn't know what to say.
Instead, she broke the silence first and said shyly: "Brother Chen Xiu, no matter how you are doing in the future, my little sister is willing to follow you, as long as you have something to eat!" ”
If it weren't for the Kunlun Mountain incident, without Zhang Dezhu's warning, it would be a blessing for me to marry such a girl. But now she's following me, probably jumping into the fire pit. And what's in that box......
I didn't know how to explain it to her, so I went over and helped her and said, "You go back to the room to rest first, I still have something to do with grandpa." This, this box is here for the time being! ”
After hesitating, I reached out directly to get the box, but my little sister's hand shrunk, let my hand and said, "Grandpa gave it to me, and my little sister will definitely protect it." Just leave it with me! If you have something to say to grandpa, then I'll rest first, and you help me back into the house. ”
The shabby wedding, naturally there is no new house, so she can only be helped back to the room where she lived before.
Help her to sit down, let her rest first, and turn around to go out. But at this moment, Grandpa suddenly closed the door and locked it from the outside.
This......
I knocked on the door a few times, but there was no movement outside, and the old man was determined to let us go to the cave.
After tossing and turning for a few minutes, I walked back in embarrassment, the room was shabby and there were no chairs. I had to sit down on the edge of the bed, a little at a loss.
At this moment, Su Xiaomei suddenly said: "Xianggong is tired, let's rest early!" ”
I was just about to say that I wasn't tired, but suddenly my eyelids became very heavy, and I couldn't lift my hands and feet. With a roll of his eyes, he collapsed straight on the bed.
In my sleep, I had a dream in which there was a large mansion with a bride wearing a wedding dress and a red hijab sitting in the brightly lit main hall in the courtyard.
She has jewels in her hands, and two beaded curtains hang out of the red hijab, which is very luxurious.
I looked down and saw that I was also wearing the groom's big red robe. What's going on? I looked around in astonishment, but there was no one in the huge mansion.
After a moment of confusion, I slowly walked towards the house.
On the offering table in the main hall, there are two tablets between the two red candles, on which are engraved with my name, the left is written Su Li, and the one on the right is actually engraved with my name.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew and lifted the red hijab of the bride next to her, revealing half of her face.
Su Xiaomei!
