Chapter Seventy-Four: The Wedding
Xiuya drove me and Jin Cui to take wedding photos, and wherever Jin Cui and I went, Xiuya would follow me, in case Lingling suddenly appeared, and Lingling should be caught and Lingling could not be allowed to leave again.
Other matters related to the wedding were handed over to the village director and Zheng Jinghong, and Jiang Kun and they also volunteered to help.
Jin Cui's family lives in the cave, and they must be fully cleaned up, and the furniture used to purchase a new house is as small as the inside and outside pasted with Western characters, ribbons, candy, etc., these things, as long as the money is in place, the village director will mobilize many villagers to come to help.
All the more than 50,000 yuan I have saved over the years have been handed over to Zheng Jinghong.
The wedding photos are all taken from the inside, and it takes a few days to shoot the exterior, so we don't have that much time.
I got married to Jin Cui hastily, everything was simple, I felt a little wronged by Jin Cui, but Jin Cui was very happy, she didn't care about these at all, what she cared about was being with me.
The wedding photos were perfect. After Jin Cui was dressed up by a makeup artist, she was beautiful, and even, I felt more beautiful than many Internet celebrities, and everyone in the photo studio praised Jin Cui for being beautiful, and even, when I went to the toilet, I heard someone in the toilet say that a flower was inserted in cow dung.
I'm not handsome. It's not ugly, it's ordinary, indeed, with my appearance, it's not worthy of Jin Cui.
Listening to everyone praise Jin Cui, I was also very happy.
We were in a hurry, and after taking the wedding photos, we would expedite the processing. It can be done the next morning, and someone will come and pick it up then.
After taking wedding photos, Xiuya took us to buy clothes, I bought a purple suit, and Jin Cui bought a wedding dress.
After finishing this matter, it was already evening, we drove back to the village, Xiuya had been on full alert and cautious, but Lingling never appeared.
Zheng Jinghong's friend is making integrated walls, so he directly called the workers to come over, worked overtime overnight, made the cave into an integrated wall, and laid wooden floors on the ground, and everyone was doing their best to help us.
My 50,000 yuan is definitely not enough, and at eight o'clock in the evening, my dad finally came over and took out some money and handed it to Zheng Jinghong to do errands.
Seeing my dad, I have a very reassuring feeling, since I was a child, my dad has always been my pillar, in my impression, my dad can do anything, from childhood to adulthood, he took care of me very well.
My dad talked with Grandpa Jin for more than half an hour, I introduced Jin Cui to my dad, and my dad nodded very satisfied after seeing Jin Cui, but I saw some doubts in the depths of my dad's eyes.
Subsequently, my dad and I were at the house next door to Jincui, and our father and son had a lot to say.
I told my dad everything that happened recently, and I still feel very uncomfortable when I think about it, and I can't let go of Lingling, but it's come to this, and I don't have any choice.
My dad patted me on the shoulder a few times and comforted me, "Everyone has their own path to take, and you have grown up to distinguish right from wrong, what belongs to you is yours, and what doesn't belong to you is just let the wind go." ”
I also understand the truth, it takes time to forget a person, and some people cannot forget it in a lifetime.
"It's a talisman, you put it on." My dad took out a white jade pendant from his pocket and handed it to me.
This jade pendant is ordinary, it is a ring-shaped jade pendant, just like an inferior item in a two-dollar store.
I frowned, "Dad, where did you buy this?" When I get married, will you give me one of these? ”
I'm a little dissatisfied, except for my dad who bought me toys when I was a kid, my dad has never given me a gift since I was sensible.
My dad smiled and said, "This gift is from my friend, it can protect yourself from evil spirits, don't be fooled by the appearance of the jade pendant, this is a good thing." ”
My dad never lied to me, and my dad's friend was Xiuya's master. Xiuya is so powerful, her master must be even more powerful.
Suddenly, I felt that this jade pendant must be a very powerful talisman.
I hurriedly put it around my neck and tucked the jade pendant under my clothes.
At this moment, Xiuya came in, and when she saw my father, she immediately bent down and hugged her fists and saluted, with a respectful expression, "Xiuya greets her seniors." ”
What's the situation? Predecessor??
My dad smiled and said, "No need to be polite, I am friends with your master, and we are all our own people, sit." ”
Xiuya sat next to me, looking a little restrained.
Xiuya is a powerful mage, why is there anything to be nervous about seeing my dad?
My dad looked at Xiuya carefully, "I remember the last time I saw you, you were eight years old at the time, and when I think about it, I haven't seen you for fourteen years, and you have become a big girl." ”
Xiuya smiled slightly, I was very surprised, fourteen years ago, my dad saw Xiuya?
"How has your master been in recent years?" My dad asked casually.
Xiuya replied respectfully, "Back to my predecessors, my master is still the same, working for the government, and in a few years, he will retire." ”
Doing things for the government? Mages do things for the government?
Why does Xiuya respect my dad so much? The atmosphere is a little quirky.
My dad smiled and said, "You still call me Uncle Ning, I'm not a mage, I'm not a person in the mage world, so you don't need to call me senior." ”
Xiuya's face was tinged with a hint of strangeness, "Uncle Ning, I've always been very curious. How did you come to know my master? ”
I was also very curious, how could my dad know a powerful mage?
My dad smiled and said, "You better go back and ask your master about this matter, hehe......"
Xiuya said, "My master didn't want to tell me, so I came to ask you. ”
My dad smiled, "When we were kids, I knew your master from time to time. We have a similar temperament, we played as children, we have always been good friends, and we have kept in touch all these years. ”
Suya had doubts on her face, but didn't ask much.
I suddenly felt that my dad was a little mysterious, as if he was full of secrets.
Three days later, Jin Cui and I got married.
Originally, I got married. It is the convoy that sets off according to the good time, and goes to the woman's house to pick up the relatives to the man's house, and if the man joins the woman, it is the woman's people who use the convoy to pick up the groom at the man's house.
I am not a wealthy person, but I want to get married at the woman's house, and the kissing ceremony will be carried out according to Xiuya's arrangement, more than 20 cars. He took the bride and the villagers around the village and returned to the woman's house.
Rural weddings are two meals, one at eight o'clock in the morning, and the wedding ceremony at twelve o'clock at noon, followed by lunch.
Generally, the guests who come in the morning are nearby villagers and some people who are busy with work, and they leave after the ceremony, and there is no time to come at noon.
The wedding was held in the courtyard outside the cave, and a large shed was set up in the courtyard. Sixty seats were set up, and the stage was set up at the entrance and exit in front of the canopy, so that all the guests could see the wedding.
At twelve o'clock in the afternoon, during the wedding march, Jin Cui and I held hands, the best man and bridesmaids followed us to the left and right, and we stepped on the red carpet under our feet and came to the center of the stage.
The bridesmaid is Xiuya. The best man is Xiuya's senior brother Han Guangju, this time Xiuya's master did not come, and sent Han Guangju to come, the first is to congratulate us on behalf of the master, and the second is to help Xiuya find the spirit together and deal with the white bone demon.
Han Guangju is in his early thirties, a calm young man who does not like to talk. On any occasion, the face is sharp and the vigilance is extremely strong.
The wedding was carried out in a cheer, everyone's face was full of smiles, the five groups of Zhang's team came to represent, and the rest were all villagers of Yang Village.
Worship heaven and earth, toast to my dad and Grandpa Kim. Changing words, sealing red envelopes, exchanging gifts, everything is carried out in an orderly manner according to customs and rules.
I have fantasized about marrying Lingling many times, but unfortunately, the beautiful bride next to me is not Lingling, but another woman.
Providence made people, and I had to bow to fate.
After the wedding ceremony. Jin Cui and I took turns to toast all the guests, and everyone wished the two of us a hundred years of good togetherness and eternity.
The wedding day was spent in happiness and busyness.
After the banquet, me and Jin Cui, my father, Grandpa Jin, the village director, and some famous old people in the village saw off the guests.
Regarding the matter of drawing out the spirit, we don't need Team Zhang and the police to participate, Xiuya and her senior brother Han Guangju can handle it.
After we sent all the guests away, Jin Cui and I had time to have lunch, and the villagers helped to dismantle the greenhouse, pot stove, and clean up.
When everything was over, all the villagers who helped were gathered, and I took the cigarettes I bought, a box of cigarettes and towels for each person, and expressed my gratitude for everyone's help, which is the custom of the village.
There is still a habit in the countryside. It's the cave room at night, and my classmates and friends will come, but my wedding, there are no classmates and friends, they are all young people in the village, and the young people who know Jincui are in the cave room.
Light cigarettes for the people in the haunted house, give red envelopes, and let the bride and groom dance. It's funny, there are a lot of tricks, it's very lively and fun.
At about nine o'clock in the evening, the people in the cave room left, Jin Cui and I cleaned the room, changed into new bedding, and then ...... It's our cave night.
I know, tonight. Xiuya has been hiding in secret, and our purpose tonight is to lure the spirits out, and we can't do the things of the cave room.
Jin Cui and I are both dressed, I sleep with Jin Cui in my arms, and if there is any abnormal movement, I will have to face the spirit.
For the past three days, the spirit has not appeared. There is such a big event in the village, as long as Lingling is near the village or in the mountains, he will definitely know that I am married.
I've thought about it countless times in my heart, does Lingling really dislike me anymore, and really doesn't want to stop me from marrying Jin Cui......
Even if we break up, even if she has her own decision, let's have a game together, I get married, won't she come......
I'm conflicted, I'm married to Jin Cui, but I've always thought about Lingling in my heart, I know it shouldn't be like this, but I can't control myself.
Jin Cui looked at me with a happy face, "Brother Ning Que...... I love you. ”
"I love you too." I hugged Jin Cui tightly, in the future, Jin Cui is my wife, and I will take care of her for the rest of my life.
After twelve o'clock, my cell phone rang, and I saw that it was Lingling's call.
I hurriedly connected, Lingling's tone was cold, "Ning Que, I want to see you." ”
"Lingling, where are you?" I asked hurriedly.
Lingling said. "Under the locust tree by the stream at the entrance of the village, remember, you don't want your woman to die, you come alone."
Lingling hung up the phone, and I said to Jin Cui, "You sleep first, I'll go out and come back in a while." ”
"Brother Ning Que. Are you going to see the spirits? Jin Cui looked at me worriedly.
"Yes." I said, "Tonight's mission is extremely important, Jin Cui, I'm sorry, we have to find the spirit, we have to deal with the white bone demon. ”
Jin Cui smiled slightly, "I understand, I'm waiting for you to come back, you must be careful." ”
