Chapter 11: Paper Dolls
The woman who sang on stage was still Wan'er.
Huang Gongzi, who was weak, was throwing a pair of jeweled jadeites onto the stage, when suddenly, something hit the edge of the stage and rebounded to my feet, golden.
Leaning down, I saw that it was the jade gold ring, and I was about to pick it up, but someone picked it up before me.
The man was wearing coarse cloth clothes, which was much more shabby than the subordinates around Huang Gongzi.
I saw him pick it up and look at it, then look up and look at me, and I recognized him.
Isn't this Wan'er's lover Ah Tian?
At this moment, there was a hint of sly light in his eyes, and when he looked at me, he laughed at me twice, and then put his finger to his lips and made a "shhhhh
I was startled, and then he put the ring away, and hunched over and threw it away.
Wan'er was still singing on stage, Huang Gongzi watched excitedly, and no one noticed that Ah Tian, the little guy who had just run over and picked up a leak.
But my heart is full of mixed tastes.
Didn't Ah Tian say that this jade ring was his ancestor? It was his grandmother who wanted to give it to her future granddaughter-in-law. But just now I clearly saw that it was one of Huang Gongzi's plate of jewelry, which was picked up by Ah Tian outside the stage.
What the hell is going on?
The brain was a little messy, the woman's low singing was still beautiful, and with her exit, Huang Gongzi was also helped to leave.
Moving forward along the passage, there was obviously no wind, but the red candles in the big red lanterns on both sides were fluttering and shaking, making the narrow passage even more weird.
Along with this red candle beats, there is also my heart.
I am keenly aware that what awaits me lies a mystery that is about to be solved......
Finally, I walked out of this passage again, the mountain forest, and the mountain forest again.
Subconsciously looking up, I saw the huge moon again, hanging in the sky like a disk. I rushed forward, and I chased after it.
Under his feet, there is a thick layer of dead leaves, which "creak" when stepped on.
The full moon hung on the top of the mountain, like a pair of eyes, and it looked at me like this, without saying a word, full of mystery.
I chased after it like a madman, and when I had climbed the highest mountain, the great full moon appeared before me again, and it was very close to me.
The cold air that soaked people's hearts came out of it, and I reached out and touched its surface, which was a layer of ice, smooth as jade.
It's bright and doesn't have a trace of impurities in it.
I fed it a few times, but the woman didn't appear in the inner layer of the transparent surface. I'm looking forward to her showing up, and I want to ask her what she meant by what she said last time.
With my ten-year lifespan, can I really exchange it for seeing my parents again?
I stood like this for a long time, and the moonlight was still bright and cool, but the woman never appeared again.
A little disappointed, I turned around and was about to leave, but by the moonlight, I saw a group of people with torches running over the mountain road, shouting something, as if they were chasing someone.
One or two hundred meters ahead, a man and a woman were running forward with each other.
Eventually, the group with torches surrounded the two of them, and then I heard an even louder noise, and a woman's screaming cry.
Then, the men carried the woman back, and in the place just now, only a man was left lying on the ground, motionless.
I am no stranger to this scene, it is the scene where Ah Tian eloped with Wan'er, and Wan'er was arrested.
I was about to go down to see what was going on with the man lying motionless on the ground, when I saw him get up from the ground on his own.
From a distance, although I couldn't see the look on his face clearly, I could tell from his quick movements that he was absolutely safe and sound, and that he had not been injured at all.
According to common sense, his woman was snatched away, and he should chase after her again and snatch her over, but this man just patted the dead leaves scattered on his body and stared at the place where the woman had gone for a while.
Then, he picked up the package on the ground and went in the other direction.
I walked to the place where the accident had happened, and at that moment my foot snapped, and I saw a dagger without a blade.
To be exact, this is both a knife handle.
I understood something all of a sudden, it turned out that Ah Tian just acted in a scene for Wan'er to see. At the same time, I don't understand, does he love Wan'er from time to time, what is the purpose of his doing this?
Turning back, I looked at the moon again, and I suddenly asked it out loud, "What the hell is going on?" ”
The moon doesn't answer me, and the woman inside doesn't speak.
At this moment, it was suddenly pitch black again, only this time, only two or three seconds later, I saw myself standing in the hall where Wan'er and the big rooster worshipped.
This time, the guests all dispersed, and only the couple under the big red wedding word was still sitting side by side, the red candles burning, and the wedding cakes were not moving.
The voice of the woman in gorgeous clothes was old but with some majesty, and she said to Ah Tian, who was kneeling in front of her: "You have done our Huang family a favor, this is what you deserve." ”
As she spoke, she waved her hand, and the servant immediately brought something up, and I fixed my eyes to see that it was another plate of pearl jade.
Ah Tian took those things tremblingly, and his eyes greedily thanked the old woman for the wealth that he had worked hard all his life and could not reach.
The old woman motioned to her subordinates to take Ah Tian down, Ah Tian was about to leave, he thought about it and asked the old woman again: "Wan'er, ......is she okay?"
Hearing this, the woman snorted coldly: "She is now the daughter-in-law of our Huang family, and this has nothing to do with you!" ”
When Ah Tian heard this, he hurriedly knelt down and said, "She...... She...... Won't die, right? ”
"Of course not!" The woman stood up: "Her life will be very good, marrying our Huang family, naturally she will enjoy endless glory and wealth, but it also depends on whether she has this creation!" ”
"What do you mean?"
The woman hunched over, stretched out her hand and patted Ah Tian's face: "It's - see if she listens or not......"
With that, the woman got up and left.
"Listen or not......" Ah Tian's face turned a little pale, and he immediately glanced at the man sitting next to him, and he almost knelt in front of him:
"Master Huang, Wan'er has a strong temperament, let her go, don't force her...... Otherwise, she would ......"
As he was saying this, he grabbed Master Huang's hand and froze suddenly, and at the same time, an extremely frightened expression appeared in his eyes.
Because, he finally discovered that Master Huang, who was sitting on the stool, was actually a paper puppet!
