Chapter 72: 'My' Wedding (3000 Words of Dedication)
On this day, Saturday, the sky was cloudless and the sky was clear.
Yangcheng, a small village on the outskirts of the city.
"Home~~~"
An invisible point of light suddenly appeared from the basketball court in the village, and then the point of light slowly opened in all directions, and an invisible light gate suddenly appeared, first a leg stepped out of the light gate, and then, Gu Yan's whole person walked out of the light gate, looked at the surrounding environment, and a trace of nostalgia appeared on his face.
"Come on! Hurry up, pass the ball! ”
"Back to the defense! Back to defense! ”
A hurried voice came from the side, interrupting Gu Yan's reminiscence of the past, and when he came back to his senses, he found that there were several boys who looked like junior high school students playing on the basketball court.
Seeing the sweaty boy on the court, the corners of Gu Yan's mouth turned slightly, with a hint of appreciation and envy in his eyes, in the past, Gu Yan used to be like them, every holiday would always invite a group of friends from the same village to come to the court to play a game of basketball.
Of course, because Gu Yan's skills at that time were so bad, he was usually just playing the role of a substitute, unless there was no one, under normal circumstances, he sat on the side to look at people's clothes or something, and rarely played on the court. But it doesn't matter, at that time, he liked to watch more than fighting, so he didn't have any complaints.
Gu Yan stood in the center of the court, a little dazed, the boys on the field kept running around him, but no one noticed his existence, as if he was just a phantom.
"Damn, bad pass!"
At this time, a boy on the court passed the ball too hard, resulting in a wrong pass, and the basketball flew straight towards Gu Yan's head, and just when the ball was about to hit Gu Yan's head, the whole basketball passed through his body without hindrance and flew towards the outside of the court.
"Stop!"
Gu Yan watched the basketball fly out of the court, according to the speed and trajectory of the basketball, he instantly predicted that the basketball would hit the window of the house next to him, and the speed and strength of it seemed would definitely break the glass in the end, seeing this, he stretched out a finger and pointed lightly at the basketball, and spit out a word on his mouth, and an invisible circle of light appeared on the body of the basketball. Then, as if it was blocked by something, the basketball stopped in mid-air, and then fell straight to the ground, rolling a few times.
"I'll go! It's so dangerous, I almost broke someone's glass. Seeing this, a boy ran quickly and picked up the basketball with a happy look on his face.
Scold!!!
Gu Yan chuckled, then took a step, walked in the direction of home, passed by the ancestral hall of the village, and found that the entire ancestral hall had been dressed up, with a happy word sticker, a seven-colored ribbon, and a pair of happy couplets pasted on both sides of the door, which read:
"A hundred years of love and two heart knots, thousands of marriages are linked"
On the other side, there is a sign with the four big characters 'Gu Wan Lian Marriage' written on it.
The long firecrackers from the door of the ancestral hall, around the entire ancestral hall to go around, and finally back to the door of the ancestral hall, Gu Yan knows, this is the custom of the village, the newlyweds must burn a string of red firecrackers in the ancestral hall when they get married, implying that the future life is prosperous, and circling around is a means of harmony and happiness, reunion and happiness.
In the open space outside the ancestral hall, many people are busy carrying tables and chairs, and dozens of red lacquered wine tables are neatly placed. According to the customs of his hometown, wedding banquets such as weddings must be held at the entrance of the ancestral hall to honor the ancestors, so this is the place where the banquet is held.
Gu Yan looked at the ancestral hall and found that many acquaintances were busy inside, hesitated for a moment, but still took a step and walked in the direction of home.
No. 3 Heng Street on the side of the temple, this is the house number of Gu Yan's house, not far from the ancestral hall, only separated by a street, and he returned to the door of his house without walking a few steps.
It is still a 3-storey small/bungalow, but the appearance of the whole house has changed dramatically, the original rough exterior wall of red brick and cement has been renovated, and it has been pasted with pale green tiles, the original dilapidated wooden door has been replaced with a new stainless steel security door, and the window has changed from the original wood-framed folio window to a pull-type aluminum hinged window.
Seeing that the house had become so brand-new, Gu Yan was stunned, chuckled, and walked towards the house, but he did not enter through the door, but directly entered through the wall and inside, and when he entered the interior, the changes were even greater, the walls that were originally yellowed because of water leakage have now been renovated and pasted with wallpaper, the uneven red brick floor on the ground has also been replaced with a non-slip tile floor, and the original aging TV has become an LCD TV, refrigerator, water heater, microwave oven, induction cooker, The water dispensers and all the ones that used to be were replaced with new ones, and all the ones that were not available before were also added.
Walking into the hall, the TV was on, and on the sofa, several middle-aged women of the same age were knocking melon seeds, watching TV, talking and laughing, and their faces were full of joy without exception.
"Mom!"
Gu Yan's eyes were firmly fixed on one of the women, she was Gu Yan's mother, looking at her, Gu Yan couldn't help but shout affectionately.
"Huh?" Although there was no sound, Gu Yan's mother seemed to have discovered something, turned her head, looked around, and a look of confusion appeared on her face.
"I said, Ah Qun, what are you looking for?" A woman asked, seeing her look.
"It's nothing, it's just that I just heard my son calling me, maybe I misheard." Mother smiled and said.
"I must have heard it wrong, I said Ah Qun, your son is a daughter-in-law, not a marriage, what do you have to worry about, can't you see it later, don't you think so much, just be happy today." Another woman spoke up.
"That's right! Come, everybody, keep eating. The mother smiled and nodded, grabbed a handful of melon seeds and swallowed them, her face full of joy.
Gu Yan watched silently beside him, with a trace of tears flashing in his eyes, he was silent for a while, and finally turned around and left home.
Returning along the same route, Gu Yan walked to the door of the ancestral hall again, this time, he walked in, and as soon as he entered the ancestral hall, he saw his father wearing a brand-new suit, his hair neatly combed, directing people to carry things. The weather was a little hot, there was only one ceiling fan in the ancestral hall, there were no windows around, the inside was like a steamer, and his father's forehead was already oozing beads of sweat, but he still kept his suit straight, and his face was still filled with endless joy.
Gu Yan watched silently, raised his right hand slightly, and a breeze suddenly blew in the ancestral hall, and then the temperature of the entire ancestral hall suddenly dropped by ten degrees, making people feel cool for a while.
"Ah Quan, today is your son's marriage, you father, just take a break, we will take care of these things for you, don't worry so much, be careful of your body." A big man who was a little familiar with Gu Yan came over and persuaded his father.
"It's okay, you will also say that today is my son's marriage, I don't watch it personally, I don't worry, as for the body, don't worry, I don't know if there are really people who are in good spirits on happy occasions, I feel younger and younger recently, and my body is getting tougher and harder, it's like going back to when I was young." Father waved his hand and said energetically.
"You just blow it, you're still getting younger, forget it, I don't care about you anymore, if you need help, just ask." The big man smiled, and then walked out of the ancestral hall.
Gu Yan looked at his father's energetic appearance, the corners of his mouth curled, who in this world is in good spirits on happy occasions is just a psychological effect, his father will feel that his body is getting better and better, that is because Gu Yan has used the system to subtly strengthen the physical condition of his parents before, it can be said that in addition to appearance, the physical function of his parents has now returned to the youth of their twenties, and it will be maintained in this period for a long time.
After being strengthened by the system, although his parents did not have superhuman strength or other qualities, they had reached the extreme of human beings in terms of lifespan and physical vitality, at least, it was not difficult to live for more than a hundred years casually.
After a moment of silence, Gu Yan walked out of the ancestral hall, looked at the sky, and was speechless for a while.
"The weather is really good today, but the sun is a little fierce, and it feels a little hot, and it may be a little sundry after the banquet is held later." Outside the ancestral hall, several women who were setting up tables and chairs were discussing with each other.
Gu Yan heard this, looked at the sparse clouds and the fierce sun, snorted coldly, stretched out his palm, and grabbed it, and the white clouds for several kilometers around were pulled over and fixed, forming a thick cloud to cover the sun, making the surroundings instantly cool.
"Huh! The weather is getting overcast. One woman said with a smile.
Seeing this, Gu Yan smiled, and wanted to leave, when suddenly a somewhat harsh voice reached his ears.
"Hmph, what are you dragging, I know that his old Gu's son has a lot of money, and he is favored by the daughter of Boss Wan, and now he has money, and he doesn't know us." Turning his head, he saw several women in the distance huddled together, and one of them said in a snarky tone.
"Huh! Don't talk nonsense, just take your mouth. Another woman persuaded.
"What did I say, isn't this reality, it sounds good to get married, I see, it's a big deal, I used to look at Lao Gu's son and knew that he wouldn't be promising, okay! Now I'm still eating soft rice, and I'm sorry to die. I see when they are kicked out, and then they will have to be beggars, hahaha! The more the woman spoke, the more vicious she became, and after Gu Yan heard this, her eyes flashed with a fierce murderous intent.
Gu Yan looked at the joyful atmosphere of the ancestral hall, he suppressed the killing intent in his heart, he didn't want to see blood in his wedding.
He reached out the fingers of his right hand and tapped lightly at the woman, and an invisible light shot / into her body.
"Aura of Doom"
"I won't kill you, but I'm going to make you unlucky for the rest of your life." Gu Yan thought to himself.
"Ahh My tongue. The woman, who was still chattering about right and wrong, suddenly screamed in pain, and blood flowed out of her mouth.
"Look, bite your tongue, you just shut your mouth, don't talk nonsense." Seeing this, another woman said with a gloating voice.
Gu Yan looked at her, and a grim smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
