Chapter 37: Tragedy Begins
Perhaps because everyone was tired after a day of tossing, the entire mansion soon fell into complete silence except for the red lanterns swaying in the wind. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The scholar groom, who always had some strange feelings in his heart, walked up to the bride with great anticipation, and reached out to lift the red cloth covering the bride's head.
When he saw the face under the red hijab, he hurriedly took a few steps back in fright, and then the scholar couldn't help but shout: You are not Xiaoyan! You're not the Xiaoyan I want to marry! Who are you?
Sitting on the edge of the bed, dressed in a red dress, he looked at the ugly bride, but as if he didn't feel his anger, he stared at the scholar and let out a giggle!
In an instant, the feeling of being deceived immediately ignited the raging anger in the scholar's chest.
The scholar who called Xiaoyan's name angrily, and thought of something with anger, wanted to escape from this place that he hated so much, but when he pulled the door hard, he found that the outside was locked and could not be opened at all.
According to local customs, once two people worship heaven and earth and spend the night in the cave house, then they are husband and wife who can never be changed.
Not to mention the poor scholars who came to the door.
The ugly bride, who was originally sitting on the bed, still giggled when she saw the scholar trying to run out, and walked towards the scholar.
The scholar who couldn't open the door at all couldn't help but shout helplessly: Why? Why is she the one who married me? I'm going to marry my favorite Xiaoyan! Please! Open the door!
Despite his loud shouting, no one responded.
Behind him, the ugly bride, who was a complete stranger, giggled and approached, and suddenly hugged him tightly from behind.
The scholar, who was extremely resentful in his heart, tried to push away the bride who hugged him in disgust, but suddenly the light of the two red candles on the table became weaker and weaker, and the wick just burned out, and the room fell into complete darkness in an instant.
The giggles of the ugly bride in the dark room always sound creepy.
Guo Lin, who had been standing in the corner, stared blankly at the scene in front of him, and the strange thing was that in the completely dark room, he was still like the day, and he could see everything in front of him clearly.
After breaking free a few times, he didn't expect the ugly bride's strength to be quite strong, and the scholar didn't even shake off the bride who was holding him from behind.
The scholar, who was completely angry at the brain, once again broke the ugly bride's hands that were holding him with all his might, and then shook it vigorously, and the bride slammed into the carved cabinet beside it.
Guo Lin in the dark saw it very clearly, the bride's forehead suddenly hit the corner of the cabinet, and the skin and flesh opened, and the blood bloomed in the darkness.
Wisps of blood flowed down that strange ugly face, and the ugly bride, who was already coated with thick powder, was like a demon from hell at this time, which made people frightened.
Guo Lin, who had been watching from the sidelines, suddenly his hairs stood on end, and he didn't dare to look at the bride's face anymore, but as if he was driven by something, he couldn't turn his head at all.
The strange thing is that the bride, who seemed to have no pain, suddenly had a green light in her eyes, giggled, and stood up again, hugging the already frightened scholar again.
The pair of green eyes in the darkness, reflecting the extremely terrible face of the ugly bride, the scholar who was full of anger and disgust, was suddenly frightened and retreated again and again.
Until the scholar, who had been pasted on the wall and had no way out, slowly approached him again when he saw the seeping green light.
Finally, the scholar, who was completely carried away by anger, helplessness, despair and horror, suddenly became hideous, gritted his teeth and stretched out his hands, and suddenly stuck the neck of the ugly bride, and then kept shouting "demon" while jamming the bride's neck and pushing it back.
Even if she was stuck in the neck, the bride kept giggling until she was completely strangled to death by the scholar on the bright red marriage bed.
Seeing this scene happen, Guo Lin couldn't help but want to escape from this room for a long time, but a strange force tightly bound him there, and he couldn't move at all.
Holding the ugly bride's neck until the bride's body was completely cold, the scholar who slowly calmed down seemed to have forgotten what had just happened.
Standing up, walking a few steps in the dark, he came to the table that had long been filled with cold dishes and drinks, groped for the flask, and the scholar raised his head and poured the hot wine into his throat.
As he drank, he burst into tears.
Knowing what he had done, he was a scholar who had nothing to love, and laughed with tears in his eyes.
Many bits and pieces of the past can't help but come to mind.
Guo Lin, who had been confined in the corner just now, was suddenly dragged into the memories of the scholar again.
Early February last year.
On both sides of the rugged mountain road leading to Shuenji, a large field of pink peach blossoms blooms in the bushes that are not yet completely green.
On the side of the mountain road, there are several old pear trees, and the trees are full of white flowers that are as clear as snowflakes.
It is the season when peach and willow green, and everything begins to grow.
At this time, there are several sedan chairs carried by the sedan chair driver along the mountain road, and it seems that they are going to burn incense and worship the Buddha in the Xiuyuan Temple.
When passing by the old pear trees, it should be attracted by the fragrance of flowers, and the sedan chair at the back suddenly opened the sedan curtain, poking out a beautiful face, like a blooming flower, which is as delicate as a blooming flower, and it is also intoxicating.
Just when a gust of mountain wind hit, the pear blossoms of the trees were blown by the mountain wind, and suddenly fell like thousands of flawless snow.
When she saw a pear blossom tree falling one after another, a look of pity appeared on the girl's face!
Flowers fall, flowers bloom! Everything is beautiful and intoxicating.
In the small river on the side of the mountain road, spring water is flowing in its throat.
The scholar who had just finished washing a pot of old clothes, just now looked at the old pear tree, the poignant falling flowers and the world-souring face under the falling flowers, and the feet were unstable, and even people brought potted plants into the stream.
The face in the sedan curtain, at this time, also happened to notice the stream next to the old pear tree, the scholar was slipping and falling in the stream, and the white and flawless face immediately appeared a little distressed, and he couldn't help but cover his mouth with his green jade hand that wanted to exclaim.
At the moment when he fell into the stream, the scholar saw the warm appearance of the girl in the sedan chair who felt sorry for him, and was completely intoxicated as if her soul had been stolen at once.
Embarrassed to get up from the stream, ignoring the back that was hurt by the rubble, the scholar looked hard at the warm face that turned back and was still full of care.
For some reason, the girl's expression just now made him feel a lingering sense of déjà vu, as if two people had already met in their previous lives.
It was a wonderful feeling that I couldn't describe, déjà vu, warm as ever!
When I returned home with a long mind, the scholar had been stolen by the girl's warm and spring-like appearance just now.
Thinking that they must have gone to Xiuyuan Temple to seek marriage, the scholar who quickly changed into clean clothes also rushed to Xiuyuan Temple.
Xiuyuan Temple is a small temple deep in the mountains, I don't know when? Who built it? Before the scholar was born, he already existed.
The scholar was a poor scholar, and his father and mother both contracted a serious illness several years ago and unfortunately passed away.
has taken several exams for fame, but they are all named Sun Shan, and they are not on the list.
But the people in the neighborhood know that at the foot of the spiritual mountain, there is a knowledgeable and dignified scholar named Liu Lang, although he lives in poverty, he has always been unswerving, and he has studied hard in the cold window.
Maybe one day he will jump over the dragon gate, and maybe he will soar into the sky.
