XXXVI. Abin's wedding
thirty-six
Lao Zhang happened to have something at hand, so he asked Xicheng to take Abin and Ah Yuan. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć The three of them followed the man in the mountains for almost a whole day, and did not reach the small village until it was dark. Needless to say, Xicheng is already old, and even Ah Bin and Ah Yuan, two young people, are tired and exhausted. The villagers who came to invite them arranged their master and apprentice in their own home, although they were not wealthy, but the bedding was very clean and tidy, and all kinds of daily utensils were placed in an orderly manner!
It turned out that the family had a clever daughter. This girl handles all the big and small affairs in the family, and she is not only capable, but also very handsome. In the few days of exorcism in the mountain village, the lives of the master and apprentice were taken care of by this girl very thoughtfully, which made Abin, who has been self-reliant since childhood, feel happy and warm like never before. Soon, he had a good impression of this girl, and when he had the opportunity, he secretly glanced at it with his eyes. But he was pleasantly surprised to find that when he was secretly looking at the girl, the girl was also secretly looking at him, which made his pure boy's heart irrepressibly surging.
When the master subdued the ghost three days later and helped the deceased to make a dojo, and cleared the ghost, anger, and yin qi of the entire village before leaving, Abin and the girl were already inseparable. When the master and apprentice descended the mountain, the girl stood on the hill and watched their figures until the turn was blocked by the woods and could no longer be seen.
Since then, Abin has suffered from lovesickness, almost to the point of not thinking about tea and dinner. During that time, he was teased by Ah Yuan almost every day, but he couldn't listen to Ah Yuan's ridicule of him at all.
Seeing the appearance of the apprentice who lost his soul, Lao Zhang and Xi Cheng couldn't laugh or cry: not long ago, no matter how the master and uncle persuaded them, they swore not to marry for life, and now they have been tortured by lovesickness. O young man!
Actually, when he came back from Ah Bin, Xi Chengcheng told Lao Zhang about the girl in the mountains. Lao Zhang and Xicheng both mean: as long as the person is good, he will resolutely fulfill the two affectionate young people. Just when Abin was lovesick every day, Lao Zhang had already quietly gone to the mountain village according to the route Xicheng said, and also looked at the girl in the dark, and felt that there was no big problem, just an ordinary mountain girl. After coming back, he discussed with Xicheng to lead Abin to ask for marriage.
I heard that I was going to ask for marriage, and Abin's lovesickness suddenly improved by half. Looking at the apprentice who was not listless just now, as soon as he said that he was going to propose, he immediately became lively, Xicheng picked up the cigarette pouch in his hand and gave it to Ah Bin, and scolded with a smile: "Something that has no interest!" ā
The process of courting is very smooth, and the girl's family is quite cheerful and reasonable. The two families quickly worked out how to hire and when to marry. After Abin's lifelong event was decided, the five masters and apprentices went home happily. The days that followed were very busy, packing up the new house, buying all kinds of things, and preparing for the wedding. None of the men had ever experienced this kind of thing, they were all like headless flies, and they were half dead and didn't make a name for themselves. It wasn't until Qiaoqiao's father and mother heard about this incident and came to help that all the work was carried out in an orderly manner. Seeing Qiaoqiaoniang arranging various matters in an orderly manner, Lao Zhang couldn't help but slap Abin and sighed: "There still has to be a woman who is like a family, you kid is blessed!" Abin couldn't say anything complete except for grinning and smirking, and the people next to him laughed.
On the morning of getting married, everyone got up before dawn. Sticking the word happy to hang firecrackers and pave red felt, it is a busy meal. Qiaoqiao's father and mother and many neighbors also came to help, and the stilted building was full of joy everywhere in red and hanging colors. Because the mountain is far away, if the time is too late to pick up relatives, the auspicious time will be missed, so the girl's maiden family sent the girl to a relative's house in a nearby town in advance, and Abin and they can go to Linzhen to pick up relatives. Seeing that the girl's family thought about them so much, Lao Zhang and they were secretly glad that they had found a good in-law, and once again sighed in their hearts that Abin, a stupid boy, was blessed!
Just as Lao Zhang and them were anxiously waiting, someone outside was shouting: Come on, come on, the bride is here! Immediately, the firecrackers hanging at the door were lit, and in the deafening sound of firecrackers and everyone's cheers, Abin walked in with the bride beaming.
According to the guidance of the master of ceremonies, one worships heaven and earth and two worships the teacher. Lao Zhang and Xicheng, who sat on the main seat and received the newcomer's gift, had tears in their eyes, the marriage of their apprentices for so many years has always been their heart, they really don't want their apprentices to be alone like themselves, without a wife and children, and only with Taoism as a companion for the rest of their lives. Now, Abin has finally married his daughter-in-law, but he has fulfilled a wish of their two elders. Next, what they hope most is that Ah Yuan can also find the person he likes, get married, start a family, and have a fat doll.
At the wedding banquet, the always restrained Lao Zhang and Xi Chengdu were drunk. They feel that today is their happiest day, and they must be happy in life, and when they are not drunk at this time! Ah Yuan and Xiu Ming didn't drink less, especially Ah Yuan, in order to block the wine for Ah Bin, he couldn't remember how many glasses he drank, and before the wedding banquet was over, Ah Yuan was drunk, and was carried into the room by Xiu Ming and a few partners and fell asleep. In fact, Xiu Ming also felt that his steps were a little staggering, but he still held on to block the wine for Abin. The master has instructed that today is Abin's cave room flower candle, and Abin can't be drunk, so he has to hold on no matter what!
Lao Zhang's apprentice, Qiaoqiaoniang's family, neighbors, and villagers who have usually received the favor of Lao Zhang's master and apprentice, gathered together on this happy day, usually quiet stilted building, today until the night is still laughing and noisy, never so lively.
The bride has been smiling with a good temper, raising her head from time to time, and glancing at her husband beside her affectionately, making Abin feel that happiness has floated up. "A talented woman looks like a woman for a long time!" I don't know which greeting guest raised his glass and suddenly yelled, which brought the atmosphere of the wedding banquet to its climax. All the guests are smiling, saying the auspicious words of the bride and groom, and Abin and his wife are also smiling sweetly, feeling that the happiness at this moment is eternal!
Just when everyone was immersed in joy and joy, no one noticed, in the woods at the edge of the town, I don't know when a group of black shadows appeared, not only their clothes were black, but they even covered their faces with black scarves, and they were all dark and merged with the whole night, quietly hiding in the depths of the woods. The night was quiet, except for the occasional mournful cry of owls, which made people shudder.
