The scope was narrowed, and Niu Pang and I immediately decided to look for it.

We searched for three days in this small county, and we didn't even bother to eat at noon, and we still didn't find this village.

Seeing that on the fourth day, Niu Pang and I had lost confidence, and Zhang Qing informed us that he was going to have a wedding, so we asked us to go over and help with it, because only me and Niu Pang could speak Chinese.

I thought Zhang Qing's daughter-in-law's house was very close, but I didn't expect to drive for more than an hour, not to mention, we still drove on the 11th and walked for an hour and a half on the dirt road. Departure in the morning, and when we arrived, it was almost noon.

Zhang Qing's daughter-in-law's family is in a small village with only a few dozen households, and she specializes in collecting coffee for a living.

Zhang Qing's daughter-in-law's house is in the middle of the village, there is a very spacious doorway, there is nothing at the door, only an old tree, this tree should have an annual ring older than my grandfather's age.

We went into the house, and all the women were busy with the things to get married, and some of the men were drinking tea and playing cards at a table. I was used to the fact that in Vietnam women did not have a high status, all farm work and housework were women's, and men were enjoying them, and when I was looking for a village, I saw a woman carrying a large ball of firewood home, and her old man was smoking at the door of the house.

"How about buddy?" Zhang Qing asked me.

I nodded, "Yes, what about your daughter-in-law?" ”

Zhang Qing stretched his neck and looked around, found his daughter-in-law in a group of working women, and shouted to the group of women, "Ah Zhen." ”

A woman in the crowd raised her head and walked towards us, this woman was medium-looking, well-proportioned, put on domestic makeup, dressed up, and was also a beautiful woman.

Fortunately, I brought an interpreter with me, "Sister-in-law." I said politely.

After the interpreter spoke to the woman, the woman muttered something and passed it on to me through the translator's mouth. "I'm glad you are welcome to my wedding."

"After saying this sentence for so long, I thought I would introduce someone to me." Niu Fat began to run out of bounds again.

Zhang Qing patted Niu Fat's shoulder, "Brother, this woman can bear that you don't have money, she can bear that you don't have a house, but she definitely can't bear the fact that you don't lift it." ”

As soon as Zhang Qing said this, I really didn't want to dangle in front of Niu Fat's eyes, Niu Pang finally didn't care about this matter, and Zhang Qing picked it up again today.

"What are you comparing and comparing, why don't you hurry up and find a seat for Niu Ye, put on a plate of small melon seeds, and come to a plate of peanuts and rice." Niu Fat diverted the topic.

This was the end of this, and I could see the viciousness in Niu Fat's eyes, as if he was going to eat me.

Sitting on the chair, Niu Pang and I had nothing to do, but there were a few people talking to us, but we couldn't understand the dialect of this place, and the translation was borrowed by Zhang Qing.

Niu Fat swallowed melon seeds, and his head turned to my side, "Hey, how much do you say we pay?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, and then I reacted, "We don't know each other well, so we won't pay for it." ”

Niu Fat was stubborn, "You think too easily, he can let you come over and pay for it, there is no free banquet in the world." ”

I thought about it, Niu Fat's words are reasonable, Zhang Qingfu doesn't pull a few, let us come over and designate that it is a matter of paying for it. "Just pay a few hundred dollars."

Niu Pang smiled while sipping melon seeds, "How much do their locals pay, how much we pay, not a penny, it is estimated that two hundred yuan is enough." ”

"It's not too little, right?" I asked.

"You know a fart, give some face on other people's territory, what kind of big-tailed wolf are you rushing." The cow stinks my mouthful.

More and more relatives and friends came, the table was almost full, Niu Pang and I made six or seven on the table, they chatted on their own, we didn't understand, and from time to time someone glanced at us.

There was a shout at the very front, which was to tell everyone that the wedding was about to start, and I had no idle nonsense with Niu Fat, pulling and pulling, my heart seemed to be grabbed by something, and there was a burst of coldness, and I shivered with cold, which was an early warning from my uncle.

I said hello to Niu Fat, went out by myself, found a cold corner where no one was around, I took out the bottle, and a small person immediately appeared in the bottle.

"Uncle, what are you doing? There are so many people here, you are not afraid of being seen by them. I reproached.

The uncle's expression was obviously very excited, and as soon as he was excited, he leaked out of his dying expression, "Dongzi, there is Hongxia's mother in this room." ”

I glanced into the room with a stunned expression, "How do you know there's Hongxia, isn't it, auntie?" ”

"Spirits are dependent on the cause of their death and the place of death, and I want to repeat the actions before I die in this room, and I am familiar with the smell of that little ghost." Uncle said.

I looked at the uncle in embarrassment and didn't know what to say, "Do souls want to smell too?" ”

"The soul is the most sensitive, I died because of the imp, I can feel the smell of the imp." Uncle said.

"What you're looking for is an old lady, and it's a woman who will clean up the table after the wedding, it's almost dark at that time, and you're looking for it one by one when the yang is weaker, and you must not hang yourself at someone's wedding, it's so unlucky." I reminded.

Uncle nodded in agreement, and I put the bottle back in my pocket and went into the house. Weddings in Vietnam are very simple, the matchmaker said, toast is considered marriage.

This period only took more than an hour, worried that the dismissal too early here might affect the uncle to find the aunt and mother, and later I found out that my worries were unnecessary, and no one left after the wedding, they were all gossiping.

It's all in the evening, have a dinner and continue to talk, and I don't know when they will leave.

I made it on the chair, yawning, looking at the miasma of this room, Niu Pang and I were hung here, Zhang Qing's kid only knew that he was happy, called us over, borrowed the translator, and Niu Pang and I called the sky and the earth here.

It was almost ten o'clock in the evening, and people left one after another, I was afraid that the person the uncle was looking for would leave, and his eyes were fixed on the door, but after thinking about it, it was impossible to leave, and he should feel that such an important person for the uncle left, and he must have informed me.

The people who attended the wedding were almost dispersed, and apart from the women, only their relatives remained.

Niu Pang and I sat on the table, and many women looked at us like monkeys, talking behind our backs, and we couldn't understand it.

"Fuyuko, let me out!" Uncle's voice came from my chest.

I reached into my pocket and opened the cap in my pocket. The first thing Niu Pang and I can see when Uncle comes out is to suck food, chickens, ducks and fish, and we are not in a hurry to find someone.

I coughed twice to remind the uncle, and the uncle reacted and went to find someone, and after the uncle left, a child went over to pick up a piece of meat to eat, and actually cried.

The woman's father came to us and talked for a long time, but I couldn't understand it, and finally I had no choice but to find a young man to come over. The young man's Mandarin is very tongue-twisting, listening to him is all about guessing, every sentence, I can guess eight ~ nine is not far from ten. Niu Fat can't do it, Niu Fat can't understand a word.

We were arranged to sleep in a bunk with the young man and a few other young men, and it was difficult to talk to the young man, but he could understand and communicate simply.

Through the introduction, I know that the young man is called a man, and after getting acquainted with each other, the young man is very good at chatting, and there is basically no cold time. I looked at the uncle here and there and hesitated, I didn't seem to be able to find it for a while, anyway, I wasn't in a hurry, just chatting and waiting for the uncle's news.

I don't know how long we talked, but the groom came out and sat next to us, looking unhappy and depressed.

"Yo, buddy, what's wrong with you?" Niu Fat asked.

The groom loosened his tie, sighed, and looked bitter, "Do you believe me when I say the bride is gone?" ”

I was just about to speak, but a man was one step ahead of me, "Don't worry, I'll be here tomorrow." This means to reassure the bridegroom that the bride will return tomorrow. The Vietnamese could not tell where China was coming.

"What's going on? What did you do? Niu Fat looked like he was digging into the roots.

The groom's official sighed, "I checked on the Internet, and the Vietnamese bride will go to her lover's house on the wedding day to repay her kindness." ”

I was drinking water and almost choked, "What? Going to your lover's house on your wedding day? And this kind of thing? ”

"Repay with your body, many will run because of this." The more the groom spoke, the more excited he became.

A man smiled and said for five minutes, "Don't be too excited, this is normal, our local customs, out of repaying gratitude, also means that from now on there will be no more to do with it." ”

I was stunned by this sentence, I didn't expect such a strange custom, if I had a wife, I would go to my lover's house on the day of my wedding, I would never accept it.

"Damn, there's still this matter, buddy go up to someone to find it." Niu Fat looks like a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.

I looked at Zhang Qing, Zhang Qing sighed deeply and waved his hand, "Forget it, this is a custom of other people, as long as you don't leave me seeds, I will be content, and it is not good for anyone to make a big fuss." ”

I didn't answer, a place has a local customs, we can't adapt to it, it doesn't mean that others can't adapt to it.

Zhang Qing smiled bitterly, picked up the wine on the table and drank it, we couldn't persuade him, in addition to repaying his lover, Zhang Qing was more concerned about whether the bride would run away.

At this time, there was an exclamation from a child behind us, who I didn't understand the local language, and I was surprised to hear the voice. I turned around and saw a group of women hiding together with their children in their arms, looking in the direction of the uncle.

I put my hand into my arms, opened the sealed lid, took the bottle in the palm of my hand, and took advantage of everyone's confusion to run in the direction of the women and children, and protected these children and women behind me.

Niu Fat sat on the chair, stayed for a few seconds, and immediately reacted, taking the opportunity to create a panic, so that my small movements were not seen by so many people.

Taking advantage of everyone's emotional instability, I took out the bottle and waited for the uncle to come in. But the uncle's eyes were behind us, anxious and hesitant.

I was sure that the child had already seen him, and if the local monk had been invited to come, it would have been over, and I didn't care so much, so I ran to the place where the woman had seen it, pointed the bottle at the uncle, and sucked the uncle in.

At this moment, a small child behind me shouted again. I turned my head and saw the child yelling in my direction.
