The funeral ceremony began simply, and Erlei explained that the old man was accustomed to a low-key style in his life, and only hoped to pass away peacefully.

The silent funeral was held that night, and at night, between the bluestone roads on the banks of the Heishui River, a simple funeral procession marched silently.

The quiet night told the nameless sentences, and Zhu Beichen's ears passed Er Lei's low sobs from time to time.

He felt sorry for the girl beside him inexplicably, reached out and grabbed Er Lei's shoulder, the back of his hand was splashed with the girl's tears, Zhu Beichen was silent and couldn't help hugging the other party.

The coffin of the shirt tree contained Hongliang's corpse, and layers of loess were shoveled up and scattered on the surface of the coffin, and gradually the high priest of the clan would be forever cut off from the people of this land.

Zhu Beichen looked at the hazy night, and it seemed that there were many mysteries buried in the endless darkness, waiting for him to dig out.

The trip to southern Yunnan did not mean the end, but only the beginning, and in the process, three thousand died inexplicably.

The snow vine man poison in the Tibetan area in Hongliang's body also left with him.

The ram and the cocoon also died in the hands of that mysterious man at the most critical time, and everything became more and more confusing, lingering in Zhu Beichen's heart.

An oil lamp was lit, and the two men were talking softly.

Han Qingxin asked expectantly: "We will leave tomorrow, and when I go back to the research institute, I will definitely find a way to relieve the problem of residual blood in your blood within the three-year period." ”

On the wall, there is still a picture scroll of cold plum cliffs standing on the branches, adding a bit of chill to the elegant room.

Zhu Beichen was silent, his cold breath still mixed with sadness.

"All that counts, I have less than three years left to live."

The door opened, and July's figure appeared in front of the bedroom.

"You can go, but Beichen must marry me now, this is a sure thing."

The timbre is still so close to perfect, and the coldness is not rejected.

Han Qingxin even felt ashamed of herself in front of this woman, and was faintly suppressed by the other party in terms of temperament, and the follow-up words were blocked in her throat, and she couldn't spit out half a sentence anymore.

July's face was as calm as ever, and he confided lightly: "Then I will leave the Heishui River with Beichen." ”

The two women waited quietly for Zhu Beichen's reply, but he kept paying attention to the scroll on the wall, as if he was thinking about something.

"Hanmei Aoxue, it depicts a kind of state of mind, this is my painting, do you like it?"

The world of the two people didn't seem to have anything to do with Han Qingxin, she felt that even standing here by herself was a kind of superfluous, Miao Di Dawu was good at medicine and medicine, maybe more useful than herself.

She said quite unhappily: "You two slowly fall in love, I'll go out first, by the way, I don't have to count my share of the wine, I'll participate next time." ”

Han Qingxin turned around and walked out of the room, leaving a lonely back.

"At what age did you draw it, why didn't you get paid?" Zhu Beichen asked.

A smile faded over Qiyue's beautiful face, and she replied with a dusty demeanor: "When I was nine years old, when I was promoted to wizard, I had a dream, and what I saw in my dream was like this. ”

"Am I upsetting her?"

She looked innocent, but she felt that something was wrong with Han Qingxin's tone before.

"No, don't mind, the crazy girl is this irascible character, all of them have knife mouths and tofu hearts." Zhu Beichen said.

Ning Yun knocked on the door with a few maidservants and tailors, with tears on his face, and said with a smile: "Uncle, the girl has invited a tailor, do you think it is convenient to tailor a big wedding dress for you now?" ”

Zhu Beichen's face changed, and he said gloomily: "No, really." I'm not old enough to get a license, and besides, my old man hasn't promised me to get married. And it's impossible for me to stay in your Heishui River as your 'colt', 'uncle' or something! ”

July's eyes twinkled, and she turned her head shyly.

Ning Yun pretended to be a gesture and said in a deep voice: "We don't want to do this, after the newcomer bowed to the heavens and the earth, he made a promise for the next life in front of the ancestors of Suyou, and from then on they will be husband and wife for a lifetime, supporting each other, and growing old together." ”

Qiyue turned his back to Zhu Beichen and said faintly: "From now on, wherever you go, I will follow my man wherever I go, and I will not force you to stay in Heishui River." ”

The wedding procedures in Heishui River are cumbersome, and the marriage of a big witch is a great event in the clan. In the hearts of Miao people, Suyou Ancestor is the supreme existence, and every time a newcomer gets married, making a promise in front of Suyou Ancestor is often more effective than a marriage certificate.

Whoever betrays the oath between the man and the woman will be spurned by the clan and punished by the ancestors. In the cognitive view of the Miao people, after worshipping and telling you, they are officially husband and wife.

Zhu Beichen lowered his head in shame, the corners of his mouth grinned, and sighed: "July, you really plan to go with me, my current situation can't even support myself, let alone raise another wife." ”

Ning Yun almost didn't laugh out loud when she heard this, she thought that with her own girl's conditions, she wouldn't have to worry about finding a husband, but Zhu Beichen still disliked it, and she was still a girl, and you gave birth to so many requirements.

Now I know that this young boy is afraid that he will be poor and can't afford to support his own expensive girl, if it were someone else, he wouldn't know that he would be happy.

Ning Yun said angrily: "You have it, don't cry poor there, what is the identity of our Heishui River's big witch, and you still need to be suspicious, so that our girl is not worthy of you as a poor boy." ”

Zhu Beichen hurriedly explained: "No, no, it's not like that, I mean." It's that I don't deserve to be your family's witch. ”

He thought about the existence of the patriarch of the clan in July, who was worshiped by every household in the clan, what were the specifications of food and clothing every day, if he followed himself, he couldn't solve every meal and clothing, how could he wronged such a beautiful woman.

Ning Yun was angry, and he no longer explained to this person, pushed Zhu Beichen to the corner of the wall heavily, and said to the old tailor: "Mother-in-law, don't worry about him, now I will press him on the wall, you compare your height and body shape, measure how you want, and the dress will be made as soon as possible." ”

July turned around, looked at Ning Yun's arrogant movements, and said with a wry smile: "Ning Yun, you light, his head injury is not healed." ”

Why did this girl act as if I was forcing marriage, but this matter was not decided by grandma a long time ago.

Several girls stepped forward and pressed Zhu Beichen's limbs and leaned him against the wall, and the mother-in-law who was in charge of measuring her came over with a smile on her face and a tape measure.

This is the first time she has measured the size of a newcomer like this, and when she saw this situation, she scolded in her belly: This uncle is still in the blessing and does not know the blessing, if my boy can marry such a jade beauty as a witch, my wife's eyebrows and eyes are happy, and you still look reluctant.

"Okay, okay, I give up resistance, don't hold me anymore."

Zhu Beichen spread out his hands and feet, and simply lay in the corner of the wall, letting the tailor get his hands up.
