Chapter 127: The Return of Millet 2
Xiaomi didn't know what Uncle Zesheng meant by what he said, and he only looked forward to the day when he left Junshan as soon as possible.
Yesterday, before dawn, Uncle Zesheng came to Junshan and shook her from her sleep.
"Xiaomi, you can leave Junshan today. I just got the news that he had sent a wedding card yesterday. Uncle Zesheng shouted at her sleepy-eyed.
Millet is looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally looking forward to this day. She secretly thought that she should have left this place earlier, it had been too long now, but she did have an innate fear of seeing the green water, as if she had drowned. This is also one of the reasons why she believes that Uncle Zesheng said that she would drown in the lake if she left Junshan.
Now that Uncle Zesheng said that he could leave, there would definitely be no danger of drowning.
Uncle Zesheng led her out of Junshan, and on the ferry, he told Xiaomi what to do next.
I got off the ferry and got into the carriage again.
Uncle Zesheng didn't get into the carriage with her, he sent another person to see her off.
The carriage was so jolting that her bones almost fell apart. But she was in a very good mood, and she opened the curtain of the carriage and kept looking out, and everything seemed very novel. She had a strange feeling that the place where the horses were galloping happened to be the place she longed for.
The closer she got to Thrush Village, the more familiar she felt the scene became.
The carriage stopped at Lao He, and the man sent by Uncle Zesheng told her: "You must listen and watch, and when the bride and groom shout the words 'send to the cave room' after the bride and groom have finished their worship, you must shout 'Wait a minute,' and then bring in the small box that your uncle gave you." ”
Xiaomi nodded in agreement.
The man drove the carriage away.
When Millet heard the rumbling of the old river, she felt very kind, as if the river wanted to tell her some secrets. It's a pity that she can't understand Lao He's speech.
Although Xiaomi doesn't know who the bride and groom are, it is not difficult to find the family where the wedding banquet is held. She walked to the Ma family's old house, found a bench where no one was around, and sat down, quietly waiting for someone to shout the words "send to the cave room". She was afraid that she would miss it by negligence for a while, so she didn't go over to eat when others came to the table to eat. Here guests come and go, not familiar with each other, as long as the table is a guest, there is no strangeness.
Her eyes rolled and she looked around. She felt very familiar with the big mansion, as if she had been here before. She didn't feel so familiar again, the red lanterns, the red paper cuts, the red couplets, and the red cannon clothes made her a little dizzy, as if she was immersed in the world of blood. She attributed the dizziness to jejunal hunger, but she knew in her heart that the lightheadedness was subtly different from the feeling of hunger before.
Hungry and sleepy, and almost falling off the bench, she finally heard a sound of "send into the cave", and she immediately bounced up from the bench as if she had been pricked by a needle, and shouted with the last bit of strength in her body: "Wait a minute! ”
After shouting, she felt the noise in her ears suddenly stop, and the whole world fell silent.
She was taken aback, and when she shouted hard just now, she had the illusion that it was not Uncle Zesheng who had ordered her to do this, but a real cry from the depths of her heart. She sensed that everything was so wrong here, that something was wrong with these people, that there was something wrong with these dazzling red lanterns and candles, that there was something wrong with the choking smell of gunsmoke......
But she understands that she is just a child and cannot change the world of adults.
Someone in the familiar room shouted something and seemed very angry. But she didn't hear clearly.
She walked towards the house to deliver the small box that Uncle Zesheng had given her to the bridegroom.
The astonished crowd immediately moved out of the way, waiting for her to enter from the outside.
It wasn't the path she was going to take, but it was as if she was going to walk through it because people were out of the way. This is the only way to go.
She saw everyone looking at her, and for a moment, she wanted to slip away and run away. She was afraid that so many pairs of eyes were looking at her, as if she were a dish at the wedding feast, and they were going to eat her.
But she felt that the words in the small box were very important, and even felt that the words were not what Uncle Zesheng wanted to convey, but what she wanted to say to the groom she had not yet met. This inhuman but involuntary thought appeared several times in a short period of time, which surprised her very much and made her feel like she was in a dream.
She walked down the path of the forest of people. She was afraid of those people, and felt that they were all accomplices who wanted to harm her, just like the people on the island. She imagined those people as trees one by one, imagining that this was a forest of human trees, and that there was a path in the forest at her feet. Thinking of this, her mood suddenly calmed down a lot.
When she saw the bridegroom in the blue robe and red vest, she couldn't help but feel that the groom was going to take her into the cave room.
The people on the island had held weddings, and she had seen this kind of scene and imagined how she would experience it one day.
She raised her hand and handed the box to the festively dressed groom.
The groom crouched down, caught her little box, and asked gently, "Whose child are you?" Why don't the adults in the family come and ask you to give gifts? ”
When she heard the groom's voice, her heart couldn't help but tremble. The sound was all too familiar, like hearing it in my ears so often.
She timidly replied to the groom's words.
She saw that the groom's hands were shaking, and she couldn't understand how Uncle Zesheng's words could give him such a big stimulus. She was tempted to appease him.
The groom asked a few more questions.
She answered them one by one.
"Was the last time you were in Junshan? Are you waiting for me in Junshan? The groom's voice was a little out of control.
She wanted to answer him, but didn't know how to answer him. What does it mean that the last time it was also in Junshan? What does it mean to wait for him in Junshan?
After being reminded by the groom, she felt that in addition to wanting to leave Junshan, she seemed to really want to wait for someone. That person was obviously not Uncle Zesheng. Although Uncle Zemori said that he was her distant relative, she did not like him.
Is it because the person I wanted to wait for didn't come that I wanted to leave Junshan? She asked herself from her heart. But I can't give an answer.
Later, a woman dragged the groom back to the bride, and the groom said to the person who officiated at the wedding, "You must keep her!" ”
She inexplicably replied in her heart, "I didn't want to leave." ”
Then, the candy rained down from the sky. She felt a bump in her back, and then she pounced like a startled butterfly on the wooden table in front of her......
Millet said that the moment she fell, she did feel like a butterfly, and her body was so light that she almost floated.
Her eyes darkened, and she didn't know anything......
After Millet finished speaking, the room fell into a terrible silence.
"She's really a ...... millet" After a long time, Grandpa finally squirmed his lips.
Luo Buzhai took a breath, pulled his grandfather aside, and said, "Not necessarily." This Ze Sheng is scheming, maybe her statements are all made up by Ze Sheng to deliberately anger you. ”
Grandpa said: "Think about it, in terms of time, it has been about ten years since Ze Sheng killed Xiaomi by the hand of a fortune teller last time. She happened to be less than ten years old and was supposed to be Xiaomi's second reincarnation. Ze Sheng shouldn't be able to say anything about smoking sunlight to keep warm, and when she saw Ze Sheng's fishing dream in the middle of the night, it should be that he wanted to capture the information of Xiaomi's previous life. Zesheng didn't let her leave Junshan because he was afraid that I would find her. ”
"That being said, we'd better be cautious. Do you remember the scrap metal dealer in the ghost arena? He is a member of the Murcha clan with a red flag, will he collude with Zesheng of the Guerjia clan to deceive you? As a big dealer in the ghost fighting field, his news is much better than that of Chu Guihou. Zesheng knows your wedding date, maybe he told him. Luo Buzhai said.
Before Grandpa brought Zhao Xianyun back from Dayun Mountain, he had already told Luo Buzhai what happened to the ghost fighting field.
Dad shook his head and said, "The scrap iron dealer won't do this." ”
"Why?" Luo Buzhai asked.
"Because the scrap metal dealer is a woman." Daddy said.
"Women?"
"Yes. When I came back from Dayun Mountain, I was in a hurry, I only told you about it, and after you came back, you were busy with the wedding, and I didn't have time to talk to you in detail. In fact, not long after the ghost fight was over, I discovered the secret of the scrap iron dealer. Although she is dressed as a man, she is actually a woman. ”
"How did you find out?"
"From the beginning, I noticed that her breath was wrong, and when the other ghost fighters were almost gone, she relaxed her vigilance, and her posture was different from when she was fighting ghosts. At the time, I wasn't sure. When I looked down the stairs halfway up the shaft, she was grabbing the clothes on her chest with her hands. I saw a wound on her chest underneath her clothes. She should have strangled her or stabbed her there. She was afraid that people would see that she was a daughter, so she had to tighten her chest with a layer of cloth before getting dressed. ”
"I see."
Daddy continued: "She said that ghost fighters don't dare to reveal their identity as women, and I think she is the same. She disguised herself well in front of the ghost fighters, she was very vigilant, and she didn't hide much in front of me. If she is Ze Sheng's eyeliner, she will definitely be vigilant and will not show clues in front of me. ”
Luo Buzhai said: "You're right. ”
"When Zesheng learned about my marriage, it must have been his eyeliner who heard the news that we had sent out a wedding post. As long as he keeps an eye on us, it won't be difficult to get the news. ”
Luo Buzhai nodded and said, "Since he pays attention to us all the time, let's not let him get what he wants easily." He wants to see you break down, and you should be strong to show him. He refused to show himself, so we forced him to show up and let him pay off all his debts at once! ”
Grandpa smiled miserably, looked at the millet who was burping there, and said, "What can I do if I pay it off?" I'm content to be able to come back here, and what else do I have to complain about? ”
