Miao Yu's words were like whispering, and I listened to them as if they were nothing, but when she was by her side, I felt an indescribable ease and safety, and gradually fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was already dawn, Miao Yu's medicine had a miraculous effect, my body recovered quickly, and the wound on my spine was carefully wrapped. As soon as I raised my eyes, I couldn't see Miao Yu anymore, I could only see Lei Zhenren sitting next to me boredly picking his feet.

"She's gone, leaving some medicine." Lei Zhenren saw me wake up and explained: "Let you rest assured, the injury will be healed soon, and it will not be in the way." ”

"Where did she go?" As soon as I rolled over and got up, my heart was full of questions about this woman who suddenly appeared and felt familiar, and I wanted to talk to her, but in a flash, she had quietly left. I sat down again, I didn't know where she went, and I couldn't find it.

With this lesson, Lei Zhenren and I were more careful, and we were able to bear a low profile when we didn't show up. As soon as the two autumn rains have passed, winter is coming, the winter on the river beach is very cold, there will be no more rain, and the hope of finding rootless water is much slimmer. My heart is not quiet, and I have been thinking about Xiao Jiuhong. I inquired all the way, wanted to know, and was afraid to know, I was afraid that I would suddenly hear the news that she had married into the Lu family.

My life was barely saved by her begging and desperately turning her face with the red lady. I'll never forget the tearful face she faced when she left. I don't want her to cry for the rest of her life guarding someone she doesn't want to marry.

Huoluban and Paijiao are both well-known forces on the river beach, and the big happy event like marriage spread very early, and it didn't take much effort to inquire clearly. The right day they set was on the ninth day of the lunar month, and I calculated that there were still two months to go.

After running around for so many days, the appointment with Lao Fuba was approaching, and the two of us began to rush back. Lao Fuba rarely shows up in the daytime, Lei Zhenren and I waited for a day at the agreed place at that time, and when it was dark the next day, I saw Lao Fuba appear in the field of vision in a hurry, carrying a small burden.

I haven't seen him for a month, and Lao Fuba still looks confused, but he is in good spirits. As soon as he saw us, he grinned, Lei Zhenren specially brought some wine, and the old man drank happily, humming a little song, and shaking off the little burden on his body. He was more familiar with those plants and trees than anyone else, and in this month, he not only found Zi Duhuo, but also brought a lot of good old medicine along the way.

"What are your plans? Are you ready to go home? ”

"I want to go home, I've always thought about it." Lao Fuba squatted on the ground, holding the wine bottle, and said: "This way back, it's far away, I'm afraid that I will be caught by someone halfway through, and it is impossible for everyone to be okay with you." ”

"And what do you do?" I thought to myself that although Lao Fuba is just an old ginseng, he is more trustworthy than most people and has the heart to help him, but now it is all about things, and he can't leave.

"It's okay, where are you going to live?" The old man took a sip of wine, and his old face was flushed: "I'm not lonely, I'm idle and chatting with the big trees at the entrance of the village, and I can watch a group of big aunts twist Yangge when I catch up with the market, this Gada is good, it's just a lot of bad people, and I can't help but want to cut them many times when I see it." ”

I know that Lao Baba must be talking about those sideways who are wandering on the river beach, and they usually do business by unscrupulous means, so there is nothing they can do. Lao Fuba is kind, but Lei Zhenren is a chicken thief, if you want to find something from the vast river beach, Lao Fuba is definitely more efficient than us. Taking advantage of the fact that Lao Fuba was dizzy, Lei Zhenren got close to him and asked him to help find rootless water.

"Okay, that's not a problem, anyway, it's just to help you run errands." Lao Fuba agreed, this year, whether it is a person or a ghost, it is rare to be able to retain a sense of innocence and the principle of doing things in his heart, it is worth dating, Lao Fuba drank a lot of wine, and said: "Make an appointment, let's meet here?" ”

"No more." I calculated the days, and lived for two months, which was the day of the marriage between Luban and Pai Jiao, and I was panicked, knowing that it must be dangerous, but I couldn't help but go: "When the time comes, inquire about Sang Yuanling, and find us there." ”

"Inquire about the Tao, I'm the best at it, let's go." The old man burped, left us with a small burden, and walked into the distance, humming as he walked: "My home is in the Central Plains, on the big river beach, there are old and small ones, a group of hooligans."

As soon as Lao Fuba left, Lei Zhenren and I fell into a boundless search again. The rain is completely extinct, the weather is getting colder and colder, I searched all the way, and honed the life map on my body more tenaciously all the way, the number of people in the holy domain is small, but the life map is a great dependence, otherwise it would not be possible to run rampant for so many years. The more difficult the conditions, the more effective the training became, and by November, I was much stronger, and even if I encountered the ordinary hard handle in the side door, it was enough to deal with it.

In November, the first heavy snow of winter fell on the river beach, and I couldn't help it, so I couldn't help but walk slowly in the direction of Sangyuan Ridge during the trip. There are still some days before the wedding, but the Lu family has begun to prepare in advance, and the entire Sangyuan Village is full of lights, all of which are lamp stands built up of large logs three or four feet high. The marriage between Huoluban and Pai Jiao must have other purposes, they want to make the marriage grand and grand. I have been wandering around Sangyuan Village, and every time I see the busy people in the village, I think of what it will be like on the wedding day.

I can't let go of Xiao Jiuhong, counting, in fact, I haven't met her a few times before and after, but some people, even if they only appear once in their lives, are enough to be unforgettable. I knew that on the day of the wedding, it would be a feast for the side gates of the Mulberry Garden, and for me, it was a place of death, and if I dared to go in, I might not be able to come out again. Lei Zhenren persuaded me to endure the humiliation, I hesitated, but I never got over this hurdle in my heart.

can bend and stretch out his husband, but if you endure some things, you are not a man.

The days passed day by day in wandering, and I made up my mind, whether I could take Xiao Jiuhong away or not, I was not sure at all, but I at least had to let her see that I was here, and I wanted her to know that what she paid to me was not in vain. The old ghost, the grandfather, the Maitreya, the big-headed Buddha, those who once protected me are gone, and I have to face all this alone.

"Anyway, I'm a member of the Thirty-Six Gates." Lei Zhenren was a little embarrassed, and said: "When I get married, I must be all people from the side door, if you see me"

"You stay outside, don't go in." I've made up my mind, and it's useless for Lei Zhenren to say anything.

"Alas, the lives of the two of us are still tied together, you have to do this" Lei Zhenren sighed, took out a small black stone like a seal from his body, threw it to me, and said: "Go if you want, this is the talisman of Yinshan Dao, hold it, no one will interrogate you." ”

I have been staying near Sangyuan Village, under the mountain behind the Luban family, which cannot accommodate so many guests, and the wedding will be held in Sangyuan Village. Since the second day of the lunar month, there have been more people coming in and out of Sangyuan Village, and I have been observing, but I haven't paid attention to whether the people who are arranging the teaching have arrived. Living Luban is reckless, but the wedding is still carried out according to the customs of our side. Around the ninth day of the new year, the wedding banquet should be set up for several days in a row, only the ninth day of the first month is the main day, the bride and groom will worship heaven and earth in public, toast the guests, and enter the cave room that night. If I want to make trouble, I can only make trouble on the ninth day of the new year.

It was probably the first time I'd faced something of this magnitude on my own, but I wasn't flustered. Early in the morning of the ninth day of the lunar month, the people who participated in the big wedding flocked to me, and I fixed my mind, Lei Zhenren sighed while sticking a fake beard on my face.

"You're holding our lives alone." Lei Zhenren couldn't cry, and drooped his face: "I don't even know that girl, so it is possible for you to throw your life here, what am I trying to do?"

"Don't worry, my life is big."

I won't say anything more, lest I be affected again. I straightened my clothes and walked around the road from the west side of Sangyuan Village to the village, and there were people in front and behind, and no one recognized me. When I arrived at the entrance of the village, I showed the talisman of Yinshan Road to the people who received the gift from the Lu family, and I entered the village smoothly.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but just as I stepped into the village, the sky suddenly became overcast, and the surroundings suddenly became much darker. Looking up at the gloomy sky, I couldn't tell what this sign meant.

That maybe, it really is a bad omen.

The people who came into the village to congratulate the gift were all led to the back of the village, there were too many guests, and the Lu family had a good face, so they specially demolished the houses around the ancestral shrine behind the village. The ninth day of the lunar month is the first day of the wedding, and the wedding banquet is very rich. After taking their seats, the heads of the thirty-six side doors sat on a row of tables in front of the ancestral hall. I looked up and glanced left and right, the wedding banquet had not yet started, and I could only see the Lu family's palm lamp and the red lady, sitting at the flower table on the left and right, but I couldn't see Xiao Jiuhong's figure.

"It looks like it's going to change." A man at the same table said slowly: "Pai Jiao has never been involved in the affairs of the side door, and now he takes the initiative to marry the Lu family, do you want to intervene?" Or do you want to do something? ”

Before the words fell, there was a cheerful suona sound behind the ancestral hall, the "branch" in the wedding is estimated to be the oldest in the Lu family, who has done a lot of red things, and is so experienced.

"The bridegroom! Bride! See Kela!! ”

As soon as the curtain of the door of the flower hall was lifted, the grandson of the Lu family who was in charge of the lamp was wearing a wedding dress and walked out with a smile on his face, this is the first time I have seen him, and he doesn't look like the red lady said that he is talented, I don't know if he is addicted to wine, or something else, the groom's face is gray, thin and ghost-like.

Immediately after, four young women who led flowers appeared behind the Lu family's grandson who held the lamp with the bride. At that time, the wedding had been opened a lot, and the wedding dress was still red, but the bride did not hijab. The moment she appeared, my hand jerked, and the cup in my hand was crushed with a pop.

I saw Xiao Jiuhong, which made me think about Xiao Jiuhong.
