The ceremony was held a few days later, the first two days were the busiest time in Muzhang County, where they hung flags painted with phoenix dragons in every place, and the front of the three new houses was tied with silk fluttering in the wind.
A cold rain was intermittent, and it rained for a long time, and the fog shrouded the entire Muzhang County, and the rain fell on the skin, as if covering the body with a layer of cold wax.
I ate and lived with the man, he would talk occasionally, I guessed what he meant from his movements, he hadn't touched me for a few days, and he would talk to me when he went out and when he came back. The possessiveness of their oath of sovereignty is not quite what I imagined, although they are old-fashioned, they have absolute trust in each other, and when I go out and come back later than him, he does not doubt it, and he is stubborn outside the home, and does not deal with any woman, and those people take the initiative to talk to him. It seems that as soon as there is someone to marry, that person becomes invisible in the eyes of the opposite sex. Except for Mu Jinshu, everyone I observed was like this.
There are several large buffaloes in the area where they farm, and the sound of mooing can be transmitted from one end of Muzhang County through layers of land and mountains to the other.
They hung a crisp bell around its neck, and struck it into a large seat with a rain cover, and the men led the oxen out with a knotted silk, and many people scattered, and each party followed a bridegroom to the new house, and sang a song at the door.
I stood by the window and quietly watched the scene outside, the rain was still drizzling, and the cold moisture penetrated my pores and penetrated into my body.
There was a dull pain in my abdomen, and I was still holding the bottle of hot water that had been changed many times, and through the cloth bag, only that part of my body was warm, so warm that my stomach was soft and almost rotten.
When the door opened, the man walked in alone, put a patterned cloak over me, and around my neck, clumsily fastened the strap in front of me.
He stood in front of me, his hands reaching over my ears, helping me put on the wide hat behind me and straighten my hair that was scattered on the sides.
He pursed his mouth, and there was a rare hint of brilliance in Mu Ne's eyes, he didn't smile all year round on weekdays, but when he wanted to laugh, he looked unhappy when he laughed, and he was as stiff as a piece of wood.
I smiled at him too, and the corners of his mouth curled higher.
For some reason, he took him out with his hands tight, walked through the procession singing ancient songs on both sides, and stepped on the back of the big and tall buffalo, when I looked at the white fog in all directions, and suddenly felt sad and wanted to cry for no reason.
But I didn't. I just looked at them, at the land, still strange to them in my mind, but I felt the same feeling, and that strange dream pierced the memories and surged over.
The rain was so dense that damp droplets fell on my eyelashes, falling in the blink of an eye.
He followed me onto the back of the buffalo, sat down behind me, grabbed the silk from the buffalo with both hands, shouted, and the team set off towards the underground palace.
The road is quiet, and the four buffaloes walk slowly along the road, at a very slow pace, leisurely.
After leaving, they lowered the curtains before and after the rain cover, and I only saw the number of Qing Shui Niu, and saw Ziwei and Mu Jinji, so I could tell where Jiang Xun was, but I didn't see his appearance.
The uneasiness deepened as the road progressed, and I closed my eyes, calmed my breath, and waited to reach the position where I attacked.
Finally, halfway through the journey, I glanced to the side, and it was still smoky and rainy.
Taking a deep breath, he unwrapped the cloth bag in which the water bottle was wrapped in his hand, and the glass bottle fell to the ground with a shake, sinking into the wet earth without making a sound.
The man behind me looked down, and I wrapped the long cloth around my hand, twisted and clasped his neck, and threw the man off the buffalo's back before he could react.
There was a noisy sound of footsteps outside, I lifted the curtain in front of me, grabbed the horns of the cow and jumped down from the front, and saw Tang Jiao, a stupid guy who secretly jumped down from the back of the buffalo, was discovered by Mu Jinshu, grabbed the collar and hung on it and kept kicking.
Ziwei was still with the little mute, it was inconvenient to save him, I was far away from him, and behind me was Jiang Xun, after a pause, I decided to give up the distance and seek closeness, and go to see Jiang Xun first, because the chaotic sound outside was obvious, but he didn't react at all.
Skill is not required at all in the melee, everyone is in a mess, and the attack is ruthless enough, so as not to be caught, everything will be strong.
The advantage of the bow and arrow is long-range, and it is better to move the fist directly after getting close, and before he can draw the arrow to put on a good posture, he kicks it over, and is first lifted and turned over on his back.
I stepped on a man's body, jumped on the back of a cow, lifted the curtain, and froze, for there was no one inside.
At this moment, a group of archers appeared around us, forming a semicircle around us, trapped in the center of the crowd.
When I got off the buffalo's back, they were already very close, and I looked up to see that Tang Jiao was still hanging there, already grabbed by the arm.
Seeing that my son was not near me, I called out his name.
Eye exchange, he immediately understood, and pushed the little mute who was guarding him hard, and the person took the dagger I had given him before and rushed forward, and the action was sharp to break the blood marks on the person who blocked it.
I grabbed the little mute by the shoulders and picked her up and pulled her aside as one pounced on her.
The little mute looked strange, and I looked down to see her upper and lower lips biting together, her eyes wide open, her hands bent at her sides, and her fists clenched tightly.
On Ziwei's side, Mu Jinshu was tossed hard by Tang Jiao, and before he had time to launch a counterattack, the buffalo was frightened and struggled in place, trying to throw off the two people on his back.
The rain cover on it swayed, and Tang Jiao, who was hanging on it, was even more dragged by his arm and endured the pain of being about to dislocate and screamed again and again, and his legs kept kicking the buffalo's stomach. Unfortunately, the rain wet its fur, and its feet were slippery to step on, and it couldn't even borrow strength, let alone climb back.
He was in a dilemma hanging on it, and half of Mu Jinshu's body was thrown out of the rain cover, and his body was stuck on the edge of the seat, no matter what, he just refused to let go.
Mu Jinshu is not an ordinary weak woman, she is in charge of the patrol and the defense of Muzhang County, and everyone believes in her ability.
So when we started to attack, the most popular team rushed to Ziwei, followed by me, vacating the space next to the buffalo, and only after seeing the cow go crazy did anyone rush back.
At this time, as soon as Zi Wei stepped forward, more people noticed the situation over there and shouted something to Mu Jinji.
Seeing that he had a helper, Mu Jinshu let go of Tang Jiao's arm when the buffalo collided again, and the person fell back to his seat, almost falling from the other side.
Ziwei and the men of Muzhang County were chasing at almost the same time, Tang Jiao was covered in mud, bows and arrows were shooting everywhere, I was too busy to take care of myself, and when I looked over there, Ziwei had already succeeded in snatching people, and the two of them got together, escaped from under the hooves of the buffalo, and ran towards me quickly avoiding the arrows.
I was about to meet them when the little mute in my arms jerked and pushed me hard where the arrow had been shot the most.
Behind me was a quagmire, and I stumbled and almost fell, and with a buzz in my head, I quickly dodged with the instinctive reaction of my body, dodged an arrow, and sank into the mud with one foot, and was grazed by the arrow one step too slowly.
The skin of that patch suddenly became hot, and a string of small beads of blood emerged from the wound, which immediately connected into a line, slid down the arc of the muscle, and became cold. The excess blood had opened the flesh and skin, cracking a deep scar, and the fabric of the clothes was blurred.
The little mute showed fear and pushed me and ran directionlessly.
I grabbed her after he was picked up, but to my surprise, the child turned around and hugged me the moment I pulled him back, and his body trembled.
She hugged her so tightly that it took me a lot of effort to separate her, only to see her smiling, and the look on her face was the heartfelt happiness of a child.
I was stunned, and I didn't understand what it meant.
Time was pressing, the leader and Mu Jinshu didn't believe us from the beginning, the unplanned change caught us off guard, and the three of them didn't dare to relax after meeting, they didn't care about anything else, they watched the formation and tried to find the weakest side to kill.
But in just a few seconds, the encirclement line that was still a semicircle just now has been filled up by the people present, completely blocking our retreat, no matter which direction we go, it is the same result.
When I saw Mu Jinshu running in one direction, directing people to attack us, I made a decision, looked in the direction she was about to reach, and said, "Go to the right-hand side, Mu Jinshu is there to support, they won't leave too many people." ”
Tang Jiao was so confused that he didn't even know where to go, his head was dangling and he didn't know where to go, I gritted my teeth and broke his head in that direction, and he took two steps in that direction.
The little mute saw Ziwei burrowing into his arms, I let go of her, Ziwei didn't feel at ease after taking it, and said: "Be careful, return her to them in case of danger, and ensure your own safety." ”
Ziwei hummed, and I quickly followed Tang Jiao's footsteps and protected him forward.
People kept coming out to stop them, and their arrows also hurt their own people, but they did not lose any points, and did not care about their own casualties.
In the rain, Mu Jinshu saw us with a fierce light between her eyebrows, I pressed Tang Jiao's head down, and the next second I saw her pull out the bow and shoot over.
After pushing Tang Jiao away and dodging sideways, Ziwei pushed the little mute to the front, and after blocking the arrow, he put the dagger in his hand against her neck, and said coldly: "You're not afraid that we will kill her?" ”
"Do you really think she's a threat to us by holding him?" Mu Jinshu sneered: "It's just a little girl, without this one, we can still choose the next one, the leader doesn't care if she is dead or alive." ”
"But you care." I said, looking at him quietly, wiping a handful of rain from my face, not shying away from the hatred in her eyes.
Mu Jinshu gritted his teeth, Ziwei suddenly raised his hand at this time, raised the dagger, and stabbed it at the little mute's head!
"Stop!" Mu Jinshu's voice shouted hoarsely, took a step forward, and nervously stopped.
