Passing through several villages and towns on the border of Dajing all the way, the attitude of the people in the village was indeed unfriendly to outsiders, but the prepared Wu Chen and the three of them were all dressed as businessmen, and they tried their best to keep a low profile all the way, and they went quite smoothly.

Finally passing through the last jungle of considerable size, Azhu said that there was Xianyou Village in front of him.

And Huangfu Yanqi and Ah Zi, who took the other road, were faster than Wu Chen and his party, and they had already arrived at Xianyou Village early this morning.

This village is not big, and the colors of the villagers are very uniform, and Huangfu Yanqi took Ah Zi around a little to know that Wu Chen had not yet arrived. Coincidentally, they coincided with the annual festival in Xianyou Village.

This festival is also very characteristic of the village, which is a festival in which the women of the right age in each family are allowed to marry other people's families and set a wedding date.

Early in the morning, as soon as Huangfu Yanqi and Ah Zi arrived here, they found that the villagers were preparing to be busy in the center of the village in a tense and orderly manner.

In the center of the village is a flat clearing surrounded by a guardrail, which looks like it is just for the usual festive gatherings. In the middle of the clearing, there is a huge tree with lush leaves, dozens of feet high, and you can't see the end of the tree when you look up.

Before the festival officially began, the old people in the village gathered around the giant tree, singing songs they could not understand, and with the movements of the old people, many people in the village prayed under the giant tree.

When the festival officially begins, the young men and women of the village go out of their homes and leave their families, the women stand in a half circle in front of the giant tree, and the young men stand in a larger half circle around the women's circle.

There were many onlookers, and Huangfu Yanqi and Ah Zi also gathered among them, waiting for Wu Chen and the three of them to come while watching the excitement.

The ancient rule of marriage in Xianyou Village is that no one is allowed to marry their daughters to promising young people, and all women of appropriate age must be married through a festival auction.

After the young men and women lined up, the village chief of Xianyou Village began to act as the initiator of the auction, calling the women out one by one and asking the young men in the outer circle to bid for the auction.

Auctions often start with the most beautiful women.

Not surprisingly, as soon as this beautiful woman appeared, the on-site bidding voices came and went.

Ah Zi couldn't help but shine in his eyes, and couldn't help but ask Huangfu Yanqi: "Master, how much money do you say this woman will cost to buy it?"

Huangfu Yanqi glanced at him disdainfully and said, "You want to buy it?"

"No, no, I don't. Ah Zi hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand in refusal.

"I don't want to bring it if you want to buy it. Huangfu Yanqi said.

He and Azhu Azi were burdened with heavy responsibilities, and in the days to come, they were also outcast, and they did not hesitate to travel to the ends of the earth in search of traces of their clansmen. It's a big burden to have a weak woman around who doesn't know the exercises.

Ah Zi was silent, and watched the men in the village bidding for the auction.

After all, the rich people in the village were in the minority, and soon, most of the young men stopped talking, and only three men remained to bid and raise the price.

There is always a time when the money is spent, and in the end, the most beautiful woman recognized by the villagers was taken away by a man. This man looks like he has a round waist and belly, and at first glance he looks like he grew up in a rich family.

Next, several good-looking women were called out for auction, and as long as the young men and women held hands in front of this giant tree, which symbolized the prosperity of their children and grandchildren, it was equivalent to acknowledging that they were married in front of the gods.

The girl took it away, the deposit was paid, and the two of them had to complete the wedding within a year, and if the two did not get along very well in the future, they had to destroy the marriage contract in front of the giant tree and return the deposit.

However, the punishment for them is that they have to wait three years before they can participate in the marriage festival again.

It's actually a bit brutal.

The women were listed among the crowd of onlookers, and the auction order and the enthusiasm for the bidding were still cold, which was a ruthless testament to their appearance and popularity.

And the men are not comfortable, the rich can take away the beautiful women, and the poor people who have no money can't expect to get back the good-looking women in the first place.

They usually choose girls who are not pretty, but who can bring money to his family.

The rule of Xianyou Village is that the money paid by the beautiful girl photographed by the rich man is not given to the woman's family, but to the management of the village, and the money will not be stolen by anyone, except for a part left by the construction of the village, the rest will be distributed to the ugly and defective marriageable woman.

As a result, these women have a better chance of marrying someone from their village because of the wealth they bring.

Three hours passed, and the auction of the young marriageable woman finally entered the final crucial point, leaving only the last woman who had not yet been auctioned.

"Cai'er. ”

The chief of the village called, and the last remaining girl stepped forward, and she walked very slowly.

This woman's appearance can be described as ugly, her face is covered with black moles of various sizes, some of which have been connected together, and she even looks a little scary.

This is not the most important thing, when the village chief called her name, she took a few steps forward, and everyone saw that she was walking lame.

Not only can you not please a man with your appearance, but it is also inconvenient for you to work to help your family with farm work, which is indeed the next choice in marriage.

"Shhhh

When this Cai'er girl walked out, Ah Zi not only bared her teeth and sighed.

The nearby onlookers were not surprised, perhaps because they all lived in the same village, and they knew who had what kind of girl.

The village chief announced from a high place that the last Cai'er girl would bring the most bride price to her in-law's house, but even so, the remaining young people at the scene were silent.

Most of them have already left, and some are still hesitating with difficulty, and they are slow to bid.

Huangfu Yanqi looked at this woman named Cai'er, but felt that this woman was unusual. Although she is ugly and walks lamely, she is not hurried when she walks, and she does not seem to have low self-esteem.

Standing in front of the giant tree, she seemed to be very slender and weak, several men at the scene were silent and did not speak, and some had already left the scene in advance, and there were people around Qi Qiao who were watching, which made Miss Cai'er a little cramped.

Her eyes couldn't help but look at the people at the scene, although there were too many black moles on her face, which covered the brilliance of her eyes, but although she was nervous and a little anxious in her eyes, there was still a kind of elegance.

She looks less than twenty years old, with a pointed jaw and a posture that looks like a cultured woman.

Cai'er looked at the man in front of her anxiously, and her eyes seemed to say, please ask for me and don't leave.

But the crampedness continues, and it goes on.

Her existence made this year's auction wedding festival in Xianyou Village extremely embarrassing, and the village chief was also a little embarrassed.

I don't know when it will end, or will it end hastily?
