The black-pressed crowd stood in the corner of the town center, and there were probably hundreds of people, men, women, and children, all in the same color of long shirts, looking towards the very middle.

Four servant-like young men, carrying the scarlet sedan chair, stopped in the middle.

The people in black cloth shirts blocked the surrounding crowd, making it impossible for the crowd to get close to the sedan chair.

Red was supposed to represent the color of festivities, but at this moment, it looked so weird under the light of the dark shadows of the crowd, as if someone had splashed black dog blood.

Chu Yan slowly squeezed into the front of the crowd and deliberately covered himself with the man next to him.

The sedan chair stopped in front, and strangely four young men did not shed a drop of sweat.

They wore cloth shoes and green clothes, the costumes of the ancients.

It is estimated that this is an alternate history, and it does not conform to any dynasty, speaking vernacular and wearing ancient costumes.

What a confused feeling.

The clue of the dynasty was cut off, and Chu Yan silently erased this line in his heart.

The men around were talking in whispers.

"Who is Zhou Kexin of the Zhou family going to marry?"

"I don't know.. We only got a notice from the mayor two days ago that we were inviting the whole town to come and see our daughter get married. ”

"I secretly asked the school-age young people in the town in private, but no one admitted that they were the one who married Zhou Kexin, if they could really marry her... No one is hiding it. ”

The person who spoke, his eyes couldn't help but poke into the red sedan chair, with a little yearning for beauty.

Chu Yan listened silently from a distance, and he could be very sure that this mission must be related to this wedding.

In other words, how can anyone carry their daughter's sedan chair to so many people, don't they usually walk around?

But now it was carried in the center like this, motionless.

This makes people feel very deliberate, like the mayor deliberately showing his daughter's wedding to everyone.

In the center of the town is a large circular square, which is surrounded by a crowd of black oppressors, also in a circular shape.

As if some cult ritual, the surrounding crowd was whispering, like countless black shadows.

"Do you think it will be someone from the outside.. Married Miss Kexin. ”

"How is that possible? The girls in our town will marry outsiders."

The man was halfway through his speech, and his face was afraid.

The person who talked to him didn't care: "What are you afraid of, isn't it that the husband's family will die, now the town has sealed the passages in and out, and there are no outsiders, so it's nothing." ”

"It seems to be. It's really strange to say, just for Miss Kexin's marriage, does the mayor need to seal the passage in and out? He also sent those subordinates to guard it. ”

"Hey, maybe there's something else going on. The strangest thing is that the husband's family who died unexpectedly has never appeared in previous years, and since last year, as long as the girls in our town get married, the husband's family will definitely die. Will it be with that legend .."

"Okay, okay, don't say it. You see, the mayor is here. ”

Chu Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, and memorized all these key words in his mind.

"I don't know whose wedding the groom is", "The husband's family who died unexpectedly", "The town that is temporarily forbidden to enter and leave", "The legend".

These terms can be concatenated to slowly sort out the truth.

A short, middle-aged fat man slowly appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

He was wearing a blue gown, and his two beards were stained on his fat face, which looked very obscene.

It was obviously his daughter's wedding day, but his face was expressionless, as if it was not the wedding day, but his daughter's death.

The surrounding chatter was lowered, and Mayor Zhou, who looked obscene, was obviously very majestic.

"Everybody be quiet and listen to me." He lifted his black cuffs, a chill in his eyes.

The subtle chatter was gone.

"Today is my daughter Zhou Kexin's big day."

He said it word by word, but his tone was full of unbearable, as if this "big day" was his daughter's funeral.

"Lovely husband's family. . . It's a kraken. ”

There were some old men in the crowd with old faces, all of whom were pale.

Hundreds of people all had surprised expressions, they lived in Stove King Town, and naturally knew the legend of the "Siren".

Chu Yan stared at the figure in the red sedan chair, her figure was graceful and slender, she should be able to hear her father's speech, but she didn't react at all.

If it's an ordinary woman, when she hears that she's going to marry a youkai, she may have to do something.

Is it because I mentioned it before? Or is there something else...

There were all sorts of whispers coming from the crowd.

"Oh my God, isn't that just a legend? Is there really a Kraken? Even if there is, why would Kexin want to marry it? ”

"I don't know, but I think it has something to do with the strange things of the year."

"Are you saying that the women who marry in our town will kill their husbands' families?"

"It's hard to say, it's hard to say..."

Mayor Zhou had already anticipated this situation and coughed lightly.

"Ah Shui, you mean. That thing came back to us? An old man with gray hair asked him, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

Mayor Zhou, known as "Ah Shui", nodded.

"I know there are a lot of people you who don't know about it."

The crowd all fell silent, waiting for him to speak.

"Usually only the mayor and the old people know about it."

The old people stopped talking, their eyes flashing, and they didn't seem to want to open their mouths.

Finally, Mayor Zhou spoke slowly.

"Zaowang Town was not suitable for living in the beginning because of frequent disasters."

"Until the ancestors later offered sacrifices to a kraken called Ki, which has magical powers to protect the people of Stove King Town from disasters."

"However, it is a demon, and one day it reveals its greedy face, saying that it needs the sacrifice of a young woman to resist the erosion of natural disasters."

Naturally, the ancestors refused, saying that they did not need its power, and that they would rely on their clansmen to survive the natural disaster. Later, he left, and before leaving, he said that he had helped Zaowang Town after all, and he would charge interest.

"The interest is on this day three hundred years later, at the moment of the full moon, and I will marry a young woman enshrined in Stove King Town in the original contract land, otherwise I will take revenge on the people of Stove King Town."

The crowd was in an uproar, they didn't expect there to be such a legend in the town.

"And last year today, exactly three hundred years, but we did not offer a bride to worship, and since last year, as long as the girls in our town marry outside, the husband's family will suffer accidents."

"And I went to those girls privately, and said that on that night in the cave room, I would hear the fluttering singing, and after listening to it, they all fell into a coma, and the husband's family died inexplicably."

Mayor Zhou sighed lightly: "This is also the reason why I have closed the entrance and exit of the town for the past two days, so that outsiders cannot know our situation."

"This is the revenge of the pestle on us!"

He said categorically, his tone indignant, and his beard trembled.

Everyone in the square seemed to be infected by this anger, and one by one they were filled with righteous indignation, and the lads even rolled out their sleeves to reveal their strong little arms.

Chu Yan stared at the shadow in the red sedan chair, knowing that this matter was not so simple.
