Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Mountain God Marries

Mother Hu's face was frightened, she grabbed Bai Ning's hand, her lips trembled, and her trembling fingers pointed straight out of the door.

Seeing this, Bai Ning helped Hu's mother, and walked to the gate with Qiao Xiya and Chunling, and the three of them followed Hu's mother's fingers, lying on the crack of the door and looking out, in the thick of the night, a pure white carriage like paper quietly drove into Huimeng County.

Pure white horses, pure white carriages, even the wheels of the carriage are pure white, and the pure white tassels on the edge of the canopy are shaking as the car advances, and the carriage without a coachman quietly passes through Huimeng County and walks towards the mountains behind Huimeng County.

Seeing that the carriage was getting farther and farther away, and it was completely invisible, Bai Ning and the others turned around and helped Hu's mother, who was sitting on the ground, back to the house.

After entering the house, Bai Ning lightly closed the door of the house to make sure that there was no movement outside, and then asked, "What's going on?"

"The mountain god marries." Mother Hu lowered her voice.

As soon as the four words came out, Qiao Xiya couldn't help but be shocked.

"Half a year ago, there was a wandering warlock here," Hu's mother lowered her voice, "That warlock is very powerful, he can pinch and calculate, at that time, many people asked him to see, find objects or something, as soon as he said a quasi, then someone asked him, where his daughter went, and the warlock said to go to the mountain god as a wife." And not only did their daughters become the wife of the mountain god, but everyone in Huimeng County who lost their daughters went to the mountain god to be a wife and a maidservant. ”

"That's nonsense!" Bai Ning angrily interrupted Hu's mother's words, "What a warlock, this is clearly a charlatan!" ”

"Shh Mother Hu hurriedly glanced at Bai Ning, wanting to pull his hand and stretch out halfway, but she didn't dare to go any further.

"Childe, listen to the old man's words." Hu's mother was so anxious that tears were about to come out.

"Mom, you say." Bai Ning finally sat next to Mother Hu and asked her to continue.

"The warlock said that the mountain god did not take it by force, he left a dowry, and we were only blamed for being greedy for money...... "Hu's mother said, shedding two lines of muddy tears.

"Mother Hu, you have seen the world, so you may be greedy for money......" Bai Ning interrupted Mother Hu's words.

"Yes, but it's not mine." Mother Hu raised her teary eyes and looked at Bai Ning, her cloudy teary eyes and trembling lips made people feel distressed, "I just want to save some money for Ling'er to marry, I even asked from door to door, but they all said that it was not lost by their own family, I think too, how can there be such a delicate hairpin in this poor and remote land......"

"You mean hairpins?" Qiao Xiya interrupted Mother Hu's words, holding Mother Hu with both hands, trembling slightly.

Hu's mother nodded: "I wanted to insert it on Ling'er's head, but I never saw my Ling'er again." Mother Hu raised her head and looked at Qiao Xiya, stretched out her calloused hand and touched Qiao Xiya's face, there was indescribable love in her eyes, "If I hadn't been greedy to leave that hairpin, wouldn't Ling'er have left me, would she have been able to stand in front of me like you are now......" Before the words were finished, Mother Hu couldn't cry.

Seeing that Hu's mother was crying bitterly, Qiao Xiya and Bai Ning didn't want to ask any more, so they had to pat her on the back and try to comfort her.

"Uh......h Woo......" A creepy fluttered in the night sky, terrifying.

"Girl...... Did you hear that......" Chunling couldn't help but lean closer to Qiao Xiya.

"Everyone only saw the newcomer laughing, but how could they hear the old man crying...... "Hu's mother stopped crying, and the desperate voice made Chunling tremble.

"Mother Hu, it's not early, we've been on the road for a day, let's rest early." Bai Ning said, picked up Hu's mother, and walked towards the back room.

"What do you think?" After settling Hu's mother, Bai Ning returned to the hall and saw Qiao Xiya stunned looking at the white moonlight on the ground in the courtyard, so she stepped forward to talk.

"I know that the mountain god is married." Qiao Xiya looked at the moonlight on the ground in a daze, and her voice was surprisingly calm, "I once saw a booklet called Persona of the former dynasty in my father's study, which recorded the marriage of the mountain god. Qiao Xiya glanced at Bai Ning and motioned for him to sit down.

Bai Ning poured a cup of tea casually, put it in Qiao Xiya's hand, and sat down on the side, looking at Qiao Xiya quietly.

Seeing Bai Ning sitting still, Qiao Xiya continued: "Before the mountain god marries, he will put a jewelry at the door of the door of the person he likes, or a hairpin bracelet, or a sachet and jade pendant, if this family picks up the jewelry, it means that the mountain god has received the dowry of the mountain god, and the mountain god will give the family a dream on the night of the dowry, if not, wait for the dream to wake up and put the dowry back outside the door, if it is agreed, the mountain god will choose an auspicious day of the zodiac, so that the mountain has become a fine weasel and the like carry a red sedan chair to pick up the kiss, Carry the woman he fancied up the mountain, and leave her on the mountain, forever. ”

"It's the first time I've heard that there really is a mountain god to marry?" Bai Ning was silent for a long time before he spoke leisurely, "However, you are exceptionally calm today." ”

Qiao Xiya smiled shyly: "These are all things I know, so there is nothing to be afraid of."

"But your sister Ling'er and Yingying, the owner of the teahouse, definitely didn't meet the mountain god to marry." Qiao Xiya paused and continued.

"You just said that there is a mountain god to marry......" Bai Ning didn't understand Qiao Xiya's words too much.

"Yes, yes, but what happens here is definitely not." Qiao Xiya's categorical tone made Bai Ning a little stunned.

"You see, Mother Hu did pick up the hairpin, but Ling'er disappeared first." Qiao Xiya analyzed a little bit patiently, "And Mother Hu has not been entrusted with dreams, even the carriage is white, not red......"

"Yes......" Bai Ning nodded in agreement.

"Uh......h Woo ......" As he was speaking, a burst of miserable cries reached Qiao Xiya's ears again, and Chunling beside her was so frightened that her hairs stood on end, and she grabbed Qiao Xiya's sleeve, almost crying: "Girl, you said that this is not the mountain god to marry...... Could it be a mountain ghost......

"Click!" Before Chunling's words fell, a bolt of lightning fell from the sky, illuminating Chunling's pale face, and as soon as the lightning landed, the deafening thunder followed. "Ahh Chunling was frightened by the thunder, and hid under the table with a scream.

And Chunling's words also made Qiao Xiya chuckle in her heart, fear was like a vine, sprouting from the bottom of her heart, flowing along the blood all over her body, and drilling through every pore.

"Bai Gongzi...... Maybe...... Is it ghostly? Qiao Xiya tried her best to control it, but her voice was already trembling wildly.

"Click!" Another thunderbolt fell, and Qiao Xiya shrank into a ball on the stool in fright.
