Chapter 220: Joint Burial
Facing the young man's inquiry, Gu Qi nodded without blinking and admitted: "That's right, it's the two of us, the two of us are friends of the bride, and we haven't been here before." ”
Wei Nanyu followed his words and spoke: "At first, we thought we were looking for a mistake, so we waited at the entrance of the village for a while, but fortunately we met you, otherwise we don't know what to do, thank you for coming to pick us up." ”
The young man was a little embarrassed by her words: "There is nothing to thank, this is what I should do, let's go quickly!" Otherwise, it will be said that the hour is missed. ”
"The hour? What time is it? ”
Wei Nanyu subconsciously asked, and it wasn't until he saw the young man's face that he realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing.
"Aren't you friends with the bride? Didn't she tell you? ”
"Didn't we tell you we've been out of town before? It was too far away from here for us to contact us, so we rushed over before we had time to ask for details as soon as we learned the news. ”
Wei Nanyu said very calmly: "You don't know our bride, but you know, are we her friends, won't you know when you ask?" Besides, we are not the only people who go to the wedding banquet, don't we all want to be happy if we know or not? ”
After she finished speaking, she saw that the doubts in the young man's eyes had not faded, so she simply gritted her teeth and grabbed Gu Qi's arm and leaned on his shoulder: "Actually, I originally wanted to keep this matter a secret, you should be able to see that the relationship between the two of us will be married soon, so this time I want to see what details are needed to get married." ”
After Wei Nanyu finished speaking, the young man's face finally relaxed: "I see, I'm sorry I shouldn't ask about your private affairs." ”
"It's okay, sooner or later we are going to get married, it's just a matter of time." Gu Qi also followed Wei Nanyu's words.
"Since you have this thought, then I wish you a hundred years of happiness, but this wedding banquet is good for you to see, you don't need to learn," the young man shook his head, "Don't ask me the specific reason, you'll know when you arrive." ”
The two of them followed the young man, turned left and right, and walked into a large courtyard, where the tables and chairs were placed and the color of the room was exactly the same as what they saw in the cave.
Wei Nanyu set his eyes on the eaves of the wedding room: "Not only is the courtyard the same here, but even the wedding room is the same as in the cave, the eaves of the wedding room in the cave are missing a corner, and there is also a piece missing in the same position here." ”
"I've also seen the plates, even if they are full of dishes, I can see that the number of plates is the same as before," Gu Qi retracted his gaze, "Let's wait and see what happens, and then we'll look for clues when we have to act." ”
After the young man brought them here, he found that no one questioned the identities of the two guests, and he said with a smile: "My mission to send you here is complete, then I will go somewhere else first, and you will see for yourself first?" ”
"Wait a minute, little brother," Wei Nanyu called him, his expression a little nervous and expectant, "We haven't been here before, may I ask if the one with the red lantern at the door is the wedding room?" We want to surprise our friends, can we go and see it later? ”
The young man nodded: "Of course you are friends with the bride, just talk to the person at the door." ”
He chatted with the two of them a few more words and left in a hurry.
The tables in the courtyard were filled with the bride and groom's guests, many of whom Wei Nanyu had seen in the previous procession, and the sound of these people sitting together drinking wine and laughing filled the courtyard.
Gu Qi looked at Wei Nanyu: "Split up?" You go to the bride's side, and the guests here will be handed over to me. ”
Wei Nanyu nodded and walked to the wedding room, talked to the people guarding nearby halfway, and then got permission to come to the door of the house.
"Please, teacher, I don't want to be this bride, will you let me go? From now on, I promised you everything, and I will never refute your opinion again, I promised everything you asked me to do before, but this time it really doesn't work! ”
Wei Nanyu walked in a few steps and observed the situation inside through the crack in the door, and found that the person who said this was the female ghost in red before, that is, the female student Lin Lin, but at this time she was kneeling on the ground in her student uniform and begging for the person in front of her.
"If you can promise me anything, why can't you agree to this matter? I'm usually so good to you, can't you forget it? I have paid all the tuition fees since you entered the school, why don't you think about it if I have done so much for you? ”
"Please spare me, I don't want to die...... I really don't want to die! ”
Lin Lin's crying was extremely sad, but because it was too lively outside, it couldn't be transmitted to the courtyard, Wei Nanyu quietly observed the situation inside, and found that Wang Ying put the wedding dress on her with the two villagers after scolding Lin Lin.
"Let go of me, I don't wear it, I don't wear it!"
"What are you shouting?" Wang Ying raised her hand and slapped her on the cheek, "Don't worry, this is just a favor for me, I will take care of your parents for you, I will tell them that you will not be able to come back for the time being when you go out for further study, and I will send them the money every month, so what are you not satisfied with?" ”
After she finished speaking, she tied Lin Lin to the stool with the two of them, stuffed a cloth ball in her mouth, and then walked towards the door, Wei Nanyu hurriedly turned around and pretended to be talking to the other guests, and then saw Wang Ying, who was dressed in disguise, hurriedly walked out of the house with her head down.
Wang Ying ran to the villagers guarding the door of the house and said a few words to him, the two of them looked left and right and walked to the corner and talked quietly, Wei Nanyu immediately followed them carefully to listen to the specific conversation.
At this time, Gu Qi also heard a lot of news, he looked around for Wei Nanyu, and when he saw her in the corner, he raised his foot and was about to step forward, but he didn't expect Wei Nanyu to turn back at this time.
"You're back so soon?" She asked Gu Qi, "Did you hear any news?" ”
"That's right, a very important news, the groom is not alive at all, he has already died, this wedding banquet is a secret marriage from beginning to end, and when the ceremony is over, there will be a Taoist chief to close the coffin for the newlyweds, simply put, the bride will be buried alive, and I already know the location."
Gu Qi's words corresponded to what Wei Nanyu overheard, and the two of them sat for a while before making excuses to slip away from the banquet and come to the place where they were buried alive in advance, and after a while, there were voices of talking and scolding nearby.
"The bride actually wanted to run away just now, but fortunately I saw it and was caught," a middle-aged man scolded and said, "This marriage can't be delayed, if you don't want the whole village to be damned, it's better to be obedient, and everyone will thank you in the future." ”
Wei Nanyu looked at Lin Lin, who was constantly struggling, and sighed: "Her mouth is blocked by the cloth ball, even if she wants to open her mouth for help, there is no way." ”
"It seems that we will save her in a while," Gu Qi looked at the Dao Leader who came over and said, "This is an important NPC." ”
