Chapter 9 Chapter 102 The people are fierce
Caidie was stunned by Su Wangting and unconsciously took a step back, and asked puzzledly, "You... Why do you have such a heart for this girl? ”
Su Wangting snatched Bai Kui's long knife: "She is my friend!" ”
Su Wangting suddenly recalled that Bai Kui was in the Frost Flower Palace that day, but he overheard himself talking to Pan Zaixing.
So it's no surprise to know you'll be heading straight for Kurosawa.
But how did this girl know that Kurosawa was in the territory of the Nightflow Country?
Could it be that she went to the Phantom Smoke Pavilion?
Instead of stopping her from coming, Mu Shilan told her where Kurosawa was?
That's it!!
Thinking of this, Su Wangting covered his face, shook his head and said: "Presumably, this ancestor is looking for me, and with her brutal and fiery temper, it is no wonder that I don't offend you." ”
"Huh?" Caidie was shocked when she heard this, and then lowered her head with a sad face, "This... That's how it can be good. If you go and take her back, won't we offend the tax collector? ”
Su Wangting's face sank: "Then are you willing to offend the tax officer, or me?" ”
"Offend the tax collector." Caidie replied without thinking.
If you offend the tax officer, you can only send some money to make amends, and then find him a daughter-in-law.
Can you offend the blood Shura in front of you who once destroyed the White Tiger Hall alone in a fit of anger?
Caidie shook her head vigorously in her heart.
Who would be stupid enough to put the sect in danger of being wiped out?
Which is more important, as the master of the door, of course, she weighs it clearly.
Sticking Bai Kui's long knife into his waist, Su Wangting asked anxiously, "Where is the tax official's mansion?" ”
Caidie thought for a moment and replied, "It's not very far. More than 100 miles away in the western suburbs of Anche City. ”
"I know, I've been." Qian Duoduo suddenly ran in, "I once went to that village to sell medicinal herbs, I'll take you there." ”
Caidie's lips opened slightly, and she wanted to speak and stopped.
In the end, there was a lot of money that didn't stop it.
Su Wangting saw her thoughts and said, "The door master's worries are understood. After regaining my friend, no matter whether there is anyone chasing after him, it is inconvenient to come to your faction to settle down, otherwise I am afraid that it will affect your faction. ”
Saying that, Su Wangting stretched out his hand and rubbed Qian Duoduo's head: "Hurry up and change your Gu Master's clothes, don't let people see that there are people from the Six-Colored Sect next to me, otherwise it will definitely affect your sect." After rescuing my friend, we will go directly to Kyushu to help you find your relatives. ”
"Really!?" Qian Duoduo jumped and clapped his hands, his face was full of splendor.
Su Wangting smiled helplessly: "Really." Hurry up and remember to pack your belongings. ”
"Okay!"
Qian Duoduo ran out happily.
Caidie looked at Qian Duoduo's cheerful back, her face was sad, and she sighed: "This girl is leaving, I don't know when I will see her." Thinking that there will be one less crazy girl running around in the village in the future, I ...... It's uncomfortable. ”
"Are you worried that she won't come back after she finds her relatives?"
Caidie rubbed the corners of her eyes and bowed slightly: "Yes." But then again, Duoduo is a Kyushu native after all, even if she doesn't return to Liucaimen, it will be a matter of course. ”
Su Wangting comforted softly: "This is where she grew up, and you are all relatives who raised her. I think she'll come back when she's found her people's wishes. ”
Caidie covered her mouth and sobbed, and nodded: "I wish." ”
After lunch, Caidie personally sent the two to the gate of the village.
Not only the colorful butterflies, but almost all the people in the village spontaneously walked out of the gate of the village, and they were reluctant to look at the living treasure that the whole village had held in the palm of their hands.
Qian Duoduo, who had no heart and lungs, became a little sad at this time, pursed his small mouth and looked around at everyone, but finally couldn't hold back, and threw himself into Caidie's arms with red eyes.
"Shame or not, you're already a big girl." Butterfly caressed her back.
As if she were dealing with a child who was away from home for the first time, Caidie whispered in her ear that there was half a stick of incense, and then she tearfully urged her to go on the road.
The two horses, one after the other, left Charong Village.
Su Wangting silently followed behind Qian Duoduo, looking at the lonely petite back, not knowing how to speak to comfort him.
At this time, she must be extremely melancholy.
After silently walking for more than 30 miles, Su Wangting spoke: "Duoduo, if you are not psychologically prepared, you can go back to Charong Village, and it will be the same if you go to find relatives in the future." ”
"No!" Unexpectedly, Qian Duoduo simply shouted, patted a bulging cloth bag on his carry, "I can't let my father wait any longer, I swore that I would take him back to the ancestral grave for burial as soon as possible." ”
Su Wangting was stunned when he heard this, stared at the cloth bag as if he expected something, and asked hesitantly, "...... in your bag?"
Qian Duoduo held the cloth bag in his arms and replied softly: "It's my father's columbarium." ”
When Su Wangting heard this, he was speechless for a long time.
After walking silently for more than ten miles, he said, "With me here, don't worry." We're going to get your dad and mom home without a hitch. ”
"Hmm!" Qian Duoduo nodded heavily, turned around and gave Su Wangting a big smile.
"Later, if there are villages along the way, can you buy some candy?"
"Wow!!"
So the petite figure in front of him shook his head again with the frequency of the horse's pace, and from time to time turned his head to look around for the chirping birds, and the little whistle blew one after another.
Looking at Qian Duoduo, who was reactivated, Su Wangting, who was following behind, smiled comfortably.
They spent the night in the villages along the way, and it was not until near noon on the next day that they arrived at the village where the tax collector was.
The scale of the village is not small, and there are forty or fifty large and small bamboo houses as far as the eye can see.
In the open space in the center of the village, more than 20 bamboo tables have been placed, and some dishes have been served on the table. The villagers in the village walked out of their homes one after another and sat down at these bamboo tables.
After Qian Duoduo's introduction, it was learned that the largest bamboo building in front of the open space was the ancestral hall; According to the custom of the night stream country, after the newlyweds have worshiped their ancestors in the ancestral hall, the wedding will begin.
Su Wangting secretly said that the customs of this wedding are similar to those of Kyushu, and it seems that the folk customs and culture of the Night Stream Country are also deeply influenced by Kyushu.
It's just that Su Wangting still feels incredible about the fierce folk customs of catching a woman on the road and coming back to get married.
According to Qian Duoduo, according to custom, the bride's maiden home is asked where the bride's maiden home is after the second day of the cave house, and then on the seventh day, the man visits the bride's maiden home with rich gifts and pays for a banquet for the bride's relatives and friends.
Well, it's really a tough folk style.
It doesn't matter if your mother's family wants it or not, cut it first and then play it, and then notify you after the hole.
Before that, the identity of the son-in-law was unknown, and he didn't even know why his daughter suddenly disappeared.
It wasn't until the door was visited after marriage that the mother's family suddenly realized.
When the raw rice is cooked, we will know who my daughter is married to.
According to custom, even if you marry a beggar, your mother's family must not object, otherwise your husband's family can report to the official.
It's even more exciting than gambling.
Su Wangting imagined the scene when the new son-in-law came to the door, and he must have laughed at his father-in-law and said, "The son-in-law is a person who asks for food, is he surprised?" Not surprised? ”
Thinking that the father-in-law must have forcibly swallowed a mouthful of old blood, he laughed and said, "Lao Tzu can't help it when he is unexpected!" ”
Su Wangting pulled Qian Duoduo and picked a bamboo table at random and sat down.
Facing the strange eyes of the people at the table, Su Wangting only smiled and said that he was a relative of the man. But no one was suspicious, and they fooled the past.
Gradually, more and more people sat at the table.
The voices of mutual discussion are also getting noisier and louder.
It's mostly about the couple.
Some people say that the stupid son of the tax collector's family is so blessed that he picked up such a beautiful woman and came back to marry.
Some people also say that the woman is so blessed that she can be the daughter-in-law of the tax officer's family, which can be regarded as climbing a high branch.
During this period, some villagers at the same table asked Su Wangting what he thought.
Su Wangting said while sipping melon seeds: "Well, I think the bride's maiden family will definitely be pleasantly surprised." ”
Su Wangting imagined that if Bai Taixing saw a stupid son-in-law coming to the door, he was afraid that the knife drawing technique that had not been performed for many years would definitely recover his hand in an instant.
Thinking about it, Su Wangting actually smiled when he ate it.
And the villagers at the same table stared at the man who was smirking to himself, thoughtfully. They all looked at each other for a moment and nodded in unison, as if they had reached some kind of consensus.
It seems that the groom's relatives also have a tradition of giving birth to stupid sons.
"Boom!! Boom!! Boom!! ”
Suddenly, I only heard the sound of the gong three times, which frightened Su Wangting and almost choked on melon seeds.
Immediately, I saw an old man slowly walking to the front of the ancestral hall, and said loudly: "The auspicious time has come~~~ The newcomer enters the ancestral hall and worships the ancestors ~~~"
After speaking, bursts of firecrackers rang out.
In a puff of green smoke, Su Wangting faintly saw a couple of newcomers in red shirts slowly walking into the ancestral hall.
Unexpectedly, the bride was also walking by herself, but a famous maid was supporting her.
"Huh!? Didn't your master say that he had poisoned people? Su Wangting asked in a low voice.
Qian Duoduo stood on tiptoe when he heard this, squinted and observed for a moment before sitting down, and replied softly: "Eighty percent was placed under the Soul Lost Gu." ”
"Lost Soul Gu??"
Qian Duoduo nodded: "Yes." The person who fell into this Gu not only had his meridians blocked and could not get lucky, but also allowed the Gu caster to control his body movements. Although he is sober and can see and hear, he is unable to speak. I just took a look, and the one who was supporting the white girl was one of my senior sisters. ”
Su Wangting bowed slightly: "I see, there is a Gu Master who has been controlling by his side." ”
"Why don't I go over secretly now and tell the senior sister about the situation, so that she can solve the Gu immediately?"
"But don't!" Su Wangting waved his hand again and again, "If that girl solves the Gu here, do you think she will be furious and kill no one of the villagers?" ”
Qian Duoduo stuck out his tongue: "Is the white girl so powerful?" ”
Su Wangting snorted lightly: "That's!" There's something this girl can't do. With a group of people, he dared to rush to Kyushu and Tieshan Temple desperately, killing more than 50 people. ”
"My mother, dare to provoke Tieshan Temple?" Qian Duoduo tiptoed and looked at the ancestral hall again, "Tsk, it seems that this white girl is really a heroine among women, I will learn more from her in the future." ”
Su Wangting smiled bitterly: "You can learn from anyone, but don't follow her." If you learn the brutal habit of not being afraid of heaven and earth, you can still get it. ”
As he was talking, he saw several shirtless strong men carrying a heavy bluestone with a pole wrapped in red cloth, placing it at the door of the ancestral hall and saluting the old man who presided over the wedding.
The old man looked at Qingshi with a smile and nodded again and again, seemingly very satisfied.
I saw that this bluestone is in the shape of a long strip, the corners are polished very neatly, and all sides are carved with exquisite ornamentation. In the middle of the ornament on one side is engraved with three big characters - marriage beam.
"What is this stone for?" Su Wangting asked puzzled.
Qian Duoduo explained: "It is a kind of marriage ceremony. After the newlyweds come out of the worship after a while, they will let the men who come to the wedding banquet step forward one by one and pat the marriage beam with their palms. If the marriage beam is not broken, it means that God agrees to this marriage. Hehe, not to mention ordinary people with such a thick stone beam, it is difficult for even a master with profound internal strength to break it with one palm. It's just a ritual. ”
Su Wangting suddenly realized.
Then a wicked smile appeared on his face.
"It's okay. I like it! ”
