Chapter 24 The Bride's Choice

Lin Yan opened his mouth and said, "Why does the old man live in this mountain forest with you?" ”

The old man thought about it for a while, but decided to tell the story.

Grandpa: "Because my daughter ......"

"Daughter?"

"Daughter?"

Sure enough, women are already gossiping, whether it is modern or ancient, or this world of cultivation. Huaxi and Du Siniang said in unison, and then Huaxi looked at Du Siniang, disdainful, and shifted his gaze to the old man.

Wang Ji: "My real name is Wang Ji, a native of Taixin Village, that is, today's Tong Xiwan, originally this Taixin Village is also prosperous, not to mention how prosperous, but it is also lively all day long, I also have a wife and a daughter, just seven years ago what a ghost bride, every time there is a bride in the village to get married, the ghost bride will take away the bride, eat the groom official, and gradually the village will have no bride and groom official, I thought this was too peaceful, I didn't expect him to be more and more ruthless, every year to a bride in the lunar year, Last year's bride was my daughter. My daughter-in-law ended up depressed because of her daughter's affairs, and I had no relatives, so I took the plaques of the two of them."

Wang Ji cried after speaking, it should be because he missed his wife and daughter or hated the ghost bride, but he couldn't resist.

Du Shi Niang: "Why didn't you think about escaping?" ”

When Wang Ji heard about the escape, his emotions became even more angry, and his eyes almost popped out.

Wang Ji: "Run!" Why didn't you think about escaping! Those who escaped were captured by the ghost bride and threw their heads at the door of the house......"

Huaxi: "Has the old man asked someone to kill this ghost bride?" ”

Wang Ji: "Please, it's all fruitless." ”

Lin Yan listened to so much on the side, and still had some questions, such as the old woman who was setting up a stall at the entrance of the village and the eyes of those people......

Lin Yan: "I still have some questions for the elderly. ”

In a moment, Wang Ji handled his emotions.

Wang Ji: "Immortal Chief, you speak." ”

Lin Yan: "Why did the people at the entrance of the village hide and stare at us when they see us?" ”

When Wang Ji heard Lin Yan say that they came in from the entrance of the village, he immediately panicked, and he couldn't finish his words in a hurry.

Wang Ji: "You say...... Phew, you're from the entrance of the village!? ”

Lin Yan was a little puzzled, why was he so panicked from the entrance of the village...... Could it be here...... Are there any other rules?

Wang Ji: "Then did you see Granny Yi setting up a stall at the entrance of the village?" ”

Lin Yan confirmed to Wang Ji without hurrying: "There is indeed such a person." ”

This confirmation made the old man Wang Ji stand up directly from the stool, lingering in the eyes of everyone, and kept muttering what to do.

Huaxi was puzzled, although she didn't come from the entrance of the village, she still wanted to know what taboos were there?

Huaxi: "Grandpa, can't you come from the entrance of the village?" ”

Lin Yan looked at Wang Ji's voice trembling a little, as if he was afraid of something.

Wang Ji walked to the door and looked around to see if there were any suspicious people, and immediately closed the door with a panicked expression.

Wang Ji: "You came from the entrance of the village...... Somebody is going to be the bride of the year......"

Lin Yan was shocked, and the eyes of everyone looked at Du Shi Niang

From the entrance of the village are Lin Yan and Du Shi Niang, just Du Shi Niang is a woman, naturally people will think that it is her.

Du Siniang was very scared, what did she mean to be the bride this year......

Du Shi Niang: "I'm not a bride, I'm not a ......"

Du Shi Niang held Lin Yan's sleeve and cried pear blossoms with rain, but it made Huaxi feel a trace of sympathy, life is like this, it will be better for her in the future.

Lin Yan: What should I do about this...... For the first time, I missed Comrade Yiyi so much, so I had to think of a way to comfort Du Siniang.

However, Lin Yan's comfort and comfort method is to divert attention.

Lin Yan asked Wang Ji why he wanted to become a bride when he entered the village?

Wang Ji: "Because there are very few people in the village, they experience that all qualified foreign women become brides, and foreign men are grooms, and the bride and groom cannot meet, and then the ghost bride will come to see if her bride is satisfied, and if she is satisfied, she will get married in three days...... So you're dangerous tonight...... I...... I can't keep you anymore......"

He drove the three out of the door, and the three stood in front of the door a little dazed.

Du Shi Niang spoke, with a somewhat nasal voice: "Engong, what should I do now?" ”

Lin Yan thought about it, but there were not too many clues, so he had to take one step at a time, that is, the first step was to find a house where he could stay......

When the three of them came to the street, the people on the street were busy closing, and they didn't arrive at night, so why were these people in a hurry to close?

Huaxi flattered Lin Yan's order and went to the front one by one to ask if she could spend the night, but the reality was very skinny, and they were all rejected by those people one by one with excuses.

Then Huaxi stopped a house that was about to close, and the woman saw Huaxi blocking her door, with a pleading look on her face.

"Please, let me go, I really can't stay overnight."

Seeing this, Huaxi had no choice but to withdraw her hand, and the woman quickly closed the door.

Huaxi: "What kind of bad excuse is that I am going to give birth to a pig, and I want to go back to deliver the baby...... It's not his wife. ”

Lin Yan seemed to have expected this result, and his expression was very calm.

Lin Yan: I don't want to be so calm, but one is mentally damaged, the other is weak, and I can support the overall situation.

Lin Yan silently explained to her that she was a fried kitten: "If it were you, you were a powerless woman, someone wanted to stay at your house, but your family would be in danger, would you let him stay there?" ”

Huaxi thought for a while, then lowered her head, it was her mistake.

Huaxi: "Shizun is in a hurry. ”

Lin Yan: "It's okay, just remember the truth that you don't want to do to others what you don't want to do to others." ”

Du Shi Niang: "What should Engong do tonight?" ”

These words gave Lin Yan, who was reasoning, a critical blow, what should I do...... What else can I do, I can only sleep in the wilderness.

On the way to the woods to find a good accommodation, Du Siniang cried and cried, like a faucet, and she didn't know when the tears would flow away.

Finally found a place in an open place in the woods where he could rest at night, Lin Yan saw that it was too late, so he went to the depths of the woods to find some dry firewood or dead branches to make a fire, after all, it was autumn, and the autumn night was still a little cool.

"I'll get some firewood."

"Master, I'll help you."

"No need."

Lin Yan rejected Huaxi's proposal, if he really left Du Shi Niang, a sensitive person, here, he really couldn't find where the ghost bride was.

Huaxi took out a pot of water from her pocket and drank it, Du Siniang next to her stared at the water in Huaxi's hand, swallowed her saliva, Huaxi also felt Du Siniang's gaze, stopped her movements, looked at her like this, she was about to become a bride again, Huaxi politely threw it to Du Siniang, Du Siniang drank a little anxiously, and was choked by the water. Huaxi couldn't hold back her laughter when she saw it.

Then Du Shi Niang's stomach gurgled a few times, her face immediately turned red, she was very shy, and she asked Huaxi embarrassedly.

Du Shi Niang: "Miss Hua...... There's something to eat......"

The words stammered.

Huaxi shook his head, because he didn't need to eat those things because he had already opened the valley, so naturally he didn't bring those things.

Du Siniang had no choice but to endure hunger and persevere.
