Chapter 244 Although there is no good night, there is a spring morning; hunt
After walking in, Zhou Changfeng bowed to Gao Ling, who was walking slowly, and said, "My son-in-law has seen Taishui. β
The latter's brows softened, and he replied with a smile: "It doesn't matter, Xiaoshi has just been cleaned up." β
It was time for the bride to leave home and board the bus, and several relatives had already begun to greet her.
In the west wing, Xia Xiaoshi finally painted her makeup and tidied up her hair, and when she heard that the team that came to greet her relatives had finally arrived, she only felt that her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
Again and again, knock knock, especially obvious. Excitement, longing, melancholy... All kinds of emotions are intertwined and linger in my heart.
Needless to say, the excitement and longing need not be said, as for the sudden feeling of loss that suddenly came to my heart, it was purely an inadaptability to abandon the old identity.
The furnishings and decorations in this room, the various books on the shelves, the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table, the zither in the corner, and the wind chimes hanging in front of the window......
Many objects are carriers of memory, and together they constitute the bits and pieces of the girl's cardamom years.
But now he has to be separated from him and marry, which means that he will become a member of the Zhou family from now on.
Her gaze on the bookshelf gradually became dazed, and she unconsciously wandered away.
It wasn't until someone pushed the door open outside that she came back to her senses.
Xia Xiaoshi, who was full of thoughts, checked the hairpin again and confirmed that the bun was fixed, and then carefully put on the delicate and fancy phoenix crown.
This thing weighs three pounds, which is almost equivalent to a steel helmet in terms of image, which can be said to be quite heavy for a girl.
When she walked out of the door, what caught her eye was Zhou Changfeng, who was talking happily with Xia's father and Xia's mother.
Seeing this, her heart calmed down in an instant - such a harmonious relationship will definitely be able to live in harmony in the future, and she will definitely be able to do whatever she wants when she wants to go back to her parents' home.
"Nervous?" Zhou Changfeng reached out and took her hand, stared at her eyes and quipped, "So serious? It's rare to see you look like that. β
"There's... Have it? β
The two slowed down their pace and crossed the threshold, one left and one right.
The door of the main wedding car has been opened, Xia Xiaoshi sat in first, and then Zhou Changfeng.
Then, Xia's father and Xia's mother and a group of relatives also got into the rest of the cars, and the convoy set off again, the sound of gongs and drums weakened, but the sound of suona was still loud.
The wedding car, which was delayed due to a breakdown, was removed from the team, and the happy event team that contracted this order knew that it was at a loss and apologized again and again.
In this way, the long convoy finally arrived at the Advisory Council on time.
Xie Wancheng and Yao Liangchuan, who were riding in the second off-road vehicle, handed over the permission to the garrison unit standing guard at the gate, and the second lieutenant of the 1st Praetorian Guard Division nodded and said solemnly: "The verification is correct, but only the wedding car can enter." β
This is certain, and it is impossible to put the officers and men of the 1st Marine Regiment in the Consultative Council.
So, everything went well.
The grandeur brought by the main hall of the Advisory Council on the top of the heavy eaves hall made many people can't help but hold their breath, holding a wedding here? It's unimaginable.
The attendants of the Advisory Council, who had been prepared for a long time, made contact with Zhou Changfeng for a while, and then led everyone to climb the thirty-nine white marble steps from the side.
Although I had never had such experience before, it was not impossible to learn from it, and the Advisory Council was very particular about decorating the auditorium to a very high standard.
Rows of red lanterns and red curtains hung on the top, and a wide red carpet was laid out in the open space in the middle, leading to the high platform in front of it.
Under the guidance of the waiters, the people attending the wedding entered and sat down one after another, and the person who was in charge of presiding over the wedding today was none other than Fang Shujun, the middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes and square glasses.
When the hour came, he blew the microphone gently, then stared at his watch, and said aloud:
"The wedding ceremony of the bride and groom is auspicious, and we sincerely invite you to come today, and the guests on both sides will enjoy the good of Luanfeng and Ming, and Qinse."
"Parents, divisions, relatives and friends are in place."
"Heaven and earth are proof, mandarin ducks are wings, and newcomers are invited to take the stage."
A series of auspicious words poured out of his mouth as if he didn't want money, and to be honest, Zhou Changfeng wondered how he could say these words so fluently.
Later, the so-called worship of heaven and earth and two worship of the husband and wife of the high hall is actually a little more complicated, and each of them has to worship three times separately, in fact, there are nine times in total.
Standing on the high platform, there were relatives and friends as far as the eye could see, but these dozens of people only occupied a small corner of the auditorium, and the huge auditorium of the Consultative Yuan seemed empty.
Zhou Changfeng glanced at Xia Xiaoshi beside him, who was obviously quite nervous, and the smile on his face was a little stiff.
The two faced ahead and bowed together, three times in succession.
"Worship heaven and earth together, one worship to give good fate, two worship happy marriage, and three worship to form one heart."
"Worship the high hall together, worship the knot of grace, worship the kindness of the family, and worship the spring glow of the third worship."
Then he turned to face and bowed three more times.
"Husband and wife worship each other, one bow to tie the knot, two worship forever, and three worship like guests."
"Reesungβ"
At this point, the long-prepared grand wedding came to an end.
Zhou Roujia, Xia Bing, and Gao Linglu also boarded the high platform and took a group photo with the two.
After the dazzling magnesium lights flickered, the beautiful scene of this moment was recorded on film forever.
Then came the sumptuous wedding feast, the waiters brought many tables and chairs, and as for the dishes, the chefs of the Advisory Council had already gone home for the Chinese New Year, so the meals were all ordered from the nearby restaurants.
Zhou Changfeng's original intention was to drink as little as possible, so as not to miss the business later.
Can... But everyone's enthusiasm was too high, and they finally parried this person, and the other person raised his glass again.
Fortunately, when I was half-drunk, I was not so hazy that normal conversation and action were still fine.
On the willow tops of the moon, the wedding banquet is over.
When Zhou Changfeng and Xia Xiaoshi returned to the red wedding room, the two of them, who had been tossing all day, felt that their bodies were about to fall apart.
Especially after bathing, the whole person relaxed, and he couldn't lift up his energy at all, and his mind to do the right thing dissipated because of physical and mental exhaustion.
In the corner of the room, the stove installed in the wooden cabinet emitted wisps of heat, making the whole wedding room warm.
Xia Xiaoshi, who had flushed cheeks, sat on the edge of the bed, while Zhou Changfeng lay on the soft big bed and complained: "I didn't fall asleep until midnight last night, and I got up before dawn this morning, and I was busy all day, and I was tired to death!" β
"That's... Sir, we ...... Why don't you take a break? β
"Okay, let's get some sleep."
As a result, this so-called "one moment" suddenly came to the next day.
Zhou Changfeng spent a dreamless night, obviously feeling that it didn't take long, but as soon as he closed his eyes and opened his eyes, he found that the sky was already twilight.
Then he was surprised to find that Xia Xiaoshi beside him had also woken up, and was staring at the ceiling with wide eyes at the moment in a daze.
"When did you wake up?"
"Hmm... Just a little while, a quarter of an hour. β
Zhou Changfeng, who was smiling and groaning, pinched the delicate little hand in the quilt, and then wandered away wantonly.
Xia Xiaoshi subconsciously curled up, but immediately realized that she should give up defense now, so she tried to stop her subconscious resistance.
After a while, the excited Zhou Changfeng came to her ear, "Let's go, wash up, and then ......"
Although there is no good night, there is a spring morning.
[The violating content has been deleted]
When the sun was three, the two of them packed up and went to breakfast.
The tiredness of yesterday faded away after a short sleep, and the early morning battle was refreshing.
Zhou Roujia and Li Shuye did not plan to stay for a long time, the latter had to go back to their hometown for the New Year, and tomorrow was Chinese New Year's Eve, so they had to catch today's train to Beizhili Jizhou.
For the two choices given by Zhou Changfeng before, after a few days of discussion, they finally made up their minds - when the opportunity comes, they must seize it, and they will only regret it if they miss the opportunity.
In fact, Zhou Changfeng felt that the two of them didn't have to worry so much at all, as if they were going to a dangerous place.
After all, it is also a large shareholder of a medium-sized company, why is it difficult to survive in peace? It is necessary to change the stereotype of Shanghai government.
After lunch, Zhou Changfeng drove them to Jiangbei Railway Station.
"Alright, you can go back quickly." Zhou Roujia waved her hand and told him: "Just got married, accompany others more." β
The latter had a look of "you can rest assured", "After the New Year, let alone be able to accompany you for half a month." β
To be honest, thanks to being young, strong and energetic now, otherwise I really can't stand fighting day and night for half a month.
At about the same time, thousands of miles away in Thuringia, in the foothills of the Thuringian Mountains southwest of the city of Gotha......
A black-haired Thuringian wolfhound deftly trampled through the snow, sniffed beside a bush, and then looked up warily.
"Belize, what do you smell?"
Dressed in a long gray tweed coat, Chrissy trudged through the snow with more than half of her boots.
Carrying a double-barreled shotgun and an old Kar98b carbine slung across her back, she stepped over to the bushes and looked around.
Although she is an atheist, Chrissy has been feeling like she has been cursed lately, and she has been particularly unlucky.
On that occasion in Spain, she thought she had justified the shooting of the IRA major on the spot, but later provoked a strong protest from the Spaniards, and she was also recalled by the General Directorate of Investigation and given an administrative penalty for criticism.
Although the Stasi internal discussion considered her actions to be excessive, she has always refused to admit her mistakes and insisted on her own opinions.
After that, Chrissy was wounded in a hunt for British agents, and was the only one wounded, which can be described as quite unlucky.
A .32ACP pistol bullet hit her in the abdomen, but fortunately, it was not a big deal, and the experienced doctor only removed 1.5cm of her small intestine, leaving a scar the size of a small finger.
The General Investigation Bureau generously gave her a three-month long vacation, which is why she can now hunt leisurely in the foothills.
"Whew!"
Suddenly, Belize let out a low roar, and Chrissy raised the 6Γ30 Zeiss telescope hanging on her chest very alertly, and was surprised to find a huge figure moving slowly in the woods a hundred meters away.
Is that... Grizzly bear?
It's rare to see a grizzly bear in action at this time.
Bears are known to hibernate, but occasionally they may wake up from hibernation and resume their activities and hunting if the temperature warms up.
In the past few days, I have only hunted two hares and one deer, and I am complaining about bad luck, but I didn't expect such a big guy to send it to the door.
Chrissy quickly withdrew the deer bullets that had been loaded with the double-barreled shotgun and replaced them with two single-headed bullets.
Then, she ripped off the strap of her shotgun and hung it in front of her, removing the Kar98b carbine from behind her back and pressing a bullet into it.
Chrissy slowly sat down on the snow, took off her leather gloves, and revealed her bloodless hand, resting her left arm on the knee of her left leg, and aiming her gun at the grizzly bear a hundred meters away.
To hunt such a large beast, you can use a rifle, so that you can shoot it from a safer distance; If you use a shotgun, you have to get close to a few tens of meters away, which is not only more dangerous, but also easy to startle snakes.
"Bang!"
The luck owed by a few months of bad luck seems to be condensed in this moment?
The 7.92mm S-shaped light tip bullet that flew out of the muzzle hit the black bear in the right eye and pierced through the back of the head.
The huge beast was not killed on the spot, but struggled to jump more than ten meters before falling to the ground.
Chrissy dropped the carbine after the shot and switched to a double-barreled shotgun to stay on guard, and if the grizzly was to fight back, it would be up to the two one-headed bullets to save her life.
Belize barked, but she remained unmoved, holding her gun on guard for a few minutes before cautiously walking over.
After confirming today's windfall, she couldn't help but stretch, then let out a long sigh of relief and waved her hand: "Let's go Belize, we can't get such a big guy away." β
Chrissy's father, a native of Gotha, worked as an assistant professor at the University of Erfurt, but died fighting against the British and French intervention forces; Her mother, a native of Gothenburg, Sweden, died of malnutrition due to food shortages.
As a result, Chrissy was left to live with her grandfather at a very young age. Today, the memory of her parents fades in her mind.
Under the soft sun, she rode a BMW R12 motorcycle all the way, and when she returned to her home in the town, she did not see her grandfather.
She thought for a moment, and walked to a house diagonally across the street, which was full of commotion, and she knocked lightly and pushed the door in.
The fireplace warmed the whole house, and sure enough, her grandfather was playing mahjong with a group of aunts and uncles.
Looking at it like this, it must have been another morning.
"You're playing this game again, is it really that fun?"
"Of course."
Very helpless, Chrissy said, "I knocked down a grizzly bear by the cedar forest at the foot of the mountain, so let's get everyone to go and transport it back." β
"Grizzly bears this season? It's rare. By the way, after you left in the morning, someone brought a letter asking you to open it yourself, so go and see it. β
Push the book, if you are interested, you can go and take a look-
