Chapter 13: Not Marrying
I don't know how to describe that feeling.
In short, despair.
It's just painful.
It wasn't until I suddenly felt as if someone had picked me up from the ground and walked for a distance that the feeling of losing my hands and feet slowly disappeared and my vision gradually recovered.
The voice of the old smoker also came to my ears.
"Got it?"
I sat on the floor, silent for a long time, unable to speak.
The old smoker was not in a hurry, just sat next to me and smoked quietly.
It wasn't until a wild dog ran up to me that I came back to my senses and looked at the old smoker and asked, "Can you tell me about Niang'er Village?" ”
"I want to know."
The old smoker gave me a look.
"It's not a good thing to know too much."
"I want to know." I re-emphasized it, and then I said, "I don't want to be a fool, and I don't want to slowly become a madman." ”
The old smoker thought for a moment, then snuffed out the cigarette stick, and then said, "If you want to know, marry that girl." ”
"Why do you have to marry her?" I don't understand.
"Lord Chenghuang has noticed you, and if there is no accident, he will soon take your life." The old smoker said earnestly: "The only one who can save you is that girl." ”
"If you don't marry that girl, there's no point in knowing more."
"Why does it have to be her?" I don't understand it anymore.
The old smoker glanced at me helplessly before he said, "She is the woman that Lord Chenghuang fancies, and she is also the woman that the old madman once dedicated to Lord Chenghuang." ”
"Married her."
"With her blessing, you can at least live a few more days."
I was stunned for a moment, and the whole person suddenly felt a little bad.
Since she is the woman that Lord Chenghuang fancies, and I am the person chosen by Lord Chenghuang to guard the village, then I rob a woman with Lord Chenghuang, isn't that even more death-seeking?
I couldn't help but look at the old smoker and wondered, "Is there no other way?" ”
"Robbing a woman with Lord Chenghuang, doesn't this mean that I don't die fast enough?"
By this time I had already believed eight or nine points what the old smoker said.
I don't have too many doubts about the identity of my village guard.
Although I still remember the words of that young lady, I can't go out of Niang'er Village, even if I want to, I can't go, and I don't want to try a second time because of the feeling of losing all consciousness.
At this time, the old smoker also shook his head.
"There's no other way."
"Time is running out."
"Although there is a lot of risk in robbing a woman with the City God, once you succeed, the City God will not personally do anything to you in a short time because of the loss of face, as long as the City God does not personally target you, then your hope of survival is much greater."
"When you become a real village keeper and become the fairy queen of the town spirit land who guards this Niang'er village, even the city god will no longer hurt you at will."
"What about failure?" I asked again.
The old smoker looked at the direction of Yanniang'er Village, thought for a while and then smiled and said: "There is no more lonely tomb in Niang'er Village, and it doesn't take up space, my old man ......"
"I can get out of this place sooner."
"It's dead both horizontally and vertically." I sighed, a little desperate.
Can't leave Niang'er Village, the facts in front of me are just the difference between early death and late death according to what the old smoker said, and I have no other way in this case.
All I could do seemed to be the only one left listening to the old smoker.
"So what should I do?" I looked at the old smoker.
The old smoker pointed to the big horse not far away.
"Ride it."
"Pick up the bride!"
I smiled a little helplessly, and finally chose to walk over, at this moment I suddenly missed the past eighteen years, although I was alone, but at least I didn't need to think about it so much.
And now.
I thought about it too much, but I didn't even have the power to choose.
Or maybe it's because I'm afraid of death.
The word death sounds easy, but when it comes to the head, not everyone has the courage to face it calmly, at least I don't, if there is, I don't think I will choose to listen to the old smoker even if I can't leave the village.
Soon I was walking to the big horse.
As if human, the horse knelt on the ground as soon as I walked up to it, and it was not until I sat up that it straightened up again.
At the same time, eight 'people' behind him lifted the sedan chair.
The man behind him who was carrying the burden also followed at the same time.
Not only that, but there was also a singing voice, which was full of festive feelings.
Then the old smoker also came over, he led the horse in one hand and smoked a cigarette in the other, and just like that, he led me and those 'people' towards Niang'er Village.
What I didn't expect was that just a few steps away, but I saw a brand-new, strange and slightly familiar Niang'er Village.
What is strange is that Niang'er Village suddenly changed from a dry village, at a glance, it was full of people, full of beautiful women, laughing and playing, beautiful and incomprehensible.
Familiar.
This seems to be the Niang'er Village that Liu Ming and Zhuang Yue are talking about.
There are girls everywhere.
It also seems to be the Niang'er Village I once saw in my dreams.
Everywhere is the charm.
I was a little stunned for a moment, and I didn't come back to my senses for a long time, until the old smoker seemed to notice my state and raised his hand and patted the horse under me, and I was awakened by the sound of the horse.
At the first time, I asked the old smoker, "Is this the real Niang'er Village?" ”
The old smoker gave me a look.
I added, "I saw a lot of people, and they were all women. ”
"What else?" Only then did the old smoker speak.
I looked around, thought for a moment, and said, "But they don't seem to see me." ”
The old smoker was silent for a moment before he said, "Then you should have seen nothing." ”
"The current ...... of Niang'er Village"
"Not really."
At the same time, his eyes swept around, and there seemed to be a touch of complexity in his eyes.
I was stunned for a moment, and I was even more confused.
Isn't this a real Niang'er Village either?
What does the real Niang'er Village look like?
Without waiting for me to ask any more, we had stopped in front of a room, and I recognized at a glance that the room in front of me was where the young lady in my dream lived.
The old smoker had already walked to the house, knocked lightly on the door three times, and then shouted loudly: "Li Xuantian, the young master of the Li family, come to greet you!" ”
But there was no movement in the house.
It's as if there's no one inside.
Seeing this, the old smoker knocked on the door three times again, and then shouted repeatedly: "Li Xuantian, the young master of the Li family, come to greet you." ”
This time the room finally moved, and the door opened a crack, and a piece of red paper slipped out of the crack, on which a coffin was drawn.
I don't know what it means, but I can only tell that this should also be a city god sticker, but the old smoker smiled and picked up the red paper, and knocked three times again after the door was closed.
Then he continued to shout: "Li Xuantian, the young master of the Li family, come to greet you!" ”
Looking at the old smoker's unrelenting appearance, I couldn't help but blush a little, and at the same time felt a little lost in my heart.
Three times in a row, the gates were closed.
No matter how you look at it, you don't want to marry me.
Sure enough.
As the third shout of the old smoker fell, a voice finally came from the room, the voice was very soft, but with a little anger, and it was only two simple words.
"Don't marry!"
