Other people's wedding gongs and drums were noisy and joyful, but Wen Ning just set off a string of 20 firecrackers at the door of her house, and there was no movement after a few crackles.

Not to mention the eight sedan chairs, at least the village marrying girls is not ushered in, and the best men and bridesmaids are indispensable to welcome and send off relatives.

But Wen Ning only had her rough "husband" who was about to marry to pick her up.

There is a custom in Furong Beach, a fishing village where I grew up, that the bride can't land on her feet before entering the house, and if she lives far away, let the groom and the best man carry the person back.

The groom, Leng Yingjie, lives on the farthest reef and is the farthest family in the village.

He didn't bring his best man, which was expected.

He is a strange man from outside, and he is still playing black boxing in the underground boxing arena, and everyone is too late to see him scared, where are any friends willing to be his best man.

And Wen Ning was forced to marry him by public opinion, and his reputation was not good, so naturally no one was willing to let her daughter be her bridesmaid.

Looking at Leng Yingjie, who was not even wearing a decent set of clothes in front of him, Wen Ning almost cried, and he was wearing a red skirt anyway.

The skirt that is not red or pink is the leftover from my cousin's daily wear, although it is old, it is better than Leng Yingjie wearing only a white vest.

His bronzed muscles stood out even more against the narrow vest of the fabric, and Wen Ning was embarrassed to look at him.

"The Fang family marries a girl," a naughty boy shouted by the window.

Then there was a burst of laughter.

Different from the joy of other people's marriage, Wen Ning only felt aggrieved and embarrassed in her heart at this moment.

"Go quickly, hurry up, don't delay the time, this kid's house is far away." Liu Yingzi urged Wen Ning, who was sitting on the bed.

Of course she wanted Wen Ning to marry quickly, it was originally her daughter Fang Qiao who was drunk and fell asleep outside Leng Yingjie's house until dawn and was seen.

Rumors spread in the village, and there were even rumors that her daughter had been violated by a man who lived on the reef, and she had to force her daughter to marry, otherwise no one would dare to ask for her in the future.

Where is Fang Qiao willing to marry, that black-fisted reckless man is scary to look at, and if he marries, his life will be ruined.

Liu Yingzi cried and begged Wen Ning to take down this matter and marry Fang Qiao, anyway, someone just saw that it was their daughter, but they didn't see that it must be Fang Qiao.

When Wen Ning was still young, her parents went out to sea and the fishing boat capsized, and the corpse was not found, if it wasn't for her aunt to adopt, Wen Ning would have starved to death, and now is the time for her to repay her kindness.

Wen Ning cried a lot, and reluctantly agreed under the soft grinding and hard soaking of Liu Yingzi's mother and daughter.

Because before discussing with her, my aunt had been running around outside to tell her that she was the one who drank too much that day, and if she didn't get married, I was afraid that she would have to endure a lifetime of fingering and loneliness.

Maybe I owe them in my last life.

has been married so shabby, and has to walk to the man's house by himself, Wen Ning is really unwilling, so he sits on the bed and refuses to move.

After the man entered the door, he looked at her silently for a while, as if he knew what she was thinking, walked over and turned around and squatted down, and only said, "Come up."

Wen Ning was stunned, this man has only appeared in Furong Beach for a few months, and he even knows the local customs?

After thinking about it, although the mute Sun who lived with him was also an outsider, he had lived in Furong Beach for decades, and he thought that he told Leng Yingjie to do this.

Fang Qiao couldn't wait to come up and pull Wen Ning, "Cousin, come on, don't let the groom wait", said to give Liu Yingzi a look on the side.

Liu Yingzi immediately realized and hurriedly stepped forward to pull her, and the mother and daughter dragged Wen Ning left and right, got up, and pressed her on the man's back.

Although I'm going to get married today, I'm still embarrassed to suddenly pounce on his back like this.

Leng Yingjie didn't react, hugged her leg and stood up easily.

"Let's go" He said lightly, as if talking to himself, no one looked at him, and went out of the room with Wen Ning behind his back.

There were a lot of people watching the excitement outside, and although they said congratulations, Wen Ning could see sympathy and ridicule in their eyes.

Wen Ning is only 22 years old, she has never left the fishing village, she is conservative, she doesn't want to get close to Leng Yingjie, so she has to keep a little distance from him with her hands, and put her head down on her chest, others seem to think she is shy.

Fang's family is the closest to the national highway bus station, and from here to the reef, almost all the houses in the fishing village have to walk around.

Then head east along the beach, passing a brewery and the only Hibiscus hostel, as well as an underground black boxing stadium.

Then climb all the way up the steep reef to Leng Yingjie and Dumb Sun's residence.

No one in the village has ever married a girl so far away, and the houses of the villagers are all gathered together.

The villagers behind did not follow, only a group of dirty bear children chased the two of them all the way, and they still chanted words loudly.

It's weird to be old black and old black

Wear a broken pocket

Hey, hey, he

Carry a little obedient on your back

Leng Yingjie carried Wen Ning on her back for a long time, and when she was about to approach the brewery, she looked up and saw the man standing at the door of the house next to her.

The man's eyes stared at her without blinking, Wen Ning suddenly became sad, and finally couldn't help but choke up and shouted to the chirping bear child beside him, "Don't scream, go home." ”

The children seemed to be laughing and shouting more vigorously just to see this moment.

She had to bury her head in Leng Yingjie's back and cry.

Leng Yingjie's body stiffened for a moment, and soon returned to nature, just glanced at those children coldly, and almost instantly, the surroundings were quiet.

Walking past the brewery to the beach, Wen Ning wiped a handful of tears from her face, sobbed and said, "No one, you let me down, I can go by myself." ”

She thought that Leng Yingjie hadn't heard, and it took a while for him to speak, his voice low, "No, the road over there is not easy to walk, I'll carry you." ”

Wen Ning is not surprised by his thoughtfulness, this rough man takes care of her when no one is in private.

Because a few months ago, it was she who saved the dying Leng Yingjie in the sea.

She was already adopted by her aunt's family, and it was impossible to bring such a person as Leng Yingjie from an unknown origin, so she had to entrust Leng Yingjie to the mute uncle who was also present that day.

Except for the three of them, no one else knew about it.

But even if Leng Yingjie treats her well because of her life-saving grace, she doesn't want to marry him, what are the two of them? How to live a life without emotion, how to live this life?

"Since it's not easy to walk, it's harder for you to carry me on your back, so I'd better go by myself." She struggled a little, still trying to distance the two of them.

Leng Yingjie stopped answering.

It was not easy to walk on the sand, so Leng Yingjie carried her deep and shallow feet until she walked under the reef.

On the other side of the sea is the place called White Bone Bay by the villagers, and legend has it that many people died there, all of whom were killed in the underground boxing arena and thrown in, and people often heard that it was haunted in the middle of the night.

Wen Ning was so scared that he didn't dare to look around, and shrunk back on Leng Yingjie's back.

There was only a steep path that was one person wide to the top of the reef, and Leng Yingjie climbed all the way up with Wen Ning on his back without changing his face and heartbeat, and finally came to the door of the dumb Sun family.

Dumb Sun is a bald and hunchbacked little old man who can't speak, and only knows his surname Sun, so he is called Dumb Sun by the villagers.

He kept looking at the door, and when he saw someone coming, he smiled and beckoned the two of them to hurry into the house.

Leng Yingjie gently put Wen Ning down, and then squatted down to help her pinch her numb legs.

Wen Ning was startled and subconsciously dodged, but quickly understood what he meant.

The two of them walked for a long time from Fang's house, and their legs and feet were numb when they were carried by him, but he didn't seem to have anything at all, and sure enough, the tendons and flesh were not white.

Wen Ning only knew that they lived here, but he had never been here.

She looked around curiously, a main room and a side room were their home, and although they lived in the middle of nowhere, they were very clean.

The mute Sun in the house had already cooked the meal, because she was reluctant to marry, Wen Ning hadn't eaten the night before, and now the smell of the rice was so fragrant that her stomach made a ridiculous rumbling sound.

The three of them ate in silence, and the mobile phone in Wen Ning's pocket rang.

She took it out and looked at it, a look of wanting to hide it flashed on her face, and she said to the old and young in front of her, "I'll answer the phone." ”

She went outside the house to pick up the phone, and as the person on the phone said, she went down the narrow path again.

There was a man waiting there under the reef, the same person he had just seen near the brewery.
