When everyone heard this, they also followed Xie Yinxue and stared at the road.

Fengnian Village is a village that still retains a lot of ancient buildings, the roads here are paved with mud and navy blue pebbles, it will be muddy when it rains, although it has not rained in Fengnian Village recently, but it was foggy last night, probably because of this, the road surface is a little wet, and it doesn't look very clean. But other than that, it doesn't seem to be anything special.

Li Hong didn't see anything famous after looking at it for a long time, so he asked Xie Yinxue: "Mr. Xie, what's wrong with this road?"

"This way ......"

As a result, the person who spoke was Ying Yishui, she stepped forward and walked a few steps, then squatted down, picked up some brown lumps on the ground and put them in front of her eyes to look at them carefully, and said, "Why are you sprinkling medicine residue on the road?" ”

After that, Ying Yishui also sniffed these medicinal residues, frowned, and said: "There are incense, blood exhaustion, and notoginseng...... These are all herbs to stop bleeding and sores. ”

Xu Lu asked her in surprise, "Can you still smell what kind of medicine these are?" ”

Ying Yishui smiled a little shyly and said, "My father is a Chinese medicine practitioner, and I also studied Chinese medicine, so I recognize these medicinal materials." ”

Chao Qinghe said: "No wonder you drew the character and drew the medicine immortal. ”

But when the topic turned back to the medicinal materials, everyone guessed: These medicines will not be for Xue Sheng to drink, right?

You must know that at yesterday's village seat, Old Man Xue, the eldest young master and the eldest young lady of the Xue family all appeared, but Xue Sheng did not appear. And everyone in the Xue family who appeared saw that their mental state was very good, and they didn't look seriously injured at all and needed medicine to stop bleeding and relieve pain, so who these medicinal materials were used for, the answer was obvious - except for Xue Sheng, there was no one else.

Xie Yinxue even concluded: "Xue Sheng is seriously ill, and nine times out of ten, he will die." ”

He also took a few steps forward, squatted down on his knees, looked at the imperceptible medicinal herbs that were similar in color and almost blended with the mud on the stone road, and said, "Have you ever heard of 'dorsal scabies'?" ”

"Dorsal scabies?"

"What is this?"

Many people looked puzzled when they heard this word.

"It's also a folklore." Xie Yinxue explained to everyone, "In some places, people will pour the medicine residue left over from the medicine of the seriously ill at home on the road where people pass by, hoping that pedestrians walking on this road will step on the medicine residue and take away the sickness of the family." ”

"And this folklore?" Li Hong wondered, "It's useless, right?" If it really works, what else do you need a doctor to do? ”

"It may not be useful in the real world, but we're in Fengnian Village now, and we just saw the hell last night." Xie Yinxue got up and took a few steps back, "So stay away from these medicinal herbs." ”

"And this method is generally only used by poor families, because they can't afford to hire a doctor, so they can only pin their hopes on the ethereal gods and Buddhas, but the Xue family can't be short of money." Liu Buhua took Xie Yinxue's words and frowned, the Xue family is the richest family in the entire Fengnian Village, "If the Xue family has reached the point where it is necessary to use this folk custom to treat Xue Sheng's illness, then he may really ...... Not long lived. ”

Everyone was silent: they actually guessed a little bit more or less, because if it weren't for that, they really couldn't figure out why Old Man Xue, who had been ruthless for so long, would suddenly change his mind and agree to their marriage overnight.

They originally thought that the "saving marriage" referred to in this copy was that someone wanted to destroy the marriage, and they wanted to help the marriage be completed smoothly, so that it could be regarded as "saving the marriage", but judging from the current situation, it may not be such a simple matter.

Yu Qinwen even asked the key point: "Then Yang Ruolan...... Know about it? ”

“…… Don't know, right? Duan Ying hesitated, "The house slaves of the Xue family all stopped us from letting us in to see Xue Sheng, it seems that they all want to hide this news until Yang Ruolan enters the door." ”

Xu Chen began to contradict Duan Ying: "What if Yang Ruolan knows that Xue Sheng is sick and is going to die, but she is still willing to marry him?" ”

The author has something to say:

NPC: Why are you wearing white again?

Xie Lao: I play Bai Suzhen, you also start wearing green.

npc：？

Chapter 53

"There are indeed such infatuated girls." Duan Ying didn't refute Xu Chen, but said, "But now we have to wait for us to see her to see if she knows about Xue Sheng's serious illness and what her attitude is." ”

That's really the most important thing.

The theme of this copy - saving the marriage is now clear: it refers to the wedding of Yang Ruolan and Xue Sheng.

However, it is difficult to judge what constitutes "salvation".

The Xue family is now hiding Xue Sheng and not letting him see anyone, making it clear that Xue Sheng's current situation will not be too good, and it may even be worse.

In this case, if Yang Ruolan gets better from Xue Sheng's illness after marrying, it will be a good fate, and if Xue Sheng dies of illness, then Yang Ruolan will be widowed.

So there are two choices: on a practical level, the Xue family concealed it first, and they told Yang Ruolan the truth so that the marriage could not be completed, which can be regarded as "saving the marriage"; On the emotional level, if Yang Ruolan is infatuated with Xue Sheng and hopes that this marriage can be completed, then these participants, who stand by and watch and sing with peace of mind, and wait for the wedding to end, can be regarded as "saving the marriage".

In the end, what choice they want to make depends on Yang Ruolan's attitude.

So the group changed their route and rushed towards Yang's house again.

Who knew that they couldn't see Xue Sheng on the Xue family's side, and they couldn't see Yang Ruolan when they arrived at the gate of the Yang family-the Yang family's gate was closed, and no one answered the door even if they knocked their fingers red.

Li Hong wondered: "Is this no one at home?" ”

"No, there's someone in the house." Xie Yinxue said, "I heard the footsteps of someone walking inside." ”

Screaming, hearing this, the surprised eyes fell on Xie Yinxue.

Xie Yinxue stood under a ginkgo tree in front of Yang's house to hide from the sun and shade, facing everyone's gaze with a faint expression, she glanced at the wall made of loess in the Yang family, and proposed: "Why don't you climb up to the wall and take a look?" ”

The wall of the Yang family is not as high as the Xue family, and it is impossible for there to be house slaves guarding the house in the yard, so it should be feasible for them to climb over the wall to see what the situation is inside.

Lu Ling was more agile, he volunteered, jumped to the head of the Yang family wall after three steps in a row, and looked inside by the wall, but was beaten down with stones by the people in the yard in less than two minutes.

Fortunately, Li Hong and Liu Buhua caught him underneath, otherwise Lu Ling's ass was estimated to be blue.

It's just that the two of them helped Lu Ling to stand firmly, and the door of the Yang family, which couldn't be knocked on just now, was opened, and Yang Ruowen, the eldest brother of the Yang family, rushed out angrily with a broom, waiting for a few people around the wall to scold: "What are you people doing over the wall of my house?!" ”

"We are the people of the Golden Ingot Troupe." Lu Ling's head was just bruised and swollen by Yang Ruowen with a stone, he rubbed his head and said, "We wanted to meet Yang Ruolan, but we just knocked on your door and didn't knock, we just wanted to see if there was anyone in the house, there was no other malice." ”

"The troupe and my sister have never crossed paths, are you looking for her?" After listening to Lu Ling's words, Yang Ruowen's face was still not good, and he swept Lu Ling up and down with a vigilant gaze, and then said fiercely, "I see that you definitely don't have any good intentions, go far!" ”

After that, Yang Ruowen took the broom and turned back into the house, and slammed the door shut.

"What's going on?" Yu Qinwen couldn't understand, "Why didn't the Xue family let Xue Sheng see it, and the Yang family didn't let Yang Ruolan see it?" ”

Ying Yishui and Xu Lu also gathered around Lu Ling and asked him, "Did you see anything when you climbed the wall just now?" ”

"Yes, I saw Yang Ruolan."

Based on this alone, Lu Ling felt that his brain was still worth it.

He had just put up the wall at that time, and he saw three people waiting in the courtyard of the Yang family: two men and one woman, all three of them had some similar faces, and the clothes that the woman was wearing were exactly the same as the clothes they were wearing when they hurriedly glanced at Yang Ruolan's back on the village seat yesterday, so it was enough to prove that this woman was the Yang Ruolan they were looking for.

As for the two men who stayed in the courtyard with her, the older one was Yang Ruowen, and the other one who looked younger was not difficult to guess, it should be Yang Ruoming, the youngest son of the Yang family.

The two of them sandwiched Yang Ruolan in the middle, frowning and angry, but Yang Ruolan's eyes were red and her face was full of tears.

"Not allowed...... Absolutely not......"

"You think about your family......"

Because the position of climbing the wall was not quite right, he was far away from the three of them, and vaguely Lu Ling only heard a few words in their conversation, and it was completely unclear what he was talking about, and when he wanted to listen carefully, he was found by Yang Ruowen and knocked down with a stone.

"That's all I see."

Lu Ling told everything he saw and heard truthfully.

Li Luming also said: "When the door opened just now, I also saw Yang Ruolan. She stood in the courtyard and looked outside, as if she wanted to come out, but her younger brother Yang Ruoming kept holding her arm, so she couldn't get out. ”

The Xue family hid Xue Sheng and didn't let him see anyone, probably because Xue Sheng was seriously ill, and they wanted Yang Ruolan to marry in to fulfill Xue Sheng's last wish or give him joy, which was understandable.

But on the Yang family's side, Yang Ruolan can move in the courtyard, and she also went to the village seat yesterday, so it can be seen that she has no physical problems, so what will be the reason why the Yang family still wants to detain Yang Ruolan and not let her go out of the house to meet people?

Not to mention that Yang Ruolan still had red eyes, looked like she had cried, and the words that Lu Ling heard the two brothers of the Yang family say to Yang Ruolan on the wall.

"Based on my years of experience playing script killing, I now have a bold guess." Liao Xinyang swallowed his saliva and whispered, "Xue Sheng may be dead." ”

"Possibly." Ying Yishui nodded, "Most of the medicinal herbs that the Xue family poured on the road have dried up, and they obviously didn't pour them in the past two days. ”

"That's right, Old Man Xue agreed to the marriage of Yang Ruolan and Xue Sheng not because of any soft-heartedness, but because Xue Sheng died, and he wanted to hold a secret marriage for Xue Sheng!" Liao Xinyang continued, "Yang Ruolan's eyes are red from crying, and she has always wanted to go out, obviously she doesn't want to be the bride of this secret marriage. ”

"This village is not without precedents for underworld marriages."

The red-clothed water ghost Gao Wan they saw last night should be the victim of the underworld marriage.

The old man they asked this morning had already hinted at this matter very clearly: Gao He was angry with his parents, and he couldn't make money for nothing, so naturally he couldn't marry a daughter-in-law, so he sold his sister Gao Wan.

Sold to a family as a bride.

But Gao Wan would rather die than give in, and threw herself directly into the river - her body should not have been salvaged, because the ghost marriage needs a corpse rather than a living person, if the family gets Gao Wan's body, then Gao He can get money to beg for a daughter-in-law, instead of being like now, as the old man said "fighting the street".

"Yes, Yang Ruolan also has an older brother and younger brother, and neither of them seems to be married." After mentioning this, Yu Qinwen remembered Yang Ruolan's brother, "Maybe the Xue family gave the two of them money to agree to let Yang Ruolan and Xue Sheng get married, but Yang Ruolan was unwilling, so they detained Yang Ruolan and didn't let her come out, and they were afraid that we would help Yang Ruolan escape, so they didn't let us see her." ”

Among the girls present, Duan Ying, who had a partner and was already talking about marriage, could empathize more with this, and she murmured: "If it is a normal marriage, how can anyone cry so sadly before marriage?" ”

Li Luming couldn't make up her mind and asked the others: "Then we 'save the marriage', do we want to make the marriage work out, or let the marriage work out?" ”

"It's definitely not going to work." Duan Ying didn't think about it and said, "Is it really worth the dregs of the secret marriage?" ”

Lu Ling frowned, and finally concluded: "Then we are going to ruin the wedding." ”

Liu Buhua also felt that it made sense after listening to these people's analysis, but he didn't say anything in agreement, just looked at Xie Yinxue, wanting to know Xie Yinxue's opinion.

However, Xie Yinxue was still standing in the shade of the tree and talking to the audience with a calm expression, and did not mean to interject a word to express her opinion.

Another old participant, Bu Jiuzhao, was standing beside Xie Yinxue-

Xie Yinxue wore white, but stood in the shadows.

Bujiu shines through the black, but bathes in the sun.

The two stood in the light and in the dark, as if they were separated.

Liu Buhua looked at him and scratched his head, he couldn't remember when this person had passed, and Bu Jiuzhao was very strange - he didn't stand in the shade of the tree, but in the sunlight next to the shade, he didn't hide from the sun, so what did he do standing next to the tree?

It can't be for his godfather Xie Yinxue, right?

"Godfather, what are you doing here?" Liu Buhua couldn't figure it out, so he walked in the direction of Xie Yinxue and hid from the sun with him.

Xie Yinxue played with the pear blossom bracelet on her wrist and said softly: "I was thinking that the stage has been set up, when can we start singing and rehearsing tonight." ”

"So that's why you started wearing white before you even went on stage?"

Xie Yinxue and Liu Buhua were chatting under the tree, and Bu Jiuzhao suddenly came to mix in with such a sentence.

The two of them raised their eyes and looked at Bu Jiu in unison.

Seeing the tacit understanding of the two of them, the man said in a cold voice with an expressionless face: "You have been wearing white clothes for two days, it seems that your father-in-law Xu Xian has died, and you are wearing linen and filial piety for him." ”

That's right, although Xie Yinxue still changes his clothes every day, he wears white for the past two days, which is quite suitable for his identity in the play - Bai Suzhen.

As a result, this color seems to be very unpopular with men.

So much so that Xie Yinxue wore white clothes for two days to be ridiculed by him like this, and the innocent Liu Buhua, who was going to play Xu Xian, was also scolded.
