The old man was very talkative, and from his mouth, Lin Tianqi and Xu Dongsheng also knew the situation, today is the wedding day of Wang Youde's son, and the bride is a girl from the next village.

Wang Youde's son is called Wang Chengcai, he went out to wander a few years ago, the old man saw that Lin Tianqi and Xu Dongsheng were young and Wang Chengcai were about the same age, thinking that the two were friends of the same age when Wang Chengcai was wandering outside.

"The old man guessed well, my name is Lin Tianqi, this is my junior brother Xu Dongsheng, and Chengcai is a friend, I heard that Chengcai is getting married, so I came to congratulate him. ”

Lin Tianqi climbed down the pole and directly pretended to be a friend that Wang Chengcai met outside, at this time, the sun was setting, and it was dinner time, the old man was also going to Wang Youde's house for a wedding banquet, Lin Tianqi and Xu Dongsheng also happened to follow the old man to Wang Youde's house by the way.

Wang Youde's family lives in the back of Wangjia Village, an ordinary old farmhouse shingle house, hung with festive red lanterns, in front of the house is a large courtyard surrounded by a fence wall, the yard is full of banquets, the banquet is full of people, a table is about eight, gathered together, it is very lively, all are people who drink wine.

Lin Tianqi and the two brothers followed the old man here and separated directly, and found an inconspicuous place in the corner to sit down to avoid attracting attention, after all, the two brothers are now pretending to be friends of Wang Chengcai, and it is easy to see through if they are too conspicuous to be noticed.

"Senior brother, why are we pretending to be Wang Chengcai's friend. Xu Dongsheng whispered to Lin Tianqi, his face was a little unnatural, looked at the people around him, and whispered: "This is not good." ”

Lin Tianqi glanced at Xu Dongsheng angrily, and said, "Just listen to me." "My junior brother is too honest and stupid.

"Oh" Xu Dongsheng replied honestly, although he felt that it was not good to pretend to be someone else's friend like this, but he still chose to obey Lin Tianqi's words: "Senior brother, what should we do now, go directly to Miss Wang's parents and tell them about Miss Wang?"

Lin Tianqi couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth when he heard this, his junior brother is really stupid, now go to Wang Xiuqin's parents, today is the happy day of his son's wedding, you just ran up and told others that your daughter is dead, isn't this pouring cold water on people's heads.

Besides, now that the sun has just set, the sky is not yet dark, Wang Xiuqin can't get out, just because the two brothers have no evidence, how can people believe it, let alone believe it, it will be a good thing not to be beaten out of the door by a stick when the time comes, but maybe the matter is not explained clearly, and he will make a fuss.

This kind of thing is still waiting for less people, and then let Wang Xiuqin make it clear to her parents after she comes out, and Lin Tianqi faintly feels that Wang Xiuqin's parents should not attach too much importance to her daughter, otherwise Wang Xiuqin has only been missing for more than a month, and at this time, Wang Xiuqin's parents are not anxiously looking for someone, but preparing for their son's wedding.

If you don't value Wang Xiuqin's daughter, how can you do such a thing, the custom of preference for sons has existed in China since ancient times, even in the 21st century of his previous life, there are still many parents who maintain this kind of thinking, in this era of the Republic of China, it is not uncommon to prefer sons over daughters.

"Let's sit down and have a meal first, and when Miss Wang comes out in the evening, we will arrange for Miss Wang to meet her parents, and let Miss Wang talk to her parents herself." ”

Lin Tianqi said to Xu Dongsheng, his voice was very small, because there were many people present, beware of being heard by others, Xu Dongsheng also nodded.

"I don't know what Wang Xiuqin will think when she comes out to see this situation, knowing that today is the day of her brother's wedding, it is estimated that it will be very uncomfortable, she has been missing for more than a month, and her parents not only did not worry about looking for her all over the world, but still prepared for her brother's wedding with great fanfare. ”

keenly felt that Wang Xiuqin's parents didn't seem to take a fancy to Wang Xiuqin's daughter, and Lin Tianqi couldn't help but feel a trace of sympathy for Wang Xiuqin.

Patriarchy is indeed a nasty concept.

Time passed, and before I knew it, the sun had completely set on the mountain, and the two brothers sat down at a table of banquets in the corner and then found an inconspicuous place to sit down, but they didn't attract much attention.

The wedding banquet also slowly came to an end, and the last rays of the sunset on the western mountain began to slowly recede, and the sky slowly darkened.

At this time, on the road outside the entrance of Wangjia Village in the distance, the sound of gongs and drums, locks, and firecrackers sounded, and a long red team walked in from the path to the village gate.

"The bride is coming!" "Let's go, let's go see the bride." ""Go see....""...."

The people in the courtyard were excited all of a sudden, and many people walked out to the gate of the courtyard, and couldn't wait to see the bride, and after a while, the welcoming team came to the door and walked into the courtyard, and the bride was in the middle of the team, with a red cloth, and could not see her face, led by a father and daughter who looked to be in her forties.

"Where is the bridegroom, where is the bridegroom, come and pick up the bride. ”

The father and daughter holding the bride are like matchmakers, with bloated bodies and loud voices, and the sound has already sounded at the door before people enter the door.

"Quick, Chengcai, the bride is here, go pick up someone. ”

At this time, in the wooden house of the Wang family, a couple also walked out with a man wearing a groom's dress, with a big red flower on his chest, and a handsome appearance, which made people know at a glance that this was the groom Wang Youcai and the groom's parents Wang Youde and Tian Guihua, with a festive smile on their faces.

"What are you doing in a daze, go pick up the bride. ”

Wang Youde patted his son's shoulder, stepped back, with a happy and relaxed smile on his face, and Tian Guihua next to him was also smiling on his face, happy as if a flower had bloomed on his face, in the coaxing of the surrounding people, Wang Chengcai also stepped forward and walked towards the bride.

"Worship the church!" "One worship heaven and earth" "Two worship the high hall..."

The whole courtyard of the Wang family is lively, a little more lively than the previous meal, the bride and groom are pushed into the hall by the people around them, and begin to worship the hall, and the people at the door of the hall are gathered layer after layer, one by one tiptoe to see the joy inside, and the excitement is extraordinary.

Lin Tianqi and Xu Dongsheng were still sitting in the corner of the courtyard, quietly watching the lively scene in front of them, but they didn't join in the excitement.

"Senior brother, do you say that Miss Wang's parents are not worried about Miss Wang at all? ”

After a long pause, Xu Dongsheng suddenly spoke, looking at Lin Tianqi, with a bit of incomprehension in his eyes, he was really a little incomprehensible, put himself in his shoes, if he had a daughter in the future and disappeared, he felt that he would go crazy and search.

But looking at the appearance of Wang Xiuqin's family before, whether it was his parents or younger brother, they all seemed to be fine, but they were all immersed in the joy of Wang Chengcai's marriage, as if Wang Xiuqin's disappearance had nothing to do with them, Xu Dongsheng was a little incomprehensible.

Lin Tianqi didn't speak, one was that he didn't know how to answer this, and the other one, even if he picked him up, he didn't think it made any sense, this was someone's family matter, although he also sympathized with Wang Xiuqin and disgusted with the performance of the Wang family, but after all, it was someone's family matter.

The sky gradually darkened, and around Lin Tianqi and Xu Dongsheng, the temperature seemed to drop a lot all of a sudden, and both of them felt a chill, and then they saw Wang Xiuqin's ghost appear beside them.

"Miss Wang. Xu Dongsheng shouted.

"Brother Lin, Brother Xu. Wang Xiuqin also called the two of them with a smile, and then glanced around.

"It's home. After a cursory glance around, Wang Xiuqin immediately showed excitement at first, but then when she saw the lively and festive scene in front of her, she couldn't help but be stunned: "This is ?...."

Turning her head, Wang Xiuqin looked at Lin Tianqi, the festive picture in front of her was completely different from the picture of returning home she imagined.

"Today is the wedding day of your younger brother Wang Chengcai. ”

Lin Tianqi opened his mouth and looked at Wang Xiuqin.
