The morning sun is rising, and the light is shining.

The pale golden sunlight shone through the cracks in the branches and leaves, on the grass that flourished in the brown earth, on the red bricks and green tiles or the brightly colored eaves of the pavilions, and the two scholars looked at the scene in amazement, and from time to time they made a fuss.

"Oh, little friend, look there!"

"Old man, this is not much different from that Qingzhou County. ”

"That's true, except for a little smaller..."

......

The two scholars were in high spirits, walking and talking. In front of me, on a long street paved with bricks and stones, there are many pavilions on both sides, and there are actually heavy buildings and flying pavilions.

The two walked among them, not far away faintly heard the penetrating shouts of the vendors, occasionally mixed with a long neighing of horses, there are also village children playing and frolicking, old women and old women come and go slowly together, it is a beautiful scenery in the countryside.

Under the heavy buildings on both sides of the street, there are tea shops, wine shops, butcher shops, shops and so on. Among the shops, there are silk satins, jewelry and spices, and a variety of sweets and snacks. The butcher shop buys and sells some cattle, sheep, pigs, donkeys, chickens, ducks, fish and poultry, cooked food and snacks. On the long bluestone road, there are villagers leading horses, hawkers, old women with baskets, village children playing and frolicking, and even, tourists from other places who ask for directions.

The two scholars walked into an inn at the end of the long road, and judging from the flags hanging at the door, it seemed that they could also stay in a hotel or eat.

"The two guest officers..."The shopkeeper walked forward with a smile on his face, "Is it to stay in the hotel or to eat?"

"Eat and drink first, and then stay in the hotel. The bitter gourd Facebook student waved his sleeves and replied.

"Two guest officers, do you want to wash up first?"

"That's very good. ”

"Guest officer, watch your step!" The shopkeeper reminded while pointing to the back hall of the inn: "Guest officer, please here..."

Tao Hui couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the shopkeeper in Qingzhou County was extremely snobbish, and if his clothes were a little shabby, it was easy to attract white eyes. However, the shopkeeper in this Yangcun inn is completely different, even if the two are in rags, they are also thoughtful and warmly welcome.

The two followed the shopkeeper into the back hall to wash, opened two guest rooms, changed into brand new clothes, and were just about to sit down to eat, at this moment, a sound of gongs and drums came from the door of the hotel...

The two scholars stood up and followed the prestige.

But see the restaurant not far away, a courtyard mansion outside the powder wall protection, green willows hang around, at this moment the courtyard door is wide open, you can see the courtyard in the Yong Road linked, the mountains and stones are embellished, the courtyard gate hangs the plaque of "Qingzhou Shi Clan". Two stone lions, one on the left and one on the right, are placed on both sides, one male and one female, the male lion has a hydrangea under his feet, and the female lion snuggles up to a lion cub, all of which show the grandeur of this country estate.

A group of people were busy putting up lanterns in front of the courtyard gate, and some people were beating gongs and drums, and in front of the mansion was a soft carpet made of wild animal skins, and red lanterns were hung high, and some unknown red petals were scattered around it.

The shopkeeper seemed to see the doubts of the two scholars, and said with a smile.

"Two guest officers, this is the village chief's family to welcome you. ”

"I see. ”

Liu Xingrong suddenly realized, and habitually stroked his beard, but found that under the human skin mask, his beard was hidden. In the land of Qingzhou, every time you get married, big families obey the six rites. It includes six stages: collection, asking for names, knotting auspiciousness, accepting signs, inviting appointments and welcoming in person.

Now we have reached the final stage.

"Oh, marry the bride..."

"Eat the sugar, eat the candy!"

Seeing the bustle, several naughty boys ran to the door of the courtyard and shouted.

The middle-aged man in brocade clothes looked anxiously walking back and forth in front of the vermilion gate, and looked left and right anxiously.

"It's already dawn, why hasn't the bride been there yet, isn't there something wrong with Sun Laosan?"

Suddenly, the middle-aged man looking around had a stagnant face, but he was only as bright as a chrysanthemum in an instant, "Hurry, hurry up and welcome the bride!"

"Okay!" A few young people on the side who were helping responded in unison.

Some people ran to the courtyard to report in a hurry, some people lit the firecrackers piled up on the ground in a panic, and some panted and lifted out a beautiful saddle pedal and placed it on the edge of the courtyard gate.

From a long road at the entrance of the village, there was a rush of horses' hooves, a group of people in front of the gong and drum suona, a black horse followed by a few carriages, slowly coming from a distance, not long enough to start the carriage, slowly stopped in front of the red carpet.

The luxuriously decorated carriage passed in front of the inn, and the eyes of the scar-faced scholar who watched the excitement suddenly froze.

"Huh?"

"What's wrong with Xiaoyou?"

The bitter melon Facebook student asked with some confusion, but the scarface scholar didn't say anything more.

The middle-aged man in brocade clothes trotted all the way over and grabbed the reins of the slender young man, with a look of joy on his face: "Third child, this journey has been hard!"

In the wedding sedan chair, the bride maid gently helped the bride with vain steps, and the bride wrapped in a red wedding dress stepped lightly on the saddle and slowly walked off the wedding sedan chair. All the young ladies looked at the bride in the scarf with envy. The red cloth hijab covered the vision, and the maid helped the bride to walk carefully into the courtyard. The crowd on the side rushed in, and the gate suddenly closed as if it were a thief.

"Old man, why did they suddenly close the door?"

At the door of the inn in the distance, the scar-faced scholar seemed to be a little confused.

"I guess I'm in the cave room, right?" replied the bitter gourd Facebook student.

"Into the cave room?!"

The peach coat emblem is full of suspicions, entering the cave room should not be a beautiful day, the spring night is too much, too much at night? And this marriage event is due to the fanfare banquet of the village aunt, the village end of the uncle, full of friends, pushing the cup and changing the lamp to do beautiful? But this village marriage, but like guarding against something...

"Old man, this wedding should be a happy event, but how can I hear that bride seems to be crying?"

The bitter gourd Facebook student was stunned when he heard this.

"Xu is married far away, and misses his hometown in his heart?"

"But why is this cry so sad?"

"Huh?"

Scarface bought some malt caramel from a nearby shop, and suddenly stopped the naughty boy on the street who had grabbed some candy after watching the excitement.

"Little brother, do you want to eat candy?"

When the scar-faced scholar asked, the surrounding villagers all showed nervous looks, and there were too many strange visitors staring at this Yang Village.

"I want to..."The younger naughty boy's face was full of joy, and he was about to reach out to take it, but was pushed aside by the older child, "I don't want to, I eat this candy every day, and I see it too much." ”

...........

In the welcoming hall, a septuagenarian sat on a chair expressionlessly, his eyes slightly closed, not knowing what he was waiting for. At this moment, a strong man suddenly walked in.

"The village chief, the marrying man is here. ”

The septuagenarian opened his eyes and said lightly.

"Feng Cheng, you go and tell them, first send the bride to the wedding room to rest, let those maids serve well, and then tell the back kitchen, these days big fish and meat, suddenly change the tricks, and send it to the bride. ”

The strong man was a little puzzled, "Ah?!, didn't you send it over tonight?"

The septuagenarian slowly closed his eyes unmoved: "Yesterday, the fairy envoy sent a message and said that he would send the bride in two days." ”

The old village chief was bitter in his heart, and the world was chaotic today, and the demons were dancing wildly. The emperor of the previous dynasty was mediocre and tyrannical, and he was heavy in taxes and miscellaneous taxes. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, although he has made great efforts, he has also been in ruins. And this Yang Village is located in a poor and remote area, with rugged mountain roads and deep woods, and the people are poor.

But now it's a whole new look. It can also be regarded as a glorious ancestor, and thanks to the blessing of the ancestors, he occasionally won the favor of the immortals. This immortal family not only has more help every three or five times on weekdays, but also sends some immortal envoys from time to time to send some gold and silver. Moreover, the immortal envoy swept away the bandits around the falling grass.

Every time the sun sets, the flat ground will rise with fog for no reason, this mist envelops a village, as if the immortals have cast a supreme immortal method, in order to protect the people in the village to live and work in peace and contentment...

And such a strange scene also attracts a lot of tourists in the village.

..............

It's night.

A light like a bean.

Knock knock knock....

There was a slight knock on the door of the inn, Liu Xingrong was stunned for a moment, and said in a low voice.

"Who?"

"Old man, it's me!"

Hearing the familiar voice, the old man's tense body suddenly relaxed, and the look of vigilance on his face faded.

"It's a little friend, please come in. ”

The door opened, and I saw Scarface's scholar standing in the door in a trance.

"Little friend, what is this?"

Seeing the old man open the door, Scarface lightly touched into the room and closed the door.

"Don't you think this place is a little weird, old man?"

The bitter gourd Facebook student suddenly realized and muttered to himself, "It's indeed a little strange, there is a way: there must be a demon when things go wrong, a few years ago I had a chance to pass by this Yang Village, which is located in the middle of nowhere, and it is extremely poor, and now..."

"It's better to..."
