The noisy crowd had already arrived at the door after a while, and Chu Chu and Yun Tan jumped back to the edge of the bed and sat down, waiting for the show to begin.

The door lock was opened with a "click", and the first to enter was the old village chief with a melancholy face and unsubsided anger, escorted all the way by the jealous and hateful Shan Gao. The back foot came in Tian Erniu, Jinhua's sister-in-law and Shanyuan and several other villagers, Shanyuan was expressionless, Tian Erniu was full of anger and unwillingness, and the other people made a menacing look but were actually a little weak-hearted, and more than a dozen people squeezed a small room into seven, seven, eight, eight.

Everyone saw that Chu Chu and Yun Tan were tied up in such an intimate shape in wedding clothes, and the two of them jumped around the house several times, at this time, Yun Tan's sideburns were scattered and his cheeks were like peach blossoms, and the scene was fragrant and charming, and they all took a breath of cold air.

The old village chief glared at Tian Erniu fiercely, and Shan Gao's anger rushed straight to his head, and he shouted in the direction of Tian Erniu: "They are brothers and sisters! The two of them were tied up for too long, and once the rope was untied, it left deep strangulation marks on the rope. Yun Tan inhaled in pain, stretched her body a few times, and checked the strangulation marks on her wrists, these people are really tied with all their strength, I'm afraid that her hands will be useless for another moment or two. Shan Gao looked at the wound on her hand from the side, distressed and anxious, and wanted to go up to check but didn't dare, just like an ant on a hot pot on the side.

Chuxin took her hand and looked at it carefully for a while, and said to her softly: "It's okay, I didn't hurt my muscles and bones, just take it slowly." Yun Tan saw that he cared about her at the beginning, and he wanted to take out the squeamishness as a party, and wanted to hold his injured hand and squeeze out a few tears in front of him to sympathize. But she didn't, she remembered that there were still so many outsiders at the moment, and she had to ask about it first, so she put away her deflated mouth and made a serious appearance.

The old village chief seemed to be haggard a lot more overnight, and he was already in his twilight years, so he stepped forward to them apologetically and said, "Are you all right? I'm sorry for the two, my Guye Village has a history of hundreds of years, and nothing like this has ever happened. ”

Yun Tan was so angry that he pouted and shouted, "And we were almost killed by that black and hemp thing!"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked, and the village chief muttered to himself, "It's a black thing?

Tian Erniu said excitedly and proudly: "Look! I said it's feasible! You don't believe it!" Everyone nodded and cast an approving look at Tian Erniu.

Chuxin and Yuntan were confused when they heard this, but they saw the village chief take the lead in kneeling down to them, and said solemnly: "Ask Master Chuxin and Miss Yuntan to save my Gu Li's life!"

Yun Tan hurriedly went to help the village chief up, but the person who knelt in the room just repeated the request over and over again, but no one got up.

Chuxin hugged the village chief and said, "Please tell the village chief the ins and outs." Whether it can be saved, I will know after listening. ”

It seems that the original intention was to agree. Yun Tan shook his head, helplessly thinking that the original intention was still the original intention, originally said that he would not participate in the affairs here, but in the end he still couldn't resist the request of others, just like at that time he had to promise her to stay in the Tan Pavilion.

The group came to the outer room, during which the mountain was empty, and quietly walked to Yun Tan's side and asked her: "Miss Yun, do you hurt? Do you want to go to the medicine first? Don't worry, I will definitely avenge you and take care of these turtle grandchildren!"

Yun Tan smiled at him and said, "I'm fine, thank you for saving me and my brother today." ”

Shan Gao scratched his head embarrassedly and said repeatedly, "It's nothing, it's nothing. ”

After everyone sat down around the table, the old village chief spoke: "Tonight's events are a long story, and the old man doesn't know where to start. ”

Yun Tan said angrily: "Let's start with who drugged me and my brother! Hey, I said that you guys one by one, you seem to be honest and honest, I didn't expect to use such a bad method! ”

She wanted to say more, but was stopped by Chuxin and said to her: "Tan'er, don't be impatient, listen to them." ”

The village chief glanced at Chuxin gratefully, and then said, "Don't hide it from the two of you, this medicine is... It's old and decayed... ”

At this time, Tian Erniu, who was originally sitting in the corner, suddenly said: "Now the village chief doesn't have to cover it up for me, I gave the medicine, and I did everything!"

Yun Tan was not very happy when he heard that they were going back and forth, and said to the village chief: "Uncle the village chief, are you two going to sing a play? I wonder if you are sincerely asking for each other or a different play? Should my brother and sister just watch the play or should they seriously help?"

The village chief's face changed several times, and he was very embarrassed. Tian Erniu said angrily: "Sister Yuntan doesn't have to use words to pickle people, I, Tian Erniu, do things by myself!"

The village chief waved his hand to Tian Erniu and motioned for him to sit down, and then said to Chuxin and Yun Tan: "Alas, that's it, let's talk about it to the two of you now." ”

The village chief's mind seemed to have returned to the past, and he said leisurely: "Originally, our Guli Village was far away from the city-state, and lived a life of male farmers and female weavers for generations. Later, the fortunes of the country did not prosper, and disasters fell from the sky, and we Guli people also survived by their own diligence and wisdom. But since 10 years ago, a strange thing has happened every year in winter. ”

Yun Tan listened with relish, and asked, "What strange thing?"

"Ten years ago, on the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, a couple of newlyweds in the village got married, who knew that in the middle of the night, the bride was cut in the face, a face was bloody, miserable, and the blood that flowed down wet the wedding clothes on the body. Since then, every year on the 28th day of the lunar month, a woman has her face cut, and these women are all with their lovers or husbands, and most of them are wearing red clothes or wearing red colors. The strange thing is that none of the people who had the accident had ever seen what the murderer looked like, not even a shadow. We thought that someone had cursed our village, so we trekked through mountains and rivers to find many Xiangshi Taoist monks to come back and do the work, but it was ineffective, and we didn't even find out the reason. Therefore, the year before last, I decreed that on the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, no man or woman in the village was allowed to stay in one room, and from then on, no red things were allowed in the whole village. As a result, there was really no accident the year before last, until last year... When the village chief said this, his voice began to choke, and there seemed to be mist in his cloudy eyes.

The old village chief of Shan Yuanjian, who was sitting on the side, was emotional, so he continued: "I'll talk about the rest." I am the village chief's son-in-law Shanyuan, and I grew up with the village chief's daughter Tao Le. Last year, we were about to get married, thinking about the curse in the village, we deliberately set the wedding date in April last year, thinking that as long as it wasn't the 28th of the lunar month, we should be fine. On the day of marriage, I was so happy, so I drank a few more glasses in the evening, and when I returned to the room, I was not very awake, and I only remembered Tao Le sitting on the edge of the bed, with a red Xipa on his head. . . Thinking of the cheerful, enthusiastic and gentle Tao Le at that time, Shanyuan's eyes were covered with a layer of mist.
