The maid is made of paper, wearing red and green paper clothes, with a strange smile on her face.
There were two red puffs on her cheeks.
The stone lion at the door is a living monster. It is sitting with some kind of jade bead in its mouth, which is clearly the head of a dead person.
The hanging lantern is not a lantern either.
Instead, it was a human head with its mouth open and its big yellow teeth, shouting: "Wedding, great joy."
The sound is noisy and annoying.
And the wall-covered courtyard was filled with a dark flock of large crows.
He didn't say anything, just stared at the people who were about to enter the door with his red eyes.
It was as if the procession of sending off the bride was a feast of gluttony.
Liu Hou took a breath when he saw it.
Immediately afterwards, my father-in-law and mother-in-law also walked out of the house. Their movements were stiff and they seemed to have difficulty walking.
Can't straighten my knees.
His hands are also wrapped in long sleeves.
The head of the Si family and his wife chatted with Lu Zhihan for a while and invited everyone to come into the courtyard to have a rest.
They said they had prepared fine wine and delicious food.
Everyone looked at this wealthy mansion with eager eyes, and their stomachs were growling with hunger.
Quickly led by a group of paper maids, they poured into the door of the house.
The red painted door closed with a bang after Liu Hou walked in.
Liu Hou turned his head and glanced at the door, and smiled coldly.
He wanted to take a closer look at what the Si family wanted to do.
The pavilions and pavilions in the courtyard are so beautiful.
It was also hung with red lanterns and was full of joy.
The paper maid arranged the people who were seeing off the bride, and the table was indeed filled with delicacies and preserved fruits.
Steaming hot.
Not to mention that these mud-legged people in Sangou Village have been hungry for months. Even in good weather years, they have never seen so many delicacies from the mountains and seas.
As soon as the host told me, he couldn't wait to eat.
Lu Zhi'er was about to follow Lu Zhi into the ancestral house when she suddenly saw Liu Hou just sitting without moving his chopsticks.
Then he asked in a low voice: "Little Taoist priest, why don't you eat?"
"No appetite."
Liu Hou said calmly.
These foods are not fake, but he really doesn't dare to eat them.
"Eat a little, look at how thin you are."
Lu Zhi'er wanted to say something, but her father suddenly called her. She sighed: "I'm going to try on the wedding dress. I'll let you see later if I look good in the wedding dress."
This girl was still so outspoken and didn't feel there was anything inappropriate about what she said.
When she gets married, if she doesn’t show the wedding dress to the groom, what does it mean to show it to herself?
"Go ahead."
Liu Hou waved his hand.
Not long after, Lu Zhi himself came out of his ancestral house with a happy face.
Liu Hou bowed his hand to him and said, "Village Chief, seeing your happy face, it seems that you are very satisfied with this marriage."
Lu Zhi said with a smile: "I feel relieved. I thought that my daughter would marry some crooked and disabled uncle. I didn't expect that my uncle is handsome, talented and a learned man. I will definitely treat my daughter well in the future!"
"That's good."
Liu Hou narrowed his eyes and asked, "I don't know when the wedding will be held."
Lu Zhi was stunned, and suddenly a trace of weirdness appeared on his face: "I'm talking about tonight. The Ou family is in a hurry. They want to go to the church to get married at Haishi."
"Hai Shi?"
Liu Hou said jokingly: "How can anyone visit the church at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night? This is treating a red matter as a white matter!"
Lu Zhi's expression changed, and he finally sighed: "I also think it's a little strange, but my in-laws said that after consulting a Feng Shui master, it would be best for them to get married at night."
After saying that, he handed over his hands and went to entertain other relatives and friends.
Liu Hou touched his chin, his eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
He looked around and saw that everyone was drinking and drinking, feeling very unhappy.
So he secretly used the excuse of going to the toilet and slipped out.
Keep sneaking into the depths of the yard.
The further you go in, the stronger the evil spirit becomes.
The backyard was originally a large garden.
But it has become deserted, with only broken eaves and broken walls remaining.
The lotus flowers all over the pond have long since withered, and the smell of mud mixed with evil spirits rushes into the nose, which is very heady.
It doesn't look like a place at all from the bustling scene in the front yard.
It's really weird.
Liu Hou followed the evil spirit and kept walking forward.
Finally, we stopped in front of a rotten tile house.
He frowned.
The evil spirit suddenly disappeared.
It disappeared completely, as if it had never appeared.
Like an illusion.
"Hey, what are you doing here!"
Suddenly a voice sounded from behind.
Liu Hou was shocked.
Turning around, I felt that the voice was very familiar.
Sure enough, I saw a familiar figure.
It was Lu Zhi'er who slipped out after him.
Lu Zhi'er was wearing a red wedding dress, her body was plump, her eyes were watery, and they were as bright as the bright moon.
Looking at him with interest in the grass.
"No, I'm bored and wandering around for a while."
Liu Hou patted the weeds on his body.
"Oh, I'll take what you said as true."
Lu Zhi'er didn't ask any more questions, but said enthusiastically: "Do you think my clothes look good? I'll come find you as soon as I put them on."
"nice."
Liu Hou answered perfunctorily.
"Hehe, I think it looks good too."
Lu Zhi'er smiled, but there was no smile on her face. She raised her head and glanced at the sky.
The bright moon hangs high, and its golden light shines on this abandoned garden.
Even more desolate.
Neither of them spoke, standing quietly by the withered lotus pond.
"Little Taoist priest, little Taoist priest, do you want to see me dance my sword?"
Lu Zhi'er suddenly said: "My mother taught me how to dance. She dances very well. Tonight, I will only dance for you!"
Before Liu Hou could answer, she pulled out the mahogany sword that Liu Hou was carrying and said, "I'll lend you your sword."
The girl in the red wedding dress dances.
The sword made a clanking sound in her hand, and the red wedding dress rose and fell in the moonlight.
The red hairpin reflects the moonlight, and as she dances, the sword sometimes moves faster and sometimes slower.
Dazzling.
Lu Zhi'er's sword dance is so beautiful that people can't take their eyes away.
Her mother must not have an ordinary family background, and this dance may only be seen by today's dignitaries.
Liu Hou's eyes were filled with joy.
Lu Zhi'er was still dancing, and the girl who was always smiling had silver light flying from her cheeks.
I don't know if she is crying or laughing.
Tears danced, reflecting the moonlight.
She transformed into a beautiful elf, fluttering under the moonlight.
When the dance stopped, Lu Zhi'er had already become a tearful person.
The delicate makeup on the face was wet with tears and messed up...
it took……
It's turbid...
"Little Taoist, return the sword to you."
Lu Zhi'er put the sword in her palm and handed it to Liu Hou.
The moment Liu Hou took it, the girl hugged him completely.
The thin but warm body pressed tightly against Liu Hou's heart.
Liu Hou remained motionless.
The girl's little head rested on his shoulder, and her shoulders twitched slightly.
She is crying.
Tears wet his clothes.
"Little Taoist priest, I want to get married."
Lu Zhi'er has always been strong and smiling in front of her parents and fellow villagers.
But the anxiety, fear and cowardice in my heart only came out now.
She cried enough and raised her head.
The red lips touched Liu Hou's face gently.
Just for a moment.
After a brief taste, it stops, and when touched, it is removed.
The girl took several steps back, her eyes were slightly red, but her tears had dried up.
"Little Taoist priest, little Taoist priest, I'm getting married."
Lu Zhi'er arranged her red wedding dress and left the lotus pond without looking back.
She didn't dare to look back.
Dressed in red and accompanied by the moonlight, she has a graceful figure.
Finally disappeared from Liu Hou's eyes.
Liu Hou held the sword tightly.
Just sit by this abandoned lotus pond for a long, long time!
It's night,
Haishi.
Chapter completed!
