The village was a bit lively during the day. The spacious area just outside the village entrance was filled with tables and four benches under the tables.

Just under the shade of the trees, people gathered in twos and threes. They gossiped with each other and gossiped about their parents' personal affairs. A few children played and played, which was quite lively.

There were also people who came in from outside the village intermittently, and congratulated the old Nan family and his wife. They turned a blind eye to the white decorations around them, and didn't care that the two people were wearing linen, mourning, and black cloth around their waists.

Pei Shi woke up earlier than the others and was not in a hurry to go out. Instead, he had a full stomach first.

While she was eating, Quan You and Mao Cheng woke up together. Huang Ruoxuan was the last one to wake up. From the looks of it, he didn't seem to have slept well, and there were some bruises under his eyes.

To be honest, Pei Shiqing's eyes were bruised and she felt very tired. If she had known she would have slept with the flashlight on, there were two flashlights and a bunch of batteries in her backpack!

Now her backpack can be regarded as a treasure chest, containing everything.

"Get up, we're going to have a special dinner today, and you all have to come out to support me." Chun Cao's rich voice came from outside the door.

Pei Shiqing was the first to go out, only to find that there were many people in the village. Most of them gathered at the entrance of the village. Some people were already sitting on benches, eating melon seeds and smoking cigarettes.

In Nanshan Village, small roads extend in all directions, and the houses face south. The entrance of the village is relatively close to the end of the village, only about five or six yards away, but it cannot help the village extending up the mountain. Going left from the entrance of the village, there are several rows of houses, towards

Walking to the right, there are several more rows. Altogether, there are about a hundred people in the village.

Although it is a mountain village, it is located in a relatively gentle location. Each house is surrounded by a yard. In the yard, some chickens and ducks should be raised, and some home-cooked vegetables and fruits should be grown. But now it is bare and can only be seen at a glance.

Going to a lonely house is as desolate as winter.

However, the lively scene at the entrance of the village made the village seem to come alive.

These villagers looked familiar to several of them, as if they were villagers from Nanshan Village who had returned from working abroad.

A few people dispersed as soon as they left the house. There were so many villagers now, so it didn't feel like there was much danger.

Pei Shiqing wanted to find someone to find out about the situation, but he didn't expect someone to come over to him.

"I said I was going to pick you up today, but you came back yesterday. Really, I didn't even notify you in advance." A young girl about the same age as Pei Shiqing, wearing braids, looked at her angrily.

Pei Shiqing smiled and said, "Of course I want to give you some surprises, so that you don't have to go pick me up."

"But your sister hasn't come back?" The girl with two braids looked behind Pei Shiqing.

Pei Shiqing blinked, she has a younger sister?

"Hey, Bai Cha, why didn't you come back with your sister?" an aunt at the entrance of the village said to a girl wearing white short-sleeves and suspenders.

The girl didn't know why she had an extra sister, so she could only respond awkwardly, "I had something to do, so I didn't come back with my sister."

"White tea! Here!" The girl with braids next to Pei Shiqing waved to Bai Cha.

Bai Cha looked over and saw the difference in Pei Shiqing at a glance. After all, the clothes of the people in this village were a bit shabby, and the styles were very contemporary. Although Pei Shiqing was also wearing ordinary wide short sleeves and jeans, it was obvious that he was not from the village.

of villagers.

"I was just telling you why your sister didn't come back, and now she's here. It really means Cao Cao Cao Cao has arrived." The girl with braided braids said with a smile.

Pei Shiqing suddenly realized that this white tea was his sister. Even though their last names were different, the people in the village didn't find it strange at all.

"Hongxue, come here quickly, we need help in the kitchen!" A woman wearing an apron came out with a shovel and shouted to several people.

The girl with two braids responded and said to Pei Shiqing, "I'll come back to you after I finish cooking!"

After Hongxue left, Bai Cha looked at the lively crowd around him, approached Pei Shiqing and said, "Are you a player in this game?"

"It's me, my name is Pei Shiqing."

"My name is Bai Cha, and my nickname is Qing Huan." Bai Cha smiled, a little shy.

"Well, everyone else has already gone to look for clues. Let's separate and meet here at eleven o'clock." Pei Shiqing pointed to the place under his feet and said to Bai Cha.

Bai Cha nodded and separated from Pei Shiqing.

Fortunately, everyone in the village knew Pei Shiqing, so she easily blended in, sitting aside and listening to them quietly.

"There is no need for the Wang family's pigs to be sold out. This time, Lao Nan's family in the village killed one at once. On the day of the main banquet, more people will come, so they will have to kill two more pigs."

"What I'm saying is that it saves trouble for Lao Wang's family."

"But the eldest daughter of the Wang family is also an adult, right? Why don't we see her discussing marriage?"

"You can pull her down. The eldest daughter of the Wang family is so thick and thick that even the young people in our village can't control her. Besides, her father is also a ruthless person. Who dares to provoke her?"

Pei Shiqing frowned and listened to their discussion, but they were all short-sighted, and he didn't hear them mention the names of the bride and groom until the end.

The most I know is that Lao Nan’s family held the wedding.

"Who is the groom?" Pei Shiqing said casually from the side, but what she didn't expect was that the surrounding area suddenly became quiet, and everyone in the village stared at her.

This is true for all villagers except the player.

"Who is the groom?" The villager closest to Pei Shiqing suddenly opened his mouth mechanically and spoke each word very clearly.

"Who is the groom?"

"Who is the groom?"

One villager after another spoke again and again, one after another.

Pei Shiqing clenched her fists nervously. Did she accidentally touch some unspeakable taboo?

Damn it, you shouldn't be so reckless.

But it’s just one sentence, how could it become like this?

The voice seemed to reach the entrance of the village and then came back from the entrance of the village, "Choose the groom."

"Choose the groom."

"Choose the groom."

One after another, the atmosphere in the village became even more eerie.

After the last villager finished speaking, they regained their composure, but they all looked at Pei Shiqing with their eyes, making her scalp numb.

Moreover, since there is a wedding, how can the groom be appointed now?

"Choose the groom." Pei Shiqing followed tentatively, but saw that all the villagers returned to their original state and said, "It's time to choose the groom."

Another replied: "You have to choose at night, now is a bad time."

In fact, Pei Shiqing wanted to ask who the bride was, but he never dared to ask.

The village became lively again.

Pei Shiqing stood up from the bench and walked towards the entrance of the village. If she guessed correctly, the couple receiving the gift at the door were the hosts of the wedding.

But when she got closer, she realized that the eyebrows of the two men were furrowed downward, obviously reluctant, but the corners of their mouths were raised strangely, and they kept saying polite words.

"Hey, aren't you that...?" A voice that was somewhat familiar to Pei Shiqing came from the village gate.
