Chapter 436: The Evil Knocks on the Door
"Mother-in-law, what's wrong with marrying a bride? Why did everyone go home as soon as the sun went down?" Xiao Yu'er asked in confusion.
Grandma Yang sighed.
He also took some old clothes and gave them to Little Cherry and Little Yu'er to put on.
"You have also discovered that there are many men in our village and few daughters. They are all married off in a hurry."
"I don't know when an evil spirit came to the village. That thing didn't dare to appear during the day, but only appeared at night."
"The evil spirit will knock on doors at night and ask, are you my bride?"
"Who dares to marry his daughter to him?"
"The village chief sought out several Taoists to ward off evil spirits, but they all drove them away."
Wen Mingxuan frowned: "Did you see anything evil?"
"Some people have seen it and said that to the naked eye he looks like a pretty handsome scholar, but the shadow printed on the window actually looks like an animal with pointed ears."
"It's really evil." Xiao Yu'er was surprised.
"Originally, we were looking forward to asking for help from all the immortal masters when they came to the mortal world to find disciples, but who knew they wouldn't come this year. Alas, I don't know what to do."
This year, there are particularly many people who are marrying off their daughters, while the unmarried ones are hiding in their houses, pretending to be married women, and not daring to go out.
"I originally thought about getting engaged to Little Yingtao and getting married. But unexpectedly, Little Yingtao's marriage didn't go well."
"We arranged to get married three times, but they all ended inexplicably. Either the other party's family was observing filial piety, or the other party fell in love with another girl. Alas..." Granny Yang frowned worriedly.
"If you don't want to get married, don't get married. I just happen to be at home with grandma." Little Cherry curled her lips.
"What nonsense are you talking about? If you let that evil spirit take notice, you will be rewarded." Grandma Yang glared at her.
"Why don't you change your clothes quickly?"
Little Cherry just said oh.
"Sister Yu'er, let's change together." Little Cherry took Xiao Yu'er into the house and changed her clothes, and changed her hair to look like a woman's.
After Wen Mingxuan experienced some changes, his whole person became more and more unfathomable.
His eyes are calm and deep, as if he could indulge you in them at any time.
When Xiao Yu'er came out, his eyes fell on Xiao Yu'er unconsciously.
Xiao Yuer is dressed up like a bride, and the girl's face is so red that people can't take their eyes away.
Wen Mingxuan suddenly looked away as if he had been burned.
"Sister Yu'er is so pretty, I don't know which boy will get the better of her in the future." Little Cherry surrounded her in amazement, making Little Yu'er blush with embarrassment.
Xiao Yu'er pursed her lips and said nothing, then glanced at Wen Mingxuan.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Yu'er and Mingxuan are engaged and will get married as soon as the filial piety period is over. Right?" The old lady likes Xiao Yu'er. Seeing that Xiao Yu'er is taking care of Wen Mingxuan, she naturally helps Xiao Yu.
Son talks.
Neither Xiao Yuer nor Wen Mingxuan spoke.
"Hurry and close the door and have dinner. Hey, I wonder if the immortal masters can come to catch the evil spirits. People are so scared..." Xiao Yu'er took the living expenses, and the old lady knew that they were observing filial piety, so she also tried her best to prepare a vegetarian meal.
Even though she couldn't stand Wen Mingxuan ignoring Xiao Yuer, she couldn't help but care about Wen Mingxuan.
It is even more heartbreaking to know that he has no home to go to and everyone in his family is dead.
Under candlelight, the atmosphere is warm.
If Wen Mingxuan hadn't looked so cold, if the Wen family hadn't been exterminated, perhaps he would have had a different state of mind.
"Knock knock knock..." Suddenly, everyone's ears twitched.
The old lady's face suddenly turned pale.
With a snap, he blew out the candle directly.
Under the moonlight, the old lady's face looked pale and frightened.
She raised her fingers, her eyes widened in fear, she covered her lips tightly, and shook her head at the children.
It's evil.
Evil spirits are knocking on the window.
"Excuse me, have you seen my bride?" The evil spirit stood outside the window. It was obviously the voice of a young man, but the shadows on the window were two animal ears.
The pointed mouth looks like cat ears.
Seemingly hearing no sound in the room, he asked again: "Excuse me, have you seen my bride?"
The old lady was trembling all over and tightly covering Little Cherry's mouth.
She only has one granddaughter to depend on, and she can't afford any mistakes.
Xiao Yu'er was a little surprised, this evil spirit was actually polite?
For a long time, there was no sound in the house, and the evil spirit came from another house.
After listening to him walking away, and vaguely hearing him knocking on the door of another house again, the old lady secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
My whole body broke out in cold sweat.
"This evil spirit is still polite? Does he ask every house every time?" Xiao Yu'er whispered.
The old lady was still a little scared: "He didn't come into the house, probably because there were paintings of gods on the doors and windows."
"Regardless of whether there is malicious intent or not, evil spirits should be eliminated."
"Evil spirits can't tell the difference between good and evil!" Wen Mingxuan hated evil as always.
Xiao Yu'er shook her head. She didn't know how to explain that the portraits of gods in the village had no aura.
You can't stop evil spirits.
She didn't sense the evil spirits outside the door.
Suddenly, there was a cry outside the door.
It seemed like someone opened the door.
"Oh, no, she's the girl chosen by the village chief." The old lady slapped her thigh.
When the evil spirit refused to leave the village, the village chief deliberately found a young girl to sacrifice to the evil spirit.
Hearing that the village chief had this idea, a large number of girls were married in the village.
The village chief talked to the remaining young women one by one.
I also looked for the old lady.
But the old lady only had a daughter, and she threatened that if Little Cherry married someone evil, she would hang herself in front of the village chief.
The conditions offered by the village chief were also very favorable, and the whole village worked together to get them.
Fifty taels of silver, ten acres of fertile land.
I'm afraid someone agreed.
"Actually, they came here to look for Sister Yu'er." Little Cherry snorted coldly.
"They saw that Sister Yu'er was beautiful and had no one to protect her. It was grandma who said that sister and brother were about to get married, so they gave up."
Seeing that Wen Mingxuan's face was a little cold, Xiao Yu'er secretly pulled Little Cherry's sleeve.
The crying outside was heartbreaking.
The old lady burst into tears.
"You are such a heartless thing. You marry your daughter to evil spirits just for some money. It's nothing like that."
"She must be a girl from the Zhu family. She came back to earn some betrothal gifts for her brother."
The cry was shrill and harsh, and Xiao Yu'er frowned.
Standing at the door unconsciously, his hand fell on the door bolt.
There was no malice in that Xie Sui, and she was even a bit polite. Her intuition had been extremely accurate since she was a child, and she had never made a mistake.
With a creak, Xiao Yu'er opened the door.
"Cherry is staying with grandma in the house." After saying that, she hurried out the door.
"Hey, little fish!"
"Sister Yu'er!" The old lady was shocked.
Wen Mingxuan paused and followed him out.
By the way, they also locked the grandfather and grandson in the house.
The further Xiao Yu'er walked, the more she could feel the aura of a spirit. She didn't know how to describe it, as if she knew innately that this was a spirit.
The man turned his back to her.
He is tall and slender, leaning slightly sideways, and you can vaguely see that he is a rather handsome man.
There is no evil spirit in him, nor is there any murderous intention. He has never harmed innocent creatures.
He looked a little aggrieved.
