Cai Die took a step back unconsciously when Su Wangting glared at her, and asked in confusion: "Why...why are you so interested in this girl?"
Su Wangting grabbed Bai Kui's long knife: "She is my friend!!"
Su Wangting suddenly recalled at this moment that Bai Kui was in Shuanghua Palace that day and overheard his conversation with Pan Zaixing.
So it's not surprising to know that I will go straight to Kurosawa.
But how did this girl know that Kurosawa was in Yeliu Kingdom?
Could it be that she went to Huanyan Pavilion?
Mu Shilan not only did not stop her from coming, but also told her the location of Kurosawa?
That guy!!
Thinking of this, Su Wangting covered his face, shook his head and said: "This ancestor must have come looking for me. With her unruly and fiery temper, it would be strange not to offend you."
"Ah?" Cai Die was shocked when he heard this, and then lowered his head with a confused look on his face, "What...what should we do? If you go and take her back, won't our Liucai Sect offend the tax collector?"
Su Wangting's face darkened: "Then would you rather offend the tax collector, or me?"
"Offended the tax collector." Cadie replied without thinking.
If you offend the tax collector, you can just give him some money to make amends and find him a wife.
Can he offend the Blood Shura in front of him who once destroyed the White Tiger Hall alone in anger?
Cai Die shook her head vigorously in her heart.
Who would be stupid enough to put the sect in danger of being exterminated?
Which one is more important and which one is less important? As the sect leader, of course she weighs it clearly.
Su Wangting inserted Bai Kui's long knife into his waist and asked anxiously: "Where is the tax collector's residence?"
Caidi thought for a while and replied: "It's not very far. It's more than a hundred miles away in the western suburbs of Anqie City."
"I know, I have been there." Qian Duoduo suddenly ran in, "I once went to that village to sell medicinal herbs. I will take you there."
The colorful butterfly's red lips opened slightly, but she stopped talking.
In the end, Qian Duoduo still didn't stop him.
Su Wangting saw her thoughts and said: "I understand the worry of the sect master. After taking back my friend, regardless of whether there is anyone chasing behind him, it will be inconvenient for him to come to your sect again, otherwise I am afraid it will bring trouble to your sect."
As he spoke, Su Wangting stretched out his hand and rubbed Qian Duoduo's head: "Hurry up and change out of your Gu Master's clothes. Don't let people see me with someone from the Liucai Sect walking beside me, otherwise your clan will be harmed.
Door. After rescuing my friend, we will go directly to Kyushu to help you find your relative."
"Really!?" Qian Duoduo jumped and clapped his hands, his face bright.
Su Wangting smiled helplessly and said: "Really. Go quickly and remember to pack your belongings."
"okay!"
Qian Duoduo ran out happily.
Caidi looked at Qian Duoduo's cheerful back with a sad look on his face and sighed: "Now that this girl is gone, I don't know when we will see her again. Thinking about the fact that there will be no crazy girl running around in the village from now on, I
I feel... uncomfortable."
"Are you worried that she will never come back after finding a bride?"
Cai Die rubbed the corners of her eyes and nodded slightly: "Yes. But having said that, Duoduo is from Kyushu after all. Even if she never returns to Liucai Sect, it is only natural."
Su Wangting comforted her softly: "This is the place where she grew up, and you are all the relatives who raised her. I think she will definitely come back after she finds her tribe and fulfills her wish."
Caidi covered her mouth and sobbed, then nodded: "I wish."
After lunch, Cai Die personally sent the two of them to the gate of the village.
Not only Cai Die, but almost everyone in the village spontaneously walked out of the village gate, reluctantly looking at this living treasure that everyone in the village had held in their hands.
The heartless Qian Duoduo felt a little sad. He pursed his lips and looked around at everyone. Finally, he couldn't hold it back and threw himself into Cai Die's arms with red eyes.
"Are you ashamed? You are already a big girl." Cai Die gently stroked her back.
Just like a child traveling away from home for the first time, Cai Die whispered in her ear for half a stick of incense before urging her to go on the road with tears in her eyes.
The two horses, one behind the other, left Charong Village.
Su Wangting followed Qian Duoduo silently, looking at the lonely and petite back, not knowing how to comfort him.
She must be extremely melancholy at this time.
After walking silently for more than thirty miles, Su Wangting finally said: "Duoduo, if you are not mentally prepared, you can go back to Charong Village. The same goes for looking for relatives in the future."
"No!" Unexpectedly, Qian Duoduo shouted simply and patted a bulging cloth bag he was carrying, "I can't let my dad wait any longer. I once swore that I would take care of him as soon as possible.
Take it back to the ancestral grave for burial."
Su Wangting was startled when he heard this. He stared at the cloth bag as if expecting something, and asked hesitantly: "In that bag of yours..."
Qian Duoduo held the cloth bag in his arms and replied softly: "It is the urn of my parents."
When Su Wangting heard this, he was speechless for a long time.
After walking in silence for another ten miles, he finally said, "As long as I'm here, don't worry. We will definitely bring your parents home smoothly."
"Yes!" Qian Duoduo nodded heavily and turned around to give Su Wangting a big smile.
"If there are villages along the way later, can you buy some candies for you to eat?"
"Hurrah!!"
So the petite figure in front started to shake his head again according to the frequency of the horse's pace, and from time to time he turned his head and looked around for the chirping birds, blowing a small whistle one after another.
Seeing Qian Duoduo becoming lively again, Su Wangting, who was following behind, smiled happily.
They stayed overnight in villages along the way, and it wasn't until nearly noon the next day that they arrived at the village where the tax collector was.
The village is not small in size. At a glance, there are at least 40 to 50 large and small bamboo houses.
In the open space in the center of the village, more than twenty bamboo tables have been placed, and some dishes have been served on the tables. The villagers in the village came out of their homes one after another and sat down at these bamboo tables.
After Qian Duoduo's introduction, we learned that the largest bamboo building in front of the open space is the ancestral hall; and according to the custom of Yeliu Country, the wedding will begin after the couple worships their ancestors in the ancestral hall.
Su Wangting secretly thought that the customs of this wedding were similar to those in Kyushu. It seemed that the folk customs and culture of Yeliu Country were also deeply influenced by Kyushu.
Su Wangting still found it incredible that the strong folk custom of catching a woman on the road and getting married after she came back was unbelievable.
According to Qian Duoduo, according to custom, the bride's natal family will not be asked where she is until the second day after the wedding. Then on the seventh day, the man will visit the bride's natal family with generous gifts and pay for a banquet for relatives and friends of the bride's family.
Well, it is indeed a tough folk custom.
It doesn’t matter whether your mother-in-law wants it or not, I will kill it first and then report it, and I will inform you after the wedding.
Before this, the identity of the son-in-law was unknown, and even why the daughter suddenly disappeared was unknown.
It wasn't until they came to visit her after the wedding that her parents' family suddenly realized what she was doing.
Only when the uncooked rice becomes cooked rice will we know who our daughter married.
According to custom, even if you marry a beggar, your mother's family is not allowed to object, otherwise your husband's family can report to the government.
This is simply more exciting than gambling.
Su Wangting imagined the scene when the new son-in-law came to his door. He must have laughed at his father-in-law and said, "My son-in-law is a beggar. Are you surprised? Are you surprised?"
Thinking that the father-in-law must have forcibly swallowed a mouthful of old blood, he laughed and said: "I can't do anything if I have an accident!!"
Su Wangting took Qian Duoduo and randomly picked a bamboo table and sat down.
Facing the strange looks from his tablemates, Su Wangting just smiled and said that he was a relative of the man. No one was suspicious and he was fooled.
Gradually, more and more people took the seats.
The mutual discussions became more and more noisy.
Most of them are about the newlyweds.
Some people say that the stupid son of a tax collector is so lucky to have picked up such a beautiful woman and got married.
Some people also say that the woman was so lucky to be the daughter-in-law of a tax collector's family, which was considered a high achievement.
During this period, some folks at the same table also asked Su Wangting what he thought.
Su Wangting said while eating melon seeds: "Well, I think the bride's natal family will definitely be very surprised."
Su Wangting imagined that if Bai Taixing saw a stupid son-in-law come to the door, he was afraid that the sword-drawing technique that had not been used for many years would be restored in an instant.
As he thought about it, Su Wangting actually chuckled.
The folks at the same table stared blankly at the man who was giggling to himself, thoughtfully. After looking at each other for a while, they all nodded in unison, as if they had reached some kind of consensus.
It seems that the groom's relatives also have a tradition of giving birth to silly sons.
"Boom!! Boom!! Boom!!"
Suddenly, he heard the sound of a gong beating three times. Su Wangting was so frightened that he trembled all over and almost choked on the melon seeds.
Then I saw an old man walking slowly to the front of the ancestral hall and said loudly: "The auspicious time has arrived~~~ The newlyweds enter the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors~~~"
After finishing speaking, bursts of firecrackers sounded.
In a burst of green smoke, Su Wangting faintly saw a couple wearing red shirts slowly walking into the ancestral hall.
Unexpectedly, the bride actually walked on her own, with a maid beside her supporting her.
"Eh!? Didn't your sect master say that he was poisoned?" Su Wangting asked in a low voice.
After hearing this, Qian Duoduo stood up on tiptoes, squinted his eyes and observed for a moment, then sat down and whispered back: "It's probably because he was poisoned by the Lost Soul Gu."
"Lost Soul Gu??"
Qian Duoduo nodded: "Yes. Not only are the meridians in the body of those who have been infected by this poison blocked, they are unable to have luck, but the bewitcher is also allowed to control their body movements. Although they are conscious and can see and hear, they are unable to speak. I
I just took a look and saw that the person supporting Miss Bai was one of my senior sisters."
Su Wangting nodded slightly: "So that's it, there is actually a Gu Master who has been controlling it all the time."
"Why don't I go over there secretly now, tell the senior sister about the situation, and ask her to get rid of the poison immediately?"
"But don't!" Su Wangting waved his hands repeatedly, "If that girl gets rid of the poison here, do you think she will fly into a rage and kill everyone in this village?"
Qian Duoduo stuck out his tongue: "Is Miss Bai that powerful?"
Su Wangting snorted softly: "That's right! There is nothing this girl can't do. With a group of people, she dared to rush to Jiuzhou and Tieshan Temple and kill more than fifty people."
"My mother, do you dare to offend Tieshan Temple?" Qian Duoduo stood on tiptoe and looked at the ancestral hall again, "Tsk, tsk, it seems that this girl Bai is really a hero among girls. I will have to learn from her in the future."
Su Wangting smiled bitterly and said: "You can learn from whoever you want, but don't learn from her. If you learn a savage habit that is not afraid of anything, that's fine."
While they were talking, they saw several shirtless strong men carrying a heavy piece of bluestone on poles wrapped in red cloth. They placed it at the entrance of the ancestral hall and saluted the old man who presided over the wedding.
The old man looked at the bluestone with a smile and nodded repeatedly, seeming very satisfied.
This square bluestone is in the shape of a long strip, with neatly polished corners, and exquisite patterns carved on all sides. In the middle of the pattern on one side are three large characters - Marriage Liang.
"What is this stone used for?" Su Wangting asked puzzledly.
Qian Duoduo explained: "It is a kind of wedding ceremony. After the newlyweds come out to worship, the men who come to the wedding banquet will come forward one by one and pat the marriage beam with their palms. If the marriage beam is not broken, it means that
I hope God agrees to this marriage. Haha, it is difficult for ordinary people to break such a thick stone beam, even for a master with profound internal strength. It is just a ceremony."
Su Wangting suddenly realized.
Then a smirk appeared on his face.
"This custom is okay. I like it!" This chapter has been completed!
