Chapter Fourteen: The Scarlet Coffin

This time, the old smoker lost his previous calmness, and his expression also changed.

After a while, he took a deep breath and continued to knock on the door for the fourth time.

Only this time he didn't say the same thing again. Instead, he bent down a little every time he knocked on the door. By the third time he knocked on the door, the old smoker had completely bent over.

Only then did he speak again.

"The young master of the Li family, Li Xuantian, is here to welcome the bride."

"Please..."

"Perfect!"

After saying the last two words, a mouthful of blood spat out from the old smoker's mouth, and the old smoker's face turned as white as paper in an instant.

I subconsciously wanted to dismount, but the old smoker waved his hand, and then continued to knock on the door for the fifth time.

But this time, the old smoker knelt down directly.

Seeing this scene, my face changed, and my heart was full of mixed emotions. Looking at the room with the closed door, I also had some indescribable emotions in my heart.

It's not that I'm angry, it's more helpless.

Because at this time, no matter how stupid I am, I can still think of some reasons. Nine times out of ten, it has something to do with that dream. That young lady may really want me to leave here.

But things have reached this point, and the old smoker has done so much, which makes me have no intention of changing my mind even if I still hesitate in my heart.

I didn't wait for the old smoker to speak again, I got off the horse directly, walked quickly to the old smoker, and then helped the old smoker up.

When the old smoker saw me dismounting, he wanted to scold me. For the first time, I saw him shake his head firmly, then raised his hand and knocked on the door three times like the old smoker did, and then shouted: "Li Xuantian is here to welcome the bride."

"Please..."

However, before I could finish my words, a sudden pressure hit me in an instant, and without me being prepared, I was pushed directly to the ground.

The old smoker's face also turned cold, and there was a bit more anger in his eyes.

But I didn't care and stood up directly, even though I looked a little more embarrassed.

I walked to the door again and continued to knock.

Three times in a row.

The door finally opened.

At the same time, a vague sigh also came out.

I can even feel that there seems to be eyes falling on me at this time, and there seem to be many emotions mixed in those eyes, but I can't distinguish them.

When the old smoker saw the door opened, he walked in as soon as possible, and then made a gesture of invitation, gesturing for me to come in.

I followed in without lingering any longer.

But after I stepped through the door, the scene in front of me changed again.

It is no longer as lively as it is outside, but seems to have returned to the appearance of Niang'er Village in my impression, which is lonely, desolate and lifeless.

But in front of me, there was only a big red coffin.

There were two people standing on both sides of the coffin. The two people looked very similar to the people who came with me. Although they were people, they didn't have any sense of agility. I knew that they should also come from the so-called Chenghuang Tie.

I don't care about those two people, what I care about is the big red coffin.

The first time I saw the big red coffin, I had a feeling that the young lady was inside. Although this feeling was somewhat outrageous, it was also true.

There is no doubt that my feeling is indeed right.

The old smoker was not surprised at all when he saw the big red coffin. Instead, he immediately walked to the coffin, bowed towards it, and then said loudly: "Pick up the bride!"

Then the old smoker looked at me.

I understood in my heart, but I still looked at the old smoker and asked, "Is she in there?"

The old smoker looked at me with a more complicated look for the first time, and then nodded slightly.

I couldn't help but smile and didn't say anything else.

At this point, there is no point in saying anything.

Seeing that I didn't say anything, the old smoker said again: "After you leave this door, you will become husband and wife."

"If she wants to see you, you can meet soon."

"If she doesn't want to..."

The old smoker stopped and said no more.

I smiled and said, "Will we never see each other again?"

The old smoker remained silent, which was regarded as acquiescence.

I don't really care about this, after all, I have been alone for the past eighteen years. If it weren't for the old smoker's help, this incident would not have happened.

It's great if you can see it.

If you can't see it, just treat it as a dream.

I'm still very calm about this.

Seeing my nonchalant look, the old smoker continued: "There are even greater difficulties before you now."

"If you can't take this step, it will be impossible for you, and you may even die faster!"

After the old smoker finished speaking, he walked directly to the door. When I just pushed the coffin to the door, the old smoker had already taken out a piece of red paper from his arms, with an incense burner drawn on the red paper.

After he lit the red paper, one of the people walking on both sides of the coffin took out an incense burner and handed it to the old smoker.

After the old smoker was finished, he lit the smoke on the incense burner, then knelt on the ground again and raised the incense burner above his head.

"Young Master Li Xuantian of the Li family is very happy today."

"please……"

"Lord City God came to witness it in person!"

"boom!"

As the old smoker's words fell, the entire Niang'er Village was instantly covered with dark clouds, there were bursts of thunder in the sky, and the cold wind howled, as if it had suddenly entered night from day.

Even I was shocked by this sudden change.

But the old smoker seemed to have expected it. He was still kneeling on the ground holding the incense burner with his face unchanged, but his eyes were always looking outside the room, as if waiting for something.

I couldn't push the coffin out despite being blocked by the old smoker.

I can only look at it like this.

It wasn't until the pouring rain started to fall that I finally heard the sound of footsteps, which became more and more obvious from far to near.

The old smoker's waist slowly bent down, until a lame wild dog with messy hair appeared in front of the old smoker.

When I saw the lame wild dog, my eyelids jumped.

I am all too familiar with the wild dogs wandering around the entrance to Niang'er Village.

This lame wild dog is one of them.

It already existed when the old madman was still around, and even I don't know its origin.

I have always teased him as an ordinary wild dog, and I would kick him from time to time. He was the one who was bullied the most.

The lame wild dog stared straight at the old smoker.

Until the old smoker's head almost dropped to the ground, it slowly put its hand on the incense burner on the old smoker's head.

Then a voice came from its mouth.

"Lord Cheng Huang has no free time today."

"When we get married, it's the same as before."
