Chapter 51: Getting married at night, what a custom!
In an instant, Liu Wenchang stood on his head with hair all over his body. A chill came from the soles of his feet and went straight to his brain. He once again felt the chilling feeling before.
He quickly rubbed his eyes and regained his courage to look towards the path.
With just one glance, a trace of doubt flashed across his eyes.
This time, the hazy, foggy feeling disappeared, everything became so clear, and under the light of the fire, it didn't seem too abrupt.
The first thing that appeared in the eyes was the two people in coarse cloth with festive makeup, red rouge and white foundation. One of them was holding a suona and playing it hard, and the other was holding a suona with both hands. The gongs and drums were beaten vigorously.
Both of their faces were filled with joy, their mouth corners were curled back, and their eyes were narrowed into slits.
Behind these two people.
Wearing a wild goose feather hat and red silk clothes, his face looked happy, the corners of his mouth were grinned back, his eyes were narrowed to a slit, his steps were neither hasty nor slow, and he was calm and calm. He looked very relaxed and comfortable, and had an unconcealable charm. Feelings of joy.
After this person, there is a team of people wearing hats and red clothes. They work in pairs, one behind the other, carrying a shelf with both hands, and the shelf is covered with red cloth.
These people all grinned back, their eyes narrowed, and their faces were filled with joy.
Wait, did I see it wrong before? This is obviously the team going to pick up the bride.
But why are they regarded as "animals"...
But this must be the team that goes to pick up the bride.
The person walking in the front is naturally the person playing the suona and the gongs and drums. The person following behind is the groom, and behind him are the people carrying the betrothal gift and other things.
But... going to pick up a bride this late at night?
We are still in the mountains, what kind of custom is this?
I have never heard of any place that chooses to pick up a bride at night.
But he couldn't say for sure. After all, he hadn't heard of it, and it didn't mean that there was no such place. Maybe there were some places where couples were picked up at night, and he couldn't say for sure.
Liu Wenchang squinted his eyes and stood there thinking for a while.
I don’t know if the family that got married lived in the mountains all year round. If they lived in the mountains all year round, then they probably didn’t know that he was a murderer, so they would naturally not be able to recognize themselves.
Things will be much easier to handle.
But if the other party recognizes me, things will be difficult...
Therefore, it is a very difficult decision whether to follow up or not.
Just as he stood there hesitating.
Looking up at the wedding procession, his expression paused.
Under the light of the fire, on the path where the wedding team was walking, the mountain collector he had followed before was standing there, as if waiting for the arrival of the wedding team.
Immediately afterwards, he saw the man bowing slightly and saluting in front of the wedding reception team.
In the wedding team, a person immediately walked out of the team, stepped forward to help the person up, and then, with a bright smile, he enthusiastically led the person to the back of the team.
However, there was no smile on the man's face, and he always gave people a sense of tension.
Co-author... This guy suddenly stopped leaving. Is he waiting for the wedding party's pick-up team?
call.
Liu Wenchang breathed a long sigh of relief, and the big stone hanging from his heart fell.
Then, he rolled his eyes, frowned, and looked straight at the wedding team and the person who joined the wedding team to collect mountain treasures.
……
Gulu.
Zhang Hao swallowed his saliva and felt the sweat on his forehead. He felt that the hairs all over his body were standing on end. He also felt the tension and anxiety in his heart all the time.
Looking at the wedding team walking towards him on the path in front of him, he still couldn't control himself better. After all, those who came were not human beings, not a normal wedding team!
The two foxes holding the suona and gongs and drums were still playing and beating hard.
The corners of their mouths were completely grinned, and their eyes full of cunning were narrowed into slits. Their legs were not suitable for standing upright, and they stood a little stiffly. There were also hairs on their bodies that could not be concealed.
The same goes for the fox groom behind him. He is wearing a festive red wedding dress and a wild goose feather hat. The corners of his mouth are grinning almost to the base of his ears. His hands are swinging wildly, his legs are bent, and his back cannot be straight.
This is especially true for the foxes who are following the fox groom and carrying betrothal gifts or wedding supplies.
That's some fox, fox!
But they are so human-like, just like real people!
Walk upright, smile, squint your eyes, imitate the scene when humans get married, and do some of the same things.
No, Zhang Hao still couldn't accept it. He still felt weird when he saw it. Yes, it was weird and uncomfortable like never before.
But he still suppressed his inner thoughts and took a deep breath.
When I feel that there is only a little bit of yang energy left in my body and it has been completely infiltrated by yin energy.
He looked at the group of foxes again.
At this time, he turned his head slightly, glanced at the position behind him, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.
The person who has been following him, I hope he can leave here as soon as possible.
If he hadn't been letting the Yin Qi enter his body just now, and couldn't touch or talk to living people, he would have driven that person away at any cost.
There is no other reason.
When the fox is getting married, no living person can approach it, let alone participate in it. If you don't enter, you will be seriously ill or die.
"Wait, that's not right..."
Zhang Hao suddenly realized something, his expression was startled, and he realized something was wrong.
The fox's wedding team has appeared. If you look at it from the perspective of tracking the person, that person can also see the fox's wedding team.
But... the man didn't seem to have any intention of running away.
Although it was possible, the man hadn't looked this way yet and hadn't seen the fox's wedding party yet.
But if he saw it, he would definitely scream out immediately and then run away.
After all, anyone who sees such a strange scene in the wild will be frightened and run away, and will not stay where he is to watch.
And the man neither screamed nor left...
"Then there is only one possibility."
Zhang Hao suddenly fell into thinking. The person who was following him had most likely been confused by the fox. No, it was 100% that he had been confused by the fox.
He remembered that there was a corresponding record in the "Illustrated Record of Mountain Walking Travel".
[Marrying a fox means no harm, unless you meet an evil person. 】
To put it simply, foxes have no intention of harming people. They will not confuse ordinary people for no reason. Especially on such a big day as a fox getting married, they will never choose to harm people.
Although these animals may not be as smart as humans, and there is a corresponding gap in IQ between them and humans, they have their own system for distinguishing between good people and bad people.
This is especially true for foxes.
What's more, these foxes are completely different from ordinary animals. They can get married, so how can they be normal animals!
The married fox will only choose to actively confuse others under one circumstance.
That is, when encountering an evil person, the fox does not need to suffer backlash, so he can actively confuse the evil person.
