Views:

The gongs and drums are roaring in the sky, and the red makeup is ten miles away.

The Song family girl is married.

Married to a wealthy family, the husband's family is a little far away, there are only a dozen people who send the relatives, but there are more than a hundred people in the team to pick up the relatives. The first person to carry the burden has already arrived at the gate of the town, and the last porter has not yet arrived from Song Dynasty. out of the house.

The people along the way led the boy to sprinkle candy along the way, and sent blessings one after another, and the girls of the same age were all envious.

The bride sitting in the sedan chair blushed, and the golden tassels with red hijab swayed with the ups and downs of the sedan chair, dangling in her eyes.

She and the bridegroom met in the temple. There are many people in the temple. I don't know who stepped on the skirt.

Fall in love at first sight, fall in love with each other.

Within a month, he came to ask for marriage.

Apart from the long journey, she has nothing to dislike. After saying goodbye to her parents in tears, she sat on the sedan chair and went to see her lover, her groom, and her husband.

Thinking about it, the tears gradually dried, and there was a little more shyness of the girl.

After three days, the sedan chair finally arrived at the groom's home. With the help of Xi Niang, she bowed to the bridegroom and entered the bridal room amid the festive sound of the guests.

The beautiful bride sits on the bed and waits for her groom to come in. Wait, wait, wait for a long time, the sound of the guests outside stopped, and there was no movement.

All the way, the bride was very tired. After sitting for a long time, she felt that something was wrong, so she lifted her red hijab and went out to have a look.

Looking at it, I didn't see the full house of guests, nor her groom, but I saw blood on the ground, and there were more than ten people lying on the ground, and I was out of breath.

She was shocked. Those people were all sent by her parents to send her relatives.

Suddenly, there was a burst of red light in the quiet yard, and the sweet smell of the lake water was blowing. She looked up and saw a handsome young man in brocade clothes sitting on a huge red and white koi.

The handsome fisherman's long black hair fell on the back of the koi, his expression was gloomy, his eyes were empty and bottomless, he "looked" at the beautiful and unfamiliar bride, and asked, "You, see my Is it the bride?"

"what-"

Mimicking the girl's exclamation, the storyteller's voice suddenly became sharp, which shocked everyone who was listening to the book seriously, and the seeds in Xifeng's mouth also cracked with a bang, making her red lips slightly blown. pain.

She touched her lips, and the storyteller knocked on the wake wood again, knocking on the tabletop with a bang, so he didn't talk any further.

The people listening to the book asked, "What happened afterward? What happened afterward?"

The storyteller continued: "When the girl of the Song family woke up, she found herself at the door of her mother's house. After the second elder of the Song family heard about it, they immediately sent someone to the groom's house, but there is no big family there. It's just an abandoned mansion, the yard is full of bones, and it is eerie. If you ask the nearby residents, they all say that the place has been abandoned for a long time, and there is no one at all!"

Everyone took a breath of cold air again and sighed: "weird, weird."

Xifeng hummed after eating a melon seed kernel: "It's either a ghost or a monster."

"The girl from the Song family has lost her mind since then, and the two elders of the Song family regret it, and this matter has become an unsolved case."

The quick-responding crowd immediately asked, "Is this actually true?"

Someone who knew about the incident said, "It's true. Just a few days ago, the girl was frightened and fooled by the real incident of the Sun family in the town next door. She cried all day to find the groom, saying that he was eaten by a monster."

"Poor."

The storyteller did not continue to talk about it. It was originally a gimmick. Whoever wants to be told that the Song family is the Sun family, when the Sun family hears it and comes to investigate, it will be troublesome.

It also happened to be the end of a story, and he continued to tell a new story, while Xifeng was still nibbling on melon seeds.

Qing Yuan looked at the small mountain of melon seeds piled up in front of her and asked, "Is it delicious?"

Xifeng pushed the melon seeds in front of him: "Eat it."

Qing Yuan stared at the little dust on the melon seeds and put the shell into his mouth... Unable to help, his expression became solemn.

Xifeng glanced at him with disgust, and he "cracked" another one, peeled out the kernels of the melon seeds with his hands, and stuffed them into his mouth.

Qing Yuan chewed slowly and swallowed. Xifeng asked, "Delicious?"

"It's unpalatable."

Xifeng nodded in relief: "That's good." Fortunately, he said it was unpalatable, otherwise she would have to work hard to peel the seeds of the sunflower seeds for him.

With her, Qing Yuan rarely sits in one place so leisurely for most of the day. He feels that the west wind has changed, and he will enjoy life and no longer fight for money. "What are we doing here?" he asked.

"Listen to the book."

Xiaohuo, who was hidden in Qingyuan's sleeve, hummed: "On the first day of this place's opening, all tea is free, and lunch will be taken care of later."

Qing Yuan: "..." Xifeng really isn't that kind of person.

After Xifeng ate all the melon seeds, she saw that the second teahouse hadn't come to refill the water and the melon seeds, and seeing that the sky was still far from noon, she thought for a while, drank the tea in one gulp, stood up and said, "The town next door is not far from here. , I'll be back when I go."

Xiaohuo probed and asked, "Are you working?"

"Yeah." Xifeng pressed Qing Yuan, who was about to get up, and said gloomily, "Don't follow, you give me a good seat here, don't wait for me to come back, the seat is occupied, and I still have lunch. "

After Xifeng finished speaking, he left. Qing Yuan originally planned to stay obediently, but he always felt that the little fire in his sleeve was moving, and the sound was abnormal. He looked down and couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Xiaohuo, who was nibbling on melon seeds and trying to pile up the shell mountain of melon seeds, noticed that there was a burning gaze, and when he looked up, he saw Qingyuan staring at him, he thought about it, and handed him a paw of melon seeds: "Do you want it?"

Qing Yuan stood up abruptly, and all the melon seeds in his sleeves fell out. The frightened bystanders only saw a red mouse sitting on the ground rubbing its butt, and a cyan shadow disappeared instantly.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, suddenly thinking of the strange things the storyteller said just now, and immediately screamed and ran away.

For a while, the teahouse was deserted, and no one was seen.

It just happened five days ago. When Xifeng arrived in the town, he heard people talking about it along the way. One was more terrifying than the other. He also described the appearance of the carp boy in great detail, as if they had all seen it before. The man riding the carp.

Xifeng inquired all the way and arrived in front of Sun's house. She thought the Sun family was a big family, but it turned out that it was not, just an ordinary small family.

In this case, it may not be able to afford the money for catching monsters, and maybe it is just a few buns.

When the west wind was hesitating, a haggard-looking woman came to the alley. There were a few freshly picked vegetables in the vegetable basket. She passed by Xifeng and walked a few steps, then turned back to look at her: "Did the girl come to see my Qianqian? You are the girl of the An family."

"I… "

As the woman said that, she took her hand and shed two lines of tears: "You wrote back to Qianqian, asking how well you are, and saying you want to visit, we thought you were joking, after all, you moved away since you were young, I haven't seen each other for several years. But when you hear your parents mention about Qianqian, you still write to say hello, or even come in person... Auntie thank you for Qianqian."

"I… "

"Since Qianqian became ill, those girls didn't even dare to enter the door, for fear that they would be caught by evil spirits to be their brides." The woman said with tears in her eyes, "I thought Qianqian was married to a good family, who would have thought..."

"Auntie." Xifeng said, "I want to go in and see Qianqian."

The woman hurriedly wiped away her tears, and then she reacted to being rude, and led her inside. Before she had taken two steps, she turned her head and gestured behind her: "This person has been staring at you, who are you? ?"

Xifeng frowned, and when he saw it, it was Qingyuan. A hundred thoughts flew through her mind - her seat was gone! Lunch is gone!

"No, know, know!" Xifeng said, pulling the woman and entering the door, idiot Qinglong.

The woman said cautiously: "The son that I know Qianqian is also very handsome, and I felt that something was wrong at the time. I have a good family background, and I am handsome, so why did I fall in love with a small family like us. Come on, the house is full, and I feel that there is nothing to deceive, and this young man has a good temper. We met a few times and all felt good, so we agreed."

Xifeng pricked up his ears and listened carefully, and asked, "Did the dowry disappear along with it?"

"No."

Xifeng's eyes suddenly brightened and shone brightly.

The girl from the Sun family is only sixteen years old, and she looks beautiful, not a beauty. She was sitting in her yard drinking tea, looking like a normal person.

"Qianqian, do you think who came to see you? Your Uncle An's daughter used to live next door to our house."

Qianqian looked up at her, recognized her, and said, "Cuihua?"

West Wind: "… "

The woman smiled and said, "Yes, it is Cuihua."

"..." Wait, Auntie, if she knew she had such a dirty name, she wouldn't pretend to be an Anjia girl!

Qianqian came over and took her hand, pulled her to the stone table, and poured tea for her: "Cuihua, you are more beautiful than before, you have become a big girl, you can find Ruyi Langjun..." Her hand pouring tea Suddenly startled, his expression suddenly changed, and he said in a trembling voice, "Lang Jun... Lang Jun..."

"Wow!" She lifted the teapot in her hand, and the tea splashed Xifeng's face.

The west wind wiped off the cold tea, holding back, don't beat anyone.

The woman had already come over to grab Qianqian's hand and said anxiously, "Qianqian, don't talk about it, go into the room with your mother."

"Don't—" Qianqian hissed, "I'm going to find him, he was eaten by a monster and died! I'm going to find him, I'm going to find him."

She shouted so loudly that the woman could hardly hold it back. Xifeng stood up slowly, a knife slashed on her neck, Qianqian rolled her eyes, and immediately fainted.

Xifeng clapped his hands and said, "Okay, be quiet."

The woman didn't know whether to thank her or be angry, and finally said helplessly, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Xifeng asked, "Auntie, Qianqian's lover, did you meet at the temple?"

"right."

"Where is the specific location of the groom's home?"

Knowing the ins and outs, Xifeng said goodbye to the Sun family, and planned to go to the groom's abandoned mansion to have a look, and then come back for lunch. The time was just right. She walked out of the wooden door of Sun's house and saw a tall man standing under the opposite wall.

"Qingyuan." Xifeng jumped over and patted him on the shoulder, "Quickly become a dragon."

Qing Yuan asked, "You want to ride me?"

"Yes." Wait, why does it feel like something is wrong? ? ? Xifeng pondered, "Go to the grove over there and change it."

"Are you going to ride me in the woods?"

In an instant, Xi Feng, who had a bunch of indescribable pictures in his mind, clenched his fists: "Don't say the word 'riding' again!"

"Oh." Qing Yuan nodded, "Let's go, Cuihua."

"... I'm not called Cuihua."

"I heard what you said in the yard." Qing Yuan took her hand and said, "Let's go, Cuihua... Hey, why are you upset, Cuihua?"

"I'll let you ride, don't be unhappy, Cuihua."

"Cuihua, do you want me to hug you?"

"Cuihua, Cuihua?"

"To shut up!"

Stupid Qinglong! Fool!

The author has something to say:

The monster riding a carp - said to be Zhuang Zhou's, at first glance is a pesticide player; said Ebisu, is it an Onmyoji player? Of course, there are people who say that koi are forwarded... Hahahahaha.

=-= But the inspiration is not from them. As a copper coin with culture [×] knowledgeable [×], the inspiration comes from "Shui Jing Note: Volume 23"—

Zhao people had a high-caliber qin, who was good at playing the qin, and he was a servant for King Kang. Beside the water, there is a house temple. If you go out on a red carp and enter the shrine, thousands of people can watch it in the Dangzhong, and it will stay in the water for more than a month.

Baidu "Qin Gao" has the original text, of course, people and stories are completely different.
