The mayor opened his mouth again, and he had to listen in confusion.
"At this moment, they sincerely bless the new couple. He admires our courage and will always remember the choice we made for the continuation of Gray Town. They..." The mayor's voice became stagnant at the end of his words. He was no longer as loud as before, and even before he finished speaking, he suddenly started coughing violently.
He heard the crowd commotion, worried about the mayor. The high priest walked up to the mayor and gently stroked the mayor's back with his legs. Soon, the mayor's cough eased. He noticed that the older woman was beautiful and dignified, her face always had a kind and kind expression, and her every move and every move exuded the brilliance of holiness.
Peace returned to the high platform, and the guards helped the mayor aside. The priest asked the crowd and said gently: "If the mayor is feeling slightly unwell, let him finish Cheng Dong's speech on his behalf."
No one was wrong about what the priest said, and the wedding went off smoothly. Not sure if it was an illusion or not, he noticed that the priest seemed to glance at him. At the beginning of the wedding ceremony, everyone will give their blessings to the newlyweds. He considered himself to be quite a member of Hui Town. In order to avoid being abrupt, he quietly retreated to the edge of the crowd and watched the ceremony proceed.
Precisely because he was not a bystander, he found the atmosphere of the wedding more and more strange. It was not as joyful and lively as he imagined, and everyone seemed very silent. In fact, he noticed that they, like Ling, were all hiding their sadness with smiles.
Previously, in front of everyone watching Dong, Ying and Yi left the square, and everyone dispersed one after another, leaving only Dong Ling and Di who were accompanying them. He approached them and found Ling kneeling on the ground, sobbing.
"Yifoling's brother." Di said.
He had a lot of questions, but knew now was not a good time to ask.
The residents of Gray Town gradually recovered, and Ling and Di also left. He felt dazed and tired. Maybe he could spend tomorrow sleeping, he thought.
In the dream, he returned to his hometown and danced to his heart's content in the warm sunshine. When he woke up, he suddenly felt that he would never be able to dance again in that small town.
Walking out of the room, he looked at the dim sky. It was already dusk. He actually missed the moonrise? Unknowingly, his living habits were gradually assimilated by Huizhen. He saw the residents of Gray Town, walking in one direction. And that's where the newlyweds Ying and Yi live.
The sound of wailing started to sound, and it seemed to be an uncanny sound, and an ominous premonition spread in his heart.
He rushed there and saw the weeping spirit. In the room, Ying was kneeling on the ground with a sad and quiet expression. Her eyes were shining with crystal light, and her eyes never left Yi lying in her arms. Yi's eyes were closed tightly, with a peaceful smile on his face, but his complexion looked pale.
"Yi... is dead." Di told him from the side.
Looking at everything happening in the venue, what I saw at last month's wedding came to mind, and I suddenly felt a tingling sensation in my scalp.
"We knew this would happen?" he asked shakily.
Di nodded, "That's the curse of Hui Town!"
"How could there be such a vicious curse!" He felt angry in his heart, but he didn't know who to blame for his anger, Yongwanzhebu... whom to blame for his anger.
Di didn't answer him as Yi's funeral began. The sky became darker and darker, making the atmosphere of the funeral more sad. There would be no funeral after the wedding. He thought that the saddest thing in the world would be like this. He looked at the people around him. They seemed very silent, not only expressing the sympathy of the newcomers, but also expressing the fear of the future.
What kind of curse caused such a peaceful town to be shrouded in such a shadow. His curiosity grew so intense that the silence of the funeral made him feel quite uncomfortable. Perhaps, he also felt a kind of fear subconsciously. After all, he had lived there for a while. Would the curse also fall on him? If not, then why did Dee ask him to be brought to that small town. Was he wrong or had bad intentions
No! Di would not deny such a person!
He recalled the scene when he first met him and determined that Di was a person with malicious intentions.
The curse made him think wildly, and if he didn't know the truth, God knows he would go crazy.
Fortunately, after the funeral, Di put an end to the chaotic thoughts in his mind.
"The curse has appeared since their ancestors settled here." Di adjusted his emotions and finally began to tell him the origin of the curse. "At the beginning, there was no gray town." His ancestors wandered in the forest, always guarding against the emergence of various dangers. Terrifying cannibal races, ferocious beasts, and very... those... giants wandering on the edge of the forest! "
"Giant?" He looked at Dee to make sure he wasn't joking.
Di responded to his gaze seriously and said: "Although he has never seen giants, they do exist! According to legend, their bodies are as tall as mountains and they live in castles far outside the forest. They occasionally They would appear in the forest, driving huge ferocious beasts. No race was afraid of them, including them. But suddenly one day, the priests of the tribe got in touch with the giants. They promised a safe area to them. They, allowing them to build a small town, defeats the purpose of Gray Town."
"In other words, Gray Town is a safe place protected by giants. Once they leave Gray Town, they will face all kinds of dangers that their ancestors have encountered." Di explained to him, his eyes gradually dimmed, "But No, there is a price for everything."
"Is the price... a curse?" he asked.
"No." Di's voice became deeper and he said slowly: "All newly married tribesmen will be cursed. The man will die on the second day of the wedding, and the woman will return after giving birth to offspring. Go to the land of eternal sleep.”
"That's why we rarely see old people in the town!" He came over with a smile, and then asked, "Can it be that the mayor and the priest are not young?"
Di said: "Is that because the town must be managed by someone, and there must be priests who can communicate with the giants at all times. In order to be able to be qualified for this job for a long time, they are not allowed to have partners."
He thought of the gentle and kind-hearted high priest, and could not help but feel sympathy for her.
"Isn't there a way to undo that curse?" he asked.
Di replied painfully: "If you want to live and go east, you must be alone, so the curse will never come. Most people are not willing to do that, so how can they be with cruel people? They would rather Choose sacrifice. Will Ying and Yi finally make their choice with that kind of consciousness?"
"That's terrible!" He sighed with emotion, "If you go east to live, people who were cruel to each other will not be able to be together. Once they are combined, what awaits them will be a permanent separation."
