C27 (1/2)

At night, I kept thinking about what my father had said. What the hell was Grizzly? Not many old hunters have heard of it. Also, what the hell is that black bear we met on the tree up there? Why did you see me leave again? It's just like what Hu Yaoyao said, you're afraid that I'll break my teeth?

Forget it, I just can't understand it. If I were to escape from a bear's mouth, I'm lucky. In the future, I should be more careful on the mountain. If you throw a handful of salt inside, you won't be able to fly out. If that little fox Yao is still human, I'll tie her up and throw her into the barn.

As I was daydreaming, I saw me walking down a forest path. What was going on? I'm very familiar with the woods near home, but I've never seen anything like this before.

At the end of the road was a pair of purplish-red gates. The outside wall was two to three meters high, and from inside came the sounds of laughter, silk bamboo, and the sound of toasts being toasted.

Where is this? Although I still had some doubts, I couldn't help but walk into the courtyard. Once I entered, a long stone staircase led straight to the hall. The doors of the hall were wide open.

In front of me was a large round table with dozens of people sitting around it. They were eating and drinking merrily and the leader was a dark faced man. When he saw me enter, he said, ”We've finally arrived and are waiting for you.” Saying that, he made an empty seat by the side of my hand, allowing me to sit down.

I was about to ask where they were, who were the people sitting, and I saw a woman sitting next to the dark faced man. She had a picturesque look on her face, dressed in red, beautiful like a peach flower, and every smile and smile was filled with endless charm, it was exactly the woman that I met in the sedan with Hu Yaoyang and Hu Yaoyao that night. Today, she seemed to be even more beautiful than the past few days, and I was stunned when she saw me look at her and said to me, ”I don't know if you still remember me.” I hastily replied, ”Of course I remember. Of course I remember. It's hard to forget such a beautiful person.” I usually don't talk like this. I don't even talk much with girls at school. I don't even dare to breathe loudly when I see the female teacher. What's wrong with me today?

The woman covered her mouth and laughed. Everyone else didn't even look at our side. The dark faced big man said to me: ”You and my sister are fated to be together. It would be a pity if we couldn't be together. How old are you?” I said, ”I'm twenty this year.” The dark faced man said, ”What a coincidence, my sister is also 20 years old. How many months is your birthday?” I said, ”February 19th.” The dark faced man clapped. ”What a coincidence. My sister is also on the 19th of February.”

The black-faced man then asked, ”I haven't asked you what your name is, where you live, what your parents do, and if you're married.” I hastily replied, ”My name is Xu Wenzong. I live at the head of the Southern Sea. My family is fishing for a living, so I still haven't gotten married yet.” When the woman in red saw me flustered, she giggled again. It was so funny that I almost forgot where I was.

The dark faced man said, ”Aiya, this isn't good.” I said, ”Brother, do you feel that something is amiss? Can I just go along with you?” The dark-faced man said, ”Your family is too far away. When has my sister traveled so far? Moreover, my sister is afraid of water. Your family also wants to fish for a living. What should I do?”

Indeed, my parents had long hoped that I would be able to get married. Lotus Heart was my beloved woman, and if I didn't marry her, I would regret it for the rest of my life. What could I do? It's really complicated, but in short, as long as I marry Lotus Heart, nothing else matters.

The dark faced man said, ”How about this, after you get married, you will stay at your home for a year, and you two will come back to stay for a year. This is the most suitable way to settle things, what do you think?” I thought it was a good idea, so I quickly said, ”Alright, alright, I'll listen to my brother.” The black-faced man then asked the woman in red, ”Little sister, how about this?” Lian Xin said, ”I will listen to whatever brother says.” Saying that, he looked at me with a smile, so bright that it could be said that he was looking forward to it, causing me to be absent-minded.

Immediately, the dark faced man stood up and announced loudly, ”Everyone, today is the auspicious day for my sister and her husband. Everyone here is a witness to the wedding ceremony. Everyone will be here for three days.”

Someone dragged Lian Xin and I to the back room to dress up. After a while, two maids came out to support Lian Xin, and they saw that she had a red hair covering her face and was wearing a phoenix coronet and gown. I was wearing the attire of the groom, and we kowtowed three times to the heaven and earth to remove the veil.

Everyone came over to toast him. Lian Xin and I drank one cup after another, and Xiongan Kui ordered a dark and thin man: ”This day of great joy cannot lose its popularity. Go call for the people nearby to come and join the liveliness.” The person replied and ran out. Soon, more people arrived. There were men, women, old and young. There were monks, old and young. There were warriors with sabers, and also scholars fanning themselves. For a time, it was hard to count how many people had arrived.

After staying here for three consecutive days, the delicacies and fine wine left one after the other. It was unknown how many of them had drunk, and it was likely that even the days of deities were nothing more than that.

Three days later, Lian Xin and I bid farewell to big brother. Before leaving, big brother sent us two BMW. We rushed back to my hometown, the South China Sea.
