Chapter 67
"What will happen if the card game's mandatory tasks cannot be completed?"
Yitu looked at Jiang Hanyu and frowned slightly.
The man's handsome face was shrouded in darkness and could not be seen clearly.
"Then play it again."
Hearing this answer which was almost the same as what he expected, Yitu felt a little complicated.
This person is still the same as before. In the eyes of others, this is a game of life and death, but in his eyes, it is just a game.
A game that he said he could play again, and he could play again.
Song Jingchen looked at the strange atmosphere between the two of them, wanted to say something, but fell silent again.
He doesn't want to play it all over again; it would be too painful.
After returning to the yard, Song Jingchen went back to his room.
Yi Tu and Jiang Hanyu also washed up briefly and tried to sleep as long as they could before dawn.
After getting into bed, Yitu tried to lean against the wall as much as possible to avoid touching Jiang Hanyu.
His body was very cold, like a natural ice cellar, and the man knew it.
However, after Jiang Hanyu got on the bed, their shoulders were still touching.
The familiar warmth spread little by little. Yitu shrank his head and felt pretty good.
"Are you planning to attend tomorrow's wedding?" The man's low voice came calmly.
Yitu opened his eyes but did not directly answer his question.
"There are two people missing from the wedding, and only players can fill in."
"So you want to be one of them?" Jiang Hanyu chuckled, his meaning unclear.
"You are the most innocent and lovely person I have ever met."
Hearing this, Yi Tu turned around and their eyes met.
"Then what do you think I should do?"
Jiang Hanyu placed his right hand on Yi Tu's head, his brown eyes showing little emotion.
"What does any decision you make have to do with me?"
Yitu was stunned, then suddenly laughed.
"Yeah, since any decision I make has nothing to do with you, why bother asking."
Now it was the man's turn to be speechless.
He is not a nosy person. In fact, Jiang Hanyu never preaches to anyone. Watching from the sidelines is his way of dealing with things and also an attitude.
What's more, he has seen all kinds of players in the game, including newcomers like Yitu, but he has never stayed.
But this time, after asking an unnecessary question, he pretended to be hard-hearted, which made his attempt to cover up the truth even more obvious.
"In the game, you can't always be a good person." Jiang Hanyu looked into Yi Tu's eyes and said softly.
"You understand me?"
Yitu nodded. He naturally knew what the man meant.
Saving people is not always the first choice. It's not that he doesn't understand that protecting himself is the most important thing, but Yi Tu still retains the most basic moral concepts.
"You are younger than me, right?" Yitu suddenly asked.
Jiang Hanyu raised his eyebrows slightly, not knowing what he wanted to say.
"how?"
Yi Tu remembered that Jiang Hanyu was younger than him. He was twenty-six, while Jiang Hanyu was only twenty-four.
"Xiao Jiang, I want to discuss something with you."
"Xiao, Jiang?" The man raised his thin lips slightly, revealing a playful smile.
"Hanyu." Yi Tu changed his name.
When he called Jiang Hanyu's name in a cold voice, the man's heart trembled slightly, and he subconsciously said "hmm".
"In this card room, the person I trust the most is you."
"It's just you."
Looking at Yitu's eyes that were like cold stars, is he really so easy to fool?
"Speak human language."
Hearing Jiang Hanyu's words, Yitu chuckled and said:
"I'll ask you a favor."
--
The next morning, just after dawn, the footsteps of servants could be heard frequently outside the house, all of them busy preparing for the wedding.
Yitu was not sleeping soundly and woke up when he heard the noise.
Jiang Hanyu woke up earlier than him. After they got up and opened the door, the entire Du family was dyed red, although it was just a heavy red.
The windows were covered with happy characters, and a long carpet stretched all the way to Mrs. Wang's yard.
If nothing unexpected happened, Du Jinyu's body was sent there and she was changed and made up inside.
Yi Tu was just about to go over and take a look when Hai Ling and Hui Yin just came back from outside. It seemed that they had just come out of Mrs. Wang's yard.
"how?"
Hai Ling shook her head. "Du Jinyu's body has already started to stink. We can't wait much longer."
"The Du family is looking for someone to hold the wedding sign for the groom."
Yitu wasn't surprised to hear his answer.
"With so many people in the Du family, isn't there anyone willing?"
Hai Ling narrowed her eyes slightly, "No, that's not the question."
Yitu frowned, then immediately understood the problem.
It’s not that there is no one to hold the cards. Even if Du Jinyu’s relatives are afraid of death, money can buy a servant who is willing to hold the cards.
But so what? Holding the cards was completed, but it did not mean that their mandatory task was completed.
The mandatory task column has not changed at all and is still at the original (2/4) status.
"You tell me..." Hai Ling smiled slightly, "Who is the most suitable scapegoat?"
Yitu also laughed, "Have you ever considered waiting to die together as an option?"
No one wanted to hold the cards. After the wedding was over, they could immediately make their own coffins.
The corner of Hai Ling's mouth twitched, "You are so humorous."
Yi Tu gladly accepted his compliment, and too lazy to talk to him anymore, so he turned around and went to find Jiang Hanyu.
The man had already gone to the Dong family's place. The Dong family's house was also full of joy. However, unlike the Du family's, there was no one in the huge yard. It was a little too deserted.
"Aren't these two weddings held in different halls?" Song Jingchen asked curiously as he saw that the Du family and the Dong family had each decorated their own auditoriums.
Yitu nodded, "Master Du doesn't allow them to live together. I'm afraid he learned something from Madam Wang."
"but...."
"But I asked Mr. Du about the funeral procession after the ceremony, and they are still in the same place."
Song Jingchen sighed, "This can be considered a perfect ending. Even though things have come to this point, we still have to consider the family's reputation."
Yi Tu didn't say anything after hearing this, and Song Jingchen didn't realize why Yi Tu asked Mr. Du where the funeral was.
They went back and forth between the Dong family and the Du family. No one wanted to be the groom holding the wedding card, so they were all waiting patiently.
After seeing Dong Haoyue's red makeup, Yitu went back to the Du family alone to see how Du Jinyu got married.
However, before they reached Mrs. Wang's yard, a girl from an unknown family in the front yard was standing in front of the door, wearing red and sobbing.
Her mother hurried out of the house and shouted with a sullen look on her face:
"Ying'er, what the hell are you doing? Come in and change out of this red dress! Do you know what day it is today?"
"I know, I know!" The woman cried breathlessly, "Today is the wedding day of Brother Shao and that blind bastard Du Jinyu!"
"But why? Why is she still holding on to Brother Shao even though she's dead?"
The more Ying'er spoke, the more hatred appeared on her face. "If it weren't for her, Brother Shao wouldn't have died!"
"He clearly agreed to marry me... He said he could take me home! What's more, I already have..."
The woman's face suddenly changed. Before Ying'er could finish her words, she covered her mouth tightly and dragged her into the house no matter how she struggled.
Yitu stood quietly at the corner and listened for a while, and he understood what the woman had not finished saying.
Ying'er is pregnant with Shao Feng's child.
It turned out that while Shao Feng was entangled with Du Jinyu, he was also entangled with other women.
He even had sex with the woman first and promised to take her home.
Yi Tu had long known that Shao Feng was a scumbag. He was just surprised by how Ying'er addressed Du Jinyu.
She said Du Jinyu was a blind man...
If Du Jinyu was blind during her lifetime, would she still be able to see after her death?
If you couldn't see him, would you mistake him for Dong Haoyue?
A strange look appeared on Yitu's face. He didn't look like Dong Haoyue.
Unless Du Jinyu relied on voice, smell, or footsteps to identify a person, then he might just happen to have something in common with Dong Haoyue, which led to Du Jinyu's repeated entanglement.
He thought so, but he was not sure in his heart.
Maybe it has something to do with the color of the ID card.
He always remembered that in the village festival card field, Zhao Haichuan once said that if there was a player with a heart identity card in the heart card field, it would be much easier to pass the level.
Could this be the reason?
Yitu was thinking about this when suddenly a prompt popped up on the game panel in front of him.
[Warning: The candidates for the Red Wedding, the mandatory quest, have not yet been confirmed! Please confirm your participation as soon as possible, otherwise the mandatory quest will not be completed and will be considered a level failure!]
To be added? Has the candidate been confirmed? Yitu frowned.
He didn't have time to go to Mrs. Wang's yard again. He had to quickly meet up with the others to find out who was chosen to replace the groom to attend the wedding.
By the time Yitu returned to the yard, everyone else had already returned.
They were standing in the yard, and when they saw Yi Tu coming back, they all looked at him.
Except for Song Jingchen and Jiang Hanyu, there was no panic on the faces of others.
Yitu immediately had a guess in his mind.
Hai Ling smiled and spoke first:
"Why did you come back so late? Go back to your room and take a look. Maybe there will be a surprise."
Yitu glanced at him and turned back to his room.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw Jiang Hanyu carrying him on his back, fiddling with something.
After hearing the noise, the man said:
"Let's try it."
He turned around and held in his hand a beautifully crafted groom's suit.
The moment Yi Tu saw it, there was no trace of surprise on his face.
He had anticipated this outcome and stepped forward to ask:
"Who sent it? Is it the right size?"
"Who else could it be?" Jiang Hanyu said with a half-smile, "Of course it was sent by your ghost bride."
He pulled Yitu's arm and pulled her over, and one hand was able to wrap around the person's slender waist.
"Ah, it's the perfect size."
Jiang Hanyu did not let go of the hand that was around Yi Tu's waist, while his other hand went around to the front and unbuttoned his shirt.
"If you hadn't slept with me every night, I would have suspected that you were doing something behind my back."
"How else would that thing know your size?"
Yitu endured it again and again, but he really couldn't stand this person's prank on a whim.
She slapped the man's hand away and laughed:
"I didn't expect you to be this capable. You must have hugged and embraced women's waists many times."
Jiang Hanyu raised his eyebrows slightly and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"You really wronged me, darling."
"I've only hugged you, so of course I remember it clearly."
Yitu choked, he really couldn't stand this man's deliberate teasing.
"Okay, okay, you go out, I'm going to change clothes."
Jiang Hanyu then stopped smiling. He did not leave immediately, but asked:
"Can you do it alone?"
"I can do it." Yitu nodded, and suddenly thought of something and asked:
"Who is the other player who will replace the groom?"
Jiang Hanyu: "It's Xiao Song."
"His player ranking was last, and the system selected him."
Yitu couldn't help but frown, "Then..."
Jiang Hanyu knew what he was going to ask, so he had to shake his head and say:
"Don't worry about him, you just need to protect yourself now."
Yi Tu nodded. Song Jingchen had quite a few props and skill cards on him. After all, he had been with Huashan for a while.
After Jiang Hanyu left, Yi Tu looked at the beautifully crafted wedding dress with a slightly complicated mood.
Who would have thought that the first time he wore wedding clothes was in a game.
When the door opened again, Jiang Hanyu turned around and looked, his expression slightly stunned.
"It fits perfectly." The man said in a deep voice.
The red color makes the person's fair skin even brighter, and the coldness between his eyebrows adds a different temperament.
What's more, Yi Tu is tall, and the tight-fitting wedding dress just outlines his slender waist, making him look as beautiful as a jade.
At this moment, a prompt popped up on everyone's game panel.
[The number of participants in this card game's mandatory quest, Red Wedding, has been refreshed. Please work hard to complete the quest!]
[The status of this mandatory mission (4/4) is 73% of the story progress, and the conditions for house number refresh have not yet been met. Please keep up the good work! ]
