Ju Jingbai pointed at himself, confused: "Me?"
"Hey, Sister Qian, I've always thought you were a blessed person. I never thought our village's guardian angel would fall for you. This is such a blessing!" Aunt Song slapped her thigh, took a closer look at Ju Jingbai, and praised, "Look at your bright eyes! When you first married into our village, I thought you were such a pretty girl!"
"Yes, yes, sister Qian, you are a blessed person."
Ju Jingbai turned her head and saw several middle-aged women who had washed clothes with her by the river when she first arrived.
There was also an old woman who sat by the tree and sewed dolls with her.
At this moment, a group of people came up to her with an attitude a hundred times more enthusiastic than before, praising her appearance.
Of course, Ju Jingbai knew what Qian Minmin's face looked like. She smiled and looked at the people carrying the sedan chair through the aunts and mothers-in-law who had gathered around her.
The village chief is questioning.
"Are you sure the guardian angel is talking about Qian Minmin?"
"Of course I heard correctly. If you don't believe me, Village Chief, ask them. The guardian deity was afraid we might have made a mistake, so he repeated Qian Minmin's name three times." The young man carrying the sedan chair was also puzzled. He looked at Ju Jingbai and said, "Perhaps our guardian deity's taste has changed and is different from ours! Who can understand a deity's thoughts?!"
Orange ran down from the sedan chair in tears. Seeing her parents trotting over to greet her, she couldn't help but break down, "I told you I didn't want to come, but you forced me to come. Now, the guardian angel has sent me back, and you're happy, aren't you?! I can already imagine what you'll gossip about when you all get together in the future. Oh, that child who was sent back by the guardian angel!"
"Oh my, why does Orange talk like that? This is hurting her parents' feelings!"
"No wonder the guardian angel sent people back!"
"Juzi is pretty, but she has a bad temper. She's nothing like Minmin, who has a good temper and didn't remarry even after her husband died."
Ju Jingbai looked unhappy as he listened to the mothers-in-law talking around him.
"It's so easy for you to say that. If I send you to death and you still have such a good temper, then I really admire you." Orange was obviously irritated. Her beautiful face was full of hatred and she shouted.
"Juzi, how can you say that? We are sending you to enjoy a good life." Aunt Song was the first to refute.
"Yes, yes, Orange, don't be ungrateful. The village raised you up and made you so beautiful, isn't it just for you to repay the village?"
"Bah! You guys raised me, didn't you? You're taking credit for my parents' achievements. Aren't you ashamed? Besides, don't you know you're sending yourself to die?" Juzi looked at Ju Jingbai. "Aunt, I regretted it on the way up the mountain. I didn't want to die, not at all. So I'm glad you were sent down. You're in trouble."
After saying this, Orange lifted her skirt and ran down the mountain.
Orange's mother was a person who could not keep secrets. She was furious and chased after her while shouting, "You silly girl, when you come back, why don't you just pretend to coax Qian Minmin? After you coax her, she will go up for you. In the future, when you are in the village, everyone will say that you are sensible!"
Ju Jingbai watched the Orange family of three run away, then looked at the villagers staring at him, and said softly, "I don't want to die either."
As soon as he finished speaking, the villagers were in an uproar.
A chorus of soothing voices rang out.
Aunt Wei is Ju Zi's aunt. She was the first to pull Ju Jingbai's hand and patted it gently: "Sister Qian, our Ju Zi is always talking without thinking. Look how glorious it is to serve the guardian god. I want to go, but the guardian god doesn't want me."
"Yes, Minmin, if you go, you will be the benefactor of our entire village." Someone of the same generation came over with a child in their arms to comfort her, "Look, my baby is still so young. You can't bear to see his future ruined like this, right?"
"Then our Goudan doesn't need a future anymore?" Ju Jingbai said.
"That's different, Minmin. Sacrificing you and your dog is benefiting our entire village!" Aunt Song also began to persuade, "Just because you have taken care of you for so many years, please have some pity on us."
Ju Jingbai shook his head: "If she knew your village was such a cannibalistic place, she definitely wouldn't have married here, let alone taken care of you."
"Minmin, you can't say that. Our village is famous for its handsome men. People from all over the place want to marry here."
"A village of handsome men built on the beauty of others?" Ju Jingbai looked down on everyone in this village who benefited from it. Generation after generation of teachings had rotted them from the very roots. "Your words make me feel that everyone in your entire village is disgustingly ugly."
Ju Jingbai looked at the ferocious expressions of the people around him and snorted.
As the crowd gathered closer, she asked, "Why, are you still going to use force to tie me up on the mountain?"
"Why are you nagging her so much?" The village chief came over and snatched the dog egg from Ju Jingbai's hand. His eyes were filled with anger. "Chenchen, knock her out and take her away."
"Then go ahead and tie me up. I don't know what your guardian angel is, and I'm not sure how I'll be treated when I go up the mountain. But if I want to be better, I'll instigate your guardian angel and tell him that you're nothing. I don't know how many rounds of brainwashing he can withstand...ah..."
"Chenchen, good job..." The village chief had a lot of curse words to say but he didn't dare to say them out loud.
Chenchen looked at Qian Minmin lying on the ground, then looked at his palm. Did he hit Qian Minmin just now? Why did he feel like he didn't touch her at all?
"It's getting late. You guys should hurry up and send Qian Minmin up. Also, have a woman come and carry Goudan up together." said the village chief.
The trumpet sounded again, and the layers of farewell sounds were particularly loud in the silent night.
But this time, behind the loud noise was the panic that the villagers could not hide on their faces.
"Village chief, Qian Minmin wouldn't really say bad things about us in front of the guardian angel, right?" Aunt Song went to the village chief.
The village chief sneered: "Auntie, you don't really think that Qian Minmin will have a chance to speak after you send it up, do you?"
"That's good, that's good." A look of joy appeared on Aunt Song's face.
Ju Jingbai waited until the sedan chair bearers left, then walked out of the sedan chair. She had just pretended to be faint because she wanted to go to the top of the mountain to take a look.
The best way to deal with those selfish villagers would be to dig out the guardian deity they worship as a god and let them confront him face to face.
Then they would know what kind of monster this was. Beauty? It was worthless in the face of life.
The top of the hill is covered with strange rocks, and there are tall trees on both sides.
The weather is particularly clear tonight, and Altair and Vega are shining exceptionally brightly on the edge of the Milky Way.
Ju Jingbai stood beside the sedan chair, waiting for the guardian angel to come.
After waiting for only ten minutes, the leaves began to rustle without wind, and countless blue flames rose faintly from the jungle.
Petal by petal, they formed a large field of roses, which rushed over and fell to the ground.
Ju Jingbai was in the middle of it, as if he was instantly in a rose bush.
The melodious sound of the piano sounded, which seemed to evoke all the fantasies of beauty in people's hearts and make people smile unconsciously.
Feng Qiu Huang? Was this something the guardian deity came up with?
Ju Jingbai narrowed his eyes and looked at the male ghost walking towards him. The male ghost had broad shoulders and a thin waist, and his upper body was exposed with eight abdominal muscles. Not only that, he was holding a small lamb doll in his hand. Even though his body was blue and black, it did not affect his handsome appearance when he smiled.
"You look like...Xu Ge?"
Xu Ge untied the red hairband on the little sheep's wrist, raised his hand and wrapped the red rope around the place where Ju Jingbai tied the hairband.
"In my family, we have the custom of tying red strings during the Qiqiao Festival. It symbolizes peace, health and happiness in the new year. I heard it can also bring good luck in marriage."
"Ju Jingbai, do you agree to Xu Ge being your boyfriend?" Without waiting for Ju Jingbai to speak, Xu Ge plucked the end of the red rope and said, "You already have a good marriage now, so you can agree." As Xu Ge spoke, the blue roses on the ground swayed slightly, and the sound of the piano reached a climax, becoming more and more intense.
