Chapter 1
"Hurry up and get up. The bride's reception will be here soon. Don't sleep any more."
Lu Xiaobai heard someone making noise in his ear in a daze, and thought it was his nanny calling him to get up. He turned his head away impatiently, wanting to sleep a little longer.
But just as he turned his head, someone pinched his arm. The pain woke him up immediately, and tears fell as he opened his eyes. However, he did not see anyone, but a red area in front of him, as if a curtain was covering his head.
He was stunned for a moment, then slowly reached out and touched the red thing, and it was indeed a piece of red cloth.
He pulled hard and the cloth fell off. The scene in the room completely surprised him: "What, what's going on?"
This was a world away from his luxurious villa, with earthen walls and wooden pillars, and a black stone floor. He was sitting at an octagonal table with two red candles on it, and beside him was a ferocious-looking middle-aged woman!
When the woman saw him pull off the veil, she quickly ran over and took the veil to cover his head: "You ignorant boy, why are you lifting the veil? This is for your husband to lift. Cover it quickly."
Lu Xiaobai was frightened and leaned back to avoid the woman's veil. He stood up in panic and tried to run. His voice was filled with tears. He asked as he ran, "What are you talking about? What about husband's veil? What about brother? I don't understand. I want to go home..."
Lu Xiaobai seriously suspected that he had been abducted and sold to a poor mountainous area, but he was clearly at home before he went to bed. Who was so bold as to go to his home and abduct him?
Lu Xiaobai wanted to go home, but as a spoiled young master, he could not run away from a rural woman who had been working for a long time, so he was caught before he even left the room.
The other party was furious and anxious and yelled: "Why are you running away? Although Xiao He is from another place, he is rich. He paid five taels of silver for the betrothal gift alone. Moreover, everyone in his family is strong. If you marry him, you won't even have to work. Don't be ungrateful!"
Just as the woman finished speaking, two strong men came in from outside the door. Lu Xiaobai was so scared that he trembled with fear and didn't dare to run. He could only sit obediently on the stool, covered with the veil, and listened to the woman's complaints.
Maybe it was because he was too scared, but Lu Xiaobai felt dizzy and many memories that didn't belong to him came to his mind. Based on what the woman said, he finally figured out the whole story.
He was not abducted, but traveled through time.
This was a place he had never heard of. Not only was it poor and miserable, but the people were also divided into three types: women, men, and boys.
Although the boy looks like a man, he has a delicate and slender figure, a red mole on his forehead, and can give birth to children like a woman.
Unfortunately, Lu Xiaobai has traveled through time and space and become a boy. His parents are both dead, and he is helpless and bullied.
Now, because a family from outside the area wants to live in Lujia Village, but Lujia Village is worried that these outsiders will not be devoted to the village, so they have a mandatory requirement that they can only settle down if they marry a boy from the Lu family.
The Lu family had no idea of the outsiders' personalities and were afraid that their children would be bullied, so they sold Lu Xiaobai, the orphan.
The original owner didn't want to get married and her medicine ran out, so Lu Xiaobai came.
Lu Xiaobai, who understood the truth, was so scared that he burst into tears, and even the rouge that the village lady had applied on him was smudged by his tears. If it weren't for the veil covering it, he would have been scolded again.
But now Lu Xiaobai had no choice but to cry. Whether he accepted it or not, he had traveled through time and space, and he couldn't find a way to go home.
Moreover, he could not escape from this mountain village, because even if he escaped from the village, he could not find a way to leave, or even if he found a way, he would not have enough food and physical strength to support him to leave.
What's more, he didn't know if there were any bad people or beasts on the road, so he couldn't even run away and could only marry the outsider.
Soon, the bride-picking party arrived.
It was nothing like the tall horses and sedan chairs carried by eight people that he had seen on TV. It was just a stick with a red flower hanging on it that led him from the beginning to the end of the village.
Lu Xiaobai cried all the way he walked. Fortunately, the people behind him played music and music to cover up his crying so that no one around him could hear it.
It was not until the man took him into a small courtyard that the people with music and dance asked for the wedding money and left.
Lu Xiaobai had been crying for too long and suddenly stopped, hiccuping instantly. He was so scared that he stopped in his tracks and didn't dare to move forward.
