The girl, who is already stunningly beautiful even without makeup, puts on a gorgeous dress and exquisite makeup, and her beauty even makes the 100,000 mountains in Myanmar pale in comparison.
Balu stood in front of the altar, looking at the beautiful bride walking slowly towards him, his heart pounding. His Nan Xiaoxi was really beautiful.
The traditional Burmese tube skirt highlighted her slender waist, which was barely thick enough to be held in one hand. The close-fitting and delicate little dress outlined the girl's superior curves. The full set of pure gold jewelry on her head was made by hand by the top craftsmen he hired at a high price. She was really more beautiful than the fairies in the temple murals who seduced the emperors.
"Xixi." The impatient man took two steps forward, his eyes blazing. "It's really beautiful."
The man, who has limited Chinese proficiency, could not find a suitable word to express his feelings at the moment.
Nanxi forced a smile and said, "I've never worn this kind of ethnic costume before, so I'm a little uncomfortable with it."
"You look very beautiful, Xixi. No one is prettier than you." If he hadn't been concerned about being in the temple and having so many people around, he would have wanted to hold her down and give her a couple of hard kisses.
"Yo yo yo~" Zhan Peng's ruffian voice came from behind, "Along, are you any good? Your soul has been taken away~"
Baru rarely showed any sign of not being angry. He smiled innocently and scratched the back of his head. "He's just that dog-like, a chatterbox. Don't be shy, Xixi, let's go over there."
He reached out and led his young wife to the platform, and taught her to imitate him, put her hands together to the tip of her nose, and kneel in front of the Buddha statue and the solemn master.
With palm leaves dipped in clean water and the melodious chanting of monks, this exotic wedding officially began.
It is not as complicated as you might imagine, and the people are simple and honest. Under the witness of the Buddha, the man accepts the blessings of the monks and the heaven and earth, and the ceremony is considered complete after he gives his new wife a gift.
What Balu prepared was a set of top-quality imperial green jadeite jewelry produced in his mine in Dabao. The jadeite bracelets had excellent water content and color, which were rarely circulated in the market and were collected by the mine owner himself. Even though Nanxi had seen all kinds of top-quality jewelry at auctions, he couldn't help but be shocked by Balu's wealth.
After the groom presented the gift, the master recited some scriptures, took out a pair of scissors, circled them around Nanxi's head a few times, then cut off a strand of her hair and put it into the golden container on the stage.
Afterwards, Balu unbuttoned the collar of his shirt and allowed the monk to use a dagger to cut a hole three inches below his heart and drip his blood into it.
Natu and Zhanpeng in the audience looked at each other and their faces suddenly became serious.
Nanxi didn't know what this ancient ritual meant, he just felt it was weird, especially when the monks suddenly started chanting around the container, and the red flames around it flashed with strange light.
More than ten minutes later, the chanting stopped, and the black hair and blood in the container were sealed in several round beads made of transparent amber. The monk handed the most crystal clear one to Balu. She could not understand what the monk said, but just watched Balu salute respectfully, and then kept the thing close to her body.
After the wedding, it was the local traditional Luoqi Festival. Nanxi changed into comfortable clothes and celebrated the festival with them.
Young and energetic guys have no place to vent their energy, so they just fight when they get together.
The members of the Birds of Prey had a rare day off because their leader was getting married. More than a dozen of them gathered together to challenge today's groom. Baru was in a good mood and promised that whoever could beat him would be rewarded with a set of top-notch military equipment worth three million US dollars. All his men shouted with excitement.
The girls were not interested in watching a group of men fighting, so Yana and Nanxi hid aside to eat.
"Nana, are you okay? I'm sorry, I've implicated you. I didn't expect Baru to do this to you." Nanxi held Yana's hand, her eyes full of guilt.
"I'm fine." Yana shook her head. "It was a blessing in disguise. I had a fever that day and cried a lot. Zhan Peng promised me that when I got better and got married, he would take me home to see him."
Nanxi frowned when she heard that. "Marry? Will you marry him?"
"I'm just like you, Xixi. I have no choice. Zhan Peng may appear cynical on the surface, but deep down he's just like Balu, equally strong and overbearing.
If I refuse, with his ruthless methods, he might go to Thailand and harm my family. I don't dare, I'm afraid. Xixi, I don't know what to do except listen to him."
Yana lowered her head, rubbed the edge of her skirt with her slender fingers, and tried her best to restrain herself from crying.
"Xixi, is Balu nice to you? Will he hit you? I feel that he has a very bad temper. I am really worried that he will hit you." After a while, Yana looked up and looked at the overly beautiful girl in front of her with concern.
Zhan Peng at least said sweet words to her, coaxed her, and went along with her. As long as she didn't offend him, he could be considered a considerate man. But Baru, on the other hand, was cold, irritable, and moody. Such a man was not suitable to be a husband at all.
Nanxi was stunned, with confusion in her eyes.
She had never thought about having anything to do with that man, so naturally she wouldn't think about whether it was good or not. When Yana asked her this, she suddenly didn't know how to define it.
"He is very conflicted." Nanxi lowered her head and spoke softly, as if she was really thinking about this problem seriously.
"He never hit me, but he wasn't gentle either. He was fierce and sometimes even annoying. He would deliberately make me angry, and when he made me angry he would laugh. He had a bad taste.
But he also takes care of my life, although he is a little rough. He will wash all my clothes until they are wrinkled, and even wash my underwear and coats together.
I can't define him simply by the standards of good or bad. Before you asked, I had never even thought about this question. "
"So do you like him?" Yana asked angrily again, "After all, judging purely by his looks, Baru is really handsome, the kind of cool, handsome guy that many girls would like."
Nanxi smiled bitterly and pinched Yana's nose. "Zhan Peng is also very handsome, but will you like him?"
"But Xixi, you're married to him..."
"It doesn't count!" A hint of indifference flashed across Nanxi's eyes. "In China, to get married, you need three matchmakers and six betrothals, you need to report to the ancestors, bow to the earth, and have parents and relatives as witnesses. Only then can it be considered a marriage. What happened between me and Balu was at most a strange ceremony, not a marriage at all. Our Chinese law only recognizes marriage certificates. I was nineteen and he was only eighteen, not even the legal age for marriage.
When I return to China, I will forget everything that happened here and treat it as a nightmare. No one will know that a strange wedding that went wrong one after another took place here."
The knuckles of Nanxi's fingers placed on her legs turned white.
As long as she returns to China, no one can threaten her. If Baru dares to do anything wrong, she will call the police and have them arrest him.
The innocent girl was not alert at all, and no one noticed that not far away, a "monk" with a vicious face who obviously did not look like a monk was taking pictures in this direction with his mobile phone.
