"She's dressed like this to kill a chicken?" Yu Xiaoxiao was surprised when she saw the girl standing with the boy holding the rooster. Killing a chicken doesn't need such a big scene, right?
Gu Xinglang saw the truth and asked Dong Dan, "Where is the groom?"
Dongdan was obviously indifferent to the girl and simply said, "Dead."
Gu Xing nodded in understanding. In Fengtian, there were also ghost marriages.
Yu Xiaoxiao didn't understand what was going on. The groom was dead, so who was the bride going to marry? "She," Yu Xiaoxiao pointed at the bride and asked Gu Xinglang, "She's going to marry a dead man?"
Gu Xinglang nodded.
Yu Xiaoxiao..., a living person marries a dead person? Let's not talk about the big principles, can a person who is alive and dead roll in the sheets?
Gu Xinglang said: "From the look of her, she did it voluntarily."
Yu Xiaoxiao looked at the bride wearing all the jewelry, curled her lips and said, "You were forced to do this, right?"
Gu Xinglang patted Yu Xiaoxiao's hands. They couldn't do anything about this kind of thing.
Yu Xiaoxiao was mumbling to Gu Xinglang when the drummers standing in the four corners of the courtyard struck the drums again. Amid the drumbeats, more than twenty people wearing tall crowns and ghost masks on their faces filed into the courtyard from the corner gate.
Yu Xiaoxiao didn't need to ask Dong Dan or Ah Sheng who these people were. She had seen the clothes they were wearing once in Chiyang Village. These people were the priests of the Miao land. With the experience of Chiyan Village, Yu Xiaoxiao immediately became nervous when she saw these priests. Did they want to use people as sacrifices again?
The priests entered the courtyard and surrounded the girl and the little boy holding the rooster.
"What do they want to do?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked A Sheng in a somewhat vicious tone.
Ah Sheng said, "They want to invite the soul."
Yu Xiaoxiao tilted her head towards Ah Sheng and said, "Tell me again, what are you asking for?"
Ah Sheng said, "To invite the souls is to invite the dead young masters in the village to come up."
Yu Xiaoxiao was hurt to hear this. Bringing the dead up? Taking the elevator up from underground? Even an evolved human being would not do such a thing!
The high priest raised his hands to the sky and began to chant loudly.
Yu Xiaoxiao said to Gu Xinglang: "Xiao Gu, can you understand what he is shouting?"
Gu Xinglang..., he doesn’t understand Miao dialect, can he understand the Miao dialect that is sung?
"I don't understand a word you say," Yu Xiaoxiao said to herself without Gu Xinglang replying.
Gu Xinglang was not interested in watching this kind of ceremony, and whispered to Yu Xiaoxiao: "Dongdan doesn't want to tell me about Jinye."
Yu Xiao: "Could it be that he doesn't know?"
Gu Xinglang shook his head and said, "I don't think he looks like that."
"We'll interrogate him later," Yu Xiaoxiao fixed her eyes on Dong Dan when she heard what Gu Xinglang said. "If he doesn't talk, we'll beat him until he talks!"
Gu Xinglang was about to continue talking to his wife when the high priest's chanting stopped.
The young couple looked at the high priest again. They didn't see the other two people, but they saw the fire in the brazier suddenly jump and the flames instantly grew bigger.
"Oh my god," Yu Xiaoxiao also jumped. Was the dead invited up here? Didn't she see that the old man was pouring fuel on the fire? (==)
The little boy holding the rooster was startled by the sudden enlargement of the torch and his grip loosened.
As soon as the restraints on its body were loosened, the rooster jumped out of the little boy's hands.
“Ahh—”
"ah--
"The chicken ran away!"
…
When they saw the rooster fall to the ground, everyone in the yard screamed in surprise.
Yu Xiaoxiao couldn't understand this scene. Was there something big happening?
Everyone screamed, but no one tried to catch the chicken.
Yu Xiaoxiao pulled Gu Xinglang's sleeve, wanting to laugh, and said, "What's going on?"
Gu Xinglang said: "I don't know, is it bad for the rooster to land?"
Seeing that her own Xiao Gu didn't know either, Yu Xiaoxiao looked at Ah Sheng again and said, "Don't people here know how to catch chickens?" If they can't, she doesn't mind helping out.
Ah Sheng opened his mouth to speak, but immediately looked behind Yu Xiaoxiao with a look of fear on his face.
Yu Xiaoxiao also heard some movement behind her. She turned around and saw the big rooster standing on the table, looking at her.
The people at the same table, including Dongdan, jumped up from their benches and ran back.
Yu Xiaoxiao and Gu Xinglang were the only ones sitting at the large square table.
The rooster just stared at Yu Xiaoxiao with its bean-sized eyes, without moving or calling out.
Yu Xiaoxiao said to Gu Xinglang: "What does this chicken want to do?"
Gu Xinglang waved his hands to chase the chickens away.
Ah Sheng yelled, "No!"
Ah Sheng's voice was too panicked, so Gu Xinglang stopped.
"Cock, cluck," the rooster crowed at Yu Xiaoxiao.
Yu Xiaoxiao heard a sound of gasps all around her.
"What's going on?" Gu Xinglang turned around and asked Ah Sheng who was standing far away.
Ah Sheng stuttered as he spoke to Gu Xinglang, and out of nervousness he used the Miao dialect directly, so Young Master Gu didn't understand a word he said.
Yu Xiaoxiao instinctively looked towards the wooden stage at this time, and saw the white-haired man sitting at the main table staring at her. She squinted her eyes and looked at the man's pupils, and found that there was only the image of the rooster in front of her in his pupils. Then she looked at the other people on the wooden stage, and no one was staring at the rooster.
"Xiao Gu, there's something wrong with that white-haired man," Yu Xiaoxiao said to Gu Xinglang.
Gu Xinglang immediately turned his head and looked at the wooden platform.
The great witch on the wooden platform saw that the two were staring at him, and raised his hand towards the young couple.
Oh shit!
Yu Xiaoxiao knew something was going to happen!
The rooster suddenly flapped its wings, crowed loudly, and rushed towards Yu Xiaoxiao.
How could Yu Xiaoxiao let a chicken peck her? She reached out and grabbed the rooster. Instinctively, she twisted her hand and broke the rooster's neck effortlessly.
The courtyard fell into deathly silence.
Gu Xinglang put his hand on the handle of the knife.
Yu Xiaoxiao threw the rooster at her feet and said to Gu Xinglang, "Take it home and roast it."
Gu Xinglang said: "It seems that this chicken should not be killed."
"What?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked.
A woman's loud crying sounded on the wooden platform. As the woman cried loudly, the whole yard was filled with crying sounds.
Yu Xiaoxiao stood up from the bench. She just killed a chicken. There was no need for these people to be so sad, right?
Gu Xinglang protected Yu Xiaoxiao behind him, and Gu Sanshao didn't look at anyone else, just stared at the white-haired man on the wooden platform.
"What should we do now?" Several men from Ruyun Village asked Dongdan at the same time.
The chief priest of Baishui Village had already summoned the souls, and the souls were attached to the rooster. Yu Xiaoxiao killed the rooster, which was equivalent to letting the soul of the young master of Baishui Village fly away and never reincarnate. Dongdan understood that this time the hatred was great.
The leader of Baishui Village pointed at Yu Xiaoxiao and shouted, "Kill her!"
At the order from the leader, the people of Baishui Village rushed towards Yu Xiaoxiao and Gu Xinglang from all directions.
Yu Xiaoxiao... She just killed a chicken. Do you have to use such a big fuss to deal with her?
