On December 15th, Lu Yuan got up early.
Today may be the most important day of his life.
Early in the morning, the drummers in front of the door had already started playing their most traditional Chinese tunes, but they made people feel warm and comfortable, and the cold wind around them didn't feel so cold anymore.
Lu Yuan changed into a bright red outfit and carefully styled his hair, making him look quite presentable.
The person in charge shouted at the top of his lungs, "Lift the sedan chair!"
Immediately, eight strong young men lifted up the red silk sedan chair.
The little red sedan chair swayed gently, and Wei Xiaoshan's face was filled with happiness.
Lu Yuan, who had been waiting in front of the gate for a long time, finally saw the red sedan chair in the distance and quickly called for people to go and welcome the bride.
The family was all very happy together. Grandma and Grandpa had both changed into bright red clothes and were extremely excited.
The children whispered among themselves in the corner for a while, and then when they saw the sedan chair arrive, they rushed over, each carrying a small basket filled with rose petals.
The sedan chair came to a stop, and the matchmaker gently opened the door. Wei Xiaoshan, her head draped in a red veil, slowly stepped out, supported by the matchmaker.
Everyone on the scene clapped enthusiastically. At that moment, it was as if everyone had returned to the time before the apocalypse. They forgot the cold and hunger, and everyone's face was filled with smiles.
Lu Yuan stood in front of the door with a smile on his face. A twenty-meter-long red carpet had been prepared on the ground, with Lu Yuan and Xiao Shan holding hands at each end. Once they stepped over the carpet, they could be together legitimately from now on.
Xiao Shan saw Lu Yuan in the distance through the thin veil, and then the two slowly began to walk towards the center.
At that moment, a few little boys in the audience seized the opportunity and grabbed a handful of rose petals from the basket, throwing them into the air.
Immediately, the entire red carpet was filled with a fragrant aroma.
The wedding ceremony followed the usual procedures, and fortunately, the people Lu Yuan found were all reliable, so there were no problems in any part of the ceremony.
The host, dressed in a sharp suit, looked at Lu Yuan, Wei Xiaoshan, and the audience below the stage, and suddenly felt as if he had returned to the pre-apocalyptic world.
"Here, let us offer our sincerest blessings to this newlywed couple, wishing them a long and happy marriage and many children!"
The audience erupted in applause. Lu Yuan's family and Xiao Shan's parents sat on the stage wiping away tears. After waiting for so long, they were finally getting married.
"Please exchange rings, newlyweds!" the emcee said quietly, wiping away tears from the corners of her eyes.
Lu Yuan quickly took out the diamond ring he had prepared in advance from his pocket.
At this moment, Du Heng and Deng Yuanyuan, who were sitting in the audience, were also looking at the two people on the stage with envy.
"Sigh! Our wedding was so rushed! If only we could have waited!"
"Tch! Are you planning to get married again?"
"No, it's just that the scene reminded me of something! Sigh! Never mind, I can't stand it anymore, I'm going out for a smoke!"
As he spoke, Du Heng gently patted Deng Yuanyuan's hand, took a cigarette, and left his seat.
Squatting near the valley entrance, Du Heng took a few deep drags on his cigarette, his breath coming in gasps from the cold wind.
"Damn! It's so cold! Let's go back! The feast will probably start soon!"
Du Heng rubbed his hands together and prepared to go back when he suddenly heard the sound of a car outside the valley.
"Huh? What's going on? Someone's coming at this hour? Is he just passing by?" Du Heng turned around and glanced back.
Several vehicles were parked at the entrance of the valley, and more than a dozen people got out of the vehicles. Each person was carrying a rifle, and judging from their equipment, they should be military personnel.
Du Heng suddenly had a bad feeling.
However, looking behind him, he saw that the wedding was still going on in the tent. If he were disturbed by these people, it might leave a psychological scar on Lu Yuan.
So he quickly went over there.
"What are you doing?" Du Heng shouted at them from a distance.
However, the other party seemed to completely ignore him, striding inside, with several people behind them taking pictures everywhere.
"Who are you people? This is not your territory! Get out of here right now!" Du Heng was displeased when he saw that the other party was ignoring him, and raised his voice a few decibels.
At this moment, a hint of displeasure flashed across the face of the leading soldier.
Then he walked up to Du Heng and said in broken Chinese, "Where is your... manager? I need to... find your... manager!"
"Huh? Looking for our manager? We don't have a manager here! What are you doing here?"
The soldier nodded, and then a soldier behind him took a piece of paper out of his pocket and handed it to him.
"We are the troops from the Combined Island. We are now ordered to take stock of the entire island's population. The order here is far too chaotic, and it is necessary for us to take over!"
"What? You're taking over this place? Ha! What makes you think you can take over this place?"
The soldier patted his rifle and said, "How about this? I hope you cooperate with us. If you don't, you should know what will happen!"
"Heh! Cooperate? This isn't your territory, you have no right to manage our people!"
"I'm warning you, you better not try to test my limits, or you'll regret it! I promise!"
At that moment, a loud voice came from inside the tent.
