He had done his best, but in the end, the second brother still couldn't escape the fate of being eaten. However, now that he's gotten to know everyone, he feels much more at ease in the village.
Yamaki and his friends were all true city kids, and had never seen a pig slaughter before. They were all incredibly excited, but at the same time, it was the first time they had ever witnessed such a bloody scene in real life.
Pork tastes delicious, but it's really heartbreaking to slaughter a pig.
Wenqing held three e-cigarettes and faced east, chanting the Rebirth Mantra while bowing.
"Namo Amitabha Buddha, Tathagata Buddha, Tadyatha..."
"Dude, are you kidding me? You were the one eating the most when it was served, and you had the most requests: spicy, stir-fried, barbecue... and now you're doing this?"
After finishing his prayers, the literary youth put away his e-cigarette and scratched his head sheepishly, saying, "Since we're going to eat their food anyway, we should do some good deeds beforehand and perform some rites to help them pass on to the afterlife."
He was somewhat kind, but not much. Looking at the clear naiveté in Wenqing's eyes, Li Sheng immediately recognized his identity: "You're a college student doing an internship, right? Or you've just started working recently."
Wenqing looked surprised: "What? Yewang can tell fortunes? How do you know? I don't remember anyone telling you. Could you please tell me when I will become rich and powerful?"
As expected, they are people who have never experienced social friction; their words and actions are so innocent and naive.
Li patted the young man's shoulder reassuringly: "Your eyes tell me they are clear and bright, revealing innocence and kindness."
When praised by someone older than himself, Wenqing blushed with a boyish shyness: "There's no need to praise me so directly. Everyone says I'm pretty, but Brother Sheng is the first to compliment my eyes."
Li Sheng: ...
Somewhat speechless, she looked at the young man before her; what an innocent and naive boy.
Yet, I also feel a pang of nostalgia for my youth, and perhaps many years from now, I'll find myself so embarrassed by certain scenes that I'll scratch my toes.
Sang Sang told everyone that they would be leaving the next day, and the night became exceptionally lively, even more so than that absurd wedding.
Everyone in the village put on their new clothes, which were only worn during festivals. The women wore handmade cloth flowers in their hair, and the whole village came alive on this night.
A tall bonfire rose in the open space, illuminating the entire village. Tables were set up together, displaying not only delicious food but also fine wines they had brewed from their cellars.
Ada took out a jar with a red paper sticker on it that read "Daughter's Red Wine." It was brewed by him when Sangsang was very young. He brewed ten jars of it, and it was very precious. He moved it out on the day of the wedding, but the wedding didn't go through, so he moved it back. Although today is not Sangsang's wedding, it is still worthy of such good wine.
Ada generously brought out a jar from the cellar and insisted that Li Sheng and the others drink it.
The wine was somewhat cloudy, and its taste was only so-so, but Li Sheng and the others cherished it very much, not spilling a single drop. The value of this Daughter's Red wine lay not in the wine itself, but in the affection that the brewer held for his daughter.
Sangsang's parents left when she was young, and she was raised by Ada. The affection Ada has for his granddaughter over the years is more precious than any wine. The fact that he is willing to take it out as their farewell wine shows how deep his feelings are for them.
Young people may sometimes be a bit irresponsible in their speech, but they understand certain things in their hearts. When faced with toasts from Grandpa Ada and the villagers, the four of them put away their usual irresponsibility and respectfully returned the toasts.
Sangsang also changed into festive clothes, which were embroidered with patterns unique to them. She split her braid into two and put on the headdress that symbolized the village chief's status. With all her courage, she walked up to Li Sheng, extended her hand, and invited him to dance around the bonfire together.
Sangsang looked exceptionally beautiful tonight. As someone who had been through it all, how could he not understand the girl's feelings? But he couldn't bear to see disappointment and loneliness on her face, so he agreed almost against his will.
Sang Sang is such a smart girl, she must understand what he means. Since he's leaving anyway, she mustered up the courage to do this because she didn't want to have any regrets.
Li Sheng couldn't understand what everyone was singing. The dance was very simple, and everyone, from the elderly to children, could dance it and participate, so it was very lively.
Yamaki hugged the milk ball, buried his face in the few little yellow hairs on the top of the milk ball's head, and sucked hard.
He is one of the "cloud dads" of the milk group. After craving it for so long in the live stream, he finally had the chance to suck it to his heart's content. It smells so good, so milky.
I wish he could have such a smart and lovely daughter someday. It would be better if his son was sent out to work in a factory to tighten screws and become self-reliant as soon as he was born.
Wenqing quietly reminded him from the side, "You've never even had a girlfriend, so where did you get the idea for a child?"
Yamaki:......
To poke at someone's sore spot at a time like this, be careful he doesn't get a permanent position after his internship.
The other person quietly distanced themselves from Yamaki; their team leader turned out to be a hidden psychopath.
Milkball was refusing. Why was there a big pig nudging her? But she couldn't call him "Dad." Although Sister Sangsang couldn't be her stepmother, Sister Sangsang was always so good to her, and she couldn't ruin Sister Sangsang's good plans.
Life is tough, even a baby sighs.
The party didn't end until the campfire died down late at night. When Li Sheng woke up the next day, he found a lot of people gathered in the house, along with a chair.
Sangsang stepped forward and explained, "You're injured, and the road is difficult to walk on. Sit down, and the uncles and elders will carry you."
Similarly, Li Sheng was not given any chance to refuse; he was determined to refuse.
Sang Sang solemnly conveyed everyone's message: if Li Sheng refused their kindness, he would be locked in the pigsty to eat and sleep with the pigs until he agreed.
Li Sheng thought they were just trying to scare him.
He was wrong in the end, and finally gave in at the last second before being locked in the pigpen.
The wild version of "The Domineering CEO Falls in Love with Me" - "The Domineering Villager Falls in Love with Me".
Li Sheng couldn't help but wonder, how could they possibly carry him down such a rugged mountain path, which was difficult enough for him to walk on? What if he slipped and slid all the way down the mountain?
With dry rations in hand, Sangsang carried the milk ball at the front, leading the way. He walked in the middle on a chair, while Shanmu and the other two brought up the rear. A smooth journey was impossible, and they swayed and trembled with fear the whole way.
Ada and the villagers watched him leave at the village entrance. After a long time, when Li Sheng turned around again, that dark figure was still standing at the village entrance.
Several times he tried to say that he could get down and walk by himself, but was always refuted by the fierce-looking man.
In the end, Yamaki even advised Li Sheng not to resist.
"This is a blessing you deserve."
I'm very grateful, but he really wants to walk by himself.
After a journey of seven or eight hours, he finally arrived in the town in the afternoon. As he expected, the town was also very backward. Apart from the main road, which was a potholed cement road, the rest of the small roads were dirt roads. However, at least there was electricity, internet, and signal.
When they reached the main road, Sangsang and the others stopped, and Li Sheng was also put down. Sangsang's eyes filled with tears again: "We'll take you this far. Brother Sheng, will I ever have a chance to see you again?"
Li Sheng used his index finger to wipe away the tears on Sang Sang's face.
"Trains, high-speed rail, airplanes, distance is never a problem. If one day you tell me you want to come, as old friends, Milk Group and I will definitely welcome you in the most enthusiastic way, take you to see movies, Ferris wheels, zoos, and buy you ice cream cones, just like you are bringing out the best things to treat us."
Sangsang looked at the man in front of her with reluctance. Even his words of rejection were spoken so gently. She tried her best to hold back her tears and force a bright smile. She took out the things she had prepared beforehand from her bosom.
Her final outrageous act was to pin a silk gardenia flower she had made to Li Sheng's ear.
Before Li Sheng could react, he ran away as fast as he could.
He stopped a few dozen meters away and turned around: "Mr. Li, I will come to see you, as a friend."
Li Sheng opened his mouth and whispered "okay." He didn't know if Sang Sang heard him, but she was still smiling in the sunlight not far away, a romantic smile, like a wildflower blooming in the mountains.
Mr. Li took it off his ear; it was a very delicate piece of craftsmanship, a pure white gardenia.
He remembered that the meaning of gardenias is eternal love.
