Chapter 78 I Satisfy You

As the sky darkened, shops on both sides of the street hung up red lanterns. When the breeze blew, the lanterns swayed gently, which matched the quaintness of the town and was very artistic.

There are many small stalls on both sides of the street, selling all kinds of beautiful handicrafts.

Yan Luo thought it was very beautiful and picked out a few pairs of earrings. Although they were very cheap, they were quite unique.

She carried the bag and pulled her hat down as she followed the crowd, all of whom were there to watch the wine-drinking contest to find a bride.

"This month is the Yun family, right?"

"Yes, the girls of the Yun family are pretty, so there will definitely be a lot of people competing in drinking tonight."

"I wonder who is so lucky to marry such a beautiful woman?"

"But I heard that Seventh Brother has taken a fancy to that girl. I'm afraid whoever gets the beauty will have to give her up in the end."

"I heard that Brother Qi blocked Yun An during the day, but a man rescued him. Otherwise, the wine-drinking matchmaking event tonight would have been ruined."

Yan Luo was listening to the gossip while thinking, today those thugs had said that Yu Nanchen broke the Seventh Brother's wrist, could it be that Yu Nanchen saved the girl?

Tsk!

Quite a brave guy!

Most likely it’s because she’s so beautiful!

The arena for the wine-drinking bride-picking competition was only ten minutes away from the hotel. When Yan Luo arrived, he found that the crowd was bustling, three layers deep inside and three layers deep outside.

She didn't like standing in the crowd, so she found a decorative bench outside the store opposite and sat down.

The arena was built temporarily and was about three meters high.

The four pillars on the stage were tied with red ribbons and decorated with big red flowers.

There are three layers of wine jars in front of the stage, and the aroma of wine is everywhere.

Yan Luo could smell it from a long distance away. She lowered her head to look at her arm. It was okay, the concentration was not enough to cause allergies.

"Master." Yan Luo called the old man in front of the stall, "Give me a bag of melon seeds."

"Here it is!" The old man turned around and handed her a package, and Yan Luo transferred the money to him via WeChat.

"Are you here to watch the wine-drinking bride-picking contest or do you want to join in?" the old man asked with a smile.

Yan Luo blinked, "What do you mean?"

"A young girl from another place, right?" the old man explained. "This is a matchmaking competition. It's held once a month. Girls of suitable age come here to find a husband. After the matchmaking competition is over, anyone who wants to find a husband can come on stage."

Yan Luo didn't understand, so the old man said bluntly, "If you want to find a husband, you can come on stage. If anyone likes you, come on stage and compete for drinking. Whoever wins will take you away to get married."

Yan Luo clicked his tongue, "It sounds interesting, but the method is a bit barbaric. If someone gets alcohol poisoning and dies from drinking, then a happy event will turn into a funeral."

Old man: “…”

At this time, a man about fifty years old walked onto the stage with a girl about twenty-one or twenty-two years old.

The old man said, "This is the protagonist of tonight."

The man held the microphone and said, "Hi everyone, I'm Yunfeng, and this is my daughter Yun'an. Tonight my Yun family is hosting a drinking contest to find a bride. It's still the same old rules, two bottles of wine, whoever drinks the fastest is the winner. If you finish at the same time, then we'll compete in my ancestral practice of pouring out one cup, and the one who drinks the most is the winner."

Yan Luo shook his head while eating melon seeds, "Is this how you decide your life partner? How sad!"

The old man sighed, "This is our tradition!"

"Do all girls have to marry like this?" Yan Luo asked.

"No, the daughter of the Yun family is pretty, and there are always people who want her. If we agree to any of them, we will be retaliated. So we might as well decide through a competition, so that everyone will be convinced."

Yan Luo pouted, "How sad! Marriage is free!"

Although she said so, she thought about the original owner. Wasn't she also sold to the Yu family?

Fortunately, the original owner liked Yu Nanchen, so although she felt sad, she was actually quite happy.

Just as I was thinking about it, the man on the stage read out the names on the paper.

There were a total of twenty participants, divided into two groups of ten.

The men in the first group stood in a row, rubbing their hands in anticipation. The men in the second group waited in line.

Yunfeng shouted the word "start", and the men picked up the wine jars in front of them and started drinking.

Yun An looked at the people on the stage and frowned.

She looked at the crowd anxiously, as if she was looking for someone.

Soon, someone drank half the bottle and raised his hand to give up.

Yan Luo sat there cracking melon seeds with gusto, and didn't notice the incoming call on his cell phone.

In the hotel room.

Yu Nanchen came in with a plate of dumplings, and when he saw the bathrobes piled on the bed, his eyebrows jumped for no reason.

I caught a glimpse of a note on the dressing table, so I put the plate on the table and picked up the note to read.

It said: I'm going back to Mars to relax first, and will return to Earth later, so don't look for me.

Mars?

Yu Nanchen heaved a long sigh of relief, this woman must have gone to watch the wine-drinking contest to find a bride.

He walked to the door, then turned back, put on a duck-billed cap and left. He asked along the way and found out that the place where the bride-picking ceremony was to be held was not far away, so he walked quickly towards it.

He swore that he would make sure she was punished if he caught her.

Someone, unaware of the impending danger, was leisurely eating melon seeds while enthusiastically watching and commenting on the person on the stage who had fallen down drunk.

"Tsk tsk tsk, another one went down! This won't do. There are only two people left in the first group."

The old man smiled and said, "It's not easy. The wine is made from pure grains and has a very high alcohol content."

With a "crack", the wine jar was broken into pieces.

Yunfeng announced the time for the first group of two men who drank two bottles of wine and asked them to go down and wait.

The second group came on stage and the men lined up one by one.

Yan Luo was comparing with the old man to see who had the potential to be the champion, when someone grabbed his wrist tightly.

"You are so disobedient! Huh?"

A familiar voice entered her eardrums. Yan Luo looked at the man in front of her and swallowed, "I thought it was still early."

The man approached, looking down at her.

The soft light from the lantern shone on his body. The peaked cap covered most of his face, leaving only a pair of perfect thin lips exposed.

Those were the lips that the people of the empire voted as the most kissable, because the shape and color of the lips were so perfect that they aroused great imagination.

"Why don't you answer the phone?"

Yan Luo glanced at her phone and said, "It's muted."

"I think you did it on purpose!" Yu Nanchen grabbed her wrist and tried to leave, "Come back with me."

"Wait a minute...look a little longer!"

"no!"

During the tug of war, the two people's hands seemed to be raised.

The girl on the stage suddenly had a light in her dark eyes. She hugged her father Yunfeng's arm and said, "Dad, that man saved me. He raised his hand. He must want to participate in the competition. Let him come up."

Yunfeng looked at the man and woman arguing in the audience and frowned. "Are you sure that girl has nothing to do with him?"

Yun An blinked, "If you have connections, can you take the initiative to let him sign up?"

Yunfeng naturally took a fancy to Yu Nanchen, whose appearance and height were very eye-catching. "Young man, since you have signed up, come up!"

Everyone's eyes were on the two of them, and it was too late for Yu Nanchen to retract his hand.

"I didn't sign up!" Yu Nanchen said indifferently, pulling Yan Luo away.

Yun An pursed his lips and said, "You and that girl raised your hands together."

Yan Luozheng was looking up to Jing, so naturally he didn't want to leave. "I've already registered, it would be so embarrassing for me if you don't go! The worst that can happen is that you lose!"

"Yan Luo, am I too used to you?" Yu Nanchen was filled with anger. He pulled her hand away and turned around. "Do whatever you want. You want me to find a woman, so I have to find one?"

Yan Luo was startled, she looked up at the man's bloodshot eyes, and she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, and her hands clenched unconsciously.

To be honest, she did have this thought before, but now after listening to his words, she felt mixed emotions.

"Okay! I'll satisfy you!"

Yu Nanchen walked forward with broad steps, and the crowded crowd immediately made way for him to pass.
