Chapter 29
After the banquet, it was soon evening.
Lin Zhongtian held his breath at the banquet in the daytime. Lin Qingshuang was humiliated in public and was still making a fuss. He didn't come to the ceremony at all, and it was his captain of the guards who came on his behalf.
The whole wedding was very weird, with an atmosphere of forced buying and selling. It was impossible to hold a grand wedding. Lin Zhongtian wished that as few people knew about it as possible.
In order to avoid any accidents, Lin Qinghen did not even leave the courtyard. He was dressed in a very perfunctory red dress and covered with a red gauze veil, and then pushed out of the room to the middle of the courtyard.
The people from the Yin family were standing outside, and none of them looked good.
Apart from the blind Yin Jiuxiao, he had an obvious smile on his face and looked like the only one who was willing to do it in this place.
There was a platform in the middle of the yard. Generally speaking, when getting married, one would go to the city's marriage goddess temple to worship, but the Lin family ignored common sense and directly brought back a small stone statue of marriage.
The marriage certificate was placed in front of the stone statue. When the time came and the destined person approached, it kept emitting a soft pink light, adding a slightly festive vibe, which at least prevented the entire occasion from being too cold.
There is no complicated process, it is best to resolve this matter quickly.
Lin Qinghen was pushed by the guards and fell to Yin Jiuxiao's side. The two of them were pulled in front of the marriage statue, and it was only with the help of the other party that he was able to stand up.
Yin Jiuxiao did not let go. After supporting him, he took the opportunity to hold his hand.
Neither of them spoke, and Lin Qinghen did not shake off his hand. The two of them just held each other's hands inexplicably in this strange atmosphere, and there was even a bit of the flavor of a pair of star-crossed mandarin ducks.
To fulfill the marriage contract, a drop of blood must be dripped into the marriage statue at the appropriate time, and both parties then recite the oath.
The auspicious time had arrived and the knife was placed on the table. The captain of the guards wanted to do it himself but was stopped by Lin Qinghen.
"Don't bother you," he said, "I can do it myself."
Yin Jiuxiao laughed after hearing this, and followed his movements, both of them stretched out their hands.
The tip of the knife pierced a little, and two drops of blood fell, and the marriage certificate became bright all over. In the light, a few lines of words floated in the air.
This is the marriage statue and the oath given to them along with the marriage certificate.
Yin Jiuxiao couldn't see it, Lin Qinghen tugged at his clothes, meaning for him to follow her and recite word by word.
"This is now written down, and they will become a perfect couple.
We are of one mind and help each other sincerely.
May your marriage last forever and you live together till old age."
The oath was quite auspicious. For the two of them who were forced to be together, the marriage stone gave them the best kind, a rare and auspicious sign.
This was also one of the necessary procedures, but the other party read it very seriously. He said a sentence and Yin Jiuxiao repeated it. His voice was neither loud nor soft, and if you listened carefully, it had a somewhat tender meaning.
After the oath was finished, the marriage certificate disappeared immediately. During this process, the spiritual energy left by the two elders penetrated into the brows of the two people in the form of two streams of light.
Lin Qinghen didn't feel much. He absorbed spiritual energy very slowly. This spiritual source was indeed powerful, but now it could only be stored there for him to digest slowly.
With his limited talent, he might not be able to fully digest it in his lifetime. He felt that Yin Jiuxiao should be similar to him.
After the ceremony, the two people were "sent to the bridal chamber", which was actually just another yard that they found and stuffed them in.
The wedding was already done, and the Yin family was no longer of any value. Lin Zhongtian took this opportunity to have this group of people move out of the better guest rooms in the central area and move into a dilapidated courtyard, so that he could out of sight and out of mind.
Lin Zhongtian has always been very utilitarian. The Yin family was already angry, so they didn't care about this one more thing.
And they don't plan to stay long. They will have the wedding tonight and leave tomorrow.
Lin Qinghen and Yin Jiuxiao sat on the edge of the bed. He felt a musty smell in the air. Today's events were very perfunctory. When he recalled them, he found it somewhat funny. He turned to look at Yin Jiuxiao, but said nothing.
This person seemed to be in a very good mood, as if he really regarded himself as a newlywed couple, and as soon as he sat down, Yin Jiuxiao lifted his red veil.
He held Lin Qinghen with one hand, and with the other hand he slowly probed little by little, then moved to his face.
He touched Lin Qinghen's mask.
"Why are you wearing this?" Lin Qinghen frowned in confusion when he saw him.
"I have a birthmark on my face, all over my face. I don't want to scare people, so I wear it all the time," Lin Qinghen replied, "I'm used to it, and it saves me a lot of trouble."
Yin Jiuxiao touched the mask, and Lin Qinghen heard his tone soften a little: "Take it off."
This old house was very stingy with even the minerals used for lighting, but it was this little bit of light that was just right. When he looked at Yin Jiuxiao, he felt like he was looking at a beautiful woman under the lamp.
Even those blind grey eyes showed some brilliance.
For a moment, Lin Qinghen even doubted whether this person was blind, but in his interactions with Yin Jiuxiao, his reactions did not seem fake. He never expected that this person had much more experience than him and was so good at pretending.
Lin Qinghen hesitated for a moment, listened to him, and took off the mask.
"You can't see it even if I pick it..."
He muttered quietly.
"I know."
Then he heard Yin Jiuxiao's answer, and his hand touched his face very lightly.
"I just feel uncomfortable wearing a mask all the time," Yin Jiuxiao said, "I can't see it anyway, so Qinghen doesn't need to wear one in front of me, and it will be the same in the future. I don't care about this, and you can relax a little."
There is some sincerity in these words.
Yin Jiuxiao could see it, but his expression did not change when he saw the face covered with birthmarks.
Beauty is just skin and bones, it's only skin deep.
He had experienced walking through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and had seen all kinds of hideous faces. Such a small blue birthmark could not scare him at all.
Lin Qinghen took off his mask, revealing his eyes. When he looked up at him, he seemed lively, which made him like him even more.
He became interested and wanted to get to know Lin Qinghen better. Especially after Lin Qinghen took off his mask, Yin Jiuxiao took the opportunity to take a closer look.
He felt that the area around the eyes was a bit strange, as if the birthmark on the face was connected with something artificial. In other words, Lin Qinghen actually did not have that many birthmarks on his face.
Pretending again.
Lin Qinghen took off his mask and stared at the other person carefully. Yin Jiuxiao's expression did not change at all.
It seems that he is really blind.
Indeed, wearing a mask all the time is not a good experience. You will often feel stuffy, and even the softest leather will be uncomfortable when it rubs against your face.
But this face was indeed scary. This was the first person who said he didn't care and asked me not to wear it.
A soft touch passed through Lin Qinghen's heart. No matter what, Yin Jiuxiao was indeed very much to his liking. Every conversation would make him feel much better.
This was the first time in more than ten years that he had met someone who could talk to him about this. Yu Yinyin was different. She was cold in the first few years, but then she gradually got better.
He has always had bad luck, but now he finally has good luck. He has met someone who shares the same suffering as him and who understands him without much explanation and who thinks he is a good person.
Forget it, it has come to this.
Lin Qinghen sighed, reached out and gently held Yin Jiuxiao, who was a head taller than him, in his arms.
"I'm ugly, you can't see it, but think about it, we are a perfect match. Don't worry, although I'm useless now, I can support you by growing vegetables in the future." Lin Qinghen said, patting his shoulder, "We made a vow and signed a marriage contract. From now on, as long as I have something to eat, you won't starve."
The marriage certificate they used when they made their engagement was of the highest level, and divorce would be very difficult, so they were considered to be bound together for life.
Whatever, this is fate, he will be responsible for Yin Jiuxiao.
Yin Jiuxiao was suddenly hugged by him and was stunned when he heard his words.
He had planned everything in his mind, and Lin Qinghen's words were really unexpected. For a moment, he couldn't describe the feeling in his heart.
He held the arm of such an ugly duckling, who was so thin and small, but he could still say such words about raising him.
On the one hand, he's silly and gullible, but on the other hand... he's kind of cute.
He reached out and touched Lin Qinghen's hair, feeling somewhat happy that he had gotten what he wanted.
In general, this marriage was not a mistake. If it was not Lin Qingshuang in the previous life, but him...
Never mind. There's no point in thinking about this.
Now Lin Qinghen took the initiative to throw himself into his arms, and he was reluctant to let go.
Moreover, Yin Jiuxiao lowered his head and smelled a faint scent of grass and trees around his neck.
Lin Qinghen felt him rubbing against his neck. He felt itchy and subconsciously pushed him away, moving a little further away, but their faces were closer.
On the wedding night, in this atmosphere, Lin Qinghen was bewitched by this face again. When he saw the moment when they were about to breathe intertwined, he saw Yin Jiuxiao frowning, as if some injury was affected.
Because they were close, Lin Qinghen felt that his breath seemed to be disordered all of a sudden, and then Yin Jiuxiao twitched in pain, and he fell on the bed with his head tilted back.
Yin Jiuxiao didn't expect such an accident to happen.
He quickly realized the cause of this incident, the spiritual source placed between his eyebrows.
In his previous life, he absorbed two spiritual sources at the same time by coincidence. He was in a coma for a long time under special circumstances and survived.
But generally speaking, spiritual energy can be digested slowly, and Yin Jiuxiao does not plan to be unconscious for such a long time again this time. Moreover, he is still in the Lin family, which is not a good time or a good environment.
Anyway, no one could snatch it away, so he originally planned to take it bit by bit, and the magic source stored in the jade pendant he carried with him had not yet been absorbed.
But it seems that things are not as he imagined.
That spiritual source was his key. The way it mobilized and influenced the aura in his body was different from that of ordinary people. When it first entered his body, he hadn't completely controlled it yet. Once it was slightly stimulated, he couldn't suppress it.
Just now, Yin Jiuxiao's mood happened to be fluctuating, which allowed this thing to gain the upper hand.
As soon as he fell down, all the charming atmosphere was gone.
Lin Qinghen had heard that Yin Jiuxiao lost all his spiritual power due to backlash, and the disease often relapsed. He was afraid that this was the situation right now.
"I'm fine."
Yin Jiuxiao had not yet fallen into a coma. After all, he only had one spiritual source left, and it had not reached that stage yet. He could still speak to Lin Qinghen with a hoarse voice.
"It happened occasionally before, it will be fine after a while."
How come this body is weaker than mine?
Lin Qinghen breathed a sigh of relief, but then thought to himself that he would have to take good care of himself in the future and not let him do any tiring work.
The author has something to say: Lin Qinghen [confidently]: He is so pitiful, he is so weak, he is really not capable, I must protect him well in the future.
Yin Jiuxiao: ??? No, let me explain.
