Chapter 94
Aruo also knew that this would cause some gossip, so he gave a reason.
She raised her head, looked at each person, and said, "This man is Ah-mo, the husband given to me by the witch god."
Everyone looked at each other, and finally bowed devoutly to Aruo and left one after another. Aruo then turned around, smiled at Li Mo, and untied his rope.
Li Mo rubbed his wrists which were red from being tied up, feeling a little confused. He didn't know what Aruo had said to these people that made them let him go.
"What did you tell them?"
"Say, you are the husband sent to me by heaven."
Aruo used Chinese. Most people here speak in dialect and few can speak Chinese. But there is a fortune teller in the village who can speak Chinese. Many young people have learned some from her. Among the older generation, only the clan leaders and elders can speak Chinese.
Aruo speaks Chinese without stuttering or using any dialect, and his pronunciation is very standard.
When Li Mo heard this, he was stunned for a moment, his heart was beating like thunder, and his face turned red from his neck to his ears.
In this way, Li Mo stayed in the village, but he just walked around in the village. He hadn't seen Aruo for several days. He heard from the villagers that Aruo was a saint and had been busy selecting new clan leaders and elders, as well as preparing for the wedding.
Li Mo likes Aruo, but he is reluctant to get married. However, seeing that everyone in the village is good at martial arts, he wants to learn. Aruo tells him that the martial arts in their village are not passed on to outsiders, and if he wants to learn, he can only marry into the village.
Li Mo wanted to learn. He thought that if he had such a skill, he would be able to take revenge. So he said nothing about getting married and was looking forward to it.
And their interactions before marriage made him fall even more in love with Aruo, a girl who was brave and resourceful, reserved yet somewhat open-minded.
"Wow, Nanzhi, you are so beautiful!"
The scene we filmed today was the wedding scene.
The whole village was decorated with red satin, and Lin Nanzhi also changed into new clothes, a red and green outfit with intricate embroidery. Her body was full of silver, including her hair, and the makeup artist even put on some makeup for her, which really gave her a different look.
Lin Nanzhi looked at himself in the mirror and felt very satisfied.
Wan Baobao and Zhang Jiayu quickly took photos with her and sent them to Meng Xin, which made her extremely jealous. She regretted that she had not come and missed such an opportunity.
The crew's cameo must be very interesting.
Wen Jiunian also put on a prepared ethnic costume and came to the shooting location with a big red flower hanging on his head. The moment he saw Lin Nanzhi, he couldn't take his eyes away, and it felt like he had fallen in love with her at first sight.
As the director said "shoot", everyone got into character. For such a big shot, it would be normal to have to do multiple NGs. After all, if one person was not doing it right, everything would have to be done again. But it went through in one go.
The director was extremely happy and arranged this scene for today. After all, it was a group scene. Unexpectedly, he got it right in just one take, so he took advantage of this shot to shoot two more scenes and finished work early.
Lin Nanzhi and his two companions, as well as Wen Jiunian, the director, and Gao Linyu who had not left yet, had dinner together at Grandma Zhang's house.
After dinner, heavy snow suddenly began to fall from the sky.
We have been filming for another four or five days, and there are still ten days before the Chinese New Year. The director's intention is to shoot the few remaining scenes as quickly as possible and then go home for the Chinese New Year.
The next day, there was a lot of snow, which was perfect for filming a scene. The director called in the crew and filmed the scene in a row, and also added a scene where Li Mo and Aruo were watching the snow.
There is such a scene in the original novel. Aruo and Li Mo did not consummate their marriage after they got married. After a few months, when they were sitting together watching the snow, they could not help but tell each other their true feelings. As they talked, they looked at each other and fell in love, and then they consummated their marriage.
This scene was initially deleted, but seeing the heavy snow, the director decided to add it in.
However, Lin Nanzhi was a minor, so when the two of them were filming, Wen Jiunian held her face, covered her lips with his thumb, and kissed her thumb. Even so, they both blushed. The plot was in line with the scene, but it made everyone laugh all day.
It snowed heavily for one day and then cleared up. After two more days of filming, only one scene was left.
The two have been very sweet and loving since they consummated their marriage, but there is injustice in the world.
This day is the annual sacrificial ceremony of the Qiuluo tribe. After Aruo led the tribesmen to dance and kneel down to worship, they killed chickens and pigs in the village and set up a banquet. Everyone was very happy, but unexpectedly, Ayu accidentally colluded with the government outside. She couldn't bear to see Aruo doing well, but she could do nothing about it.
Once, she accidentally overheard what Aruo, Li Mo and the witch said, and kept it in mind. After a quarrel with Aruo, she informed the government of Li Mo's identity, intending to use the government to kill Aruo and Li Mo, so that she could take the position of the saint.
For this purpose, she not only led the officers and soldiers in, but also put poison specifically designed to kill the people in the wine, causing all the people in the tribe to be poisoned and unable to fight back.
She had not expected such an outcome, so she started fighting with the government officials. However, she was no match for the government officials and could only watch her close relatives die in front of her one by one.
Aruo and Li Mo left the banquet early to spend some time alone, but Aruo drank some wine and vomited blood. She knew something was wrong. When she and Li Mo arrived, they saw Ah Yu being pierced in the abdomen by a sword.
Ah Yu was kicked away by someone, and Ah Ruo hugged her tightly. Ah Yu fell into her arms and smiled at Ah Ruo for the first time. She also apologized to her in a low voice for the first time: "Ah Ruo, I was wrong, I was really wrong. If it weren't for me, no one would have died!"
If it weren't for her, with the villagers' martial arts, these officials would never have been able to defeat the villagers. And because of her, the villagers couldn't even fight back, let alone use poison.
"I will go to hell to repent." Ah Yu said as she lost all anger in Aruo's arms.
She herself never thought that one day she would die in the arms of the person she hated the most...
"Ayu!"
A'ruo looked at the corpses on the ground and the dead A'yu in his arms. He couldn't help but wail in pain, but A'man grabbed him and said, "A'ruo, hurry up!"
Ah Man never drinks, and he and Li Mo are the only two people who were not poisoned today.
But she was just like Li Mo, uneducated and unskilled, so her martial arts skills were average, and her poison was even worse, and her body was already covered with scars.
"Aruo, let's go!"
As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood!
Li Mo also pulled Aruo and quickly fled the scene.
The three people's departure was discovered by the government, who chased the three people and fought with them. A Man died to protect A Ruo, and A Ruo and Li Mo fled to a cave.
This is a secret passage, a survival passage known only to the saints of all generations.
But when Aruo saw the door of the passage being opened, she turned around to look at the village, only to see a raging fire in the direction of the village. A tear fell from the corner of her eye.
"Aru, let's go!"
As soon as Li Mo finished speaking, he was acupunctured by Aruo and then pushed into the passage.
She took off her hairpin and smiled at Li Mo.
