Because they had to spend the night here, Zhang Meng originally wanted to ask Village Chief Zhu to pass a message to the military district for her. However, before she could say this, Gu Mingtai found the village.
When I met this man, his face looked a little sour.
Zhang Meng threw down the half-drawn talisman paper and pulled him to the back of Zhu's house.
The two stood behind the house for a while. This guy just stared at her without saying a word. Helpless, Zhang Meng had to speak first.
"Gu Mingtai, why are you here?" His tone was slightly flattering.
Gu Mingtai snorted softly, "If I hadn't come here, I wouldn't have known about the big thing you were going to do tomorrow!"
Zhang Meng's face felt weak after hearing this, and she didn't dare to look him in the eye. "What's the big deal? I'm just trying to help the villagers in this village. You don't know how miserable they are. They have to sacrifice a girl to a monster in the river every ten years. Don't you think it's miserable? Now that I know about this, I have to take care of it. Don't you think I'm right?"
"Just keep on being so arrogant. There will always be a time when you will suffer a loss." Gu Mingtai reached out and gently pinched the tip of her nose, saying helplessly.
Zhang Meng immediately buried her head in his arms, "I still have you here, you will definitely protect me, right?"
The man's face, which was colder than ice, suddenly warmed up. "You're trying to trick me again."
Zhang Meng chuckled, grabbed his hand and said, "Gu Mingtai, since you're here, let's go together tomorrow to capture the monster in the river."
Gu Mingtai looked down at her and chuckled, "Do you think I would leave you alone to do something risky like that? You must keep this with you tomorrow and don't drop it."
When Zhang Meng saw that it was a piece of wood, he frowned. He had never expected that this piece of wood was struck by lightning.
As soon as Gu Mingtai saw her expression, he knew that this little woman must not have thought of her true identity.
He couldn't help but smile in anger, and reached out to tap her forehead gently. "Don't underestimate this piece of wood. It's not ordinary wood. Remember the last time we went to the auction in Beijing? You've seen this thing before."
Zhang Meng was stunned for a moment, then her eyes suddenly lit up. She looked up at the man in front of her in disbelief, "Lightning-struck wood, it's lightning-struck wood, right? No, you, how did you get this thing?"
Gu Mingtai hugged her lovingly and said, "Knowing that I have an adventurous and impulsive wife, I had to ask Mr. Liao in the capital to keep an eye out for this thing for me. I didn't expect there really was one, and he bought it for me. I wanted to take some time out to give you a surprise."
But now it seems that there will be no surprises.
Zhang Meng hugged the piece of lightning-struck wood and kissed it several times. "Wow, this thing came at the perfect time. If I had this piece of lightning-struck wood, I wouldn't have to be afraid of ghosts and monsters anymore."
Seeing her kissing the stinky wood several times while hugging it, Gu Mingtai was filled with jealousy. He immediately snatched the lightning-struck wood from her hand, pointed a finger at his own cheek, and said sourly, "Why kiss it? It's so hard. You might as well kiss my face. Go ahead, kiss me a few more times and I'll be happy."
Zhang Meng looked at the face he was pointing at, blushed, and gently pushed him away, "Who wants to kiss you?"
Then he snatched the lightning-struck wood from his hand and ran back to the Zhu family.
The Zhu family was waiting in the main room for the young couple to come back for dinner, but they saw them coming out from the back of the room one after the other with red faces. Father Zhu and Mother Zhu looked at each other, and at the same time a sentence flashed through their minds: It's good to be young, you can be passionate wherever you go.
Zhang Meng and Gu Mingtai had no idea that their blushing faces would bring them such a beautiful misunderstanding.
After dinner, Zhang Meng asked the Zhu family to prepare a bowl of rooster blood and a large basin of black dog blood.
That night, the couple didn't sleep much and spent all their time on the flower talisman paper.
After finally finishing the talisman paper, the couple had just laid down in each other's arms for a short while when the rooster outside started crowing. The couple had to get up again to prepare for the day.
Zhang Meng followed Zhu's mother to Zhu Xiaoqing's room.
Half an hour later, the matchmaker brought out a bride wearing a red veil from Zhu Xiaoqing's room and put her into the sedan chair at the door of Zhu's house.
The sedan chair circled the village entrance and finally stopped at a large river at the entrance. Although it was clearly a happy occasion, none of the guests who came to send the bride off smiled at all. Some even turned their faces away sadly, secretly wiping away tears.
The matchmaker also knew that this marriage was actually a funeral, and the smile on her face did not look very happy.
After arriving at the river, the matchmaker got into the sedan chair and led the bride out, singing along the way, "One step forward, and the couple will love each other till old age..."
Until the bride got on the bamboo boat parked by the river, the bamboo boat slowly floated to the center of the river.
Zhang Meng, who was wearing an ancient bridal dress, secretly opened the red veil on her head and looked around. She found that the boat had drifted away to somewhere unknown. There was fog all around and she could not see the surrounding environment at all.
At this moment, the boat she was sitting in suddenly sank. Before she could react, the river water rolled up a large hole and rolled the bamboo boat Zhang Meng was sitting in under.
Before Zhang Meng could react, everything went dark and she knew nothing.
When I opened my eyes again, what I saw was a cave.
The cave was decorated in a festive manner. Just as she was staring at the cave in a daze, she suddenly heard the sound of someone entering the cave.
