In fact, Lu Xun and Luo Jin were not stout, but rather slender and tall. It was just that they were too tall, and the pink skirt was too small, so after putting on the skirt, the visual impact was particularly strong.

The matchmaker was also shocked. She stared at the two iron tower brides covered with veils in amazement, wondering what went wrong. Then she looked at Gu Jingrong again, but saw that although Master Gu looked like he wanted to die, he did not have any unexpected expression, so she did not say anything.

In the village, most families push carts to pick up the bride. Gu Jingrong's family is considered the richest in the village, so naturally they are more wealthy. Not only did they rush a bullock cart to pick up the bride, but the groom also had a donkey to ride.

The ox cart was originally quite large, but it was immediately full after the five brides sat on it. They even had to support each other to prevent them from accidentally falling off due to the bumps on the road.

The village chief's house, which had a mourning hall yesterday, had already pasted a big red wedding character today. The wedding process in the village was not complicated. Yu Xiao and a few others followed the process with veils on their heads and were soon sent to the bridal chamber.

In the dim bridal chamber, wedding candles were burning, and Yu Xiao took off the veil herself. At this time, there were two petite brides sitting on her left, and two cross-dressing brides sitting on her right.

The five people all took off their veils, and at this time, they looked up at each other, and their feelings were extremely complicated.

Yu Xiao looked at Lu Xun and Luo Jin, and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that we would have such a fate."

Lu Xun's mouth twitched, and he said: "Haha."

Zhou Xiaozhen over there also had some thoughts, not only thoughts but also doubts, "What kind of relationship do the five of us have now?"

Zhao Lan has watched a lot of palace fighting dramas, and upon hearing this, she said: "We are sisters."

Lu Xun couldn't continue with this weird topic, he quickly changed the subject and said: "What are we going to do later?"

Yu Xiao thought seriously, and then said: "According to the process, the next step is the bridal chamber."

"..."

"I don't want to." Zhou Xiaozhen refused, "I don't want to spend my wedding night with a ghost. Even if I want to spend my wedding night with a ghost, it has to be at least a handsome ghost like Gu Shu. Gu Jingrong is not acceptable."

Seeing that the topic was heading in a weird direction again, Lu Xun felt his heart begin to twitch, "I mean, what are we going to do after Gu Jingrong comes in? Are we going to interrogate him about the plague in the village?"

"Of course." Yu Xiao looked at him in confusion, "Isn't everything we do for this? Do you really want to spend your wedding night with me?"

"..."

Lu Xun stopped talking. Luo Jin looked at him, looking depressed and about to vomit blood. Although he had no expression, he was obviously in a good mood.

The people in this village are relatively depressed. Yu Xiao has not seen many people smile in the past few days since he came here. Even though it was a wedding, there was no movement outside. Only an hour later, they heard footsteps coming this way.

Yu Xiao and the other five hurriedly put the veil on.

"Squeak--"

the door was pushed open, followed by a burst of whispering. Then one of the footsteps left, and another walked in, closing the door.

"Cough cough..." Gu Jingrong couldn't stop coughing when he saw five brides sitting on the wedding bed.

While he was coughing, the five brides took off their veils at the same time.

"You cough cough cough... Don't cough cough cough... yourselves..." Gu Jingrong sat on the chair with his body tilted, looking like he was about to die.

Yu Xiao sat on the bed and waved her hand, saying, "Don't you see that your new husband is about to die? If you two don't want to be widows at such a young age, go and pour him a glass of water."

Just when Lu Xun was still thinking about which two of you Yu Xiao was referring to, Luo Jin beside him had already stood up.

"..." Old Luo, why are you so positive?

Gu Jingrong was coughing well, but suddenly he saw two big men in pink skirts approaching him step by step. Suddenly, he couldn't cough or breathe, and his whole body was numb.

Luo Jin poured a glass of water in front of Gu Jingrong, "Drink."

"Thank you..." Gu Jingrong took the cup without resistance.

Yu Xiao stood up. Her clothes as the eldest wife were quite gorgeous, and she also had some jewelry, unlike Zhao Lan and the others who had nothing.

Yu Xiao sat down opposite Gu Jingrong and smiled at him.

Her appearance was immediately different from usual. Usually she looked young, like a girl who had not fully grown up. Now with makeup on, she looked more beautiful like a mature woman.

Gu Jingrong was touched by her smile, and he suddenly felt better. Although he was forced to marry, and although he married two men. But at least his wives were all good-looking, prettier than the girls in the village.

"Xiao Gu." Yu Xiao looked like he was ready to have a heart-to-heart talk with him, "You said that we are married, and we are a family, shouldn't we say something from the heart?"

Gu Jingrong thought there was nothing wrong with this, "You say."

"I have not been in your village for a long time, but I have also discovered that the village is ravaged by a plague." Yu Xiao looked at him, "Your father is the village chief, you should know a lot. Then can you tell me what this plague is all about?"

Gu Jingrong looked embarrassed, "My father doesn't allow the villagers to tell outsiders about this."

Lu Xun slapped the table, "Are we outsiders!"

Gu Jingrong was startled, and looked at Yu Xiao weakly, pitifully and helplessly, "Of course... Of course not."

"Since you are not an outsider, what can't you say?" Yu Xiao blinked at him, "Just tell me."

"Actually, I'm not very clear. I've been weak and sickly since I was a child. My parents just told me to take good care of myself and not to worry about those messy things." Gu Jingrong's face showed reminiscence, "I remember about a year ago, no, it was less than a year ago, someone in the northernmost family in the village fell ill. It was a very serious disease and could not be cured. He died after just seven days, and then his family members also got the disease."

Lu Xun: "What was the name of the first person in that family who got sick?"

"I know this, his name is Guban." Gu Jingrong's expression was a little strange, "No one in his family has ever been to school for generations, even their names are like this..."

He didn't look like he was lying. It seemed that the first person in the village to be infected with the plague was indeed Guban. But this is obviously not the correct answer, because they only know who the first person infected with the plague was, but they don't know how he got infected.

Yu Xiao asked again: "How did Gu Ban get sick?"

"I don't know." Gu Jingrong shook his head, "How can I know something that Doctor Gu Shu doesn't know?"

After making such a great sacrifice, he still couldn't get anything out of him. Lu Xun decided to put some pressure on Gu Jingrong. He raised his hands and pinched his fingers, making a "snapping" sound. He looked at Gu Jingrong dangerously, "You're not lying, are you?" Gu Jingrong's

pupils shrank, and he stood up tremblingly and hid behind Yu Xiao. "No, I'm not lying. This is really all I know."

"I believe you." Yu Xiao patted Gu Jingrong's hand soothingly, then suddenly changed his expression and said, "But your father is actually obsessed with feudal superstition and wants to sacrifice outsiders to the gods. He is so disregarding of human life, it is really hard for us to have a good face towards his son."

Gu Jingrong trembled all over and tears were about to flow out. How could he forget that in this room, except for him, no one, male or female, is a good person.

He was extremely scared and said quickly: "It's not feudal superstition, the god in our village is really effective."

After he said that, he was afraid that Yu would laugh at them for not believing him, so he continued: "I have been in poor health since I was born. Doctor Gu Shu said that I could only live to the age of seventeen at most. I was about to die last fall. One day my father came back and brought me a piece of meat and asked me to eat it raw. He said that he got it from the temple. Although my illness did not get better after I ate it, my life was saved."

"Oh?" Lu Xun's eyes flashed, "What kind of meat is that? Where is the temple?"

"I don't know." Gu Jingrong was frightened, and he said so many words in one breath, his face became more and more pale, "It's skinless and boneless, how would I know what kind of meat it is? It just tastes very fishy."

Very fishy?

Several people looked at each other and began to think about what kind of animal meat would be particularly fishy.

"The temple is just north of the village, upstream of the river." Gu Jingrong noticed that their expressions were not right, so he asked tentatively: "You don't want to go to the temple?"

Lu Xun: "Is it not possible?"

"No." Gu Jingrong waved his hand and said: "No one except the village chief can enter the temple in the village. There are people guarding the entrance every day. Except for the village chief, anyone who sneaks in will be caught and beaten to death when they come out."

It seems that this temple is really problematic, and they must go in.

But now the village chief is dead, Yu Xiao rolled her eyes and asked: "Your father is dead, will you be the next village chief?"

"Ah..." Gu Jingrong hesitated and said: "It should be me, but I am weak..."

"It doesn't matter." Yu Xiao slapped him on the shoulder and encouraged: "Although you are not in good health, your five wives are very strong."

"..."

Their goal is very clear, first let Gu Jingrong become the village chief, and then use Gu Jingrong to sneak into the temple.

Today's marriage is not in vain, Yu Xiao is in a good mood, she stood up and said: "It's late now, should we go to bed?"

Gu Jingrong immediately became uneasy, is he really going to sleep with these two men?

Yu smiled and said, "The bed is so small, it definitely can't accommodate six people. Why don't we sleep separately and make a bed on the floor ?"

Gu Jingrong breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly.

Then I heard Yu smile and said, "We three girls sleep on the bed, and you three men sleep on the floor. Do you have any objection to this?"

Gu Jingrong: "..."

Lu Xun and Luo Jin shook their heads, "No objection."

Sob... No one asked me, the head of the family, what I think? Gu Jingrong almost cried and passed out.

Soon the bridal chamber fell into silence. The three people on the bed fell asleep comfortably. The bed in the village chief's house was indeed much more comfortable than the bed in the adobe house.

The three people lay side by side on the floor motionlessly. Luo Jin was on the left and Lu Xun was on the right. Gu Jingrong was firmly trapped in the middle, not daring to move.

In the adobe house, Zhang Feng and the other three were finishing their meal.

The meal was tasteless, and Sun Yun became emo while eating, "I suddenly don't dare to sleep tonight."

Others felt the same way. Wang Yang said, "Speaking of which, when we were in the dungeon before, if there was no special situation, we would never sleep together, at least one person would keep watch."

Zuo Qing: "We are the same..."
