Chapter 29: Plague Village 5
The morning sun is very good, reflecting in front of the door through layers of leaves.
Gu Shu has been silent for a long time, it's not that he's suddenly dumb or hesitating, it's just that his three views are being broken and reshaped.
Someone actually dared to propose to the attending doctor. Could it be that he didn't kill enough people?
Seeing that he didn't speak, Yu Xiao said, "You won't marry me for nothing, and I will give you benefits."
Gu Shu felt that as the attending doctor, his curiosity was too strong. So even though he wants to eat this woman very much now, he is still curious about the benefits in her words, "What benefits?"
"I have two sisters, who are as beautiful as flowers, and they are just young." Yu smiled and said: "If you marry me, I will let them marry you too, you see How about it?"
"..."
Now not only the ancient tree fell silent, but even Zhao Lan and Zhou Xiaozhen were dumbfounded.
Zhou Xiaozhen took a deep breath, "Good guy, Sister Xiao is acting like a ghost and she won't let us go."
Zhao Lan's rationality told her that Xiaoxiao must have a deep meaning in doing so. But her mind refuses to reason and plays cult music in her head...
Yu Xiao looked at Gu Shu expectantly, she hoped that Gu Shu would marry her from the bottom of her heart. Gu Shu gave her a deep look, then closed the door without saying a word.
The tip of his nose was almost hit by the door, Yu Xiao raised his hand to touch it, let out a long sigh, turned around and regretfully said to the two of them: "The ancient tree is so heartless and indifferent."
Zhao Lan's mind is still not sober, Zhou Xiaozhen looked at Yu Xiao without words, "Sister Xiao, if you really like the attending doctor, you can marry George. He is different from Gu Shu, he has something in your hands If you threaten him, he dare not not marry you."
"George has a shit." This was Yu Xiao's evaluation. She led a man along the road with one hand, "Do you think I came to propose marriage because I coveted the beauty of the ancient tree?"
Zhou Xiaozhen said honestly: "Isn't it?"
"Oh, Xiaozhen, you have such a brain..." Yu Xiao was very worried, "What if we are not by your side one day, what will you do?"
Zhou Xiaozhen was very scared, "Sister Xiao, can we not set a flag?"
Yu Xiao led the two of them around, and came to the door of the largest brick house in the village. Pointing inside, he said, "Do you know where this is?"
Until now Zhao Lan's IQ finally regained the high ground, she thought for a while and said, "Is this the village chief's house?"
Yu smiled: "That's right."
"Wow, Sister Lan, you are so amazing." Zhou Xiaozhen's eyes were full of admiration, "Why are you so smart, you guessed it right."
Zhao Lan hesitated for a while, then pointed to the white cloth hanging under the eaves in the yard, "Only the village chief's family died today..."
"..."
Zhou Xiaozhen opened her mouth into an o, then lowered her head to feel sad for her own IQ. Zhao Lan quickly changed the subject, "Smile, what are you bringing us here for?"
"Marry." Yu Xiao said succinctly, "Do you remember what I said last night? People in the village have to sacrifice to outsiders and pray to the gods to take back the disaster. At that time, I was thinking, as long as we become insiders, wouldn't we be safe?" Yet?"
"Oh" Zhao Lan suddenly realized, "The son of the village chief wants to be happy, and the girl he wants to marry is unwilling to marry him. We can marry him instead of that girl, so that we are the people of the village, and we are not eligible for sacrifice. standards."
"Yes, that's what I thought." Yu Xiao said as he raised his legs and walked into the courtyard of the village chief's house.
But Zhao Lan still didn't understand, "Since this is the case, why didn't you come to the village chief's house early in the morning, and why did you go to Gu Shu's house specifically?"
"I know that." Zhou Xiaozhen raised her right hand, "Because Sister Xiao thinks Gu Shu is more handsome, if she can choose, she would rather marry Gu Shu."
"Hehe, Xiaozhen, you're being naughty again." Zhao Lan looked at her dotingly, "Smile, could she be this kind of person?"
Yu Xiao: "She's right, that's what I think."
Zhao Lan: "..."
White cloths were hung everywhere in the village chief's house, and a coffin was placed in the main room. The strange thing was that only paper money was burned in front of the coffin, but no incense.
The wife of the village head hadn't come back yet, and there was only a man in plain sackcloth kneeling before the coffin.
He was thin and weak, with pale skin, coughing twice from time to time, like a male version of Lin Daiyu. Hearing the footsteps of the three, the village chief's son turned his head and stared blankly at the three, his pale face full of bewilderment and surprise.
"I haven't seen you, are you outsiders?"
"Yes." Yu Xiao squatted down and grabbed a few pieces of paper money and threw them into the brazier, "You are the weak son of the village chief who can't take care of himself? What's your name?"
Gu Jingrong subconsciously felt that this was weird, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it, so he said, "It's me, my name is Gu Jingrong."
"Oh, Xiaogu, it's like this." Yu Xiao pretended to gossip with him, "We heard that your mother is going to congratulate you?"
"Ahem, yes." Gu Jingrong's pale face flushed, "Actually, I don't agree with this matter, but my mother insists on it. And I'm the only child in my family, so..."
"Understood." Yu Xiao nodded, "Then do you know that the girl who wants to marry you is not willing?"
Hearing this, Gu Jingrong lowered his head, revealing a pale and slender neck, obviously he knew about it.
Yu Xiao suddenly said loudly: "Gu Jingrong, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. You have to sacrifice the happiness of a young girl's life for the sake of Chongxi who doesn't know if it will be useful!"
Gu Jingrong was shaken by her yelling, and hurriedly waved his hands, "No, no, no... I, I don't want to, but my mother..."
"Now there is an opportunity in front of you." Yu Xiao grabbed Gu Jingrong's collar, "You can not hurt that innocent girl, and you can continue to have fun according to your mother's wishes. It depends on whether you are willing or not." gone."
Gu Jingrong didn't dare to be unwilling, he was clutched by the collar and almost couldn't breathe, "cough cough cough... I am willing, I am willing, let me go first..."
Yu Xiao let him go, he quickly took two deep breaths, and then asked cautiously and expectantly: "What opportunity?"
Yu smiled and looked at her without turning his eyes, and pointed to himself, "I will marry you instead of that girl."
"..."
Gu Jingrong was dumbfounded, "You, but you..."
Zhou Xiaozhen stood aside with a vicious look, "What's the matter? Why are you hesitating? Could it be that our Xiaojie is not good enough for you?!"
"No, no, no." Gu Jingrong was so impatient and ashamed that he didn't even dare to look into Yu Xiao's eyes, "But I don't even know you yet."
"This is not a problem, my name is Zhou Xiao." Yu Xiao looked at him with a smile, "Now we know each other."
Gu Jingrong raised his head shyly, glanced at Yu Xiao and then quickly looked away, "If this is what you want, then I can... I can..."
"What's the use of you? I can't." Yu Xiao stretched out a finger, "If you want me to marry you, you have to agree to one condition."
"Ah?" Gu Jingrong looked at her stupidly, what do you mean I want you to marry me? Didn't you take the initiative to find me and say you want to marry me?
But he still nodded and said, "Go ahead."
Yu Xiao turned around and pointed at Zhao Lan and Zhou Xiaozhen who were behind him, "The two of them are my good sisters, we once swore that we will never be separated in this life, and we will marry the same man when we marry in the future. So, you take them Let's get married together."
"..."
This time Gu Jingrong was completely dumbfounded. He opened his mouth and looked at the three of them blankly like a dementia. His mind went blank and he was speechless for a long time.
Yu Xiao frowned, "You don't want to?"
Zhou Xiaozhen immediately rolled up her sleeves, "What's wrong? We sisters are not good enough for you?"
She greeted Zhao Lan, "Sister Lan, let him see your skills."
Zhao Lan didn't know what to say, she vaguely remembered that she used to be an elegant white-collar worker in a big company. I don't know when her style of painting changed, not only became violent, but also did things like forced marriage...
She silently walked to the side of the coffin, stretched out a hand without much effort, and the whole coffin was carried by her with one hand.
When Gu Jingrong was stunned, Zhou Xiaozhen said, "See? If you don't want to die, just obediently marry our sisters!"
Gu Jingrong's face turned pale with fright, and he exclaimed repeatedly, "I promise you! I promise you! Put my father down quickly..."
"Hmph!" Zhou Xiaozhen sneered, "You're smart."
Zhao Lan let go of the coffin, and Yu Xiao comforted him hypocritically, "Don't be too sad, the three of us don't want a bride price. Besides, look at the three of us, aren't we beautiful? It's not good to let you enjoy the same blessing ? Stop acting like you've been taken advantage of..."
"It's not like this." Gu Jingrong was terrified, and whispered: "A man can only marry one wife. This is a dogma of etiquette. How can it be changed?"
Zhou Xiaozhen clenched her fists, "You want to go back on your word? You just promised us!"
"I'm not repenting..." Gu Jingrong hid behind Yu Xiao in fright, "There can only be one wife, but... there can be many concubines."
…
Lu Xun knew that the three of Yu Xiao and the others were not easy, and if they didn't act together with them today, he had an intuition that the three of them must be doing something important.
After working with Zhang Feng and the others for a while, Lu Xun felt uneasy, so he brought Luo Jin to find Yu Xiao and the others.
They found the village chief's house, and before they entered, they heard a man crying, "Why are you doing this to me? I'm just an ordinary man..."
Lu Xun and Luo Jin looked at each other, and they both saw confusion in each other's eyes.
The two walked in together, and saw Yu Xiao and the three standing, and a crying man in front of them.
"Yo." Lu Xun said with a smile: "What are you doing? Could it be to extract a confession here?"
Seeing them, Gu Jingrong seemed to see a savior, he hugged Lu Xun's leg, "You two, save me, the three of them are killing me!"
Lu Xun was even more puzzled, "What are they forcing you to do?"
Gu Jingrong looked ashamed and angry, "They forced me to marry them, but I only have one person, how can I marry three people at the same time!"
"..."
Lu Xun felt that his brain was not enough, he looked at the three of them blankly, "You really..."
"None of your business." Zhou Xiaozhen said, "Get lost!"
Lu Xun thought about it carefully, and it was really none of his business, so he pulled Luo Jin awkwardly and said, "Well, let's go."
Luo Jin shook off his hand, and looked at Gu Jingrong with a pair of dark eyes like stars, "How did they force you?"
With tears in his eyes, Gu Jingrong complained: "It's her, that woman. She lifted my father's birthday material with one hand and threatened me with my father's body."
Luo Jin nodded, took two steps forward, and put one hand on the coffin. I don't know how he tried so hard, but he lifted the coffin with one hand.
Gu Jingrong was going crazy, "What are you doing? Let go of my father quickly!"
Luo Jin cherished words like gold as always, pointed at himself and Lu Xun with the other hand, and said, "Marry the two of us together."
Lu Xun: "Ah?!"
