Chapter 32: Plague Village 8
In fact, Lu Xun and Luo Jin's bodies are not strong, but rather slender and tall. It's just that the two of them are too tall, and the pink skirt is too small, so that after wearing the skirt, the visual impact is particularly strong.
The matchmaker was also shocked, she stared dumbfounded at the two hijab-covered iron tower brides, wondering what went wrong. Then she went to see Gu Jingrong again, but saw that although Young Master Gu looked like he wanted to die, he didn't have any surprised expression, so she didn't say anything.
When marrying a wife in the village, people usually pick up the bride with a cart. Gu Jingrong's family is considered the richest man in the village, so they are naturally more generous. Not only did the ox cart come to pick up the bride, but the groom also had a donkey to ride on.
Originally, the ox cart was quite big, but it was full immediately after five brides sat on it. They even had to support each other in case they accidentally fell off the bumpy road.
The village head’s family, which still had a mourning hall yesterday, has already posted the red happy letter today. The marriage process in the village is not complicated. Yu Xiao and the others followed the process with their heads covered, and were quickly sent to the bridal chamber.
The wedding candles were burning in the dim bridal chamber, Yu Xiao lifted the hijab by himself. At this time, two petite brides were sitting on her left, and two big brides in women's clothing were sitting on her right.
All five of them lifted their hijabs, looked up at each other at this time, and their moods were not usually complicated.
Yu Xiao looked at Lu Xun and Luo Jin, and said with emotion: "I never thought we would have such a fate."
The corner of Lu Xun's mouth twitched, and he said, "Hehe."
Over there, Zhou Xiaozhen also had some thoughts, not only thoughts but also doubts, "What is the relationship between the five of us now?"
Zhao Langong watched a lot of fighting dramas, and said after hearing this: "You can be regarded as sisters."
Lu Xun couldn't continue this weird topic, he quickly changed the subject and said, "What are you doing later?"
Yu Xiao thought about it seriously, and then said: "According to the process, the next step is the bridal chamber."
"..."
"I don't want it." Zhou Xiaozhen refused: "I don't want to have a bridal chamber with a ghost. Even if I want to have a bridal chamber with a ghost, at least I have to be a handsome ghost like Gu Shu, not Gu Jingrong."
Seeing the topic going in a strange direction again, Lu Xun felt his heart start 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 suspiciously, "Isn't everything we do for this, is it possible that you really want a bridal chamber?"
"..."
Lu Xun stopped talking, and Luo Jin looked depressed and about to vomit blood. Although he had no expression, he was obviously in a good mood.
The people in this village are quite depressed. Yu Xiao hasn't seen many people laughing in the past few days since he came here. Even though there was no movement outside the wedding, they heard footsteps coming this way after only an hour.
Yu Xiao and the others hurriedly put the hijab on.
"Squeak—"
The door was pushed open, followed by the sound of whispering. Then one of the footsteps left, another footstep came in, and closed the door.
"Ahem..." Gu Jingrong couldn't stop coughing when he saw five brides sitting on the wedding bed.
Just as they were coughing, the five brides pulled off their hijabs in unison.
"Cough cough cough...don't cough cough cough...yourselves..." Gu Jingrong sat on the chair and tilted his body, looking like he was about to die.
Yu Xiao sat on the bed and waved his hands, saying: "I didn't see that my new husband was about to die. You two don't want to be widowed at a young age, so hurry over and pour him a glass of water."
Just when Lu Xun was still thinking about who the two of you were in Yu Xiao's mouth, Luo Jin beside him had already stood up.
"..." Lao Luo, why are you so active?
Gu Jingrong was coughing well, and suddenly saw two big men in pink skirts approaching him step by step, and immediately he couldn't cough or pant, his whole body was numb.
Luo Jin poured a glass of water and brought it to Gu Jingrong, "Drink."
"Thank you..." Gu Jingrong took the tea cup without daring to resist.
Yu Xiao stood up, her big wife's attire was quite gorgeous, and she also had some jewelry, unlike Zhao Lan and the others who didn't have anything.
Yu Xiao sat down opposite Gu Jingrong and smiled at him.
Her attire was immediately different from usual, usually she looked young, like a girl who hadn't fully grown up. At this time, makeup is added to add the beauty of a mature woman.
Gu Jingrong was shaken by her smile, and suddenly felt a little better. Although he was forced to marry, although he still married two men. But at least his wives are good-looking, prettier than the girls in the village.
"Xiao Gu." Yu Xiao looked as if he was about to have a heart-to-heart chat with him, "You said that we are all married, that is, we are a family, shouldn't we speak the truth?"
Gu Jingrong felt that there was nothing wrong with this, "Say it."
"I haven't been in your village for a long time, but I also found that the plague is raging in the village." Yu smiled and looked at him, "Your father is the village chief, you should know a lot. Then can you tell me, what exactly is this plague? What's the matter?"
Gu Jingrong showed a look of embarrassment, "My father won't let people in the village tell outsiders about this."
Lu Xun slapped the table, "Are we outsiders!"
Gu Jingrong was taken aback, looked at Yu Xiao pitifully and helplessly, "Of course not."
"Since you're not an outsider, what can't you say?" Yu Xiao blinked at him, "Just say it."
"Actually, I don't know very well. I have been weak and sick since I was a child. My parents only asked me to take good care of my health and not to care about those messy things." Gu Jingrong showed a look of reminiscence, "I remember about a year ago, no, It was less than a year ago that someone from the northernmost family in the village fell ill. It was a serious illness that could not be cured, and he died within seven days, and then his family members also got sick."
Lu Xun: "What's the name of the first sick person in that family?"
"I know this, it's called old-fashioned." Gu Jingrong's expression was a little strange, "No one in his family has ever read a book for generations, and even the name is like this..."
He doesn't look like a liar. It seems that the first person in the village to be infected with the plague is indeed old-fashioned. But this is obviously not the correct answer, because they only know who the first person was infected with the plague, and they don't know how he was infected.
Yu Xiao asked again: "How did that old-fashioned get sick?"
"I don't know." Gu Jingrong shook his head, "How could I know something that Doctor Gu Shu didn't even know?"
After making such a big sacrifice, he couldn't find anything by asking left and right. Lu Xun decided to put a little pressure on Gu Jingrong. He raised his hand and squeezed his fingers "snapping" and looked at Gu Jing with dangerous eyes. Rong, "You didn't lie, did you?"
Gu Jingrong's pupils contracted, and he stood up tremblingly and hid behind Yu Xiao, "No, I didn't lie, I really only know so much."
"I believe in you." Yu Xiao patted Gu Jingrong's hand reassuringly, then suddenly changed his face and said, "But your father is actually obsessed with feudal superstition, and sacrifices to outsiders to sacrifice gods. It's really hard for us to treat him like this. Your son has a good face."
Gu Jingrong trembled all over, tears were about to flow out, how could he have forgotten that in this room except him, no matter men or women are good people.
He was terrified, and quickly said: "It's not a feudal superstition, the gods in our village are really effective."
After speaking, he was afraid that Yu Xiao would not believe them, so he continued: "I was not in good health when I was born. Doctor Gu Shu said that I would live to be seventeen years old at most. I was going to die last fall. One day my father came back and brought me a Let me eat the meat raw, saying that it was obtained from the temple. Although I did not get better after eating, my life was saved.”
"Oh?" Lu Xun's eyes sparkled, "What kind of meat is that? Where is the temple?"
"I don't know." Gu Jingrong was frightened, and said so many words in one breath, his face became more gray, "It's skinless and boneless, how do I know what it is? It just tastes very fishy. "
Especially 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 to the north of the village, which is the upper reaches of the river." Gu Jingrong found that their expressions were not right after speaking, so he asked tentatively: "You don't want to go to the temple, do you?"
Lu Xun: "Is it not possible?"
"Impossible." Gu Jingrong waved his hand and said, "No one can enter the temple in the village except the village chief, and there are people guarding the entrance every day. Except for the village chief, anyone who sneaks in will be punished when they come out." Grab the stick and beat him to death."
It seems that this temple is really problematic, they must go in.
But now that the village chief is dead, Yu Xiao rolled his eyes and asked, "Your father is dead, will you be the next village chief?"
"Ah..." Gu Jingrong hesitated and said, "It is logical to say that it is me, but I am weak..."
"It's okay." Yu Xiao slapped him on the shoulder and encouraged him: "Although you are not in good health, your five wives are all very strong."
"..."
Their goal is already very clear, first let Gu Jingrong become the village head, and then use Gu Jingrong to sneak into the temple.
Today's marriage was not in vain, Yu Xiao was in a good mood, she stood up and said, "It's late now, shouldn't we go to sleep?"
Gu Jingrong immediately became apprehensive, did he really want to sleep with these two men?
Yu smiled and said, "The bed is so small, there must be no room for six people, why don't we sleep separately, and make a floor bunk on the floor."
Gu Jingrong heaved a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly.
Just then Yu laughed and said: "We three girls sleep on the bed, and you three boys sleep on the floor, so you don't mind?"
Gu Jingrong: "..."
Lu Xun and Luo Jin shook their heads, "No objection."
Hey... No one asked me, the head of the family, for my opinion? Gu Jingrong almost fainted from crying.
Soon the wedding room fell into silence, and the three of them fell asleep comfortably on the bed. The bed in the village head's house was indeed much more comfortable than the bed in the earth embryo room.
Three people lay side by side motionless on the ground, with Luo Jin on the left and Lu Xun on the right. Gu Jingrong was firmly caught in the middle, not daring to move.
In the soil embryo room, the four of Zhang Feng were finishing their meal.
The meal was tasteless, and Sun Yun emoed while eating, "I suddenly don't dare to sleep much tonight."
Others felt the same way, Wang Yang said: "Speaking of which, we used to be in dungeons, if there were no special circumstances, we would never sleep together. At least one person must keep watch."
Zuo Qing: "We are also..."
