1. Zhuo Jingning
The moonlight is like washing, and the shadows of branches in the mountains fall on the gloomy path, making the strange shadows blurred.
The night was already deep, and the fields were silent.
But suddenly, there was a sound of suona, which gradually sounded from far to near.
There were grass and trees shaking, and then a group of people dressed in festive clothes came quickly carrying the sedan chair.
The people carrying the sedan chair were very panicked. They forced themselves to look at the left and right, and did not look at the sedan chair. They stiffened their necks and looked forward, motionless, as if they were afraid of something.
The person who played the suona was a dull old man. The sound of the suona sounded cheerful. The old man was dressed "joyful" and was dressed in bright clothes. However, the old man... had no vitality at all.
It was like a dead person, with a smell of decay all over his body.
As soon as the wind blew, a red rope tied to the old man's head shaking.
The old man suddenly became dazed. He seemed to have heard something, and suddenly turned his head and looked at the sedan chair that the gentleman had repeatedly told him to never look at.
The sedan is red, and is arranged like most wedding sedans. The exit position is not a curtain, but a wooden door.
This door looks a bit weird, like a coffin lid.
However, at this moment, the old man suddenly found that the wooden door was missing, and followed a familiar girl's figure in front of him.
The girl was asking him: "Dad, where are you going to marry me?"
The old man shivered suddenly.
He was excited and blinked quickly, trying to see clearly, but when he looked again, he could no longer see the girl, and could only see the wooden door that looked like a coffin lid.
The old man was stunned for a moment.
The sound of suona also stopped, and the others in the team immediately looked at the old man. One of them wanted to get close to the old man and wanted to ask if the old man was tired. After all, he had already walked the mountain road in the middle of the night.
But at this time, the old man started to blow the suona again.
He brags very hard!
Because today is his daughter’s day!
The moonlight is still as clear as it is, but the silhouettes of the branches are mottled on the courtyard walls by the roadside, making them look a little dirty.
This is a slightly old house, located halfway up the mountain for some time. On weekdays, people nearby pass by here and see the closed door of the house, so the door is covered with spider webs and dust.
However, tonight, when the group passed by, they found that the door of the old house was just open!
The door of the house was open, and a little girl was looking at them curiously with her bright big eyes.
The little girl is wearing clean and bright clothes, which is obviously not from an ordinary family.
The group naturally saw this little girl, but they didn't mean to say hello. They just took a look and then carried the sedan chair away.
The sound of suona gradually faded away.
The little girl withdrew her gaze and turned to look into the room.
The door of the house was also open, and there was an Eight Immortals table inside. Next to the table was a handsome young monk with scars on his head, looking like he came out of a regular temple.
That's... the young monk's face was greasy at this moment, and he was holding a pig's head in his hands with indecent posture, gnawing on the pig's nose.
When he noticed the little girl's gaze, the young monk immediately greeted him: "This is the craftsmanship of Master Fuyuanlou. Don't you really want to give me a mouthful?"
The little girl's bright big eyes glanced at the pig's heads with tooth marks everywhere. Although the roast was burnt on the outside and tender on the inside and tempting in color, looking at so many tooth marks, the little girl's appetite suddenly disappeared and she gritted her teeth in her heart. However, a sweet smile appeared on her delicate little face: "No need, my brother said that eating too greasy food at night will easily gain weight!"
"Listen to the nonsense of your abnormal brother." The young monk said disapprovingly, then changed the pig's head in his hand to the side that he had never chewed, and opened his mouth and took a bite.
Little girl: ヾ(?`Д′?)? 丽Zhuo Jingning, you are not normal! How could my brother know a monk like you like? And he is also a monk who uses a secular name!
The little girl who gritted her teeth in her heart still had a sweet smile on her delicate little face: "But that's what my brother said!"
Zhuo Jingning wiped his mouth and looked at the little girl, and couldn't help but mutter in his heart: How could such a good sister be that guy's sister?
As he said this, he couldn't help but think of a scene during the day.
He took the account book of Lanruo Temple and came to this place to help urge the rent. He was not helping for nothing. The monk from Lanruo Temple had already promised that as long as he helped them collect the rent, he would give it half of it!
For convenience, he dressed up like a monk.
The monks in Lanruo Temple are famously rich, so Zhuo Jingning also invested in this outfit.
As a result, before he received the rent, he met a friend who had been in love with him.
The two saved each other's lives and had a deep friendship.
At the beginning, he wanted to join forces, but later, Zhuo Jingning was about to kowtow and worship the things he used to do, and his friend disappeared mysteriously.
For this reason, Zhuo Jingning was also worried that it was the evil thing that followed him and killed his friend, and he was afraid for a long time.
Now that I have seen a friend I haven’t seen for many years, how can I not invite my friend to have a drink?
Just like that, while I was upset, Zhuo Jingning heard his friend say, "Jingning, I am not a native of this village, and I am about to return to my hometown... I am returning to my hometown again. But I have no relatives, so I can only trust you. The one I can't let go of in this life is my sister Yuaner. In the future, I will ask Jingning, you will take care of me."
At that time, Zhuo Jingning didn't know how much wine he had drunk, and he was drunk for the first time.
Naturally, in this state, he agreed immediately.
However, after waking up, Zhuo Jingning remembered this matter, didn't care.
Not to mention their friendship, how much money can this little girl be spent?
When he received the rent, not to mention that the money was enough for him to spend half his life, even Yuan'er would have a dowry in the future.
"Since you don't like to eat this, then you can eat some osmanthus cakes from Fuyuanlou? If you don't eat anything at night, you will easily wake up hunger in the middle of the night." Zhuo Jingning opened a greasy paper bag, and there were a few exquisitely-looking osmanthus cakes inside.
Fuyuan Tower is the most famous restaurant in this Zombie Town. It is a bit expensive, but it is awesome for food and pastries. Many people come to this Zombie Town far away just to go to Fuyuan Tower to taste a bite.
The Fuyuan Tower in Zombie Town is famous in the Central Plains.
Seeing the osmanthus cake, Yuan'er's eyes lit up and immediately spread her calves and ran over.
"Thank you, Brother Jingning." Yuan'er said sweetly, with two dimples on her tight little face.
"Yeah." He responded vaguely, and Zhuo Jingning continued to chew the pig's head.
Eating meat is a great pleasure in life.
Yuan'er took a bite, chewed it slowly and swallowed it slowly, suddenly remembering what he saw just now, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Jingning, what are the people who just passed by?"
"Are they?" Zhuo Jingning naturally had discovered the group of people. After all, the sound of suona at night could not be thought about. A strange look appeared in his eyes. After pondering for a moment, he whispered: "It's probably because today's days are unusual."
"What day is today?" Yuan'er blinked her big eyes, looking curious.
Zhuo Jingning stretched out his hand and pointed to the calendar hanging on the wall, but did not speak.
Yuan'er looked over and saw that it was a hand-written calendar book. Today, the page has been turned, and the top four words are: the eighteenth day of the first lunar month.
There is also a line of small characters below: Auspicious days of zodiac signs, it is advisable to marry and tomb repair.
