It was not surprising for Pei Shiqing to hear that title. After all, he was chosen as the groom, and the groom is the soul of the wedding. How could there be no protagonist in a wedding?
Sure enough, in the room, Mao Cheng came out.

His face was very pale, his mouth was a little peeled, and he looked extremely weak. He turned his wrist and staggered.

After Mao Cheng was selected as the bridegroom last night, he was hanged to a big tree outside for no reason, his hands were tied, and his body was suspended in mid-air, and he was tied like that all night.

No matter how he shouted, it was as if he was locked in a completely soundproof place, no one could find him, no one could hear his voice.

In the end he was exhausted and began to quietly wait for death to come.

But he didn't expect Pei Shiqing to notice something when they were picking up the bride, but he still didn't notice himself.

In fact, Mao Cheng was completely desperate, but when the coffin fell to the ground, a gust of wind swept him up, and the hanging rope in his hand was automatically released, and he was sent directly to the room in the small courtyard.

When the villagers saw him, they booed immediately: "Look at the bride! Lift off the hijab!"

Mao Cheng looked at the black coffin placed in the middle of the courtyard, this hijab...you can't say it's the coffin lid, right?
Outside the yard, Pei Shiqing and the others stood in an inconspicuous position, watching Mao Cheng's every move.

Mao Cheng didn't know what he should do, did he really want to lift the lid of the coffin?
After lifting the coffin lid, what will he face?

"Come on!"

"Brother Mao, are you shy?"

The villagers outside the yard watched the excitement, and some people were whistling.

Mao Cheng was cruel, and just about to approach the coffin, the paper figurine holding the photo at the front loosened his hand, and the photo fell directly to the ground.

At this time, the villagers outside were silent, only the noise of the wind blowing through the withered and yellow weeds could be heard.

The black coffin moved by itself, and with the sound of the coffin rubbing against the ground, it crashed into the room directly, drawing a deep mark on the ground.

After the coffin entered the room, the wooden door closed with a "click", leaving only the people outside looking at each other.

One of the villagers said uncertainly: "Did the bride not like Brother Mao?"

The Nan family couple came from behind the crowd and said in unison: "It is unlucky for the bride to see the light, so you will come back at night."

Hearing what they said, the other villagers didn't say anything else, and all scattered back and forth to go home.

There were only a few players left in front of the yard.

"Where are they all?" Mao Cheng searched around, but there were only four players at the moment, so he asked through the courtyard door.

"Dead." Ye Li replied straightforwardly.

"What?" Mao Cheng couldn't believe it, and walked quickly to the gate of the courtyard to meet several people face to face, "How is it possible."

Ye Li shrugged, then pointed to the wall behind the well and said, "I don't know what's going on, he stood on that wall this morning, and when he leaned back, his head and body were separated, all of us Everyone saw it with their own eyes."

Pei Shiqing added from the side, "It may have happened after the selection of the groom last night, and he knocked on our door in the middle of the night."

Bai Cha nodded frantically beside him, "Yeah, he has long hair, so he's not Big Brother Quan at first glance."

Mao Cheng couldn't tell what emotion he was in. If it was last night, wouldn't it be after he was chosen as the groom?
Right now, he's fine, and he's still talking to other players, but everything...

"Okay, tell me where you went? Last night after choosing the groom, you disappeared. I thought you were dead." Ye Li sharp-tongued, and didn't feel that what he said was offensive at all.

Mao Cheng recovered from his self-blame and guilt, pointed to the two big trees at the entrance of the village and said, "After my name was announced last night, I was immediately hung on the big trees at the entrance of the village."

"Ah?" Ye Li looked at the big tree at the entrance of the village in disbelief, and said unexpectedly, "You were hanged from the tree?"

Bai Cha suddenly thought of something, she raised her hand and said, "I remember Sister Pei said when she passed by the big tree just now, she felt like something went through her head, could it be you?"

Mao Cheng nodded, "Yes, I thought you could find me."

Huang Ruoxuan looked puzzled, "Then why are you tied up?"

"I don't know, I was hung up all night, and now I'm exhausted, thirsty and hungry." As he spoke, Mao Cheng licked his chapped lips and swallowed.

"Can you come out?" Ye Li asked, she wondered if Mao Cheng, the groom, could walk out of the yard.

"I'll try." Mao Cheng wanted to push open the yard door, but he couldn't. He wanted to get out of the yard again, but still couldn't.

Ye Li said thoughtfully: "Then it looks like I can't get out."

"It's a pity that there is no fire in this village, so we can only eat what we brought from outside." Huang Ruoxuan said, "Fortunately, I also brought a lot of food, how about I go get it for you?"

Pei Shiqing's eyes turned to the place where the coffin was originally placed in the village. There...how could there be water stains there?

"It seems that this is the only way to go." Mao Cheng said.

Before Huang Ruoxuan could make a move, he heard someone calling their names.

"Qing Wa'er, Cha Wa'er, go home for dinner!" Grandma shouted standing in front of the door.

Pei Shiqing and Bai Cha looked at each other the same way, what did you eat when you got home?

At the intersection on the north slope, the couple also called Ye Li and Huang Ruoxuan.

"Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover." Ye Li looked at the others, and walked back with the couple after speaking.

Pei Shiqing and the two followed grandma back into the house, and when they opened the door, they saw a few white candles on the square wooden table.

"Let's eat." Grandma took a candle and ate it.

This scene is indescribably weird. There is a gray-haired old lady sitting in front of a square table in a dark and dilapidated room. The old lady is holding a white candle for offerings in her hand, eating bite by bite with relish.

Bai Cha was already obedient and wanted to get the candles, but was grabbed by Pei Shiqing, "Grandma, we are not hungry yet, let's go back to the house first!"

"Qing baby, how can you have the strength to fetch water if you don't eat for a while?" Grandma stopped eating the candles and turned to stare at Pei Shiqing.

"Don't worry, grandma, I have strength." Pei Shiqing smiled, "I will definitely not delay fetching water."

After grandma heard this, she really didn't embarrass her.

Pei Shiqing breathed a sigh of relief, and closed the door after entering the hut.

Bai Cha also patted his chest, and said with relief: "I wanted to get the candle just now."

"In short, let's not eat anything in this village." Pei Shiqing said seriously, and then asked, "Is there any food in your backpack?"

Bai Cha nodded repeatedly, then took out a few pieces of bread from his backpack and handed them to Pei Shiqing.

"No, you can keep it for yourself." After finishing speaking, Pei Shiqing took out chocolates and compressed biscuits from his backpack.

She only wanted to know if there was anything to eat for the white tea.

Ever since Pei Shiqing refused, Baicha understood what she meant, and her heart became more and more moved. She ate and said, "It won't be dangerous to fetch water later, right?"
