Welcome to Infinite Nightmare

Chapter 122

After the man's eyes were blocked, he looked at the few people and smiled slightly, and said, "You just went to the hall to worship, why did you come to the backyard?"

Xiao Wuji looked at the smiling man in front of him and said, "We came here to find Wenjie's parents when we saw no one there."

Just now at the ancestral hall, he saw a man and the village head getting close, probably relatives, Xiao Wuji thought it might be the village head who came to visit this family on behalf of others, and he had to prevent this man from finding out that they were strange.

Duan Miaomiao poked her head out from behind and looked at the man in front of her. She always felt a sense of disobedience, but she couldn't tell, as if the man was hiding something.

The man raised the corners of his mouth and asked jokingly: "Several friends who say they are Wenjie's friends, why didn't you see some of them interacting with Wenjie before they were alive?"

Xiao Wuji was taken aback by the sudden words, a little caught off guard, and reflexively turned his gaze to Mu Cen behind him. The latter received the call for help and said to the man, "What does our relationship have to do with you and our conflicts?"

Seeing the sparks in Mu Cen's words, Xiao Wuji was a little anxious, but the man raised his eyebrows and waved his hands indifferently, saying, "Okay, I took the liberty."

Xiao Wuji hurriedly shook his head to explain.

But the man just nodded and said, "These guys take a good look at Wenjie, and I won't bother you."

After speaking, he bypassed several people and walked out of Dong's house, walking towards the village head's house.

Duan Miaomiao saw the back of the man leaving, she stood up straight and walked out from behind Qi Luyi, and said, "Why is this npc so weird, he doesn't answer some questions, and his tone is so unfriendly."

Xiao Wuji nodded and echoed, "That's right, I was scared to death just now, and thought he suspected us."

The few people didn't take the episode just now into their hearts. After visiting the backyard, they didn't find anything wrong. It was as festive and weird as the hall.

If there is something wrong, it may be the Dong couple. Duan Miaomiao recalled the eyes of the couple just now. Although the surface was full of pain and sorrow for the loss of their youngest son, there was an inexplicable feeling in their eyes... excited.

That look made Duan Miaomiao feel very complicated and his scalp was numb. This is the second time that this Dong family has made Duan Miaomiao feel uncomfortable after the two paper children.

A few people left the Dong's house very quickly, and walked towards their own house. The sky was getting dark, Duan Miaomiao always felt that the village looked calm, but she couldn't guarantee that something terrible would happen at night, so she proposed to go home first , to the "parents" routine.

Qi Lu nodded in agreement. He looked at Duan Miaomiao and was a little worried, but none of the people present could take Duan Miaomiao home. It has always been a tradition to be different between men and women. Besides, in this feudal era, once they are found out, they will end up One can imagine.

Duan Miaomiao bears the identity of the bride, it is dangerous to go anywhere, only at home is safe.

Duan Miaomiao rolled her eyes, she patted Qi Luyi on the shoulder, and said: "It's okay, those two women locked me up because they said I resisted, as long as I go back obediently, in case there is a turnaround, they will be fine. Lock me up again, and I'll run out again."

She broke into a smile, wanting to reassure Qi Luyi, she was about to arrive at Duan's house, she urged them to go back quickly, see you at the ancestral hall tomorrow, and be careful at night.

Qi Lu pondered for a moment, then said: "Okay, be careful in everything, there must be something to advance the development of the plot at night, so be careful."

Xiao Wuji, who watched the whole process from the side, had black lines all over his face, and said weakly, "Well, don't you guys have anything to say to me?"

Duan Miaomiao heard his voice, put away her smile and glanced at the calm and reliable Mu Cen behind Xiao Wuji, forced a smile at Xiao Wuji, and said, "Hehe, you just need to play normally."

Xiao Wuji immediately wanted to beat up this woman who valued sex and despised friends, but when he thought of her as a bride, he sympathetically endured the humiliation.

After Duan Miaomiao bid farewell to the three of them, she returned to Duan's house. As soon as she came to the hall, she saw an old couple sitting on a chair, their faces were not well, there was anger in their eyes, and the white "囍" on their heads , It can be said that it is full of bad luck.

Duan Miaomiao took a deep breath, brewing emotions, threw herself on her mother who was in the nightmare, and cried: "Why did you lock me up, I'm so hungry today, it's better to come out to find something to eat, I've already I know I'm wrong, I will marry, don't lock me up, woo woo woo..."

Duan Yunlei, who was about to get angry, saw this scene as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his head. There was nowhere to vent his anger. He coughed lightly and said, "Where did you go?"

Mother Sang Huai looked at her daughter who was crying so hard in her arms, feeling a little helpless, touched her daughter's head, gave her husband a disapproving look, and said softly, "I'm sorry, Miaomiao, you shouldn't be locked up, it's ours." Wrong, it's a good thing you can think about it, look up, don't cry your face."

Duan Miaomiao didn't move, thinking, I can't lift my head up, lest you see my tearless face, or the performance here for a long time will be in vain.

Sang Huai thought his daughter was acting like a spoiled child, and said, "Don't cry, it will be your birthday soon, don't make your face look ugly."

Duan Miaomiao: Hehe, wait here for me.

Duan Miaomiao's mother died of illness since she was a child, and she grew up dependent on her father. She almost forgot her mother's appearance and the temperature of her mother's palms, but no matter how gentle the mother in this nightmare was, Duan Miaomiao still couldn't feel it. to warm.

After all, what tender mother would send her daughter to marry the dead?

Duan Miaomiao gestured to wipe away tears, raised her head, and looked at the unfamiliar parents in front of her, as if looking at two paper figurines.

Duan Yunlei looked at Duan Miaomiao's calm face, thinking that she had compromised and no longer resisted, his face softened a little, and he said seriously: "This is a tradition that our village has always adhered to. It cannot be defeated by our Duan family, otherwise it will be punished." An indelible punishment, Miao Miao, this is your life, and you should bear it."

Duan Miaomiao thought in her heart, I can go to you, my life is good, why should I suffer, but on the surface he nodded quietly.

She stood up and pulled a chair to sit beside Sang Huai, and asked tentatively: "...Did our family find anything? Who do you want to give it to?"

She really couldn't call her parents, so she turned a corner and asked, she observed the eyes of the couple carefully, and sure enough, after listening to the words, a familiar excitement flashed in her eyes, and there was an indescribable strange light .

Sang Huai hid the smile in his eyes, and said softly: "Silly boy, our Duan family doesn't need to look for things on your big celebration day, and we will dedicate the things found by other families to us. Dedicated to them."

"Then why do you have to offer something? Who is specifying what to find?" Duan Miaomiao asked.

Sang Huai replied patiently: "This is a tradition that our Wangxi Village has always adhered to. It started a long time ago. I don't know too well. It seems that there is a bride..."

Suddenly Duan Yunlei next to him coughed and interrupted Sang Huai's words. The latter seemed to know what he said wrong, and his face turned pale and he quickly shut up.

Duan Miaomiao was a little puzzled, and Sang Huai looked into her daughter's curious eyes and said, "Oh, why is my daughter so curious all of a sudden, all you have to do is to prepare for the big celebration day."

Duan Miaomiao did not give up, and continued to ask: "Then tell me how did you know what you are looking for?"

"The villagers didn't know what they were looking for on the Daqing Day before, but now the village chief has a treasure that can give us hints of things, which is of great help to us."

Sang Huai's eyes were full of respect for the village chief.
