Snake Tangled Three Dreams

Chapter 36
Sure enough, it was her, the widow who sang tricks.

A young man dressed in wedding clothes stood opposite the sedan chair. The bright red gown was embroidered with cross-neck mandarin ducks, and a red silk flower on his chest was extremely red under the moonlight. With a dull expression, he was unmoved by the bride's tender call.

It turns out that tonight's groom official is Li Heng.

After listening to the conversation between the two mice just now, I am not surprised by this result. The widow has been looking for Heng Lang for so long, isn't it just for this moment.

It's just that she is occupying Mengyue's body now, and she is also marrying Mengyue's fiancé-in-law. Thinking that she didn't know that she might have found the wrong person, she suddenly felt a little ridiculous.

Liu Wangzhi was still standing under the tree with his sleeves hanging down, his body motionless like a pine tree, so I had no choice but to continue watching patiently, slowly watching the changes.

"Go, pick up your bride." The short man only reached Li Heng's waist, with his hands wrapped in the sleeves of his hanging shirt, he touched the wooden groom beside him with his elbow.

I heard that slightly familiar shrill voice, and then I noticed that the short man seemed to be wearing a paper mask on his face, with a familiar white paper background, and two smears of carmine on his cheeks, not the one who was elusive Paper doll old lady, who else could it be?
No wonder he is attached to a weird paper man all day long, because he is a dwarf...

This is just right, he and the widow are both present, so we don't need to search for traces all over the back mountain, which saves trouble.

The groom with a sluggish expression stepped forward slowly, and walked in front of the bride with stiff limbs. Mengyue slightly raised her face to look at him, her eyes were full of sparkles, and a few strands of tassels dangling from the phoenix crown swayed gently in front of her forehead, covering the center of her forehead. The touch of peach blossom tinsel that is lit.

"Heng Lang... am I not dreaming?" She said softly, her cheeks flushed pink, "I have been looking for you for hundreds of years, and I finally meet you again tonight, Heng Lang, are you happy? ?”

Li Heng standing in front of her didn't respond, his eyes were bewildered and empty.

The short man shook his head, picked up the red cloth from the tray in the hands of the squirrel next to him, walked up to the two of them, and handed the red cloth to Mengyue, "Mother Ruan, why don't you even know how to cover your head? You really are not reserved at all. .”

"Take it away, I don't need it." Ruan Niang pushed the red hijab away from his hand, and caressed Li Heng's face with her slender hand, her eyes were full of tenderness, "I wish I could look at Heng Lang's face all the time, this red hijab , don’t wear it.”

"It's up to you." The short man glanced at her, threw the red hijab aside, put his hands back into his sleeves, and urged, "Hurry up and pay homage, let me keep my promise to make your dream come true. Don't forget, this woman It is the bride that the master wants to marry, and what you promised the master, you have to do as you said before."

"Heh, the person the master wants, don't you still move?" Ruan Niang curled her red lips and cast a sideways glance at him.

"Don't talk nonsense, she insisted on throwing herself into my arms, and I didn't take advantage of her." The short man smiled cunningly, and raised his hand to stroke his beard under the mask.

This conversation made me annoyed, secretly cursing these monsters, one or two are really bad things.

"I have already brought all the ghosts, what about after worship?"

"This man can be given to you, but you have to keep the girl from the Bai family."

A look of disappointment appeared on Ruan Niang's face. She stepped forward and took Li Heng's hand, hesitated for a while, and finally nodded, "Okay, I will find another way to save my face. As long as I can be with Heng Lang , I'm not afraid of anything."

She smiled again, and picked up the red silk forged that was dragged to the ground by the groom's hands. The two of them turned slowly from left to right, with big red silk flowers hanging between them. sky.

Seeing the two "newcomers" slowly walking towards the cave, I suppressed my brows and turned to look at Liu Wangzhi, reminding me in a low voice: "They are going in, shouldn't we follow?"

Liu Wangzhi's eyes fell on the ghosts who were gradually entering the table behind, and when he heard the words, he came back to his senses, and the darkness in his eyes gradually sank to the bottom.He made a decision to hide the cat in his hand, and lightly tapped his chin like a jade carving: "Well, let's go."

The cave is decorated with lanterns and festoons, and red silk is hung high, making it a festive scene.

There is a table and chairs in front of the stone wall pasted with Double Happiness, and red candle cakes are placed on the table, presumably it should be Xitang.

The mice rushed into the cave chasing and fighting, and gathered around the cave hall to watch the excitement.Liu Wangzhi and I went up the bamboo ladder to the second floor of the cave, stood side by side on the bamboo aisle, and looked down from the railing.

The short man picked up a tablet with red paper on it from the table and stuffed it into Li Heng's hand, asking him to hold it in his hand to pray for him.I squinted my eyes for a long time before I saw three words written on the red paper: Lord Qianlin.

"Who is Lord Qianlin?" I looked at the tablet in Li Heng's hand and asked.

"It's not difficult to guess." Liu Wangzhi stood with his hands behind his back, his bright eyes slightly drooping, and he could see all the movements in the cave, "Obviously the one who wants to marry your sister."

I was a little startled, so that means, Mr. Qian Lin is the master of this Ruan Niang and the short man, that is, the villain on the back mountain?

So it looks like Ruan Niang and Li Heng are the ones visiting the hall, but they are actually Mengyue and Lord Qianlin.

"Aren't you trying to stop it? If this is worship, wouldn't Mengyue really want to marry that thing?" I don't understand the rules of their monsters, let alone watch Mengyue jump into the fire pit.

Liu Wangzhi still stared at the couple with that indifferent expression, his whole body was as calm as the wind crossing the lake without ripples, "Don't worry, there are countless things to do with this marriage."

Seeing that he was so calm and confident, I tried to calm down and turned my attention downstairs again.

The newcomer was already kneeling in front of the table, and the short man next to him turned his head and told a squirrel what to do, and the squirrel nodded and went out of the cave.

The short man cleared his throat, and sang loudly in his shrill voice: "Bless the world——"

All the ghosts outside the door burst into tears, and the mice inside the cave clapped and clapped their hands, watching the newcomers worship each other in the bright cave mansion after bowing to the heaven and earth hall.

"Licheng-"

Two squirrels stepped forward to support the newcomer, Ruan Niang smiled and raised her sleeves, gently wiping the tears rolling down her cheeks.They picked up the wine glasses presented on the tray, raised their glasses to the surrounding mice and the ghosts outside the cave, and drank the wine with them.

I leaned on the railing and looked at the excitement below, thinking that these monsters would have more atmosphere than us when they got married. Suddenly, from the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of Liu Fangzhi's sleeve moving, and then a small ball of light flashed from his fingertips. It burst out, mixed in the light and shadow of the swaying candles in the hall, and submerged into the back of a squirrel with a "swoosh".

"Are you...?" I turned my head to look at Liu Wangzhi in puzzlement, his expression was as cold as usual, and he slightly curled his lower lip expressionlessly.

Tsk, what he looks like...why does he look so full of bad water?

Before I could ask further, there was a new commotion downstairs.

I saw the squirrel just jumped onto the table, swayed with the jug in its arms and hiccupped, looked at the beautiful bride opposite, and said with a smile: "Ms. Ruan, Mrs. Ruan, you found Heng Lang has been around for so long, don't you plan to tell us your old stories?"

After hearing this, the mice in the cave booed and echoed, urging Ruan Niang to tell them about her and Heng Lang's past.

Ruan Niang held Li Heng, who was like a puppet, still full of joy, her eyes full of tenderness: "Okay, okay, I say, I say. Heng Lang, he is the best man in the world..."

Listening to the familiar beginning, I curled my lips a little bored.

Unexpectedly, what she said was a piece of the past that I had never heard of before.

"Heng Lang loves flowers. I remember that winter snow fell all over the city that year, and the cold wind made his cheeks stiff. Heng Lang was worried that the plum blossoms planted in the yard would be crushed by the snow, so he went to remove the snow from the branches himself regardless of the wind and snow. Gently brush it away. Seeing his cautious appearance, I couldn't help laughing, saying that the plum tree itself is beautiful in the cold and blooms in the snow, so there is no need to feel sorry for it. But Heng Lang said that all things have spirits. If you wrinkle your skirt, you will feel sad and cry." Ruan Niang smiled, and looked up at the mice, "You say, how can people not love his soft heart?"

The squirrels were half-drunk and half-awake, listening with gusto and clamoring for her to continue talking.

Ruan Niang smiled, and continued: "Apart from flowers, Heng Lang likes to read books most on weekdays. The first thing I do when I wake up every morning is to rethink the doubts I wrote down when I read yesterday. If you really can't solve it, take it away." Study together with other students. I often laugh at him as a nerd who knows nothing except studying and growing flowers all day long. Even when asked to drink a glass of wine, he would wave his hand and refuse in a panic, saying that drinking for fun is not what a scholar should do You said, how can he be so lovable with his pedantic appearance?"

The squirrels chattered, saying that reading and writing are the most boring, but eating wine and having fun is the most enjoyable.

I put one hand on the railing, touched the bamboo railing with my fingertips, moved my eyes a little to the right, and sneaked a sneaky glance at the person beside me.

I thought that this Heng Lang sounded like a kind and gentle scholar, no matter how dumb he was, he was still more interesting than some people who only had a little warmth during the time spent together in Wushan, but who were indifferent all day long Bar?

Ruan Niang glanced at the noisy squirrels, leaned her head lightly on Li Heng's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Heng Lang is good, there is no other thing that can replace it, not to mention that after he married me, he treated me even more. It’s so enviable. He will draw my eyebrows and hair every day, and he will learn to accompany me to drink and admire the moon. Even if he comes back late every day, he will not forget to cross half of the city to buy me my favorite pastries. ..."

She straightened up from Li Heng's shoulders, gently stroking Li Heng's face with her jade hand, shaking the wine glass with the other hand, with an intoxicated expression, "My Heng Lang... is the best man in the world."

All the rats were still sighing for this marriage, when suddenly a golden light flashed, and with a "crack", the wine glass in Ruan Niang's hand fell suddenly, and the porcelain shattered to the ground.

I froze for a moment, turned my head to look to the side in amazement, and saw Liu Wangzhi flicking his sleeves, his brows were indifferent: "Such a good match is indeed admirable. But... are you sure what you just said is true?" Your Heng Lang?"
