Su Xiangsheng turned his head and saw Ning Su staring at the floor.
Su Xiangsheng followed his line of sight and looked
over. It should be the place where the bride kowtowed.
The floor was black, and because of its color, the
blood from the bride’s kowtow was not very obvious, so he couldn’t see it
clearly.
Suddenly, he saw Ning Su sniffling. “It smells so
familiar.”
Su Xiangsheng: “?”
Did you a have dog’s nose? What kind of
familiar flavor could you smell?
“Guests, the wedding banquet is ready. Please take your
seats.”
As soon as Ning Su finished speaking, the village elder brother came over.
Su Xiangsheng: “...”
So this familiar smell was the aroma of a wedding
banquet?
The elder brother came to take them to the wedding
banquet, and it seemed impossible to go to the slaughterhouse immediately.
After watching this wedding, the players’ moods became
more complicated and their heads became more confused.
Weren’t they supposed to find clues if they took part
in the wedding?
They didn’t expect the wedding to take so long. It was
already the afternoon of the second day. After the wedding, not only did they
not get any useful clues, but their thoughts became even more chaotic.
There were only three days left, and if they couldn’t
solve the secret of the village, they would all die.
The players were uncontrollably irritable.
There was only one exception.
Ning Su was still in the mood to chat with the village
elder brother.
The elder brother asked Ning Su gently: “Are you
tired? The wedding lasted longer that expected.”
“That’s right, I didn’t expect the groom to have so many relatives.”
The elder brother rubbed his head embarrassedly,
probably because he also went up to give the bride a red envelope.
“Although there are quite many people in our village
now, in fact, there are only five surnames, and there are only a few families
in the ancestors, all of whom are related.”
Ning Su looked at him with probing eyes. “Which five
families?”
The young man’s neck was long and thin, the skin was also
very white and pale. The blue-purple winding blood vessels were clearly
visible. When he asked, black objects could be faintly seen in the thin blood
vessels.
The elder brother approached him uncontrollably, “Wang,
Li, Zhao, Sun and Wu.”
“Oh.” Ning Su stepped away and walked straight forward.
The elder brother seemed to have some kind of
clinginess, and he couldn’t leave Ning Su alone, talking to him in various ways
as they walked, so Ning Su sat down later than the other players.
This big table was prepared for foreign guests. It was
filled with sumptuous dishes, especially meat, and there was a whole roast
suckling pig in the middle.
When the players saw the meat, they thought of the
black dog again, and the system’s reminder about “all beings are equal” rang in
their minds again. Staring at the roast suckling pig, their brains had diverged
to “could this suckling pig be a human?” , they became uneasy one by one.
Especially the thin monkey.
He finally calmed down, and the abundance of meat on
the table made him anxious again.
He was angry when he saw that Ning Su could still chat
with a villager leisurely. “You still have the mood to chat with him. Do you
know dungeons are really deadly? Can you take this seriously?!”
Ning Su leisurely sat down, seeing the black robe beside him. He still
hadn’t given up his dream of hugging the other’s thigh to pass this dungeon
level, and explained: “I’m not just chatting. Out of this village, there are
only five surnames: Wang, Li, Zhao, Sun, and Wu.”
The thin monkey sneered: “And so what...”
“Shut up! Stop being shameful!” The black robe
interrupted the thin monkey coldly and frowned pensively.
The thin monkey was at a loss. He really didn’t think
this was any useful news. What was it useful for?
After listening to Ning Su’s words, Su Xiangsheng said
to Chen Tian: “It seems that Yin Daijun, the woman who died in the villa, was
also married from another place, and that clue matches this wedding.”
Chen Tian nodded. “Let’s wait for Chen Qing and Shuangshuang to come back
and see if they found something.”
***
Zhu Shuangshuang and Chen Qing, together with the
bridesmaid, helped the fainted bride to the bed in the wedding room.
The doctor in the village was at the wedding, as if he
had expected this and was ready at any time. He was treating the wound on the
bride’s forehead.
The three girls stood aside and waited.
Chen Qing, who was standing beside the bridesmaid,
turned her head and met the face of the other. Chen Qing was stunned, and
murmured: “Miss sister, you are so good-looking, it’s a pity not to be a star.”
The bridesmaid covered her mouth and smiled , “What, how can I be so
good-looking?”
Chen Qing: “Yes, what does the young lady do for work?
You can rely on your face for a living.”
“I opened a pet shop.” The bridesmaid pursed her lips.
Opening her moist red lips, she said, “Occasionally, I also do live broadcast.”
Hearing “Pet Shop,” Chen Qing’s eyes deepened, “As I
said, your face can’t just be wasted.”
The bridesmaid smiled and said nothing.
The bride woke up, and she asked, “Where is my husband?
Did I affect the wedding?”
Zhu Shuangshuang said angrily, “They made you kowtow
thousands of times, and you are still worried about the wedding?”
The bride said, smiling weakly, “They didn’t target me.
My husband told me before that there are some feudal customs in their village.
My husband’s ex-girlfriend broke up because their astrological signs don’t match.”
Zhu Shuangshuang said reluctantly: “You still mention your husband, you
fainted and your husband didn’t come to help you, does he really love you?”
“He loves me very much.” The bride said stubbornly and affirmatively. “He loves me, and I love him, too. No matter how many rules there are in Huaiyang Village, I will abide by them and be with him.” The bride looked out the window and said, “You don’t know what he means to me.”
A layer of red gauze covered the bride's forehead, and
she had bitten off some of the lipstick on her lips, but her eyes were full of
light.
“I was born in a poor village. There are five children
in my family. I am the oldest. No matter what I do, my parents give me very
little attention. I came out to work after graduating from junior high school.
I can only do some low-cost jobs, being bullied by guests in the hotel, and
under the pressure of the manager, I have to bend down to apologize to the
guests.”
“I always thought it would always be like that, until one day, I was forced
to follow a guest to apologize. My husband rushed up and beat that guest.”
The bride still had a sweet and happy smile when she
thought about what had happened a long time ago.
“He told me that’s not the case. He said that I deserve
to be loved.” The bride turned to look at Zhu Shuangshuang: “That’s what he
did. He took me to the amusement park, taught me how to cook, and helped me
take and study different interest classes.”
“He is not one of those customers who just wants to
take advantage of me, and he didn’t even touch me before marriage. He respects
me and loves me.”
Zhu Shuangshuang looked at the light in her eyes and
was speechless for a while.
***
When the two girls came to the banquet, Ning Su was
sullen.
Zhu Shuangshuang felt strange, because Ning Su had
never acted like this before. Only to find out after asking that it was because
other players didn’t let him eat meat.
Seeing that other people ate green vegetables, Ning Su
said with a stern face: “Since we are not allowed to eat meat, why eat
vegetables? All living beings are equal. Is the life of a plant not important?
Or are you just discriminating?”
Players eating vegetables: “...”
Zhu Shuangshuang chuckled, and when Ning Su picked up
the knife and fork and flicked at the suckling pig, she stuffed a few candies
into his pocket.
It was a wedding candy given out in church. Each player
had six candies, and they were gone after eating.
Ning Su looked at Zhu Shuangshuang suspiciously, Zhu
Shuangshuang said: “I asked Chen Qing for hers last night.”
Ning Su: “For me?”
Zhu Shuangshuang smiled: “Of course.”
Ning Su put down the knife and fork. Staring at the
candy in his pocket, he peeled a candy and put it in his mouth, and whispered
“thank you”.
Seeing that he gave up eating meat, Chen Tian felt
relieved. He glanced at the black robe and said, “We are running out of time.
Fortunately, after the wedding banquet, there should be no compulsory
activities. We can explore freely.”
“Let’s eat something quickly to deal with hunger. While eating, we listened
to Chen Qing and Shuangshuang talk about the news they found, and then rushed
to the slaughterhouse to save the fat man if he can still be saved.”
Everyone had no objection and rushed to the
slaughterhouse after eating a few mouthfuls of food in a hurry.
Thanks for the update!! 🤣🤣
