Seven Evil Slips Chapter 8:

When it was close to noon, Kiyo went to take a shower and took a hair dryer to dry her hair. She wanted to go back to the inn early, but later, Cao Yanhua called Luo Ren and said that she would come back later if she could. Well, when you come back, you get in the way.

The sound of the hair dryer is buzzing, and many pictures from last night, accompanied by this sound, suddenly flashed through my mind, my forearm and legs trembled like an electric shock, I couldn't help but go to the sink, afraid that a wrong **** would make me cry Waddled.

In the middle of blowing, Luo Ren came in and hugged her from behind.

The first physical contact after waking up, Kiyo was flustered, his hands trembled, and he pushed down the switch of the blower.

The sound of electrical appliances disappeared, and the bathroom became quiet. The fragrance after the bath was still there, and occasionally there was the sound of dripping water from the shower head.

Luo Ren asked her: "What's wrong?"

Kiyo didn't know how to answer, so he said after a long time, "It's a little... weird."

"Don't like it?"

She whispered, "No."

Luo Ren laughed, took the hair dryer from her hand and put it beside her, leaned over her body, and said, "Come, see me."

Muyo refused, she still felt awkward, buried her head low, Luo Ren didn't force her, hugged her in his arms, put his chin against her forehead, gently stroked her half-wet hair, and said: "Little girl."

Kiyo's nose suddenly became sore, and it took a long time before she reached out to wrap her arms around Luo Ren. She had never been so close to anyone, so close that she couldn't find herself.

This person, from the tense moment when they first met, to the moment when he is willing to follow him, he still doesn't understand how everything happened.

A kind of melancholy that made her cling to this embrace and didn't want to let go.

Luo Ren let her go and didn't say much. He handled her emotions as if he had the perfect measure.

In life, encountering such a person is actually a kind of stumble, one plunges into it, and can't get up again, but the ground is soft, it doesn't make her head bleed, sad, and she is never thin Treat her, let her fall willingly.

Unexpectedly, Kiyo asked: "Luo Xiaodao, do you like me?"

Luo Ren said: "This kind of question is usually asked beforehand, not afterward."

Ask beforehand, rely on something, ask afterwards, let others rely on you.

Kiyo looked up at him, the corners of his eyes were a little wet, his eyes were stubborn and innocent.

Luo Ren looked at her for a long time before saying: "Later today, I will marry the girl I love the most. Do you think I like her?"

***

Back to the inn, it was already afternoon and dusk.

From a distance, I saw the word "囍" pasted on the half-open door, and a red lantern hung tremblingly on the door hook.

When I entered the door, the lanterns dangling on the top reflected a blush on my cheeks.

The decoration inside is almost complete, with big red happy characters, ribbons pulled up, and pink balloons tied on high places. The conditions are limited, and some preparations are cramped and simple, but they are full of festive meaning.

On the table in the bar, a lily is inserted into each thin-mouthed bottle. For this, Mrs. Mao even suggested to Wansan, and Wansan spread her hands and said, "Sister-in-law, of course I know." The color of roses is stronger, but special problems are solved specially, Luo Ren and the little proprietress don't like roses."

There is a shed in the yard, and there is a long bartending table next to it. It is written on the invitation that the best man, 13,000, will present a professional-level bartending performance to the guests in the middle of the wedding banquet, what b52 bomber, screwdriver , Dream Leman Lake, will also launch a heavyweight homemade, xxxx.

There are two large round tables under the shed. It is said that except for the people who originally planned to invite, all the guests staying in the hotel have received invitations-people are always willing to witness happy moments, even though the bridesmaid Yan Hongsha said that no gift money was sent when she sent the invitations. Just open it and eat it, but some people still stuffed red envelopes, and some guests went out shopping, saying they wanted to buy special gifts for the newlyweds.

The hired chef is already in place in the kitchen. Various ingredients and dishes for the wedding banquet are spread out from the house. The preparations for steaming, frying and frying are in full swing.

The small glass bookstore has been turned into a special music stage - there are many road singers in the ancient city who are carrying speakers on their backs. Brother Mao dragged two of them in and was in charge of the music control of the wedding banquet. The two were warming up, holding the guitar and tuning , singing with the lyrics of "I'm going to marry you tomorrow".

——"Today I will marry you, today I will marry you... la..."

He sang affectionately with an intoxicated expression on his face. The two big men had spring breeze on their brows. Brother Mao was inevitably worried, fearing that they would overwhelm the host: Who is going to marry who today...

Suddenly a little boy came running in the distance, wearing a glittering mandarin jacket of a small landlord from the Qing Dynasty, with a melon cap on his head, calling: "Aunt Pocket!"

It turned out to be Yue Xiaofeng, Kiyo couldn't laugh or cry, he bent down and picked him up, his small melon skin hat was a bit big, it was buckled on his head crookedly, always covering his eyes.

According to the ceremony planned by the magic stick, there must be a little flower girl at the wedding, and when the bride throws the bouquet, Yue Xiaofeng has to take the bouquet to the stage and hand it to Kiyo.

When renting clothes, the owner recommended a small tuxedo for children, but the **** stick refused to agree because the clothes were bumpy.

He said that it doesn't matter, his son is born handsome, and he will never be covered up by the gloomy clothes.

"Aunt Pocket, where have you been, I can't find you."

Say a word, reach out and push the hat twice.

Kiyo kissed his little cheek, before he had time to speak, the magic stick hurried over: "Yue Xiaofeng, focus on rehearsing, today you are the protagonist, do you understand the big star!"

The kung fu of the magic stick is still as good as ever.

Yue Xiaofeng played a trick: "Oh, I'm tired."

The magic stick said: "Then I changed, I asked other children to do it!"

Yue Xiaofeng struggled for two seconds between rest and stardom, twisted his body and got down, while pushing his hat and kicking, he followed the magic stick to the field, and the magic stick bent all the way to play for him : "When the time comes, you just go from there, walk there, and give the flowers to your auntie pocket..."

The corners of Kishiro's eyes were a little wet, and his heart swelled with warmth. He asked Brother Mao who was passing by, "Is it all arranged by the magic stick?"

"Him?" Brother Mao sneered, "He just got married. The rest..."

He pointed to Luo Ren who was not far away and explained something to Wansan: "Your Luo Xiaodao led the way, saying that even if the conditions are limited, you must try to have as much as possible. The more lively the better. This treat, buy Things, decorations, everything needs money, I don’t know you well, so I can’t afford subsidies, he doesn’t spend money, whoever is in a hurry.”

"The idea is all from your friend. It is said that the three of them had a meeting and discussed it all afternoon. There must be a ceremony. Everyone must have a program and a performance..."

As she was talking, she was interrupted by Mrs. Mao who rushed over: "The bride is back, hurry up and get ready in the room, let others be busy when you should be busy, and you are in charge of Meimei, that's fine."

She pushed Mudai back to the room, in the Fengtang room, she was dressed in a new dress, it was today's wedding room, and it was also a wedding room.

Before entering the door, Kiyo couldn't help but turn his head to take a panoramic view of the bustling scene in the yard.

——Yue Xiaofeng was rehearsing, chattering, walking over, walking over, reaching out to push the melon cap from time to time.

——Shen stick held a folder in his hand, yes, I don't know where he got a folder, and it was filled with dense words, and he was confirming the process with Cao Yanhua beside him.

"Fatty Cao, after I speak, it will be your show, magic show, 2xxxx!"

——On the opposite roof, Yan Hongsha suddenly stood up, with the pull ring of the sliding rope behind her, and a colored paper cannon on her waist, stretching and twisting her waist, saying: "I'm coming, I'm coming Already."

She opened her arms, like a bird, and slid straight down the long rope stretched on the roof. Halfway through, the long rope was pressed down and she hung in the middle, laughing, and then from Holding the **** on his waist, he pulled the ring and shouted: "A hundred years!"

Amidst the bang, the magic stick stomped: "You have to slide over! Just slide over!"

Cao Yanhua, who had dropped a colored tape, said slowly: "I have never seen such a beautiful 3xxxx."

…

***

Fengtangjian.

The room has been decorated, and the sheets and quilts have been replaced with new ones. Mrs. Mao is guarding the door outside, asking her to change clothes.

I didn't prepare a formal dress, but I brought a new set of clothes before I came.

Black oxford pencil pants, milky white cashmere low-neck sweater, after putting on, I looked in the mirror and stomped anxiously.

After receiving the news, Luo Ren quickly came over and had a good word with Mrs. Mao before he was let into the room. In the room, Kiyo pointed at the neckline anxiously: "Look! Look!"

It's all his marks, the neckline, the back of the neck.

Luo Ren said: "It's okay, it's called mechanical purpura. The main cause is that subcutaneous microvessels bleed when they encounter strong suction or rubbing. It's not fatal."

Kiyo angrily hit him with a pillow.

Luo Ren laughed and pulled her into his arms: "Anyway, the wedding is at night, so I can't see you."

Nonsense again.

At the end, Luo Ren spread her hair to cover the back of her neck, and dragged a few strands to her chest, and pulled out the sailor's whistle with pearls to hang on the edge of the neckline.

Barely covered.

Kiyo is worried: "Do you want to wear a scarf?"

"Do you want to hide it?"

She bit her lip: "Then... Is it too late to buy a set?"

Luo Ren looked out of the window, where the sky was getting darker, the lights in the yard started to turn on, and the voices gradually became louder, and Mrs. Mao knocked on the door outside: "The groom can't stay any longer, next, we can only let him go." It's a female guest."

Kiyo accepted his fate, and pushed Luo Ren out: "Let's go."

***

According to Mrs. Mao, according to the local rules, when the groom comes to marry, there must be several types of female guests to accompany the bride.

One is an unmarried girl, considered a bridesmaid or best friend.

The second is the new wife who has not been married for a long time. It is best to have given birth to a little guy.

The third is the hostess who has been running the family for many years. She is mature and steady, representing a long and long future.

Coincidentally, several kinds can be gathered together.

Kiyo finally met Ji Tangtang.

The appearance is the kind of beauty that makes people feel comfortable, and the age is hard to say. At first glance, Kiyo feels that he is not much different from himself.

But her eyes are different, there is a kind of calmness in her eyes, when she looks at people, she has a soft smile, and her gestures have the gentleness of a woman at home.

But Yan Hongsha quietly whispered to Muyo, and said: "The magic stick said in the morning that Yue Xiaofeng's mother is very mysterious, and she was negotiating with a female ghost at the table last night..."

Kiyo was taken aback: "Female ghost?"

"No." Yan Hongsha couldn't tell.

She heard bits and pieces from the magic stick that it was a woman named Sheng Ying who lived in the body of Ji Tangtang's friend Shi Jiaxin after she died with lingering grievances.

It was two people who shared the skin, but somehow Sheng Ying gained the upper hand. A man's body, speaking and doing things, is no different from a hostile and vicious woman. Under the pain, Shi Jiaxin didn't know what to do For a solution, ask Ji Tangtang for help.

Yan Hongsha was stunned: "She said that her face darkened, and she slapped that man over and knocked over, saying, if you don't want to live, I will send you to die, and half of the place will be allocated for you to live in, so you have to understand the rules .”

Really? Kiyo secretly looked at Ji Tangtang, like a gentle sister, completely unable to imagine what it would be like when he was angry.

Yue Xiaofeng quarreled at the door: "I want to go in too. Mom has gone in, and Aunt Pocket has gone in too. I want to go in too..."

Yue Feng's voice came: "Yue Xiaofeng, it is stipulated that only women can enter. Are you Yue Xiaofeng or Yue Xiaotang? Just say that you are Yue Xiaotang, and I will let you in."

It was silent, and Kiyo wanted to laugh, and he imagined Yue Xiaofeng pushing the melon skin hat with his mouth pouted.

In the end, it is estimated that Yue Xiaofeng won.

***

Brides need makeup.

Yan Hongsha spread out the newly bought makeup box and looked carefully at Kiyo: "Let me see, I should put on lipstick to look energetic, and I should also put on eyeshadow so that the eyes look good..."

She was suddenly a little strange, and felt that Kiyo in front of her was more beautiful than usual, and it was not accurate to say that she was beautiful, but there was a kind of provocative softness, her eyes were clear, her lips were extremely delicate, and she looked at the colors of the lipstick plate one by one. None of them looked as good as her own lip color.

Whoever wants to be a bride will indeed become beautiful.

Ji Tangtang also came over to help her take a closer look, his eyes inadvertently caught her neckline, and paused for a while.

Kiyo felt it keenly, his face flushed instantly, and his lowered hand clutched the hem of his clothes.

Ji Tangtang took the brush head calmly, dipped in the eyebrow powder to help her lighten the brows, and while others were not paying attention, asked her in a low voice: "Is there 24 hours for that mark?"

Kiyo's heart suddenly jumped, and when she called her out, he became less nervous. Because of the secret sharing, he suddenly felt that she was kind, and replied in a low voice: "No."

Ji Tangtang hummed, then turned to look at Mrs. Mao: "Sister-in-law, let the kitchen cook two eggs for me."

Yan Hongsha heard it and said, "Give me one too, I'm hungry too."

The eggs came soon, Ji Tangtang peeled one while it was hot, wrapped it in gauze and handed it to Kiyo: "Roll it where there is silt."

Kiyo turned sideways, trying to avoid the eyes of Yan Hongsa and the others, and asked her in a low voice: "Does it work?"

It's strange, I always feel that when Ji Tangtang asked this question, he suddenly lost his mind for a moment, as if he remembered something, then, with a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, he said, "I think it's quite useful."

***

The time is counting down, and there is even more noise outside. There are people whistling and booing. Mrs. Mao went out once, and when she came back, she conveyed the wedding ceremony process explained by the magic stick: "We don't make it too complicated, and we don't block the door. What kind of thing, when the time is up, Luo Ren will come to pick you up, you just open the door and follow him, and you don't have to worry about the rest."

Don't worry about it, but I'm a little nervous. When I think of so many people, people I know and I don't know, all looking at her, she feels panicked.

Brother Mao knocked on the door outside and said, "There is something wrong, my family is here."

Maternal family? Aunt Hong? Kiyo was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.

It's the big brother Zheng Mingshan.

"I want to see Muyo, I said it, on behalf of Shimen, I have something to say separately. The people inside have cleared the place."

It is to clear the field. At this time, the family of the mother is the largest.

Except for Kiyo, everyone else came out. When the door opened, the lights outside were shining brightly, the joy was wrapped in the smell of wine, and there was also the smell of a big meal that was about to be served, which made people feel a little drunk.

Ji Tangtang walked last, and when he went out, he winked at Kiyo, as if reminding her not to forget to cover up.

Then turn your head.

A person came to meet her, with a stocky but not imposing figure, with steady steps and a heavy aura, and passed her by.

Ji Tangtang stopped suddenly, his hanging fingertips trembled slightly, his palms were soaked in fine sweat.

For a moment, everything in front of my eyes suddenly silenced, as if I was in an empty training ground, and my face felt dull pain, which was just received a punch.

Besides, a man yelled at her.

——"You pig, didn't I teach you how to fight?"

——"You only have half a year to kill two or three men, not two or three cocks! I don't have that time for you to digest!"

A long period of days that she did not deliberately forget but has faded away, like clouds piled up in the sky, blown to her by a sudden strong wind.

Those days, she thought they were all in the past, but it turns out that the past will never die, and it hasn't even passed.

The lights were shining brightly, turning into a little sparkle in her eyes. She didn't know that before Zheng Mingshan entered the door, he suddenly looked back at her.

Suddenly Yue Feng's face appeared in front of her eyes, shaking his hands in front of her eyes, and asked her: "Daughter-in-law, are you stupid?"

Ji Tangtang reacted.

She has been standing here for a long time.

Yue Feng smiled, didn't ask her what's wrong, just stretched out his hand, held her cold hand, and put it into his pocket.

There is a feeling of tugging and hugging on the calf, and looking down, it is Yue Xiaofeng, a small landlord from the Qing Dynasty. He hugged her leg with both hands, looked up at her, and said, "Mom, are you stupid?"

The melon cap covered his eyes again, and his small eyelashes fluttered under the brim.

Ji Tangtang laughed, and said to Yue Feng: "Tonight, I will probably drink a few more glasses of wine and respect a few more people. If you get drunk, you have to carry me home."

Yue Feng said: "Otherwise? If I don't recite it, who will recite it?"

Yue Xiaofeng raised his head: "Me! Me!"

Yue Feng looked down at him and kicked his little butt: "Go to the side, carry your own wife on your back."

He pulled Ji Tangtang into the table, Yue Xiaofeng stood where he was, stretched out his hand and pushed his melon skin hat, full of anger.

"I don't have them yet!"

***

Zheng Mingshan brought a set of dowry to Kiyo.

Wrapped in red silk cloth, on the satin surface, one side is embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water, and the other side is celestial maiden scattered flowers, all of which are auspicious and happy.

The silk fabric is a little faded, with a breath of time.

Kiyo opens carefully.

It is a set of silver jewelry, which has been placed for a long time, and the silver surface is covered with oxidized gray. If you spread it out carefully, there are collars, bracelets, rings, earrings, pendants, collar flowers, and cufflinks.

Almost all silver ornaments have indented plum patterns.

Kiyo realized it all at once.

Zheng Mingshan nodded: "There is only one thing missing, the plum blossom silver hairpin. You know, Master has worn it for a lifetime, so I let Master take it down too."

"Very early on, Master told me that this is a set of wedding jewelry made by a silversmith with excellent craftsmanship. It is silver and not worth much. But when you get married, you still hope to give it Here you are.”

"Master is gone now, I will pass it on."

Laughter came from outside the house, and Kiyo's eyes suddenly blurred.

Zheng Mingshan patted her on the shoulder: "It's okay, Master has never been cowardly or wronged in his life. She is satisfied with accepting you as a closed disciple. She won the last battle and walked away with a smile."

"There is a sentence, I ask you, and I also ask you on behalf of the master."

Kiyo's heart shuddered, he wiped himself dry and sat upright, straightening his back.

"Master said, kid Kiyo always asks me, Master, do I look good? Do I make people afraid? I like to wear black clothes and hang a skull on the necklace, saying that I want to let myself It looks cool, has aura, is calm, kills people invisible, and is arrogant and domineering towards the whole world."

Kiyo smiled with tears in his eyes. Is this her? It seems to be her dream in the past. There is an old saying in Jianghu that "become famous and Liwan". People look high and make people awe-inspiring.

"Master asks you, do you still want to do this now?"

Kiyo shook his head.

It's not that she wants or doesn't want to, but, it doesn't matter anymore, she is already standing in a completely different position.

Zheng Mingshan laughed.

"Master said, tell Kiyo that we martial arts learners are all with breath in our bodies, and not only those who learn martial arts, everyone, with breath in our bodies, go to face the world with our own strength. "

"How big is this world?"

"Don't try to show off to the world, show your face, show off your strength, or lose your temper. If you try to show your power to it, it will only vent your anger. The world is so big, how much air you pour on it, it will take in as much. When the sky returns, it’s hard to guard against it. In the end, your spirit is weak, and you will only be dragged away by it.”

"You have to draw in, take your time, and when your spirit is calm, the spirit of this world will not overwhelm you. You have your own pace, be humble to this world, and it will give you back, what you want , will come naturally.”

Kiyo said softly: "Brother, everything is fine with me."

…

Amidst the silence, the voices outside the house suddenly stirred.

Is it time? Kiyo raised his head, and Yan Hongsa's voice had already reached the door: "Kiyo Kiyo, open the door, let's start!"

There is also Cao Yanhua: "Little master, the bride is going to meet someone, don't hide."

It really started. I spent an afternoon waiting for it, but when it arrived suddenly, I still felt caught off guard.

Kiyo's throat was dry, and he stood up, thinking of so many people outside the house, his calf suddenly trembled with tension.

Zheng Mingshan said: "Come."

He took Kiyo's hand, the palm was thick, warm and strong, and sent her to the door.

Kiyo reached out to turn the doorknob, and quickly turned it to the end.

She looked up at Zheng Mingshan.

Zheng Mingshan said: "Go. Life is so long and there are so many hurdles. This is one way, and there will be countless ways in the future. Keep calm and come one way."

Calm down, come one by one, pass the hurdles, and face the world.

Kiyo smiled, and opened the door.

(End)

【Postscript】

At the same moment, Fengziling.

Cao Jiefang is alone, ah no, a chicken, with a serious look on his face, abandoning his pheasant partner who usually plays with him, and also abandoning the little golden pheasant who has a crush on it and loves it frequently. Go up to the high platform in the middle of Fengziling.

It's getting colder, and the snow on the top of the mountain is getting thicker and thicker. It hasn't melted for many days. In the night, the huge Fengziling mountain top is covered with snow, and the quiet phoenix with white head.

On the neck, two small signs jingled.

——A good chicken.

——Cao Yanhua's chicken.

It walked around the edge of the platform cliff a few times, then stopped suddenly, facing the rising moon behind the ridge, exerting all its strength so that the feathers on its wings were twitching.

Scream: "Heh... duo... la!"

The translation is: It took a good moon and a hundred years to finish this glass of wine together. Don't be afraid to drink too much. Don't be afraid to drink too much. We are still good friends.
