Quick Travel: Save the poor little villain

Dusk.

They didn't even have to find the way. They just had to follow the people who were watching the fun and they would find the mansion of the headmaster of the Gu family where the wedding was being held today.

Ah Da happened to be maintaining order outside the mansion, but he looked even more panicked than when they met in the daytime, and he was afraid of everything.

Seeing them coming, Ah Da was stunned for a moment, then he relaxed a little and bowed slightly to Rong Zixu.

"Immortal," Ah Da said quickly and softly as they passed by, "Be careful."

Rong Zixu nodded, but saw Ada leave quickly again, pretending that he was not familiar with them.

At this moment, a shout broke the hustle and bustle of the scene. The lively atmosphere of the wedding reception suddenly became quiet. All the guests spontaneously lined up in two rows and looked in the direction of the sedan chair.

"Ah..." Jing Xingcan asked in a puzzled voice, "Does the bride ride in a black sedan chair here?"

The intersection was foggy, and a few men in white playing suona led the way. Behind them were four bearers in black, also carrying a black sedan. There was no sign of festivity at all.

Even the bride's family members following behind the sedan had heavy expressions on their faces.

This atmosphere is more like a coffin being carried, Jinchen complained inwardly.

Rong Zixu quickly glanced at the shoulders and legs of the eight sedan bearers as they walked, "The weight of the sedan is wrong."

"If there were people sitting inside, it shouldn't be so light."

"Oh my god," Gong Siyue sighed, her bare hands already pressing the whip at her waist subconsciously, "Could it be that Xiaochen was right, this is really a ghost marriage?"

"Xiao Liu, try it out." Xu Qie poked Jing Xingcan.

"Okay, I understand."

Jing Xingcan quietly turned over his palm and silently recited a few Taoist spells.

Suddenly a strong wind blew by, and before the black sedan chair arrived at Gu's mansion, several sedan chair bearers were blown so hard that they could not move. The curtain embroidered with a pattern of goldfish and lotus flowers was blown open, revealing the person sitting inside... Mu Mu.

The Seven Sons of Destiny were all shocked, and Bai Shiyun was so frightened that he gasped.

The person sitting inside is not a bride at all, but a wooden figure wearing a black shroud, with flowers and bracelets, a taro head and almonds for eyes!

The almonds used as eyes were extremely large and crudely painted red, making them look like a puppet with its eyes wide open, eerie and lifeless. It had no other movements and just stared at everyone.

But they were the only ones who reacted so strongly. The other guests were not surprised at all. Instead, they showed a slightly complicated look of sadness.

The bride's family members, who were originally following behind the sedan chair, quickly came up and knelt in front of the sedan chair, took out paper money and burned it in the altar, crying while burning it, and chanting something to coax the bride into the mansion.

"My dear Mei'er, we are getting married today, please don't be reluctant to leave your parents and sister."

"Sister, sister and brother-in-law must be well. You will be the eldest lady of my family in the future. Isn't this what you have been hoping for since you were a child? I am happy for you too!"

The wood in the black shroud was unable to respond, its almond eyes staring intently.

Looking at this scene, Yang Yu whispered, "I only heard before that when carrying a coffin, if it falls to the ground, the family members have to kneel down and wait to be lifted up again. How come there is also this custom when carrying a sedan chair?"

Jin Chen said bluntly: "He is dead, what is the difference between a coffin and a sedan chair?"

After coaxing them like this for a long time, the bearers still failed to lift the black sedan chair. It was then that the pink-haired girl from the Wooden Man sister glared at the groom sitting on the horse, who was the eldest son of the Gu family, Gu Yinghong.

"Are you blind? My sister refuses to continue entering your house, and you don't come to comfort her?!"

Gu Yinghong's face looked a little ugly. He carefully glanced at Mu Zhu who was sitting in the black sedan chair, then got off the horse and knelt on the ground, coaxing him softly as if he was talking to his most beloved person.

But the fear and guilt in his expression did not seem fake, which was different from that of other people.

The Seven Sons of Destiny saw this, and Jinchen also poked Jing Xingcan, "Okay, Sixth Senior Brother, don't let these people scare you to death."

"No...it wasn't me. I just did the first one." Jing Xingcan said, looking at the wooden man's eyes, and suddenly felt creepy in his heart.

"Then there must be something fishy going on!" Bai Shiyun was frightened and subconsciously grabbed Chang Wuming's sleeve. If he had just hidden behind him, he would have been fine. But this time, Chang Wuming actually pulled his hand back.

Bai Shiyun was even more surprised. He stared at Chang Wuming with wide eyes. He didn't understand why he suddenly changed his temper. It was obvious that they were... almost in tune with each other before.

But the situation was urgent and it was not the right time to talk about this. Bai Shiyun could only keep his doubts in his heart and hide behind seven people to look at the sedan chair.

Gu Yinghong knelt on the ground and coaxed him for a long time, and the gloomy wind gradually dissipated, and the curtain of the sedan chair fell down again.

The moment it fell, the wooden man transformed into the appearance of a beautiful lady, even though only Jinchen and his group could see it.

The onlookers also breathed a sigh of relief and followed the newlyweds in to worship heaven and earth.

The wooden man completed three bows with the help of two maids. In the eyes of the Seven Sons of Destiny, the wooden man and the beautiful lady appeared alternately and unpredictably. However, the beautiful lady looked at Gu Yinghong with loving eyes.

"Send it to the bridal chamber—"

The clan elder shouted, and in an instant two maids carried the wooden man into the back. All the guests present raised their glasses, smiled and went out again.

Two rows of servants filed in and replaced all the white cloth in the hall with red ones, their movements were quick and well-trained.

"What... is this for?" Jing Xingcan was at a loss.

Their doubts were quickly answered.

In just half a cup of tea, a red sedan chair arrived outside.

Jinchen was shocked. He had never seen such a scene before. "Is it popular here to marry both the living and the dead at the same time?"

The guests were in the most chaotic moment, Rong Zixu said: "Separate the investigation, the second and fourth brothers go to ask about Ah Da's situation, Sanyue and Xiaowu go to the backyard to check on the wooden man."

"Yes."

Bai Shiyun took the opportunity to leave, "I...I'll go to the city's clinic to see if I can get some medicine so I can take preventive measures early."

Bai Shiyun left in a hurry. He didn't see Chang Wuming frowning and watching him leave, nor did he see any struggle or inquiry in his expression.

There was a chaos of guests coming and going in the wedding hall, and no one noticed them leaving.
