My very cool daughter-in-law

Chapter 73 "The Rag"

Thirteen-year-old Sun Xiaozhu was woken up by her elder brother on that night 30 years ago, when the night was starless and moonless. The elder brother told her that the time was up and they wanted to escape while the whole village was asleep. .

As long as they get out of the mountain and reach the nearest town, they will be safe - that's what my brother told Sun Xiaozhu.

Including the plan of the two people's escape and the preparation of things, the elder brother also discussed with Xiaozhu in advance, asking her to put away the things she wanted to bring early, but the elder brother also told her to remember not to be greedy and only pick the most important things The belt, other cumbersome items can be left alone.

The elder brother also said that in the future, they escaped smoothly. He has plenty of strength, so he can find a job in the outside world no matter what. As long as he is diligent, he can support the two brothers and sisters, and strive to pay for Xiaozhu to study.

"The things we can't take away, we will work hard to earn money and buy new ones." My brother said vowedly.

Sun Xiaozhu is indeed a little girl who is not greedy. She knows that her brother wants to escape from the clan, and a large part of the reason is for herself.

She heard that she was appointed to an elder in charge of the ancestral hall before she was born, but the other person's health has not been good in recent years, and her brother does not want her to marry. She always feels that a girl is suffering when she is born in this village.

She also heard that some time ago, her elder brother had mentioned to the steward that they wanted their family to stand on their own and move away from the village.

But the brother's proposal was rejected.

Her marriage is the order of her parents, the order of the clan, she is a girl who has already agreed to marry the clan, how can she go back on her word at the end?Isn't this trampling the faces of parents who died prematurely on the ground, making parents die and be ashamed because of evil sons and daughters, and disregarding the etiquette of the entire clan?

These words are said by people who refute my brother.

They are all very reasonable, every word you say, almost scolds elder brother as the only unfaithful, unrighteous and unfilial person in the world.

Sun Xiaozhu was sad and angry when she heard that, she wanted to fight back for her brother.

But when my brother stopped her, he was also protecting her.

——Because in the village, women are not allowed to intervene in the conversation of men casually, let alone talk back disrespectfully to a bunch of uncles and uncles.

She will be punished for talking back.

"Let's go." That's all my brother said to Xiao Zhu that evening.

And when he said this, he closed the door of the house first, and closed every window in the house tightly.

The elder in charge who made an engagement with Xiaozhu is about to die, and the people in the ancestral hall are already hinting to Sun Zhimao that if the other party is "called away by the ancestors" before the wedding date, then according to the usual practice, Xiaozhu will have to go through the process of yin marriage up.

However, those people also said that Nian Xiaozhu is a girl from the clan, and they feel pity for their daughter's clan, so it's better to arrange the marriage in advance while the husband is still alive. Xiaozhu is still the mistress of that branch—it’s a good day!

What a fart.

Sun Zhimao's lips moved slightly, he thought with disgust.

It is only in this closed place that the little girl is married to the old widower and soon becomes a widow, which is called "the head of the house".

Pooh!

The last piece of luggage that Sun Xiaozhu took out was a small bag less than two palms in size, which contained the only one or two pieces of jewelry her mother had, which were belongings of her close relatives.

"I will work hard with my brother in the future, and other things will come sooner or later."

The 13-year-old girl told her brother that she didn't even bring any extra clothes.

Sun Zhimao touched his sister's head.

They waited until the village was completely silent under the night, and the surroundings seemed to be completely silent. The two brothers and sisters ran to the back mountain under the cover of night.

...but soon there was a dog barking from the back mountain.

Then, the torches lit up on the top of the mountain one after another.

The light of the torch illuminates the faces of people who have been prepared for a long time.

They were still alive at that time, but in the eyes of their brothers and sisters, they seemed more terrifying than ghosts.

"I saw that your complexion was not right a few days ago. I have been watching for several days. I thought you had changed your mind. From now on, you must abide by the righteous way and not have evil thoughts." The leader was still smiling, and it was the interview. One of Sun Zhimao's stewards.

Then under the firelight, the smiling face suddenly became ferocious.

"Unfortunately, you still chose the wrong road." The man said.

"Call me—"

Sun Zhimao just died that night, bringing with him a promise he would never be able to fulfill with his younger sister Xiaozhu.

That "clan rule disposal" can be regarded as a huge momentum, and the battle was not small.

However, it happened in the mountain where it was difficult to escape, and all the roars and heart-piercing cries were swallowed by the mountain.

After his brother died, Sun Xiaozhu lingered for five years.

She was lucky enough to be kept because of her marriage contract, and she didn't dare to die too early.

What she was afraid of was that if she died, she would not be able to see what these people would do to her brother's soul and bones. As long as she was still alive, she would have a pair of eyes to see, remember, and someone would secretly burn paper for her brother. Incense.

But she can only last five years at most.

In a mountain village that is closed, ignorant and greedy, it is hard to imagine what an orphan girl with no father, no mother, and no siblings would go through.

Sun Xiaozhu lives with astonishing tenacity, holding on, just like her name, is a short and durable bamboo.

……

Perhaps because of her amazing perseverance, even after death, she was made into a paper doll by the sinister tribe and her brother, and her soul was bound in the paper body.

However, she forcibly resisted the erosion of memory by the spell, and did not let "registering guests" become the only thing she could remember.

Her body is involuntary, and her every move is restricted by the elders of the clan who have become ghosts.

But no one could control her thoughts, and she was even able to break free a little bit by herself gradually, and she could sing a few operas that she forgot where she heard them.

Then day and night, I watched my brother Sun Zhimao lead new guests into the door of the guest house.

Stop it, brother.

look at me, brother.

How much you should have wanted to escape from here, because you are thinking beyond the mountain village, and you are the one who wants to live outside with me.

Sun Xiaozhu sang the opera again and again, but he could only sing the part where Zhong Kui's sister heard the knock on the door and didn't know who was outside the door.

In the following aria, Zhong Kui's brother and sister already recognize each other.

But where will the day when their brother and sister can recognize each other?

Her face was repainted, those people are so vicious, not only let her brother repeatedly do the task of leading the way for the victims, but also put her in front of the other party, there are only two ghosts, brother and sister, in the whole mountain village made of paper. It is such a short distance that brothers and sisters face each other day and night and cannot recognize each other.

……until today.

until today.

Villager Da Mao looked and looked at the female registrar facing thousands of evenings, his paper-gold face looked from confusion to hesitation to disbelief.

As if someone finally cleared the fog in front of his eyes, he suddenly woke up and shouted:

"Xiaozhu!"

It's been five years since they were separated from each other, and they have been facing each other for more than twenty years as ghosts.

In the mountain village made of paper, at least brothers and sisters can finally get together and recognize each other.

In the pond of accumulated resentment, in a real deserted village.

If Chu Kui had seen the smoke lingering above the village before, it would have been just "a vaguely visible flame rising into the sky".

Then at this moment, when the Chu family and the Chi family are approaching the outskirts of the village——

There is already a complete black smoke billowing here, and the flames are bright, and there seems to be no place in the whole village that is not burning.

"Still can't get in." A Chu family member who went around the village reported to Chu Shang, and he shook his head at other people waiting for news from a distance, "The whole village has been temporarily sealed off by some kind of force, and now it's like a Sealed burning cans."

Chu Shang frowned, and most of the other Chu family members around him had similar expressions.

Chu Kui expressed his emotions more directly, he looked back and forth anxiously: "What about Sheng Xun?" Chu Kui asked the clansmen who went to investigate in another direction, "Have you found any traces of Sheng Xun, or at least, sensed a living person here?" Angry?"

The faces of the few people who were questioned were not very good-looking.

This seems to be an answer.

Chu Kui gritted his teeth, he grabbed his backpack strap tightly, and was about to run to the village——

"Where are you going?" Chu Shang grabbed the man back with quick eyesight and quick hands.

"Go save people!" Chu Kui replied quickly.

This time, Chu Shang didn't hold back his strength anymore, he pressed his younger brother hard on the back of the head: "The village is closed, what we have to do is to immediately find the weak point on the closed barrier, and directly break the wall from the weak point—— What can you do if you rushed over rashly?"

The blood on Chu Kui's head subsided for a moment, and he realized that he was impulsive.

He wiped his face heavily, feeling that at this distance, the heat wave on the other side of the village was already making him sweat slightly.

He took a deep breath: "I know Brother Shang, don't hold me back, I'm calm."

Chu Kui had a very good impression of Sheng Xun. Ever since he learned that Sheng Xun's locator was invalid, he couldn't help feeling a little flustered, always worried that something would happen to Sheng Xun alone in this deserted village.

When he saw the continuous fire here and heard that the village was closed, he was really anxious.

But Chu Shang clasped his shoulders to let Chu Kui understand that he is far from the only one who is worried about Sheng Xun's safety and is trying to find a way.

Unlike Sheng Xun's smooth entry into the village, because the worship ceremony at the ancestral hall has not yet been completed, and the coffin lid, which is equivalent to a teleportation item, has not been put back in place, and it is still thrown in a corner of the chaotic ancestral hall.

This made the Chu family and the Chi family team who came following Sheng Xun's trail encounter some difficulties.

They had to spend a little more time in the paper village above, trying to find a way to manually open the passage before entering the real deserted village.

There was just a time difference in the middle.

When they entered the village, Sheng Xun and Xiao Qiu had almost completed the demolition of the ancestral hall, and the village was caught in a war between the unjust dead and the perpetrators.

Before they arrived at the village, the battle was in full swing, all the entrances and exits were tightly blocked, the ghosts of the two sides were entangled, and today they vowed to fight to the death.

Chi Huaiming and another Chi family member stood a little far away from the Chu family.

The companion may also have a faint concern about Sheng Xun's safety, thinking that he is still alive no matter what.

Chi Huaiming heard it in his ears, but he was noncommittal, still thinking that maybe something happened to this person in the village.

But he didn't make sarcastic remarks.

He was distracted by another matter.

The village ahead was blocked, and the Chu family was looking for a way to break the wall. The Chi family's secret gossip mirror he brought was also donated to help survey the direction.

Chi Huaiming couldn't tell if he was careless, because he still held a copper coin that matched the gossip mirror in his hand.

That little thing was also specially made by the Chi family, with a set of special induction charms embedded in it.

When a soul that the Chi family pays close attention to appears around, the induction talisman will take effect, and the copper coin will vibrate in the hands of the Chi family, making a warning sound that only the Chi family can hear.

Chi Huaiming always felt that he heard the ringing of copper coins, but he heard nothing again.

He asked his companions, but his companions only gave him blank stares. He obviously didn't hear anything. He also took out his own copper coins and looked at them. He asked him if the burning of the village in front of him was too noisy. He misheard.

Did you hear me wrong?

Chi Huaiming thought suspiciously.

He pinched his copper coin and looked and looked.

The fire obscured the sight, like putting a ring of fire on the entire village.

No matter what, people outside can't see that in the depths of this raging village, there is still a space that is kept cool and not licked by the flames.

Xiaoqiu looked up at the place that was not affected by the flames, and suddenly he cast his gaze far away, as if he could use his strength to see beyond the village.

"Xiaoqiu?" Sheng Xun who was beside him called out to him.

Sheng Xun was keenly aware of the ghost's sudden trance.

Xiaoqiu was fixed in one movement for a while, and then he slowly looked back.

"The Chu family is here." Xiao Qiu told Sheng Xun calmly.

After he finished speaking, he tilted his head, and his next sentence was not so calm.

"There's also Chi's." Xiao Qiu brought with him a dislike that was obvious enough for him.

Sheng Xun's eyes narrowed.

Both the Chi family and the Chu family have arrived, which means that Xiaoqiu and the two Qiling dolls don't have much time left to reveal themselves. It would be risky for them to remain visible after a team of mystic masters entered the village.

Sheng Xun was about to say something, and he already had a solution in just a few minutes.

However, before Sheng Xun could speak, Andy ran over bluffing.

The doll didn't know what it had discovered, and it was in a hurry all the way, and there seemed to be something dragging behind it, so the little bear and it came straight to Sheng Xun Xiaoqiu with something.

"Look at what I found when Xiaoxiong and I helped fight over there?" Andy dragged the lump of things to Sheng Xun Xiaoqiu, his voice full of strange excitement.

At first glance, that "thing" really looked like a mass of red rags, no different from the long red silk cloth that Xiaoqiu had fallen from the pillars and beams when Xiaoqiu demolished the ancestral hall.

But upon closer inspection, Sheng Xun soon discovered that this ball of "rags" had a solid body, and a long strip was wrapped inside.

"What is this?" Sheng Xun put down what he was going to say, and asked patiently first.

A wonderful smile suddenly appeared on Andy's face, and he tore off the cloth——

This whole "red rag group" turned out to be a ghost in red clothes.

He was completely huddled in his festive red dress, only half of the big red flower on his chest was left, and raised a mournful face towards Sheng Xun and Xiao Qiu.

Sheng Xun: "..."

Xiaoqiu: "..."
