After joining Hades

Chapter 55 "Dowry"

Feeling very dizzy, Wen Bai raised his hand to rub his forehead, but his fingertips felt cold.

It was dark inside the sedan chair, and Wen Bai couldn't tell what it was.

He waited for a long while, stretched out his hand and pulled it, and with the faint light, he realized that it was a red hijab.

Embroidered with patterns, the stitches are dense and delicate.

Wen Bai was in a trance when the jade gourd shook.

As soon as he lowered his head, the little lotus lamp patted the petals and squeezed out from inside.

As if it was a little hard to squeeze, she sat down on Wen Bai's lap and stretched out two leaves: "Hug."

Wen Bai stretched out his hand to hug it, and said nervously, "Shh."

Xiao Lian Deng rubbed against the back of Wen Bai's hand: "They can't hear me."

"Lu Zheng said, the five senses of these paper figurines are not sensitive, as long as we keep our voices quiet, they won't be able to hear you."

Only then did Wen Bai feel relieved.

"Where are we?" Wen Bai asked in a low voice.

He knew he was sitting in a sedan chair.

The interior of this sedan chair is quite magnificent, padded with fine gauze, but the sedan chair is not stable, it is bumpy and ups and downs, making people feel nauseous.

It's not like walking on flat ground.

There was only a barren light in the sedan chair, and Wen Bai could barely get a general idea.

Little Lotus Lantern: "On the mountain."

Wen Bai is not surprised, after all, Qiang Qi is a mountain ghost: "Do you know which mountain Yuanyuan is?"

Wen Bai guessed that it should be Wusong Mountain, but he was not sure.

Xiao Lian Deng shook her head.

But it claimed to be Wen Bai's "puppy legs", and when Wen Bai asked, he shook his head and said that he wanted to go out to see where it was, and was hugged back by Wen Bai.

"You can't run around, what if you lose it?"

Only then did Xiaoliandeng quiet down.

The bell ringing in his ears was crisp and clear, Wen Bai listened carefully, and it was not far from him.

Xiao Lian Deng explained: "It's a lantern."

"Lanterns are hung at the four corners of the sedan chair, but what is burning inside is not candles, but bells."

Wen Bai nodded.

I think it was the four paper lanterns the size of glass beads that he saw at that time.

It's just that now it's turned into a sedan chair, and the sound is even more crisp.

"Yuan Yuan still knows about sedan chairs?" After speaking, Wen Bai himself laughed.

The current scene is as scary as it needs to be, but he doesn't feel any fear at all, he just thinks about other things.

He didn't tell Xiaoliandeng about Qiang Qi, let alone the matter of getting married, but Lu Zheng didn't know what he said to it, Xiaoliandeng was more nervous than him these days.

"Yeah." Xiao Lian Deng nodded seriously, "Qiang Qi's sedan chair is not good, don't sit in vain, Yuan Yuan will protect you."

Wen Bai shook his head: "Don't sit, fake."

During the movements, the red hijab slid aside following Wen Bai's movements.

Xiaoliandeng looked over.

A few seconds later, the red hijab was burned with a black hole the size of a coin.

Seeing that there might be a second one soon, Wen Bai laughed, and hurriedly called to stop: "Not now."

Hide the red hijab behind: "We'll burn it after we catch Qiang Qi."

If you get off the sedan chair later, the hijab is gone, and you have to reveal your secrets.

Xiao Lian Deng muffled in response, plunged her head into Wen Bai's arms, and after a long time, said: "They want to rob you."

Wen Bai: "Huh?"

"The group of little paper people outside, and that Qiang Qi." Xiao Lian Deng felt wronged.

"Who told you?" Wen Bai didn't think Lu Zheng would scare it like this.

"I heard what they said."

Wen Bai made a guess: "What's wrong?"

Little Lotus Lantern: "Yes."

Just know.

The servants would not intentionally say anything to Xiaoliandeng, they were probably talking about Luan Qiangqi, and it overheard them.

Wen Bai rubbed the petals for him: "No, we are here to find someone. When we find someone, we will go back."

Xiao Lian Deng was a little happier: "Well! When we find someone, we will go back with Lu Zheng."

Hearing Lu Zheng's name, Wen Bai paused while rubbing the petals: "Is he nearby?"

"There is Lu Zheng's breath." Xiao Lian Deng sniffed.

It crackled and exploded a little star: "Lu Zheng won't let Yuan Yuan disturb you."

When Wen Bai was brought into the sedan chair, Xiao Lian Deng wanted to wake him up, but just as he made a move, Lu Zheng stopped him.

Lu Zheng said that this incense is just a requiem incense, it doesn't get in the way.

The left and right are some femininity, Lu Zheng is afraid that Wen Bai will wake up and be afraid, so it is a good thing to be able to fall asleep.

So Wen Bai slept peacefully all the way.

After listening, Wen Bai smiled.

It was indeed a good thing to be able to fall asleep, and he felt that he woke up early.

When I was awake, the dizziness was much worse than when I was asleep, and the discomfort was real.

Wen Bai was thinking about how long it would take before he arrived, but the group of little paper figurines opened their mouths before him.

"Ah, it's already this hour, why is Madam still awake? Isn't this incense only last for half an hour?"

"Did you make a mistake, you idiot!"

"No! No! No mistake!"

The little paper figurines made a fuss, and there were a few more irritable ones who were about to rush in to have a look, so Wen Bai could only cough, pretending to have just woken up.

In addition to preventing them from coming in, Wen Bai thought that maybe he was awake, and he could get some words out.

Sure enough, Wen Bai coughed, and there was a moment of silence outside, and then a paper figurine shouted: "Madam is awake!"

These words were like a signal flare. As soon as this head fell, the wooden gong and skin drum beat on the other end, and the little paper figurine began to sing.

Wen Bai vaguely heard "big king" and "little big king".

Wen Bai: "..."

It doesn't look like IQ is very high.

If it wasn't for being in this dense forest and deep mountain, and it wasn't pitch-black outside, the news would be quite happy to hear.

But it happened to be in such an inaccessible place.

The sound of gongs and drums changed.

A paper figure trickled in along the window curtains blown by the wind.

Wen Bai took advantage of the situation and hid the little lotus lantern in the gourd.

"No, no!" The paper figurine saw the hijab that Wen Bai took off, and it grabbed the corner of the hijab vigorously, and was about to put it on Wen Bai's head.

not good!Yuan Yuan's little coin!

With quick eyes and quick hands, Wen Bai pressed down on the red hijab, and the heel of his palm just touched the small coin burned by the little lotus lamp.

"It takes the king to take off the hijab."

Even after listening to it several times, Wen Bai is still insensitive to the word "big king".

But afraid that the little paper man would find out, he had no choice but to take a step back: "Okay, I will cover it, you let go first."

Wen Bai originally thought that he had to deal with the paper figurine, but he let go of it quickly, and even bowed to Wen Bai.

Before Wen Bai had time to react, he raised his hands, put them next to his mouth, and whistled a not-so-clean whistle.

There was a "wow", the sound of a candle being lit.

The lanterns outside the sedan chair were burning red, and the flames brightened the inside of the sedan chair.

Two paper figurines carried a small incense burner and floated in through the window.

After putting the incense burner on Wen Bai's hands, Qi Qi said, "Warm your hands!"

Wen Bai's palm warmed, and he subconsciously said, "Thank you."

The little paper man clapped his hands together: "Bride!"

Wen Bai: "..."

Wen Bai thinks that these paper figurines may also have a hierarchy, these two little paper figurines are obviously not the one who can speak, and just repeat a few words over and over again.

The clapping was loud, like an atmosphere group.

After delivering the small incense burner, the two paper figurines flew out.

The remaining one stepped down from the inside and dragged out a box.

"Ma'am, use it!"

Wen Bai no longer corrected their verbal thoughts, he paused: "Use...what?"

The paper figurine reached out and tapped the box twice, signaling Wen Bai to open it.

Wen Bai could feel that these paper figurines had no malice towards him, thinking that he would have to ask Cheng Cheng and their whereabouts from them later, so he bent down and opened the box following their wishes.

Bronze mirrors, rouge, some small gadgets... I have been to the human world twice for thousands of years, and I am lucky to recognize them.

But it's all things he can't use.

Wen Bai began to doubt more and more whether Qiang Qi knew that he was a man.

Wen Bai closed the lid, and said perfunctorily, "Thank you."

After a few conversations, Wen Bai knew more or less that these paper figurines had no intentions, and while getting up, he said directly: "Did those friends of mine be taken away by you?"

The paper figurine tilted its head: "What friend?"

Wen Bai couldn't tell whether it really didn't know, or pretended not to know, but he had already asked the question, so he could only continue to ask: "We went to Wusong Mountain together that day."

The little paper man thought about it for a long time before he dragged his throat and said "Oh", "Is it those four people?"

Wen Bai's heart tightened: "Yes."

"Here." The little paper man said, Xu Shi saw that Wen Bai frowned and was unhappy, so he waved his hands hastily, "Don't be afraid, they are safe."

"Your Majesty was afraid that Madam would be bored by herself, so he asked a few people to accompany you."

Then, the little paper man told what happened that day.

In Qiang Qi's words, seven "dowries" were found for him.

Why seven.

It is because the word "Qi" in Qiangqi Mountain is also connected with "Seven", which is an auspicious number.

Qiang Qi saw Wen Bai in Wusong Mountain, and after he fell in love with someone, he saw that he was getting close to Fang Leming and the others, and they had a good relationship. He was afraid that after getting married, Wen Bai would be bored in the mountains by himself, so he thought about keeping him. The whole group was tied back—yes, all.

Qiang Qi's original intention was to pack Wen Bai's entire class and take them back as Wen Bai's dowry.

Later, it was the mountain spirit who reminded him about the Yin Division, saying that it was not feasible, and that too much movement might attract the attention of the Yin Division, so Qiang Qi stopped and decided to bring only seven back.

Then, two groups of paper figurines were sent.

All the way to Fang Leming's side, all the way to Cheng Cheng's side, the result can be imagined, Fang Leming's side has treasures and city gods, but he didn't succeed, only four of them were tied back in the end - even Wen Bai didn't get married.

Then Qiang Qi's thoughts were all on Wen Bai.

No "bridal wife" is married, so what do you want so many "dowries" for?

So, he ignored the remaining three and sent all the paper figurines towards Wen Bai.

After the paper figurine finished speaking, Wen Bai fell silent.

He didn't dare to think at all, what would happen if Qiang Qi was really crazy and tied the whole class back.

"Where are they now?" Wen Bai asked directly.

The little paper man didn't answer for a moment.

The sedan chair creaked and landed slowly.

Just when Wen Bai thought he had arrived, the paper figurine moved again.

"It's time to enter the mountain, madam, sit still!" After finishing speaking, she floated out.

Wen Bai: "?"

into the mountains?

Haven't you been walking the mountain road before?

Unable to hold back, he opened the curtain a crack.

When he saw the scene outside clearly by the candlelight, Wen Bai's heart dropped unexpectedly.

mountain top.

The location they are now is exactly the top of a mountain.

The wind was so loud that it even overwhelmed the babbling of the paper figurine, but it didn't blow the lantern at all.

He watched the paper people lined up, jumping down from the top of the mountain with small gongs and drums in their hands.

So when they say enter the mountain, they mean...jump off?

Wen Bai clenched his fingertips.

At this time, the heat of the gourd on the wrist came bit by bit.

The temperature was not as hot as the incense burner in his hand, but his gentle heart followed it, calming down bit by bit.

Lu Zheng is here, Wen Bai whispered to himself.

The little lotus lantern floated out of the gourd, pushed away the incense burner in Wen Bai's hand with Yetuo, and lay down by herself.

After finding the right position, she shook the petals and hummed vigorously.

From the position of the base, a miniature paper ball falls out.

Wen Bai saw Lu Zheng's "little note" for the second time, so he naturally knew it.

Touching the little lotus lantern that had been delivered a little hard, Wen Bai opened the note.

There is a sentence written on the paper.

"The following is an enchantment, don't be afraid."

Wen Bai took a deep breath and suddenly remembered something.

He opened the box that the paper figurine pushed to him before, took out the rouge box, dipped a little with his finger, and wrote "OK" on the back of the note.

"Yuan Yuan, can this be returned to Lu Zheng?"

"Yes!" The little lotus lantern looked quite happy, and the petals spread out, revealing a section of light.

"Set it here."

Wen Bai followed its words and put the small ball of paper in.

The ball of paper was wrapped in lights, ignited, and finally turned into a few wisps of black smoke.

Wen Bai didn't pass the note a few times when he was in elementary school, but now he passes it backwards.

Although he didn't know what use this "good" could have, he just wrote it.

Just like in fact, Lu Zheng only needs to light the gourd to tell him not to be afraid, but Lu Zheng also wrote such a sentence.

Perhaps it was a coincidence that just as Wen Bai finished writing, the sedan chair was lifted up again.

A strong gust of wind hit with the feeling of weightlessness, Wen Bai held his breath suddenly, and the sedan chair fell to the ground in the next second.

Wen Bai didn't even regain his composure, and the voice of "The bride gets off the sedan chair—" came through the curtain.

Different from the crispness of the paper figurine, this voice was even a bit sharp.

"Bang, bang, bang", someone kicked the car door three times.

The red hijab was being held in Wen Bai's hands.

He didn't really want to cover it, let alone get off the sedan chair.

While hesitating, a voice sounded from outside.

"Little, Xiaobai?"

Cheng Cheng?Wen Bai thought he had misheard, but the voice was on the side of the curtain.

He finally couldn't hold back, he lifted the curtain and met Cheng Cheng's gaze.

Wen Bai: "..."

He had already planned for the worst, maybe Qiang Qi would release Cheng Cheng and the others in the end.

who knows……

"What about Zheng Hui and the others?" Wen Bai whispered.

"It's all here." Cheng Cheng's expression was not good.

It can even be said that the whole face is downcast.

"Xiao Bai, you..."

Cheng Cheng's words were interrupted by an unfamiliar voice.

"On the big day, you are the dowry, what kind of expression is this?"

Under the baptism of Zhou Wei and Zhong Shining's constant "this Qiang Qi is so impatient, he must be an old prostitute", Wen Bai inevitably went astray, thinking that Qiang Qi must be a little old.

So when I heard this obviously young voice, I was taken aback.

Cheng Cheng's face became even uglier, but he had to raise the corners of his mouth, showing a smile uglier than crying.

"Ma'am, you have seen my sincerity. Four dowries, one is quite a lot. If you think it is too little, I will tie up a few more to serve you tomorrow."

He changed his tone: "Is it time to get out of the sedan chair with peace of mind?"

Saying that, the door curtain opened a corner.

A hand was about to be stretched in. At this moment, the sky rolled with thunder.

The paper people started babbling and screaming, and the hand that had just been stretched out suddenly retracted.

"Where did the thunder come from?!" He yelled.
