a tavern

With red wedding clothes, big red flowers, and red lanterns hanging high, Wen Cheng has never been so pompous as he is today, striding through the crowd with his head held high.At the entrance of the Fugui restaurant, lion dance leads the door, gongs and drums are beaten, neighbors, relatives and friends come to celebrate one after another, upstairs and downstairs, it is crowded.

"Di tick tock" and "woo la woo la" suona, shengxiao and chirping sounded everywhere, and a song of birds and phoenix quickly created a cheerful, warm and festive atmosphere, permeating the whole venue.Everyone had smiles on their faces, and Wen Cheng hurriedly greeted those who came over to congratulate him.

When the auspicious time is approaching, when the bride's sedan chair lands firmly, there will be "crackling", and the sound of firecrackers everywhere, scaring the group of children who gather in front of the sedan chair, covering their ears, and running away, attracting laughter from the adults.The sound of firecrackers, suona, gongs and drums came and went one after another.

Everyone pushed Wen Cheng to the sedan chair. With a blushing face, Wen Cheng took the bride's hand and led her across the brazier.Amidst the uproar, the bride was carried on her back, her steps were fairly steady, and she walked all the way to the front of the flower hall.

There were not too many complicated etiquettes, and within a short while, I heard Tong Zan singing "The auspicious time has come", and someone ignited two strings of firecrackers hanging at the door.

"The bride and groom are in place.", "The bride and groom enter the incense.", "Kneel and offer incense."Wen Cheng and Wen Yi followed the instructions and saluted one by one.

The last and most critical step in worshiping the hall, Tong Zan suddenly shouted: "Bow to heaven and earth!" The two bowed down respectfully and worshiped heaven and earth.

"Second obeisance to the high hall!" Aunt Qian and his wife, Wen Cheng and Wen Yi were seated in the flower hall, and they were not close.It is only natural to invite godmothers and godfathers to sit in high positions.The two leaned over, knelt and kowtowed slowly, expressing their respect.The two old men smiled from ear to ear, Father Qian stroked his long beard and nodded slightly.

"Husband and wife bow to each other!" After three bows, they will be a couple for a lifetime, a real couple.Wen Cheng bent down to salute, trembling with excitement, the red hijab covered the other party's eyes, she couldn't see Wen Yi's expression clearly, she was inexplicably anxious.Xu Shi, who hadn't seen her for three days, made her irritable, and when the two of them finished the salute smoothly, she couldn't wait to grab Wen Yi's hand.The onlookers roared with laughter: "One more thing, Boss Wen, what are you in a hurry for?"

The last sentence that Tong Zan yelled was faintly smiling: "Send it to the bridal chamber!" You're done!

"Hey, hey...Boss Wen, where are you going?" Wen Cheng seemed to be captured by his soul, and followed Wen Yi's step by step.It wasn't until someone tugged at the corner of her clothes and pulled it hard that she finally came to her senses, unable to withstand the teasing tone and eyes of everyone.The heat on his face gradually increased, and Boss Wen turned around and walked away, shouting to go to the kitchen to have a look.

Up and down, more than a dozen tables are full.Even if there was a small mistake a few days ago, everyone still praised and trusted Fugui Restaurant's dishes.Two words, delicious.Under Wen Cheng's casual guidance, Chef Zhang's culinary skills have improved by leaps and bounds.The apprentice, Xiao Zhen, spent the whole day in the kitchen, under the influence of his ears and eyes, learned a few special dishes, and he was able to serve on the table.Therefore, this banquet is a no-brainer.

The bustling banquet has begun, and the whole restaurant is full of noise.And in the lobby on the first floor, on the innermost side, there was a customer on each of the two tables that were not too close, and they looked at each other while everyone was not paying attention.And what's even more strange is that neither of them moved their chopsticks, only drinking some wine occasionally.Of course, the environment was so noisy that no one paid attention at all.

After drinking for three rounds, everyone started to feel a little dazed.Except for the helpers like cooking and serving.Everyone else ate and drank to their heart's content.The food is delicious, so naturally we should eat more.I am happy, so I naturally want to drink more.With several waves of serving, as time passed, slowly, one by one lay on the table.The second monk Wen Chengzhang, who served the dishes himself, was puzzled. It is understandable for the adults to be drunk, but why are the children also drunk on the wine table?

"Brother Cheng, you're finally here! Come on, little brother, I'll toast you!" With one foot deep and one foot shallow, Ah Hui picked up the wine glass and walked towards Wen Cheng in a daze, but halfway there, he fell down with a "click". on the ground.

Just when she bent down to help Ah Hui up, she suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside the door, followed by the sound of the door closing "squeak!"

Who is so foolish to close the door on this big day?Wen Cheng wanted to raise his head to question, but he didn't notice why there was silence around him.The one who catches the eye is none other than the old man of the Zhou family with Zhou Yuanyu and seven or eight people behind him, all dressed in black clothes with swords on their bodies.

The visitor was not friendly, Wen Cheng picked it up, and rushed to meet him, his face still calm and composed: "Old Master Zhou, please come here to congratulate the boy, thank you very much! Thank you very much!"

"Hehe, could it be that we got married and burned our brains?" Before Old Master Zhou could speak, Zhou Yuanyu spoke first, smiling fearfully, with murderous intent in his eyes: "Just look at it, today, we are here for your funeral !" Without hesitation, "Ceng Ceng Ceng" was full of swords behind him.

Wen Cheng never expected that the Zhou family would commit murder and silencing the public under the open sky and broad daylight.And on her big day, Wen Cheng glared at her courage without knowing where she came from: "Lang Lang Qian Kun, could it be that you are going to be the murderers?" Cold sweat broke out on her back and palms, and she knew that this was not Just a verbal threat.

Finally, the silent old man Zhou said: "Stop talking nonsense, arrest all the living things in this house for me!" His murderous eyes fixed on Wen Cheng.

After receiving the instruction, Zhou Yuanyu clapped his hands lightly, but in the vast hall, it was so clear.Looking back, Wen Cheng suddenly realized that no one was sober at the banquet.What surprised Wen Chen even more was that several people jumped up from the lying crowd and quickly stepped forward to stand behind Zhou Yuanyu.Obviously, at the banquet, someone had already been inserted~in.

"Search!" With an order, they moved around.Although Wen Cheng dabbled in martial arts for the first time, he could tell that the skills of these dozen or so people jumped up and down like the wind, much better than the group of flamboyant thugs brought by Zhou Yuanyu last time, more like people in the martial arts world.

After a while, Xiao Zhen, A Gui, Master Zhang, and Xi Niang were dragged over, screaming again and again, but Wen Yi was nowhere to be seen.Wen Changcheng breathed a sigh of relief: "A Yi, don't be discovered!" He secretly prayed that Wen Yi would discover the heresy and run out to seek help.She couldn't figure out why the Zhou family had such a great hatred for her, but she knew it well.

But, "They are innocent! Have you let these people go?" Wen Cheng pointed to the guests all over the room and the trembling people at the edge of the knife: "If you want to kill or cut, come to me alone!" He was so scared to death, Wen Cheng is really a "man" for being able to say such righteous and awe-inspiring words.

"You!" Old Master Zhou's old face was dyed with coldness, "I want all of you to be buried with my grandson!" A surge of hatred gushed out.

Zhou Yuanfeng is dead?Wen Cheng was very puzzled: if you die, you will die, so what does it matter to me?She couldn't understand the weight of some powerful people's anger, and didn't understand the precise meaning of "there is no excuse for inflicting crimes".

In fact, Zhou Yuanfeng was not dead yet, but he was not far from death. Except for his breath, he was basically no different from a dead person.Zhou Shilang put in a lot of effort, and invited the imperial doctor in the palace. After seeing it, he said that he might not live for another year.The quack warlocks even invited a bunch of them, but they all returned in vain.

The anger that had nowhere to vent, had no choice but to go back to the source and blame Wen Cheng and Wen Yi for everything.If it wasn't for Wen Yi, how could he run away from home?If you don't run away from home, how can you carelessly fall off the cliff?When the Zhou family found someone, he was dying and was taken in and cared for by a small temple.Zhou Shilang's family has a big business and many wives and concubines, but there is only one son.In this way, it will be unprecedented!

Jiuxing Town is located in a remote area, and the power of the Zhou family in this area can be said to overwhelm the sky.It is easy to kill a person, but killing a group of people requires some means and strategies.

So these people at the banquet just fell into a deep sleep, and the few who were awake were really in bad luck!In the eyes of the Zhou family, these people are the people who are close to Wen Cheng and the others.Zhou Yuanyu gritted his teeth: "The pain of killing a relative must be eaten by him." His vicious eyes narrowed into a slit, and the cold light emitted was frightening.

"Reporting to the old lady, I didn't find the bride!" All the sent people came back, but they didn't find any trace of the key person: "I turned it inside out, but I didn't find it!"

"It's okay! It's okay!" Mrs. Zhou's confident look made Wen Cheng startled: "Could it be that A Yi has already been discovered by him?" Uneasy, his heart beat wildly.

Before Wen Cheng could think about it again, a cold light flashed, and the thin sword was in her throat, making her face pale.He had never been so close to death. At this moment, Wen Cheng felt the panic and fear thoroughly, but he suppressed the exclamation in his throat.The blade was too close, and she had to be careful even when breathing. She was afraid of pain and blood, and she was afraid that if she was not careful, her head would be decapitated.She saw it with her own eyes just now, just leaning up, a strand of hair around her ear was cut off and fell down.

Zhou Yuanyu instantly understood what Old Master Zhou meant, and circled around, shouting to all sides of the building: "Wen Yi, come out! I guess, you probably don't want your vain~ tender bridegroom officer to immediately change into that lonely wild man. Ghost?" Then he paused: "Okay, okay! We are also old acquaintances! Let's do that! Let me count to three and show you some favors, okay?"

"A Yi, don't come out! Hurry up and find someone!" Before Wen Cheng could finish speaking, there was a big slap on the right cheek, which made her eyes glisten, and the corner of her mouth continued to ooze blood.Still wanting to speak, another slap on the left cheek.

"One"... Zhou Yuanyu didn't use his verbal ability anymore, and started counting directly, but it seemed to be slowly and in no hurry.But under her signal, the gleaming knife edge got closer and closer to Wen Cheng's neck until it touched lightly, leaving a bloodstain...Wen Cheng slowly closed his eyes, only feeling his mind was blank, and sweat dripped down his cheeks drip down.The people beside them stopped screaming and turned their heads silently, not daring to look...

"Wait" was no surprise, without even waiting for the second number, Wen Yi graciously walked from...
