Seeing the girl's hand stretched out, Yan Shixun stretched out his slender palm without any hesitation, and held the girl's hand.

The tentacles are as cold as ice.

Unlike normal human skin, it is soft and warm.It's cold and stiff.

Not angry.

Yan Shixun held the girl's hand for a moment, subconsciously raised his slender fingers, and then, a smile appeared on his lips, and he held her hand again.

"Come on, let me see what kind of scene it is."

Yan Shixun's firmness and determination made Jiang Yanran stunned.

The smile on her face faded slightly, and she lowered her eyes to glance at the hand held by Yan Shixun.That piece of skin was warmed by Yan Shixun's dry and warm palm. It was a temperature she hadn't felt for a long time, almost scalding her.

But Jiang Yanran restrained her instinct to withdraw her hand, she smiled again, and looked at Yan Shixun with stars and bright eyes in her eyes.

"Then don't let go of my hand. Otherwise..."

Jiang Yanran put a finger on her lips with the other hand, and the smile on her lips turned malicious.

"It will be eaten up, and there will be no bones left."

It was obvious that Yan Shixun just appeared around the corner just now, those villagers seemed to be startled, they all turned around to look at him, watching him silently and deeply.But when Yan Shixun held Jiang Yanran's hand and appeared from the corner again, those villagers still stood where they were, cheering for the happy event in the yard as if they couldn't see Yan Shixun.

Even if Yan Shixun passed in front of them, their empty eyes couldn't reflect Yan Shixun's figure, they were just applauding mechanically, and the smiles on their faces were all the same.

Like a machine programmed to do the same thing.

Yan Shixun frowned, but he didn't ask Jiang Yanran directly about his doubts, but quickly glanced at the villagers he saw along the way without changing his expression.

When he was standing at the corner before, he had already seen the excitement here.But it wasn't until he got closer that he could see clearly that the entire narrow village road was blocked by the villagers outside the door of the family with the happy event. The number of people was so large that it seemed that the whole village had gathered here up.

But in the vicinity of Xishiren's house, the sound of laughter and excitement resounded through the sky, the noise of laughter made people's ears hurt, and the sound of gongs and drums made it impossible to ignore it.But in the surrounding village houses, the doors and windows were closed tightly, and there was no sound at all. It was impossible to see what was happening inside or whether there were people.

No one opened the window to look out curiously, and no one booed for the neighbor's happy event at home.

It seems that those houses have long been empty.

The eyes of the villagers were all staring at the small courtyard. Some were applauding, some were speaking auspicious words to the people in the courtyard loudly, and some were applauding in response to the sound coming out of the courtyard. The sound of suona and drums is so lively.

There were perfect smiles on their faces, but the smiles were clearly enthusiastic, but there was no warmth at all.

Yan Shixun was led by Jiang Yanran, walked through the villagers, walked unimpeded all the way, stepped over the gate of the yard, and stepped into the yard.

This is the first time Yan Shixun has seen older female villagers in the village since he entered Jiazifen Village.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law squeezed from the door of the house to the door of the yard. They wore red clothes with patterns embroidered on them. Some of the older daughters-in-law wore plastic fake flowers on their chests, and their clothes were much better than others’. , you can tell the difference between them and others at a glance.

Their hair is also neatly combed back, and there are cheap but colorful plastic flowers bought from the market pinned to the hair, which is obviously fake.

Like the villagers outside the yard, they also turned a blind eye to Yan Shixun who was passing by, and just looked into the house intently and beamingly. The smiles on their faces were so piled up that their eyes could hardly be seen, and their mouths grinned all the way. below the ears.

I don't know if it's because these mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are not good at makeup, but they must dress up according to their own understanding on grand occasions.

Each of their faces was wiped as white as paper, and all the blood that belonged to living people was completely covered.But on both sides of the cheeks, there is a whole piece of gorgeous blush, which is red, echoing their bright red but irregularly shaped red lips.

But the lips seemed to tremble badly when applying the color. The red was drawn crookedly, either sunken in, or painted red around the mouth. It looked like an oil painting drawn by a child. .

Perhaps it was because of their excitement or the warm atmosphere that infected them. When they laughed, the two blobs of blush on their faces rose and fell with the flesh on their faces, and their bright red mouths grinned wide, revealing their white teeth and black holes mouth.

Yan Shixun knew that without Jiang Yanran, it would take more effort for him to come in alone, and he might not be able to pass in front of the villagers in such an open and aboveboard manner.So he walked very slowly, watching carefully along the way.

Jiang Yanran saw Yan Shixun's actions, but she didn't stop her. She just lowered her eyebrows and stared at Yan Shixun's cold hand.She didn't give her eyes to the villagers along the way. She didn't know whether she felt it was unnecessary or she was used to the scene.

From the moment she stepped into the yard, the bright smile from before disappeared from Jiang Yanran's face.

Yan Shixun didn't notice Jiang Yanran's changes, his attention was on those mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.As he passed them, he could hear them whispering.

Groups, covered under the sound of suona, gongs, drums and laughter, like unreal echoes.

"Have a good time, have a good time, the second girl of Yang's third family has a good time."

"Yang Laosan's good days are coming, and now he can have a son."

"If you have to have a son, you have to have a son no matter what."

"The eldest girl is not blessed. The eldest girl is a bad girl. She eloped with someone and her ancestors were ashamed."

"The ancestors will be appeased. The three members of Yang Lao's family have paid off their sins. If he marries a new wife, he will surely have a son."

"The second girl was originally married to an idiot from Zong's hometown. Her idiot husband heard that his new daughter-in-law was gone, so he wanted to rob her."

"If you can't grab it, you can't grab it, how can a man compete with a god."

"The second girl has to thank the eldest girl. If the eldest girl hadn't eloped with someone, how could the good things happen to her."

"I was afraid that she would be alone, so I sent her mother and grandma to accompany her. What a good marriage!"

……

More words were ambiguous, suppressed by laughter and excitement, like a cold dark river flowing from the ground.

Yan Shixun's footsteps stopped, his originally calm face was now expressionless and serious, his knife-sharp brows and eyes were terribly gloomy, to the extent that anyone who took a look at him would be cut.

"What's the matter, don't you want to go in?" Jiang Yanran's voice was very soft, but amidst the loud gongs, drums and suona, it still accurately reached Yan Shixun's ears.

She shook the hand held by Yan Shixun, raised her head and looked at Yan Shixun against the light, as if dazzled by the afternoon sun, she narrowed her eyes slightly, between the light and shadow, people can see Can't understand the emotion in her eyes.

"Man, you say you are curious, but you are afraid to see clearly." Jiang Yanran moved closer to Yan Shixun, and asked him softly, "Let go of my hand now, you can turn around and leave, the road is behind you."

As she said that, Jiang Yanran was about to break free from Yan Shixun's grasp, and there was no expression of joy or anger on her face without a smile.

The girl's white and slender palms were cold and stiff, but they were beautiful and smooth enough, without any signs of heavy work or calluses.It's like a fish, so cold and smooth that you can't catch it.

Yan Shixun's eyes turned from the smiling faces of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law beside him to Jiang Yanran's.

He lowered his eyelashes, a few strands of hair scattered on his forehead fell down, and shadows fell into his eyes.

"No, I'm just curious..."

Yan Shixun squeezed Jiang Yanran's hand hard again, but the strength was so strong that she couldn't break free: "What is the status of this family in the village, and the scene of marrying a daughter is so big that the whole village, old and young, Come see us off. It’s as lively as participating in a sacrifice.”

Jiang Yanran's movement of breaking free stopped.

When she stared at Yan Shixun in a trance, for a moment the lively scene around her seemed like the wind was blowing on the water, and the ripples blurred the scenery, distorting the smiles on everyone's faces.

Overlapping and staggering, hideous like a ghost.

Yan Shixun, who had been watching the surroundings vigilantly from the corner of his eye, was startled, and quickly looked to the side.

But before he could see clearly, everything had returned to normal.

And Jiang Yanran also put a smile on her face again.

"It's also possible that it's not that the status of the bride is good, but the status of the groom's official is high." Jiang Yanran tilted her head and asked Yan Shixun, "Is this possible?"

"Gold, silver and jewels are inexhaustible, and wealth and wealth are in front of you. Newlyweds ~ enjoy the blessings..."

The girl's voice was very soft, scattered in the air as soon as the wind blew, and was completely covered by the high-pitched suona sound.

Jiang Yanran turned around and continued to lead Yan Shixun forward.

As if she was just a child with a temper just now, she acted coquettishly towards Yan Shixun.

But Yan Shixun's eyes fell on Jiang Yanran again, but with deep inquiry.

He remembered very clearly that when Jiang Yanran asked him before entering the courtyard, she clearly said, don't let go of her hand, otherwise she will be eaten to the bone.

And when he appeared alone in the villagers' field of vision, the villagers' guard and hostility, and when Jiang Yanran brought him along, the villagers turned a blind eye, which also showed that what Jiang Yanran said was probably not a casual threat, but a fact.

——Although he still doesn't know exactly what's going on here, and he doesn't know what Jiang Yanran meant by "eating".But until he figured this out, he wasn't going to act rashly.

But just now, Jiang Yanran took the initiative to ask him to let go of her hand, and showed him the way out seemingly harmlessly.

Is it a retreat?

Or a dead end.

Yan Shixun was very sure that once he stood in the middle of the courtyard and let go of Jiang Yanran's hand, the villagers who suddenly discovered his existence would surround him tightly.

Even he, in this situation, couldn't escape without disturbing anyone.If you want to leave, you must have a fight with the villagers, but it is to startle the snake.

This girl...

Yan Shixun frowned, looking down at Jiang Yanran's back.
