Chapter 40: The Unexpected
"No, since I promised to have a secret marriage with Qiaoqiao, I must not give up halfway, otherwise Qiaoqiao will be lonely below, and I will be very sad in my heart......" Suddenly, Li Mu came to us quickly, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said firmly: "Mr. Yang, please help us with the secret marriage, no matter what, I will give Qiaoqiao a satisfactory wedding." Uncle, aunt, do you all support me? ”
"Good boy paper, Qiaoqiao really didn't see the wrong person, woo woo woo ......" Zhang's mother heard this, and suddenly couldn't stop crying, and Zhang's father also sighed and nodded again and again.
The master nodded slightly and said, "In that case, the secret marriage will be held tomorrow night." However, your daughter Zhang Qiaoqiao's coffin should be buried in advance, and before the unitary hour tomorrow afternoon, you must send the coffin into the ground, and at midnight, it is the time to hold the underworld wedding. As we spoke, we had already returned to the hall, and Zhang's father and mother also nodded frequently.
After a brief discussion, Zhang's father and the villagers agreed on tomorrow's affairs and sent them home. Master and I, as well as Li Mu, were arranged to live in a side room on the west side, and the night was so dark that it was difficult to sleep, and in the haze, perhaps it was near dawn that I fell asleep. This sleep was until the afternoon of the next day, until I was woken up by Li Mu, rubbed my eyes, and asked Li Mu, "Xiao Mu, what's the situation outside?" ”
Li Mu said with a melancholy face: "Qiaoqiao's coffin has been sent to the ground and has just left. ”
When I heard this, I hurriedly got out of bed, but when I saw that Master, Zhang's father, and Zhang's mother were all sitting in the hall, I couldn't help but turn my head to look outside, and sure enough, the coffin in the spiritual shed was gone. Stunned, he asked Li Mu, "Xiao Mu, why don't you go and take a look?" Where is Qiaoqiao's grave? ”
Li Mu lowered his head silently and said, "I don't know, anyway, they won't let me send Qiaoqiao, and my uncle and aunt didn't go either." However, I heard from the villagers that Qiaoqiao's grave was at the foot of the mountain two miles east of the village. I guess when the time comes to the night wedding, we should know the place. After speaking, Li Mu turned around and found a place to sit down, his face was depressed, thinking about it, it would be strange if he could be happy at the moment.
As for not letting Li Mu send Qiaoqiao, I thought about it in my heart and already understood that Qiaoqiao belonged to the young people who died young, and there were no descendants below, and the funeral could not be done in a big way.
On Master's side, I was discussing something with Father Zhang, so I stepped forward to listen, only to hear Master say: "Everyone has a number of other matters in their hearts now, and Granny Yue's arrangement last night was also very suitable, but unfortunately there was a change in the middle." Let's just do it in this order tonight! ”
"By the way, Mr. Yang, I haven't found a candidate for Qiaoqiao's stand-in tonight, and the people in the village don't want to let their daughters get involved in this kind of thing, and they are afraid of provoking bad luck." Zhang's father sighed with a look of embarrassment: "If you can't find an unmarried woman, what can you do?" Alas, Mr. Yang, if you really can't find it by then, I don't think this secret marriage will be done, and now we have figured it out, we can't let Xiao Mu have no way to live in the future, right? ”
The master smiled strangely and said, "You don't have to look for the unmarried woman who is married to Xiao Mu tonight, I have already chosen it for you." ”
"Oh? Got it? Father Zhang looked at his wife in shock, then looked at the master again, and hurriedly asked, "But Mr. Yang didn't go out today, how did he find it?" Which family's daughter is she, I think it is still the two of us to ask for a request in person to show face, otherwise the girl's marriage in the future may also be a troublesome matter, recklessly help our family's secret marriage, and it will inevitably be true in the future! ”
The Master shook his head and said, "You don't have to bother, the man will come to help then." After saying that, the master closed his eyes and pondered, and said no more.
I was also stunned, what kind of medicine is sold in Master's gourd? It stands to reason that we have only been here for two or three days, and we don't know anyone here, so how can Master say that if we find someone, we can find it? You must know that Zhang's father and mother have not tried their best to convince the people in the village to help, and the master can just sit at home and not move, and he can say that someone will come to help, which is really a bit miraculous!
But I still choose to believe Master, because Master never said empty words, he said that someone will come, and someone will come. I never dared to doubt that.
It was getting dark, the villagers had already returned, and Zhang's mother and Zhang's father Zhang Luo's meals were served on the table, and we gathered together for dinner. At this moment, the master first found me and whispered, "You go to the entrance of the village to answer it, I guess it is time to come here." Hearing Master's words, I nodded in astonishment and walked out.
But before he could go far, Li Mu also chased after him, and asked curiously: "Brother Ergou, why are you going?" ”
"Oh, my master asked me to pick up someone, the unmarried woman who is holding Zhang Qiaoqiao's stand-in and your worship tonight. But I don't know who that person is...... "I tilted my head and thought about it, Master asked me to pick up people at the entrance of the village, could it be that the person is not from this village?" Since it is not from Huquagou, there are no other villages nearby, the only village is Feng'er Village, that is Li Mu's village, is it from Feng'er Village? Well? I suddenly slapped myself on the back of the head and grinned: "Xiao Mu, I seem to know who is coming, you go with me, let you see it too, hehe!" ”
Li Mu was a little confused, and asked curiously while chasing me: "Brother Ergou, who is it?" ”
I ignored Li Mu until we came to the entrance of the village, I carefully touched the surroundings, and couldn't help but murmur: "Why is there no one?" It stands to reason that it should come! As I spoke, I glanced up at the sky, it was the moon tonight, and there were not many stars, especially the night was extremely dark, but I could still see everything around me.
Running quickly to a dirt slope, I hurriedly beckoned to Li Mu, Li Mu ran up for some reason, and asked again: "Brother Ergou, who is coming?" ”
Hearing Li Mu's words, I hurriedly glanced down at the road leading to the outside at the entrance of the village, and sure enough, there was a figure walking between it sometimes fast and sometimes slowly. Seeing this, I pulled Li Mu and said, "Xiao Mu, look, that person is here, hehe!" Seeing that the night is dark and windy, let's go and pick it up, a girl must be afraid to walk at night. Without saying anything, he pulled Li Mu and ran down, and then waved to the figure in the distance.
After a while, Li Mu stared at the person in front of him in disbelief, and then said in disbelief: "She...... Is she Han Xiaomei? Why is she? She actually came to help me and Qiaoqiao get married, this ......" Looking at Li Mu's incredible expression, I couldn't help but be happy, Master is really clever, now I finally understand what Master whispered to Han Xiaomei before, I must have told Han Xiaomei to help Li Mu tonight.
No, Han Xiaomei is really here, so can Li Mu, this kid not be moved? And then logically...... Marriage is really a wonderful line, maybe who's tied up with whom, maybe who's destined not to be with whom. When Li Mu and Han Xiaomei came together, they both looked at each other, and neither of them took the lead in saying a word. But it didn't take long for Li Mu to say with a blaming face: "Why did you come?" Aren't you scared in the middle of the night?! ”
Han Xiaomei pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "What, my friend has a favor to help, can't I come to help?" Besides, you're going to have to help me tonight, am I right? ”
Li Mu scratched the back of his head in a panic and said, "But...... But what you are asked to do, I'm afraid you won't want to. And it won't be too good for your reputation, Xiaomei, you really don't have to pay so much to help me, I ...... I really don't know how to repay you. After speaking, Li Mu slowly lowered his head.
Han Xiaomei looked at Li Mu quietly, then pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "What, do you have any other candidates?" If you have, I can go now. ”
"Xiaomei."
Li Mu suddenly stretched out his hand to grab Xiaomei, then lowered his head and said, "I'm just worried that your mother will scold you again." ”
Han Xiaomei turned her head, but she sneered: "If my mother scolds me at that time, you can help you bear it, are you a man, are you afraid that you will not be able to be scolded twice?" ”
"That's not it, it's ...... anyway" Li Mu was a little anxious, as if he didn't know how to explain it.
I couldn't help but laugh and said, "Don't worry about it, what will happen after you go back, you will have to know after you go back, and the top priority now is to get married." Let's go back quickly, don't let my master wait, now that the time is approaching, I must have begun to prepare for action. With that, I waved my hand at the two of them and walked back first, leaving the two of them to walk slowly behind.
If Li Mu can really get together with Han Xiaomei this time, it will not be in vain for the master's painstaking arrangement, and it will also solve Li Mu's lifelong affairs. What's more, Han Xiaomei has a deep affection for Li Mu, which seems to be seen by a blind person without a discerning eye.
I just returned to the courtyard, but when I saw that everyone had already arranged for their positions, Master said to me anxiously, "Why did you come back?" The time is almost over, fast, and now it is still in the auspicious time, please Zhang Qiaoqiao's parents are seated, the man is on the left and the woman is on the right, Li Mu is standing on the left, Xiaomei is holding Zhang Qiaoqiao's photo and standing on the right, worship heaven and earth and parents first! As he spoke, the master hurriedly motioned to Zhang's mother to hand over the photo to Han Xiaomei.
