A section of red silk fell on Shen Xingyue's hand. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info At the other end, it fell on Xiao Mo's hand.

"Congratulations to both, congratulations to both." The old man walked over with a smile and tied one end of the red silk to Shen Xingyue's wrist, and tied the other end to Xiao Mo's wrist, Xiao Mo seemed to hesitate, but he didn't say anything, by his movements.

Shen Xingyue's five senses are keen, although she is not familiar with the illusion of the first snow, but she is quite familiar with Xiao Mo, Xiao Mo has an expression she senses that something is wrong, and she can't help but raise her eyes and look at Xiao Mo with inquiring eyes.

However, at this time, the reveling villagers had already surrounded them, singing and dancing to arrange a banquet, which made people hesitate at all.

The old man said: "The two of them are really a natural couple, fairy couples." Our village will have a tree god sacrifice every 20 years, you see this tree, the legend is a couple who love each other, because they were killed by the adulterer so they had to separate, they were reluctant to each other, the woman committed suicide at this time, and the man held her body in the same place for three days and three nights, turned into such a tree that is connected forever, and this acacia tree, for thousands of years to guard our village, so that lovers are not separated, husband and wife love, children and grandchildren are prosperous. ”

Shen Xingyue didn't understand why the old man told them this, but in this situation, he naturally nodded: "So that's the case."

The old man smiled: "Every twenty years, we will select a pair from the loving little lovers in the village to hold a sacrifice for the tree god, and this pair of lovers is not anyone who wants to do it, they must be under the tree to drink to the gods, and the tree god will take a fancy to the red silk, and the two will be connected wrists and never separated." ”

Shen Xingyue looked at the red silk and only felt that the red was a little dazzling, but obviously now was not the time to explain her relationship with Xiao Mo, so she had to smile and say that it was so.

But Xiao Mo, with a gloomy face, not only was not the slightest bit happy, but he didn't even have a pretended smiling face, only Shen Xingyue looked a little unhappy in his heart, even if there is a difference between shemales, we are not a real husband and wife, so don't have to show the disgust so obviously, there is really no face at all.

Shen Xingyue pulled the red silk at night and sighed: "I'm afraid that there are other women in my husband's heart, and they don't want to be tied to me alone, and I will live up to the heart of the acacia tree." ”

The old man's face stiffened, and then he said: "Impossible, the acacia tree will never choose the wrong person, Madame, don't worry." ”

"Acacia Tree naturally won't choose the wrong person, and the woman next to me is just passing by and acting on the spot." Xiao Mo held Shen Xingyue's hand with his backhand, and secretly exerted force: "In my heart, there is always only you." ”

Shen Xingyue was almost stupefied by Xiao Mo's sudden confession, but the strength of her hand made her understand that Xiao Mo must have something to say to him, but she couldn't find a chance on the current occasion. And the acacia tree, this sacred tree sacrifice, must have hidden some inside story.

When the old man saw Xiao Mo confessing to Shen Xingyue in a daze, he only thought that the little couple was embarrassed to show affection in front of everyone, put down a big stone in his heart, and laughed: "Okay, okay, the acacia tree will definitely be free of charge for you." Two guests, please come with me, tonight, you are the guests of Hongcun, you must not get drunk and do not return. ”

The villagers rushed up, and the girls in costume stepped forward and half-pulled and half-pulled, and let the two of them take the top seats at the banquet. At this time, dozens of tables of banquets have been placed in the open space next to the acacia tree, there are a lot of chickens, ducks and fish on the table, and the wine is one jar after another, as if it is planning to carnival all night.

The old man raised the wine bowl and said loudly: "Fellow villagers, let us raise our glasses and salute these two together, they are the people chosen by the acacia tree and the lucky stars of our Hongcun." ”

The atmosphere at the banquet was very lively, the older people were fine, and the young people were screaming, almost wanting to jump on the table and dance a song.

Although Shen Xingyue and Xiao Mo's wrists were tied together and there were many inconveniences, they still drank a lot under the persuasion of everyone, but this wine had a feeling of bitterness the more they drank, but it was impossible for Shen Xingyue to get drunk, and no matter how strong the wine was, it was impossible to soften the heart of a stone.

But Xiao Mo was just an ordinary person, he seemed to drink a little too much, and his speech was a little unfavorable, and he put his head on Shen Xingyue's shoulder, a little unable to control himself.

Shen Xingyue vaguely felt that something was wrong in her heart, raised her hand tied with red silk and touched Xiao Mo's face, and said, "Are you drunk?" ”

"I'm not drunk, how can I be drunk?" Xiao Mo smiled, stretched out his hand to stop Shen Xingyue's neck, and seemed to say something in her ear affectionately.

Then, a quarter of an hour later, Shen Xingyue was also drunk, and the two leaned against each other and lay on the table, with a strong smell of wine.

The village chief sitting beside Xiao Mo exhaled a long breath, put down the wine bowl, and made a color to the people behind him.

Immediately, a few young men of five big and three thick came over, and one of them picked up Xiao Mo and Shen Xingyue and walked out.

Although Xiao Mo closed his eyes and staggered, he was very conscious, and felt that he was helped into a similar room, and the long red silk trapped the two of them densely, and then the village name couldn't understand the words and left after a few words. The wooden door was shut, and the footsteps faded away.

Shen Xingyue opened her eyes, only to see that there was darkness around her, and said in a low voice, "Stone." ”

With a flash of light, the stone spirit flashed out of Shen Xingyue's arm and suspended in the air, illuminating the surroundings.

After looking around, I realized that I was not locked in a room, but a cellar.

"Xiao Mo, what are they doing, the whole village is trying to make money and kill people, but you haven't shown your wealth." Shen Xingyue moved, and the ribbon tied to her body loosened by herself, and fell down in a circle: "What is Chu Xue's mind thinking about every day, either blocking the road and robbing or seeking money and killing people, you have already found out?" ”

"When I heard the village chief talk about the legend of the acacia tree just now, I noticed that something was wrong." Xiao Mo said: "Because I have also heard the legend of the acacia tree, but it is not an auspicious and festive thing, but every year in the village, a pair of young men and women are selected to sacrifice to the tree god, that is, dig a pit under the tree, bury them alive, and give them to the tree god as a descendant." Obviously, no one in the village was willing to make this sacrifice, but it just so happened that we came, and the tree god approved again, so he asked us to be the substitute for the dead ghosts. ”

No wonder the people in the village are so happy, they are all villagers, it is inevitable that every family will be related to each other, and whoever is buried alive will cause many people to be sad. And at this time, two outsiders came, although it was inevitable to feel guilty, but after all, if you have to die, outsiders are better than your own people.
