In the main room, a wooden box hung with red silk was placed on the wooden table. Compared with other betrothal gifts, it looked quite unique.

Yuntian put the tray on the table and while placing the tea set, he deliberately increased the amplitude of his movements and pushed the wooden box to the edge of the table.

Seeing that the wooden box was about to fall, Yun Haiying pushed the box back and said:

"Be careful, are you going to fall if you don't see it?"

"I only have one hand. Sorry to have delayed your tea time!" Yuntian said expressionlessly.

Yun Haiying was furious and was about to explode, but Gu Yinfeng quickly tried to smooth things over:

"We can do it ourselves. Xiaotian is not in good health, so let him rest more."

Without saying a word, Yuntian picked up the tray and walked outside. He did not go back to the kitchen, but slammed the door and went back to his room.

When he entered the house, he buried his head in the quilt, just wanting to block out the sound of conversation coming from outside, but not long after, he stood in front of the door, listening carefully to the movements in the main room.

After a full hour, the noise in the main room became louder and a group of people could be heard getting up and walking towards the yard.

Yun Tian calculated the time and waited for Yun Haiying to come back after sending the people. Then he rushed out and blocked Yun Haiying in the middle of the yard, saying:

"Mom, I don't agree to this marriage!"

Yun Haiying's expression was no longer as serious as before, and he said:

"Go into your room and talk!"

The mother and son returned to the house. Yun Haiying carefully closed the door, sat on a stool, and said:

"It's been so many years since this happened! Don't let Wu Jiu know about it."

"You can keep it from him, but how can you forget how Dad died?"

Yun Haiying sighed and said:

"At first, I had the same idea as you. The Gu family killed your father, so how could we marry into their family? But think about it, isn't Gu Jinfeng already dead? You've also seen how happy Tian Wujiu is these days. Do we really need to continue the hatred for this old matter?"

Yuntian was originally furious, but after hearing these words, he gradually showed a hesitant look.

"It's hard to say who really did anything wrong back then. You should have been there when Gu Jinfeng died. She was not the captain of your team. Do you think she was a bad person or a good person? If you want to blame someone, you can only blame us for being born in such a world."

Yuntian was silent. He recalled the night of the snake disaster. After the captain of their team died, it was Gu Jinfeng who stepped forward and stopped the giant snake of the sixth level of Qi training. In the end, they died together with the snake.

If it weren't for Gu Jinfeng, he would probably not even have half of his life left.

The room fell into silence, and suddenly there was a knock on the door:

"Brother Tian, ​​are you there? Where's Dad?"

"Come in!" said Yun Haiying.

The door was pushed open, Li Wujiu pried open the door, poked his head out, and asked with a smile:

"What are you guys whispering about? What do you want to eat for lunch? How about I make you some cold pig ears!"

"This is a real dish. Your mother finally gets some credit from you." Yun Haiying said with a smile.

"Mom!" Li Wujiu's smiling face showed a hint of happiness.

This scene fell into Yuntian's eyes, and his originally wavering obsession collapsed. He stood up and said:

"I want to eat too. Come on, I'll help you light the fire."

In the days that followed, the mother and her two children from the Yun family devoted themselves to preparing for the wedding and were busy every day.

In the busyness, half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and it was the third day of July.

The weather was extremely hot that day. Even if you hid in the shade, you couldn't help sweating.

As soon as it was Shen time, Li Wujiu rushed out of Yun's house and ran out of the village under the scorching sun.

These days, he would go out of the village to run a long circle at this time every day. Strengthening his muscles was secondary, but the main purpose was to get married in the most beautiful appearance and get a darker tan.

Ever since he learned that sunbathing can make one darker, he has insisted on doing so, but usually after just a winter, his skin will turn white again.

Li Wujiu ran for half an hour under the scorching sun, then, panting, went to rest under a big tree by the river.

Although he was in a shady place, Li Wujiu still felt as if his whole body was on fire due to the intense exercise, and sweat was pouring down.

Occasionally, there would be wind blowing, but it would bring a heat wave that made people feel even more uncomfortable.

"It's too hot!" Li Wujiu wiped the sweat off his forehead, ran to the river, pulled aside the half-man-high reeds, and buried his face directly in the water.

The cool water rushes across your face, making you feel refreshed and invigorated instantly.

Li Wujiu drank a few sips of water and saw that there was no one else around, so he took off his outer clothes and shoes, and jumped into the river wearing only his underwear.

The water by the creek was only half a person's height deep. He sat in the water with only his head exposed, feeling extremely comfortable.

“So cool!”

Li Wujiu squinted his eyes, enjoying this moment of relaxation, when a stone suddenly flew out from behind him, creating a series of splashes in the river in front of him.

"Who is it?" Li Wujiu quickly turned his head, and when he saw the figure, surprise immediately appeared on his face.

The graceful figure and wheat-colored skin, isn't she his future wife, Gu Yanjun.

"I'll keep quiet and wait for her to get closer before scaring her."

Li Wujiu held his breath and waited quietly, without taking his eyes off the other person.

Gu Yanjun was dressed in purple. After throwing a stone, she bent down again to pick up another one and threw it into the water.

After throwing the stone, he stood there in a daze, with a hint of sadness between his brows.

"Why is she so unhappy?" Li Wujiu was puzzled. In three days, it would be their wedding day.

After a while, Gu Yanjun suddenly sighed and said:

"Who can you blame? You are a woman after all!"

After he finished speaking, he turned around suddenly, leaped onto the edge of the field, and walked towards the downstream of the stream.

"Who said you are a woman? What does that mean? Who is she talking about?" Li Wujiu was full of doubts in the reeds. Seeing the other party walking downstream, he just kept his head above the water and followed carefully.

Gu Yanjun didn't walk fast, and looked around from time to time, as if she was on guard against something.

Li Wujiu followed for a while, and became even more confused. He then became cautious and lagged far behind.

The two of them walked one after the other down the stream and soon saw the Ruoshui Lake in the distance.

By the side of Ruoshui Lake, there stands a towering temple, covered with green vines. It is unknown how long it has been abandoned.

When he was a child, Li Wujiu was told that he must never go near the temple because there was a monster sealed inside that was more terrifying than a giant snake and specialized in eating children's hearts.

Moreover, after the last golden light appeared, the Wizard Saint issued a decree prohibiting everyone in the village from approaching the temple.

However, at this time, Gu Yanjun stopped again, looked around, and then went into the vines and wormwood, heading towards the towering temple.

Li Wujiu was very confused and didn't know where Gu Yanjun was going. Seeing her figure disappear in the weeds, he hurriedly went ashore and followed quietly.
