Chapter 56 Worry

【Lingtai County】

There are so many types of rouge that I can't choose in time.

early morning.

People outside began to gather, and women and children began to make their unique and clearly visible noises. Although they were a little annoyed, I found it very cute to see those children looking at the door while looking at their mother asking for an explanation.

Soon, the sound of playing music came from outside the door, getting closer and closer, I knew that it was Xu Lang who had come.

He was wearing a blue robe with a round collar and a black belt, and he walked over quickly. I quickly grabbed the gauze curtain to cover it up, and saw him looking this way through the gap, and I was almost out of breath.

The nails embedded ten red marks on my fingers through the gauze curtain. When my father came out of the main room, Xu Lang turned around, saluted his father, and waved to the door, followed by a group of light blue pigments. The maids in the clothes walked in in small steps, holding trays of items covered with red cloth in their hands.

My maid Yulan sent someone to pick them up one by one, and then brought them to my room.

Xu Lang said a few words to his father, then saluted and left. I watched him go away, let go of the purple gauze curtain, went straight to the incense wood table and sat down, staring at the neatly arranged porcelain vases towards the east and began to be dazed. The excitement and discomfort of seeing Xu Lang just now are also separated now, the excitement has long since disappeared like Xu Lang's figure, and what is left is my hot face and the hot and red nail marks .

Tomorrow is the wedding day of Xu Lang and I. Xu Lang and I have known each other since we were young, and we have been each other's best playmates since we were young. If it was before, I would never have imagined that there is a red thread between us.

On the day the marriage was settled, I, who was good at talking, also began to have difficulty in articulating words, and my actions became cautious, as if there was an invisible thing in between, affecting my actions, no matter how I wanted to look up at Xu Lang, and finally They all lowered their heads, and their eyes began to roll wildly.

After that, I kept staring at the embroidery in my mother's hand, and then my mother asked me if the mandarin duck looked good, and I shook my head.

Xu Lang is no different from usual, he sat with his father, discussing how to organize the wedding, now Xu Lang has become the county magistrate, from the previous taciturn to the present smooth and eloquent, Magnolia will always be in my ears He said, miss is so lucky, you and Mr. Xu are really a match made in heaven!

I also feel the same way, everything seems to be settled, there is nothing forever, vows of eternal love, more of it will happen when it happens.

I'm very lucky.

The next morning, I woke up early. In fact, I didn't fall asleep. The drowsiness caused by a cup of tea was covered on my face. The waiters outside seemed to act the same as me, or even earlier than me.

The cool breeze in the morning drifted in from the window lattice, and the brush on the pen stand began to swing back and forth. I sat in front of the dressing table, erected the bronze mirror, and opened the mirror case. The things Xu Lang sent yesterday were placed in it one by one. , each skin is brightly colored, just as I was about to pick it up to watch, Magnolia came in, urging me, while starting to pull my hair.

After that, they began to apply lead powder, fat, goose yellow, black eyebrows, lip balm, face dimples, appliques, and put on turquoise skirts and thin hairpins.

During this process, I kept staring at the bronze mirror, and soon I didn’t know myself very well, I couldn’t tell whether I looked like it or not, but I just felt that everything was too unreal, I couldn’t tell the truth, and I felt excited.

In such a trance, everything was packed for me.

With the sound of playing music, Xu Lang also arrived, Yulan opened the door, and the servants who were busy outside the door just disappeared, only the father and mother stood outside the door, the two leaned together and looked at me with a smile , the lead powder my mother put on is whiter than before, maybe she thinks so too.

I walked up to my parents and walked side by side with them. At some point, two servants suddenly appeared beside the door and opened the door.

Xu Lang stood straight outside the door, dressed in red, habitually with one hand behind his back, looked up at me, I responded with a smile, and my mother also smiled and let me hold her hand tightly, what? She didn't say anything, just smiled, the sunken lines on her pale face were filled with lead powder, as white as dark.

I got into the sedan chair, and the people on that sedan chair changed from Xu Lang to a coachman. I opened the curtain of the sedan chair and saw that the peddlers on the street had long disappeared, and there were passers-by who were just watching. There is an empty road ahead, loud and festive music, and the sound of people laughing and fighting. It's too complicated, and I can't help but withdraw my hand.

It turns out that getting married is so troublesome.

When they arrived at Xu Lang's residence, the carriage stopped jolting, and when they got out of the sedan chair, they saw that all the places that could be stuffed with red cloth were stuffed up.

There were people standing on both sides of the door, and Xu Lang and I were walking together. Every time we took a step, a handful of beans would be thrown from their hands, and it hurt to hit the head.

When I walked to the door, there was a green basin, and the fire was burning. I stepped over it, and the people around me started cheering. After stepping over the brazier, I stepped on a cloth bag. Every step, my feet landed on the cloth bag. Above, listen to the mother's words, it is called, one generation after another, the meaning of passing on the family line.

When we arrived at the gate, we began to worship. Candles and incense were burned in the gate, and firecrackers were everywhere outside the gate. I looked at Xu Lang and held his hand, and I felt relieved immediately.

Although this wedding is not as fancy and flawless as I imagined when I was young, those are all fake and superficial things.

Now I am really holding Xu Lang's hand, looking at his well-dressed clothes and smiling, I can't help but think of the frogs we caught in the woods in the backyard when we were young, the muddy hands and faces, showing that they were not fully grown He looked so excited that he wanted to come to me to present treasures.

Thinking of this, I laughed out loud. When Xu Lang saw me like this, he also laughed softly, and the cheers outside the door became louder.

Our children in the future will also be so lovable.

It was dusk at the wedding banquet, and two hours later, it was time to worship the ancestors.

Our Lingtai County was born on our own, and we heard that there was a rule established here earlier. After the bride ceremony, every woman must go to the ancestral tomb alone to pay homage. From Xushi to Haishi, other people kneel and wait outside. Will accept the scrutiny of the ancestors, whether they have the ability to give birth to someone who can do something, wait for the woman to give birth to a child five years later, and then take that child to fulfill her vows, similarly, other people are waiting outside, and the woman takes the child to worship , from Chenshi to noon.

There are many talented people in Lingtai County who are good for mankind, and they will be buried there. Recently, a well-known Jinshi was buried. I don’t know much about it. Say, you're going to have a high school kid?

Xu Lang and I walked in front, and my parents walked behind us. The relatives and servants next to us all lit up lanterns to illuminate us. We walked in this deep forest. This clean forest is somewhat inconsistent.

After walking for about an hour, I finally saw some shadows in front of me. When I got closer, I saw a pine door embedded in the earth-gray arched house, and there were some peony patterns carved on the pine wood.

Everyone stood still here, I turned my head to look at Xu Lang, Xu Lang stroked my hand, and then opened it lightly, the granny in front understood and unlocked the door, and pushed the door open.

I have never been here before. This tomb looks like a porcelain bowl, and it doesn’t look big. I didn’t expect that the moment my grandma opened the door, what caught my eyes was long stone steps and the looming stone on the wall. Murals, it seems that I have to go a long way.

Grandma ordered the servants to light the lamps. There are oil platforms hanging on the wall every four steps. The servants hold torches in their hands and light them one by one. When the first one is lit, the paintings on the wall will appear immediately. What are Juren, Jinshi, and generals, soaring clouds and driving fog.

I don't know how long it took before the two servants got angry and came up. I felt more and more that it was a wrong decision for me to wear high-man shoes with pointed toes today.

The first step I walked down, I felt a damp cool wind, blowing on my face, a little cool, I turned my head to look at them, the waiter began to take out the red kneeling mat, and distributed it to everyone. Alone, I saw my neighbor Lizhang kneeling on it, still drunk, clasping his hands together as much as possible, eyes closed, staggering, and belching, which made people laugh.

And Xu Lang was kneeling in front of me, clasped his hands together, and looked at me with a frown. His handsome face showed a hint of worry.

This is nothing to worry about. For me who have been walking everywhere since I was a child, this is just like an ordinary step on the street.

I walked down the road. The road was really long, and some oil platforms were blown out by the wind, probably because the previous newlyweds did not refuel.

I started to pant and leaned against the wall. I was a little tired because of the same straight path and murals. It must have been half an hour since I entered here. How long will it take?

The shoes made my feet sore, and suddenly a gust of cool wind blew in, cooling the sweat on my forehead.

When it was time to arrive, I stood up straight and continued to move forward.

After walking for a certain distance, I saw that the two oil platforms in front of me had gone out again, and I could vaguely see a door. I thought, maybe it was here.

If there are still stairs behind the door, I will return.

When I got closer, I saw another pine door, which was probably repaired because the wood was moisture-proof.

There was something carved on the door. Because the oil platform was out, I pushed the door open without looking carefully.

In front of me was a screen carved with peonies. Through the screen, I could see large and small candles lit inside, illuminating the entire tomb. The candles were wrapped with gold threads, and the air was filled with paper money. Walking around the screen, he saw two paper figurines guarding the coffin, a man and a woman, with hollow eyes and blushing faces, and the costumes were painted very uniquely.

There are a few wooden sticks stuck in the middle of the candle lighting table, and there is wax oil next to it, probably the leftover candle sticks from burning. The white gauze curtains are hung on the wall, which seems a bit out of place for a newly married person like me. There are all kinds of porcelain on the left, all kinds of paper money on the right, and all kinds of calligraphy and paintings on the wall.

I picked up a candle and lit it, and just as I was about to put it on the table, I saw the words on the coffin: Therefore, in the coffin, there are all talented and brave people. , don't give birth to children, otherwise the misfortune of your ancestors will accompany you.

"The Purifier?" I repeated that sentence in a low voice, and the sparks of the candle shook a little.

Only innocent people can get what she wants, or they will suffer bad luck?What does this mean, and how is it to be innocent?

Then I folded my hands and knelt on the kneeling mat, looking at the Kodan I made today, before I had time to take a closer look, today has passed, let’s change the color tomorrow, I thought, and then I closed my eyes.

Suddenly I felt something pulling me, so strong that I fell back, I fell on the ground suddenly, a piece of white gauze fell sideways to fix my mouth, before I could react, my hands and feet I was bound by the iron chain, and my whole body was like a bow on the ground. I hurriedly looked around, but I didn't see a single figure, and suddenly a hand came over.

It gave me goosebumps all over my body, from my face to my neck.

It was a pair of white and dull hands with long nails, slowly coming to my skirt, there was a pause, my whole body tensed up, I didn't know what that person was going to do, or I just didn't want to know.

The hand paused for a moment and then retracted. After a while, the man stood in front of me with a black cloth on his head, took a pair of large scissors, leaned over to look at me, and cut my hair with the scissors. The skirt was cut slowly. There was only the sound of scissors grinding the cloth in the air. I breathed out cold air, not wanting to have too many ups and downs of breathing. When the man was cutting the skirt, his head kept turning to look at me. Although I can't see him clearly, I know where he is looking.

The cut was finished soon, and all my skin was exposed in the air. I looked at him in horror, and my head was completely blank.

He put down the scissors, leaned over, stroked and rubbed gently with his hands, just like cutting clothes, my tears began to gather in the corners of my eyes, all I could think about was Xu Lang, Xu Lang, Xu Lang ......

He started to loosen the waistband of his clothes, I closed my eyes, his hands were still rubbing, stroking every corner of my body.

His whole body bent down, his cold chest pressed against mine, rubbing repeatedly, as if trying to absorb all the heat in my body.

He took off the black veil covering half of his face, revealing only a pale mouth, took something similar to a steamed bun and put it in my mouth, immobilizing my teeth, and his whole body stuck down.

Stretch out the warm tongue and entangle with mine, I feel ashamed, cold and hot in my body.

In the end, I felt a hot object different from other parts of him, moving and rubbing in the place where I was trying to close it. I remembered the paintings my mother showed me before, and tears began to flow down uncontrollably. Xu Lang, Xu Lang...

Suddenly a kind of pain came to my heart, it was a kind of pain that the wound was forcibly torn open, the lower limbs began to shrink inwardly, but the more I contracted, the more clearly I could feel the scorching heat. Power is stirring.

Soon, I couldn't bear such a long-term impact, and my whole tense body suddenly relaxed, allowing him to keep bumping forward, and he kept leaning forward, his eyes covered with black veil Watch my reaction.

Gradually, the pain turned into an unexpected feeling, accompanied by excitement and panting, a strange voice came out of my throat, accompanied by panting, it was a sound I had never thought of, like The joy emanating from the soul in the emptiness.

I started to get excited because of the sound, trying to pour it all out of my throat.

Then I felt that my whole body began to lighten up, as if I was about to peel off this body, and then fell back heavily. This kind of feeling one after another gave me a sense of joy, and all the shame was thrown into the sky Besides, what is left is only the air of love between men and women combined with the smell of incense and paper money. The man seemed to see that I was also enjoying it, so he intensified, constantly colliding, groaning, and panting arrogantly, really enjoying it .

"Pure Jue?" The copper bell rang.

Not long after, exhausted, I was still hot and out of breath even though I wasn't wearing anything, he lay next to me, looking at me with his black veiled face.

"Don't be blindfolded, isn't it hot?" I looked at him and asked.

He stood up, went forward, picked up the clothes, walked over, and looked at me. At this moment, I was sweating all over my body, like a white bead that had just been washed with water in this dim yellow room.

He squatted down and started stroking my stomach with his hands. I thought he was going to come again, so I closed my eyes, opened my mouth slightly, showing my teeth, and put my tongue on it, like a pink worm waiting for a host, I gasped Gas, began to wait.

"brush"

I only heard the sound of a sharp object piercing the air, and then piercing my skin, and continued to penetrate deeper, breaking through several layers of flesh, and then stopped moving, then twisted the sharp object around with all my strength, and the blood poured out like water from a well out.

My eyes widened all of a sudden. Although I hadn't realized how painful it was, what terrified me was what happened next.

He brushed away half of the black veil and revealed the pale lips, sucked the black scissors, sucked crazily, and stroked my chest with the other hand, just like before, as if to comfort me.

But I didn't feel the slightest, more fear.

Then I started to feel pain, intense and continuous, my whole abdomen began to tighten, and my head began to feel dizzy, unlike just now, it was a feeling of borderline death.

His hands began to press on my wound, I just wanted to shrink from the pain, but found that my hands and feet had been locked in the beginning, and now I was like a feast to him...Xu Lang, Xu Lang ah……

Slowly, the pain disappeared, and I turned numb from the pain just now, and finally lost consciousness...

One of the paper figurines was blown down by the wind, the candles had already been burned out, and the incense papers were still piled up in place, the surroundings began to darken, and the white gauze curtains floated gently, covering the dense atmosphere.

A few pieces of green skirts were piled up on the ground, and a few hairpins were neatly arranged. The cold stone wall was stained with lead grease that was smoothed by people, and it was embedded in the small gaps in the stone wall, glowing white. In front of the coffin was a Gaomanshoes, the side of the coffin was stained with blood. Inside the coffin were a Jinshi who was almost decomposed and a naked woman with seven or eight smooth blood holes in her chest and abdomen.

It is written on the front of the coffin: "So in the coffin, there are all talented and brave people. If you are a clean one, you will get the king's desire. If you are not, go away immediately and don't give birth to a child. Otherwise, the fate of your ancestors will accompany you. .”

"Brother son, how long has the lady been in, is it too late?"

"Maybe she wants to beg for a while, don't rush her, she is wearing high mans shoes today, walking slowly."
