Chapter 33: The Game of Gambling
A poem in the Book of Songs that I recited by Myoan means that from now on, we will accompany each other for life and never leave each other.
All the barriers that were pressing on my heart and all the suspicion about her disappeared at this moment.
When the guests dispersed, it was already dark.
According to our etiquette, the brides must have red veils when getting married, usually they are covered before leaving the door in the morning, and then the wedding banquet will be closed at night before the groom returns to the bridal chamber.
Calculate the time, Yumeng's red veil has been covered for almost ten hours, and I wonder if I feel impatient.
When I was toasting, I couldn't help but persuaded me. After drinking a few more drinks, I staggered when I entered the bridal chamber, and I didn't master the strength when I pushed the door, and suddenly I broke it open.
My sister-in-law accompanied the wife in the house. When she saw me in, she took me out.
The red candles swayed, the red quilts and red silk tents, and the red body of the bell, the whole house was filled with joy.
I lifted her red veil, revealing a peerless face with exquisite makeup.
The eyebrows were painted, inserted diagonally into the temples, and the long eyelashes were hung on the face.
Her lips were originally a little sharp, but she only showed a little gentleness after applying lipstick.
Seeing her lowered her head and silent, I continued to drink and hooked her chin with my hands and looked her straight into the eyes.
The more I looked at it, the more I felt happy from the bottom of my heart. I couldn't help but lower my head and wanted to kiss her on the cheek.
She was about to kiss her, but she didn't expect that she would suddenly break free, get up and stand up, and said coldly: "It's time for me to leave."
"What?" I didn't understand what she meant for a moment.
"Don't worry, your engagement has been completed, and I will use this to declare my entry into the world. No matter who wants to touch you again, you must first ask me what Lin Feng means." said Wang Feng.
"Do you think I married you to let you protect me?" I asked.
"Isn't it?"
I was speechless because I couldn't find any words to refute her.
From the beginning, Liu Hechou made this abacus, and my master's wife also said that the Next Yuan Festival is my destiny, and only the Yellow River Queen is my glimmer of hope.
The most important thing is that if it weren't for Liu Hechou's connection, I might not have seen my wife for the rest of my life, let alone marry her.
"I don't deny that you said I married you to protect me. If you want to leave, I won't force you to stay. I just want to ask you one thing." I said in the eyes.
"You ask."
"Why did you marry me?"
The reason I asked this is because with her ability, if she didn't want to marry me, Liu Hechou would have no way to force her.
Marrying me is not just for the sake of entering the world, nor for the tears of mermaids. According to the master's wife, even ghosts don't take their skills seriously. I believe that she really wants to be determined to enter the world, and not many people can make things difficult for her.
Yu Hun fell silent and said for a long time, "There is a reason I marry you."
"Is it related to my life experience?" I asked.
I, Xie Lan, have been mediocre all my life, and I am not amazing and not outstanding in appearance. Apart from my mysterious life experience, I really can't think of the reason why she married me.
"You guessed it right." Yumeng did not deny it.
"Do you know who Liu Hechou stole for me?" I asked again.
"I don't know. Your life experience is covered by the way of heaven. Not to mention that no one in the world can see through it. Even the underworld can only use the King of Hell to explain things."
"Then why did you say that you married me because of my life experience?" I was a little confused.
"I'm gambling, Liu Hechou and I are betting that he stole the life of that person. If you are really him, don't say you marry you as a wife, or as a slave, I'm willing to do so."
This time it was my turn to remain silent, and my heart was filled with bitterness. It was not me who wanted to marry, but another person.
No matter how hard I wanted to break my head, I couldn't imagine that the reason why she married me was from such a big gamble. What I couldn't imagine was that Liu Hechou, the person who stole my life, was actually gambling, and even he was not sure whose life he stole was.
And it is obvious that Liu Hechou and she are in the same group.
From beginning to end, it was not Liu Hechou who helped me plot against her, but Liu Hechou was always working with her to plot against me.
Liu Hechou said that my life experience was in the Jiulong Cave, and the Jiulong Cave was blinded by the secrets of heaven. So he didn't know whose life he stole for me, and it was easy to figure it out.
However, the Nine Dragon Cave is neither the Reincarnation Well nor the Resurrection Cliff. How many lives can there be stolen in it?
"How many lives are there in the Jiulong Cave?" I asked when I thought of this.
"Two." said Wang Huan.
This answer is the same as I guess, and there will definitely not be too much. If there are too many, Meng will not bet on her marriage.
"Since you dare to bet, you must know whose lives are?" I asked again.
"I naturally know who it is, and you will understand it yourself when the next Yuan Dynasty."
When Yu Hun left, I followed her and saw her out. After all, it was a good time to send her off for a couple.
Unlike me who took her home from the Yellow River, this time she was in front and I followed behind.
She did not use any magic along the way, so she walked towards Xiaba Village step by step, but we didn't say anything along the way.
When I arrived at the river bank next to the ancient altar, I thought she would leave resolutely, but she suddenly turned around and asked me: "Have you thought about how to explain my departure to my parents tomorrow?"
"Is this important?" I asked with a wry smile.
Compared to the reason why she married me, I think how to explain her departure to my parents is simply a trivial matter.
"It's not very important." After saying that, Yu Huan entered the water from the shore and walked step by step towards the heart of the river.
The river water was hidden from her ankles and knees, little by little from her slender and tender waist, and then to her shoulders...
Just when she was about to disappear, she suddenly turned around and said to me: "Xie Lan, it's not only me and Liu Hechou who are gambled with you, but also Tianshi Mansion."
...
The next day, my parents asked about Vivian and I said she had something to do and went back to her parents' home. Her parents knew about this, so they didn't ask much.
I went to the paper-making shop again. Liu He was worried that I could only ask her if I asked.
After meeting, I told my master's wife everything I knew from my wife. She looked surprised and didn't look like a disguise at all.
After hearing this, the master's wife told me with a wry smile that she now understands why Liu Hechou left her. The reason is very simple. There are too many secrets on Liu Hechou, and such people are only suitable for living alone.
Fortunately, if my teacher's wife is straightforward and willing to tell everything about it, it will make me directly doubt life.
No one wants to be surrounded by a group of actors, especially among them there are actors at the level of actors...
"I always thought Uncle Bai was standing on my side, but I didn't expect that he and the Empress Huanghe were in the same group." I sighed and said.
"Xie Lan, it doesn't matter who Liu Hechou is with, the result is the same." said the master's wife.
I understand what she meant. No matter who Liu Hechou stood on, the result he sought was my wedding with Yuen, and then he saved my life.
Because if Meng Hun and I don’t get married, there will be no cause and effect of life and death between us.
Now that my great gift to her has been completed, she has also declared her entry into the world. From now on, no matter whether it is a ghost general in the underworld or a Taoist sect with each secret, they will no longer touch me easily. At least I don’t have to worry about my life before the next Yuan Dynasty.
From this point of view, it really doesn't matter who Liu Hechou is with, but I don't want to be fooled like a fool.
Suddenly I remembered something again, and Wang Huan said that the Tianshi Mansion was also betting on me, so what were they betting on?
"Master's wife, my wife said that the Tianshi Mansion is also gambling. Do you know what they are gambling?" I asked.
The master's wife showed a painful expression, and after a long time, she said, "Actually, there is something I always think I have always found strange. It is said that you and Liu Hechou are so close, and they have experienced the immortal death of the King of Hell three times. The Heavenly Master Mansion will definitely have ideas about you, but they seem to think that you don't exist, and they don't even investigate the death of Chen Qiu because of you."
"It's very strange." I said.
"But I heard from the Yellow River that the Heavenly Master Mansion is also gambling, so I figured it out. The Heavenly Master Mansion is also gambling your life, but they are gambling another one."
Wang Huan said that there are two lives in the Kowloon Cave.
She and Liu Hechou had a bet on one, so the Tianshi Mansion could only bet on another one.
"I don't know whose life Liu Hechou bet on with the Yellow River Queen, but I can roughly guess this other life!" The master's wife suddenly said excitedly.
