Chapter 537
"Nothing happened overnight..."
Bai Yuan stood at the door and looked at the village outside.
After the villagers' hard work overnight, the village was filled with a festive atmosphere, as if everyone in the village was looking forward to today's happy event.
"Could it be that I really made a mistake..."
He shook his head, then turned back and said:
"No, Lao Wang, don't look for it, I have locked the kitchen door!"
"..."
After a while, Wang Qing and the other two came out with a look of disappointment,
"You actually prepared it?"
"Otherwise, how dare I cheat?"
Bai Yuan grinned and said:
"Okay, clean up and get ready to get down to business!"
Soon, Wang Qing put away all the mahjong on the table, and said:
"Is there anything going on?"
"No."
Bai Yuan shook his head and said:
"But isn't there a wedding in this village today? Let's go and take a look, maybe we will find something."
The four left their residence and walked on the dirt road in the village,
"Is there no wedding procession?"
Bai Yuan frowned slightly and said to himself,
I thought the village would be very lively at this moment, but they didn't see many villagers along the way, let alone any huge wedding procession.
At this moment,
He looked at a passing villager and said:
"Auntie, isn't there a wedding in the village today? I want to ask which family is having it? We want to join in the fun."
"You are the outsiders who came yesterday, right?"
The old lady looked at the four people and said with a smile:
"It's still early. The bride won't come until twelve o'clock. You can rest in the house."
"It's not early, is it?"
Bai Yuan was slightly startled and said:
"It's almost ten o'clock now. I haven't seen any wedding procession. There doesn't seem to be anyone at the entrance of the village."
"Young man, you are not the groom, why are you in such a hurry?"
The old lady said cheerfully:
"Everyone is busy doing farm work. It's impossible for them to wait at the entrance of the village for more than ten hours. Hours."
"Wait..."
Bai Yuan's expression changed, and he said:
"More than ten hours?!"
"Yes, didn't I say it would start at twelve o'clock?"
"You said... it wouldn't be twelve o'clock in the evening!"
Bai Yuan's expression was strange, and there was a hint of confusion in his eyes.
This time, the old lady was not fooled, and asked back:
"Could it be twelve o'clock in the afternoon?"
"..."
Bai Yuan and the other four fell silent instantly.
Looking at the other party's self-righteous look, he didn't know what to say.
This time, he could be sure that there was definitely something wrong with this village, and they didn't go to the wrong destination...
Whose auspicious time is twelve o'clock at midnight?
"Well, I want to ask, has this custom always existed in our village?"
"Yes."
The old lady nodded.
Bai Yuan continued to ask: "Does the girl from the next village agree?"
The old lady smiled and said indifferently:
"If she wants to marry here, she has to agree even if she doesn't agree!"
"..."
Hearing this, Bai Yuan remained calm and continued:
"By the way, old lady, who is our groom? I don't think I have seen him yet."
"He went to the fields and is not at home now."
As soon as the old lady finished speaking, a villager in the distance called her,
"Well, I'll be busy first..."
"Okay, I won't bother you anymore."
Bai Yuan and the other four looked at the old lady's back as she left, and all fell into thought.
Zhou Han asked first: "Big brothers, what do you think?"
"First of all, it is certain that there must be something wrong with this village!"
Wang Qing looked around and whispered:
"I have never seen anyone holding a wedding at midnight..."
"This village is very likely to have ghosts!"
"That's right."
Bai Yuan nodded in agreement and said:
"But what do you think of the bride in the other village?"
Wang Qing frowned and said: "She seems to be helpless, perhaps controlled by a ghost..."
At this moment, Han Yu on the side said with a thoughtful look:
"Will it be The people in the next village are all ordinary people. Is this to induce fear in the whole village at midnight so that the evil spirits can devour them? "
Zhou Han asked puzzledly: "But will they cooperate so well?"
"In front of the evil spirits, what power can ordinary people have to resist?"
Han Yu shook his head and said: "Maybe it is an illusion, or maybe it is some other means that makes the people in that village have to obey..."
Wang Qing said slowly:
"If this is true, then try to save them."
If they can save ordinary people in a village, they will get a lot of extra rewards when they settle the task.Reward, this is also the new rule issued by the Supernatural Department.
"Don't think about this for now."
Bai Yuan frowned slightly and said: "We don't even know the strength of the evil spirits now, it's too far to talk about protecting people now, it's better to protect ordinary people in supernatural events."
Han Yu and others nodded and agreed with Bai Yuan's idea.
If the evil spirits are too fierce, they will naturally retreat at the first time, and they will have no spare energy to protect others...
Only when they can easily deal with the evil spirits will they consider protecting ordinary people, and this is also to get more rewards...
"At night, everything will have results."
Bai Yuan stretched and said:
"I didn't sleep last night, so I'll take a rest during the day. I guess I can't find out anything."
The four returned to their residence and really began to rest.
They rushed here from Zhongyuan City and didn't rest well along the way. Although it won't have any impact on their bodies, it's always good to be more energetic.
Soon, a day passed by in a flash,
and the sky gradually darkened...
At six o'clock in the evening,
Bai Yuan and others woke up, sat on the steps at the door of the house, and waited silently, without choosing to act casually.
At this time, the villagers were eating dinner, but they were not in a hurry at all.
When the time came to eight o'clock, the sky had completely darkened,
but the lanterns hanging in front of each household emitted a faint light, illuminating the dark mountain village, so that people would not move in the dark.
"Are you here?"
At this moment, Bai Yuan's expression changed.
I saw the villagers leaving their homes one after another, and they seemed to be gathering in one direction.
"Auntie..."
At this time, Bai Yuan saw the peasant woman who asked questions during the day, and asked:
"What are we doing? Isn't the bride coming at twelve o'clock?"
"Don't you know?"
The old lady had a little doubt in her eyes and said:
"In order to celebrate this happy event, the village specially invited people to perform opera, and everyone went to listen to the opera."
