"Don't be afraid, I will definitely take you out of here!"
Regardless of whether Silver Bell can hear it or not, I vow to do it.
Walking along this winding path, I called Lao Jiang and their names as I walked.
My ears almost perked up to pay attention to what was going on around me. After walking for a while, amidst the patter of rain, I seemed to hear the sound of stepping on a branch in front of me.
Are Lao Jiang and the others in front?
I carried Yin Ling'er on my back and quickened my pace, almost jogging to catch up. However, gradually, I realized something was wrong.
There were a lot of footsteps ahead, and there seemed to be a group of people!
No, why is there still the sound of music?
I stopped, not even willing to continue walking on this path. Finally, I gritted my teeth, held back my fear, and hid behind a big rock in the bamboo forest.
The sound of music is getting closer and closer, as if someone is celebrating a happy event, and the suona is playing in a lively manner.
After about a while, the team finally appeared in my sight. It was actually a red wedding team!
The team was walking on the path at the beginning of the pen, from far to near, and was getting closer to me little by little...
But their walking posture is quite weird, like animals raising their forearms and standing up to walk. They walk very slowly and awkwardly.
Gradually, the wedding team came not far from me.
At this time, I didn’t even dare to breathe, or even look at it, because it was actually a group of foxes wearing clothes!
At the front are the old foxes carrying bamboo poles at both ends. Each of the two bamboo poles is tied with a long red firecracker. As he walks, the firecrackers are set off, making a crackling sound.
Following closely behind were two young foxes, playing the suona in a showy and mighty manner, extremely festive.
There were two other people who were in charge of beating the gongs, and they beat the gongs happily, and every stroke seemed to hit my heart.
Boom, boom, boom!
Boom, boom, boom!
What frightened me the most was that there was actually a big red sedan chair in the procession. The tall and majestic fox at the west end was carrying the sedan chair in a weird posture.
Next to him, there was a fox dressed as a matchmaker, twisting his waist and shouting with a smile: "Welcoming the bride!"
What it makes is not a fox cry, but human language.
I could even clearly hear the foxes at the end who were carrying the bride price shouting in a high-pitched voice: "Foxes get married, idlers avoid it!"
Oh my god, fox marriage is a real thing.
My whole brain is about to explode now. I want to run, but I am afraid of attracting their attention.
"The fox is getting married..."
The wedding team was still shouting, and I almost burst into tears. My legs felt weak, and I probably couldn't outrun them even if I ran.
Because these foxes must have become spirits!
I gritted my teeth and continued to hide behind the big rock, not daring to make the slightest sound.
I saw the bright red wedding team getting closer and closer.
In the end, they stopped in front of me one after another!
boom!
That was the sound of the sedan chair landing.
All the foxes turned their heads fifteen degrees to the west, their eyes staring at my hiding place!
At that moment, my whole body was numb.
"The groom hasn't boarded the sedan yet? It will be bad if he misses the auspicious time." The matchmaker fox shook a bright red fan and made a hoarse voice.
Its eyes are crooked, a pair of fox eyes with a strange smile that is not a smile.
I gritted my teeth and continued to pretend to be dead.
"You accepted our hardware, so you can't default on it." The matchmaker continued to bargain with me in her high-pitched voice.
I still dare not say anything.
I even started to think, should I run away? You can't sit still and wait for death.
Just as I was taking action, a demonic wind came out of nowhere. The demonic wind lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, and a slender woman wearing a red wedding dress suddenly came into view.
A corner of the red hijab on her head was lifted, and at that moment my heart stopped beating.
She, she...
This woman, she has no face!
Fear filled my heart like a tide. At that moment, I didn't know where the strength came from and ran away.
I can't think of anything in my mind. I only know that if I don't leave here now, I will be caught alive in a sedan chair.
Then, marry the mountain ghost!
God, are you kidding me?
"You have no regrets about getting engaged. You have already accepted our engagement gift."
"Groom Officer, why are you running?"
"Uncle, please wait for us..."
A group of foxes seemed to have exploded, emitting human voices, shrill and ghostly, which made my heart tremble.
I ran forward desperately with the silver bell on my back, the gongs and drums were beating loudly behind me, and the group of foxes actually beat the gongs and drums to chase me.
I don’t know if it’s because these foxes walked on two legs, but they couldn’t run as fast as me. When they saw me reentering the dense black bamboo forest, they didn’t catch up.
"Brother Jinglan, I'm afraid."
I don't know if it was because of illness or because it was the first time I encountered such a terrifying scene. The silver bell on my back seemed to be frightened and started crying softly.
A woman's tears are the most lethal weapon. Listening to her intermittent crying, my heart broke!
But this distress soon turned into an inexplicable courage, and the fear was instantly replaced by an unusually strong fighting power. I vowed to protect Yin Ling'er.
I comforted her and said, "Don't worry, brother Jinglan is here. Brother Jinglan won't let anyone separate us!"
But Yin Ling'er was still moaning and sobbing: "But if you carry me on your back, it will drag you down. Brother Jinglan, why don't you put me down and go alone."
"What nonsense are you talking about? We will live together and die together!" I carried Yin Ling'er on my back and rushed forward as hard as I could.
The bamboo forest in front was covered with a faint white mist. At this time, I was no longer afraid of the thousand-year fog. I walked towards the fog resolutely for the sake of Silver Bell!
As I ran, I gradually couldn't hear the sound of firecrackers, gongs and drums, nor the terrifying voice of the fox matchmaker.
The wedding team seems to have been thrown far away by me...
I can finally take a breath, but the fog here is a little light, and I can vaguely see the surrounding environment in the fog.
This time I didn't stupidly hide behind the rocks. Instead, I took advantage of the time when the fox didn't catch up and carefully selected a new hiding place.
Although the bamboos here are relatively thick, it is difficult to completely hide me and Yin Ling'er, and the grass is not dense enough.
I searched for a hiding place in the west, and finally found a hole in an overgrown area. The hole was dark and seemed to be a good place to hide and seek.
"Groom, where are you?" A high-pitched voice was drawn out, as if it was scratching my eardrums.
Seeing the sound of gongs and drums coming from not far away, I couldn't afford to delay any longer and ran towards the cave.
