Chapter 43 The Beautiful Xiangxi (43)



Early morning, Qiebi Village.

Shi Tao clutched a red handkerchief, and the smile on his heavily made-up face was a little stiff. Men are used to sitting with their legs spread apart, but after being glanced at by others for a few times, Shi Tao realized that it was really indecent to sit with his legs spread out in his current capacity, so he squeezed his legs together in frustration.

"I'm sorry to trouble you about Pingping's marriage."

An old and weak voice came from the room blocked by bamboo curtains, mixed with a few coughs, like thick phlegm stuck in the throat, and the sound of breathing was very heavy, as if he would lose his breath in the next moment. Shi Tao noticed that all the windows in the room were closed and there was no light at all. The room seemed to be smoked by herbs, so strong that it made people breathless.

"Village chief, don't worry."

The capable woman in the lead smiled and said, "We have watched Pingping grow up as well, so she will definitely take care of things beautifully."

"Cough cough...that's good, that's good cough cough cough..."

There was another series of heartbreaking coughs, and I was out of breath. It sounded like the patient inside was about to cough to death. But Shi Tao watched with cold eyes and found that none of the women in the room looked worried or nervous at all, and no one was in a hurry. Only the leading woman asked a few questions about the main points of the ceremony, and also asked about the situation of the village chief inside.

But apart from coughing, the village chief kept repeating a few words, asking them to pay more attention to Pingping.

After leaving this house that was overly smoked by herbs, Shi Tao took a deep breath of fresh air and felt like he had become bacon. The women dispersed in twos and threes after leaving the house. Shi Tao deliberately slowed down his pace, and sure enough, someone came from behind after a while.

"Shi A'duo, I still want to talk to you about Pingping's marriage."

The person who caught up with Shi Tao was the capable woman who had just taken the lead. Shi Tao glanced at her wrist and saw a small spotted snake coiled there like a bracelet, which could not be seen clearly even without looking carefully.

"good."

The two returned to the house. This house was specially designed for people like them who had been invited by the village chief to live in. There were three buildings in total, arranged in a triangle shape. I wonder if it was a coincidence that the stilted building where Pingping was located happened to be surrounded. in the middle.

"I saw Pingping going out today."

After entering the house, the capable woman said, quite worriedly: "I see, she still can't let go of Cheng."

"That's what happened."

Shi Tao echoed: "If you ask me, everyone in the village knows that Pingping and Acheng are childhood sweethearts, which is a pity."

Shi Tao and Miao Fangfei were exchanging information. After they started the third attraction, they woke up in their respective houses. Miao Fangfei looked at her own clothes and then looked at the rather unfamiliar face in the bronze mirror, and knew that this crying wedding was probably a recreation of an old scene, a scene acting or something like that.

Crying to marry is a tradition for many ethnic minority brides before they get married. In addition to the bride, the participants are the bride's female relatives. Miao Fangfei plays the role of Pingping's 'aunt'. Of course, the village chief's family has only one single seedling left, Ping Ping. The so-called 'sister-in-law', 'aunt', 'aunt' and the like are mostly replaced by women from the village.

They had stayed in this room since they woke up, four to a room. Miao Fangfei quickly recognized Shi Tao. The two were on the line, but there were still two "Qiebi Villagers" in the room. It was not easy to communicate in front of them, so they dispersed to collect information for the time being.

"Sister-in-law Zhao, Sister-in-law Hou and Sister-in-law Wang live in the north house, and Grandma Lin, Grandma Xu and Grandma Yu live in the southwest house."

Shi Tao said, he and Miao Fangfei were in the southeast. Different titles represent the different identities of the roles they play.

Ping Ping's "sister-in-law" and "aunt", he, Miao Fangfei and the woman in the room played the role of Ping Ping's "mother".

It can be seen that the village chief cares about his only daughter. There is no female elder in the family to preside over the wedding, so he invited the women in the village to get Pingping married grandly.

"Poor, I can't go out to get some air."

Miao Fangfei said with a deep tone: "Looking at Pingping being unhappy every day, she doesn't look like a newlywed, but more like she is in jail."

"Why did Sister Miao say that?"

A dissatisfied voice sounded from the door. It was the woman from Qiebi Village named Asang who had returned. She had high cheekbones, a thin chin, a mean face, and a sharp voice: "Pingping's marriage is a great event for our village. Why?" She looks dejected. Pingping is young and doesn’t know the rules. Doesn’t Sister Miao also know the rules?”

"Yes, we were selected and entrusted with important responsibilities by the village chief. We cannot miss Pingping's happy event."

The short and thin woman next to Asang looked at Miao Fangfei and Shi Tao with suspicious eyes, as if they were going to tell the village chief if they showed the slightest reluctance to come.

"Sister-in-law Asang, Sister-in-law Awen misunderstood. Of course we are in full support of this happy event. But today we saw Acheng, he..."

Miao Fangfei stepped forward lightly and cleared up the two people's suspicions with a few words, and it seemed that they even got closer to each other. Shi Tao didn't understand the idea of ​​women gossiping to enhance feelings, so he kept his mouth shut and acted like a wallflower so as not to cause trouble to Miao Fangfei.

After Ah Sang and Awen both went back to the house to sleep, Shi Tao listened carefully and confirmed that Ah Sang was asleep because of the snoring. Then he went back to the house to talk to Miao Fangfei.

"The people from Qiebi Village in each room are the ones supervising us."

Shi Tao whispered, and Miao Fangfei nodded, her voice very soft: "We, the people in these three houses, are monitoring Pingping."

There was only one window in the room, facing Pingping's house. While going to the village chief's house for a meeting today, Miao Fangfei walked around, got on the line with Zhao Hongtu and the others, and confirmed that all three houses had a window facing Pingping's house.

Zhao Hongtu and the others only had one person from Qiebi Village in their room. Fortunately, they found a loophole, but there were two people, Asang and Awen, in their room. If they wanted to say anything, they had to take advantage of their sleep.

"It's early in the morning, and I'm crying for the first time today."

Shi Tao's voice was very soft, and there was only one oil lamp lit in the room. The dim light reflected on his face could not hide his worry.

"Captain Miao, is there any way?"

“There are too few introductions to the Crying Marriage Project.”

Miao Fangfei's tone was solemn: "We are just allowed to experience the traditional crying wedding. The journey ends at noon on the sixth day."

At 8 o'clock in the evening on the fourth day, there was a cocktail party for three dynasties, and then came the wedding ceremony. When they woke up in Qiebi Village, it was already 10:30 in the middle of the night. At 11 o'clock, they were summoned by the village chief for a meeting. It's half past twelve in the morning.

It’s the fifth day.

The beautiful Xiangxi is a six-day and five-night trip, and the journey will end at noon on the sixth day. In other words, as long as they can survive for a day and a half, they have passed the journey.

The end of the journey was so close, but Miao Fangfei and Shi Tao didn't have any relaxed expressions on their faces. The information was too little and too vague, and they didn't have Pingping's diary that Wei Xun had obtained. Now they could only rely on the facts of Pingping's life. There is information to speculate.

"Pingping is getting married, but she's not marrying her sweetheart, Acheng."

Shi Tao said: "Everyone in Qiebi Village attaches great importance to this wedding. The enthusiasm is a bit too much. Even if Pingping is the village chief's daughter, she shouldn't be so enthusiastic."

"The one who is seriously ill is the village chief, Pingping's father."

Miao Fangfei sorted out: "He is extremely ill and needs special fetal meat treatment."

During the third bath, the ghost baby's favorable impression of Miao Fangfei reached full value, so Miao Fangfei received an additional reward of memory fragments and saw a bit of Pingping's past: "Pingping gave birth hiding in a cave. She knew that the villagers wanted to Her child is evil.”

"The village chief desperately wants Pingping to get married, is it to make her pregnant with a special fetus?"

Shi Tao followed Miao Fangfei's words and speculated: "As for this project, are we going to ruin the wedding?"

There are three scenes of crying marriage, namely at noon on the fifth day, early morning on the sixth day, and noon on the sixth day. When the three crying weddings are over, Pingping will get married. They can only enter Pingping's house and get in touch with Pingping when they cry for marriage. If you want to ruin the wedding, you must make preparations in advance.

"No."

Miao Fangfei shook her head and said slowly: "Our ultimate goal is to survive until noon on the sixth day."

Whether it is to promote the wedding or to destroy the wedding, their task is actually to survive until noon on the sixth day and the journey ends. This is success.

"To destroy the wedding, our enemies are everyone in Qiebi Village and the village chief."

In the west room, while the third person was sleeping, Xu Chen said to Lin Xi, while he was analyzing and sorting out his thoughts:

"Before we entered the third attraction, we watched Pingping cry and cut the head of a paper-cutting person. This also shows that the dangerous point of this project is when she is crying to get married."

"If we follow the course of history, the danger point is Pingping, but the people and village chief of Qiebi Village will be our natural allies."

Xu Chen analyzed, his tone was so calm that it was almost cold: "Whether we ruin the wedding or do it again, our ultimate goal is to survive until noon on the sixth day. Which way to choose depends on which one is more beneficial to us."

"Judging from the first two projects, Pingping should have finally gotten married and even got pregnant with a child. Her revenge on the villagers started when the child was boiled into soup and ended when everyone in Xiaolong Yizhuang was destroyed."

"That is to say, at this period in history when it came to getting married, Pingping's strength was weaker than that of Qiebi Village. The strength of Qiebi Village and the village chief's side was stronger, so the wedding would go ahead."

“However, although our project this time is a historical re-enactment, it is not entirely a historical re-enactment.”

Xu Chen made a twist: "I speculate that what everyone is going to encounter this time is not the weak and bully Pingping in the past, but the fierce ghost Pingping."

Before entering the project, Pingping in a bloody wedding dress was the biggest reminder.

"So that's it!"

Yu He'an listened very seriously. Seeing Xu Chen pause, he asked, "Then what should we do?"

"In other words, if we choose to protect the wedding, our teammates will be Qiebi Village and the enemy will be Li Gui Pingping. The danger will come when we cry to get married, and maybe when we get married."

Xu Chen continued: "We chose to destroy the wedding. Our teammate is Li Gui Pingping, and the enemy is Qiebi Village. Danger is always everywhere, and I doubt that Li Gui Pingping will not easily help us. This friendly force is almost non-existent. ”

If Li Gui Pingping can take action, the tourists will win. The third attraction will never be so simple. Xu Chen had two guesses. If he thought about the worst, they were now acting as "Qiebi Villagers" and they were also the targets of Pingping's revenge. Maybe no matter whether she chooses to destroy the wedding or protect it, Pingping will take action against them without any reason.

Even if you think about it for the best, Pingping may not kill them after they express their intention to ruin the wedding, but she won't help them either. They need to face an entire Qiebi Village's enemies alone.

"Brother Xu is right."

Yu Hean then frowned and muttered: "In other words, it is more difficult to ruin the wedding."

"right."

Xu Chen sighed, it was indeed the third most beautiful scenic spot in Western Hunan. It is no longer a simple pass or combat adventure, but a silent test of human nature.

The travelers who passed the second scenic spot all knew that Pingping and Qiebi Village were in a bad situation. But at the third scenic spot, it was easier to choose Qiebi Village and maintain the wedding.

For the travelers, as long as they survived until noon on the sixth day, they would be considered successful. Just the different choices of maintaining the wedding or destroying the wedding would cause conflicts and disputes in the team.

Some people wanted stability, while others wanted to take risks and seek higher rewards. Some people were indifferent and indifferent to the joys and sorrows of the characters in the journey, while others had a conscience and sympathized with Pingping, hoping that she could have a different ending.

If there were absolutely strong people and a unified voice in the team, this problem would not be a problem. But first, they were separated and could not communicate. Second, time was tight. There were three crying weddings in a day and a half, and the team members did not go together, but went separately.

In this way, once there was a disagreement in the choice, they would probably drag each other down.

Thinking of this, Xu Chen sighed and looked at the teammates who were assigned to the same side as him. Yu Hean's eyes were always trusting and sincere. He trusted Xu Chen's analysis wholeheartedly and looked like he was following him. Lin Xi was a little distracted from the beginning to the end. Seeing Lin Xi's uneasy look, Xu Chen could imagine what he was thinking.

"Where is Director Bing?"

Ah, look, what else would Lin Xi think about besides Bingjiu?

"Yeah, I'm really panicking when I can't see Director Bing."

Yu Hean also echoed, worried. Yu Hean couldn't put his mind at ease without seeing Director Bing and knowing his brother's situation. More importantly, he was not assigned to the same group as Wang Pengpai. He didn't know whether Wang Pengpai would go to Director Bing again. Yu Hean was almost worried.

Xu Chen was very helpless after hearing what they said. With these two teammates, what else could he expect? He could only rely on himself to guess the choices of Miao Fangfei's group and Zhao Hongtu's group.

Let Xu Chen see, it doesn't matter what Pingping is like, as long as he can pass the journey safely. But looking at the three crying weddings, that is to say, each of the three groups has an opportunity to influence Pingping, and I am afraid that the final result will depend on the comprehensive results. I am afraid that some people support maintaining the wedding, and some people support destroying the wedding, and they will start internal friction first.

However, Miao Fangfei and Zhao Hongtu are easy to guess. They are the kind of people who still have a conscience in their hearts. They are very likely to choose to destroy the wedding and give Pingping happiness.

There are many ways to destroy the wedding.

Xu Chen pondered and thought, the most extreme one is to kill all the people in Qiebi Village, and the wedding will naturally not be held, but this is almost impossible to do, and the method is too rough.

Substitute Pingping at this time, what does she want.

She will reject her lover and choose to get married, that is to say, the village chief or Qiebi Village is very important in her heart at this moment. Killing all the people in Qiebi Village may not make Pingping happy.

Eloping or robbing the wedding can also destroy the wedding.

Xu Chen thought of the free time when he went to the village chief’s house for the gathering today. When exchanging information with Miao Fangfei and others, Miao Fangfei mentioned that she saw Pingping and Acheng having a tryst by the grove.

Would it be a good idea to encourage Pingping to elope? Would this be the happiness she was looking for?

"Elopement is not happy either."

Wang Pengpai shook his head and looked at the couple who were having a tryst at the village head. The man was handsome, the woman was bright and beautiful, and they stood together under the moonlight, they were really a perfect couple.

If Wang Pengpai hadn't just seen the man having a tryst with Pingping, and after Pingping left, another woman came to find him, he would have really thought that the man's deep love for Pingping was true.

What a scumbag.

Wang Pengpai secretly despised her, and after noting the woman's appearance, he left early when the man looked up and seemed to be looking at him.

Wang Pengpai already had an idea of ​​how to complete the crying wedding project this time. Unlike Xu Chen, who was still thinking in the two situations of "supporting the wedding" and "destroying the wedding", and whose ultimate goal was just to survive until noon on the sixth day.

Individual travelers are limited by the lack of teamwork, and most of them can only fight alone, usually they can only take care of themselves and cannot find the final solution to the project. But in fact, the big travel team has already summed up their own set of experience. The most beautiful Xiangxi is a dangerous journey. Even if it is super difficult, the solution to the final project only leads to three endings.
