Chapter 7 Wedding

Zhao Zimai widened his eyes, "What should I do if it is burnt?"

Mu Xiaowu answered very seriously, "The outside is burnt and tender on the inside, it's delicious."

A string of water droplets suddenly got thrown on his face, and Zhao Zimai smiled sly at her, "Xiao Wu is reluctant to eat me."

This guy was smart, so Mu Xiaowu raised his hand and was about to fight back, but at this moment, a vague mutter came from behind, "What the hell is this?"

Not far away, the two of them supported each other and walked towards them. Seeing that they were Baotian and Mu Clee. Mu Cleee limped and muttered, "I don't know what it is. When I hit her, I almost broke my old bones."

Baotian: "Old man, if we don't have that thing to block it, we might be rolled to the bottom of the sea to feed fish and shrimps."

Mu Xiaowu pinched his sore shoulders, and it turned out that the black shadow that had just hit her was the two of them... She shook her head impatiently, but suddenly a feeling of discomfort suddenly surged into her heart. She couldn't explain clearly, and she felt that the joy of dying from the disaster had been washed away by it.

"Xiaowu, what is this place? Where have the sailors gone?" Zhao Zimai grabbed her hand and shook it a few times.

"Zhenla," Mu Xiaowu looked at the dense forest behind, where ancient banyan trees stood tall and straight, with their roots falling from the branches, like a centenarian stroking their long beards, "It is Zhenla."

She repeated again, she returned to her territory, but why did the panic in her heart pile up layer by layer, and with a slight movement, it would overflow from her heart.

Mu Xiaowu could barely calm down and looked around: On the empty beach, there were only four of them. None of the sailors could escape from the storm just now and became sacrifices to the sea forever. She sighed, and was about to raise a bonfire and dry the soaked clothes of several people, but her ears suddenly moved, and her eyes looked at the dense banyan forest behind her again.

"Xiaowu also heard it?" Zhao Zimai also looked in the same direction. "Someone is playing music, but the person playing it seems that he can't lift his energy."

Someone was playing music, and it was playing a "chapel song". However, Zhao Zimai was right. A song that should have been full of festiveness was played dull and weak, and it was broken from time to time, as if it was about to die. On such a happy day, it could be called a "bad luck."

"Someone is doing weddings, but it seems that this is not a place where birds don't poop. Why don't we join in the fun and ask for a drink? It's better than staying here, we're wet and cold." Mu Xiaowu decisively threw down the branches he had just picked up, waved his hand back, signaling the other three to follow, and then walked towards the banyan forest without looking back.

"You say you want to ask for wine, aren't you afraid that others will drive us out as beggars?" Mu Crooker looked reluctant, and was afraid that his hope would be lost, so he followed behind and asked.

Mu Xiaowu smiled, "The people are so simple and treat guests like guests, not to mention that this is a wedding. Driving guests is regarded as an act of rudeness, and no owner will do this."

She said it was right. The family saw four wet dogs falling into the water. Not only did they not dislike them, they also invited them into the house. After entertaining the shower and changing clothes, they even invited several people to the banquet.

But the banquet was a little too deserted. Apart from the bride's parents, there were only four people who had finished washing. They sat around the table and stared at the delicious food on the table.

"Is this the custom of Zhenla? Why can't the groom's parents be seen by others?" Mu Clep's chopsticks had already reached over a plate of dishes. Seeing that the old couple had a sad face and had no intention of moving the chopsticks, he hurriedly took his hand back and said to Mu Xiaowu quietly.

Mu Xiaowu glanced at him, "This is not the groom's house, it is the bride's house. In Zhenla, a man usually 'marries' to the woman's house, and all the wedding ceremonies are also held at the woman's house." Speaking of this, she smashed her mouth, "But since it's a wedding, it's all about the guests. At least, the groom and the bride must not be missing."

As she said that, she picked up a piece of fish and put it into her mouth without any worries. After chewing it carefully, she put down her chopsticks and said to the sad old couple with a smile, "Why didn't you see the bride, groom and other relatives and friends?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a sound of piano suddenly sounded behind him. The few of them were shocked. When they looked back together, they saw a young man sitting alone in the corner, holding a wooden harp in his hand.

It turned out that the "Chorus Song" that led them to him was played by him. His people were as weak as the piano sound, and they were curled up in a corner of the room with a hunched back. They were obviously in their early twenties, but they looked like an old man buried in the loess half of their body.

Seeing that all four of them looked back at them, the young man slowly put down the harp in his hand and barely smiled weakly on his face, "I'll make you laugh. I'm An Shi, the eldest son of this family. Today I got married is my second sister Suti. She is in the new house. As for my eldest sister Liang Xi, she is resting upstairs because of her unwell."

Mu Xiaowu said "Oh" and Fang Xiang asked something else. Suddenly, he heard the clear saliva sound of Zhao Zimai beside him swallowing, so he patted his shoulder and said softly, "Eat it, really lambs are not that particular, the master will follow the guests. If you are hungry, just eat it."

Hearing her say this, several people immediately put down their reserve, picked up their chopsticks and began to feast. Mu Xiaowu grabbed a piece of cake, walked to Anshi while eating, sat down on the ground, looked at his long and long horse face with a long frown and bite the dough cake, and then said, "From now on, there is another bit of people in the family, what's wrong with it?"

An Shi was still playing the harp, and before he even raised his eyelids, he replied, "Who is the one who needs to see more?"

Mu Xiaowu raised his eyebrows and said, "Why did he agree to let someone enter the door when he was not satisfied?"

An Shi's muscles trembled a few times, "If it weren't for being forced to do so, who would have wanted to marry his sister to a monster?"

As soon as he said this, the three people who were already greedy at the table put down the chopsticks in their hands and turned to look at An Shi. The old couple of An's family seemed to have finally come back to life, covering their chests and crying. The intermittent whimper echoed in the room, which made people feel anxious.

Mu Xiaowu rubbed his hands and was really excited: he had just arrived at Zhenla and was about to regain his old skills.

"What monster?" Her eyes were filled with excitement.

Anshi swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, "Peacock, a peacock that specializes in pecking people's eyes."
