When the book-traveling little detective meets the two-faced prince

Lin Lezhi simply ignored the villagers who were still cursing and chattering at him, and was too lazy to argue with them anymore. After all, it was impossible to reason with them.

A gust of cold wind blew, and Lin Lezhi rubbed the half of his arm that was exposed. Thinking of the rogue words he had just said, he looked at the bride and said in a low voice with embarrassment: "Ms. Mengwan, I was just talking nonsense just now, I lied to them, don't take it seriously, I won't really do anything to you."

Hearing this, the bride shook her head.

This dream is really lively, with water ghosts, sacrifices, and this mysterious bride next to him. I'm afraid I'm really going to run into the river god, who will jump out and angrily say that I stole his wife.

Thinking of this, Lin Lezhi amused himself and laughed out loud, attracting the attention of the bride.

Lin Lezhi quickly stopped laughing, waved his hand and said, "Nothing, I just remembered something funny."

Lin Lezhi bent down, picked up a branch from the ground and handed it to the bride.

"Ms. Mengwan, it's inconvenient for you to see the road with your veil on. If you don't mind, just hold on to this branch."

The bride paused for a moment, then reached out and grasped the other end of the branch.

Lin Lezhi led his new bride towards the depths of the woods that she had just pointed out. Gradually, the voices of the villagers' conversation behind them became fainter and fainter until they could no longer be heard. The only sound he could hear was the rustling of the night wind through the woods and the sounds of himself and his new bride walking.

There was no one to quarrel with, and no need to run away in a hurry. Looking into the depths of the dark forest, my mind naturally began to wander.

Lin Lezhi glanced at the new bride who hadn't spoken a word, and felt a chill on his back.

A ghost knows whether the person standing next to him and leading him all the way is a human or a ghost.

Now that I think about it... this bride is indeed a bit strange. Not only did she not speak a word along the way, she even ran so many miles without even taking a breath.

Even when he was pushed out to die by his fellow villagers, he was so calm and composed, as if the person dying was not himself.

Not only the bride, but also the water ghosts, the memorial service, and the villagers since he arrived here.

Everything here is weird.

On the surface, it was true that he was the one who dragged his bride here, but...it didn't mean that he was not deliberately led here.

At this moment, the red veil was like a magnet, tightly attracting Lin Lezhi's attention. At the same time, the images of female ghosts in all the horror movies he had seen flashed through his mind.

Could it be that...under this red veil...

Lin Lezhi swallowed uncontrollably, his eyes fixed on the red veil.

Seeing the bride slightly tilt her head, Lin Lezhi quickly retracted his gaze and continued walking forward as if nothing had happened.

Although the road was dark and they couldn't see the way forward, they could feel that they were not always walking on a flat road. For a long time, the terrain was going downhill.

Not far away you can faintly hear the sound of huge flowing water.

After walking for a few more minutes, the road ahead suddenly widened and the view became wider.

What comes into view is a temple with exquisite shape and magnificent momentum.

The temple is paved with marble and is built with high-quality wood all around. It also has exquisite carvings. The temple is surrounded by red silk, just like the village.

The red silk here is different from the material used in the village. The one in the village is dyed red cotton cloth, but the one here is real and practical gorgeous red satin.

The whole temple smells like money.

Unexpectedly, the villagers here, who all live in thatched huts, are willing to spend a huge amount of money to build such a beautiful residence for the river god.

Lin Lezhi took his bride and walked a few more steps towards the temple. Only when they got closer could they see the words on the door plaque clearly.

Red Pearl Temple.

Although it was the bedroom where the river god got married and was decorated very luxuriously, there was no joy at all on this happy day. Instead, there was a gloomy atmosphere everywhere.

"beware of the steps."

Lin Lezhi kindly reminded as they passed the stairs.

As a result, the bride let go of the branch, walked past Lin Lezhi, walked straight up the stairs, and pushed open the door of the temple.

Lin Lezhi knew that he had taken advantage of the new bride by stealing the bride and ruined her reputation, so he was naturally so guilty that he dared not say a word.

The door was opened, and fresh air came in. The red dragon and phoenix candles placed on the altar swayed in the airflow.

In the center of the temple, there is a statue, which, judging from its appearance and clothing, is a woman.

But at this moment, Lin Lezhi's eyes were not on the statue, nor did he think about why the river god was a woman. Instead, his eyes fell on the soft and graceful figure kneeling in front of the statue with her back turned. After hearing the door being opened, the woman stood up, turned around and said, "Mr. Xiao, you're back."

When this woman saw Lin Lezhi standing next to her, a moment of vigilance flashed across her eyes. She looked Lin Lezhi up and down, as if confirming something.

She only wore a wooden hairpin on her head, but the light was too dim to see the specific pattern.

Xiao...Mr. Xiao?

who is it?

This was the first time he met this woman, so it was obviously not him. Moreover, the way the woman looked at him just now showed that they did not know each other.

"Ah."

All he heard was a strong masculine voice from the bride next to him, and then she took off the red veil on her head and her red wedding dress. The whole process was smooth and fluid, and Lin Lezhi, who was watching from the side, was stunned.

The bride was dressed in black with an accessory on her waist. She was graceful and elegant. She only glanced at Lin Lezhi and then looked away.

The beauty I had been holding hands with all the way turned out to be a man? !

Lin Lezhi raised his head and sighed deeply.

This dream is too outrageous!

He still had to think of a way to wake up quickly. The back of his head hurt so much in his dream. If he didn't wake up, he was afraid he would really fall off in his sleep.

Since it was just a dream, Lin Lezhi didn’t care about his face anymore.

In front of the man and woman he had just met, Lin Lezhi tried several folk remedies, shaking his head, holding his breath, and finally even slapping himself. His face was slapped red and it hurt so much, but he still couldn't wake up.

Lin Lezhi rubbed his cheeks which were twitching in pain, tears welling up in his eyes.

It seems that I am really dizzy, and I need something more powerful.

Finally, he decided to go all out and rather than suffer a long pain, he prepared to bang his head against the door frame.

Lin Lezhi took a deep breath and prepared himself mentally. Just when he had finally gathered all his strength and was about to hit the car, he was suddenly held by a hand and could not move at all.

The bridegroom naturally didn't understand Lin Lezhi's strange behavior. She frowned and there was a hint of annoyance in her voice.

"Are you crazy?"

Lin Lezhi wanted to shake off the bridegroom, but who would have thought that the bridegroom's grip was so strong, so he had no choice but to curse and say, "Let me go, you are crazy, I want to go home, don't stop me."

The bride's face darkened and she looked extremely unhappy.

"You mean going home, is that looking for death?"

"You are the one seeking death. This is the first time I have seen a grown man dressed up as a bride and rushing to die."

As soon as the words fell, the man's bride's face became even more ugly, and she gritted her teeth and said, "I didn't want to die when a grown man said he wanted to marry me. Why, after knowing that I'm a man, you can't stand it and want to die?"

Where is this?

That's not what he meant.

Besides, it seems like you care more about me saying whether I want to marry you.

But now Lin Lezhi was so eager to die that he didn’t bother to explain himself. He raised his voice and shouted back, “Yes, I just can’t stand the fact that you’re a man. Let me go and don’t block me from dying.”

"Since you are so careless, how about I send you off?"

"That's great. Please be quick when you do it!"

Lin Lezhi agreed happily without any hesitation. Being killed quickly by others was better than dying by hitting his head against a pillar.

The mortality rate from hitting your head against a pillar is not high. It would still be very painful if you don’t die. But the success rate of being killed by someone is as high as 100%!

And the bride seems to be quite good at kung fu.

"you……!"

The bridegroom was so angry at Lin Lezhi's reaction that she was speechless. She simply turned around and stopped talking to Lin Lezhi.

Fearing that the bride would go back on her word, Lin Lezhi raised his neck and leaned forward, urgently saying, "Don't go back on your word. You said you were going to send me away. Hey! Hey!"

Seeing that the bride was unmoved, Lin Lezhi lost his temper, looked at the pillar beside him, shook his head and said, "Forget it, it's better to rely on yourself than to rely on others, I'd better do it myself."

After making sure that the bride-to-be had her back to him and would not try to stop him, Lin Lezhi smiled and once again gathered his strength, accelerating towards the pillar beside him.

I thought it was foolproof, but at the critical moment, the woman suddenly rushed out and stood in front of the pillar alone.

Fearing that innocent people might be hurt, Lin Lezhi quickly stopped the car and asked awkwardly, "Girl, what are you doing?"

"Sir, don't commit suicide. This Mr. Xiao is just helping me." The girl lowered her eyes, and when she raised them again, she seemed to have made a big decision. There was a hint of expectation in her eyes. She looked at Lin Lezhi and said, "I wonder if you are the cunning detective who travels around the world and settles all the injustices in the world, Mr. Jiang Lian'an."
