Chapter 235: Collecting Bones
The night sky was as dark as ink, with no stars or moon, and only the occasional cry of an owl broke the silence. However, in this deep and mysterious night, a thin white light struggled out from the gloomy sky, like the last struggle of the setting sun swallowed by the darkness. This bleak white light was looming, wandering in the dark night sky like a ghost.
Deep in the corridor that was barely illuminated by white light, an ancient gate stood alone in front of the people. Its extended outer wall was mottled in the moonlight, and the traces of time carved countless deep cracks on it. The gate was closed, and the lintel was covered with thick dust. It seemed that no one had used it for a long time. Next to the gate, a candle flickered in the wind and floated in the air.
As the night wind whistled, the iron ring on the door made a low sound, "clang clang clang" as if telling the desolation of the day. Suddenly, the iron ring on the door trembled slightly, and then, accompanied by a harsh knocking sound, an old voice sounded "Come in".
The door slowly opened, and the sound echoed in the quiet night sky, like opening a door to an unknown world.
The faint light coming through the crack in the door contrasted sharply with the surrounding darkness, as if it was the only ray of hope in the darkness. But the light was too weak to illuminate the secret behind the door. The air was filled with a musty and stale smell, which made people feel fear and curiosity about the interior of this gloomy house.
"Tsk tsk~ Even though this is my second time, but still..."
Wen Baixu couldn't help but fold his arms and look around.
"Please come in, two distinguished guests. The master and his wife are waiting in the room."
He made a gesture to invite people into the house and stood outside the house.
The two looked at each other and walked in slowly without delay.
The room was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. The wind blew through the window curtains, which let in a ray of moonlight that shone on the ground, making the place even more eerie.
The sound of the cane hitting the floor was the second sound coming from the house after the sound of the wind. The person in front of him looked more like a wax doll under the flickering candlelight.
"Do you think these two people are fake?"
The people following Min Nanfeng couldn't help but ask the system in their minds
[Host, if you throw out answers randomly, Mianmian will lose points.]
"Please don't act cute, this is not for you"
Wen Baixu couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Although he didn't want to get this answer from the system, unfortunately his answer was overturned again. These two were actually real people. It was really disgusting.
"Please take a seat, Nian Nu will serve tea to the guests."
In the quiet night, the sudden sound was like a monster suddenly appearing in a haunted house, which frightened Wen Baixu.
"Yes, father"
A charming voice sounded in the darkness, followed by a crisp sound, and a blurry figure came out of the darkness. She was holding a big red tray in her hand, and on the tray there were two steaming cups of tea.
"Could this old guy just come to us?"
Wen Baixu subconsciously said what was in his heart, and the next second a smiling face appeared in front of the two of them, and the person who came was the charming face that appeared outside their door.
"I am extremely happy that the two distinguished guests have come this time. It was very rude of me to go there rashly before. When my father found out, he scolded me severely. So this time, I am here to apologize to the distinguished guests."
After saying this, the hand that was held high also lowered as the body lowered, and the expression on her face changed from full of smiles at the beginning to extremely apologetic now.
Wen Baixu was about to take action when he heard a voice from the side.
"Miss, don't blame yourself. You and I are meant to be married, and I will soon marry into your family, so I must treat you well. It's not your fault. If you do this, I will die to atone for it."
After saying this, his originally calm expression immediately changed into an expression of grief and indignation.
Wen Baixu looked at him with eyes that widened and then turned into disbelief. Where did the person who had always been as cold as water go? Was he possessed by another spirit or was he like himself?
Seeing his attitude change like a chameleon, Wen Baixu didn't know what to do for a moment.
"What are you talking about, sir? Just don't look down on Nian Nu..."
The woman placed what she was holding on the table and slowly took two steps towards the person in front of her...
"Ahem... Niannu is back. Sir, my daughter may have some bad looks on her, but have you really seen her clearly..."
The old voice kept ringing in the silent space of the house, but it made Wen Baixu and Min Nanfeng look up at the old man in front of them who looked like a wax sculpture.
The two of them looked at each other, and Min Nanfeng lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said, "I don't understand what the master means, but I think that the young lady is beautiful and is not worthy of a disabled person like me. I am really marrying up."
After saying this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and looked up at the woman beside him.
At this moment, the three people in the room did not say much after hearing what Min Nanfeng said, but the struggle at that moment, unfortunately, did not escape Wen Baixu's little eyes.
"In that case, I... ahem..."
The person on the high seat coughed again, but he didn't show any sign of coughing the first time, as if he was delaying something...
"Please allow me and the young lady to marry, Master and Madam. I will definitely treat the young lady well."
These words moved everyone present, especially the woman standing nearby.
His voice was loud and steady, and every word was sonorous and powerful, making people feel his fearless determination. Even though his voice was a little hoarse, it did not reduce his sincerity, but rather highlighted his respect for the other party's parents and his persistent pursuit of a better life in the future. This young man tried his best to express his sincerity. His voice was the sonata in his heart and the footnote of his deep affection. With every breath, he trembled a little, and used his choked voice to tell his lover's parents about his sincerity and selflessness.
"Father, mother, your teachings have never been forgotten by your daughter. Although the lottery is for a son-in-law, but seeing that Minlang loves you so deeply, please help your daughter and Minlang get married and let us get married the day after tomorrow."
After saying that, he knocked his head heavily on the ground, as if he had made a serious decision.
The air became quiet again. After a moment, an old voice sounded again.
"Alas~ My son has grown up and cannot be kept. If you want this, as a father... No... No... I don't agree..."
An old female voice sounded at the side, revealing a sense of struggle, as if... not a single person...
