Chapter 368

The woman seemed to be really regretful, and it didn't seem like she was saying something sarcastic.

He Yuxin lowered her eyebrows, and the smile on her face remained calm.

"Yes, my parents are also very happy."

The woman seemed to be more excited after hearing this, and pulled He Yuxin to say.

"You are such a beautiful girl, your parents are so lucky, you are so delicate and tender, you must be a young lady raised by a wealthy family, your parents are also sincere for you to be the 'marriage mother'."

He Yuxin smiled and acted shy, and didn't answer this question, but grabbed a handful of peanuts, melon seeds, longans and red dates for her.

Seeing her like this, the other women also got excited, and they talked around He Yuxin until He Yuxin had distributed all the things in the bag, and then these women let her go.

And He Yuxin finally understood the general background of this book.

There is a mountain god in this book. The mountain god lives on the sacred mountain behind Jinri Mountain. He Yuxin is now in a wedding procession, which is a bride sent to the mountain god.

He Yuxin learned from these people that the bride is not a living person, but a fierce ghost.

These people avoided saying that the bride is a ghost, only saying that it is a "bride", but it can be heard from their words that they despise, disdain, hate, and even pity the bride.

He Yuxin learned from indirect inquiries that in fact, this wedding procession is not so much a mountain god marrying a wife as a sacrificial ceremony in the name of the mountain god marrying a wife, or it can also be said to be a funeral for a fierce ghost.

These brides are male or female (the bride can also be male). When there are fierce ghosts and even evil gods that cannot be solved in the local area, people can use this method to send the fierce ghost away.

Such a wedding procession will go around the local area and then be sent to Jinri Mountain to offer to the mountain god, who will purify it.

During this period, the "wedding maiden" is there to appease the evil spirits. The composition of the "wedding maiden" is relatively mixed. First, they are selected from people who have causal connections with the evil spirits, and then beautiful women.

These "wedding maidens" are in dangerous situations. If they are not careful, they will lose their lives, but many people are eager to do it.

Not only because being a wedding maiden will get a generous reward, but also because if you can survive during this period, the wedding maiden will be blessed by the mountain god. Not only can she keep her beauty forever, but she can also live to 150 years old without illness or disaster. Her family and the husband she will marry in the future can also be blessed. Not only will she no longer be eroded by evil spirits, but she can also live a long life. If she is sick, she can gradually get better if she stays with the wedding maiden for a longer time.

When the benefits of a thing are greater than the cost, it is a good thing.

Although most of the wedding maidens along the way are only one in ten, but there are many vested interests, so the lives of those wedding maidens who died are not lives.

He Yuxin is such a bridesmaid, which explains why the steward took two golden unicorn ornaments without much reaction.

Because He Yuxin is not a maid who sells herself, she is a "bridesmaid", and these valuables may have been brought from her home.

But even if she figured it out, He Yuxin's mood is still not very good.

If so, this way of sending the bride is not a bad thing.

He Yuxin is not a moral model who thinks everything is black or white. She can accept the gray area.

Although this way of sending the bride is absurd, it is also a helpless choice for ordinary people.

Ordinary people have no chance of winning against those demons and ghosts. In this case, sacrificing some people in exchange for the safety of more people, as long as this evil ghost is not deliberately created, is to raise some "bridesmaids", He Yuxin can accept it.

He Yuxin stared at the closed door for a long time, and what she thought in her mind was not how the wedding team was, but what if Jin Xiaoshu beat the bride to death, what should the wedding team do?

Obviously, if they want to see the golden toad, the most convenient way is to follow the wedding procession, but if the bride is gone, will they still send the bride?

He Yuxin suddenly felt a little worried.

At this time, she did not go to find Xiu Gou, but waited at the closed door, quietly waiting for the final result.

But the waiting time was a bit long. The door was closed and did not open. She did not hear any movement inside. Until the sun set, it was time to eat and sleep, and there was still no movement in the house.

He Yuxin tried to knock on the window, but there was still no response from inside.

After thinking about it, He Yuxin decided to go to bed first, and other things would be understood later.

So she went to bed, and never said to go to see Xiu Gou, and Xiu Gou did not come to her again.

She slept until dawn, and when there was movement outside, He Yuxin got up, washed herself and went out.

When she learned that she was actually a "bride girl" and not a real maid, she seemed calm.

Since she was not a maid, there was no need for her to serve others. She only needed to take care of herself.

It was quite late when He Yuxin went out. When she came out, the group had already eaten.

They had white porridge in the morning. He Yuxin stared at the pot with white smoke for a few seconds and then looked away. She did not plan to eat breakfast.

She had eaten two boiled eggs before getting up and washing up. She was not hungry now. She just wanted to stare at the house.

The steward appeared until everyone in the team had eaten and drunk enough and was ready to go. Then he stared at He Yuxin for a while and coughed lightly.

"Okay, Amber, go and ask the young lady to go out."

He Yuxin lowered her head without resistance. She walked to the door and spoke after thinking for a while.

"Miss, it's time to set off."

As soon as she finished speaking, the door to the room that had been closed all night opened.

He Yuxin saw the bride wearing a wedding dress and a hijab raising her hand and making a gesture of support.

He Yuxin's eyes moved upward, and finally fell on the slender but not white hands with smoothly trimmed nails.

This is Jin Xiaoshu's hand!

After having this idea, she calmly stretched out her hand to catch the other person's. The warmth in her hand made He Yuxin feel relieved a lot. At this time, Jin Xiaoshu also squeezed He Yuxin's hand playfully, which made Jin Xiaoshu couldn't help but think a little. laugh.

He lowered his head and helped the person out as if he was respectful.

The steward didn't notice anything was wrong. When he saw the bride coming out, he turned around and asked someone to bring the sedan in to make it easier for the bride to enter.

After He Yuxin ushered the people into the sedan and the sedan door was completely closed, the steward spoke again.

He looked at He Yuxin a little strangely this time and looked up and down several times before speaking.

"You are very good, very good. I will benefit from you in the future."

He Yuxin smiled back at the steward. The steward didn't say anything more and directly called the people on their way.

The wedding convoy left the village in a mighty manner, and Xi Niang had to walk beside the sedan. Now there was only Xi Niang in the whole team, He Yuxin, so she was closest to the sedan.
