Republic of China

Chapter 324 Welcoming the bride
It is true that the Qing Dynasty failed to catch up with the express train of the two industrial revolutions, so it was beaten many times by the West, but we have to admit that the two industrial revolutions not only brought more efficient killing weapons to mankind, but also allowed a large number of animals to There are countless technologies for people's livelihood that are on the verge of extinction or even extinct, which have had a huge impact on the previous way of life.

For example, the phonograph and black film are simply black technologies to a certain extent. From the moment they were invented at the end of the 19th century, they are still powerful more than a hundred years later.

Its power is not how elegant the form is, but how faithfully and perfectly it preserves the recording, with basically no loss. Even the digital recordings of later generations are difficult to match. Closing your eyes and listening to the vinyl can immerse you in the environment of the recorder. What a state, even a novice who doesn’t understand black film can feel it.

Even though the sound was intermittent, Zhao Sanyuan and Lu Xiucai could feel how bad the recorder's mental state was at that time after listening to it only once. The full sense of fear was about to overflow the gramophone. They felt that if they looked inside the dusty speaker, maybe You can see a trembling middle-aged man, because the voice is so real, as if there is a real person sweating in front of you telling a scary story.

Even though the sound on the vinyl was quite fragmented, the two brothers still looked at each other and knew that this must be a key clue.

At this time, the sound of crackling firecrackers came from outside Yan's house, and it seemed that the wedding team was about to set off.

"If you have something to say on the way, no matter what happens with this gramophone, put it back first."

"Makes sense."

Both of them are young people with active minds, and it is normal to take one step and see the next.

It was obvious that someone intentionally hid the gramophone in this warehouse of papers. It was not difficult to hear in his words that the person who discovered the gramophone was alert and there were too many possibilities worth exploring.

Generally speaking, for marriages in rural villages, it is normal to get a donkey or an old horse. The poor ones just use a cart to pull the bride. It is very down-to-earth. Basically, it depends on the size of the butt and the size of the pants. If you have money, you can be pompous. , even if you don’t have money, you don’t want to make yourself look fat, so the Yan family can produce a serious sedan chair for weddings, which is really impressive, and there can be seven or eight people who play, play, and sing.

However, there are too many unknowns, and it is impossible to figure it out in a short period of time. Besides, who knows whether this is a bait to invite you into the pot? Don't keep Lao Kang and the others waiting impatiently.

What the hell happened to this village! ?

Then he looked at Zhao Sanyuan, who was holding a cigarette in his mouth and thinking deeply, and said softly: "As for the connection, I should know which Zhou family it is."

Is it inextricably related to the Yan family?
Having said that, the villagers still can't explain the Baisha clone that appeared in Yan's house last night and the strange things about the night festival. Coupled with the clues given by the black film, the whole incident is even more confusing.

The scholar approached and nodded. Taking advantage of the sound of firecrackers all around him, he briefly talked about the gramophone and vinyl records.

"This is the place where we are going to have a wedding banquet. The in-laws of the Yan family are said to have had a high-ranking official in their ancestors and are from a solid scholarly family."

Brothers who have been playing together since childhood will be the first to notice whether their moods are ups and downs.

After hiding the gramophone and the vinyl, the two calmly walked to the gate of the Yan family. Although it was not a red flag waving and a huge crowd, it was a roar of gongs and drums and firecrackers. It was impossible to organize such a large wedding team at the village level. It deserves the word grand.

"Who? Which Zhou family?" Xiucai asked urgently.

Lao Kang pointed to the front of the wedding team and said, "I went to chat with Yan Song's parents. I saw that the two old couples were taciturn and didn't like to talk much, but the master was very talkative, so I didn't stop him. "

Zhao Sanyuan's eyes froze when he heard this.

"Hongbai, of course what he said was that Hongbai was hit by a car, but it was intermittently, and others couldn't understand it. How could he survive? Who survived death? Where did death come from? What went wrong? It wasn't Yan. Is this Yan Song's Yan or something else? Who is the Zhou family? And the last escape. Sanyuan and I can't get in touch, by the way, what did the old man do? "

"Did something happen?" Lao Kang, who helped light the firecrackers, could tell at a glance that something was wrong with Sanyuan. Even though he and the scholar remained calm on their faces, they still couldn't escape Lao Kang's eyes.

But no matter what, since the Zhou family is mentioned in the vinyl, it must be an extremely important clue, and it may even be the key to breaking the situation.

As the old saying goes, people from the same family stick together. Zhao Sanyuan knew with his toes that the Zhou family's influence was probably no less than that of the Yan family.

A white evil spirit appeared in the Yan family. If a red evil spirit appeared in the Zhou family, it would be really touching. By the way, let Lao Xian'er take a trip first to see what he can find out in the Zhou family.

It doesn't matter if you don't ask me. No matter how I summoned Old Xian'er, there was no response, and Zhu Xiang couldn't do it either. Then I remembered that the summons last night didn't work. I waited for a long time and it didn't arrive. At that time, I just thought there was an unexpected delay, but there can't be any delay. Didn't you solve it overnight?

There was no other way, so Zhao Sanyuan went to see Lao Liu and asked him how he was doing there.

"What? Your old fairy didn't respond either? I was still thinking of asking you some time. It's over, it's over, our two old fairies can't be found. Something must have happened!"

"Don't get excited. Maybe you got lost. As a disciple, please don't get into trouble."

Old Liu was rarely panicked. Zhao Sanyuan suppressed the worries in his heart and comforted him. However, he was also unsure in his heart. His old fairy never failed to respond for a long time. Where did they and Old Liu's big raccoon fairy go?

The sky is gray and overcast, just like the mood at this moment.

bang-

Suddenly, a brother who was carrying the sedan stepped on the ground. On the surface, it looked like a small puddle, but in fact, it was really deep underneath, and he sprained his foot.

His stumble started a chain reaction. The sedan tilted and people turned over, knocking down many people, and Joy was also stunned.

This kind of thing is not a good sign anywhere. Many people will think that the bride is in a state of panic before she has passed the wedding, but what happens after she has passed the wedding? At worst, regretting the marriage, at worst not giving good looks to the bride’s family. Whenever there is any unsatisfactory situation in the future, the reason will be attributed to this aspect. Therefore, whether it is for the sake of face or dignity, the wedding team must be restored as soon as possible. Judging from the situation, there are obviously several people It’s hard to persevere when you’re injured.

Just when Yan Song and his family were in trouble with the red flowers, Lao Kang and Xiucai helped lift the sedan chair, and Zhao Sanyuan and Lao Liu played the suona instead of the injured musician.

No one expected that these outsiders would take advantage of the Yan family.

After Yan Song cast a grateful look, his gratitude was beyond words, and he signaled the team to continue circling the village as planned and not to waste time.

Originally, the brothers just tacitly agreed to be kind to others without any intention, but they didn't know that this move would have a decisive impact on the subsequent development.

After walking around Nanyue Village for several times and finally arriving at the Zhou family's old house, there was another loud roar of gongs and drums and firecrackers were blasting. One by one, the villagers all came to congratulate and drink wine. The old man in costume standing at the gate kept returning the greetings. It was Zhou Shijing, the head of the Zhou family.

Everything looks fine on the surface.

but.

Zhao Sanyuan just couldn't feel any joy.

It was as if all he saw were puppets covered in human skin, making anthropomorphic movements and expressions, but unable to imitate real emotions at all.

Could it be that I have been too nervous these past two days?

maybe.
When the wedding team entered the Zhou family, Mo Wenshan, who was chatting with the old man of the Yan family, had slight fluctuations in his eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.

When the guys at the back came in, they were all excited.

"Is this a red thing or a white thing? I'm so angry!"
