Chapter 58
"You can't go to that place."

Qin Xiaoyu's sudden remark made Han Yujue vigilant.

"What does Sister Qin mean by saying that?" She asked quietly.

"Oh, you don't have to worry." Qin Xiaoyu smiled. "It's nothing. Over there is the mermaid grave. According to legend, if outsiders step into it, they will be cursed by the mermaid."

Han Yujue was a little surprised: "Mermaid Grave? Is there really a mermaid in Beiyin Village?"

"I don't know." Qin Xiaoyu shrugged, "Anyway, this is the legend in this village. Leaving aside the mermaid curse, there are deep mountains and old forests, and there are many cliffs. If you are not careful, you may fall into the sea through the cracks in the ground. You outsiders are not familiar with the terrain, so it's best not to approach it."

"I'll remember."

Han Yu insisted on accepting, but thought in his heart, the talk has already reached this point, if he doesn't find an opportunity to explore, how can he be worthy of his curiosity!
The day was spent in full swing, and Beiyin Village ushered in the night when the lights came on.

It can't be called a wide road, but it is full of people, and every family comes out to celebrate.

"Girl! Buy a piece of strawberry pie! Special product of Qianwa Island!"

The vendor warmly greeted Han Yujue and Murong Che.

Different from Xijing Night Market, this place also has a rural and field style.

"It's so sweet... Ah, what a pity."

There were too many people on the road, and it was inevitable to bump into each other. The crowd squeezed the strawberry pie out of Han Yujue's hand.

"Be careful."

Murong Che stretched out his hand and tightly hugged Han Yujue's slender waist, protecting her from being touched by others, as if she was a fragile glass figurine.

Suddenly, the crowd burst into cheers.

The time has come, and countless Kongming lanterns are slowly rising above Beiyin Village, dyeing the night sky bright!
The waves are like songs, the lights are brilliant, and silver flowers are clustered with thousands of torches.

Under the dots of stars, the sky full of candles floats to the other side of the sea with people's good wishes.

"so beautiful……"

Han Yujue looked up, feeling sincerely.

The light from the sky lantern made her little face blush.

"You also helped to make Kongming lanterns? What kind of wish did you make? Did you conquer the demon world, dominate the mainland, and last forever~"

The bright lights and the stars in the sky seemed to be reflected in Han Yujue's eyes.

Murong Che lowered his head, as if staring at the most precious treasure in the world.

"May this moment last forever."

He leaned over and gently kissed Han Yujue.

There will be no wars and troubles, no power struggles, and I hope that she will always be by my side in the world.

Among the surging crowd, it seemed that only their time was frozen at that moment.

"The mermaid dance has begun!"

With a greeting, the crowd began to rush to the other side again.

"Let's go take a look too."

Murong Che smiled and took Han Yujue's hand.

Ahead, a few strong young men walked forward carrying a flower stand while shouting. On it was a girl dressed as a mermaid, lightly veiled, dancing gracefully.

A few young people around Han Yujue were gearing up, looking eager to try.

She wondered: "Why, do you want to go up and dance too?"

Those young people laughed: "Guest, you don't know. The mermaid dance chooses the most beautiful girl in the village every year to play the role of the mermaid empress. The youngest daughter of the village head's family, Mu Qiaoxuan, has been a mermaid for two years. Empress, this year is still her!"

"Is it."

No wonder Mu Qiaoxuan hurried out of the house after dinner today, presumably to prepare for the mermaid dance.

The young man continued: "The Mermaid Dance is still a wedding ceremony. Have you seen the flower ball in the hands of the Mermaid Empress? She may throw a flower ball later, and whoever gets the flower ball will be able to marry the Mermaid Empress back." Home!"

"I see." Han Yujue said with a smile. "Then I wish you success."

The flower platform was getting closer, and many passers-by whistled.

The drum beats thunderously, and the piano sounds lightly.Mu Qiaoxuan fluttered her long sleeves, twisting her waist among the scattered petals, dancing gracefully like a fairy.Her big eyes that were hesitant to speak swept across the young people on the side of the road one by one, and finally met Murong Che's eyes with a smile on her face.

"Are you dumbfounded too?" Han Yujue laughed.

Everyone in the audience watched mesmerized, and Murong Che also stared intently at the dancer with dazzling pearl tassels.

Murong Che smiled: "Out of male politeness, I took a few glances."

"That's weird, I've never seen you be so polite to other beauties before." Han Yujue sighed deliberately. "It's true, Mu Qiaoxuan is so pure and well-behaved, she can't compare to me, cruel and vicious, with a dark belly..."

Murong Che looked down at Han Yujue: "I've never thought of you that much. If you're not happy, then we won't watch this..."

Suddenly, the crowd booed!
The bouquet decorated with roses fell on Murong Che impartially. When he was young, he often played Cuju with the gangster warriors in the slums of Xijing City. Now he also occasionally holds Cuju competitions in the Imperial Court, so he subconsciously stretched out his hand to support him. this ball.

"..."

"..."

Han Yujue and Murong Che were speechless at the same time.

It turned out that Mu Qiaoxuan, who was secretly in love with Murong Che, directly aimed at Murong Che on the stage and threw the flower ball. At this moment, she turned her red sleeves on the flower stage and looked at him shyly.

"The groom is out!"

The young and strong man carrying the flower stand slowly put Mu Qiaoxuan down, and the villagers couldn't help but step forward and grab Murong Che up.

"I'm already engaged."

Murong Che gently shook off these helpless villagers, and said calmly.

"What is a marriage contract? After receiving the bouquet, even if you are already married, you have to divorce her!"

"This is the rule of our village! Otherwise, why did you catch the flower ball just now?"

The villagers were in high spirits, and many of them drank a lot of wine because they were happy. They were already drunk and couldn't make sense. They pushed the coy Mu Qiaoxuan in front of Murong Che and asked them to get married tonight. bridal chamber.

"In previous years, Qiao Xuan refused to throw a bouquet, but this year she finally threw it!"

"There's another show tonight! Let's go to the village head's house to have a bridal chamber!"

As soon as the proposal of having a bridal chamber came out, everyone became even more excited.

"Jade Jue..."

Murong Che was surrounded by villagers, and Mu Qiaoxuan threw himself into his arms and grabbed his collar tightly, so he had no choice but to turn around and call Han Yujue.

Han Yujue stood behind him, with a half-smile: "Everyone is right, if you don't want to marry, what are you doing with someone else's bouquet?"

Mu Qiaoxuan noticed Han Yujue, so she let go of Murong Che, and said to Han Yujue with an innocent face, "I'm sorry, Sister Yujue, this is a village rule since ancient times, I have to marry Brother Murong."

Han Yu was determined to think what he had to do. Didn't you throw the bouquet on him yourself?

Seeing the pure and innocent Mu Qiaoxuan, Han Yujue just smiled and said, "Since that's the case, there's nothing I can do...Brother Murong, you can stay here and get married."
