Midnight Forced Marriage

Chapter 229 Guardian Backlash
"But..." I was pulled to the door by Chu Yue, but I couldn't help but look back, Xiaohong was already exhausted, I suddenly thought of Xiaoyu, senior brother was too cowardly back then, otherwise he should have been by her side , then I now...

Chu Yue's hand around my shoulder tightened suddenly, I raised my head to look at him, but he smiled, "That's good!"

"what?"

Chu Yue continued to embrace me, and blocked part of my sight with his body.With a wave of his long arm, a wave of spiritual power surged in Xiaohong's direction, and soon condensed on one point.I pushed him, and poked my head out to see what he had done. On the table where Xiaohong was standing, a small barrier was set up by Chu Yue with a wave of spiritual power, covering Xiaohong.It's just that the backlash is still going on, and at this moment, the small body has gradually shown its true colors that used to be mud.

"This…"

"It's her mission to bear the backlash for the master, and it's not imposed on her by the outside world. So with or without the protection of the barrier, she must slowly disappear." Chu Yue explained, and he half pushed me out of the room The door, he turned over and closed the door again, "Because the moment the calculation happened, her end was doomed."

I understand this truth, but there is one thing I don't understand, "Then why do you set up an enchantment?"

Chu Yue looked at me, "I know you cherish her and sympathize with her. We don't know when we will come back, and this place is not absolutely safe, and the blood moon is coming soon. I will temporarily set up an enchantment to let the backlash go smoothly, so as not to avoid a halfway If there is an accident, then who will taste the consequences."

"It turns out that you are afraid that she will not bear the blowback for you, and run away or be rescued?" Thinking about it, although it is unlikely, it is also interesting, "Will this really happen?" I like It was talking to himself, not what Chu Yue was asking.

"Do you think I'm cruel?" Chu Yue asked without answering, he walked on without looking down at me.

I looked at his profile, frowned, and the hand holding his arm suddenly became stronger. Seeing that he was also frowning, I relaxed, and then tightened again, as if to remind him, "Chu Yue, do you think that in front of my eyes? Is the value of a clay doll in the book more important than you?"

Chu Yue still didn't look at me, but his face said it all. He never felt inferior, but he was also inevitably sensitive.

I don't need to explain any more, thinking of Chu Yue and thinking of Xiaoyu, how can it be the same?
"Let's go." Chu Yue no longer let me hold my arm, but he habitually wrapped his arms around my shoulders, as if he was going to pick me up at any time and fly me over the forest look.

It suddenly occurred to me that maybe he really had this idea, so he would always like to walk side by side with me like this.The reason why emergencies are called emergencies is that they are unpredictable, so this is the safest method at present.

Grandma Zhou lived in the main room, where we heard chattering and laughing, not only from Mrs. Xiaojia, but also from Grandma Zhou.

"It seems that you are worrying too much, she is doing well." Chu Yue smiled coldly, stood outside the door, and knocked on the door.

"Please come in!" The answer was not Mrs. Zhou, the owner of the house, but Mrs. Xiaojia. Even though she just answered, she still greeted us when we opened the door. Our expressions froze for a moment, "Ah, ah, welcome, you guys? What's the matter?"

Mrs. Xiaojia regained her enthusiasm and invited us into the room with a smile.

The house is quite big, but with more decorations, it looks like a typical place where old people live.The old things that have been accumulated for many years are not willing to throw away. The furniture and objects have become old and discolored, but if they can still be used, they will continue to make the best use of them and will not be thrown away easily.Grandma Zhou is obviously a frugal person. It is not difficult to understand that most people of this age have lived a hard life.

It's just that when you enter the door, it becomes much more crowded and narrow.Chu Yue and I walked almost cautiously, because there were a lot of things piled up on the ground.

"Come on, this way please, this way please!" Mrs. Xiaojia naturally knew the way, and walked to Grandma Zhou in two or three steps. There was a low mahogany table between them. There was a pot of tea on the table and two teacups were white. Porcelain, looks elegant and pleasant.

Behind Grandma Zhou is a large bed, which is old-fashioned furniture. There is a bed cabinet on the bed, and several quilts and thin mattresses are neatly stacked inside.The bed is covered with old-fashioned floral sheets, and there are only two pillows randomly scattered on it, one is round and full of cloisonné; the other is a rectangular jade pillow.Next to the bed is a row of tall furniture, nearly two meters high, and only a few centimeters short of reaching the ceiling.The furniture is brown-red, and each door is inlaid with jade carved into various shapes, including flowers, landscapes, figures and characters.It looks playful, rich and elegant.It's a pity that they are all old, and some of the doors have broken hinges due to years of use, and they hang there crookedly.

The long furniture is stacked from the left side of the wall to the window on the right side. The window is also very old, and the blackout curtains on the window are still made of cotton cloth, and it seems that they have not been opened for many years.There are many ancient books under the window. I don’t know how many years ago. More than half of them are thread-bound books. It must be classical Chinese?At least I can't read it.And under a row of furniture, various antique jade wares were randomly placed, all covered with a thick layer of dust.So obviously, those luxurious floor cabinets have not been opened for many years at all, and I don't know how many years of memories are stored inside.

Looking at the other wall, it is much closer to modern life, with desks, wardrobes, TV cabinets and various electrical furniture.It's just that things still piled up a lot, crowded and orderly.I don't know what Grandma Zhou is busy with every day, I don't see her out of the house when she has nothing to do, but the house is not cleaned up properly.On one side of these large appliances, there is a suite without a door, only a half cotton curtain.

"Come, drink tea." Mrs. Xiaojia pulled us to sit down, "Don't be disgusted, it's just the rough tea I brought from other places."

While talking, Mrs. Xiaojia took out teacups and poured them for us. The teacups have the appearance of two black glazes painting a red plum, which is very exquisite.The hospitality is hard to come by, so Chu Yue and I sat down and greeted Grandma Zhou.

"Grandma Zhou, there are so many antiques in your house?" I looked at the things on the floor curiously and asked, "There are Chinese-style ones, and there are Western-style ones..."

"My husband was also in business before. He often went out and bought a lot of things." Grandma Zhou answered carefully, her voice was very soft and slow.Thinking about it, Mrs. Xiaojia couldn't stop her saying one sentence in ten sentences.

"Grandma's husband is amazing. He was born as an orphan, penniless, and worked hard to become a rich man. If it weren't for the wrong years, this whole village might be owned by Grandma Zhou." , A few words can almost introduce the person's life experience clearly, regardless of whether people agree or not.

Sure enough, Grandma Zhou stood up, her expression unwavering, she couldn't see whether she was happy or dissatisfied, "Talk slowly, I'm tired, go in and rest. Xiaojia, if you go out, don't forget to close the door for me. "
