Bearing the blue sky

Chapter 7 The Newlyweds

fiancée?

The gentleman is acting as matchmaker?

Zhu Ge suddenly realized that something must have gone wrong.

However, my thoughts were in complete disarray, and my already drowsy mind went blank.

However, he knew that it would be best to collect more of this information and then use the Kunpeng special ability to process it all at once after the situation was restored.

At this point, the best course of action is to play dumb!

"Isn't Hua Xiaomei dead? How can you get engaged?" Zhu Ge's voice remained emotionless.

"Hua Xiaomei is dead?" Yu Xiucai's expression changed drastically upon hearing this: "What, what are you talking about?"

"Hua Xiaomei is dead," Zhu Ge repeated.

"Oh no... I have to go back." With that, he abandoned Zhu Ge and hurried back to his residence.

Zhu Ge felt there was definitely something fishy going on.

Of course, the most puzzling thing is Yu Xiucai himself.

As a disciple of the master, you have always acted as a virtuous gentleman. Why have you made such a mistake now?

You should know that if that god was powerful enough to destroy the "Confucian" character written by the scholar himself, and if Yu Xiucai was also unable to resist having his god taken away, then that would be normal.

But the problem is that Yu Xiucai doesn't look like someone who has been deprived of their divine power at all.

It was more like there was no resistance at all.

That's strange!

"After gathering a little more information, I'll use Kunpeng again..." Zhu Ge thought to himself.

Now that Yu Xiucai has left, Zhu Ge is also preparing to go out.

He glanced at his mother.

The mother subconsciously sat down in the darkness outside the sunlight from the open window to weave a straw basket, her movements mechanical and stiff.

The woven straw basket no longer looks beautiful as before; instead, it resembles a spiky sea urchin, giving it a creepy and eerie feel.

"I'm going out."

After finishing her sentence, Zhu Ge opened the door and went out.

After he left, the mother slowly raised her head in the darkness.

Her empty, numb eyes stared at the unclosed door. After a while, she slowly lowered her head and continued weaving the straw basket in her hands.

However, the shape of the grass basket gradually became more rounded from that of a sea urchin, and the bristles of the grass pierced the air like hair.

Overall, the straw basket looks like a human head, complete with hair and a face.

And the mother repeated the name of the blessing song:

"A blessing song... A blessing song..."

……

After Zhu Ge went outside, she felt a chill on her head and neck.

"The sun is so bright, yet I still feel cold. It's really strange..."

Zhu Ge sighed softly.

He really wants to go to sleep right now.

But in order to survive, he still had to carry out the plan he had made the night before when he wore the Kunpeng.

Gather enough information, find God's dwelling place, destroy it, and then continue to wait for the Master to return in the village!

There was no other way but to stay in the village. At least there were fences and walls, and we also had tools and weapons.

But what if one escapes into the vast jungle?

That's practically the same as sending someone to their death.

Gods, ghosts, demons, monsters, and monsters are everywhere; going out means certain death.

He wants to save himself in the village!

Moreover, one tree cannot support a forest, so he must preserve as much of the village's manpower as possible!

Currently, he sees many people who have become like zombies.

But some of the stronger ones, like Ma Laizi, are quite normal.

"Let's go to Ma Laizi's house first. We mustn't let that guy say anything out of line."

Zhu Ge's original plan was to visit each place one by one, from south to north.

To prevent Ma Laizi from spreading rumors and causing panic, Zhu Ge has to make a trip there.

Previously, Ma Laizi and his group of loaders seemed to have helped a family replace their roof beams, but it was unclear which family it was.

As he searched, he recalled the young Hua girl from back then.

No matter how you look at it, whether it's death or life.

The Hua Xiaomei singing nursery rhymes was definitely not the Hua Xiaomei he remembered.

However, Yu Xiucai's expression changed drastically after hearing that Hua Xiaomei was dead.

This means that Hua Xiaomei is indeed a key point.

However, Zhu Ge still couldn't figure out Hua Xiaomei's intentions when she appeared in front of him earlier.

Is it good?

Is it bad?

Difficult to distinguish.

However, the information provided by Hua Xiaomei became a powerful tool for him to determine the true form of the god.

There's also Scholar Yu.

Yu Xiucai's behavior just now was indeed strange!

There were too many strange things... Just as she was thinking this, Zhu Ge suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Not far away, a house that looked brand new was under construction.

Some middle-aged men are enthusiastically carrying logs, driving piles, and irrigating with glutinous rice and mud.

Build a house?

Zhu Ge searched his memory, but there was no mention of houses being built in Jianshan Village.

This made Zhu Ge realize that either his memory was faulty, or reality was faulty.

But in short, something went wrong!

Zhu Ge walked quickly over, and the sense of absurdity in her heart intensified as she got closer.

A huge "囍" character was pasted on the outside of the earthen house, the paper as red as blood.

"Hey! The groom's here!"

As Zhu Ge approached, several burly men greeted him with smiles.

"I?"

Zhu Ge was taken aback, but then she felt a sense of familiarity when she looked at the room in front of her.

This eerie sense of familiarity, coupled with the vivid memories in her mind, gave Zhu Ge a feeling of being disconnected.

He took a few steps forward, but was suddenly stopped by a man.

"Stop, stop, stop! Today isn't our wedding night. It's unlucky for the groom to enter the bridal chamber." The man smiled broadly. "The front door can only be opened on the wedding day."

"That's right, that's right! Your husband will be back in a couple of days, just in time for your wedding!"

"Little Hua was just here, haha."

"Don't call me 'Little Sister Hua,' call me by my full name, Hua Liusha!"

The men around them were also making a fuss, each with a smile on their face.

Some people asked in surprise, "Young man Zhu, why are your eyes so red? Didn't you sleep well?"

Zhu Ge scratched his head sheepishly: "I was thinking about things yesterday, and the chirping of insects kept me awake all night."

"It is quite noisy."

"Yeah, yeah! Even the bugs are in heat, haha!"

"Nonsense, it's the beginning of summer now, there's no spring here."

"It's that Zhu family boy who's in heat, haha!"

Amidst the laughter, Zhu Ge ignored them and instead looked at Ma Laizi.

Ma Laizi and his companions worked silently, heads bowed and eyes downcast.

"Ma Laizi, I need to talk to you," Zhu Ge called out softly.

Ma Laizi trembled, raised his head, and looked at Zhu Ge in horror: "You...you...you...looking for me? Scholar Yu just looked for me, why are you looking for me too?"

terror?

Zhu Ge frowned almost imperceptibly, wondering why Ma Laizi was facing him with such a terrified expression.

Moreover, Yu Xiucai also sought out Ma Laizi.

It seems that Scholar Yu really is problematic!

"Yes." Zhu Ge smiled and walked a few steps to Ma Laizi. "I need to talk to you."

Zhu Ge is estimated to be around 1.7 meters tall.

Ma Laizi was a head taller than him, over 1.8 meters, and had a more robust build.

But when Zhu Ge walked over, Ma Laizi subconsciously took two steps back.

Fortunately, everyone around was busy and no one noticed Ma Laizi's strange behavior.

"What did you discover?"

Upon getting closer, Zhu Ge couldn't help but frown and ask in a cold voice.

As a result of Zhu Ge's change in expression, Ma Laizi was so frightened that he almost screamed.
