"Lan Lan, why did the fate of this life leave you in the afterlife? If you die, how am I going to marry you? If Lan Lan marries to me, I will do my best to love you and give you the life you want. " Xie Zimo dragged Lan Lan to swim to the shore, holding her tightly in his arms.
There had been such scenes before, so far away, so far away that he could not remember them.
Now, Xie Zimo could not just ignore his savior. This was his responsibility as a man. Even if he didn't like Lan Lan, he couldn't leave her when she was at her most disappointed. He wanted to marry Lan Lan, and he had to be responsible for her life!
"Tell me, is that true?" Lan Lan was brought to the shore, coughed a few times, looked at Xie Zimo in shock, and asked again, "You really want to marry me? "But I, I've already …"
"It is precisely because of this that I want to marry you. I cannot leave you behind. You saved me, and I didn't protect you. Sorry... "I am willing to take responsibility for your future life. If you are willing, please marry me." Xie Zimo's eyes were filled with determination and decisiveness, as if nothing would waver this decision.
The nearby purple-clothed woman secretly looked at them with a strange curve of her lips.
Xie Zimo brought Lan Lan back home. The Landlord and Wu Chen were overjoyed as they watched the two of them come back, talking and laughing. Such a satisfying ending soon spread throughout the small island of Walnut. The news that the Landsman's daughter was going to be married off made the entire island very lively. The Landsman decided that it would be better to choose a date than to strike a date, so he set the date of his marriage three days later. In reality, he was worried that things might get out of hand, so he could get married as soon as possible.
These days, everyone on the island was busy preparing for Lan Lan's and Xie Zimo's wedding. The Landsman accompanied his daughter in choosing her dowry and measuring her clothes, while Chen Xu and his entourage helped to set up the new house. Only Xie Zimo was distracted, and occasionally his mind was distracted. He was still reminiscing about that woman from the Medicine Valley named Qiang Xue. He wondered what she was doing now. Would he be angry because he didn't want to find her? Could it be that he had already left? However, things had already gotten to this point. He was no longer able to find her. Perhaps, this was fate. He and she had always been fated to be together.
"The heavens have come. Look, this is the gold bracelet that father made for me, as well as my new clothes. The heavens have come, do you think it's pretty?" Lan Lan, who was wearing a golden bracelet with a dragon and phoenix design on it, swung it in front of Xie Zimo. Lan Lan, who was wearing a golden bracelet with a dragon and phoenix design on it, waved it in front of Xie Zimo's eyes.
"Nothing." Xie Zimo shook his head and said, "Lan Lan looks good wearing anything."
"Then help me look at the earrings and see which pair I'm wearing." Lan Lan opened the jewelry box and asked Xie Zimo to pick out a pair of earrings for her. Xie Zimo smiled faintly and pointed to a pair of earrings.
"About this, the simpler ones look better."
"Come, come over here for a moment." Chen Xu walked in from outside and called out to the pestered Xie Zimo. Lan Lan pouted. Watching her brother take Xie Zimo away, she stuck out her tongue and made a face. Then, she turned around and went to chat with her father. Chen Xu took Xie Zimo to the market, picking out a wedding cake and chatting.
"Come on, do you really not remember the past?" Chen Xu opened the lid of the bamboo basket and carefully examined the sweet biscuit inside. He pinched a small piece and placed it in his mouth for a taste. Feeling that it was not bad, he asked the owner for the price, "This, how much is it?"
"I don't remember. Perhaps, it was the heavens that made me forget the past." Xie Zimo smiled hesitantly as he looked at Chen Xu. He was a standard fisherman. His facial features were ordinary, and he had a strong body. At his waist was a dagger that cut through the fishing net. He looked very honest.
"Sometimes I don't remember anything. There's nothing wrong with that. However, I have already said the unsightly words first. After you are together with Lan Lan, you cannot bully her. If you dare to bully my Lan Lan, I will throw you back into the sea. " After Chen Xu and the owner had agreed on the price, he turned around and patted Xie Zimo on the shoulder, purposely making a fist gesture.
"I should be the one that was bullied, right?" After Xie Zimo finished speaking, he laughed heartily. The two of them put their arms around each other's shoulders and went to another store to continue choosing other things …
Three days later.
The gongs and drums of the small island walnut, the firecrackers of the street, laid out a floor of red makeup.
The Island Leader had Xie Zimo and Wu Chen bring a bridal sedan chair over. Lan Lan Feng, wearing a phoenix coronet and ceremonial robes, was led by the Island Leader to the two of them. Xie Zimo opened the curtain of the palanquin and let Lan Lan sit inside. The wedding procession lifted up the bridal sedan, and the sound of gongs and drums rang out in the air. The bridal escort team walked around the small island of walnuts, letting everyone know that the Island Chief's daughter, Lan Lan, was getting married today.
Xie Zimo sat on his horse and walked in front of the bridal sedan. He looked at the red makeup on the street and the scene in front of him shook. The sound of the gongs and drums buzzed in his ears. In his memory, there seemed to be such a scene.
Xie Zimo suddenly turned his head and looked at the bridal sedan.
The surroundings seemed to have changed. The woman in the bridal sedan was dressed in red, and her red veil was fluttering in the wind. The girl's appearance was faintly discernible. The people in the pavilion were bustling with excitement, all of them watching the show. On the street, 10 li of red makeup. Behind the carriage, a pair of twin brothers were talking and laughing with the girl.
Xie Zimo reached out his hand to lift the red veil covering the woman's head. A sonorous voice interrupted his thoughts.
"Get off the palanquin!" Chen Xu shouted as they walked in a circle to stop in front of the Island Minister's house.
Walnut Island is so small that I didn't even have time to memorize the route before I was back at the starting point.
Seeing that Xie Zimo did not react, Chen Xu hurriedly pulled on his sleeves, "Come in the sky, we're here. Come down quickly and help Lan Lan to enter!"
"Oh, oh." Xie Zimo paused for a moment, then hurriedly dismounted. He lifted the curtain of the bridal sedan and helped Lan Lan out.
The two of them were escorted into the hall.
However, Xie Zimo couldn't get over the image of the wedding ceremony.
Before he even had the chance to recall deeply, Wu Chen had already stuffed three joss sticks into his hand, urging him and Lan Lan to burn.
"Kneel, offer incense." Chen Xu's loud voice resounded within the hall.
Xie Zimo did not know about these customs, so he could only kneel down and offer incense to Chen Xu.
"Matrimonial marriage!" Chen Xu seemed to be more anxious than Xie Zimo to get married to Lan Lan. He seemed to be chasing after the ducks as he shouted, "I bow to the heaven and earth!"
The two of them held the red ball and bowed towards the door.
A gust of wind blew past, bringing with it a fragrant scent.
Xie Zimo lifted his head and looked at the woman in the red dress.
Her face was covered by the same red gauze as before. She wore a red gauze dress, and her long hair was slightly tied up. Her facial features were as pretty as a painting.
There was a sudden silence in the hall, making one forget what to do next.
The dense snow walked towards Xie Zimo, stopped in front of him, and looked at him without saying anything.
After a long while, Xie Zimo asked, "Fragrant snow? "Why are you here?"
"How can I not come when you are married?" The fragrant snow asked.
"I …" Xie Zimo wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
"I once, wanted to forget the past, wanted to start over. However, a person's past could not be abandoned. I was always afraid, running away, lying to myself. From the moment you fell into the sea, I knew that without you, I would have nothing. " The woman wearing the veil had eyes like water.
Xie Zimo was dressed as a groom, and he looked at her with a complicated expression.
Lan Lan, who was standing beside her in her phoenix coronet and ceremonial robes, was still holding onto the other side of the red embroidered ball. She was slightly anxious. Gripping the silk cloth of the red silk ball tightly, afraid that something unexpected would happen. The parents and elders in the hall didn't know what had happened, but they were waiting for the wedding to continue. Chen Xu wanted to stand up and drive away the sweet snow, but the snow suddenly reached out and took off her veil.
The veil gently fell and drifted away with the wind.
Everyone was shocked as they looked at the girl's face.
Under the woman's clear eyes, her face was riddled with scars and was terrifyingly mottled. But she only smiled faintly, as if the pain had nothing to do with her.
"Fragrant Snow, your face?" Xie Zimo's emotions were in disarray, he reached out his hand, wanting to touch the 100 miles of fragrant snow in front of him. Seeing her face, his heart suddenly ached for some unknown reason.
When the wound wasn't healed, it must be very painful, right?
"Lu Zixu said that by ruining my face, he would destroy all of your thoughts. So I ruined the face. I thought I would never see you again. I didn't expect you to be alive. The current me doesn't have the qualifications to continue to stay by your side. The current me, very ugly, perhaps even the beggars on the street are better looking than me. I have no right to love you again. If staying here will make you happy, then I wish you happiness. "
A piece of jade with a bit of warmth on it fell into Xie Zimo's palm, Baili Xueyi returned it to him, and smiled indifferently: "This is your bride, I wish you a good hundred years of harmony."
After saying all this, Baili Xueyi slowly turned around, as if she had used up all her strength to walk out of the door.
Xie Zimo wanted to chase after her, but no matter how he looked at the warm jade pendant in his hand, he couldn't move a single step. He stood there trembling, letting the tears fall.
He didn't know what was wrong with him. Why did he feel sad? Why are you crying?
Come, come! " Chen Xu urged Xie Zimo, turning him around to face the island captain, "Second bow —
Xie Zimo muddle-headedly bowed to the Landsman and turned around to face Lan Lan in a daze.
"Husband and wife bow to each other!"
This time, Xie Zimo did not bow, only Lan Lan bowed.
"What's going on? Why isn't the groom bowing anymore?"
"Did that girl from before have a grudge with him?"
"What are you planning to do here?"
"…"
The crowd began to discuss and point.
Xie Zimo suddenly released the red ball. He couldn't explain his current mood, so he could only turn around and run out the door.
Lan Lan could feel that the person in front of her was about to leave. She quickly lifted her red hair and shouted at the back, "The heavens, where are you going! "Come back here!"
The newlyweds ran out one after the other. The island master and Chen Xu didn't know what was going on. Together with everyone in the house, they chased after them.
