My name is Zhang Qilin, and I am currently the only village guard in Zhangjiacun.
A village keeper is a person who protects the tranquility of the village throughout his life. As a village keeper, he has to live and die for the village all his life.
I didn't have to be a village guard, but my grandfather said that I was born a ghost.
People with this kind of fate can change yin and yang and tamper with the will of heaven. The only bad thing is probably that their fate is too strong and can conquer heaven and earth.
Therefore, God generally does not allow such people to exist.
So I have to accumulate merit, and in addition, I have to act crazy and act stupid, closing my five senses.
I was afraid that the people below would recognize me and take me in by force.
I asked my grandfather: "If this is the case, is it possible that I will be like this for the rest of my life?"
Grandpa said: "That's not necessary. When you reach adulthood and get married, you might be able to use the other person's fate to balance your fate."
So I kept waiting and waiting, until my grandfather died, but I still didn't get my marriage.
Until the day before I turned twenty, Zhang Laosan's family in the village happened to be holding a funeral, and there were more than a dozen tables set up.
Zhang Laosan's family is a rare big family in the village, so even though it was a funeral, it was still very lively to welcome and send off.
It happened to be a lunar month in a lunar year. I was afraid that something might cause trouble in Lao Zhang's house, so I went looking for it.
I saw that the spacious courtyard was crowded with people.
Zhang Laosan squeezed in the middle of the crowd, greeting one person and another, feeling very uncomfortable.
But when he saw me coming, his face suddenly fell.
"What are you doing here?"
"Hurry up and get out, this is not the place you should be."
Because I always pretend to be crazy and act stupid, people in the village don't like me very much, especially Zhang Laosan. He always thinks that I come to his house to ask for food.
Seeing that I was stubbornly refusing to leave, he forcefully stuffed a few steamed buns into his mouth to drive me away.
I had never been so angry before. I was about to turn around and leave when I suddenly saw an old man standing behind a young woman.
The old man looked in his sixties, with gray hair and a black air all over his body. Who could it be if it wasn't the old man who had just died in Zhang Laosan's family?
The woman in front of him was as white as jade, with eyes as beautiful as glass, and her mouth was red, as if she was holding honey.
At this moment, she exuded a faint scent of dragon soul.
And the old man stood behind her, just to absorb the dragon soul incense.
I don’t know where this woman came from and why she has this dragon soul fragrance on her body.
You must know that this dragon soul incense is the essence of a dragon. It is rare to see in a hundred years. Ordinary people cannot afford it and cannot bear it.
But before finding out the origin of this woman, the old man must be taken away first.
Otherwise, if he inhales the dragon soul incense and turns into a ghost, that will be my trouble.
Thinking in my mind, I walked forward and pretended to be silly as usual and said to the woman: "This place is too cold. Go to that place to bask in the sun. The sun is good for your health."
The woman, whose face was pale, was stunned for a moment when she heard this.
She didn't want to talk to me at first, but seeing me standing there and not walking away, she didn't want to talk to me, so she had to walk over.
The old man wanted to follow him, but I stopped him.
I said to him: "The reason why you died so early is because your son was unfilial and used your life to exchange for his wealth."
"If you don't deal with him, you will probably have a hard time in your next life."
I pointed to the wealth-gathering formation that Zhang Laosan had built with coffins not far away. Seeing the old man getting angry, I left with satisfaction.
I'm not a kind person to begin with, and this third child's wealth has always been erroneous. If I don't deal with him, I'm afraid I'll be sorry for the feng shui he has taken away from Zhangjiacun over the years.
Listening to the commotion behind me, I returned to my house happily as usual.
I was planning to have a good sleep when suddenly a luxury car stopped in front of my house.
The car door opened, and a woman dressed alluringly got out.
His eyes looked around, then landed on me.
After seeing my appearance clearly, her brows furrowed tightly and her tone was full of displeasure.
"Are you Zhang Qilin?"
"Yes, I am."
I responded blankly, thinking to myself, could this be the marriage Grandpa said?
Before he died, my grandfather told me that he had made several engagements for me and that they would contact me when the time came.
Is it time?
I stood there stupidly, and a neighbor passed by and shouted: "He is a fool. He talks nonsense all day long. Don't talk to him."
After hearing this, the woman's face changed dramatically: "My parents actually want me to marry a fool?! I tell you, I won't marry! There is no way that I, Ye Han, will marry a fool!"
Then she took out a marriage contract from her pocket, tore it up in front of me, took a wad of banknotes and threw them in front of me like charity, and left without looking back.
I was stunned by her actions.
Then another car came.
An old housekeeper came down from the top. Seeing that I couldn't come up with a single fart in my eight sentences, he shook his head and put down a marriage rejection letter.
On this day, eight cars arrived one after another.
Everyone looked up at me with disappointment, and everyone wanted to break off the engagement.
Just when I thought my life was over, a woman stood in front of me.
"Are you Zhang Qilin?"
The woman is delicate and pretty, as pretty as a flower. Who could she be if she wasn’t the girl I just met at Lao Zhang’s house?
I looked at her with confusion.
If you look at it in front of others, it will definitely look stupid.
But the girl didn't seem to mind. Instead, she smiled and said to me, "Hello, my name is Li Xin, and I'm here specifically to marry you."
A man who looked like a housekeeper next to him babbled: "Miss, the second lady has already said that he is a pitiful fool. You cannot marry him, and the second lady has already canceled the marriage!"
The butler looked so thoughtful.
Li Xin didn't care, she just smiled at me and said: "I wasn't very comfortable just now, but after you let me go to bask in the sun, I felt much better. So, are you willing to marry me and be my husband?"
Li Xin smiled calmly, as if there was nothing wrong with it, but the housekeeper next to her was extremely anxious.
I should have refused, but looking at the smiling face in front of me, I couldn't say no.
And she also has dragon soul incense on her body, maybe it can change my fate.
I thought about it, nodded, and repeated what she said stupidly.
"Okay, I'll marry you and be your husband."
In this way, I naturally became the son-in-law of the Li family.
Since he is the son-in-law, he must leave Zhangjiacun.
