Chapter 456
Xiao Zhan wanted to take a detour but was stopped by the villagers.
These villagers are not very strong, and the most powerful ones are only at the second level of Starlight Realm.
According to them, there is a happy event in the village, and anyone passing by needs to sit down and have a glass of wedding wine.
If you don't drink, you don't give face, you are not a friend of the village, and it is unlucky.
Xiao Zhan thought for a while and then followed several villagers into the village.
The village is built on the mountain, with a towering mountain range behind it, a gentle slope in front, and a crystal clear stream further ahead.
There is a happy event in the village because the village chief's daughter is getting married today, and the groom is the son of the village chief of the next village.
The village chief's name is Niu Qiang, and his daughter's name is Niu Cuihua.
The houses in the village are all built with neat stone walls, which are strong and original.
In a large courtyard, villagers gathered together and sang songs that Xiao Zhan didn't understand.
In the middle of the crowd, a young woman wearing a bright red skirt and a red translucent veil was twisting her body and dancing to the singing.
The groom, who was also wearing a red robe, followed the rhythm of the songs and drank bowl after bowl of wine handed to him by the villagers.
Obviously, he couldn't bear it anymore. His body kept swaying left and right, his steps began to be sloppy, and his face turned red.
Finally, the singing stopped, and Niu Cuihua also stopped dancing and just stared at the groom.
The groom was mumbling something unknown, and saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth, making the villagers in the yard frown.
A flash of displeasure flashed across the face of the village chief Niu Qiang.
The groom's performance made him somewhat dissatisfied.
But when he thought that the other party was the son of the village head of the next village, and that he was a close relative of his daughter Niu Cuihua, Niu Qiang did not have an attack.
Xiao Zhan was pushed into the yard at this time.
Seeing an outsider arriving, Niu Qiang, as the host, handed Xiao Zhan a bowl of wine according to the rules.
Xiao Zhan saw that Niu Qiang had no ill intentions, so he took the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
Niu Cuihua also smiled, and then handed Xiao Zhan a bowl of wine.
Xiao Zhan drank it all in one gulp again.
Xiao Zhan's bold movements and handsome appearance immediately won waves of praise.
Niu Qiang looked at Xiao Zhan, then at the groom who was already drunk and about to fall to the ground, and suddenly whispered something in Niu Cuihua's ear.
Niu Cuihua's face turned red and then nodded.
Just listen to Niu Qiang smiling and asking Xiao Zhan:
"Young man, where is your home from?"
Xiao Zhan shook his head, "In this world, I am at home everywhere."
Hearing Xiao Zhan's answer, Niu Qiang had a distinct smile on his face.
He pointed at his daughter Niu Cuihua and asked:
"Do you think the bride is beautiful?"
In front of others, even if you are not beautiful, you still have to say that you are beautiful.
After all, they entertained me so warmly.
What's more, Niu Cuihua does look pretty.
"The bride is very beautiful," Xiao Zhan smiled and nodded, answering in the affirmative.
Hearing this, everyone in the yard burst into laughter.
Niu Qiang also clapped his hands and laughed.
Then he strode up to the groom, pulled off the red robe from the groom's body, walked back to Xiao Zhan, and was about to put the groom's clothes on Xiao Zhan.
Xiao Zhan was suddenly confused and quickly took a few steps back.
Niu Qiang suddenly frowned.
Other villagers in the yard also made sounds of surprise.
Niu Cuihua even tore off the red veil on her face and looked at Xiao Zhan angrily.
Niu Qiang looked at Xiao Zhan and said slowly:
"what do you mean?"
"What do you mean?" Xiao Zhan looked stunned, "What do you mean?"
"What do you mean? What do you mean by me!" Niu Qiang shook the groom's suit in his hand and glared at Xiao Zhan:
"You just said that my daughter is very beautiful, so you should wear this dress and get married to my daughter."
Xiao Zhan: "..."
"What's the rule?"
"I called your daughter beautiful out of politeness."
"Because of this sentence, you want me to marry your daughter? How ridiculous!"
Niu Qiang's face became a little uneasy.
There was a bit of chill in his voice:
"According to our rules here, if the bride is not satisfied with the groom, she can change him at any time."
"And complimenting a girl on her beauty means that you want to marry her."
"My daughter is willing, and so are you, so you should get married!"
Xiao Zhan almost cursed.
"Just now you asked me if your daughter is pretty."
"I don't understand the rules here, you are setting a trap on me!"
Seeing that his eyelids were torn, Niu Qiang was no longer polite and said coldly:
"Anyway, you have already said that my daughter is beautiful and she also likes you, so you two have to get married."
"You can't leave this village without getting married."
Xiao Zhan laughed angrily.
"It's really the most ridiculous thing in the world."
"In all my life, I have never seen such ridiculous rules."
"Okay, then try and see if you can keep me here today!"
"I would like to remind you, if you don't want your village to become a river of blood, then let me go immediately."
Niu Qiang looked at Xiao Zhan expressionlessly:
"So, you are great?"
Xiao Zhan shook his head and said indifferently: "I'm not very powerful, but it's not that difficult to deal with you."
Niu Qiang smiled.
The people in the village also laughed.
The next moment, Xiao Zhan felt dizzy.
His eyes widened, and he immediately understood that there was poison in the wine.
Before completely losing consciousness, Xiao Zhan exploded with all his strength, knocked away the crowd, and ran towards the distance.
But while running, Xiao Zhan's eyelids drooped and he fell directly into the stream.
Niu Cuihua ran over quickly, stretched out her hand to pull Xiao Zhan out of the stream, and carried him on her back. Then she ran back to the yard happily, and carried Xiao Zhan back to her room. Then she came out again and invited the villagers to drink together.
If Xiao Zhan was still awake at this time, he might want to kill him head-on.
After living for so many years, he was actually fooled in such a small mountain village today.
People in the village drink a lot.
This drinking session lasted from noon to late at night, and the crowd began to disperse.
Niu Qiang was also ninety percent drunk.
He pulled Niu Cuihua and warned him earnestly:
"This man is good. I must keep him and give birth to a big fat boy next year."
Niu Cuihua nodded quickly, her eyes filled with eager joy:
"Dad, go and rest quickly, I'm going in."
Niu Qiang smiled, then turned and left the yard.
Niu Cuihua rubbed her hands, opened the door excitedly, and entered the bedroom.
The bedroom was pitch dark.
Niu Cuihua snapped her fingers, and sparks flew out from her fingertips and fell into the oil lamp.
The oil lamp turned on, emitting a dim light.
Niu Cuihua took off her red dress and looked at Xiao Zhan, who was unconscious on the bed, with a look of excitement in her eyes.
As soon as she took a step forward, she saw a cold light coming from the dark corner of the room.
Niu Cuihua was stunned for a moment, then smacked her palm suddenly.
This palm has no rules, but there is a weak star power surging.
"Plop!" A dart pierced Niu Cuihua's palm.
Niu Cuihua screamed and was covered in cold sweat from the pain.
She roared angrily, "Who, come out!"
A figure came out of the corner.
It can be seen that this is also a woman, wearing a long black dress, her eyes are cold and full of murderous intent.
Niu Cuihua was so angry that she was trembling all over, her whole body surged with strength, and she rushed towards the woman in black skirt.
Niu Cuihua is at the first level of the Starlight Realm. She has not practiced any skills. She was born in the world of Tianlan. When she lives to this age, she will naturally become the first level of the Starlight Realm.
The woman in the black skirt is only at the first level of Starlight Realm, but with combat experience, she can outrun Niu Cuihua by a hundred streets.
She kicked out and Niu Cuihua was kicked away, breaking the window and falling into the yard.
Niu Cuihua held her stomach and cried in pain.
She shouted loudly:
"Dad, come on, there's a thief, there's a thief!"
The next moment, I saw lights on all the houses in the village.
One after another, figures began to rush towards this side.
The woman in the black dress originally wanted to kill Niu Cuihua, but after seeing this scene, she immediately gave up the idea. She gave Niu Cuihua a cold look, then directly carried the unconscious Xiao Zhan on the bed, jumped out of the window, and headed towards Running wildly in the dark.
"Put him down!" Niu Qiang's roar sounded outside the yard.
The next moment, Niu Qiang picked up a stone and threw it directly in the direction where the woman in black skirt escaped.
In the darkness, a muffled sound sounded.
Niu Qiang rushed into the darkness, but could no longer find the woman in black skirt and Xiao Zhan.
He stamped his feet in anger and quickly turned around to check the injury of his daughter Niu Cuihua.
Niu Cuihua got married today, and Niu Qiang was very happy.
After he left just now, he went to drink with some old men in the village.
Not far after he walked out, he heard Niu Cuihua's shout, so he rushed back immediately.
But unexpectedly, the thief still escaped.
There are more and more people in the yard.
Niu Cuihua kept crying, covering her face with her hands full of blood, looking completely shameless in front of others.
On the wedding night, the groom was snatched away. What a shame.
Niu Qiang roared hysterically:
"Search!"
"Don't miss any place, you must find the person for me!"
Among the mountains behind the village.
The woman in black skirt carried Xiao Zhan on her back and stumbled into a cave.
In the darkness, she looked at Xiao Zhan's face and remained silent for a long time.
She reached out and touched her lower abdomen, only to feel cold blood on her hand.
The next moment, she leaned over and kissed Xiao Zhan's forehead, then stumbled out of the cave.
A moment later, a roar sounded in the distance:
"The thief is here. She is injured. Everyone, come quickly!"
The sky gradually became brighter.
A ray of dawn fell from the sky, illuminating the cave.
Xiao Zhan's eyelids trembled and he slowly opened his eyes.
He rubbed his head, which seemed to be about to explode, and his brain went blank for a moment.
Then he remembered that he passed by a village for no apparent reason, was pulled into a courtyard for drinking for no apparent reason, was asked to get married for no apparent reason, and fell into a coma for no apparent reason.
Apparently, someone brought him here.
Xiao Zhan's eyes swept over the dried blood on the ground, and he couldn't help but frowned tightly.
The person who saved him was injured!
Who is the one?
When he reached the entrance of the cave, Xiao Zhan's eyes instantly saw the village in the distance.
Xiao Zhan could vaguely see that everyone in the village had gathered together, as if something big had happened.
Xiao Zhan suddenly had a bad intuition in his heart.
He rushed out of the cave as fast as he could
Rush towards the village.
With Xiao Zhan's strength at the seventh level of the Starlight Realm, it was too easy to enter the village quietly.
He stood at the corner of a stone house and looked ahead at the crowded courtyard.
The next moment, Xiao Zhan's eyes trembled.
He saw a figure covered in blood, tied to a pillar.
Niu Cuihua was holding a sharp knife and stabbing it into the body of the woman in black skirt.
Xiao Zhan's eyes instantly turned blood red.
He rushed out, his eyes cracked and roared:
"You...all must die!"
