Yue Xiuzhen ran home happily, but suddenly found that her ankle was wrapped by a squirming bright red, and it was moving up more and more.
With a loud bang, her entire body stiffened as she stood still. She stared in horror at the red thing that was constantly coiling around her legs. It was like the big snake in the forest, nimbly and dangerously coiling around her body, getting tighter and tighter.
Dan Shihan noticed that her face was pale, and her eyes widened in shock as she stared at the ground…
"Pin 'er, what's wrong?" Noticing her strange behavior, Dan Shihan's heart sank. Could it be that Li Niu's tea was poisoned? He threw away the straw basket in his hand and ran to Yue Xiu Xin's side. He hugged her tightly and comforted her softly,""Pin 'er, don't be afraid. I'm here. I'll take you to the town to see a doctor immediately. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid.”
"H-husband, there's…there's a red snake.”Yue Xiuzhen was so frightened that she couldn't finish her sentence. Her breathing was rapid and her body was as stiff as a stone.
Dan Shihan released her and looked up and down. There was no snake.
Pin 'er, where is the snake?"
"A red snake, it's coiling around my legs. It's almost wrapped around my knees. What should I do?”Yue Xiuzhen was so anxious that she was about to cry. Suddenly, she pushed Dan Shihan away forcefully." Don't get too close to me. What if the snake wraps around you too?"”
Pin 'er, there are no snakes here." Dan Shihan felt extremely distressed and regretted letting her go to the mountains alone to pick herbs.
Yue Xiuzhen took a deep breath to calm herself down and slowly lowered her head." Yes, red." It was wrapped around my leg. Wuwuwu, it was very long.”
Dan Shihan was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He hugged Yue Xiuyan tightly and comforted her,""Be good, Pin 'er. There really aren't any snakes. You're the one who's hallucinating because you're scared.”
Illusion?
Yue Xiuzhen blinked." Let go of me first."”
"Pin 'er, don't be afraid. There really aren't any snakes.”Dan Shihan patted her back and gently released her.
Yue Xiuzhen lowered her head. Who said it wasn't? It was still wrapped around her calf, and…Eh? It wasn't a snake, but a red thread?
Yue Xiuzhen closed her eyes and tried to calm down. When he opened his eyes again, the red root was still there. She pushed Dan Shihan away and slowly walked back on the red line…
"Where are you going?" Dan Shihan was puzzled.
"Husband, take the tofu home first. I'll be home later." Yue Xiuzhen trotted on the red line, searching for its source.
Dan Shihan was worried about her and followed behind her. It was not until the two of them arrived outside Li Niu's courtyard that Yue Xiuyan stood outside the courtyard door, panting, looking down at her feet.
Yue Xiuzhen squatted down and stretched out her index finger to touch the red thread wrapped around her calf. Her slender fingers passed through the thread, but the red thread did not break. The red thread slowly loosened until one end of the red thread swayed like a snake's head.
"Are you taking me to Li Niu's bride?”Yue Xiuzhen muttered to herself. She stood up curiously and followed Hong Xian's head to the southeast of the village.
Dan Shihan frowned. Where was she going?
…………
The red line seemed to have a life of its own as it continued to wriggle forward, leading Yue Xiu Xin to the most remote farmhouse in the southeast corner of the village.
In the entire Fu Village, the village chief's house was the best, followed by Old Li's house, and then Li Niu's house. As for the worst house, it was the one in front of them.
The mud house built on the ruins was dilapidated. The only house had no windows. The windows were nailed with patched rags to block the cold wind of late autumn. There were three chickens in the courtyard, and an old and weak man was half-lying on a stone table, coughing as if he was about to die.
"Father, the medicine is here." A girl walked out of the shed that was set up next to him. She came to the old man with a broken bowl. As she comforted the old man's hunchback, she fed the old man medicine and whispered,"Dad, be careful, it's hot."
The old man couldn't drink any more after drinking half of it. He took a long breath and fell back onto the stone platform weakly." Girl, find a few people from the other village to carry me to the mass grave tomorrow." I've also lived for 50 years. I'm content.”
"Father, what are you talking about?" The girl complained unhappily as tears flowed uncontrollably.
The old man coughed violently again. His hunched back was like a small mountain. He lay on the stone platform in pain, coughing until his entire body curled up. Only when his breathing calmed down did he get up slightly. He raised his head with difficulty and looked at his daughter." Girl, how good would it be if you got married?" Even if I die, I can go see your mother in peace. At that time, your mother won't complain that I went down too early. What if I leave you alone to be bullied by others?”
"Father, don't say anymore. I'm afraid.”The girl covered her mouth as large drops of tears fell.
The old man couldn't bear to let his daughter cry. He let out a long sigh and fell back onto the stone platform weakly, waiting for death to come.
Outside the courtyard, Yue Xiuzhen bit her lip and tried not to cry. She heard the girl's heart begging the Bodhisattva to save her father. She also heard the old man's heart. He hoped that before he died, he could see that his daughter had someone to rely on for life.
Her ankle tightened, and Yue Xiuzhen's blurry vision gradually became clear. She saw the red line wriggling forward, passing through the dilapidated courtyard door, all the way to the girl's body...
"So it's the red string of marriage."
It was not until one end of the red string was wrapped around the girl's finger that Yue Xiuyan came to a realization. A thousand-mile marriage was tied by a thread. This red thread must be that mysterious marriage thread.
Yue Xiuzhen wiped her tears and strode over." Is anyone there?"”
