As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1190
Chapter 1190 A Grand Wedding
This time, she was shocked outside. Liu Jingjing was lying in bed for three days, unable to recover from her illness. The villagers were also worried about this. Zhao Dahu’s guts were getting bigger and bigger. Now, he dared to forcefully commit violence in broad daylight. It was really unimaginable what he would do next.
“What should we do now?”
Many people gathered in the village chief’s courtyard. They were worried about what had happened three days ago, and each of them hid their daughters like mountain bandits. They were not allowed to step out of the courtyard gate, let alone leave the village. However, this way, they would have to worry all day long. When would they end up?
“Alas!”
A white-haired old man sighed and said, “What should we do now? Could we go to the county and sue him for Zhao Dahu and say that he failed to forcefully do it? Sigh …”
Everyone couldn’t help but sigh. The Zhao Clan was a big landlord. Let alone an attempted landlord, even if they did, they would sue the county government. Then wouldn’t Zhao Tianba be able to get away with it? What was the use in the end?
“Fortunately, the little monkey ran fast this time. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable. With Liu’er’s temper, if she were to be ruined by Zhao Dahu, she would probably hang herself that night.”
“Speaking of which, then Zhao Dahu is a thief. Otherwise, I think that he might as well marry Liu’er. In this way, he will die even if he doesn’t have a thief’s heart, won’t he?”
“That’s a good idea. From now on, Zhao Dahu won’t bother us anymore. It’s just … who are we going to marry Liu’er to?”
“Do you still need to ask? Of course it’s Ah Tian!”
“Ah Tian …”
Everyone immediately began to discuss. A white-haired old man stroked his beard and said, “Not bad, not bad. Ah Tian was saved by her back then. No matter what, it was destined by the heavens. I don’t think there is anyone more suitable besides Ah Tian.”
“That’s right, I agree. A-Tian has been in our village for half a year. What do you think of his character? Which time did everyone have a problem that he didn’t help solve?”
“That’s true. Although Ah Tian came from outside, didn’t Doctor Liu also come from outside back then? In the end, he married Xiu’er and settled down in the village. It’s a pity that Xiu’er … sigh.”
“Village Chief, what do you think?”
At this time, many people looked at the old village chief. The old village chief’s expression was solemn. Finally, he nodded and said, “I’ll go back and talk to Doctor Liu about this matter.”
…
Inside the room, Liu Jingjing lay quietly on the bed, her face covered in cold sweat. She thought that she had nightmares again. These past few days, she had nightmares all the time.
“Ah Tian!”
“I’m …”
Xiao Chen sat beside her bed and never left. Liu Jingjing’s consciousness slowly became clear and she grabbed his hand forcefully, “Will you not leave? I’m afraid …”
“Don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere. You have a good rest …”
Xiao Chen comforted her gently. Back then, when he was unconscious, Liu Jingjing stayed in his room day and night. Now, it was just a change.
Liu Jingjing smiled pale, grabbed his hand, and slowly fell asleep again.
“Uh …”
Right at this moment, Xiao Chen suddenly let out a muffled snort. An unfamiliar and familiar scene flashed through his mind, giving him an incomparable headache.
“Ah Tian, what’s wrong with you …”
“No, it’s fine.”
Xiao Chen slowly recovered. Recently, he had always dreamed of strange scenes. That was why he was in a daze a few days ago. Every time he slept until noon, he would not wake up.
After a few more days, Liu Jingjing finally got better. Today, she was able to get out of bed and walk. After another two days, she had basically recovered completely.
This morning, she didn’t know what Doctor Liu had said to her. During the whole day, she would blush from time to time, especially when she saw Xiao Chen. It was as if she was avoiding him. It was completely different from the past.
After a few days, Xiao Chen naturally noticed the abnormality. He always felt that she was avoiding him intentionally or unintentionally, and the gazes of the villagers at him were somewhat strange.
“Brother Ah Tian! Brother Ah Tian! Congratulations!” Sun Xiaohou ran over from somewhere and smiled. Xiao Chen was a little puzzled and asked, “Congratulations on what?”
“Huh?”
Sun Xiaohou also looked at him curiously, “You’re going to marry big sister Liu’er … don’t you know?”
“What?”
Xiao Chen’s eyebrows narrowed. At this moment, he recalled how strange the villagers had been these past few days. No wonder … Miss Liu’er had always avoided him these past few days. She didn’t come to find him every day to play like before. But why didn’t she know about this?
“Cough cough, little monkey, you go to the side to play first … Ah Tian, you do it.”
At this time, the old village chief suddenly appeared behind the two of them. Sun Xiaohou made a face at him and ran to the side.
“Village Chief, Little Monkey just said …”
“It’s like this …”
Immediately, the village chief told him what everyone had discussed. After hearing this, Xiao Chen was stunned.
The old village chief smiled and said, “Ah Tian, look. Everyone wants you to stay. If you can’t remember the past, don’t think about it. Living a good life with Liu’er isn’t better than anything else.”
“But …”
Xiao Chen wanted to say something, but the old village chief interrupted, “You child, can’t you tell that Liu’er used to be careless all day long? After you came, she became so quiet now. Isn’t it because she likes you?”
“You like me …”
Xiao Chen’s heart trembled slightly. At this moment, it was more like he was stunned. He muttered, “But these days, she …”
“Aiyo, young man, do you really not understand? Tsk tsk tsk …”
The old village chief looked at him and said, “If you are a young lady, then you will definitely be shy. Why are you shy? Isn’t it because you like it that you are shy? Young man, look at you. Why are you like a piece of wood? You don’t understand the thoughts of the young lady at all?”
“This, this …”
“Then what else can we do?”
The old village chief looked at him and said, “Ah Tian, think carefully. Don’t let the girl down. If you think it over clearly, on the first day of next month, all of us will help you and Liu’er settle the marriage properly …”
“On the first day of next month …”
Xiao Chen raised his head and looked up into the sky. Winter had already arrived, and it was about to snow. That night, on the roof, Miss Liu’er said, accompanying her to watch the heavy snowfall …
…
On the 30th of October, the village was already filled with red lights. It was as if it was a festival. Doctor Liu was well-liked, so he naturally had to do well to marry his daughter. Apart from Zhao Dahu, all of the villages in the Eight Ten Miles Village had sent invitations.
The entire Liu Clan’s courtyard was decorated with lanterns and red flowers. In Liu Jingjing’s boudoir, Cai Wei was also there. She peeked out from the window and said excitedly, “Sister Liu’er, why don’t we call Big Brother Monkey and secretly take a look at what Big Brother Ah Tian is doing?”
“This, how can this be …”
Liu Jingjing’s face was shy and she turned her head. When she thought of marrying Ah Tian tomorrow, a smile like sugar and honey appeared on her face.
At this moment, in Xiao Chen’s room, there was a big red lantern hanging outside, and the candles in the room were flickering gently in the wind.
Xiao Chen held a concentric knot in his hand and smiled. However, at this moment, another scene flashed through his mind, giving him an incomparable headache.
The next morning, the matchmaker from the next village hurried over and said, “Aiyo, hey! You groom, today is your wedding day. Why are you up now? Hurry up, hurry up. When the guests are all here, what should we do if we miss our lucky day?”
“Granny Wang … You, don’t worry, I’ll be fine soon.”
“What’s my hurry? You’re in a hurry! Hurry, hurry, I’ll wait for you outside!”
“Good, good” Xiao Chen hurriedly got up and rubbed his forehead forcefully. What happened last night, he fell asleep again …
The sound of gongs and drums and firecrackers had already been heard outside. He could no longer think about last night and hurriedly changed into the bridegroom’s clothes. However, when he was tidying up his old clothes, a blood jade suddenly fell from inside.
“This is …”
Xiao Chen bent down and picked up the blood jade on the ground. Spirit light flickered inside the jade. At this moment, the sounds of firecrackers and gongs and drums outside seemed to have stopped. The entire room became incomparably quiet.
Xiao Chen stared blankly at the blood jade in his hand. In that instant, countless broken memory fragments seemed to have been reorganized in his mind. They were like tides, frantically rushing over.
“Xiao Yichen! You still don’t know how to repent. You still have to insist on protecting this demonic witch!”
“What disciple learned in the past, today … has all been returned to Master …”
“Chen’er … don’t!”
“Why, why, the heavens can accommodate all living beings, but they can’t accommodate a single her … Ah!”
“If anyone stops me today, I will kill him!”
“Someone … Hurry up and come! Take … take down this bastard!”
“Master … this is what you said before. Are there any living beings in this world …”
“Chen’er … Chen’er!”
…
At this moment, Xiao Chen finally remembered everything. He was completely stunned in his room.
At this moment, the room was extremely quiet. It was really quiet. It wasn’t just an illusion. The sound of gongs and drums outside suddenly disappeared. The entire village became very quiet, and even the barking of dogs could no longer be heard.
“Shit!”
At this moment, Xiao Chen reacted. He immediately thought that something was wrong. That person from that day … was Zi Weisi!
