Ch 603: Beating Luo Tianhe
“Golly, is that outrageous!”
Hearing this, I couldn’t help but shrink my neck; this is too damn terrifying!
This custom is too vicious!
“Uncle Chen, we’ve heard of this custom before; it was even on the news before, just like Uncle Dao said!”
Under the pretense of making a ruckus at the wedding chamber, they would then try every means to attack the groom, and even if they beat the groom to death, the whole village would just let it go!”
Ji Xinglan spoke softly, explaining it to me.
Now I finally know what “wicked hearts” truly means.
This isn’t simply wicked; it’s too damn wicked!
I have reason to suspect that this custom was very likely invented by someone’s enemy, with the purpose of using it to take revenge.
While we were talking, Old Dao pulled me, and I took Ji Xinglan with us; we left the hall together to join Luo Tianhe in the wedding chamber.
Ji Xinglan quickly put the booklet into her sleeve; this booklet is of utmost importance; no matter what happens, this booklet absolutely cannot be lost.
We were fairly smooth sailing along the way; just following the main group was enough.
Because I was worried about problems, I walked very fast; in about two minutes I ran into Lin Da.
“Master Lin, are you also going to make a ruckus at the wedding chamber? That’s right, this is Master Lin’s duty after all! Do a good job! Our son-in-law will thank you!”
After seeing me, Lin Da first exchanged pleasantries with me for a couple of sentences, then patted my shoulder and said some inexplicable things.
I was about to ask Lin Da if he wanted to go with us, but Lin Da shook his head, saying he had more important things to do and told us to hurry up and go.
Without thinking too much, I took Ji Xinglan and them to Luo Tianhe’s wedding chamber.
It’s true, this wedding chamber is far more magnificent and imposing than the small woodshed we saw before.
That small side room was so shabby; besides a bed and a table, there was nothing of value.
But this new house, just looking at it from the outside, is the kind that only a wealthy family would have.
The door is wide open, and you can see that the inside is really well decorated.
All the necessary furniture is there; the whole room exudes a strange festive atmosphere.
And now I’m constantly recalling what Lin Da said just now.
What does it mean that I have my own duty?
“Uncle Chen, is your relationship with the groom particularly, particularly good?”
Ji Xinglan suddenly asked, and when she mentioned the relationship, she repeated the word “particularly” twice.
I said that’s natural, we’re sworn brothers.
Ji Xinglan nodded slightly and said, “No wonder.”
I quickly asked Ji Xinglan what she meant, and Ji Xinglan began to explain to me: “Brother Chen, it’s very possible that your duty is to protect the groom!”
After Ji Xinglan finished speaking, I furrowed my brows slightly, and my thoughts quickly cleared.
“Do you mean that some of the groom’s enemies might infiltrate today’s wedding banquet and use this opportunity to kill the groom?”
I understood what Ji Xinglan said and immediately felt frightened.
If that’s the case, then it’s too outrageous.
“That’s right, from the content of this booklet and what Uncle Dao said, I feel this is the closest thing to the truth!”
Ji Xinglan also nodded seriously with a stern expression.
As for the two girls behind Ji Xinglan, they didn’t say anything; they’re learning to be quite well-behaved now, only knowing to follow us.
“Old Dao and Ant, when we go in later, we must observe carefully; if anyone really attacks Old Luo, we must protect Old Luo!”
I turned around and gave instructions to Old Dao and Ant.
I’ve been calculating Ji Xinglan’s words in my mind, and the more I think about it, the more reasonable it seems.
The booklet also implies it clearly: just follow your heart! What is the heart? It is to protect Luo Tianhe!
“Don’t worry, Brother Chen, you can trust us two; besides, this matter itself concerns Brother Luo!”
Ant and Old Dao patted their chests, assuring me.
In this way, the few of us quickly arrived at the groom’s room. Just as we expected, the groom hadn’t lifted the bridal veil yet, and several people had already carried the groom to the bed.
I don’t know which unlucky thing, directly pulled out a hemp rope from his waist.
Several people took turns tying Luo Tianhe to the bed.
Two more guests took out brooms from the corner.
I saw this posture and felt something was wrong; this tmd is not a wedding celebration at all; this is simply going to beat someone to death.
That broomstick is at least as thick as my forearm; if it were swung and hit the head, Luo Tianhe’s head could be smashed.
Old Luo kept shouting for help, I don’t know if it was giggles or something else.
“Wait! Uncle, this thing has been updated!” Just as I was about to go up, Ji Xinglan spoke again, stopping me and telling me that the thing had new content.
I quickly stopped, looked back at Ji Xinglan, and Ji Xinglan began to explain the contents.
“It says we need the groom’s tears; only by getting the groom’s tears do we have a glimmer of hope! The font is orange this time!”
Ji Xinglan opened the small booklet and read the contents to me and Old Dao.
After I heard it, I fell silent; we need the groom’s tears?
Are these tears from being beaten, or from the groom remembering something sad?
“Brother Chen, do we need to go up and make Brother Luo cry, and then find a way to rescue him after he cries?”
Old Dao’s brain is always the fastest; after hearing this, he quickly leaned into my ear and asked me.
I twitched my mouth; this boy is really daring to think; if we beat Luo Tianhe until he cries, if we have restraint it’s fine, but if not, we might really beat him to death.
“Forget it, let’s go up and beat him too; anyway, the three of us are sworn brothers with Old Luo!”
I saw those people running to the front to beat him one by one. I gritted my teeth and decided to join them.
At least brothers beating each other will have restraint.
Before I got there, a guest started to beat him.
He held a feather duster and directly used the thin stick to whip Luo Tianhe’s arm; Luo Tianhe winced in pain.
Even from far away, I could feel the great pain.
Old Dao, Ant, and I exchanged glances and each picked up tools, went to Luo Tianhe’s side, and started to beat him.
And at that moment, Luo Tianhe squeezed out a few tears.
Then he burst into tears.
I originally wanted to stop beating him, but then I remembered the consistent principle here.
Here, as long as something extra is left behind, you must find a way to put it in your pocket.
I quickly told Old Dao to take out a small bottle, and I carefully put these tears into the bottle.
