Chapter 196 Matchmaker
————————————————————————————————————————
(Add a loyal paragraph to tell you that you are not in the wrong place, Jie Jie Jie)
At night, the airport is brightly lit, and the clean and spacious departure hall has been transformed into a commercial street under the local government's strategic policy of promoting the economy, including the city's only super casino and the latest and most comprehensive luxury stores.
This kind of business move makes some wealthy people who are obsessed with gambling not mind buying a plane ticket as an "admission ticket" and then going into the commercial street to spend money.
Li Anjun is sitting in the waiting seat. On the left is a beautiful young woman who is checking her makeup with a small mirror. On the right is a pile of food waste. On the right is a greasy-mouthed uncle who is tasting the delicacies of the shopping street.
The aroma of various foods wafts freely in the terminal on the ground floor, constantly stimulating people's taste buds.
Li Anjun's mind is not here at all. He wants to return to the temple where he was born to pray to the ancient god of marriage.
This is a traditional ceremony in this country. Since they rebelled against the human empire that only exploited them hundreds of years ago, great gods have descended to the world to bring people the best marriages, which are better than the so-called emperors. too much.
On everyone's eighteenth birthday, they must come to their local temple to pray to the God of Marriage.
They will fall into a trance that night and fall into wonderful dreams.
The great god will transform into a graceful beauty with the head of a human and the body of a snake, wearing bright red festive clothes, holding a red ribbon, entwining the two destined people together, and throwing the newlywed couple from the palace in the sky. To the human world.
The colorful clouds will gently support them and take the two newlyweds to their destined place, which is near their homes.
After waking up, the two must go to the destined place and become partners.
People affectionately call her the matchmaker.
This is a marriage ordained by God, and those who abide by this will have a bright future, and they will live together happily, at least that's what all the old people say.
And for those who dare to disobey the rules set by God, they will fall into a nightmare that night.
An old man, naked, with a long and stiff beard, dragged on the ground, making a sound like steel wool brushing against an iron pot. The pattern of the ancient moon is carved on his naked flesh. His broad and thick shoulders carry hard steel bars and rush towards the person in the dream, tying the unfortunate person and the person he hates the most with the steel bars. They will enter an eternal nightmare.
When you wake up the next day, you will experience various accidents and meet the sinful partner in your dream.
There was a crazy person who refused to partner with that ugly person, but the next day, he turned into a bloody statue of flesh and blood, squirming in the bed.
People called this god who brought nightmares the Moon Man and stayed away from him.
Li Anjun waited quietly. He was about to go home, to the place where he was born and raised, and meet his destined person.
He was a little uneasy, his left leg kept shaking, and there was a slight sweat on his face.
I have worked hard in the city for many years and have not saved much money. I wonder if I will be unhappy in the future.
He doesn't care what his life is like, and he also believes that the great god will bring the most suitable girl to him, but he is afraid that he is not capable enough, he is afraid that he has failed the god and the girl, and he is afraid that he will live with his wife. Hard days.
Li Anjun turned to look at the bustling commercial street again, considering whether to spend more money and buy some gifts. It seemed impolite to leave empty-handed.
He touched his shriveled wallet, and the courage he summoned shriveled up again.
Money makes a hero brave.
In what all the "experts" call the best era ever, not having money is a sin.
Li Anjun gave up the idea of buying things and went home to take a look. The prices in his hometown were cheaper.
My family grows fruit trees, and now is the season of flowering and fruiting. If you are lucky, you may be able to catch the blooming season of the Xuecui fruit tree. It would be great to pick a few flowers to meet your future wife.
"The flight to Jinyue District is about to take off, please hurry up and board the flight."
The lady next to her stood up at the same time as Li Anjun. The lady glanced at Li Anjun, a poor boy?
It's from the countryside.
Li Anjun deliberately paused for half a second to let the lady go first.
Is she really a lady? Li Anjun thought for a while, will the lady wait in the economy class waiting area with me? He should be a moonlight clan who pursues quality of life.
Li Anjun got stuck in the luggage of an old man walking by and got further away from the lady.
Boring queues, noisy queues, it seems like everyone is rushing forward in this world of overflowing desires.
The young man in the front is wearing a vest, revealing his 3D tattoo.
It should be a snow mountain leopard, Li Anjun thought. It looks really good, but I don’t know if it hurts to carve flesh and blood.
Standing next to the young man was a lady with colorfully dyed hair. When she walked around, strands of hair of various colors intertwined and danced like sparkling water under the sun.
Li Anjun no longer looked at the two people in the front row, but turned his head and looked up.
All the economy class passengers were queuing up below, and in the aisle on the second floor were the first class VIPs.
Some people will not show up, but more arrogant bosses will show off their wealth domineeringly, and enter the plane first while bearing the envious and jealous eyes of those waiting in line below.
I heard that there was a super rich man who once passed by and threw down the gold bars so hard that he smashed the heads of several people.
I don’t know if there are any today.
Li Anjun thought like this, gritting his teeth and being hit, he could accept it.
Going to see your future wife with a head full of bandages is a bit unsightly, but having bandages studded with diamonds is very domineering.
The first big boss came out. He was a wealthy businessman dressed in gold. He looked like a businessman at first glance.
Everyone turned their heads to look, their eyes blinded by the golden light.
When Li Anjun cast his expectant eyes upward again, the wealthy businessman had already reached the boarding gate.
The stewardess stood at the door of the plane, smiled obsequiously and bowed, revealing her career line.
Li Anjun can't see it, even when he jumps, he can't see it.
The second boss has already appeared, walking confidently as if on a catwalk, shaking some unknown decorations on his body.
He is an artist who is regarded by the upper class as "the man who is a thousand years ahead of the world."
Li Anjun looked at the huge decoration on his head and inexplicably thought of his own bag containing takeaway garbage.
It's kind of like, you can't laugh, he's a down-to-earth artist.
A lady and a domineering man passed by behind. They were both top figures in society, and they didn't mind letting poor people see the wealth they couldn't earn in three thousand years.
Li Anjun stopped looking up. There were no rich people throwing away gold today. Their radiance has nothing to do with me.
He felt excited again, he was going to meet his future wife tomorrow, so stay in good shape.
There was a commotion in the front, and the check-in for economy class tickets began.
Since the departure of that evil empire, our world has prospered and developed, rushing from the Steam Age to the Information Age.
It is said that the most powerful scientists are already working on intelligent robots. In the future, these flight attendants who check tickets will no longer be needed.
It was Li Anjun's turn. In front of him was an old and shabby staff member, an old woman with an impatient expression, her whole body wrapped tightly. She glanced at Li Anjun's ticket indifferently, and put a stamp on the square ticket. Kong, let him pass.
The seats in the economy class are very compact, sardine can style. In order to squeeze more passengers into the small area, the height here is only 1.8 meters. Li Anjun, who is 1.75 meters tall, barely has to bend down.
Unfortunately, looking for a new haircut at the barber shop has now turned Li Anjun's head into a broom, sweeping the dust off the "ceiling" and covering his hair.
It's not about hygiene either.
Li Anjun thought this way, the plane is really dirty, it depends on the next passenger to clean up the garbage left by the previous passengers.
Forget it, it's cheap.
Li Anjun bent down and sat down, hugging his backpack, ignoring the people next to him, and fell asleep deeply.
The old lady finished checking the tickets, threw the punch machine into the cloth bag hanging on the side, and Shi Shiran got on the plane.
She was so unlucky that no rich man fell in love with her when she was young.
The great gods help couples get married, but they have never prohibited extramarital affairs. Why can't good things happen to me?
Come back home.
The elderly staff member closed the cabin and sat down at the door. She was not a stewardess, she just shamelessly took the plane home.
The first officer received the signal that all personnel were on board, turned on the intercom and asked the tower.
"Tower, Tower, this is Airplane No. 2349. Is it okay to take off?"
"No, it's raining." A mechanical sound came from the tower. I don't know if it was the new intelligent AI.
"Okay, Captain, don't hesitate, take off."
Li Anjun had just fallen asleep when a strong pushing sensation came on his back, and the plane soared into the sky.
“Hello fellow passengers, I am the captain. The estimated arrival time of this flight is 7:30 am in Jinyue Zone. My personal estimate is 6:30 am. Please rest assured that being on time means being late. Being early is our service standard. , I wish you all a happy journey."
Li Anjun felt a little uncomfortable. The surrounding air was a little turbid and the population density was too high.
He held it in for five hours because to go to the toilet here, he might have to pass hundreds of people's seats. It was too troublesome and no one would want to go.
Everyone can choose to pay for lunch, it’s just kind of gross.
An uncle next to him carelessly pressed a few buttons on the armrest of his chair, then stuffed money into the money hole on the armrest, and the lunch facility started operating.
The mat under your butt gets very hot, and economy class won’t give you a mat with good insulation properties.
Not long after, a lunch was heated under the chair. It was just like self-heating rice, fast and delicious.
The uncle opened his legs, took out his lunch with difficulty, and ate it in big mouthfuls. It contained cheap beans and strange sauces, and was paired with some pickles. The main purpose was that it could be stored for a long time.
The uncle ate a bunch of food in the lunch box and stuffed it back into the facility under his butt.
The facilities in his seat were working again, this time they were probably washing the lunch boxes with hot water. In short, the uncle's butt was vibrating and the chair was very hot.
How did Li Anjun know?
Not long after, the uncle started farting. The farts were vibrating after being heated by the chair.
Eating beans is a challenge for people with poor gastrointestinal problems and a torture for others.
Li Anjun did not hold back and spent five hours exhausted.
When he got off the plane, his whole body was "influenced" by holding back urine and the stench, his steps were sluggish, and his head was dizzy.
After using the toilet, which he queued for ten minutes, he washed his face, and then bought a bus ticket to the town. It was another three hours of bumpy ride, but it was better than on the plane. The windows on the bus could be opened for ventilation.
Later, he transferred to a bus, and then a tractor from a fellow villager.
This fellow is an old acquaintance. Every time Li Anjun comes and goes, he always rides in his car.
The fellow man towed his own idle tricycle behind the tractor so that it would be more comfortable and not vibrate with the tractor.
Li Anjun looked at each other and a dull man next to him. There were only two of us, so why should we be restrained?
The two of them "sleeped" directly in the bed of the car, pretending it was a convertible with a panoramic sunroof.
At this moment, both of them relaxed.
"Brother, are you going to the temple?"
"Yes."
"Today or tomorrow?"
"tonight."
"Should we go home first or go to the temple first?"
"temple."
"Yes, we both have to go to the temple at night."
"I am Li Anjun from the east end of the village. My house is just across the street from the temple."
"Wang Fugui, the west end of the village, Wang Guifu's son."
.......
The two of them were chatting, and the light around them gradually faded. The sun has finished its work for the day. The countryside is not as bright as the city, and the simple land is scattered with simple firelights.
Oh, firewood used by humans for thousands of years is still bringing us warmth.
Li Anjun was still lying in the carriage. He stared at the majestic space station in the sky, which symbolized the power of mankind and was heading towards the starry sky. The surrounding stars seemed to have been stepped on by humans.
Li Anjun raised his hand as if he could catch the stars.
The huge space station is not only a research laboratory, but also a shipyard. People want to build the defenses of the Earth's star ring and galaxy belt, and build a space fleet to compete with the evil empire he has never seen before.
Li Anjun has only seen the human empire in history books.
A crescent moon rose, and the dull man spoke for the first time, "We're about to get home."
Although the words were still concise, the overflowing joy still touched Li Anjun's heart.
Yes, we're home.
Suddenly, Li Anjun sat up straight and stared at the sky.
"Fellow, look at the sky!"
Where the crescent moon shines, a majestic warship sailed past from low-Earth orbit, like a hammer, passing by the crescent moon.
"Battleship, it's a battleship, am I the first one to see it? I'm the first one!"
Li Anjun danced on the car and almost fell off.
Soon, the majestic warship sailed past and gradually disappeared into the eastern sky, which was illuminated by the bustling city lights. When night fell, all you could see when you looked up was the ambiguous orange sky.
After a small interlude, the two of them soon entered their hometown village.
At the entrance of the temple, the parents of the two families were looking anxiously into the distance, holding tightly wrapped red envelopes in their hands.
The urchin who had been wandering at the entrance of the village for a long time saw a familiar tractor returning with two wanderers, running towards the temple with a smile.
"Empress, brother Anjun and Fugui are back!"
"Okay, okay, okay." The respected old man was even more nervous than Li Anjun's mother. At this time, he finally relaxed and said three good words in a row.
The men of the family distributed candies to the children who came to report the news, and then hurriedly went to greet the dusty children.
The mother and the old man were still standing at the door of the temple and began to prepare for the ceremony.
The two of them were surrounded by each other when they came back. Li Anjun took out a few candies bought in the city from his pocket and distributed them to the children. This was a taste that children in small towns had never tasted.
Wang Fugui took out the nuts he bought at the bus station, which are also rare in the village.
The two families had already discussed it, and it was still early, so Li Anjun could enter the temple first.
Li Anjun, who had traveled day and night, had no time to stop and entered the temple surrounded by villagers.
The temple is very grandly decorated, with noble purple and ambiguous pink intertwined. In the middle is a statue of the great matchmaker god, and on the side are statues of gods in charge of wealth, luck, etc.
The ground has long been filled with props used in the ceremony, and the ceremony can only be completed by Li Anjun alone.
Li Anjun picked up the only lit candle and held it to his heart for six seconds, which represented the fire in his heart. Then he bowed devoutly to each god and lit the candles in front of their statues.
You cannot choose a god to worship, you have to worship when you pass by.
After worshiping in a circle, Li Anjun knelt in front of the holy statue, silently recited the words carved on the stone slab, and then pressed his hands on the stone slab.
After a long time, there was no response, indicating that Li Anjun mispronounced the word.
Li Anjun stood up again, lit a circle of candles for each god, and then knelt down to recite the incantation again.
This time, he succeeded. A small pattern spread from the stone slab to his hand, and the ceremony was completed.
Li Anjun walked out of the temple, and the family was finally reunited. They could talk to each other and talk about their family's quarrels.
Wang Fugui went in, but Li Anjun was dragged towards home without waiting for him.
Li Anjun looked at the sky. The majestic battleships still shocked his heart. There were shooting stars in the sky. He closed his eyes, clasped his hands together, and wished my earth star a prosperous life.
That night, Li Anjun had a good sleep. The continuous bumps on the road had already made him exhausted, and he fell into a deep sleep as soon as the bed board touched the bed.
A girl walked into his dream, dignified and gentle. The matchmaker wrapped her in beautiful silk and walked slowly towards Li Anjun.
Li Anjun found that he was naked, wearing nothing. He was a little shy and covered his vitals with his hands.
By the gods, the matchmaker's magical power made him unable to move, the red silk fell off, and the other party was also naked.
The aloof matchmaker entangled the two of them gently and tightly.
Li Anjun's brain was in a down state at this time. It was too exciting. In the past, he must have fainted from excessive blood loss due to nosebleeds.
The red silk was wrapped around and around, and Li Anjun's parents' instructions suddenly came to his mind. He tried his best to clear his mind and count the number of laps in the silk.
71 laps, she and I will spend seventy-one years together, okay, praise the matchmaker.
The god with the head of a human and the body of a snake gently pushed the two wrapped men. The majestic sky became smaller and smaller in Li Anjun's field of vision, and a feeling of weightlessness came from the void.
The legendary colorful clouds did not arrive. Below was the square in the south of the village. The two of them fell straight towards the old tree at the entrance of the village.
too close? It's right at your feet, so you don't need Caiyun?
Li Anjun was a little confused, but a warning from his arms made his whole body soften.
He turned around hard and wanted to say thank you to the matchmaker, but when he looked towards the sky, he saw that the matchmaker was twisting her body in pain, with snake scales and black tentacles sprouting from her body, trembling crazily.
Li Anjun woke up and didn't know what to say. Is this different from the legend? Something was wrong in the end. Could it be that there was something wrong with my marriage?
He hurriedly put on his clothes and wanted to see the situation, but there was an emergency at the door.
The old village chief banged the gong heirloomed in his family vigorously. He dragged his old body and staggered along the winding stone road in the village, shouting at the top of his voice, "The evil empire is coming, the evil empire is coming!"
Li Anjun was at a loss and stood there blankly. His old father slapped him hard behind him and said, "Hurry up and move the things to the cellar. Let's hide in the cellar!"
Just as Li Anjun was about to move the food, his father grabbed him again.
"No, you have seen your wife, right? Where can we meet? Are we close?"
"It's under the old tree at the south entrance of the village."
"Okay, you go and pick up your daughter-in-law first. Whose daughter is she?... No matter, you go and pick her up first and leave a seed for our old Li family."
"Dad~"
"Don't be ridiculous, go quickly."
Li Anjun ran towards the village entrance with all his strength, but there was no one under the old tree.
?
Maybe they haven't come yet.
The invasion of the evil empire left everyone at a loss, a kind of busyness that didn't know what they should do.
Not long after Li Anjun stood, a huge explosion came from behind him, and the violent shock wave blew him down. Broken bricks and tiles fell to the ground everywhere. In desperation, Li Anjun could only hold his head and let his body be crushed. The shock wave blew and rolled on the ground several times.
"Bang~" A huge head fell to the ground, missing him by just a few centimeters.
The frightened young man opened his eyes and saw the matchmaker's eyes staring closely at him.
The icon's head was blown here.
Li Anjun was so frightened that he lost his mind and collapsed on the ground.
Before Li Anjun could calm down, a faint light emitted from the head of the holy statue, and the dark purple shadow flashed away, heading straight into Li Anjun's eyes.
In the inner lake, Li Anjun looked around at a loss. Chaos, disorder, gold coins and food, swords and water splashes, countless unrelated things were spinning rapidly in the air.
"Li Anjun!"
He turned around and saw his wife, who was naked in the dream, walking towards him.
"I...I don't know your name yet." Li Anjun was a little ashamed. This was too rude.
By some strange coincidence, he squeezed his hand hard in the air and actually held a snow-green flower. His mind finally settled down.
"For you, my wife...my%#$#matchmaker?"
At this moment, the creature in front of him was none other than the Matchmaker God who glanced back at him in his dream and was constantly struggling above the heavenly palace!
