Chapter 57 Wedding

Feeling like their talk is not nonsense enough, Lucis and Shuzan went to Muzin mountain and bother him. Sure enough, Muzin is one of the best when it comes to bragging. They set up a round table and complete it with a set of alcohol and meat then each of them talk about how good they are. Enough of them, let's move on.

At the village center, the ground completely wet and muddy with all the people bustling about for the wedding wearing their best looking clothes and accessories.

The wedding is very simple and it's on public for all the villager gather and wish the bride for a long lasting happiness and have a lot of children. Some bringing their hen as a gift, some gift their treasure and some went empty handed.

For those that bringing gift, this is the time for them to show off in front of everyone.

Everything went normal except there's two bride, of course this is not normal even in this village. Usually, the second bride will have their wedding sometimes later not at the same time with the main wife.

Tradition aside, everyone just went with the flow though gossip here and there can't be avoided.

"Why I never thought about this before?" Boris frown as he look at the two bride beside Along. Along look so happy as he nod at every villagers that came to him wishing for his happiness, he feel like a king at the moment when everyone attention is on him.

"what, you wife allowed you to have a second one?" Wudie asked. He feel like his heart being sliced into pieces at every gift Along receive from the villagers.

"you brat, why ask something you already know. Hump!" Boris snort feeling annoyed by Wudie. Wudie has been following him this couple of days spouting about not allowing the new resident to marry his daughter.

"look at that. Look at that!" Boris said with very annoyed tone pointing at Lumin that standing in front of Along with very generous gift, his ancestor set of tea pot.

"wow, he insisted that he won't sell that thing no matter how desperate he is before, but now.." an elder standing beside Boris shake his head.

"he's been bought. Hump!" Another one elder popped out adding some seasoning with Boris.

"Why are you guys like that? Did Arong family did something that you guys don't like or what?" Elder Dun appear. He's been listening to their conversation even if doesn't want to since he's standing with the elderly group. He want to move away but it would be embarrassing to join the younger crowd considering his age.

"no, never. It's just my instincts to mock the weak." Boris said in mocking tone as he cross his arm flexing his muscle.

"Greeting to uncle and elders." a young man suddenly appear followed by some handsome and pretty youngster behind him and greet the heroic elderly group. He really look like a proper warrior instead of just hunter with his tough looking body and some scar that clearly comes from sword cut. His name is Nanji, one of the people that migrate from Murky town after the recent conflict.

"Greeting elders!" Laijin join with his greeting. His voice is so loud like he's worried that people can't hear him. Except for the running around kids, almost everyone looking at him with surprised. why is this kid yelling for no reason? they thought. his greet doesn't sound like a greeting.

"aah, the village have more young man now. Have you guys bless the wedding yet?" elder Dun asked with proud expression. He look at all the young man and woman in front of him and finally landed his gaze at Konan that almost impossible to missed among the crowd with his dazzling and handsome appearance.

"we already done it when we arrived earlier." Nanji said, he look like the leader of the youth with his heroic appearance. In fact he is, Laijin even spar with him and lose.

"good, good, let's make this as lively as we can, it will be you youngster turn later ha ha ha." Elder dun said as he stroke his sparse beard. The more younger people in the village the better it is for him, the village need a lot of man power to cultivate the surrounding land and improving the village. With the wedding, elder Dun now can tie them down in this village.

Wudie was glaring dagger at all the handsome man in front of him. Only Wudie standing in the elderly group instead of the youth even with his young age.

As the two groups merge together, the sounds of the crowd getting lively than the mother's team that usually have a loud mouth.

Soon all the blessing ceremony come to an end and the feast began. The kids especially the loudest at this moment and stand at the front line like a brave soldier and their leader is Sukong of course, he's the toughest kid in the hood at this moment.

"It seems like there's some people that hasn't come and give their blessings yet?" Laijin said casually but his voice really loud. The mother's group ear especially sensitive at this, it smell like gossip indeed.

"is it? I didn't notice."

"now that he said it.."

"is it Kunan?" A middle age women asked then the rest of the gang look around.

"yeah, I don't see anyone from Kunan house." they nod with agreement.

"he's taking care of his wife, Yidi sickness is acting up again." Auntie Lily said loudly.

"what about Yina? She should be able to come right?" one of the young mother asked. She just curious actually and doesn't have any bad intention, Yina is one of the young girl she can related with her similar family problem.

"the kids here, that should be enough right?" grandma Du retort, she take the question the wrong way as if the young mother trying to put a blame on Kunan house.

When Laijin heard that, his expression quickly turn sour. Everything is smooth when he tried to approach Yina previously and even Kunan didn't say anything, in fact Kunan even nod in agreement but just after a couple day later, it suddenly seems like their house turn cold towards him. Except for formality, they didn't show any signs of accepting his attention.

"what about that big mansion? I don't see anyone coming from there." Konan asked with a bit of mocking in his voice.

The mother's crowd all look at Sukong direction while the youth nod with agreement as they look around completely disregard Sukong existence among them.

Konan was baffled, the usually loud mouth mother's group just went completely quiet, only some of the elderly men said something with light agreement and look around while most of them just look at Konan expecting some drama. They knew about how Konan doesn't like Lucis, his face always look bitter whenever Lucis name came up.

"well, I heard that this Lucis guy doesn't approve this wedding." Laijin added the spice quickly while the attention still hot.

"is it?"

"i remember someone saying that elder moon granddaughter supposed to be married with this man previously, maybe that's why.."

The youth group nod with agreement while Kuji went completely quiet as she stand among them.

"there's that scar women beside him right? What's more did he want by acting like this? It's shameful." another dude said with complete displeased on his face. Whoever this Lucis is, he shouldn't act like that. This is small village after all, they're all living in this one village so they should be nice at each other.

"you mean Suyi? Her younger brother is here, isn't that enough?" auntie Lily asked. She really fond of the two brothers as her loyal fan of her story session.

Nanji frown and look at how the gang behind him acting unpleasant like they even know the person they're talking about in the first place. He's been a servant of some small clan previously and learn the meaning of "never judge a person by their appearance." What the group behind him did is so childish compare to his fellow brothers in the clan.

Sukong heard their talk and feel a bit displeased by what they said. He really want to brag about Lucis in front of them if not because how Suyi remind him not to talk about Lucis to other people.

Just as Along came around about to join the crowd, he suddenly frown when he heard the people talking about Lucis. He already forgotten about him but the gossip remind him back at the unpleasant person in his wedding.

"Along! Congratulations on your wedding." Boris shout and shift everyone attention to Along. Wudie face turn unsightly at the name mentioned by Boris.

Everyone quickly came and congratulated him happily except Wudie, he already wish them earlier on the altar and he doesn't want to do it anymore.
