A large yellow weasel suddenly appeared, making everyone tense.
However, this weasel suddenly stood up.
It spoke human words, emitting the hoarse voice of an old woman.
It invited everyone to enter the dark mountain cave to enjoy fine wine and delicacies.
This caused all of us, the wedding procession, to show expressions of horror.
Several villagers were even trembling with fear, their teeth chattering.
Let alone entering the cave for fine wine and delicacies.
If they had to stay a moment longer, they would be scared to death.
Only I remained calm, wanting to go in and see for myself.
The village chief, who was leading the group, though not seeing this old yellow weasel for the first time,
Was also sweating profusely at this moment.
He repeatedly waved his hands, saying:
"No, no, thank you, old immortal.
We hope that after the marriage alliance, you will bless our village.
We shall not disturb your abode.
And partake in your wine..."
As soon as Village Chief Third Grandpa finished speaking,
Uncle Two, Aunt Four, Uncle Five, and others all nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, yes!"
"We won't drink, we won't drink!"
"..."
As they spoke, several villagers standing beside me had already retreated in fear.
In contrast, Uncle Six, who had been crying, found it amusing at this moment:
"Hee hee hee! The kitty can talk, the kitty can talk..."
Uncle Six gesticulated excitedly.
He even ran towards the weasel.
But he lost his footing and fell face-first into the dirt.
His mouth filled with rotten leaves.
In pain, Uncle Six began to wail loudly.
"Wuwuwu, I don't want to play anymore, I want to go home, go home..."
Uncle Six cried, kicking at the leaves under his feet.
The weasel at the cave entrance saw this and instantly narrowed its eyes.
At the same time, it spoke in a deep voice:
"Qin San, is this the man you've sent for the marriage alliance?"
Third Grandpa, upon being addressed, responded with a stutter:
"Yes, yes, old immortal.
This Qin Shithead is the best candidate from our village.
He is strong and unmarried..."
The old yellow weasel was clearly displeased, its fangs already showing.
At the same time, it spoke in a deep voice:
"Hmph!
This is clearly a fool.
No, this old one will change people.
A new groom.
Today is an auspicious day.
I shall pick one among you to marry my daughter!"
Upon hearing this, our entire group,
Except for me, turned pale with terror, their faces filled with dread.
"Old, old immortal.
All of us here are, are already married.
No, we don't meet the requirements!"
Village Chief Third Grandpa continued to speak.
But the yellow weasel said coldly:
"If you don't meet the requirements, then tonight.
I will kill one of you.
I will kill until your village meets the requirements."
As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings suddenly erupted with "zizi zizi" and "sisisi" sounds.
Immediately, one yellow weasel after another emerged from the mountain cave.
These weasels were numerous, at least thirty to forty.
They were very fast and in an instant, they surrounded us.
These weasels were not large, but each one bared its teeth at us, revealing ferocious expressions.
They seemed ready to attack us at any moment.
Everyone present was so terrified that they dared not move.
The talking old yellow weasel then spoke again in a cold voice:
"So, who shall I kill first? You, perhaps!"
As it spoke, I could see a more potent demonic energy emanating from its body.
That oppressive aura enveloped us,
Making everyone present extremely uncomfortable.
It felt difficult to breathe.
Furthermore, it now raised a claw and pointed at my Uncle Two.
Uncle Two, seeing this, turned ashen with fear.
He immediately sat down on the ground.
But he quickly waved his hands, saying:
"No, no, no, old immortal, don't kill me.
If you must kill, then kill, then kill, then kill my sister!"
After speaking, Uncle Two pulled his own sister, my Aunt Four, in front of him.
Aunt Four was numb with fear.
"No, no, don't kill me, don't kill me.
Kill my brother, kill my brother..."
After speaking, she pointed at Uncle Five beside her.
I looked at these three elder relatives by marriage, speechless.
They were siblings.
At the brink of death, instead of thinking of a solution, they tried to push each other into danger.
The other villagers were also terrified, fearing for their lives.
They began to retreat gradually.
But surrounded by a pack of yellow weasels, they could not escape.
Only Village Chief Third Grandpa was trying to plead.
Hoping the old yellow weasel would show mercy and the like.
He even mentioned offering sacrifices annually.
But the old yellow weasel.
Did not listen at all, adopting an attitude of being determined to kill someone tonight.
Seeing this, I smiled faintly.
First, I crouched down and said a few words to Uncle Six:
"Uncle Six, let's not cause trouble.
After we go back, we can have tanghulu."
Upon hearing my voice, Uncle Six pursed his lips and nodded repeatedly.
Then, I took two steps forward and said to the smiling yet not-smiling old yellow weasel:
"I am unmarried. How do I seem to you?"
My voice was loud and my tone was calm.
My face was also adorned with a faint smile.
Everyone around me, seeing me speak like this,
And even step out from the crowd, widened their eyes in surprise.
A kind elder villager even reminded me:
"Ze Wa, this is appeasing the old immortal. If you go, you won't return."
But I smiled at him:
"It's alright!"
From the moment this old yellow weasel appeared, I had been observing it.
Through the aura emanating from its body, I judged its cultivation.
It didn't feel very strong, and I should be able to handle it.
These surrounding small yellow weasels were just ordinary beasts, which I didn't even bother to look at.
Therefore, I dared to be so bold at this moment.
I planned to protect everyone first, pacify the old yellow weasel,
Then get closer to probe its strength, and finally catch them all in one sweep.
To exterminate these malevolent demons in the mountains.
So that they would not harass our village in the future...
Just as everyone was staring at me with suspicion,
The old yellow weasel also looked at me.
It sized me up:
"Not bad, not bad, this young man is quite handsome.
He can be matched with my daughter.
Since you've volunteered, it will be you!
However, these three people have black hearts.
Take them back to my cave.
Later, I will dig out their hearts and eat them roasted..."
