Ten days later, on an auspicious day, the welcoming team went to the door with gongs and drums. Zhou Xia was taken by the servant to change into the bride''s red robe and put on a red cap for her.
But when the servants tried to push her out, she refused to go out. Zhou''s mother had to persuade her again and again in her ear that it was for her good. The other party was a rich family who knew Beicheng, and the men of the other party''s family admired Zhou Xia for a long time. After she married, she only had to be a rich wife. She didn''t have to do anything. Her mother-in-law would not make her angry
Zhou''s mother talked a lot, but Zhou Xia was expressionless and didn''t know if she listened. Suddenly, she struggled to go to the inner room. Zhou''s mother let the servants loose their hands to see what she was going to do.
But Zhou Xia ran into his bedroom and came out with two long swords.
This is the sword that her father bought for her. At the same time, it is also the sword that the God once stuffed back into her hand.
Looking at her daughter holding a pair of swords tightly in her arms and nodding, she seemed to say that it was OK to have this. Mother Zhou burst into tears. It seemed that this was her daughter''s last thought.
Although there is no precedent for the bride to marry with a sword and it doesn''t seem to be in line with the rules, Zhou''s mother can''t refuse her daughter''s last little request.
Finally, with the permission of Zhou''s mother, Zhou Xia wore a red cap and a red wedding dress depicting dragons and embroidered Phoenix, held the double swords in her arms and sat in the wedding sedan.
She has even lost the basic common sense of the human race. When her mother asked her to go, she went. As for what mother Zhou told her, she didn''t quite understand.
In Zhou Xia''s consciousness, the whole world seemed to be separated from her. Everything outside the membrane was vague. It was difficult for the voice and meaning of people outside to spread into her consciousness.
In the past, she chose to commit suicide in order to resist the lifestyle she regarded as inferior to pigs and dogs. Now, however, she doesn''t know that she is being pushed onto a very similar path by her biological parents.
Zhou Xia has worked hard all her life to get freedom. This life is very short, but it is also her little life so far. In order to live freely, she learned a lot of knowledge and practiced martial arts and sword. No matter how hard and tired she was, she also gritted her teeth to survive.
Also, in the end, before she died, she went to Jingguo so far to seek Tao, just to become a real strong man, ignore all the prejudices and constraints in the world and live the life she wanted.
Unfortunately, her parents didn''t know what she had thought, and they really thought for her out of their hearts, so they helped her choose this way.
No one is right or wrong, maybe it''s just a matter of concept.
Outside the sedan chair, the sound of blowing and beating sounded. Someone raised the sedan chair. Her body swayed with the sedan chair, and then moved forward.
Her head was covered under the red cover and she couldn''t see anything. She just felt at a loss. Everything was strange without her parents.
Zhou Xia could only hold her sword tightly, as if it was her only and last dependence.
The sedan chair swayed for a long time. It climbed the slope, crossed the bridge, walked in the streets and alleys, and sometimes stopped to have a rest. Finally, after a long journey, the sedan chair and the people outside finally stopped.
Zhou Xia heard many strange voices, and another man shouted:
"Somebody help the bride out!"
The car door opened.
Zhou Xia made a subconscious move at that moment.
She quickly hid a pair of swords in her generous red wedding dress.
Then someone helped her out of the sedan chair from the front door.
"The bride enters the lobby!"
The man shouted again.
Zhou Xia was dragged forward.
She still couldn''t see anything. There was only red in front of her, but listening to the voices of strangers around her, her heart slowly became clear.
"Where am I... What am I... Doing?" Zhou Xia thought, "by the way... Mom and Dad, married me... I''m... Getting married..."
The words once said by her mother circulated in Zhou Xia''s heart, marriage, having children, taking care of children, rich wives, safe days, and her mother-in-law won''t bully... Many gathered in her heart bit by bit, impacted her heart, and finally gathered into a painful force.
Zhou Xia stopped and didn''t go any further.
The people pushing her around were impatient and dragged hard, "go!"
The man''s behavior was very rough, and Zhou Xia was dragged staggering.
She felt that she was so weak.
So we should follow the instructions of so many people, live a life we don''t want to live, and enter the trap that everyone has entered since ancient times.
Everyone smiled grimly and said to her, obey.
Listen to your father, your husband, your superiors, and your kings.
Disobedience means death.
Yes, she died once because she was too weak. She remembered.
Tears ran down her cheeks.
Zhou Xia''s body had no vitality.
At the moment, but miraculously shed tears.
"I..."
"... I''ve died once... Why... Don''t you let me go?"
The people around couldn''t understand what she was saying.
Someone pushed her behind her again. It was an old woman''s voice: "what''s the matter with the bride? How can she not understand the rules?"
Zhou Xia was not on guard for a moment. The double swords in his hand were unstable. For a moment, they fell out and fell to the ground with a bang.
Suddenly there was a surprised voice around, and then someone angrily said, "who married someone with a sword? Put it away!"
Then someone went up and wanted to take the sword from the ground.
"Sword! My sword!"
Zhou Xia''s heart suddenly panicked. The sword was entrusted to her by the gods. It was her most important treasure. You can''t lose it, you can''t lose it!
Someone grabbed her arm and tried to cut her hands back. This behavior brought her an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
"I don''t want to be weak."
"Want to change all this."
"Want to control your own destiny."
"Want to gain power beyond the secular world!"
power.
Zhou Xia stretched out her hand and the power emerged. In an instant, the chaotic thinking world was knocked to pieces by this power, with fragments scattered. All the falsehood, confusion and obstacles collapsed, and the world showed its true face in front of her.
The new force sprouted from the depths of her body and rushed through her dead body like a river that lit a whole flame in her body.
Her consciousness became clear.
"This is my sword!"
The man with the sword was an adult man. When he saw Zhou Xia coming to grab the sword, he frowned and tried to push her away with one hand and took the sword away.
Zhou Xia''s white little hand was held on the hilt of the sword, and then a huge force came. The man''s tiger mouth was directly torn, and the double swords were grabbed by Zhou Xia!
Memory gradually recovers under the surge of power.
From the past to the present, little by little memories fell back into the heart lake, supplementing her personality.
At this time, many people came forward and pulled her, trying to make her obedient. She pushed around, and the power in her body surged out.
All the people around were suddenly hit by this force and fell into the distance. In a moment, Zhou Xia was empty.
People cried out, and Zhou Xia took off her veil with her hands and looked straight at the crowd around her without stopping.
"Come on, grab the bride and cover her head back!"
Seeing that the bride was disobedient, the elder presiding over the wedding immediately shouted loudly, trying to remedy it.
As soon as Zhou Xia lifted the red wedding dress, she took out the two long swords inside. As soon as she held one handle, she threw it skillfully. The scabbard fell to the ground with a bang, and two bright swords like autumn water appeared in her hand!
Zhou Xia raised his sword and made preparations for the battle that had been done countless times.
Tears still hung on her cheeks, however, she was unwilling to continue crying.
