Chapter 1: The Crimson Wedding

  On the ninth day of the eleventh month of the year of Gengyin, it is suitable to make an engagement, accept betrothal gifts, offer sacrifices, pray for good fortune, and engage in construction. It is taboo to build a stove or get married.

  The joyful music echoed through the small village, and a welcoming team of over ten people attracted the attention of old and young villagers.

  "Whose family is getting married?"

  "Home!"

  "What? Didn't the Huas just discuss the engagement three days ago? The betrothal gifts haven't even been seen yet, how can they be welcoming the bride already?"

  "I'm also confused!"

  "Tsk tsk, that girl from the Flower family is so lovely, she shouldn't have any problem finding a husband!"

  The villagers followed behind the wedding procession, chattering and gossiping as they made their way to a small farmhouse at the farthest corner of the mountain village.

  The gate of the farmhouse was pasted with a big auspicious character, and two large red lanterns were hung on the lintel. A string of firecrackers was also placed on the eaves, waiting to announce the arrival of joy.

  In the hall of the courtyard, Hua Rou was wearing a bright red wedding dress and was sleeping soundly on the wooden table, when the lively music floated in and woke her up.

  Hua woke up with a frown, feeling extremely sore in her neck. She rubbed her neck while yawning and opening her eyes.

  "Mother!"

  The girl's languid posture suddenly stiffened, her uneasy cry was because her mother had actually fallen to the ground.

  "Mother!" Hua Rou rushed to her mother's side and helped her up: "Mother! What's wrong with you? Wake up, Mother! Father, Mother has fainted!"

  But her mother had no reaction at all. Her face was pale and bloodless, her hands and feet were warm and weak, and even her nostrils didn't move...

  The anxiety in her heart was rapidly amplifying, and Hua Rou's hands trembled as she brought her fingers to her mother's mouth and nose.

  A few seconds later, her tears burst out uncontrollably, and she screamed in terror and helplessness: "Dad! Dad! Come quickly, Dad, Mom...Mom, she..."

  But she still didn't hear Father's response.

  Hua Rou's eyes shifted uneasily as she turned her head to glance outside the hall...

  Why doesn't Father respond? Every time Mother is wrong, isn't Father always the first to respond and rush to Mother's side?

  Hua Rou panicked and quickly put down her mother's body, stumbling out of the hall. As she stepped out of the door, the sunlight was particularly dazzling...

  She saw her father and four relatives who had rushed over for the wedding that morning, now lying on the ground.

  In an instant, Hua Rou seemed to have been drained of her strength, her legs went soft and she knelt down to the ground.

  "No! It can't be! It won't happen!" she muttered to herself, her heart racing wildly as a frantic and terrifying fear crept up on her...

  Hua Rou scrambled up and rushed to her father's side, where she saw that his expression was calm and peaceful, as if he were asleep.

  "Dad!" Hua Rou pounced on her father's body, shaking him vigorously: "Dad!"

  But she shook and shouted in vain, without getting any response...

  Once again she sniffed the air, and the deathly stillness made her heart sink like a stone into an icy abyss.

  "How could this be? How could..." She turned her head towards her relatives and reluctantly went forward to check their breathing one by one.

  But the result is always the same.

  Cruel silence is bluntly proving loss.

  "Bang bang bang!" The gate was knocked open, and the voice of the official was filled with joy: "Open the door to welcome the bride!"

  The flowers were soft and filled her ears, but at this moment, this sudden loss made shock and confusion fill her entire head.

  "Why is it like this? Why... It was all fine before..."

  Today is her big happy day!

  Although this marriage came suddenly and strongly, although she was somewhat unwilling, although her mother refused to explain too much, but she shouldn't have lost her mother, father, relatives...lost a home on such a day!

  "Bang! Bang!"

  "Open the door!"

  "Hey! Open the door!"

  The gate was knocked loudly, but no one answered, and the joy of welcoming turned into inexplicable unease.

  But no matter how hard he knocked, the gate remained tightly closed, and there was no response from inside.

  At last, this unusual wedding procession burst through the door unrestrained.

  The official rushed in with a group of curious villagers at that moment, and they all stood there stupidly.

  People fallen to the ground, a stunned bride, and an air of deathly silence.

  "Oh no! A dead body!" After a shrill cry, the scene suddenly became chaotic. The braver villagers rushed to the corpse, while the timid ones hid at the door, peeking out to take a look.

  Hua Rong stood still in a daze, her soul lost and listless like a puppet with no one controlling it.

  The official walked unbelievably to Huajou's side: "What's going on? What happened? What are they...?"

  Her lips trembled as she spoke, tears falling one by one: "I..."

  She had just spoken a single word when the world in front of her began to shake and tilt...

  Just as Hua Rou was about to fall to one side, Li Guan caught her with one hand: "Be careful!"

  Tears streaming down her face, she weakly said: "I don't know... I, I just woke up like this..."

  She also wants to know what's going on. The "Tangmen Duozong" Chapter 1: Blood-colored Wedding you're reading now is only half a chapter, to read the full version please Baidu search: () and then search again: Tangmen Duozong
