“Of course. Do you think I had this child on my own? It’s been almost a year since I had any relations with my deceased husband. Do you not want this child?” The woman said with a cry in her soft voice.
“Ah, no, no it’s not that. I just wasn’t mentally prepared,” Small Braid hurriedly reassured her. “We were together just two days ago. Why is your belly so big already?”
The woman replied, “Women in our village have short pregnancies; only three months, and then they can give birth to a chubby baby boy. My dear, you’re about to be a father. Aren’t you happy?”
She gently took Small Braid’s hand and placed it on her belly, saying, “Feel it.”
Small Braid hesitated for a moment and then carefully placed his hand on the woman’s belly, looking fascinated and muttering to himself, “So, this is the special reward.”
After murmuring to himself, Small Braid suddenly realized, “You’re pregnant with my child now. You can’t just keep guarding a man who’s ‘gone out to work’.”
Woman: “I think so too, Xiao Zhao. I’m pregnant now. We have to give our child a home. I plan to announce to the public that my man died while working outside after attending the Lin family’s wedding tomorrow.”
“Then this child…” Small Braid stared at the woman’s belly hesitantly.
The woman hesitated and looked at Small Braid with some difficulty. “Xiao Zhao, I might need to wrong you a bit. Can we temporarily tell others that this child is from my deceased husband?”
Small Braid was taken aback, “Huh?”
The woman bit her lip and said, “Xiao Zhao, I know you’re not married yet. But I’ve already had two children, and you can definitely find a better woman outside of here. Consider this child as a keepsake you’re leaving me with, okay?”
“No way!” Small Braid anxiously looked at the woman. “There’s no one better than you, Sister Song. Let’s get married.”
The woman: “Are you sure? Have you thought about it?”
Small Braid: “I’ve thought about it!”
Bai Lixin who was hidden in the shadows: “…”
After chatting for a while, the woman slowly stood up, leaned against the wall and went inside to rest.
Small Braid also stood up at the door, but instead of going inside, he walked over to where Bai Lixin was hidden in the nearby shadow. He whispered in a calm tone, “No need to hide, I saw you just now.”
Bai Lixin lowered his eyes and stepped out of the shadows. “Are you really planning to marry her?”
Small Braid seemed indifferent. “I’ll be leaving this copy when the time is up.”
Bai Lixin: “?”
Small Braid added, “I’ve always wanted a family, to marry a beautiful wife, and raise a chubby child. This copy happens to fulfill that wish. It’s not bad.”
The man leaned on his cane and took two steps forward to stand in front of Bai Lixin. At this moment, the full moon hung above the treetops. Half of the man’s face was concealed in shadows, while the other half was bathed in moonlight. He said, “Do you think I’ve fallen into some kind of gentle trap?”
Bai Lixin: “…”
Small Braid chuckled lightly. “Of course, I knew there must be traps in this copy, but… it’s really enticing. After all, it’s delivered right to our doorstep; why not enjoy it?”
“It’s just like playing house. On the tenth day, I’ll leave. Can she stop me?”
“To me, this is just a copy. A passing romantic encounter, nothing more.”
“Heh,” Small Braid suddenly grinned with a mocking expression. “You don’t really think I’m that naïve, do you? It’s all just a performance in passing.”
“Other players are the same,” Small Braid winked at Bai Lixin. “The women in this copy are quite interesting. The moment you show some interest, they immediately respond. Not in an open manner, but In a way that they think is clever. But I can see right through their attempts to seduce me.”
“But… I genuinely enjoy the feeling of being seduced by someone. It’s quite fulfilling. When I see a woman going to great lengths and putting in so much effort to win me over, when I see her trying to get my attention while being submissive, it’s hard for me not to be pleased.”
“…” Bai Lixin, “It seems like I was worrying for nothing.”
Small Braid shrugged. “No, I appreciate it. It’s just for fun anyway. The system says it’s a welfare copy. When the time’s up, I’ll just leave without a care. Do you really think this woman can chase me all the way to the game lobby? I’m not holding back either. I’ll play and have fun. Just treat it as a fleeting dream. In five days, the dream will end.”
A woman’s call came from the distance. Small Braid turned around and shouted in response, the turned back to Bai Lixin. “She called me. I’ll head back now. Listen, brother, we’re all the same here. No need to be too uptight. Relax and enjoy.”
With that, Small Braid limped away. After closing the door, the alley returned to its previous silence.
Bai Lixin stood there for a few seconds and whispered in a voice that only he could hear: “I’m afraid that when it’s time to leave, you will find that you have been trapped in the quagmire and cannot extricate yourself.”
———————————
The next day, before dawn, firecrackers resounded outside.
At 6:18 in the morning, the new bride entered the groom’s home.
At first, everything proceeded normally until the moment the bride and groom emerged from the room to start the rigorous wedding rituals. That’s when things began to get out of control.
The bride took off her pristine wedding gown and changed into a red cheongsam. When the groom and bride walked out of the room, almost every man in the village wore a strange expression.
The bride had removed her veil, revealing a carefully adorned face. She stood nervously in the courtyard, wearing a beautiful silk scarf around her neck and holding a red pillow in her arms, obediently standing next to the groom.
This was the marriage custom in their village: after crossing the threshold, they had to fill the pillow with straw. It symbolized a round and fruitful marriage. The more they filled the pillow, the happier their future life was supposed to be.
Of course, this part of the ceremony was also the most common time for wedding pranks. Everyone could do something in the name of blessings, and the more mischievous, the more sincere the wishes.
The matchmaker had clearly explained this process to the bride beforehand. In the eyes of the onlookers, the lovely bride appeared like a white rabbit entering a wolf pack.
Sun Ning had some idea of what would happen next and frowned as she spoke softly, “God Xin, it looks like this bride is in for a rough time today.”
Bai Lixin raised his head, his gaze distant, seemingly lost in thought as he watched the bride.
Sun Ning followed Bai Lixin’s gaze and asked, “God Xin, what are you looking at?”
It took being called twice for Bai Lixin to pull his gaze away. “Oh, nothing. Let’s watch and see what happens. If we can help, we will. You and Li Cancan should call the other female players and stay away. There’s a chance things might get out of hand, and it could affect all of you.”
Sun Ning’s expression changed slightly, and she immediately pulled Li Cancan away, urging the other female players to distance themselves and watch from a corner.
As expected, what happened next was just as Sun Ning had guessed.
When the groom began pushing the cart with the bride to fill the pillow with straw, all the men swarmed in. Some kidnapped the groom, and some even pressed the bride down.
Among those taking action were the original male villagers, and to everyone’s surprise, a few male players as well.
The bride screamed in fear, and even the bridesmaids who had come along were carried into the courtyard by the crowd.
The scene descended into chaos, and the wild behavior under the guise of “festivity” might have continued indefinitely if it hadn’t been for Bai Lixin and several other male players who stepped in. In addition, the groom managed to break free from their grasp and quickly completed the pillow-filling ritual, ending the “hooliganism” under the pretense of “celebration.”
Li Cancan and Sun Ning, along with several female players, watched from afar, their faces pale.
Li Cancan: “This isn’t a bridal chamber prank, this is just hooliganism! Bastards!”
Sun Ning pursed her lips without saying a word, but her expression was far from pleasant. She thought that if Bai Lixin hadn’t advised them to stay away, they might have been among those pressed to the ground as well.
When it came to helping NPCs and protecting teammates, Bai Lixin always prioritized their safety.
‘Wuuu, what a truly amazing teammate. I’m so moved.’
By the time the bride finished filling the pillow, she was in a sorry state. Her complexion had lost all its color, her once delicate makeup was smudged, and her beautifully styled hair had been disheveled. Even her clothes were torn.
However, considering today was her big day, she struggled to maintain a smile. Even after being mistreated, she had to stand up and thank these perpetrators, thanking them for their “blessings” on her and this marriage.
The other bridesmaids weren’t in much better shape. As soon as the event ended, several bridesmaids promptly abandoned the bride and ran off.
With the pillow-filling ritual complete, the wedding was nearing its end. All that remained was to invite guests for the noon banquet and the toasting ceremony, and the wedding would be over.
As the bride was preparing to enter the bridal chamber, Bai Lixin stopped her.
Seeing that it was the person who had helped her earlier, the bride’s expression softened. “Hello, and thank you for earlier.”
Bai Lixin replied, “You’re welcome. By the way, you look familiar. Are you from a village nearby?”
“Ah?” The bride hesitated for a moment and then said, “Oh, I’m from the village on the opposite mountain, but it’s just me in my family. Are you sure you’re not mistaking me for someone else?”
Bai Lixin slowly scanned the bride’s face, and after two seconds of silence, he nodded. “Hmm, I must have been mistaken. My friend is from the city, you two probably just look alike.”
The bride nodded with a smile. “Yes, that must be it.”
“…” Bai Lixin gave the bride a slight smile. “By the way, I forgot to say earlier, I wish you a happy wedding.”
The bride maintained her smile. “Thank you.”
“What were you talking to the bride about just now, God Xin?” When Bai Lixin came back, several female players gathered around, and Sun Ning served as their spokesperson.
Bai Lixin replied, “Nothing much. I just wished her a happy wedding and asked where she’s from.”
Sun Ning asked, “What did she say?”
Bai Lixin answered, “She said she’s from the village on the opposite mountain. There’s a fog there, and once you enter, you lose your way.”
“Entering and losing your way, but you can still come out of it. Don’t you find it interesting? It’s like a one-way passage.”
“The villagers fear the mountain ghost coming down to steal children, yet they welcome brides from across the mountain.”
“There is a long-haired red-clothed ghost in the fog, and there are rumors that it has appeared in the school.”
“There’s something about that fog. I plan to go take a look tonight.”
Sun Ning: “You’re going at night?”
Bai Lixin: “Some scenes trigger different things at night compared to daytime. I went during the day last time, so this time, going at night might reveal something else. There are too many traps on the mountain. You all should stay in the village, lock your doors and windows at night, and don’t open them for anyone.”
Sun Ning looked at Bai Lixin’s serious expression, and her own expression became solemn. She didn’t ask why, she simply nodded firmly. “Okay, you can count on us.”
After finishing the wedding banquet at noon, news spread through the village about a man from the Song family who had died unexpectedly while working outside.
Not long after, white silk was hung outside the Song family’s door.
It was said that since the man’s body had been buried in a deep pit and there were no remains left, Sister Song just made a ceremonial grave for him.
Originally, Bai Lixin thought that events of mourning and celebration clashed, and everyone would avoid it. Unexpectedly, the entire village came to pay their respects in the afternoon. Even the newlywed bride followed her husband’s family into the courtyard and lit two sticks of incense for Sister Song’s husband.
The heavily pregnant Sister Song busied herself with receiving guests, and before long, her face turned pale with sweat streaming down.
At this time, Small Braid didn’t intervene. He just stood by from a distance, and his sharp gaze occasionally swept across the courtyard, as if searching for some prey.
As more and more people arrived, Bai Lixin noticed that not only Sister Song but several women in the families of several other male players were also pregnant…
Everything seemed to be heading in a strange and inexplicable direction.
While Bai Lixin quietly observed the funeral scene in front of him, he felt a tug on his sleeve. When he looked down, he found it was the mute woman’s young son.
Whether it was an illusion or not, the boy seemed slightly taller than when they had first arrived.
The little boy tugged at Bai Lixin’s sleeve and with a voice that sounded more distinct than the past few days, he said, “Uncle, Mom asked me to call you back for dinner.”
Bai Lixin was momentarily taken aback. He glanced at the sky above and realized that the sun was preparing to set. It had become quite late.
The boy’s pronunciation had also noticeably improved. “Uncle, please come quickly. If you don’t come back soon, Dad will beat me.”
His black and white eyes were watery as he stared at Bai Lixin, like a hungry little kitten begging for food.
Bai Lixin: “…”
‘Is it a trend to act cute nowadays ? This is just too unfair.’
The young boy bounced ahead, and as soon as they entered the courtyard, Bai Lixin noticed something peculiar about the atmosphere.
The mute woman had her head bowed, sitting somewhat guiltily at the table, while the man wore a gloomy expression, staring coldly at her. He said in a cold tone, ”Tell me, who is that person exactly?!”
Bai Lixin: “…”
‘What’s going on here?’
Besides the mute woman and the man, there was also someone sitting and someone standing in front of the dining table.
Sitting was the old woman, and standing was Beast Eared Dijia.
When Beast Eared Dijia saw that Bai Lixin had finally returned, he leaped to his side, looking pitiful and looking at him aggrievedly.
Bai Lixin: “…”
Because of the group activities in the past few days, he hadn’t been bringing Beast-Eared Dijia along. But this gaze was really foul, okay?
‘I didn’t bring you along, but I didn’t cheat on you!’
The man’s voice rang out again.
This time, he pounded the table heavily, stood up, and angrily lifted the mute woman, berating her loudly, “Tell me, whose child is this in your belly?! I haven’t touched you for months; this child is definitely not mine!”
“Is it his?!” The man pointed at Beast Eared Dijia.
“Or is it his?!” The man’s finger moved, landing on Bai Lixin.
“Or are they both involved?! You don’t even know whose it is?!”
Bai Lixin stared blankly, his eyes falling dazedly on the mute woman’s belly.
Her stomach, which had been fine in the morning, had somehow swollen.
Bai Lixin: “…”
How does the song in The Injustice of Dou E’s go again? Who helped him get started?
“Of course. Do you think I had this child on my own? It’s been almost a year since I had any relations with my deceased husband. Do you not want this child?” The woman said with a cry in her soft voice.
“Ah, no, no it’s not that. I just wasn’t mentally prepared,” Small Braid hurriedly reassured her. “We were together just two days ago. Why is your belly so big already?”
