At night, I kept thinking about what my father had said. What the hell was Grizzly? Not many old hunters have heard of it. Also, what the hell is that black bear we met on the tree up there? Why did you see me leave again? It's just like what Hu Yaoyao said, you're afraid that I'll break my teeth?

Forget it, I just can't understand it. If I were to escape from a bear's mouth, I'm lucky. In the future, I should be more careful on the mountain. If you throw a handful of salt inside, you won't be able to fly out. If that little fox Yao is still human, I'll tie her up and throw her into the barn.

As I was daydreaming, I saw me walking down a forest path. What was going on? I'm very familiar with the woods near home, but I've never seen anything like this before.

At the end of the road was a pair of purplish-red gates. The outside wall was two to three meters high, and from inside came the sounds of laughter, silk bamboo, and the sound of toasts being toasted.

Where is this? Although I still had some doubts, I couldn't help but walk into the courtyard. Once I entered, a long stone staircase led straight to the hall. The doors of the hall were wide open.

In front of me was a large round table with dozens of people sitting around it. They were eating and drinking merrily and the leader was a dark faced man. When he saw me enter, he said, "We've finally arrived and are waiting for you." Saying that, he made an empty seat by the side of my hand, allowing me to sit down.

I was about to ask where they were, who were the people sitting, and I saw a woman sitting next to the dark faced man. She had a picturesque look on her face, dressed in red, beautiful like a peach flower, and every smile and smile was filled with endless charm, it was exactly the woman that I met in the sedan with Hu Yaoyang and Hu Yaoyao that night. Today, she seemed to be even more beautiful than the past few days, and I was stunned when she saw me look at her and said to me, "I don't know if you still remember me." I hastily replied, "Of course I remember. Of course I remember. It's hard to forget such a beautiful person." I usually don't talk like this. I don't even talk much with girls at school. I don't even dare to breathe loudly when I see the female teacher. What's wrong with me today?

The woman covered her mouth and laughed. Everyone else didn't even look at our side. The dark faced big man said to me: "You and my sister are fated to be together. It would be a pity if we couldn't be together. How old are you?" I said, "I'm twenty this year." The dark faced man said, "What a coincidence, my sister is also 20 years old. How many months is your birthday?" I said, "February 19th." The dark faced man clapped. "What a coincidence. My sister is also on the 19th of February."

The black-faced man then asked, "I haven't asked you what your name is, where you live, what your parents do, and if you're married." I hastily replied, "My name is Xu Wenzong. I live at the head of the Southern Sea. My family is fishing for a living, so I still haven't gotten married yet." When the woman in red saw me flustered, she giggled again. It was so funny that I almost forgot where I was.

The dark faced man said, "Aiya, this isn't good." I said, "Brother, do you feel that something is amiss? Can I just go along with you?" The dark-faced man said, "Your family is too far away. When has my sister traveled so far? Moreover, my sister is afraid of water. Your family also wants to fish for a living. What should I do?"

Indeed, my parents had long hoped that I would be able to get married. Lotus Heart was my beloved woman, and if I didn't marry her, I would regret it for the rest of my life. What could I do? It's really complicated, but in short, as long as I marry Lotus Heart, nothing else matters.

The dark faced man said, "How about this, after you get married, you will stay at your home for a year, and you two will come back to stay for a year. This is the most suitable way to settle things, what do you think?" I thought it was a good idea, so I quickly said, "Alright, alright, I'll listen to my brother." The black-faced man then asked the woman in red, "Little sister, how about this?" Lian Xin said, "I will listen to whatever brother says." Saying that, he looked at me with a smile, so bright that it could be said that he was looking forward to it, causing me to be absent-minded.

Immediately, the dark faced man stood up and announced loudly, "Everyone, today is the auspicious day for my sister and her husband. Everyone here is a witness to the wedding ceremony. Everyone will be here for three days."

Someone dragged Lian Xin and I to the back room to dress up. After a while, two maids came out to support Lian Xin, and they saw that she had a red hair covering her face and was wearing a phoenix coronet and gown. I was wearing the attire of the groom, and we kowtowed three times to the heaven and earth to remove the veil.

Everyone came over to toast him. Lian Xin and I drank one cup after another, and Xiongan Kui ordered a dark and thin man: "This day of great joy cannot lose its popularity. Go call for the people nearby to come and join the liveliness." The person replied and ran out. Soon, more people arrived. There were men, women, old and young. There were monks, old and young. There were warriors with sabers, and also scholars fanning themselves. For a time, it was hard to count how many people had arrived.

After staying here for three consecutive days, the delicacies and fine wine left one after the other. It was unknown how many of them had drunk, and it was likely that even the days of deities were nothing more than that.

Three days later, Lian Xin and I bid farewell to big brother. Before leaving, big brother sent us two BMW. We rushed back to my hometown, the South China Sea.

My parents were overjoyed to see Lotus at home. They built a new house near my parents' house. I went out to fish every day. Lotus was in charge of household chores at home.

One day I caught a big fish, and the family of four prepared to eat it, and when we cut open the belly of the fish, we saw a luminous pearl in it, and sold it in exchange for gold and silver and jewels, and there was a sudden burst of wealth, so I tore down the old house and built a new house, and took it over to live with my parents, and the new house occupied thirty acres of land, and bought countless servants and servants, and opened ten jewelry shops. Lotus and I loved them very much.

Lotus was a gentle woman, and her love for me was growing. She would stare at me, and when I smiled and asked her why she was staring at me, she would sigh and say nothing.

Lotus heart ate very little and had to soak in the sink for six hours every day. I often asked her if she could not stand the heat and humidity here, but she just said that she had been used to it since she was young. There was no other special reason, so I didn't ask any more questions.

I don't know why, we've been married for a few months, Lian Xin hasn't shown any signs of pregnancy at all. Even if I went to get a doctor, the doctor wouldn't be able to explain it, I'm going to look for a doctor even further away, so Lian Xin stopped me: "You and I are married, the most important thing is that the two of us can be together. As long as we are together, every day is a rare fate, it doesn't matter whether we have children or not." Hearing her words, I stopped going out and concentrated on accompanying her.

Every day we were as close as we had been on our first day of marriage, the lotus was always attached to me, and even when I went out during the day and came back in the evening, she was anxious and insisted on waiting for me at the door.

One night, I was awoken by a burst of sobs. It was Lian Xin. I hurriedly asked her what was going on. She looked at me sorrowfully and said, "I'm afraid that if I look at her less, we won't know when we will separate." I comforted her, "You and I are still young. If you say you don't want to look at me, I will stay with you."

After a year, Lian Xin and I went to my brother's house as per our agreement and prepared a palanquin. Ten people were carrying a palanquin and ten people were riding a BMW as we drove.

There were only a few more guests at my brother's house a year ago, and he was glad to see me, so he led us to the back room and ordered the servants to bring us food and meat. The three of us toasted each other until I felt a little dizzy and fell asleep on the table.

When I opened my eyes, I was shocked to see a big black bear sleeping soundly on the floor, and Lotus Heart had also fallen asleep on the table. I quickly grabbed onto Lotus Heart and ran out, and when I saw that the guests who had just been drinking and eating were no longer there, they turned into a room full of monsters and monsters. They were drinking and laughing loudly, and I was so shocked that I didn't dare to make a sound.

I said, "Lian Xin, you and I need to quickly run out." Lian Xin pushed me away and cried, "I'll be satisfied if I can see you again. Quickly leave. This is not a place for you to stay." I hurriedly said, "Lian Xin, why aren't you coming with me?" "I am a lotus spirit, you and I met each other in our past life, married and a boy called Xu Yuzhu, our family went for a stroll, and Yu Zhu ran off to some temple in the city, where we were discovered by the land, and followed Yu Zhu to his house, where we were forcibly separated." Lian Xin said with a teary heart, "I am a lotus spirit, you and I met each other in our previous life, and we were married and a boy called Xu Yuzhu, and we went for a stroll, and Yu Zhu ran off to some sort of a temple, and was discovered by the land. I seemed to understand, but also not understand: "Lian Xin, you and I have been husband and wife for a year, why do you say we meet each other in our dreams?" Lian Xin didn't say anything. She took my hand and pushed me out of the door. I was shocked and opened my eyes.

The sunlight from outside the window shines on my face, I look around my own home, I am still that nine-year-old Sun Hao, it turns out to be a dream, but this dream is too real and too long, I still remember that year in the South China Sea, still remember the dream lotus heart every day, her hair ornament, her favorite pond, when she stared at me that sad eyes, whether or not it was real or fake I can no longer tell.

Then I heard the noise in the outer room, my grandpa and grandma talking, my mom and Yao cooking, my dad coughing, and I slowly came back to reality.

I put on my clothes and went out. My mother saw me and said, "What time did you sleep yesterday? You woke up so late, so I wanted to wake you up. Seeing that you slept so sincerely, I didn't wake you up." I looked at my watch and it was actually past ten. Ah, Lotus Heart, Lotus Heart, how reluctant you are to wake me up.

I heated up some leftovers and put it into my mouth numbly. I feel like I've been away for a lifetime, and I don't know if I'm a guest or something." Hu Yaoyao came over and giggled, "What's the matter? What are you dreaming about? Why are you so distracted?" I asked her, "Do you think the lotus flower will mature and marry and have children?" She thought for a moment and said, "All living things have a spirit. Of course, lotuses can cultivate to a monster, but it's also possible for them to fancy people. It's just that we don't know about them after we get married.
