C5 (1/2)
”You … Don't come over here, it's not that I want to burn you, it's because the old gramps told me to! ” Startled, I reached for a firewood axe and swung it at the paper man without thinking.
”I'll hack you to death …” I'll chop you to death! ” As if I had gone mad, I continuously chopped at the paper man several times, until it shattered into pieces. Then, I stopped, panting and falling to the ground.
”Stinking brat, what are you doing not sleeping at night?” The old man came out of the house and grabbed the axe from my hand.
”Old Man …” That female ghost did not leave! ” I slowly got up from the ground and said while still in a panicked state.
”Kid, you haven't woken up yet.”
The old man took a bucket of water and poured it over my head, and my head immediately cleared up. Looking at the pieces of paper on the ground, I realized that I was bewitched by a ghost.
”Hurry up and go back to sleep.” I ran back into the house, put my robe over my head, and went to sleep.
He slept until late in the morning. The dazzling sunlight shone through the window. Slowly I opened my eyes, sat up, put on my clothes, and walked out of the house.
”Old man, have you made breakfast? I'm hungry.”
”Put the breakfast in the kitchen and go eat it yourself. After you finish eating, come back to work.” It was as if everything that had happened last night had never happened, and the lordmaster never brought it up again. After we finished eating, I walked to the counter and found Tang Guofeng also there, chatting with the old man.
I tidied up the paper and took a seat. ”What happened to the old man last night?”
”It's that girl. Since you burned her coffin and corpse, of course I have to come and find you.” The old tutor sat down on a chair and said slowly as he took a drag from his cigarette.
”Old gramps, please help me on this matter. If she continues to pester me like this, then there's no other way.”
The old man smiled and said to me, ”Little Tian, you're not young anymore. I told you about a marriage.”
”Marriage? How old am I? Isn't it a bit too early to get married? ”
”You're almost thirty, if you don't get married soon, will you still be able to find a wife?”
”Which family's girl? The one at the east side of the village is at the west side.”
The old man took a puff on his cigarette and slowly said, ”It's that little girl, Tang Yufeng, who was buried yesterday. I've discussed it with Tang Guofeng, and he has a deep grudge against you, and he's never been married to you. You and he are engaged to each other, so she can protect you.
”Pfft...” I spat out a mouthful of water, almost choking me to death, ”Stop messing around old man, that girl is dead, even if she's still alive, I wouldn't dare to provoke her.”
”If you don't marry her, she will come to find you every day. If you marry her, the heavens and earth will witness it and no one will be able to separate from you.” The old man knocked me with his pipe. Who told you to be so unskilled? If you had any skills, then I wouldn't have to help you.
”Kid, since you took someone's coffin money, it won't be that easy to spend.” So, the old man already knew that he was here to play with me and let me walk step by step into his trap.
The old man turned around and walked to the backyard, leaving me sitting there in a daze. The custom of Yin marriage is indeed very popular in our countryside. Unmarried men and women who die seek out the opposite sex for a Yin marriage, the purpose of which is to prevent their ghosts from causing a disturbance in their homes.
But I didn't expect my marriage to be so casual as to find a ghost girl to marry.
The old gramps specially prepared the items needed for the wedding, and even went through the procedures to get someone to tell him about the matchmaking. In the afternoon, Tang Kingdom's peak brought people over and specifically bought a large courtyard as a betrothal gift to express their sincerity.
But what I want to know is that the woman's body has been burned. I can't marry with a picture frame, can I?
The wedding took place at midnight, and the village fell into a deathly silence. The wind was blowing hard and it made me shiver. The entire wedding consisted of only me, the old man, and the three people of the Tang Kingdom Peak. The wedding ceremony was similar to the wedding, with lanterns hanging from the lanterns hanging from the lanterns, and the firecrackers from the gongs and drums coming towards the coffin shop one after another.
I stood in the doorway for a moment, dressed in my wedding suit, and the sedan slowly came to a halt in front of me.
”Little Tian, what are you waiting for? Quickly take down the bride.” I walked to the palanquin and pulled open the palanquin curtain. Inside the palanquin, there was actually a casket filled with ashes.
”Bone...” ”A urns?” I couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. This old man wanted to play me to death.
I picked up the casket and went in. The casket was still tied with red flowers. As I walked into the courtyard, I heard the sound of firecrackers and the sound of several pieces of paper sticking out. The other tables were also covered with food and wine, and each of them had a piece of paper stuck in them. They looked a little cautious.
”First bow to the heavens and earth …” Kowtow to the heavens and earth … Who do you want me to bow to? To bow to the heavens and earth with a bone ash urns in my arms?
”Gu Gu …” ”Gu gu.” I saw that the old man let go of an old hen. This old man really knows how to play.
