Forty-sixth night: Hooked
An original story every night to accompany you through those sleepless nights...... I'm a ghostly maniac, are you ready?
It is said that children can see a lot of things that ordinary people can't see, so ordinary funerals or cemeteries will not take children to these places, for fear that seeing those things that are not clean will frighten children.
In addition, there is another reason that the child's physique is relatively weak, and it is easy to provoke these dead ghosts and ghosts.
Adults are for the good of children, but children are not sensible, rebellious psychology is still relatively strong, and they are also very curious about what to do.
Isn't it, I heard early this morning that the youngest daughter of the neighbor Uncle Li's family died of illness, and almost all the adults in the village rushed to help.
People who live in the village are like this, whoever wants to have a big or small affair, they will take the initiative to help without looking for it, and they are more attentive than doing their own work.
Seeing that his parents were going out, Xiao Kai was about to crawl out of the bed and go with him, but his father stopped him and scolded: "Children can't go to this kind of thing, stay at home obediently and wait for us to come back."
The mother also echoed and touched Xiao Kai's little head, telling him to stay at home and come back to make him something to eat.
Mom and Dad said so, Xiao Kai had to stay at home obediently, and when he was hungry, he pulled two roasted potatoes from the stove sugar, and when he was eating, his little friend Wendong came.
As soon as he entered the door, he sneakily looked around, and found that Xiao Kai was also at home alone, so he said to him boldly and confidently: "Xiao Kai, let's also go to Uncle Li's house to join in the fun, I heard that it is going to be a kiss to his daughter, maybe there are candy snacks to eat."
Originally, Xiao Kai didn't dare to go, but as soon as he heard the candy snacks, he couldn't stand the gluttony in his heart, and secretly went to Uncle Li's house with Wen Dong.
There is an unwritten custom in the local area, that is, after the death of young men and women, they must marry each other, so that they can have a companion to take care of them below, and they will not feel lonely and lonely.
Generally, the yin relatives are to find a body that also happens to be of the same age as the deceased to form a one-on-one burial, but it is too difficult to find a person who meets the standards, so it is generally a scarecrow with straw, and put on clothes and hats to act as the object of the yin relatives, which always feels like a fool.
Marriage is also like getting married, all the procedures are similar, and the scene is also very lively, relatives and friends from ten miles and eight villages will come to congratulate, and they will also hold a banquet to entertain these people who come to congratulate.
Because there were too many people, everyone didn't notice that Wen Dong and Xiao Kai were secretly running to join in the fun, the two of them were like two mice, hiding from the eyes of adults, when they saw a few people walking into a room with a few plates of pastries and fruits, and left after a while.
The two children had a happy smile on their faces and couldn't wait to run into the room to steal food.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw the pastries and fruits placed on the table in the center of the room, and the two children unceremoniously grabbed them and ate them in a big gulp.
The two children thought they were gone, but who knew that there were still people inside!
The girl was not very old, only eleven or twelve years old, and was sitting on a chair at the table, munching on an apple, and the sound she had just made while eating.
Seeing that some people Wen Dong and Xiao Kai were so frightened that they turned around and were about to run, but when they came to the door, the door of the room was slammed shut, and a dull-eyed teenager blocked the door.
"Since you're here, let's eat something and leave, I can't finish eating anyway" The girl beckoned to Xiao Kai and Wendong and motioned for them to go over to eat, how could the two of them have the guts, standing in place trembling and saying nothing, they didn't dare to go over.
"You two little guys won't even know me, right? I'm your lotus sister!" Lotus is Uncle Li's daughter, the two children heard this, and carefully looked at the girl in front of them, and sure enough, it was their lotus sister.
At that moment, the two children became bolder, and once again they couldn't stand the seduction of gluttonous insects, so they picked up the things on the table and ate them.
"Sister Lotus, you are so beautiful today!" Xiao Kai did not forget to praise the other party while eating, this kind of child is called sensible, unlike Wendong who knows how to eat, and he won't even say thank you.
"Of course, today is the big day for my sister and me to get married, so naturally I have to dress up beautifully, but it's a pity that I married a bunch of straw, if it were replaced by you!
At this time, the dull-eyed young man standing at the door shook his body a few times, and Sister Lotus scolded loudly when he saw it: "Don't meddle with your straw bale, otherwise I will burn you with a fire!"
Wen Dong and Xiao Kai, two ignorant teenagers, naturally don't understand much about marriage, they only know that they can stay together forever after marriage, so they agreed without hesitation.
Sister Lotus asked the two children to go to their beds to play, let them lie down, cover them with a red quilt, gently pat the two of them, humming a childish face in their mouths, and coaxing the two children to sleep.
The two children only felt that their eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and before they knew it, they fell asleep.
After that, Sister Lotus also smiled with satisfaction, and lay down on the happy bed with the dull-eyed teenager, covering the two children tightly.
As night fell, several young men entered the room, sealed the lid of a coffin placed in the center of the room with coffin nails, tied it with a wooden pole and rope, and carried the coffin out of the room with a neat shout.
"The newcomer is on the road!" accompanied by the shouts of the deacon on the side, the sound of gongs, drums and suona sounded, and the group walked towards the cemetery.
After burying a pair of "newlywed" Xiaokai's parents, they remembered that their son was still at home, so they hurried back home and found that the child had fallen asleep on the bed.
helped Xiao Kai cover the quilt, and Xiao Kai's parents also went back to rest.
When he slept until midnight, Xiao Kai's screams woke up the husband and wife, and they hurriedly came to Xiao Kai's room, and found that Xiao Kai had his mouth wide open, his little face was red and purple, and he kept panting, his hands were raised high in the air, and his eyes were closed and his mouth was still shouting: "Help! Let me out!" and something like that, that is, after a few minutes of work, Xiao Kai died on the way to the hospital, and Wendong died that night!
