"Well, that's right, what this big sister said makes sense, our village is close to the barren mountains and mountains, and there are often wild wolves sneaking into the village to take away a chicken and drag away a duck or something, and there have even been incidents of wild wolves attacking villagers. Qin Dachuan chattered a lot on the side, and Yuan Shuai also knew that it was best to pin the reason on the head of the wild wolf, so that at least they would be at ease and not think that it was a disaster from heaven.

Yuan Shuai observed it carefully, shook his head and said, "I don't think it's caused by wild wolves and other animals, you see these two skeletons are wearing wedding robes, but the skin and flesh disappeared without a trace overnight, do you think the wild wolves will pay attention not to bite their clothes when they eat." ”

"Don't you think it's strange that these two bones are smooth and flat on the surface, and there are no traces of gnawing, and there is not a trace of blood or minced meat left on the kang where the corpses are stored?"

Yuan Shuai explained this, everyone suddenly felt a tingling of the scalp, since it is not caused by animals, then the only possibility is - ghosts!

Xia Molei pushed Yuan Shuai, who had a serious face, and it was usually only when he was thinking about the problem that he could rarely show a serious expression. "According to your opinion, this bone incident may be a ghost. ”

"I don't know if it's a ghost, but as soon as I entered this room, I smelled a very strange smell, a hint of ghosts, but after all, there are two dead bodies stored in this room, but I always feel that there is a faint smell of blood, I'm afraid there is really something unclean that has visited here." ”

Qin Dachuan's body trembled, and he asked Yuan Shuai a little stumblingly: "Master, do you mean that our family has really recruited ghosts?"

Yuan Shuai did not quickly answer Qin Dachuan's question, but instead brought everyone to the main hall, he limped to the chair, and Qin Dachuan hurriedly served tea and water.

After taking a sip of unpalatable tea, Yuan Shuai asked Qin Dachuan and the others about the ins and outs of this secret marriage.

It turned out that a week ago, Qin Dachuan's 12-year-old youngest son Qin Hu unfortunately rolled to his death while playing on a hillside. However, it happened that a month ago, the daughter of a family in the north of the village had just been funeral, and the 15-year-old yellow flower girl Shan Xing unfortunately drowned.

The two families happened to be about the same age, so on the third day of Qin Huzi's death, the two families dug up the body that had been buried for a month.

Simply sorted out the remains of the two deceased, and then spread a thick layer of white powder on the bright red lips on the map, which was the same as being dressed up and could enter the "cave room".

According to local customs, the secret marriage ceremony should be held for three days and three nights, during which a total of 14 pairs of white paper figures must be prepared to express the banquet and invite the passing friends of the underworld to enjoy a light meal, so the table in the courtyard should also prepare 28 bowls of rice, 28 chicken legs, and 28 pairs of chopsticks.

The bodies of the two children who were married through the marriage of the underworld should be placed in the cave room for three days and three nights before they could be buried together, but yesterday was the last night of the "cave room" time, and it stands to reason that the two children could be buried early this morning, but who would have thought that when they were ready to collect the bodies of the two children into the coffin early this morning, they found that they had turned into a pile of white bones.

The more I listened, the more strange I felt, although Qin Dachuan pointed out that according to the custom, strangers could not come to mourn and stay temporarily during the secret marriage, but Yuan Shuai did not mourn the night they came, and they did not live in their house, but temporarily lived in Qin Laohan's house, it stands to reason that Yuan Shuai and they did not break the rules of the secret marriage.

However, the facts are in front of us, and strange things did occur on the last night of the marriage, which caused something unclean to break into the "cave room" and caused a night of tragedy.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shuai stood up again and wanted to go to the yard for a walk, but his legs and feet were inconvenient, and he didn't stand firmly, Yuan Shuai's body fell to the side, and at this time, it was Qin Laohan's granddaughter, that is, the child, who supported Yuan Shuai's body who wanted to fall.

Looking at the little girl's clean and clear big eyes, Yuan Shuai couldn't help but think of lying on the same bed with her last night under a futon, although she looked only twelve or thirteen years old, she was already in the category of little Lori, and then thought of the old man's wise saying: Lori is good, clear sound, soft body, easy to push down, Yuan Shuai felt a dry mouth.

"Yuan Datou is thinking nonsense again, look at your eyes are straight!" It seems that Xia Molei also guessed the true identity of the little girl, and she attached it to Yuan Shuai's ear to warn him, "Hey, big pervert, don't think that I can't see what you're thinking in your heart, I'm finally warning you again, and children who are still minors are protected by national laws." ”

"Cut you and frame a good person again, tell you that I am a good citizen, a great good citizen!" After saying that, Yuan Shuai jumped into the courtyard with a weak heart, and at this time there were tables, chairs, benches and twenty-eight white-clothed paper people in the courtyard of Qin Dachuan's house.

All the men, women and children of the Qin family put down their work to watch Yuan Shuai's performance alone, only to see him look at this and that, move this and touch that, during which Yuan Shuai's mouth was still muttering something in a small voice, anyway, it didn't take long for twenty-eight paper figures to be checked by him.

Everyone was a little confused in the face of Yuan Shuai's strange behavior, but Xia Molei understood Yuan Shuai, she stepped forward to ask about the result, Yuan Shuai frowned and said to himself: "Impossible, these paper people have no problems at all, it stands to reason that the most important part of the underworld marriage is to invite people passing by in the underworld to eat, after all, it is a dead man's wedding, and only the dead can participate in this banquet." I checked that there was nothing wrong with each of them, but I always felt that something was wrong. ”

"What's wrong, is it the number wrong? But twenty-eight paper figurines, one is not more, not one is less. Xia Molei also said puzzled.

"The number of paper people is no problem, the number of paper people on the general marriage is an even number, which means that the friends who pass by come in pairs and go in pairs, don't rob the groom's wife, but ...... Huh, in pairs?"

Yuan Shuai raised his eyebrows, suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly walked towards Qin Dachuan, but as soon as he was in a hurry, his left leg suddenly felt a faint pain.

Xia Molei hugged Yuan Shuai, reproached him a little distressed, called Qin Dachuan, and Yuan Shuai asked him with a serious face: "Are there a total of twenty-eight paper figures in the whole house, including the courtyard?"

"Of course, twenty-eight means an even number, but it's ......"

"But what?" Yuan Shuai hurriedly asked.

Startled by Yuan Shuai's anxious appearance, Qin Dachuan hurriedly recalled: "However, when I was making the paper figure, I accidentally broke one because I was in a hurry, but I have already ordered someone to burn it." ”

"Is it really burned?" Yuan Shuai still pressed forward step by step.

"Uh...... Come over and ask you, did the paper figure you burned a while ago burn?"

The young man who was called was Qin Dachuan's eldest son, he scratched his head and said a little confused, "It seems to be burned, right?"

"Come to think of it, are you sure?"

"Uh...... Oh, I remember, because I've been so busy these days, I threw that bad paper figure into the firewood room before I had time to burn it. ”
