Chapter 4: A Strange Marriage

It took a while for Yuan Shuai to feel that his body had stopped sliding, and the touch of consciousness told him that he had not yet stepped into the ghost gate, but the soreness in his body reminded him that his condition was not much different from death.

Xia Molei beside Yuan Shuai was also in a state of coma, she was lying on the cold ground, a faint golden light surrounded her, at the moment of encountering a landslide, Yuan Shuai only cared about stuffing the Vajra talisman into Xia Molei's hands to keep her safe, now it seems that the protective effect of the Vajra talisman has been exerted, and Xia Molei's body is intact except for a little bruise.

Yuan Shuai secretly complained for a while, he thought that he should take a good look at the yellow calendar when he went out today, and he didn't know which plague god's eyebrows were all bad all day today, first the car broke down, they had to place the car at the foot of the mountain, and then walked to the top of the mountain but found that the unscrupulous old man ran to be happy alone, and then went down the mountain and encountered rain, the rain will rain and it will fall more and more, Yuan Shuai has also braved the rain many times to go up and down the mountain, but this time he actually encountered the first mudslide and landslide double blow in the ten years since he went up the mountain。

"Xia Xia~ The girl is awake, the wolf is coming~" shouted Xia Molei in a hoarse and faint voice, feeling that the voice she was making now was not much closer to a ghost crying.

Finally opened her eyes, Xia Molei listened to the shouting and woke up leisurely, but the first thing she said when she opened her eyes turned out to be "I'm hungry......"

"You stinky girl with no conscience, I sacrificed my life to save you, but when you opened your eyes, you were hungry, don't you have any other thoughts than to eat?"

Yuan Shuai's tragic call finally made Xia Molei sober up, she ran to Yuan Shuai and saw that Yuan Shuai was no longer able to stand up, it turned out that in the process of falling, Yuan Shuai protected Xia Molei tightly in his arms, coupled with the protective effect of the King Kong Talisman, Xia Molei was able to avoid a difficult situation without danger. However, Yuan Shuai was not so lucky, one after another rolling, rubbing, and collision made Yuan Shuai's body become injured, and the final tragedy was that at the moment of the final rolling, Yuan Shuai's left leg had a "close contact" with a rock.

"It looks like it's broken...... I'm not going to be a cripple like this, am I?" Yuan Shuai laughed at himself helplessly.

Xia Molei shook her head desperately, but tears flowed down all of a sudden, "Why do you make yourself so embarrassed every time you are with a girl?" At the beginning, there were locust tree spirits on campus, and Sister Su Man surrendered to the red-clothed ghost together, and now you have encountered a landslide with me, do you have to kill yourself to be satisfied!"

Showing a sour smile, Yuan Shuai endured the pain and wiped Xia Molei's little face with his hand to comfort him, "I know that you are caring about me with these words, but no matter how you listen to it, it feels very awkward, no matter what, your husband and I are not dead, if you want to cry, you have to wait for me to close my eyes and swallow my last breath." ”

"Don't you talk nonsense, bah, baaa, baa

casually picked up a branch that Xia Molei found for him as a crutch, and supported Xia Molei's shoulder with one hand, Yuan Shuai barely stood up. Looking at the steep rocks, it seemed impossible to climb up, and for now they had to walk down the valley, and all this could only be done by Lady Luck or God, who was willing to help them.

The sky is getting dark, and I don't know how many miles Yuan Shuai and they have traveled in the valley, anyway, they can't stop in this difficult situation, and there is a long and deep wolf howl behind them, it seems that Yuan Shuai's nonsense of casually coaxing Xia Molei has also begun to work, it is really a disaster. Now that Yuan Shuai, who is the main force of the battle, his combat ability has been greatly reduced, and if he encounters wolves, it will undoubtedly make another worse situation for this pair of sad male and female comrades.

When they walked out of the valley, a strange and thin silver moon had already hung in the sky, and they finally saw a few flickering lights not far away.

The wolf howl behind them is still looming, it seems that the group of beasts is determined to follow Yuan Shuai and them, in order to prevent the real "pervert" from attacking the two of them, in the end, Yuan Shuai and Xia Molei discussed that they should move towards those lights, if compared to the ghosts, Yuan Shuai, who has Maoshan Taoism, would rather want to confront his old profession.

Walking along the light, there were one or two inhabited houses, but the most strange thing for the two of them was that there were a group of ghosts dressed in white in the courtyard of the house.

The closer they got to the house, the more they could hear a bleak and desolate suona sound, accompanied by the northwest wind whirring from the desolate land, the two combined with each other, like a low-voiced female ghost telling something sadly.

Xia Molei, who was a little scared, didn't dare to take a step forward, she grabbed Yuan Shuai's arm tightly to seek psychological comfort.

Patting the frightened little rabbit, Yuan Shuai quietly warned Xia Molei that there was not the slightest ghost qi in this place, although the yin qi here was heavier than other places, but it was not a big deal.

was helped into the courtyard by Xia Molei, and when I saw up close, the white-clothed ghosts in the courtyard were all a group of paper figures, and in the dim moonlight, the paper figures each showed a kind of dead and silent white, but the shocking blood red at the corner of the mouth was particularly dazzling.

"Scared me, what are so many paper figures in this yard for, could it be a funeral?"

"On the contrary, we are planning a wedding banquet!" Yuan Shuai pointed at Xia Molei casually, and then saw that there was a big white happy word pasted on both sides of the gate of the courtyard, which was different from the red full of festivity, but the white happy word gave people a cold, solemn, and weird feeling, Xia Molei's eyes widened, and it was the first time she saw someone using an unlucky white wedding word to handle the wedding banquet, not to mention that there was a big paper figure in the courtyard.

"Of course, because this is a wedding for the dead...... A low and hoarse voice behind them suddenly remembered, Xia Molei was startled by this sudden reply, while Yuan Shuai stared at the figure who came out of the room with his eyes narrowed and was unusually calm.

Out of the house, an old woman with a withered shape came out, she held a certain oil lamp in her hand, and walked towards Yuan Shuai and them slowly: "Stranger, no stranger has been here for many years, what are you here for?"

Yuan Shuai explained to the old woman the danger of the landslide they encountered when they went down the mountain, and now that he was injured, he hoped to borrow your place to rest for a night, but before he finished speaking, the old woman vetoed Yuan Shuai's request.

"It's really bad for you to come here, we've had some trouble here lately, so it's better for outsiders not to stay here any longer. ”

"So, auntie, are you preparing for a 'dark marriage'?" Yuan Shuai took the lead in asking a question, but the old woman was surprised, she stared at Yuan Shuai with wide eyes and said, "Young man, do you also know about 'secret marriage'?"
