Chapter 123: The Ghost Bride (2)
Coming to the central hospital, Ms. Chen took Ye Xi and Bai Yitian straight to her husband's ward. Her husband was placed in a separate room for observation and treatment.
Bai Yitian still had a little impression of Zeng Taikui before, and he recognized Zeng Taikui on the hospital bed at a glance, but his current appearance seemed to be a little different from the picture in his memory.
Bai Yitian looked at Ms. Chen with some confusion: "Did I remember wrongly? Zeng Taikui's skin has always been so dark before?"
Ms. Chen shook her head worriedly and said, "No, he gradually turned black after being sent to the hospital, and the doctor doesn't know what's going on." ”
Ye Xi didn't say anything, stretched out his hand and nodded Zeng Taikui's forehead, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment after seeing his three souls and seven spirits: The three souls are all destroyed, and only the seven spirits are still there.
Obviously, this man has lost his soul.
Ms. Chen looked at Ye Xi from the side: "Master, have you seen anything?"
Ye Xi hesitated for a moment, and saw that Ms. Chen's body was okay, and she was in the hospital, so the doctor could rescue her in time if anything happened, so she decided to tell her the truth: "Your husband has lost his soul." ”
Ms. Chen was stunned for a moment: "What did you lose?"
"Lost souls, souls of souls, if you don't get them back quickly, you'll hang up. ”
Ms. Chen suddenly gasped, and her body shook for a while, but she finally didn't faint. She leaned against the wall and looked at Ye Xi with a pale face: "That master, what should I do about this, can I get it back?"
Ye Xi pondered for a moment: "It's hard to say, after all, there are many kinds of soul loss, and I remember you said that your husband was fine when he came back from work, right?"
"Yes, I got home from work on time as usual, and I was fine!"
"Then the place where the soul was lost was temporarily determined to be home. Can you take me to your house?"
"Good, good. ”
Ms. Chen hurriedly took Ye Xi and Bai Yitian back home.
Ms. Chen and Zeng Taikui are both outsiders, who came to City C for development, but they have no mine at home, and they are helpless, so they all rely on their own hard work. Their home is not big, but it is spotlessly cleaned, and it is also very warmly furnished, with a small pastoral style, which forms a great contrast with Zeng Taikui in Bai Yitian's impression.
Bai Yitian opened the spirit umbrella and followed Ye Xi around her house, and after looking at every corner, he didn't find anything strange.
The house is very clean, there is no evil smell and traces at all.
Ms. Chen looked at Ye Xi nervously and said, "Master, is there anything at home, at home?"
Ye Xi shook his head: "Don't worry, the house is very clean and there is nothing." But can you recall the scene after he came back that day? Don't let go of every little thing, every detail. ”
Ms. Chen nodded, recalling carefully.
That night, he came home from work on time as usual, and when he came home, he bought me his favorite sauce roasted pig's trotters, and I asked him why he remembered to buy her pig's trotters today, could it be that the company paid her salary in advance? He replied with a smile that he was lucky today, and when he came back from work, he picked up a wallet on the road, which contained hundreds of dollars, and he used this money to buy pig's trotters for me. He also knew that it was indeed immoral, but he said that there was nothing in the wallet but money, and even if he wanted to return it to the owner, he couldn't find anyone, so he took it. Later......"
"Wait," Ye Xi interrupted her: "Is that wallet still there?"
"It's still there. ”
"Please show me the trouble. ”
Ms. Chen hurriedly returned to the bedroom, took the wallet out of the drawer and gave it to Ye Xi.
Bai Yitian stepped forward curiously, only to see that the wallet was a long black cowhide envelope wallet of Coach, and the wallet itself might be worth more than a few hundred-yuan bills inside.
No wonder I didn't throw away the money yet, it turned out that I was reluctant to throw it away.
Ye Xi carefully inspected the wallet inside and out, and finally found a piece of cloth sewn on it in a corner of the inner wall of the wallet. Brie was bumpy, and it was obvious that something was in it. Because the color and texture of this cloth are almost exactly the same as the cloth on the inner wall of the wallet, you can't find it if you don't look closely.
Ye Xi asked Ms. Chen for a knife and picked up the piece of cloth.
Removing the cloth, Ye Xi looked inside and couldn't help frowning.
Bai Yitian asked curiously, "Did you find anything?"
Ye Xi took out the small rag, and saw that the cloth contained a strand of women's hair, and the small rag was densely painted with a string of weird symbols.
Ms. Chen and Bai Yitian were stunned for a moment when they saw it.
Bai Yitian frowned slightly: "This is ...... the same as Yao Yao's incident last time."
Ye Xi was looking at the talisman carefully, and after hearing Bai Yitian's words, he shook his head: "It's different, this time it's a little more ruthless, and it will take people away directly." This talisman is neither to invite evil spirits to affect luck, nor to intimidate and harm people by ghosts, it is a contract. ”
"Contract?"
"Well, a marriage contract. ”
Ms. Chen and Bai Yitian looked at Ye Xi in confusion: "What marriage contract?"
"The contract to marry the ghost bride. This phenomenon may be rare in large cities, but it is more common in some remote rural areas or in families with a long history and strong sense of feudalism. Those people believe that if their children die without marriage, they will not be able to report to Lord Yama, let alone be reincarnated smoothly. Families who believe in this notion will go to great lengths to find a suitable male corpse to match, which is now known as the underworld marriage. ”
"Wait," Bai Yitian interrupted her, "Don't you want to say that Zeng Taikui is married to the underworld, right? But he is a living person, how can he be worthy of the underworld marriage?"
Ms. Chen said anxiously: "That's right, and I'm already married to him, isn't he afraid of committing bigamy?!"
"What kind of law are you talking to the deceased? Generally speaking, the underworld marriage is to look at the other party's birth date, and then throw the god cup to ask the deceased's wishes, and both parties agree that the underworld marriage can be carried out. But you also know that now it is difficult to even marry the living, let alone the dead, so some extreme people have no choice but to resort to shady tricks, that is: corpses with living people. ”
When Bai Yitian heard this, he suddenly felt a chill in his back.
The mere combination of corpses and corpses made him feel unbelievable and creepy, not to mention this kind of heavy-tasting behavior of corpses with living people. He feels that marriage should not be seen as a task that has to be completed, but as a life choice, and you and I can only be happy.
Ms. Chen also gasped when she heard this, and Bai Yitian felt that it was a matter of minutes for her to faint.
Ye Xi continued: "If you want a corpse to match a living person, you generally need to tie the deceased's personal belongings, birth date and underworld marriage contract together and throw them on the street, and then let the deceased choose their favorite characters to achieve the matching of the underworld marriage. If I'm not mistaken, Zeng Taikui was chosen by the dead and taken away. ”
