Vol.4 Secret Marriage and Remarriage (9)
After all, Xiaohui's mother still agreed.
She couldn't resist Xiaohui's determination to find death and life to threaten, although she was reluctant to let her daughter suffer that grievance, but she was even more afraid that her daughter would stubbornly choose to die, after all, she could only agree.
Aunt He was not selfish, but Xiaohui's insistence made her only do what she wanted.
Prepare the props that should be prepared, at twelve o'clock at midnight on the first seven, the night of Ah Fang's ghost return, it is when Xiaohui marries a wife.
The wedding dress has been prepared for a long time, fiery red, embroidered with a golden phoenix, which was made by Aunt He a long time ago with a skillful tailor, saying that it was prepared for their future daughter-in-law.
Seventh night, around ten o'clock.
Xiaohui put on the brand-new wedding dress and sat alone in the courtyard.
She was already fair-skinned, but she was made whiter and whiter by the sprinkled red, but she looked a little pale and bloodless. There was no smile on her face, no tears, she was waiting quietly, waiting for a soul to come and pick her up.
Aunt He and Xiaohui and her mother sat in the hall, and the two of them stared at Xiaohui with gloomy eyes, waiting for one, they didn't know the future.
If there is no accident in Ah Fang, this little couple will find a good day and an auspicious day to get married, live together justifiably, and have a big fat boy next year, how good it would be, but unfortunately, life is irreversible, and many things are not effective at all.
Xiaohui's face had no expression, saying that it was impossible not to be afraid, even if Ah Fang was her closest person and became a ghost, she would be so scared that she couldn't stand it, not to mention that she and Ah Fang were not so familiar. At this moment, Xiaohui is just trying to make herself look as calm as possible, that's all.
The night is getting darker and darker, the time is already half past eleven at midnight, and there is still half an hour to reach the legendary first seven, that is, the night of the soul.
Sou......
There was a gust of wind blowing in the yard, and the cold made Xiaohui shiver, Xiaohui and her mother were in poor health, and she was already a little sleepy when she was blown by the wind, shrunk her neck, and was in good spirits.
Aunt He had a premonition that her son, Ah Fang, was about to appear.
"Quack! Wail! ”
But an old crow suddenly roared at this time!
Xiaohui was startled, she looked around in horror, and her lips turned purple.
"Dear...... In-laws......"
Xiaohui opened her mouth tremblingly, she wanted to ask if Ah Fang was back.
Mrs. He lightly "shh The locust tree is yin, and on the first seven days, the newly dead ghosts who cannot find a home will lodge on the nearest locust tree or willow tree and other shady trees, until 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, they can come down from the tree and find their home along the soul-attracting road made of rice. If there is no way, there is no problem with the guidance of ghosts, I am afraid, I am afraid, more and more people are dying in these years, and the ghosts are too busy to take care of these, and when the time comes, the souls will not be able to find a home, and the resentment is too heavy, and they will hold their breath and become evil ghosts, which is an extremely troublesome thing.
Fortunately, Aunt He eats this bowl of yin and yang rice, of course, the formal problem will not be difficult for her, as long as Ah Fang returns to her soul at twelve o'clock at midnight, and has a heart, everything will be completely calm.
Aunt He's thoughts drifted farther and farther, and with the memory returned to Ah Fang's childhood, Ah Fang's naughtiness, Ah Fang's cleverness, Ah Fang's cleverness, and Ah Fang's everything......
At this moment, a strong wind rose from the flat ground in the courtyard, and the two white candles that lit Xiaohui's left and right flickered twice and went out!
"It's coming!" Aunt He drank softly in a low voice, and a handful of sweat broke out in her palms.
Xiao Hui and her mother trembled, and looked at Xiao Hui who was sitting in the middle of the courtyard with round eyes, only to see that Xiao Hui was already trembling like chaff at this time, although she couldn't see her expression clearly when she turned her back to the hall, but everyone knew that Xiao Hui must be very frightened in her heart.
"Bang...... Snap ......"
A heavy and slow footsteps were approaching Xiaohui, although the footsteps were clear, there was no figure at all!
This fear is unknown and cannot be avoided! Xiaohui could even see that the rice-paved soul-attracting road brought in from outside the courtyard had been trampled by a pair of invisible feet, but she couldn't see it! Nothing can be seen!
It's horrible!
If it weren't for the presence of the eldest lady and her mother behind her, Xiaohui would have fainted with fright, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Xiaohui had already felt a cold wind sneaking into her nose......
"Xiaohui...... I've come to see you......"
"Ahh
With an exclamation, Xiaohui fainted......
Early the next morning, the third and outer three floors of Aunt He's courtyard were blocked by onlookers.
The villagers were chattering, their faces full of horror and curiosity.
"Did you hear that? Yesterday, Sister He held a secret marriage for her son! A villager stared at the hall of Mrs. He's house sourly, his face wrinkled as if he had eaten a sour orange.
"Marriage is not terrible, what is terrible is ......" Another villager stuck his head over, deliberately pretending to be cautious, in fact, wishing that more people would listen to him, the better.
However, before he could finish speaking, Aunt He walked out of the hall with a tired face.
The village chief skimmed Aunt He's face, sighed and stepped forward to ask, "Sister He, I heard Xiaozhuang's mother say that there was movement in your yard last night, I don't know what happened?" ”
Aunt He pursed her lips, thinking a little self-deprecatingly, for so many years, she doesn't know how many things she has done to be kind to these ten miles and eight towns, and she has never seen so many people come to see her during the New Year's holidays.
The village chief was a little embarrassed when he saw that Aunt He didn't speak, he cleared his throat, lowered his voice and said softly: "That...... Sister He, don't worry about it, Xiaozhuang's mother lives next door to your house, and she ran to find me because she was worried...... No, the big guys are here to see if there's anything they can do to help! ”
Aunt He still couldn't help sneering, she glanced at the crowd around Wuyang and Wuyang, and wanted to get angry but knew the truth that the law does not blame the public, so she could only swallow her anger and respond: "I'm fine, let's disperse......"
"Then yesterday ......" The village chief wanted to know the truth, the ghost cried wolf in the middle of the night, and the whole village heard it clearly, and he still needed Xiaozhuang's mother to come over and say, the village chief rushed over early in the morning to inquire about it.
Aunt He didn't want to mention last night's incident, she pursed her lips and didn't know how to deal with these boring people, just when she was sluggish, suddenly a young man broke out of the hall, stared at her eyes and shouted: "It's all scattered for me!" Don't bully my mother! ”
