The cool breeze at night, the large expanses of black wantonly spread across the sky, the lush bamboo forest under the moonlight tore off the dark shadows, gently swaying with the wind, it was close to the end of autumn, and the night was already a little chilly.

With a noisy suona sound, a group of relatives slowly marched through the woods.

The faint light flickered faintly in the darkness, reflecting several pale faces, and the leader held a white lantern, walking hurriedly, he was wearing a bright red wedding robe, and the dim light reflected his slightly haggard face.

The man was followed by a four-person sedan chair, which was wrapped in red silk and hung high on the curtain.

The four palanquin bearers carrying the sedan chair had dark faces, and the exposed arms were clearly textured, obviously strong men, but they were all pale and trembling, while looking around at the surrounding environment, they secretly peeked at the man walking in the front, with obvious fear in their eyes.

Behind the sedan chair were two people playing suona, and the sound of ticking slowly hovered over the silent forest, without a little joy, against the dark night, ghostly.

The man was so focused on walking with his head buried in his head that he ignored the palanquin man who was following closely behind him, and he raised his lantern to keep an eye on the potholed mountain road, while carefully watching the dead branches and weeds that blocked the road from time to time under his feet.

The woods were quiet in the middle of the night, except for this group of people, there was no other sound, the birds did not cry and the insects did not chirp, as if all the creatures in the forest were dead, and the silence was a little creepy.

At this time, a black shadow suddenly appeared from the side, which frightened everyone, and the sedan chair man sat on the ground with weak legs in fright, and the sedan chair suddenly lost its balance and fell to the ground with a bang. The brand-new red silk flowers on the car door scurled twice on the ground and stained with dirt. In the originally closed car door, a slender and thin red figure was thrown out.

A whirlwindly embroidered wedding dress, messily spread on the ground, the figure that fell to the ground was motionless, revealing a half-pale and bloodless neck, a small chin, red lips, eyes with thick eyelashes tightly closed, and a pale face, which was a corpse.

Seeing that the bride was thrown out, the palanquin drivers suddenly changed their faces, and knelt on the ground tremblingly, wailing for mercy, while desperately kowtowing to the groom.

The groom in a red wedding dress hurriedly ran to the bride's side, didn't look at the frightened palanquin man on the side, just stretched out his hand apologetically to pick the bride up from the ground, and moved softly as if he was afraid of waking up the beauty in his arms.

He carefully carried the bride into the sedan chair, tidied up the messy wedding dress for her, picked up the red silk flowers and patted the dust, and then returned to the front of the sedan chair. The big cat was standing in the middle of the road with its tail held high, staring at everyone coldly with round eyes.

The bridegroom walked up to it, looked at the three dead mice of the same size placed side by side on the ground, calmly removed the tightly wrapped cloth bag from the white horse, and took out a wad of paper money, a bowl, and a bottle with a slender mouth from it.

He put the bowl on the ground, there was no water in the bowl, but there was a small fish lying quietly in it, he glanced at the small fish, carefully poured the sesame oil in the bottle, the small fish that was motionless suddenly came to life, swimming freely in the sesame oil.

The black cat barked, and its thin voice pierced its heart like a steel fork, making people shudder. It circled around the bowl twice, lowered its head and began to **** the sesame oil inside with satisfaction.

The black cat licked very slowly, a leisurely look, the groom while paying attention to its movements, while looking up at the sky from time to time, the look on his face slowly became a little anxious, his expression was solemn staring at the black cat, wanting to urge but a little hesitant.

Everyone stared at the black cat nervously, and they didn't dare to come out.

The black cat slowly licked the sesame oil, and swallowed the small fish whole in the last bite, and the moment the small fish entered the stomach, the three dead mice that were originally placed on the ground suddenly turned into a puff of green smoke and disappeared without a trace.

The black cat raised its head, stared at the groom with a cold gaze, paused, and then slowly wagged its tail to make way.

Knowing that this level was over, the groom's hanging heart fell to the ground, and he watched the black cat leave, before waving to the palanquin drivers and ordering to move on.

The palanquin bearers were frightened but could only do as they were told, and walked along the wooded path for a long distance, when they saw a wooden bridge appear in front of them.

When they got closer, the palanquin drivers stopped, and everyone looked at the wooden bridge that was obviously fine during the day, but now they were suddenly washed away by the suddenly rising river, and they couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

This stream is only a few zhang wide, usually the water is not more than the knee, but now it has become a turbulent water, the black water surface at a glance, it is bottomless, seeing that it is impossible to pass by wading alone, everyone suddenly has no idea, and their eyes fall helplessly on the groom.

The groom looked at the water in front of him, waved his hand to everyone to stop the sedan chair, walked to the river, muttered words in his mouth, finished speaking, took out a handful of things from his arms and threw them directly to the river. After a while, countless black shadows suddenly floated on the surface of the river, densely packed with the sound of breaking water.

A few palanquin men had the courage to look at it, and when they saw the scene of the river, they couldn't help but gasp, and they didn't know what was going on in the river, and suddenly floated many basin-sized Wang Ba, one next to the other, and the river surface was filled at a glance, forming a pontoon bridge several meters wide.

The groom took the lead in stretching out his feet to test the hardness, and felt that it was okay, so he slowly stood up, stomped his feet, made sure it was safe, and then turned back and beckoned everyone to follow him across the river.

Seeing that they had reached the exit of the woods, everyone was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, when they saw the bamboo vines that had been erected quietly suddenly rising from the ground, crossing to block the way, muttering and muttering strange sounds, like human language and like children crying, everyone suddenly turned pale and their legs trembled and choked with fright.

The groom walked closer, listened intently for a while, looked up at the moonlight, couldn't help but change his face, and scolded angrily: "My business, it's not your turn to talk nonsense as a brute." After that, he directly took out a leather whip from his waist and smashed it on his head and face, splashing scarlet blood everywhere he went, and the bamboo vines blocking the way made a piercing grinding sound, and disappeared cleanly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This time, there was no need for the groom to urge again, everyone seemed to be chasing behind them, carrying the sedan chair and running out of the woods like crazy, the suona had already left, and later, there was only a heavy wheezing sound.

Finally got out of the woods, and saw the dotted lights in the distance, in front of which was Niujia Village, and when they saw the place, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In a large alley at the entrance of the village, the door is pasted with the word "happiness" in red, and white lanterns are hung along the way, and the shadows are full of shadows, gently swaying in the wind in the dark night, and the faint light floats in the air like a ghostly fire.

It was nearly midnight, and there were four tables in the courtyard full of lights, and the tables were full of melons, fruits and vegetables, and there were several people sitting at each table, but no one spoke out loud, and no one touched the food on the table, and the whole courtyard was very quiet, without the slightest sound.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of suona at the entrance of the village, and the welcoming team returned.

The suona stopped when it reached the door, the full moon just rose to the middle of the night sky, the groom looked up at the sky, obviously relieved, he walked quickly to the gate of the courtyard, and ordered the sedan chair drivers to get off the sedan chair.

The sedan chair drivers docked the sedan chair at the gate of the courtyard, and the groom bent down and picked up the sedan chair curtain with a wedding pole and carried the bride out from the inside.

The groom is wearing a bright red wedding robe, with red silk flowers tied on his chest, and the bride is tightly hugged by him, and the wide wedding dress firmly covers her whole person, and the stiff and hanging hands and feet shake gently with the groom's movements, and the wedding dress draws a festive red arc in the air.

There was a burning brazier at the entrance of the courtyard, and the groom walked over with his bride in his arms, and as soon as he raised his legs and stepped up, the flames of the original burning flame instantly seemed to be suppressed by something, and the flames were almost extinguished, until the groom's two feet stepped over, and then slowly burned again.

In one corner of the hall lay a cage, in which was a quiet monkey, which sat quietly, with its eyes open and motionless, until it saw the bridegroom come in with his bride in his arms, and suddenly became agitated, and clung to the cage with its two paws, and squeaked.

And the people who were originally sitting at the round table had already stood up with a solemn face.

The bridegroom was completely oblivious to the guests, and with a gentle movement, he placed the bride on the chair in the center of the hall, and turned his head and walked straight towards the monkey.

The groom walked up to the monkey and stopped, the monkey suddenly glared at him with a vigilant face, and screamed even more heartbreakingly, the groom suddenly raised a hand to cover his ears and steal the bell, took out the prepared things from his arms, and nailed them into the monkey's brain through the cage, and then stepped forward to open the cage door.

The moment the thing entered his mind, the monkey stopped screaming, paused, and got out of the cage blankly, standing on the ground and staring directly at the groom.

Someone next to him trembled and carried a rooster over, and when he got closer, he wiped the rooster's neck with a knife, and the chicken blood suddenly spilled out, and the man drenched the monkey with chicken blood, and the monkey suddenly twitched violently.

There were several frightened gasps in the courtyard, but the groom ignored them completely, and just returned to the bride and hugged her tightly.

The officiant was an old man, his gray beard trembled slightly, he looked at the groom's gestured gaze, and hurriedly began to read the letter of appointment, just a few lines of words, stumbling and stumbling after reading for a long time, finally finished reciting, he hurriedly raised his sleeve and quickly wiped off the sweat oozing from his forehead.

The wick of the oil lamp began to burn slowly, the flames slowly lengthened and made a sizzling sound, the cold light made the surroundings even whiter, the flames jumped twice quickly, and the bride's originally stiff body slowly softened, and after a while, she actually sat up by herself.
