Chapter 170: Black Wedding
Zhang Ling and the old man looked at each other like this, and there was surprise in the eyes of both sides, Zhang Ling was surprised that the dead qi on the old man's body did not belong to him, and those dead qi floated on the surface of the body, not like the dead qi of the dying person from the inside to the outside of the body.
"The smell of the earth!"
Zhang Ling smelled a familiar earthy smell on the old man's body, and he had smelled this breath on the old man's body before.
Looking at the thin and short old man in front of him, coupled with the earthy smell and the smell of the dead on his body, Zhang Ling could be very sure that this old man must be an old gopher.
He finally understood why the Tan family was so low-key, this kind of person who made a fortune was already extremely damaging to Yin Virtue, and if he made it public, he would be punished by God.
The old man's eyes when he looked at Zhang Ling had changed from surprise to fear, and he looked at Zhang Ling nervously and said something that was incomprehensible.
"Are you, here to take me away?"
Hearing the old man's words, Zhang Ling and the others all looked at each other, and Dong Ziqing looked at the old man with a stunned face and said, "Grandpa Tan, what's wrong with you?" ”
The old man was unaware of Dong Ziqing's questioning, but just looked at Zhang Ling blankly, his body trembling slightly.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Zhang Ling had no choice but to smile and say, "Mr. Tan, I think you must have recognized the wrong person, I'm just a friend of Miss Dong, and I'm here to attend the wedding!" ”
Hearing Zhang Ling's explanation, the old man seemed to be relieved, and after he looked at Zhang Ling twice, he reluctantly smiled: "Hehe...... So, take a seat! ”
With the doubts in their hearts, everyone sat down on the left side of the old man, and just sat down, Lu Mingxuan, who was sitting next to Zhang Ling, poked him and asked, "What's the situation?" ”
"I don't know, but this old man is a native man!"
"What? Tomb robbers? Lu Mingxuan let out a low cry of surprise
Hearing Lu Mingxuan's shout, Dong Ziqing, who was sitting on the other side of Zhang Ling, leaned over and asked, "What's wrong?" Is something wrong? ”
Zhang Ling smiled and waved his hand and said, "It's okay!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged man on the stage said again: "Welcome to take the time to come to the wedding of the little girl Tan Xinyu, I am here to express my heartfelt thanks to you on behalf of me and my father!" ”
After speaking, he bowed to the guests in the audience, and the old man sitting at the front also stood up with the support of the two attendants and hugged his fists at the people behind him.
Looking at the man speaking on the stage, Zhang Ling asked Dong Ziqing, "Ziqing, why didn't you see your family?" ”
"Oh, my uncle is accompanying Zilong in the back, that guy is a little nervous today!"
Zhang Ling said with a smile: "This is inevitable, after all, this kind of scene will make anyone nervous!" ”
Just as the two were talking, the man on the stage, that is, Tan Xinyu's father, Tan Yaoting said loudly: "Here is my son-in-law, the groom Mr. Rong Zilong!" ”
Under the warm applause of everyone, Rong Zilong, accompanied by a short and fat man, walked to the front of the stage along the arch made of flowers and vines.
At this time, Rong Zilong was dressed very handsomely, but he was a little nervous, and his hands kept raising and putting down, as if he didn't know where to put it.
Facing Rong Zilong's uneasiness, Tan Yaoting beckoned him to his side, and then he looked at the guests in the audience and joked: "Hehe, it seems that our protagonist is a little nervous at the moment, why don't we interview him about his thoughts at the moment!" ”
Tan Yaoting's words made all the guests in the audience laugh, and Rong Zilong also calmed down a lot under Tan Yaoting's encouraging eyes.
He walked up to the microphone and whispered, "Hello everyone, I'm glad that you can come to my wedding with Xinyu......
"Hey, your cousin is too nervous, doesn't he feel very pressured to marry a wealthy daughter!" Zhang Ling looked at Dong Ziqing and said with a smile
Dong Ziqing looked at Rong Zilong on the stage and said: "He is like that, he is nervous when he arrives in a crowded place, when he used to go to school, once the teacher asked him to read an essay in front of him, and he was nervous for a long time before finishing a sentence." ”
After the two finished speaking, Rong Zilong on the stage finally ended his speech and stood beside Tan Yaoting.
Tan Yaoting said to the guests in the audience: "The next person who is about to appear is our gentlest and most beautiful girl today - the bride Tan Xinyu!" ”
With a burst of warm applause and soft music, Tan Xinyu slowly walked through the arch and came to the front of the stage under the guidance of two flower girls.
Today's Tan Xinyu looks particularly beautiful, and her well-cut wedding dress highlights her graceful figure to the fullest.
She leaned on Rong Zilong's side with a happy face, and Rong Zilong's hand showed a faint smile.
Looking at the pair of beautiful people on the stage, Zhang Ling looked at He Qiaoxin beside him, and began to fantasize about what they would look like when they got married.
Suddenly, a rush of footsteps interrupted Zhang Ling's thoughts, and he saw four servants of the Tan family carrying a huge gift box wrapped in colored paper and bows into the wedding scene.
Everyone present was attracted by this huge gift, and they all pointed to the gift box and turned their heads to each other.
The gift box was placed on the lawn in front of the ceremony, and one of the servants carrying the box quickly ran to the front of the ceremony and handed a white greeting card in his hand to Tan Yaoting.
Tan Yaoting also looked at the gift box in front of him in surprise and took the card handed over by the servant, he opened the card, only to see that it was written in Chinese: "Tan Gongan is good, Wen Ling Qianjin is married today, specially prepare a thin gift, and ask Tan Gong to smile!" ”
The words are written vigorously and powerfully, and at first glance they are written by a man, but strangely, there is no name left on this greeting card.
After staring at the greeting card for a while, he raised his head and smiled: "I don't know which old friend gave Tan a surprise, and he hasn't left a name yet!" ”
As he spoke, he stepped off the stage and smiled at the guests present: "I know that everyone is curious about what gifts are in here, in fact, I am also curious!" ”
Tan Yaoting's humor made everyone laugh again, and he looked at the gift box and grabbed the ribbon tied to it and ripped it off.
He then began to tear at the wrappers that were wrapped around the outside, and when he tore them open, a wooden box about 2 meters long and 1.5 meters wide was revealed.
Seeing the box, the doubts in Tan Yaoting's heart became even stronger, and he raised his head and smiled at the guests.
He motioned for the servant to open the crucified wooden box, and soon the servant brought a crowbar to open it.
When the lid of the wooden box was lifted and the contents were displayed in front of everyone, the original surprise immediately turned into a fright!
With a burst of screams, the guests present immediately became commotion, and Zhang Ling followed Old Man Tan to the wooden box.
Zhang Ling glanced into the box and was stunned for a moment, only to see a withered yellow skeleton fixed to a tattered coffin board with a rope.
The skeleton was dressed in a shabby robe and a jade-encrusted melon skin hat on its head, and it was obvious that the skeleton had been buried for at least a few decades.
Just when Zhang Ling was looking at the skeleton in a daze, Old Man Tan suddenly fainted with a strange scream.
As Old Man Tan fainted, the scene immediately got out of control, and the Tan family couldn't take care of the wedding, so they were all rushing to rescue Old Man Tan.
"Zilong, Xinyu, you send the guests away!"
"Yes, Dad!"
"Jeffrey, hurry up and call Dr. Meng over!"
"Yes, sir!"
"You guys, get this thing away!"
"Sir, are you going to throw it away?"
Tan Yaoting glanced at the withered yellow skeleton and thought for a moment, "No, put it in the utility room first!" ”
"Yes!"
Tan Yaoting's calmness surprised Zhang Ling a little, and the middle-aged man in front of him seemed to be more unfathomable than Zhang Ling imagined.
The joy brought by Rong Zilong and Tan Xinyu's wedding was completely replaced by panic and panic, and they couldn't imagine who would do such an outrageous thing at their wedding.
However, Rong Zilong is a man after all, he regained some composure after a short period of panic, he walked up to Zhang Ling and the others and said: "I'm really sorry, let a few people be frightened, when things settle down here, I will definitely take Xinyu to visit!" ”
Zhang Ling hurriedly held his hand and said: "Don't say that, I believe that the saddest thing about today's matter is you, if there is anything I can help, just say it!" ”
"Thank you, Brother Zhang, I will definitely say if you need help!"
"Okay, then we won't bother and take our leave!"
At this time, Dong Ziqing, who was following aside, said: "I'll send you!" ”
Zhang Ling said goodbye to Rong Zilong and his wife again, and followed Dong Ziqing to the door of the Tan family's mansion.
When he came to the parking place, Zhang Ling looked at Dong Ziqing, who had been silent all the way, and said, "Ziqing, if you need help, you must call me, we will rush back as soon as possible!" ”
"Yes, I will. I'm sorry today! Dong Ziqing said very apologetically to Zhang Ling and the others
"It's too much for you to say that, we are all friends, what is there to be embarrassed about between friends!"
After Zhang Ling finished speaking, he patted Dong Ziqing's shoulder and said, "Go back and have a good rest, don't think nonsense!" ”
"Yes! Brother Zhang, go slowly! ”
……
Leaving the Tan family's mansion, sitting in the car, Lu Mingxuan looked at Zhang Ling and asked, "I said Lao Zhang, today's things are too weird!" People get married and send human bones, this is really too much! ”
Qi Dapeng, who was sitting on the side, said, "Have you noticed, the old man of the Tan family had a very strange expression before he passed out!" ”
"Strange? What do you mean? Zhang Ling really didn't pay attention to the old man's situation, all his attention was focused on the bones.
Qi Dapeng glanced at everyone and said, "He seems to know that skeleton!" ”
"What?"
Except for Zhang Ling, everyone else screamed in surprise after hearing it, this was simply the most unbelievable thing they had ever heard.
Hearing Qi Dapeng's words, a strange thought suddenly flashed in Zhang Ling's mind, but he missed the point.
After pondering for a while, Zhang Ling slowly raised his head and said, "Forget it, no matter what weirdness there is here, it's also someone's family matter, let's wait and see what happens!" ”
"Well, I agree with Brother Zhang's opinion, there seem to be a lot of hidden secrets in this matter, so it's better for us to interfere less."
Back at home, He Qiaoxin instructed Eric to prepare dinner for everyone, and after this farce, she was not in the mood to cook.
Soon Eric had prepared the dinner, which had not been eaten since noon, so the meal was exceptionally sweet and swept away the sumptuous food on the table.
"Hiccup!"
Zhang Ling burped without a smile, he slowly stood up and said, "It's been a day of tossing, I'm also a little tired, go up and rest!" ”
After speaking, he took He Qiaoxin's hand and walked upstairs from the side, He Qiaoxin looked at the ambiguous eyes of everyone and hurriedly withdrew his hand and said, "If you are tired, go to sleep first, I will talk to them for a while!" ”
Zhang Ling knew that she was a little embarrassed, so he didn't force it, he just smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll go up first!" ”
At this time, Lu Mingxuan, who was sitting on the side, suddenly laughed and said, "Lao Zhang, there are many rooms here, why don't I find you a separate room?" ”
However, it was Zhang Ling's slippers that responded to Lu Mingxuan, which caused everyone to laugh, and as the protagonist of the incident, He Qiaoxin lowered his head a little embarrassed.
Back to He Qiaoxin's room, Zhang Ling plunged into the bed with He Qiaoxin's body fragrance, and fell asleep after a while.
……
"Bell bell bell ......"
"Bell bell bell ......"
A rapid phone ringing woke Zhang Ling from his sleep, and he opened his eyes to find He Qiaoxin lying beside him at some point, and she was burying her head in his arms at this time.
Zhang Ling carefully propped himself up, picked up the phone on the low table next to the bed and glanced at it, and he was stunned for a moment, only to see the three words Dong Ziqing displayed on the screen of the mobile phone, and this was a video call.
He subconsciously glanced at the time, it was already ten o'clock at night, and there was only one possibility to call so late, that is, something was wrong!
He hurriedly pressed the constantly flashing call button, and then saw Dong Ziqing's face appear on the screen.
At this time, her delicate face was full of fear, and she said in a very frightened tone: "Brother Zhang, something happened, come and save us!" ”
Dong Ziqing's sharp voice woke He Qiaoxin up, she slowly sat up and asked lazily, "What's wrong?" ”
"I don't know, it seems that something happened to Ziqing!"
At this moment, He Qiaoxin immediately came to her senses, and she also came to Zhang Ling's side to look at the frightened Dong Ziqing on the screen and asked, "Ziqing, what happened?" ”
"Crazy, Xinyu is crazy!"
Dong Ziqing's words made Zhang Ling completely confused, and he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, what happened?" You tell me! ”
Dong Ziqing didn't speak, but moved with the phone, she walked to the door, opened her door slightly, and then pointed the camera at the door.
I saw that not far from Dong Ziqing's room, Tan Xinyu was standing there in a pair of pajamas, and she was still holding a sharp knife in her hand, and there seemed to be blood flowing on the tip of the knife. (To be continued.) )
