Chapter 13: The Marriage Contract...

I walked over and ripped off the quilt, when I ripped off the quilt and almost scared me to death, lying on my bed was the paper beauty, her thick eyebrows and big eyes were still wide, her lips were red and her teeth were white and she was staring at me with a smile......

I screamed in fright and sat up from the darkness, my body covered in cold sweat and wet from the bedding.

Dreams, dreams again.

It was dark in the room, and I was really scared of the paper woman lying next to me, so I went to touch the light switch by the door. The electric light in the old house in the mountain village is the kind of rope pulling, I trembled and touched it for a long time before I touched it, and after turning it on, I was relieved after scanning the room.

I didn't feel sleepy, and I didn't dare to sleep anymore.

But it was already dawning, and it was estimated that the neighbors in the village had come for breakfast, so I got up and went out, and the candles in the mourning hall had been burned, and when I stood at the gate, I found that a table was set up in the courtyard.

The paper figures leaning against the corner of the wall were gone, but I saw that the opposite side was also setting up a table for breakfast, the scene was a bit funny, here was a funeral banquet, and that there was a wedding banquet.

It was also the first time I saw the bride opposite, wearing a show costume and a dragon and phoenix gown toasting with the groom, and I could see that the atmosphere on the other side was not very good.

At this time, my mother came out of another room opposite the hall, her complexion was good, and when I had breakfast, my mother told me that I would burn some paper money for Mr. Yang when I was done, I didn't sleep well last night, and my head was dizzy.

My mother didn't eat a few bites before entering the house again, and when breakfast was eaten, the yard was deserted, and in the morning the village had to do farm work, and after eating, she dispersed.

After I finished eating, I went into the hall and squatted down in front of the coffin to burn paper, and I didn't think much about it at the time, these are all customs in my hometown, just go through the process.

However, when I burned half of it, there was a "pop", and the image hanging on the coffin fell directly in front of me, and the black and white image impartially crushed the paper money I had just burned in the porcelain basin.

And Old Man Yang's face happened to be facing me, and his wrinkled face faintly revealed a hint of a smile that seemed to be a smile, and I was suddenly frightened in my heart.

At this time, someone next to me saw it and quickly picked it up and hung it up, I don't know why my heart was beating fast, there was no wind just now, and the good image fell off.

And it happened to be when I burned the paper.

There was an old man surnamed Xu in our village, who was abused by his daughter-in-law when he was alive.

On the day of his death, his daughter-in-law couldn't light the paper, and that night when the old man Xu's daughter-in-law was worshipping incense in front of the mourning hall, the portrait also fell, and it was impartially smashed on his daughter-in-law's head.

I was a little panicked, my back was cold for a moment, I thought it was because Old Man Yang didn't want to see me and didn't want me to burn paper for him.

My mother told me on the way that when I was young, Mr. Yang often came to visit me, and every time I came, he carried eggs and some delicious things, and my relationship with his grandson was also mentioned by Mr. Yang.

Just as I was standing in a daze, my mother called out to me at the door next to me, smiled and beckoned me to let me into the house.

I didn't continue to think about it, and followed my mother into the backyard room, there were not many people in the house, all of them were immediate members of the Yang family, and there was an old woman with gray hair sitting in the middle of the back room.

"This is your mother-in-law Zhou!"

My mom introduced me to me. I affectionately called out to Granny Zhou to the gray-haired old lady, who nodded at me with a smile.
