Chapter Seventy-Eight: Night Marriage
The night is hazy, August in the north has begun to bring a little coolness, and unlike in the big cities, the residents of Qingshi Town will either sleep at home and watch TV after nine o'clock in the evening, or simply invite some friends to play mahjong and gamble all night, and basically no one will walk and wander on the street.
But Jiang Wei at this time was an exception, staying not far from Hu Yun's fortune, it had been nearly three hours, and his strong curiosity made him not feel bored at all.
Because, basically, every half hour, the old man would come back to report the situation to him.
"Jiang Wei, it seems that they are coming out, you hide first and don't let them see it."
As soon as nine o'clock passed, the old man immediately came back to remind Jiang Wei.
And Jiang Wei also knew that what he was doing was not visible, especially among those people, there were still people who could recognize his identity, so as soon as he heard that the other party was about to come out, he immediately found a dark corner that was difficult for people to detect, but could be easily monitored.
When he had just hidden, he saw the gate of Hu Yun's fortune coming, and a team of more than a dozen people walked out slowly.
Among these people, there are men and women, and the leader is Liao Yong, at this moment, he is holding a photo frame surrounded by red cloth, and he can vaguely see that there is a young man in the frame.
"It seems that the person in the photo is Hu Shenglong, who has been dead for three years."
Due to the distance and the dim light, Jiang Wei couldn't see the appearance of the man in the photo clearly, but according to his guess, nine times out of ten it was Hu Yunfa's dead son.
These people didn't speak, and after going out, they walked straight to the southwest, and when they saw them walking away, Jiang Wei followed them from a distance.
At first, it was a solid and flat concrete road, but after walking for more than ten minutes, the road became a rugged mountain road with uneven heights.
The further you go, the more desolate the scenery becomes, and the scattered houses on both sides of the road gradually become less and less until they disappear completely.
The wind whistled, and the nighthawk's chirping echoed from time to time, and the branches and leaves of the trees rattled, and something seemed to flash in the grass, and the dead grass on the ground swayed continuously.
In the farms on both sides of the road, large and small dirt bags can be seen everywhere, and occasionally a pair of incomplete spirit flags can be seen swaying back and forth with the breeze, and these dirt bags are the graves of the nearby villagers burying the dead.
The team of people in front was still moving forward unhurriedly, and Jiang Wei, who was following behind, looked at the slightly gloomy environment around him, and his heart was calm.
After all these days of training, he is basically immune to this environment.
It's just that what makes him feel strange is that, judging from what he knows, the other party secretly transported the bride who held the yin wedding from other places a few days ago, but until this time, he didn't see a trace, and he didn't know if it had been buried at the destination in advance.
Moreover, since the wedding was scheduled for the night, it seemed that the other party had not prepared anything except for a photo with a red cloth, which was also abnormal.
With doubts, Jiang Wei continued to follow behind them until he walked into a remote and desolate mountain recess before he saw the other party and his group stop.
There is a small mud house here, which looks very dilapidated and I don't know what it is used for, and not far from the house, a tomb made of bricks and stones stands out.
Choosing a hidden bush with a clear vision, Jiang Wei hid and quietly watched the development of the situation.
At this time, Liao Yong's heart was already full of fear, whether it was the surrounding environment or what they were going to do, it all stimulated his fragile nerves at all times.
If it weren't for the presence of his father, and a group of people behind him, maybe he would have fled, Rao is so, and the cold sweat that keeps breaking out still wets his back.
"Uncle...... Uncle, what are we going to do next? ”
Unable to stand the quiet and strange atmosphere around him, Liao Yong broke the silence first and asked in a trembling voice.
Hu Yunfa did not answer, but turned his head in the direction where Mr. Guo was.
"Mr. Guo, I'll bother you to arrange it next."
"Hmm."
And the middle-aged man known as Mr. Guo was not polite, and as soon as he agreed, he walked out of the crowd, looked back and forth around, and raised his wrist from time to time to take a look at the time.
After a few moments, the crowd saw him walking with incomprehensible steps on his feet, muttering something in his mouth, and began to circle the grave.
The process didn't last long, and after about two or three minutes, he stopped moving, and the muttering in his mouth stopped abruptly, and then turned into a high-pitched shout.
"The auspicious time has come, open the grave."
It seemed that he had been prepared for a long time, and among the group of people standing behind Hu Yunfa, four middle-aged people with red ribbons wrapped around their right arms came out.
These people did not speak, but entered the earthen house next to them, took out iron pickaxes and shovels painted with red paint, and began to dig hard against the mound in front of them.
Jiang Wei, who was hiding in the distance, didn't know why, but he was not in a hurry, but continued to quietly observe the movements of these people.
About half an hour later, with the joint efforts of the four of them, the grave bag made from the turning head base was also completely dug up, and next to the coffin, which was already somewhat decayed, a long pit more than a meter wide was expanded.
At this time, under Mr. Guo's arrangement, Liao Yong, who was holding the photo frame with a nervous face, walked slowly towards the earthen house, and the four people who were digging the grave just now also put down the tools in their hands and followed behind him.
A group of five people entered it, and after a while, Liao Yong, who was full of fear, took the lead in walking out, and the four people who had just followed them carried a bright red coffin like blood, and walked out slowly, and above this coffin, there was also a photo of a young girl.
This scene was extremely weird, and Jiang Wei, who was hiding not far away, couldn't help but shudder.
"It turns out that the bride they married today has been hidden here, but I don't know what the identity of the woman they put in the coffin is, looking at her appearance, she seems to be quite young, and how did they transport such a corpse here."
As the most important day of a woman's life, there is no firecrackers, the excitement of suona, and the blessings of friends and laughter, everything is going on silently.
The moment the red coffin was lifted out, as if echoing the unwillingness of the people in the coffin, a sudden gust of wind blew suddenly in this silent mountain recess.
This was followed by a crying and sobbing sound, which reached the ears of everyone present.
