In those days, I was very nervous every night. Even though I was so sleepy that I couldn't open my eyes, I still had to hold on until the first rays of sunlight came in the morning.

Almost a week later, my body fully recovered, and Mengyue went to work normally. A person at home has nothing to do and contacted the company, although he is a normal leave, but as a veteran of the company, he should call regularly to report the situation.

Last night, after I saw the chapter that Cheng Long had just updated, I immediately called this kid. I was particularly interested in the secret marriage depicted in his story, so by noon we went back to the hot pot restaurant again.

The hot pot was steaming between me and him, and he was eating the piece of frozen tofu in front of him with a satisfied face, and looking at the way this kid gobbled up, he always thought that he hadn't eaten for three or four days.

I put down the chopsticks in my hand and smiled at him, "Don't patronize and eat, you answered my question." ”

He took a bite of the steaming tofu and said, "What do you want me to say, I wrote everything about the secret marriage in the novel, and you can't read it yourself." ”

"No, there must be your interpretation in that story, I want to know what the real secret marriage looks like."

With that, the boy looked up at me and asked, "What's the matter...... Do you have an idea? ”

I waved my hand and smiled, "Don't think about it, I'm just curious." ”

"The specific customs of this marriage vary from place to place. To the south, the focus is on bone union, that is, the ashes of two people together. ”

"Then if one is still alive, give it to another dead man......"

"That's easy, buy a paper figure that has been lit up, write the eight characters of the living person's generation on the back of the paper figure, and then drip the blood on the center of the paper figure's feet. After burning, just combine the ashes with the ashes of the dead man. ”

I nodded slightly, thinking that this method was quite humane, and the whole process was not so bloody.

"What about the underworld marriage in the north?"

"This ghost marriage in the north is very different from that in the south, the north does not advocate cremation, so there is no such thing as a combined bone, but it requires the bones of two people to be buried together."

"Then the secret marriage in your story is ......"

"In the eyes of northerners, if the living person is buried directly, the yang energy on the living person will break the aura of the cemetery. In order not to destroy Feng Shui, the married person can only be given to death in advance and then dismembered. ”

"Dismemberment?"

Cheng Long nodded and continued, "After dismemberment, the part of this person's body will be directly incinerated, but her head and self-control will be pierced on a scarecrow, and this scarecrow with a human body will be buried with the deceased. ”

I nodded thoughtfully, but my mind was full of what I had seen in the cellar that stormy night, and it was terrible.

"Aren't they afraid of retribution for such a hurtful thing?"

Speaking of this, Cheng Long smiled bitterly, "Think about it, but whoever rests on evil arts can have a good death, and who can live a glorious life?" ”

"And where did you hear all these stories?"

"Oh...... When I used to live in the village, there was a goddess at the head of the village......"

"And where is the village where you used to live?"

"It's an urban village, just near the university town...... When I came from our hometown, I lived there for a few years. ”

When I think of college students, I suddenly chuckled in my heart. His uncle wouldn't be so coincidental, and that weird old lady instantly appeared in my head. After eating, I forcibly dragged the boy to the urban village.

This nightmare has tormented me for so long, and I'm going to have to figure it out anyway, especially if it wasn't a dream.

After driving for more than ten minutes, I parked the car at the door of Li Xiaoxiao. I looked at the place where the nightmare reappeared, and I couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"Why don't you leave, the village is still ahead."

"By the way, Long Long, is the goddess you are talking about the one who bent over and hunched over?"

Cheng Long nodded and said, "Yes, it is said that every time this retribution comes, her waist will be lowered by one point, until her head is knocked down......"

I really didn't listen to the second half of Cheng Long's words, because just as my car stopped at this door, I saw a familiar face passing by in front of my car door. The man's face was pale, but I could see a faint haze on his face.

That's right, this man is the young man who "died" in my hands that day. I stared at him as he passed by my car door, only to see him suddenly smile weirdly at me.

That weird smile made the hairs stand on end, and before I could react, he collapsed in front of my car door.

"Bad ......"

I screamed, and then I rolled down the window, only to see the young man leaning against my door, slumped on the floor. He was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, but his stomach was red with blood.

"What's wrong?"

I turned my head to look at Cheng Long beside me, and said in a low voice, "That person died just now......

Since he was leaning against my door, I couldn't open the door at all. Cheng Long and I had no choice but to get out of the co-pilot's seat, and Cheng Long stepped forward to look at the corpse lying on the ground and said in surprise, "This is ...... Isn't this the son of the goddess? ”

He frowned tightly and lifted the clothes from the man's stomach. I saw that the flesh on his stomach was intact, but a collapsed hole could be faintly seen. And even as we undressed him, we could even see blood seeping out of his stomach from time to time.

"What should I do?"

"I think he should have been tricked in this situation, hurry up and help him into the car, I know where the goddess is."

To be honest, I really didn't like to take him in the car, and I didn't want to see the goddess. But it was obvious that Cheng Long didn't know the story, and then he helped the person directly to my back seat.

The village was right next to it, and after about five or six minutes' drive, we arrived at the door of the goddess's house. My car had just stopped, but I saw the old lady running out with an anxious face.

And when she saw the person in our passenger seat, her whole face suddenly became solemn and hideous.

"It's time to come...... It's still coming. ”
