Chapter 183: Marriage in the Church
"All hanged? Don't have a single live mouth? I handed Xiao Ding a slightly calming look and continued to ask.
"Nope!"
The driver shook his head and said, "Since then, the Zhou family's house has not been peaceful and has been empty!" β
"Did anyone die in the Zhou family's house later?" I asked.
"A few die every year!"
The driver was interested, took two more puffs of cigarette, and said: "My grandfather said that there will be wars everywhere, there are many people fleeing, and there are many beggars. β
"Knowing that if you enter the Zhou family's house, you will die, and you will go inside?" I asked, puzzled.
"The locals know, but how can the outsiders know?"
The driver snorted and said; "Besides, even if you know, what can you do? The coldest time in winter is more than 30 degrees below zero, staying outside is freezing to death, living in the Zhou family, maybe there is still such a glimmer of life, if it is me, I am so frozen that I have no choice, I have to go to the Zhou family's house! β
This is the truth, if you really want to force people to that role, what are you afraid of the haunted, even if you marry the ghost, you will admit it.
"And then?" I handed another cigarette.
The driver took the cigarette, did not light the light, borrowed the cigarette butt of the previous cigarette to snort the cigarette, took a beautiful puff, and said: "Later, just like that, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Zhou family's house stopped for a while, mainly because there was no escape, outsiders did not come, the locals all knew the situation of the Zhou family's house, no one went, naturally there would be no trouble!" β
"How have the last few years?" I asked.
"It's okay lately, I haven't heard of anything going on!" The driver thought for a while and said: "Brother, I can see it, you want to go to the old house of the Zhou family, don't think I'm nagging, as the saying goes, listen to people's advice to eat enough, you can't go to that place!" β
"We know it!" Lao Jiu came to a word.
"Yes, I didn't say it!" The driver took a puff of his cigarette.
I glared at Lao Jiu, turned to the driver and said, "Master, we estimate that we will have to stay in Longzhen for two days, leave a phone number, if something happens, we will ask you at any time!" β
"Okay!" The driver said happily.
After exchanging calls, we got out of the car.
The driver didn't actually say anything substantial, the only useful thing was that the Zhou family, with more than 30 members, hanged themselves overnight.
Recently, the driver didn't say it, and I don't know if he didn't know or didn't want to say it.
"Brother, when are we going to the Zhou family's house?"
Back in the car, Lao Jiu asked.
"Go now!"
I glanced out, it was getting dark, and this time was just right.
"Alright!"
Lao Jiu turned the head of the car and drove south.
"Brother, I don't think that driver is telling the truth!"
The car drove up, and Lao Jiu began to nag, "You didn't see it when we were eating, when you mentioned the Zhou family's house, from the proprietress to the customers who ate there, the face changed completely, something must have happened there!" β
"I know!"
At this point, I don't need Lao Jiu to say it, I also know that the driver seems to be talkative and has said a lot, but in essence, he didn't say anything!
"I want my money back!" Lao Jiu said.
"What do you want?"
If he hadn't been driving, I'd have to give it to him.
Giving money is a wish to fight and a wish, anyway, the driver also said some news about the ancient house of the Zhou family.
"That's it ahead!"
While speaking, the car had already driven to the edge of Longzhen, Xiao Ding pointed to a fork in front of him, and said, "Turn down from here, and walk more than a mile to arrive!" β
"That fork in the road, huh?"
Lao Jiu asked as he turned the corner and turned into a fork in the road.
The road under the fork in the road was poor, a potholed dirt road, and in a shaking, an old house came into view.
The Zhou family's house sits on a high slope, and this terrain just overlooks the entire Dragon Town.
"Damn, is this a turret or what?"
Seeing the first sight of the Zhou family's old mansion, Lao Jiu began to sigh.
Don't blame Lao Jiu for sighing, I was surprised when I saw it.
The photo that Xiao Ding showed us was the structure of the interior room, and he didn't tell us about the exterior shape of the Zhou family's house.
I originally thought that the ancient house of more than 100 years should be blue bricks and red tiles, carved railings and jade, full of ancient charm, but I didn't expect the fact to be the opposite.
Just as Xiao Ding said, the old mansion of the Zhou family, from the outside, is similar to the turret.
The outer wall is more than two meters high, and it is built with stone and cement barriers, and there are many square holes in the wall, which can be seen to be shooting holes.
Bullet marks can still be seen in many parts of the faΓ§ade, and there have been battles here.
The gate is not a normal vermilion gate, but a heavy iron gate with an inward depression on the iron gate, which should be bullet marks.
Lao Jiu drove around the Zhou family's old mansion, but he couldn't find any signs of collapse on the exterior wall.
From this point, it can be seen that more than 100 years ago, the people of the Zhou family did put their hearts into building the exterior wall.
After going around, Lao Jiu stopped in front of the main entrance.
The door was closed, but not locked.
I walked to the door and tried to push it, but it didn't push.
"My day!"
I was a little surprised that the door was heavier than I expected.
I slowly applied the force, and after using eighty percent of the force, the door was pulled by me and slowly opened.
"It's heavy, huh?"
Lao Jiu also came over and tried it, and after trying it, smash it, smash it.
"Hmm!"
I nodded, glanced at Xiao Ding, and said, "Let's go, lead the way!" β
"Hey!"
Xiao Ding walked to the front in a trembling manner, explaining as he walked.
The first courtyard is mainly the ear room, and the people who live are mainly the subordinates.
The second to live is the head of the Zhou family, as well as his wife and concubine.
In the third entry, the young lady and the maid of the Zhou family lived, and the concentric rope was found in the boudoir of the Zhou family.
All the way in, I didn't pay much attention to Xiao Ding's commentary, after all, the replay of his live broadcast is there, and I have already watched it once.
What I care about is the gaze that fell on me, and since I walked into the door of the Zhou family, several of us have been targeted.
The gaze came from many sources, some from overhead, and that gaze came from the edge of the porch above the gate.
There was one from the base of the wall, where in a trance we could see a figure standing with his back to us.
The calmest place is the boudoir of the Zhou family, where Xiaoding's concentric rope was found.
Miss Zhou's boudoir is very clean, even spotless, and there is a faint fragrance.
Not only that, but the furniture in the room is in good condition, such as the dresser, such as the bed.
It stands to reason that the Zhou family's house has been empty for a hundred years, and it shouldn't be like this, but this is the case, as if someone had cleaned it.
According to the information provided by Xiao Ding before, the Zhou family's house used to be the seat of the town government, I don't believe it, this room was not moved at all at that time.
Now that it moved, who restored the room to its original state?
"Brother, I found the concentric rope here!" Xiao Ding opened a drawer on the dresser, pointed to a wooden box inside, and said.
"Really?"
I walked over and opened the wooden box, which was empty and empty.
"Brother, I'm panicking, what should I do?" Xiao Ding pointed to the two arms around his neck and asked with a hint of crying.
"Cowardice!"
Lao Jiu gave Xiao Ding a kick.
"it!"
Before the foot could be withdrawn, Lao Jiu was frightened, and the woman on Xiao Ding's back turned her head sharply and looked at Lao Jiu.
"Don't talk!"
I stopped in front of Lao Jiu, staring at the cold eyes that I didn't know when they opened, and things seemed to be a little bigger.
Lao Jiu also knew that something was wrong, and stood behind me without saying a word.
Xiao Ding shuddered and froze in place.
I'm a little helpless, Xiao Ding is no longer a human being, and I also told him about his state and situation, but this thing is cowardice.
That's right, with his current situation, he really can't kill the one on his back, but he won't be afraid of being like this, you are a yin corpse, not a human being.
Anyway, the matter has come to this, there is no escape, I stared at those eyes, and said slowly: "Hello, can we talk?" β
It's still the same as the old three, to deal with this kind of ghost, it's best to talk about it first, and if it's not appropriate, you should consider solving it by force, and if you can't solve it by force, you can think about slipping away.
The one on Xiao Ding's back stared at me for a while, his mouth slowly opened, and he said, "Worship the church, get married!" β
The four words were spit out, and the hands holding Xiao Ding's neck tightened.
Xiao Ding's face was already white, but when he did this, it became even whiter.
"Don't you worship, won't you?" Lao Jiu stuck his head out from behind me and asked.
"Bang!"
As soon as the words came out, a yin wind blew out in all directions with Xiao Ding as the center, and the door was blown open suddenly, making a loud noise.
A cold breath came at the same time, digging into the cracks of my bones.
"Humph!"
I was so stimulated that I shivered, and it was so fucking hard.
Lao Jiu's trembling was even more obvious, and as soon as he was blown by this yin wind, he immediately retracted.
"Marry tonight, you witness!"
The female ghost looked up and spoke again.
Before and after, there are a total of two sentences, twelve words, and the female ghost on Xiao Ding's back said it very hard, but every word carries a sense of resentment.
I could feel the hatred in her voice.
Things seem to be a little wrong, it stands to reason that the female ghost is lying on Xiao Ding's back because Xiao Ding tied the concentric rope around his wrist.
The concentric rope represents the inseparability of life and life, that is to say, the concentric rope is tied, which means that Xiaoding is the husband chosen by the female ghost.
It's not just Xiao Ding, no matter who ties the concentric rope, they will be entangled by the female ghost.
The requirements of the female ghost are very simple, to marry and worship the church.
Under normal circumstances, if she is promised, the resentment will be released, and the fierce aura on the female ghost will be reduced.
Of course, if Xiao Ding is a living person, after marrying a female ghost, he will eventually die because of the disorder of yin and yang.
But Xiaoding is a dead man, once he gets married, he will not die.
This is one of them, and the other is that the driver said that after the Zhou family murder case, several people will die in this house every year, and there are more than ten of them.
After so many deaths, no one will marry this female ghost?
Looking at the appearance of the female ghost, it is clear that the resentment has accumulated for many years and cannot be released.
After a hundred years, the resentment on the female ghost is strong, and it is difficult to completely release it with conventional methods.
"Well, we witness!"
Anyway, let's get past the current hurdle first.
In my opinion, the female ghost in front of me is not much weaker than the green ghost in the sixty-eight, especially after returning to the Zhou family's house.
When I was in my shop, this female ghost was only as powerful as a ghost, but after returning here, her strength has skyrocketed.
I'm a little skeptical that it's the right thing to do here.
"Brother!"
Seeing that I agreed, Xiao Ding looked at me with a sad face.
I gave him a look back, and I will go through this level first.
Xiao Ding was silent, and the female ghost on her back didn't move, and she got back on her stomach again.
Lao Jiu and I glanced at each other, and that's it?
Worship the church to get married, you have to get off Xiaoding's back, right?
If you don't come down, how can you get married?
The female ghost still didn't move, just lying on Xiao Ding's back, putting her face on Xiao Ding's shoulder, wrapping her hands around Xiao Ding's neck, her eyes closed, the corners of her mouth slightly hooked, revealing a smile.
This expression, this demeanor, is completely different from before, this female ghost seems to enjoy the feeling of being on Xiao Ding's back.
She is like this, and I can't understand it anymore.
Lao Jiu was also very confused, the most difficult was Xiao Ding, he froze there, didn't dare to move, and was about to cry.
I glanced down at Qiqi, who was very steady in my arms and didn't say a word.
Facing my eyes, Qiqi opened his mouth and spit out a word: "Wait!" β
I'm also confused, what are you waiting for?
Can you give some hints?
I gave another look, and Qiqi closed his eyes, buried his head in my arms, and began to play dead.
I want to cry without tears, what the is going on?
"Brother, listen!"
At this moment, Lao Jiu pointed outward.
Needless to say, I also heard the movement.
There was a noise outside, and it was very loud, as if a lot of people were making noise together.
I thought about it, turned to the window, and looked out.
The sound came from the front yard, noisy and shouting, and there were a lot of people.
Not only that, but I don't know when two red lanterns were hung in front of the door of this room.
The lanterns were blood-red, shrouding the small courtyard in a layer of red light.
It was already dark by this time, and the noise of the courtyard in front of me was getting louder.
Lao Jiu and I glanced at each other, Qiqi's so-called waiting, this should be what he said.
Since Qiqi asked us to wait, let's wait!
The waiting time was not very long, less than ten minutes, a little girl in a maid's suit pushed the door in, bowed to me and Lao Jiu, and said, "Master, please go and sit in front of the two young masters!" β
I was a little confused by the title "Young Master", but I quickly reacted that she was calling me and Lao Jiu.
"Let's go!"
I gave Lao Jiu a look and followed the maid out.
"Brother?"
As soon as he took a step, there was the sound of Xiao Ding about to pee behind him.
"We're waiting for you in front, don't worry, it's okay!" I glanced back at the female ghost lying quietly on Xiao Ding's back, and said a word of reassurance.
When I walked out of the room and followed the maid forward, I realized that the Zhou family's house had completely changed.
When we came in before, the Zhou family's mansion was full of a smell of decay, after all, a hundred years have passed.
The yard was full of weeds, and the house was badly damaged, but now, the weeds are gone, and the house is the same as new.
Not only that, but on the way to the front yard, you can see people hurrying by everywhere.
The faces of the subordinates were filled with joy, and when they saw me and Lao Jiu, they shouted "Young Master" on their lips, just like the maid who showed us the way.
When I came to the front yard, I was stunned again.
The front yard was full of red lanterns, and a few big red hi sticks spanned the entire courtyard, forming a knot in mid-air, and the doors and windows were covered with the word "joy".
It's really the rhythm of getting married.
Lao Jiu and I looked at each other again, but neither of us spoke.
The maid took us into the courtyard, gave us seats in the first row, and left.
Lao Jiu and I sat down stiffly, and we had a little realization in our hearts that what we are experiencing now may be the scene on the night of the Zhou family's tragedy.
I exhaled slowly, and at this time, there was nothing I could not let go, just wait.
As time passed, more and more guests entered the courtyard, and gradually the tables placed in the courtyard were filled.
It's just that Lao Jiu and I are at the same table, and there are only the two of us, and no one is seated.
Looking at the guests in the courtyard, and the maids and maids who were still wearing flowers and butterflies, I secretly pressed my eyebrows, briefly opened the eye of the sky, only glanced at it, I pressed it again, and closed the eye of the sky.
I can't open the eyes of heaven, and if I do, I can't help it.
Just at a glance, there are stiff white faces and bloodshot eyes everywhere, and the yard is full of ghosts.
After waiting for another ten minutes or so, a shrill voice sounded, "It's an auspicious time!" β
With this long voice, Xiao Ding and the female ghost appeared in our sight.
Xiao Ding will change into a groom's dress, his face is as white as paper, with a crying voice on his face, holding the hand of the bride, or a female ghost, and slowly walking out from behind.
I noticed that the concentric rope was tied to his wrists and that of the bride at the same time.
The two of them walked slowly, and after walking out from behind, they came to a small platform flowing out of the courtyard directly in front of the courtyard.
"Two young masters, please!"
At this moment, the maid appeared in front of me and Lao Jiu again, and pointed to the four chairs placed side by side on the table.
I didn't say anything, I did whatever she arranged.
I gave Lao Jiu a look, got up and came to the stage, and sat on a chair on the left, and Lao Jiu sat down next to me.
As soon as my butt was next to the chair, I felt the temperature around me drop, and I don't know when there were two people sitting next to me, a middle-aged couple.
I took a look and knew that these two might be the bride's parents.
At the same time, Xiao Ding and the bride have already walked to the stage.
Xiao Ding glanced at me and Lao Jiu, his eyes were full of pleading, I gave him a look back to reassure, in fact, I was muttering in my heart.
Today's scene was completely unexpected, I don't know what this female ghost wants to do?
And the people in the courtyard, except for the female ghosts, most of the ghosts said happy words, but in my opinion, their movements were too stiff, like marionettes, even the bride's parents beside me, their faces were equally stiff, as if they were forced to sit here.
