The fairy sister smiled shyly, slowly fell on top of me, and in an extremely gentle way, let me experience what is called a moment of spring night worth a thousand gold.

That night, the garden was full of spring, like a dream, but it was so real.

I was almost exhausted until the rooster crowed, and the fairy sister put on her own clothes and admonished: "Little brother, we will meet again, this kind of shameful thing, you should not tell anyone, including your grandfather, you know?" ”

"I'm responsible......" I said firmly.

"When you grow up, my sister will marry you."

I suddenly became incoherent with excitement: "Immortal...... Sister Fairy, are you telling the truth? Will you marry me? ”

"Well, really, but you can't tell anyone, including your grandfather, about the two of us, do you hear me?"

I nodded and said, "I heard, as long as I can see the fairy sister again, I can do whatever you want." ”

……

The next day, I was woken up by a basin of cold water, and when I woke up, I still felt severe pain all over my body, and my grandfather stood in front of me with a basin in his mouth, and said coldly: "Oh no, the wound really scabbed overnight." ”

I looked down at the wound on my body, it seemed to be healed, and then I remembered the fairy sister who appeared in my room last night, and stubbornly thought that this fairy sister was really a fairy, and she was here to save me.

I didn't dare to tell my grandfather about it, because the fairy sister told me when she was leaving, this is a little secret for the two of us, and I can't tell it to a third person, she is shy.

Seeing that I was a little confused, my grandfather said coldly: "Follow me!" ”

"Grandpa, where are you going?" A few words came out of my mouth, and my consciousness blurred again, and in my vague consciousness, I could only feel my grandfather carrying me on his back, and then walked out of the house and towards a hill outside the village.

The shaking of my grandfather's every step made me tingle all over my body, and I didn't go far before I fainted again.

When I opened my eyes, it was already dark, and I was lying on the bed, and my grandfather was sitting in front of the bed with another old man, who was kind and gray-haired, and looked very energetic, and was staring at me seriously, and his hand had broken my chin.

"The eyes are off Yintang Huang, this is a sign of accidental death, the tongue is black and the lips are purple, and he will die in seven days, Brother Zhao, this little baby is about to reach the limit." The old man said directly.

Grandpa's face was pale, and he was probably still angry at this time, he glanced at me and said: "Brother Hu, my grandson has a hard life, he has no father or mother, and he hasn't had a good life with me. ”

The old man who was called Brother Hu by his grandfather sighed, looked at the wound on my body, and said slowly after a long time: "The wound is scabbed, the pain is still there, this is a sign of unacceptance, Brother Zhao, you are about to beat this little baby to death, the snake fairy refuses to give up, which shows that the snake fairy is determined to kill him." ”

Grandpa nodded and said, "Yes, I also know, I still know a little bit about ghosts, but about demons, Brother Hu is better than me." ”

Grandpa Hu said: "Well, there are six dead people now, seven is the number of reincarnations of the snake demon, if you want to escape this catastrophe, I can only find a backer for the little baby, if he has a backer, the snake fairy will be jealous." ”

"But where do we go to find a backer?" Grandpa blurted out.

"Marry her a daughter-in-law."

Grandpa was stunned for a moment, then his face changed, and he said, "Brother Hu, are you talking about a secret marriage?" ”

The old man surnamed Hu nodded and said, "That's right, there are no demons and ghosts when they meet, so we have to find him a female ghost as a daughter-in-law." ”

Grandpa shook his head and said, "He is extremely yin, and I am afraid that he will die faster if he marries the underworld." ”

Grandpa Hu shook his head and said: "The snake demon is incomprehensible, the extreme yin life is broken, if you get married to the underworld, you can save your life after the cave room, the snake demon has been with him for nearly seven years, night and night, if you take his life and become a demon, the snake demon's Taoism will rise for seventy years, and then I'm afraid no one will be able to descend it." ”

Grandpa pondered for a while, then nodded slowly.

As soon as I heard the two old men say this, I sat up with severe pain, and said stubbornly: "No, I don't want a female ghost daughter-in-law." ”

And I have someone I like, the fairy sister from last night.

"If you can't do it, you have to do it, you still have to die!" Grandpa glared at me fiercely, and raised his hand to slap me again.

I don't know where the courage comes from, not dodging or hiding. And grandpa's slap didn't come down after all, his face was flushed with anger, and he said: "If you don't cooperate, you only have a dead end, do you know it." ”

"I know, but I married a ghost daughter-in-law, and I can't marry a daughter-in-law in the future!" My mind is full of the appearance of a fairy sister, if I marry a ghost daughter-in-law, then how can I explain to her?

Grandpa Hu smiled and said, "Baby, you misunderstood, this ghost daughter-in-law is married to help you prevent disasters, and it will not affect your future daughter-in-law." ”

After hearing this, my eyes lit up, I looked at my grandfather and asked, "Grandpa, is it true?" ”

Grandpa nodded and said, "Of course it's true, do you really think that other female ghosts can accompany you for a lifetime?" They are also going to be reincarnated. ”

I was very aggrieved at the time, because I was young, I had to pout and say, "Then grandpa will find me a good-looking one, I will choose it myself." ”

"How can a female ghost be good-looking, but also choose by yourself, if a female ghost is willing to ask you to burn high incense, you stop it, you should bear the consequences if you make a mistake." Grandpa wasn't afraid to hit me at all.

I was struck all over my body, I haven't seen ghosts, but I have a concept in my heart, I have seen it on TV, long hair covering my face, my face is pale, and even bleeding from the seven orifices, if the ghost is really like this, then even if I survive, I will be scared to death.

However, my thoughts did not affect their decision in the slightest, after all, I was still young at the time, and I could only listen to adults.

"Well, the soul is in love with the Buddha and the Tao, Brother Zhao will contact a troupe that sings ghost plays as soon as possible." Grandpa Hu answered.

Grandpa nodded: "I'll contact you." ”

After the two old men discussed, Grandpa handed Grandpa Hu a jade ring, saying that it was our family heirloom. Then he began to call the troupe, and explained to the troupe that this was a ghost show.

The so-called ghost play, that is, although the troupe sings, there is no audience below, only the party alone watches, the troupe in the countryside often receives this kind of play, which sounds quite terrifying, but for them to sing, it actually has no effect, and the remuneration is several times higher than the usual singing, they are naturally willing to take such work.

After contacting the troupe, Grandpa went back to prepare to build the stage, and after I rested for a long time, Grandpa Hu brought some tribute and dragged me to Tomb Mountain, five miles outside the village, to invite ghosts.

Tomb Mountain is a mountain specially used for burial, in addition to our Yingfu Village, there are two other villages around Tomb Mountain, this mountain is the junction of three villages, and I heard that the feng shui of this mountain is very good, and the dead can be buried here to protect the family, so Tomb Mountain is full of graves and low pine trees with graves.

I was full of pain, grinning in pain, and in the evening, Grandpa Hu dragged me to the bottom of the grave mountain.

As soon as I arrived at the foot of Tomb Mountain, the sun had already begun to set, Grandpa Hu looked at the sky, then handed me a steamed bun and said, "Let's take a rest and eat something first." ”

"Grandpa Hu, it's still not going to rest, it's going to get dark soon, let's hurry up and finish looking for the ghost daughter-in-law and go back." I said weakly.

Grandpa Hu smiled, the forehead lines on his forehead were clearly visible, and he said: "Just wait for dark, looking for a ghost daughter-in-law is something that can't be done during the day." ”

I shuddered, and at night, in a mountain full of graves, it was terrible to think about.

"Are you afraid?" Grandpa Hu asked.

I subconsciously shook my head and said stubbornly: "Don't be afraid, manly man, what is there to be afraid of." ”

In fact, when I said this, my heart was already trembling, but I just wanted to save face, and I didn't want to admit that I was afraid at all, and I also knew that it was useless to be afraid, and they would not allow me to go back because I said I was afraid.

Waiting until it gets dark, I never feel that time flies so quickly, maybe because I don't want to go up the mountain, I always want time to pass slowly, but the more I hope for it, the faster time passes.

"Let's go, go up the mountain and ask for ghosts, don't talk nonsense after you go up, I'll just say it, if you feel cold, or someone pats you on the back, don't look back." Grandpa Hu stood up, patted his buttocks, lit a kerosene lamp, raised his feet and walked up the path. Grandpa Hu said that you can't use a flashlight, the light of the flashlight is too strong, and it is easy to attract the attention of those things.

Reluctantly, I followed, and soon came to an area with a high concentration of graves.

The tombstones here are all carved by the same stonemason, so they all look basically the same, the only difference is the black and white photos on the tombstones that look a little smiling.

Grandpa Hu led me to start looking at the tombstones one by one, to see whether the grave was buried in a man or a woman, if it was a woman, take a closer look at how old it was, and those who were over 25 years old were basically ignored, because those who were over 25 years old in the countryside were basically married, and those who had married before death could not get married.

I followed Grandpa Hu, the wind was gusting on the mountain, and I always felt panicked, Grandpa Hu reminded me before going up the mountain, maybe because of the psychological effect, I really felt a little cold, and I also felt something patting my back.

After searching for more than ten graves in a row, I finally found the grave of a woman who died at the age of twenty-two.
