Chapter 25: Kanzigou

The girl's home is in Kanshang Village, Kanzigou Town, which is very close to us, and it will be there in a while. When I arrived, I learned that the deceased's surname was Zhou, and he was only seventeen years old, and he was the daughter of the owner of the village commissary.

Old Monday saw that the two of us apprentice-looking guys came over, looked a little disappointed, and said, "Isn't your master coming?" Aren't there still some rituals that need to be done? ”

Xiaohui said: "It's okay, the underworld marriage is the same as an ordinary marriage, the worry is on the man's side, and the woman will prepare the bride and dowry and wait to pick it up." ”

Lao Zhou squeaked and whimpered: "Isn't there still a family to send?" I've heard that some girls don't want to get married, and there will be trouble on the road. There is still Master Zhao here, so be appropriate. ”

Xiaohui replied: "Uncle, don't worry, it's not the first time I've done this kind of work, as long as the girl dies without any uneasiness, I promise that I won't make a fuss." is such a big girl, she also wants to have a home, if she is not worthy of a dark marriage, she can only be barren in the mountains and mountains, and set up a lonely grave for her, a little girl's home, she is also afraid. Those who are really tossed are all dead grievances, even if they are not worthy of a secret marriage, they have to be tossed. Isn't your girl sick? That's certainly going to be fine. ”

I really didn't see it, Xiaohui, this girl doesn't look big, and she is quite unambiguous in her speech and actions.

In fact, there is no such thing as death, there is no easy and happy thing, many of those who die of illness have also experienced a long period of illness and suffering, and the happiness of death in Xiaohui's mouth is actually just the meaning of normal death. Death of old age, death of illness, and even accidentally drowning, climbing a mountain and falling to death, in our eyes are considered normal deaths, this kind of person, generally as long as there is no particularly strong obsession before death, we are considered to be happy with his death. And what can make us feel unhappy, then it is really unhappy, such as murder, such as suicide, such as a ghost baby being killed by his own grandmother with laxatives, anyway, there are grievances, or the death is particularly miserable.

Lao Zhou's expression was obviously a little wrong, but he still hurriedly said: "Yes, it's not sick, it's not too long, no, it's not uneasy." ”

Then Xiaohui and I went to decorate, the courtyard of Lao Zhou's house was a little small, and this time the underworld marriage was a bit big, and the family couldn't build the special red spirit shed, so it was set up in the open space outside the village away from the households.

While their family was away, I also quietly asked Xiaohui: "I saw that the old man was a little wrong just now, this girl can't be sick and dead." ”

Xiaohui glared at me and said: "It's useless to worry less, we are not here to get rid of evil spirits this time, it is just a job to send relatives and carry a dowry, even if there is something psychologically wrong before she dies, then there is a debtor and a master, as long as it is not so fierce that she kills people when she sees them, it will not happen to us." Sent to my mother-in-law's house, let's get a little bit, and evacuate quickly after the ceremony. ”

Xiaohui's words didn't make me settle down, but made me feel even more bottomless. I remembered the first time I met the corpse girl, she reminded Master Zhao that the girl who was married in Kanzigou was unhappy to die, just let Master Zhao sell things, don't go by yourself, the old guy won't be because he doesn't want to come, so he sent the two of us here. I'm also a poor crazy person who has never seen money, and as soon as I heard that 2,500 yuan was given, I directly threw the warning of the corpse girl behind my head.

But now that it's here, it's too late to regret it, and after arranging the arrangements in the mourning shed, we will go to Lao Zhou's house to rest, and the marrying relatives will not come over until the evening.

Lao Zhou said that he had something to do, so he asked his son Xiao Zhou to accompany us and went out by himself.

I asked Xiao Zhou: "Where is your brother-in-law from, is your family okay?" "Actually, I don't have anything to say, the man's side is a newly built house, there is no lack of anything, I saw it with my own eyes when I delivered it yesterday, not to mention a secret marriage, even if it is a real daughter-in-law, this small condition, you can definitely choose a beautiful marriage.

Xiao Zhou was stunned for a moment, and it took a long time to realize who my brother-in-law was. In fact, this is normal, what age is it, and the young man will not really think of that tablet as his brother-in-law.

"It's okay, his family is quite rich." Xiao Zhou said, a faint smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, it should be that he also realized that it was inappropriate, so he tried his best to hide the smile at the corner of his mouth, but he wanted to laugh very much, and his expression was very strange for a while.

I asked him again, "When did your sister not die?" How many days have you been on it? ”

Xiao Zhou said: "It's not a few days, it wasn't until last night, it's almost twelve o'clock." ”

I was shocked: the man should need to marry him, but he had already sent it yesterday, and he had already said at that time that the wedding day was set for tomorrow, and he would pick it up tonight. But yesterday the girl didn't breathe yet, even if she had an incurable disease, she could only wait for death on the spot, and she couldn't be sure when she would die.

Things are in such a hurry, if the coffin of the marriage comes, and the girl still has a breath, how to deal with it?

Perhaps conscious of his speechlessness, Xiao Zhou hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Busy for a long time, you are thirsty, I'll pour water for you." ”

While he was pouring water, I looked at the names and characters of the two people on the table.

The eight characters are also okay, not the kind of fateful ones, but when I saw the man's name, I was directly in a cold sweat, Zhao Yufeng.

This girl is destined for Zhao Yufeng, although I don't know when Zhao Yufeng's birthday is, but the year of birth is correct. And yesterday's delivery was to Gouqian Village, Kanzigou Town, Zhao Yufeng is indeed from that village, and I have been to their house before, but it was not a new house delivered yesterday.

So, my dream yesterdayβ€”

This special mother's is definitely not a coincidence, Zhao Yufeng, this kid is here to ask me for money.

I hurriedly ran out to find Xiaohui and told her, "I remember that when we came, we brought a lot of paper money and coins, so you can keep some for me." ”

Xiaohui gave me a blank look and asked, "What?" You didn't send your ancestors living expenses on time, and people came to you to ask for it? ”

Xiaohui, this girl, sometimes innocent and cute, but sometimes, she is also quite immoral, I don't bother to worry about him, and told her directly: "The groom is my classmate, and I found someone to inform me last night. ”

Xiaohui didn't say anything, and directly threw me a bundle of dark coins, so that I could burn them when I arrived at Zhao's house, and this thing was the most important thing in the store.

In the evening, Lao Zhou beckoned us to have a meal, and then everyone went to the spirit shed, and there were many people who started to go, but just around ten o'clock, everyone left one after another, even Lao Zhou's family also left, leaving only me and Xiaohui.

In a family with a secret marriage, the woman does not need to prepare the coffin by herself, and waits for the man to carry the coffin to pick it up, so now the bride's body is placed on a temporary brick platform set up in the funeral shed, and the brick platform is also pasted with red paper on all sides, and a red blanket is spread on it. The corpse was not covered with a white cloth, but a red cloth.

At night, just me and Xiaohui were still guarding the corpse, I really felt that the wind was gusting and terrifying.

I had nothing to say to Xiaohui: "This family is really, it is said that this is the last two hours of the girl's stay in the Zhou family, why didn't her parents say that they would accompany their daughters?" ”

Xiaohui said with a disdainful face: "Don't dare, maybe you have done something wrong, if this girl dies normally, it will be strange." Maybe it's going to be a mess for a while, so you're smart. ”
