Chapter 28: The Dilemma

I took out my phone and wanted to look at the weather forecast, if there was an error in the morning forecast, it was already cloudy, and the weather forecast on my phone should have been modified. But when I took out my mobile phone, I found that there was no signal at all, and I couldn't check the current weather conditions at all.

And we had been walking for a long time, two or three hours, but now it was only twelve o'clock.

The weather didn't come up with any problems, and the argument between the coffin bearer and the matchmaker didn't lead to anything, so everyone had to move on. After walking for a while, I looked at my phone again and realized that it was still twelve o'clock, and I realized that something was wrong.

I asked Xiaohui, "What time is it?" There seems to be something wrong with my phone, and the time display is not accurate. ”

Xiaohui looked at her watch and told me, "Twelve o'clock." ”

I had been gone for a while just now, so how could it not be for a minute. I didn't say anything, but I kept an eye on myself and began to count the steps under my feet, and when I counted to a thousand steps, I asked Xiaohui again, "What time is it?" ”

In this road condition, it takes more than 10 minutes to walk a thousand steps.

As a result, Xiaohui didn't even look at the watch this time, and told me directly: "Don't ask, it's still twelve o'clock, we are already stuck, you look at the matchmaker's legs." ”

The matchmaker walked in front of the coffin with a lantern, not far from me, and the lantern was not lit with candles, but light bulbs and rechargeable batteries, so the brightness was okay. By the light of the lantern, I could see that she was walking steadily step by step.

Just wanted to tell Xiaohui that there was nothing abnormal, a gust of wind blew, and the weeds on the side of the matchmaker's legs swayed up rhythmically left and right with the wind, and there were a few small flowers on the grass, two yellow and three white, swaying together with the wind, and against the backdrop of the matchmaker's red skirt, it was particularly conspicuous, just like an accessory specially made for this skirt. However, the grass and the flowers clearly grew on the ground, and the matchmaker's two legs kept moving forward, but it was like stepping on a treadmill under her feet, and there was no place at all.

I subconsciously looked at my feet and found that there was nothing wrong with the ground under my feet, and I was moving forward step by step. But although I went forward, the matchmaker was ahead of me, and I never overtook her, so that is to say, I have always been standing still.

"Ghost hitting the wall?" I reflexively thought of these three words, in layman's terms, all the predicaments that can't get out of for some reason seem to be called ghosts hitting the wall.

Xiaohui shook her head and said, "It's more troublesome than a ghost hitting the wall, if you simply encounter a ghost hitting the wall, the time should be normal, but now even the time is stuck." ”

"Time is stuck, isn't it a broken phone?"

Although the conversation between the two of us was quiet, after all, it was right next to the coffin, and the matchmaker and the coffin bearer still heard it. The matchmaker stopped abruptly and turned around, but the coffin bearer behind her was not in a hurry and almost hit her.

The matchmaker is specialized in the profession of underworld marriage, and she has seen the world, so she was not panicked at this time, and said to the team behind her: "Stretch the line, except for the eight who carry the coffin, the other two people are twenty steps apart, standing in front of and behind the coffin." ”

This proposal was immediately opposed by some people at the back of the team, saying that the situation is unclear now, the team should be concentrated, and it is easier to have an accident if it is dispersed.

The matchmaker said with a calm face: "If you are willing to do what I say, act immediately, and if you are unwilling, come out and stand aside, don't delay the old woman to save others." ”

As soon as the matchmaker's attitude became tougher, the opposition behind her could not be heard again.

The coffin could not fall to the ground, so the eight coffin bearers did not move, still carrying the coffin on the spot, and the others, including us, a total of nine people, the matchmaker commanded the four in front and the four in the back to stand away.

I was placed in the position closest to the coffin, this golden position, if it was really the bride's grievances, then it was likely to be the first to be attacked, but the matchmaker arranged it this way, and I can't say anything.

Xiaohui was twenty paces ahead of me, and there were two more people in front of me.

was assigned to the first one, and said to the matchmaker with a bitter face: "Third aunt, can you change my position, I'm so far away from everyone, I'm afraid." ”

The three said with a cold face: "Then where do you think you are not afraid?" How about you carry the coffin? ”

The man stumbled and said, "I, I want to exchange with him." ”

That person was actually referring to me, this position is really not very rare for me, if the third aunt agrees to let me change with him, I will change it to him immediately.

As a result, the third aunt asked the man: "It's okay to stand in this position if you want, are you a child?" ”

The man shook his head.

The third aunt said: "It's not a child's body, you can't guard the coffin, if you have to keep it, you can barely castrate yourself." ”

As soon as the man heard this, he dared to care any more, so he quickly walked eighty steps honestly and stood at the front of the line.

After everyone stood according to their positions, the third aunt walked to the front of the line by herself, walked twenty steps forward, bent down and sat on the ground to make a mark, and then let the first person behind take twenty steps forward and stand in the position in front of her. Then she went back to the second man, and watched as the second man also took twenty steps forward, standing where the first man was. Then Xiaohui also walked twenty steps forward, and when Xiaohui started walking, the third aunt said to me: "Look at her clearly, when she walks, if there is anything wrong, you have to point it out immediately." ”

I nervously watched Xiaohui walk forward step by step, and the third aunt also stood beside her, cautiously staring at Xiaohui's every step, but she walked twenty steps safely, and there was nothing abnormal.

Then the third aunt began to let me go, and before I took a step, she also asked the eight coffin bearers behind me about their birthdays, and then also instructed the eight coffin bearers to take good care of me, and if there was anything abnormal, remind her immediately.

After the explanation, the third aunt walked a few steps to the side, and then stood side by side with me at a distance and began to walk with me. According to the normal situation, I am more than 1.8 meters tall, and my steps must be bigger than the steps of a woman in the third aunt, and I began to scruple her to walk with me, and I took a little retracted my steps, not too big a step, but after taking a few steps, I found that I was obviously behind the third aunt.

I took a bigger step, even to the maximum, but I still couldn't catch up with her. It was an indescribable feeling, both of us were walking forward, if you look at it alone, the two of us are walking normally, and the distance between me and Xiaohui is also shortening, but I was thrown out of the distance by the third aunt.

When I looked back at the twenty steps I had finished, the distance between me and the coffin was still twenty steps, and it had not changed at all.
