Chapter 1 Invitations
I don't know how you would feel if you received the news that your girlfriend who had broken up for three or four years suddenly contacted you.
In short, I am conflicted, and my feelings are complicated.
That afternoon, I had just been fired from the company and was bored playing QQ at home. The avatar that had been dark in strangers for three or four years suddenly lit up, and asked me how I was doing, and this person was my ex-girlfriend.
When I mentioned my ex-girlfriend, I was heartbroken, we were good in high school for three years, college was better for one year, and at the end of my freshman year, there was no news, and I disappeared into my world.
It took me three years to completely obscure her.
"Very good, thank you for your concern, how about you?"
I forced a smile, after all, I couldn't lose face, I couldn't let her know that I was not doing well.
"I'm fine, I'm getting married, will you come?"
As soon as I heard it, my heart ached, you must know that I have been single since I was separated from her, not that I don't want to find her, but I really can't forget her.
I suddenly didn't know what happened, what does Nima mean by this, my ex-girlfriend got married, and I went to stand next to me stupidly and bless her and others to be happy and have a precious son early? It's either Hal or stupid.
"I just wanted you to come, so I only invited you alone!"
She continued.
I was not good at the time, I have been thinking about her all the time in the past few years, I have thought about when we met, she took her child, I took my child, passed by, pretended to say hello.
"Marriage is such a big thing, you can't play with it, are your classmates invited?"
My heart is very messy at this moment, after all, as soon as I see her news, my mind is full of what she looks like, what she looked like when she was good with me.
Her name is Su Ying, she has a devilish figure, and she is also beautiful, but she was the school flower of our school at that time.
I have been so good with her that I have been red in the eyes of countless people, and I have even been secretly beaten, but I have survived.
I gave all my heart to her, so it took me a few years to adjust after she suddenly disappeared from my life.
"No, I don't want anyone to come, I just want you to come, Xiaodong, do you still love me?"
Looking at her QQ message, although I didn't add any expression, I was able to clearly simulate her appearance in my mind, and my heartbeat instantly accelerated.
"Me, is there any point in saying this now? You're getting married! ”
"You only say love or not, in fact, I've been thinking about you all these years, but I can't find you!"
Liar, I'm at school, how can I not find it, and Su Ying also knows where I live, it is impossible not to find me.
"Love!"
I couldn't resist my inner thoughts, and I only said one word.
"Okay, then you must come, I haven't seen you for so many years, I'll personally send you an invitation in the evening, you can wait for me in the old place!"
Before I could speak, her avatar dimmed.
I looked at her gray avatar and suddenly wanted to cry.
Maybe I just lost my job, and when I was at my lowest, she came to greet her, just like when I failed the college entrance examination, her voice is still so clear in my ears.
But this time it's her getting married, and maybe this will be the last time we'll see each other, and my heart is like a knife.
But I still went out early in the evening, didn't even eat at home, said I was working overtime, put on my cleanest shirt, suit and leather shoes, and went out.
After graduating from university, I returned to my hometown and worked for a small company in my hometown.
The old place Su Ying said was in a small forest outside our high school campus, where we often dated five or six years ago, and exchanged first kisses with each other...... Anyway, there are a lot of first memories here.
At nine o'clock in the evening, I came here, and after a casual meal on the side of the road, I came to the grove where we used to be full of memories, this place I haven't been here for a few years, and it has changed so much, those little trees have grown up, and they have been cut down a lot.
I leaned against the tree and looked at the memories of the past.
I don't know how long it took, but I felt a cold wind blowing, and a shiver called me back to reality.
"Xiaodong."
A voice rang out behind me.
I didn't dare to turn around, because when I heard this voice, I was already a little speechless, and tears were rolling in my eyes.
"Xiaodong, thank you for coming."
"It's nothing, I wish you a happy wedding in advance!"
I still hadn't turned around, but I could feel her hand touching my waist, a little cold.
"You ......"
I was about to speak, but she hugged me from behind, as if she had been in this grove.
"Xiaodong, if you really love me, you must come!"
I didn't say anything at that moment, I just felt weird, I didn't know how I got back that night, but when I came back I felt cold, and by the time I woke up, I was already lying on the bed in my room, and there was a red invitation on my desk.
This is the first time I've seen this kind of invitation, after all, I've received invitations from several friends who have been married before, but it's never like that.
It feels soft in your hand, like holding a piece of leather, and the font on it is jet black.
This invitation seemed to weigh a thousand pounds in my hand, but I still opened it, and when I saw the invitation, I was instantly stunned, because the invitation was written in traditional Chinese for the groom Yang Dong.
I was dumbfounded!
That night, I didn't fall asleep again.
Over and over again, I was thinking about Su Ying, from hearing her voice in the woods to when I woke up, I didn't even turn my head to see if she had changed now.
All that's left in my head is her voice, and the feeling of her holding me in a long time.
I woke up early the next morning, but instead of going to work, I went out to look for a job.
I don't want to tell my parents about losing my job and let them worry about me anymore.
I went to the job market first, interviewed for a few jobs, left my contact information, and wandered the streets. At noon, the weather was a little hot, so I ate a bowl of noodles casually and entered Xinhua Winxuan.
I have to say that I feel a little lost today, I always feel that something follows me, my appetite is not very good when I eat at noon, I don't want to eat a bowl of noodles after a few bites, I don't feel hungry at all after running all morning.
I looked for a few books on psychology in the bookstore, and at this time an old man in sportswear stood beside me, not moving for a long time, I looked up and found that he was looking at me with a frown.
"Young man, you're in trouble!"
I looked left and right to make sure that the old man was talking to me, so I put the book down and said with a smile: "Grandpa, this is not a flyover, and I don't have any money on me." ”
When I used to study, I often met these old men who were fortune tellers on the flyover, and when they caught a person, they said that a catastrophe was coming, and the solution was to save money from the disaster.
"Hehe, young man, you misunderstood, I'm not one of those unpopular fortune tellers, just now I stood there and felt the yin qi on your body, and your eyebrows were dark, which was caused by the ghost qi entering the body, have you been suddenly confused recently or have you done anything you can't remember? Or have you seen any strangers or received anything? ”
The old man asked, touching his beard.
When I think about it, I really don't have any memory of my ex-girlfriend who suddenly appeared last night, and how I got home last night.
I just wanted someone to talk to, and I chatted when I had nothing to do, so I told this old man about last night.
The old man laughed, and led me to a place where I could sit and read.
"Stretch out your hand?"
I smiled wryly and held out my hand.
The old man grabbed my arm, and I suddenly felt a pain in my lower back, and then my head, as if the sky was spinning.
"I ......"
The old man let go, and it took me a long time to recover.
"It seems that your ex-girlfriend is going to kill you, otherwise she wouldn't have sucked half of your yang energy, and instead used ghost energy to make up for the balance of yin and yang in your body."
I was at a loss and didn't understand for a long time.
"Did you promise her anything?"
"I promised her wedding, I'll go to it!"
Wedding?
The old man pondered for a moment, then continued, "You said she gave you an invitation last night?" ”
I nodded.
"You're open?"
I still nodded.
The old man stood up suddenly, and said with a frightened look on his face: "It's a big deal......
I wonder why it's a big deal when I open it, isn't it just an invitation?
"Do you know what that is?"
I shook my head.
"Take it, go back and use a cinnabar pen to point on the sticker, and you'll know!"
The old man looked flustered, then took out a cinnabar pen about the size of a little finger from his bosom and handed it to me.
Looking at the pocket-sized cinnabar pen in my hand, I was really confused.
"Hey, it's all my fault that I'm a step late, young man must not take that invitation to that grove tonight, I'll go back and prepare something, and at six o'clock in the afternoon, remember to call me."
The old man was a little anxious at the moment, handed me something like a business card, and got up to leave.
"Old gentleman......"
"Young man, everything will wait until you go home and see the true face of the invitation, if you believe it, call me, if you don't believe it, I won't say it."
"However, you will definitely believe what I say, and I will explain it to you in the evening."
As he spoke, the old man hurriedly left Wenxuan.
I sat there and didn't speak for a long time, still feeling a little confused.
Look at the card in your hand.
"The Chengdu branch of Changsheng Office, Chen Chuyi, operates business: exorcism and demon suppression, fortune telling, face marriage, funeral and funeral ceremonies. Contact number: 150XXXXXXXX. ”
I smiled bitterly, looking at the pocket cinnabar pen in my hand, and I was vaguely suspicious.
After all, Su Ying's appearance was too accidental, and the invitation I felt was indeed different from what I received before.
Immediately, he didn't think much about it, put the card and pocket cinnabar pen in his pocket, and didn't have the heart to read, so he walked out of Wenxuan and went straight home.
When I opened the door, I could feel a smell similar to burnt pork, and when I walked to the desk, I saw countless small spots on the red invitation, which were as eye-catching as the freckles on a person's face.
I felt a pang of uneasiness in my heart because the smell of burnt pork came from this invitation.
I quickly took out the tiny cinnabar pen, held the cinnabar pen in one hand and the invitation in the other, and tentatively put a little on the invitation.
In an instant, it was like magic, the cinnabar on the cinnabar pen was completely absorbed by the invitation, and then the invitation that was originally in my hand became a pigskin-like thing, but it was very thin, and there were clear edges on it.
Yes!
My scalp was tingling, and I threw the invitation out the window as soon as I let go!
