Chapter 18 Pulse with affection
My father asked me why the white ghost wanted me to marry such a yin marriage, and the reason for this was very complicated, and I couldn't explain it, so I just told him that it had something to do with my stealing life.
When my father and mother heard me say this, they didn't ask any more, and seeing that the second elder began to be silent, I knew that the matter of stealing their lives had always been a thorn in their hearts.
Yin marriage is also marriage, and there are often people in the countryside who do a lot of things, such as my distant relative before. But my marriage with the Yellow River Niangniang is different, we are yin and yang, there are too many taboos for the living to marry the dead, and it is easy to be gossiped.
Moreover, the Yellow River Niangniang has long become a legendary existence on both sides of the Yellow River, and marrying her as a wife is a shocking thing.
So my marriage has to be carried out in secret, even my brother and sister-in-law have not been notified, they live in the new house and do not live in the old house, and wait for the Yellow River Niangniang to see if they want to tell them after the situation passes.
Although the mermaid tears can make the Yin body of the Yellow River Niangniang permanent, the Yin body is the Yin body after all, and no one knows if she can integrate into the life of mortals.
After making up my mind, my father and mother started to renovate the house for me. Originally, my father planned to build me a new hospital, but I refused.
Now there are less than two months left until the Xia Yuan Festival, and who knows what will happen by then.
What's more, since I married Huang He Niangniang, I will definitely not live in the village in the future.
In the end, my father and mother painted all the Westinghouse where I used to live, replaced it with a new bed, a new bedding, a new wardrobe, and even a dresser.
After getting ready for the house, I went to the paper shop in town.
When the old white ghost left, he said that the Yellow River Niangniang wanted to wear paper clothes, and asked me to go to the town to find the paper shop he knew well to make a few modern paper clothes for her.
This paper shop is located on the edge of the big stone bridge at the west entrance of the town, and is very close to the people's cemetery that was built during the communization.
There are no houses around the paper shop, and it is full of trees.
Mulberry trees are planted in the south, willows are planted in the north, locust forests are planted in the east, poplars are planted in the west, and in the middle of the courtyard of the paper shop there is an old cypress that has grown for an unknown number of years.
The more I look at it, the more I feel that something is wrong, mulberry willow and poplar and cypress, isn't this the wood of the five yin that is often said in feng shui?
The five yin are complete, that is, the yin land.
I never imagined that this paper shop would be opened on the top of Juyin.
The door of the paper shop was closed, and I stood outside the door and knocked for a long time, only to hear a woman inside answer me angrily, saying that she now has a guest and asked me to wait outside for a while.
I saw that the time was still early, and I was not in a hurry, so I smoked outside the door and waited slowly.
After waiting for about half an hour, the courtyard door opened, and a man in black walked out of it.
This person wears a hat, and a pale face without any blood is faintly visible under the hat.
As he passed by me, the man glanced at me unintentionally and strode away.
I looked at his back and quickly realized that something was wrong.
The clothes on his body are all black, with three layers inside and three layers outside, with a buckle, which is clearly the shroud that only our local dead wear.
And he has no shadow, walking on tiptoe, and there is no rustic smell on his toad shoes.
With us, only the dead wear toad shoes.
"Have you seen enough? Come in when you've seen enough. A woman leaned on the door frame and looked at me coldly.
I didn't rush in the door, but asked her who was the man who had just come out of her shop?
"Didn't you already see who he was?"
"Is he really sneaky?" Thinking of her paper shop opening on the Juyin Ground, I couldn't help but ask: "Your store won't even take over the ghost business, right?" ”
"Why, do I have something in this store that can be used by a living person?" The woman asked me with an eyebrow.
"......" I was immediately speechless.
Whether it is all kinds of paper or paper money in her shop, all of them are burned for the dead, but I can't imagine that she will directly do business with ghosts.
Seeing ghosts in the day made me feel very uncomfortable, but I thought that this paper shop was introduced to me by the white ghost, so I had to walk in.
After entering the door, the woman asked me what I was going to do.
I said that I was introduced by the white old ghost, and I wanted to make a few pieces of paper clothes for the woman who was married to wear, and I wanted a modern style.
"Modern? It's really rare. The woman muttered.
"Can you do it?" I asked.
"I can make a few models, but it is very time-consuming, and I have to take my time one by one." Most of the things burned for the dead to wear follow the ancient rites, and the paper clothes are also the shape of ancient dresses. The paper bundles in her store are also retro shapes, and even the dark banknotes are cut out of yellow paper and hand-cut with stamps. Not like I've seen it before
That kind of printed money, the face value is often hundreds of millions.
Then the proprietress asked me if I had any requirements for my figure, and I roughly compared it with her, and then asked her how much.
"Don't want money. If I collect money for the things I burned for the Yellow River Niangniang, wouldn't it be a long life. ”
"You know about me?" I asked, taken aback.
"The Yellow River Niangniang wants to get married, and there are few local ghosts who don't know."
"Then how do you know that the person who is going to marry her is me?" I asked again.
"You were sent by the white old ghost to find me, who else can there be besides the white old ghost who is qualified to be a matchmaker for the Yellow River Niangniang?"
Well, I have to admit that this woman is very smart, and at the same time must have a close relationship with the white old ghost.
After returning from the paper shop, I decided to go to the ancient altar that night to meet the Yellow River Niangniang.
The proprietress of the paper shop said that almost all the local ghosts knew about the Yellow River Niangniang's marriage, and if I didn't move any longer, she would definitely be angry.
Last time, my wedding with her was not completed in the courtyard of the white old ghost, because she was entangled by the local city god.
Now that the matter of the Yellow River Order in the hands of the Lord of Huiji Guan Chen Guan has been spread, the City God will definitely not pester her anymore, and the Yellow River Niangniang has been waiting for me to marry her.
The moonlight tonight is not bad, and the breeze is slow and the water is not rippling.
I stepped onto the ancient altar with the incense burner in my hand, lit four sticks of incense in front of her idol, and knelt down and kowtowed.
Who knew that this time, no matter how hard I bent over, I couldn't kneel.
"A man has gold under his knees, and he kneels to the sky and his parents, how can there be a reason to kneel to his wife. You and I didn't have a name before, but now that I have promised the Jun family as a wife, I naturally can't make such a big gift again. ”
A familiar voice came from far away in the middle of the river and fell directly into my heart.
I looked up and saw the white mist rising from the river, gradually condensing into a graceful figure.
Huang Heniang appeared......
I have mixed feelings when I see her again, because this time she is here for me.
"I thought you were going to keep me waiting a long time." Huang He Niangniang said faintly.
“……”
I didn't guess wrong, the Yellow River Niangniang really waited for me. Compared to her affection, I felt sincerely guilty for my previous concerns.
Then, the Yellow River Niangniang walked on the water and slowly came to me.
When she wasn't near me, I longed for her to be close. And when she was actually standing in front of me, I was nervous and didn't know what to say.
I was cramped for a long time, and then I suddenly remembered that I should take out the mermaid tears.
"This is the tears of the merman in the South China Sea, and the old white ghost said that it can help you fix your yin body forever." After saying that, I handed her the porcelain vase.
After Huang He Niangniang took it, she opened the plug and looked at the mermaid tears suspended in the immaculate real water, and she was stunned all of a sudden.
I don't know if it's my delusion, but I seem to see a glint in her eyes.
"Shark tears are extremely precious, are you really willing to give them to me?"
"You can even give up the Yellow River Order for me, what is the mermaid tears." I said.
"You're wrong, don't say one side of the Yellow River Order, even if the eight Yellow River Orders add up, in my eyes, they can't compare to this drop of mermaid tears."
Huang He Niangniang told me that the merman's tears are not only permanent in the body, but also equivalent to letting her be reincarnated as a human in a sense.
If there were no mermaid tears, even if she became the king of the Yellow River, she would still be imprisoned in the Yellow River for the rest of her life.
Over the years, she has been watching the fireworks on both sides of the strait in the water, and her biggest wish in her heart is that one day she can go ashore again to be a person, even if it is just an ordinary person.
If it hadn't been for the Yellow River Niangniang telling me personally, I wouldn't have known that this mermaid tear was so precious and so important to her.
Humanity is that the Yellow River has nine meanders, after all, it flows eastward.
But I didn't know that there would be a wisp of fragrant soul in the river, and I didn't go with the flow, but for a hundred years, staring at the fireworks on both sides of the river stupidly. I listened to her sad heart, and finally couldn't hold back my emotions anymore, and took her into my arms......
