Lunar calendar, July 14.

It is advisable to marry, sacrifice, and pray for blessings.

Do not break ground.

Today is the big day of Boss Lin, the richest man in Shimen Village, because Boss Lin's son, Young Master Lin, got married tonight.

According to the rules of Shimen Village, when you get married in the ghost month, you must choose to pick up your relatives at night and have a wedding.

The bride is said to be a foreigner, her family is poor, and there are many brothers and sisters in the family.

Boss Lin is doing wax man business, the family has lived on wax people for several generations, and the craftsmanship is also very superb, and then the business is getting bigger and bigger, famous far and near, in the whole mountain, many people in the village have heard of Boss Lin's reputation.

This Shimen Village is a relatively remote village, hidden in the mountains, and does not see the light of day all year round.

In such a remote mountain village, usually whoever has a happy event will soon spread throughout the village, so today's day of Boss Lin's family's big day, the whole village will naturally come.

From the gate of the village to Boss Lin's house, there are lights and red lanterns.

The villagers gathered in the courtyard of Boss Lin's house early, waiting for the arrival of the bride, and then when the time came, they would worship and get married.

The night is getting darker, and the fog in the mountains is getting a little thicker.

At the entrance of the village, a young man appeared, with a somewhat thin face, bright eyes, dressed in a plain robe, carrying a long stick in his hand, and carrying a cloth bag on his back.

"Huh...... Happy event? The young man stood at the entrance of Shimen Village and was stunned.

In the darkness, the big red lantern hanging high was a little dazzling.

It is indeed strange that such a special month or such a special day is still such a special day, but someone chooses to do a happy event during this period.

The young man was not from Shimen Village, but was walking at night and passing by the village, wanting to spend the night and rest for the night.

But he didn't expect to encounter a festive thing.

Just when the young man was stunned, suddenly there was a suona sound behind him.

In such a silent night, in the mountains, the sound of suona was very long, a little weird, and lingered in the air.

When the man turned around, he saw four young strong men, carrying a big red sedan chair, coming from the other end of the mountain road towards Shimen Village.

In front of the red sedan chair, there are two middle-aged people playing suona.

"This is ......" The man frowned and said to himself, "Bride? ”

The sedan chair swayed and flickered, getting closer and closer, and the festive atmosphere seemed to be a little more suddenly.

Although there were many doubts in the man's heart, at this moment, he couldn't help but hold back, and the pace under his feet couldn't help but speed up, and he followed behind the sedan chair.

The man followed Hua Jiaozi into Shimen Village and walked along the village path.

It didn't take long to hear the sound of cheers.

Looking around, Boss Lin's house is very lively, and the villagers have gathered here, waiting for the arrival of the bride.

The sound of gongs and drums and suona kept ringing, and it seemed that at this moment, the whole village was lively.

The frown on the man's forehead was deeper, and the expression on his face became more and more serious.

"Eh, eh...... This little brother, why haven't I seen you? You're not from this village, are you? What do you call it? Seeing the man coming after Hua Jiaozi, many of the waiting villagers mistook the man for the bride's end. An eventful villager grabbed the man and asked.

The expression on the man's face relaxed a little, smiled faintly, looked at the villagers beside him who greeted him, and said, "My name is Li Changsheng, not from the village." ”

The villager listened and said with a smile: "Of course I know that you are not from the village, how old is Shimen Village?" Everyone knows each other, you must be from the bride's family, right? Could it be that you are the bride's brother, and you are not at ease when you see your sister getting married, so you follow along the way? ”

Li Changsheng waved his hand again and again, and said with a smile: "No, no, I just passed by here, and I saw something lively to see, so I came to take a look." ”

"Huh...... That's a coincidence. When the villagers heard this, they laughed and said, "This is the son of our village boss marrying a wife, since you are passing by, let's have a glass of wine together and then leave." ”

Li Changsheng listened, nodded slightly, and asked, "This eldest brother, I want to ask, how did you choose this marriage at night?" ”

When the villagers heard this, they said, "You don't know this, this is a custom in our village, and if you get married in the ghost month, you must choose to hold this wedding at night." ”

Li Changsheng's brows furrowed again at this time, and he said, "Then why did you choose this day?" ”

The villagers were stunned, looked around, and then whispered in Li Changsheng's ear: "I heard that it was the bride's family, and he owed Boss Lin a lot of money, and he couldn't pay it back, so he took his daughter out to pay off the debt and married Young Master Lin. ”

"Oh......" Li Changsheng listened, nodded, and said, "But...... On such a day, but when the door of the ghost is wide open, choose such a time to do marriage, aren't you afraid of problems? ”

The villagers waved their hands again and again and said, "People in our village also say this, but Boss Lin has never believed in these things, let alone ...... This kind of thing, no one is unhappy, we outsiders, how can we say anything! ”

Li Changsheng took a deep breath of cold air, and his eyes seemed to become much deeper in an instant.

He looked up at the mountains and forests in the distance, and saw only a cloud of green air, as if it was lingering in the darkness.

At this end, the bride has already gotten off the sedan chair.

In the hall of the Lin family, incense and candles have already been lit, bright red ribbons have been draped, and even the doors and windows have been pasted with festive window flowers.

Everything is ready, just wait for the time to come, and visit the church to get married.

Li Changsheng was in the courtyard of the Lin family, and when he looked at it, he only saw Boss Lin sitting in the middle of the hall, and on another chair next to him, there was a woman, who must be Boss Lin's wife.

In the candlelight, Mrs. Lin sat there, but there was no joy on her face, and her eyes looked ahead blankly.

The bright light shone on her originally kind face, but it was a little cold, as if it had come out of the abyss.

An eerie chill seemed to emanate from Mrs. Lin's body.

The more Li Changsheng looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and suddenly, he only felt like a basin of cold water, poured down from the top of his head, and it was cold to the soles of his feet.

He hurriedly grabbed the villager who had been talking a lot just now, and asked, "This Mrs. Lin...... Not human? ”
