Master Meng's answer seemed to confirm Fang Ping's guess, but Fang Ping didn't dare to ask more, on the one hand, she was afraid of offending Master Meng and losing her job, and on the other hand, there was still a trace of luck, in other words, if Master Meng really told her bluntly that there was a ghost outside the door, was this really the answer she wanted? Can she guarantee that she will be able to hold on? Thinking of this, Fang Ping couldn't help but shudder, and didn't dare to think about it anymore, so she hurriedly went up to the second floor to prepare to rest.

After staying here for one night, Fang Ping may be familiar with this, plus she didn't rest almost all night last night, although she was still a little nervous in her heart, but fortunately there was nothing to do all night, Fang Ping opened her eyes It was half past seven the next morning, and Fang Ping, who was in good spirits, hurriedly got up and prepared to wash. But as soon as I walked to the entrance of the building, I heard the noise of people downstairs, and there seemed to be more than ten people listening to the sound in the store on the first floor! There are so many guests coming to the door early in the morning? Fang Ping thought in her heart and went downstairs in confusion.

When I got to the first floor, there was really a room full of people, at least twenty people, Fang Ping squeezed in through the cracks with a blank face, and saw four old men in their fifties sitting in the main hall, it seemed that they should be two old couples, dressed very festively, sitting upright, but their faces revealed endless sadness! Fang Ping is wondering, which play is this? But the sound of suona and gongs and drums suddenly sounded outside the store! Fang Ping looked in the direction of the sound, and suddenly let out an exclamation, almost weakened her legs, and fell to the ground, fortunately, the sound of musical instruments covered Fang Ping's scream, so as not to alarm everyone in the room, making her the object of attention!

What scared Fang Ping was not the musicians outside the store, but the situation inside the store. I saw two corpses on the big table in the store! The two corpses were all red and colorful, dressed in newlyweds, and the bride's side was even more phoenix-crowned and richly dressed! The corpse's face was covered with a red cloth, and the face was not visible, but the corpse's head was each photographed in color, and they all looked very young! On both sides of the large table, a pair of paper-tied boys and girls were placed! The store was full of people who were supposed to be relatives of the "newlyweds". There was a strong smell of rotting corpses in the shop, and it seemed that the corpses should be decomposed!

Fang Ping was so frightened that she hurriedly took a few steps back, clinging to the wall, she was still young when her father left, and her memory was already blurred, this was the first time she really saw a corpse, and she couldn't help but feel a burst of fear in her heart.

At this moment, Master Meng pushed the door out of the back hall and stood next to the two corpses, and as soon as he raised his hand, all the musicians outside stopped. He carried a bowl of dumplings and a bowl of noodles in his hand, put them on the big desk, and shouted: "God-given good fate, after eating these two bowls of longevity noodles and kissing dumplings, worshipping heaven and earth, and high hall, it has become this family business!" The ceremony begins!! Newcomers worship heaven and earth! ”

As soon as the words fell, several people at the table hurriedly stepped forward and directly helped the two corpses to stand up, facing the outside of the store! For a while, there were two corpses standing in the lobby, and the atmosphere was extremely weird! Master Meng continued to shout loudly: "Second worship the high hall! Several people hurriedly turned the two corpses in a different direction, facing the four old men, and the two old women couldn't help crying for a while, and finally Master Meng shouted: "Husband and wife worship each other!" Several people hurriedly fell and turned the corpse face to face!

Master Meng finally shouted loudly: "Licheng! Sprinkle yellow paper and hold an umbrella! Go to the joint burial! With that, he raised the bowl in his hand and smashed it heavily on the ground! Several people hurriedly carried over the two red stretchers, put the corpses on separately, and propped up a big black umbrella above the corpse! At the same time, the vocal music sounded, and a group of people walked out of the store, and the atmosphere was inevitably a little weird! But the two corpses had just left the store, and a gust of wind blew out of nowhere, blowing the red cloth on the newcomer's face directly, and everyone couldn't help but be shocked when they saw this!

The two corpses were decomposed to varying degrees, one had already decomposed its skin and muscles, and only one was left with dry bones; The other one looked like it hadn't been dead for a long time, it looked more like it had been dug up shortly after being buried, and the decomposing appearance of the corpse looked very terrifying! Even the person carrying the stretcher was almost so frightened that his hands shook and threw the body directly to the ground, but fortunately, Master Meng hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the stretcher, so as not to cause this disaster! Master Meng yelled at the man, "You give me some attention! The corpse falls to the ground and is a great murderer, and it will suffer a great disaster! With that, he quickly picked up the red cloth that had fallen on the ground and covered the two corpses well, and the group began to get back on the road again.

After everyone left, the store suddenly seemed empty, and only Fang Ping was left! But the store still seemed to be filled with a strong smell of corpses, needless to say, this was left by the corpse just now. Fang Ping stood outside the door of the store, feeling quite uncomfortable, she had never seen this one this morning, not only made people feel terrifying, but also made people feel weird, making people's backs chill, hair standing on end, remembering the scene just now, she still couldn't come back to her senses! Seeing that everyone gradually walked away and disappeared at the end of the road, Fang Ping was also about to turn around and go back to the store, but as soon as she turned around, she couldn't help but scream in horror by the scene in front of her, and sat directly on the ground with weak legs!

I saw that on the big desk in the store, that is, where the two corpses were standing just now, there was a "person" standing at this time, wearing the same clothes as the two corpses just now, with a red cloth on his head, his body was twisted and stiff, and he was gently waving towards Fang Ping with one hand! Fang Ping was so frightened that she didn't dare to come out, if it wasn't for the fact that it was daytime at this time, I'm afraid she would have fainted with fright! I saw that the "man" slowly raised his other hand, grabbed one end of the red hijab, and gently pulled it down little by little!

Fang Ping's eyes widened, staring at the "person" on the table in horror, her beating heart had already jumped to her throat, she tried her best to control her emotions, waiting for the red cloth to be uncovered... Finally, the red cloth fell down with a "swish", and under the red cloth was a bloodless face, with pale skin, and it was actually Master Meng's son!! At this time, he looked at Fang Ping and showed a strange smile! Then he opened his mouth again and whispered, "I'll marry you!" ”

I didn't see him for a day, Fang Ping almost forgot about him, and when he saw him under the red cloth, Fang Ping was shocked and angry, especially his sentence "I'll marry you!" For Fang Ping, who had just turned eighteen, it was undoubtedly a naked teasing, Fang Ping's originally frightened white face instantly turned red, and she ran up ashamed and ashamed, and scolded him, "Shameless!" "Ran straight up to the second floor!

About half an hour later, Fang Ping finally calmed down, she tentatively looked downstairs, and saw that he was not there, so she tiptoed downstairs, after all, Master Meng was not there, and the store still wanted her to come and see. After going down to the first floor, Fang Ping looked around cautiously again, and after making sure that he was not there, Fang Ping moved a chair and sat in front of the store. After this morning's incident, at least for a short period of time, Fang Ping categorically didn't dare to sit in the store alone, especially the big desk where the corpses were placed, I don't know how many corpses had been placed before! Thinking of eating at that table for the past two days, Fang Ping couldn't help but feel a burst of retching in her stomach!

There were not many guests today, and at noon, Fang Ping saw that Master Meng did not come back, so he bought a cake and dealt with it, and gradually it became dark, until seven o'clock in the evening, Master Meng finally came back with two bags of cooked food. Fang Ping took the initiative to take the food, and then put some food at the crossroads, only two days later, this seems to have become her habit! Fang Ping took her own meal and sat aside, she definitely didn't want to eat at this table anymore. Seeing this, Master Meng seemed to understand, so he asked, "What's the matter?" Scared? ”

Fang Ping hurriedly shook her head and replied, "No... No, that is... ”

Master Meng continued: "Don't be afraid, some things will slowly get used to, and there will be more such things in the future. ”

While eating, Fang Ping asked in a low voice, "Master Meng, what happened this morning... Can you tell me about it? ”

Master Meng glanced at Fang Ping and asked, "Are you interested in this?" ”

Fang Ping shook her head lightly and replied, "It's not that I'm interested, I just look at it and feel barbarous... Strange! Fang Ping couldn't find the right words in her mind to describe what happened this morning.

Master Meng put down the dishes and chopsticks, lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and said slowly, "This is called a dark marriage!" ”

"Secret marriage?" Fang Ping looked at Master Meng a little ignorantly.

Master Meng continued: "It's to marry the dead! The man died in a car accident a few days ago, and when he died, he didn't have a partner, and then he always dreamed of his parents, saying that he was alone, and then the second old man found me without help; I measured his eight characters, and just found a woman who died a few years ago, the two of them are very compatible, and the woman's parents also agreed, so I helped them pull the red line, and the man paid the gift money and hired, and today I had a happy event, and the two were buried together! ”

When Fang Ping heard this, she was even more surprised, and whispered: "Dead people can also get married? ”

Master Meng smiled coldly and replied, "Of course you can!" It is now a legal society, and in the past, if the son of a large family dies early, he will marry the living, and the woman will either be widowed in the chicken worship hall, and the serious will be buried directly alive! ”

As soon as Master Meng's words fell, Fang Ping couldn't help but feel a chill behind her, the living were buried with the dead, and she had heard of it in the emperor's tomb, but she had never heard of this tradition among the people, but she couldn't listen to this kind of cruel thing anymore, so she hurriedly lowered her head and took a few mouthfuls of food, not daring to continue the topic.
