Chapter 18: The First Meeting of the Wedding
It looks like a solid ground, but it is easy to dig a large hole.
I carried a shovel in my hand and swung it vigorously without feeling the slightest exertion, as if the soil under the ground was just loose sand.
Soon, a coffin was dug out of the ground.
The surface of the coffin is earthy yellow, like the bark of a tree, unlike the coffin made by the coffin maker.
I silently thought to myself that my daughter-in-law should be in this.
Curiosity drove me to quickly clean up the whole coffin, revealing it completely, and I was shocked when I saw the whole coffin.
This "coffin" is not a coffin, but a tree root.
The roots of the old dead tree next to it converged in one place under the ground, coiling and twisting into a whole piece, and there were no gaps between each root system, and the whole looked exactly like a coffin.
At first, I didn't expect it to be the roots of a tree.
I was stunned for a moment, and then I began to look at the strange roots, but I didn't see a problem.
At this time, the familiar voice came from inside.
"What you have in front of you is a 'living coffin', I have existed in it all these years, and now this thousand-year-old yin tree is about to die, and it can no longer bear me, which is one of the reasons why I promised your grandmother."
I suddenly understood in my heart that she was able to agree so happily, and it also had a purpose, although she helped me, but she also helped herself.
However, this is understandable, people don't kill heaven and earth for themselves.
"Okay, now you go to the old dead tree, turn three times, and then reverse three times, and chant in your mouth: gold wood, silver wood, ground wood, the old tree Yin Mu listen to me, let go of your hand, open your mouth, I will take your fate for you."
I had the Yellow River water in my mouth, where could I sing it, so I said a word, and pointed to my mouth.
"I know that you have the Yellow River water in your mouth, you don't have to say anything, just keep your voice in your mouth, go quickly, otherwise it will be dawn."
Then I started circling the old dead tree.
Three circles, three circles, the mouth came out of the voice, did not speak, but I expressed the tone of that sentence.
When it was done, the "coffin" wrapped in the roots of the tree actually separated on its own, revealing a gap on it, as if the coffin had opened its lid.
I hurried over and stared inside with wide eyes.
I really want to see what kind of existence this daughter-in-law of mine is.
Is it human?
Or a ghost?
Or is it a monster?
At first glance, I didn't see what she really looked like.
Because the coffin was covered with a red cloth, a big red cloth, and there was no pattern on it.
"Come in."
The sound came from under the cloth.
"Huh??" I replied in confusion.
She also explained: "We want to get married, my identity is special, and the etiquette is also special, you need to come into this living coffin." ”
People are not even afraid of the existence of the river god, and I am such a small person, if I really have any thoughts about me, I will not go to such great lengths.
I was single enough, and I didn't think anything about it at the time, so I jumped down as she said.
"Lie down." She said again.
I lay down on the red cloth again.
When I lay down, my body touched the things under the red cloth, which was very soft, like human flesh, and it seemed that my daughter-in-law was not as terrible as I imagined.
As soon as I lay down, the coffin formed by the roots of the tree gathered again, and tried to seal me in it.
I was startled, and was about to get up, but she stopped me.
"Don't be afraid, you'll need to stay here for a day before the wedding is complete, it's fine."
With these words, my heart was also relieved.
Soon, the roots of the tree were restored to their original state, and I was completely encased in it, but it was not as closed and dark as I had imagined.
I don't know what's so strange about the roots of the tree, but it actually manifests a bright light, just like the incandescent light used in the house, dark yellow.
There is no imaginary feeling of stuffiness inside, the air circulation is very good, and the space is not small, it is quite warm, there is no cold and cold, but it is very comfortable.
"This red cloth was sent by your grandmother two days ago, and it was also a red hijab for me, if you really want to marry me, you will lift my hijab."
I was stunned and glanced at the huge red cloth, I had never seen such a peculiar red hijab.
After being stunned for a moment, he reached out and slowly lifted it.
After the red cloth was lifted, I was stunned, the hand holding the cloth trembled vigorously, looking at the people under the cloth, and my eyes were about to come out.
A beautiful man.
Delicate and beautiful face, I can't find any shortcomings, just like an ordinary fairy, black hair reaches the waist, scattered under the body at will, tall and graceful figure, everything is the golden ratio, I can't find any shortcomings.
Such a person is not like an ordinary person who can be born and raised.
The most important thing, and what makes my heart tremble, is that such a beautiful person, under my eyes, there is no clothes on his body.
I was eighteen years old, young and restless, and I was completely captivated by the fact that I had never seen such a scene.
I didn't let go of any detail, and I didn't blink my eyes, for fear that such beauty would suddenly disappear and I would never see it again.
I don't know exactly how long I watched it, but in the end it was she who said something that woke me up.
"Look no further, there will be time in the future."
There was no shyness or anger in his voice, just calmness.
An ordinary woman, if she encounters such a situation, she will definitely not be so calm.
On the contrary, it was me, who was embarrassed by her, like a child who had done something wrong, lowered her head, her face was flushed, and she didn't know what to do.
"Chen Ping'an." She called me again.
"Hmm." I had water in my mouth and could only answer like this.
"If you lift my hijab, you are my husband, I am your wife, our wedding is also completed, and I will protect you in the future. But you must also share your life for me, and now cross the water of the Yellow River in your mouth into my body, so that our two lives are connected, and I can leave here. ”
Actually, after seeing her appearance, I don't blame my grandmother for finding this daughter-in-law for me, because I am really satisfied.
An eighteen-year-old man, or a big boy, doesn't know much about emotions, or he can be said to be short-sighted, and he only looks at his face, anyway, I have a good impression of her at first sight, and I also approve of this daughter-in-law.
It's just that what she said to protect me hurt my self-esteem a little.
A man, but he wants a woman to protect him, it's a shame to say it, and I can't get over it in my own heart.
The latter sentence asked me to cross the Yellow River water in my mouth to her, which made it difficult for my heart to calm down.
Give it to her, it's a skin-to-skin kiss!
I breathed a sigh of relief and settled down, and I wasn't a coward, and besides, this was a serious business, and I had to do it.
After thinking clearly, he lowered his head and pasted that beautiful face that was intolerable to the world.
The water of the Yellow River has become warm in my mouth, and after touching her mouth, I immediately felt a warm feeling, she is definitely not alone, but she still has the temperature of a person.
Immediately, the water of the Yellow River flowed into her mouth like a warm current from my mouth.
At this time, I felt her body tense, as if she was panting heavily, and her limbs, which had not been able to move just now, also moved slightly.
I got up and stepped back, leaving room for her to stretch.
After about half a minute, her hands were able to move like a normal person, and she was still trying to stand up, I wanted to help, but she refused.
We waited until she was mostly able to move before we started talking.
She faced me, not shy about her appearance, and said calmly: "Chen Ping'an, I have taken your lifespan now, you yourself may not feel it yet, but you really only have half of your lifespan, and now there is no chance to regret it." ”
"Ahh I didn't expect her to say this, and after answering a sentence, I added: "I have no regrets, if it weren't for you, I might have died a long time ago." ”
She nodded, no longer said this, but said again: "Although we are married, but I am not an ordinary person, if you use your physical state to do the gift of husband and wife with me, I am afraid that you will die, so we can only have the name of husband and wife, you understand." ”
I naturally understand what I said.
Looking at her appearance, it's not fake, but I feel that my man's self-esteem has been greatly hurt.
My tone was a little unkind, and said, "I understand what you mean, I don't dare to say that I am a gentleman, but I am not a villain, and I will not force you to do anything." ”
"In addition, I will tell you clearly right now that I am a man, and if I marry you, I will protect you, and I will... I have you in my own power. ”
"Huh." She laughed, as if she had heard some joke.
Although I didn't say anything sarcastic, this laughter also stung me deeply.
At that time, I couldn't help but swear in my heart that I would definitely qualify myself and be worthy of her.
We were silent for a while, neither of us spoke, until I calmed down and then began to talk to her further.
"Your eyes?" I asked.
From the beginning, I didn't see her open her eyes, and now she can move freely, but it's still closed.
She replied directly: "Blind." ”
"Blind?!"
I was surprised, not because I was disgusted, but because I thought that she was such a powerful character, how could she be blind.
"What, joke that I'm blind?" She laughed at me, faintly targeting me everywhere.
"No, no." I explained.
After that, I was silent for a while, and after thinking for a while, I still asked a question that was deep in my heart.
"You... You shouldn't be human, are you a ghost, what are you? I don't mean anything else, but now that I'm married to you, I don't want to be unclear, I just want to know what you are? ”
