I remember that night was the same as the night twelve years ago, it was snowing heavily, and my dad made a pot of hot dumplings and was eating them on the table of eight immortals in the hall.

Just as we were halfway through the dumplings, a white Audi A6 suddenly stopped at the door of my house, and the dazzling headlights shone into the house from the outside, and suddenly compared the dim incandescent light inside the house.

My dad and I put down our chopsticks almost at the same time and looked out the door.

The car door opened, and out came a very fashionably dressed woman, wearing delicate light makeup, wearing straight black hair, and carrying a white suitcase in her hand, giving people the feeling of being a movie star.

The woman got out of the car and walked straight into my house, at first I thought the woman was going to the wrong door, I was just about to get up and ask, but the dumpling bowl in my father's hand suddenly fell to the ground with a snap, and then he called out with a rapid breath: "Xiaoqin." ”

At this moment, my pupils also shrank suddenly, and my dad didn't admit it, because the woman in front of me was so similar to Fu Xiaoqin, who was born back then.

However, Fu Xiaoqin was already taken to the back mountain by my father and killed twelve years ago, how could she suddenly appear at my door again?

The woman didn't answer, she came directly to the table of the Eight Immortals in my hall, and then put the white suitcase on the table, and said, "Uncle Ye, the baby back then, it doesn't count." ”

As soon as these words came out, my heart suddenly hung in the air, and my father's face became extremely strange at this time, he did not answer, and remained silent.

"That's good."

My father's silence was taken by the woman as a tacit acquiescence, and she opened the white box on the table.

The moment the box was opened, I was dumbfounded, because the box contained a whole box of banknotes.

And on top of these banknotes, there is still a very dazzling golden hairpin, which is a crested hairpin, the whole body is pale gold, the surface is engraved with a very delicate pattern, and the front end is a lively crested head, as if as long as you touch a certain mechanism on it, the golden hairpin will turn into a phoenix and fly away.

The woman didn't care what our reaction was, and simply pushed the box in front of my father: "Uncle Ye, here is 300,000 yuan, it's my dowry money, you take it first." ”

After saying this, the woman picked up the crested golden hairpin and put it in my hand, the moment I touched the woman's finger, I suddenly felt a cold finger bones, and my back was soaked with a large piece of cold sweat, that feeling was like touching a piece of ice, this is definitely not the temperature of a living person, only a dead man's hand will be so cold.

"Ye Nan, keep this phoenix hairpin for me, this is my dowry, and on the day of the cave room, I will let you put it on my head with your own hands."

After saying this, the woman actually turned around and walked out of my hall and got into the Audi A6 outside.

From the beginning of her entry to the moment she left now, it was only a few minutes, but in these few minutes, everything in this hall seemed to be completely controlled by a woman, she was like a queen on top, her every move seemed ordinary, but invisibly, it did not give me and my father any room to refute.

Until the woman drove away for a long time, I still felt panicked, I looked at my dad and hurriedly asked, "Dad, is she Fu Xiaoqin?" ”

"Yes."

I didn't expect my dad to answer so simply, and after I got my dad's confirmation, a drop of cold sweat instantly slipped down my forehead: "Twelve years ago, wasn't Fu Xiaoqin killed by you and buried in the back mountain?" Why did she come back alive now, and what happened that night? ”

As soon as I finished speaking, my father, who had been sitting on the bench and kept silent, suddenly turned his head to stare at me, his expression became very strange, his facial muscles trembled slightly, and there were some bloodshot spots in his eyes full of furrows, and there was a little fierce light.

I was so frightened by my dad's eyes, it felt like I was being targeted by a wild beast, and I had never seen him look so horrified and sharp in all the years I had spent all these years with him.

Then, my dad did something I didn't expect, he slammed the box up, and walked out the door with the box.

An ominous premonition instantly hit me, and I hurried up to stop my dad and ask him where he was going.

My dad pushed me away, and his voice was mixed with trills when he spoke: "Anan, you stay at home tonight, don't go anywhere, before dawn, if I haven't come back, go to the east of the village to find Mrs. Zhang, don't look for me everywhere." ”

After saying this, my dad walked outside without looking back, the cold wind blew down the door of the hall to my body, biting cold, and the goose feather snow outside quickly covered the footprints left by my dad when he left, and soon, my dad was no longer visible outside.

And my dad left and never came back.

It was dawn, and the snow outside was much lighter, and I didn't sleep all night, but I didn't make it to wait for my dad to come home.

I'm not a fool, I know that this matter must be big, I didn't dare to think about it, I went out as soon as possible, and according to my father's instructions, I went to the house of Mrs. Zhang in the east of the village.

This matchmaker is a celebrity in our area, not because of how good she is at being a matchmaker, in fact, Zhang matchmaker is not a live matchmaker, but a dark matchmaker, the so-called matchmaker is specially matched for people to marry the underworld.

And this time my dad actually asked me to find Mrs. Zhang, which had to make me more sure of the strangeness of this matter, Fu Xiaoqin, who should have been dead for twelve years, suddenly found me and asked to complete the marriage contract of the year, but my dad asked me to find such a matchmaker, which basically determines that the woman who came to my house last night is Fu Xiaoqin, who has become a ghost.

Thinking of this, my scalp couldn't help but tingle, and when I came to Mrs. Zhang's house, she happened to be sitting in front of her house for breakfast.

Mrs. Zhang is only in her early sixties this year, but she is hunched over, her face is full of wrinkles, she looks very old, and the most unbearable thing is that she wears a hairpin sewn with a black flower the size of a child's palm on her head all the year round, which looks particularly awkward and uncomfortable.

Seeing that I suddenly appeared in front of her house, Mrs. Zhang was a little surprised, she put down the bowl in her hand and asked me what was wrong.

I immediately told Mrs. Zhang what happened last night, and after she heard it, her whole face suddenly froze.

Looking at Mrs. Zhang's expression, I also became extremely worried in my heart, and hurriedly asked, "Granny Zhang, my father asked me to come to you before leaving, can you help us?" ”

Mrs. Zhang was silent for a long time without speaking, and then she turned around and walked towards a side room, whispering as she walked: "It's only been twelve years, I didn't expect this day to come so quickly." ”

Mrs. Zhang's muttering surprised me, why would she think that twelve years is a short time, the night Fu Xiaoqin was taken to the back mountain, Mrs. Zhang did come forward to stop my dad and them, but she did not enter the back mountain with my dad and them, but why do I feel that whether it is my dad or the current Mrs. Zhang, it seems that Fu Xiaoqin will come back.

About ten minutes later, Mrs. Zhang walked out of the side room, and in her hand, there was a black cloth bag, and the cloth bag also had a yellow charm pasted on it.

She walked in front of me, the whole person looked very serious, and then put the black cloth bag in my hand, and then she took out a stack of paper money and incense candles from a basket next to her, and said to me: "At nine o'clock tonight, go to the entrance of the back mountain to light the incense and candle paper money, and then burn this black cloth bag." ”

"After burning, immediately bow three times, the first time facing the southeast, the second time facing the location of the Houshan Heavenly Burial Cave, and the third time is facing the place where you burn the black cloth bag, remember, after worshipping, leave immediately, no matter what movement you hear behind, don't look back."

I didn't understand why Mrs. Zhang asked me to worship three times, but I didn't think much about it, so I asked her what was in the black cloth bag.

At this time, Mrs. Zhang's expression became a little strange, and she was silent for several seconds before she said two words faintly: "Dowry." ”
