Chapter 12: The Marriage Book of Spilled Blood

There was a stab.

The flames danced, instantly dispelling a small patch of darkness.

The old men in shrouds also paused and stopped.

The flames from these paper coins are actually dark blue, and although they are flames, they can't make people feel any temperature from them. At the same time, I was stared at by several old men, and I felt like I was falling into an ice cave.

Cluck...... Cluck......

One of them was an old man stretching his rotting neck, twitching, and making strange noises. It stared at the half-burned yin and yang money in my hand, showing a very greedy face.

This face is long, narrow and long, full of corpse spots, and the lips are frighteningly black.

I didn't dare to look any more, and I had to be paralyzed by fright if I looked at it any more. When the yin and yang money burned to ashes, it blew with the yin wind, and after a circle, I found that the yin and yang money that had been burned had changed back to its original appearance and scattered all over the ground with the wind.

When the old men in shrouds saw this, they immediately squatted down to pick up the yin and yang money.

To be honest, the first time I saw it, I really felt very strange, and I don't know what the reason is, the paper money was obviously burned, but it was able to appear in another place intact and be picked up by them. Of course, I didn't have the heart to think about these things at this time, and when the money on the ground was gone, they didn't leave, and stood there staring at me, completely insatiable.

If I don't continue to burn paper money, they will stare at me and even continue to move closer to me.

I had no choice but to continue burning paper money.

But the result is still the same after burning, they don't leave, they stare at me, and wait for me to continue burning paper money. Moreover, there were more and more of them, at first a dozen, and later, at least twenty or thirty, and many more were crawling out of the mounds. Among them, a few old ladies kept staring at the paper skirt next to me, and their mouths were gurgling.

That's not for them, so I naturally can't burn them for them, so I have to continue to burn yin and yang money to pass the time. However, the paper thing is very impatient, and a basket of yin and yang money, in less than half an hour, was almost burned by me.

However, there are more and more ghosts around me.

I found that the method taught to me by Mrs. Wang not only failed to send these ghosts away, but instead put me in a predicament surrounded by a hundred ghosts.

Didn't Mrs. Wang say that she was nearby, and now that the situation is so serious, what about her?

I feel that I have been deceived again, and the ghost daughter-in-law can't marry, I'm afraid that I will be eaten alive by these ghosts first. At this time, I regret it a lot, I shouldn't have chosen to believe in Wang Shenpo at all!

But now, it's too late to regret it.

Burning the last dozen yin and yang coins, there is still more than half an hour before the auspicious time of the good day that Wang Shenpo said. Those ghosts in shrouds keep gathering, more and more. Originally, I was just picking up yin and yang money, but later they looked at me one by one, licking their tongues, and they were flowing with black haras, which was extremely disgusting.

They looked at me as if they were looking at something delicious.

I seem to be more "attractive" to them than yin and yang money.

The surrounding area of the wordless monument is impassable, and the black shadows are moving.

I suddenly thought that I had the amulet given by the king goddess on my body, so I took it out and tried it, which was also a disappointment, that thing didn't work at all, they weren't afraid of this.

Especially those old ladies, staring at the paper clothes next to me, whining and saying something, almost pounced. I said in my heart, I don't even have my life, what's the use of asking for those paper clothes, so I just burned the paper clothes, maybe I can delay for a few minutes.

I immediately lit a foreign fire and was about to burn the paper clothes, but suddenly I heard the sound of horses' hooves.

The sound of horses' hooves seemed to break through the air, and the sound was extremely ethereal. It seems to come from a very distant place, but it seems to be very close, like an aftersound.

Hearing this movement, the old men and old ladies in shrouds were all stunned.

At first, they seemed to be confused, but after half a minute, they stared at the top of the hill in the distance behind the wordless monument, and their faces were distorted.

I don't know if it's a delusion, but I feel like I'm seeing a look of horror on their faces.

Then, even more exaggerated, they rolled and crawled, and all the smoke went into the grave, and soon there was no movement. I'm afraid that if I meet the king of Hades, it won't be like this, right?

Then.

On the slope of the old grave, behind the wordless monument.

A wisp of green smoke curled.

A tall white horse stepped out of the smoke.

I recognized the white horse at a glance, and it must be the paper horse I burned in the evening. Because, the reins on the horse's neck were specially dyed red by the king's goddess, which is rare and very conspicuous.

Above the white horse.

The woman in red covered her face with a red veil, she held the reins of a horse, and the wide sleeves of her blood-red Luo skirt made a strong sound under the mountain wind, and suddenly, she was swaying a little heroic.

I stood under the wordless monument and looked at her, and for a moment, I was a little stunned. Although I couldn't see her face clearly, my heart was beating inexplicably. The woman in red looked at me on the white horse, and she was a little sluggish, I don't know if I decorated her heart, or if she decorated my dreams.

Honestly, I never thought she would be so amazing.

In a moment, she dismounted from her horse.

I didn't hear her footsteps, but she was already in front of me.

At such a distance, she didn't speak, and I didn't know what to say, but she suddenly raised her hand and stroked my face, as if frowning, and asked, "Does it hurt?" ”

"What?" I had no idea why she would ask.

Since she has appeared, it means that the auspicious time has arrived, and when the auspicious time arrives, it also means that my grandfather's 29 limit has also reached the deadline. Only when my marriage with her is decided, my grandfather has a glimmer of life, the situation is urgent, there can be no delay, thinking of this, I immediately took out the mahogany box and the marriage book.

"You must be Weiyang, my name is Lin Yi, I ...... I've loved you for a long time...... Think...... Would you like to marry you? "I asked awkwardly, and for some reason, I blushed when I asked myself. Her eyes seemed to tremble as she heard me say this, and at last, along with her picturesque brow, furrowed.

Although I can't see her face clearly, the feeling she gives me reminds me of Wang Shenpo's description of her, maybe there is really no exaggeration.

At this moment, I even forgot that she was not alive.

When I finished speaking, she still didn't move.

I didn't think it worked, so I took out the marriage book and expressed my sincerity.

But even so, she still didn't move, I don't know if she was hesitating, or for some other reason, she was just staring at me, and I was a little uncomfortable.

Mrs. Wang confessed, but the woman really didn't agree, so she opened the mahogany box and gave her the engagement gift in it.

I immediately did so, and in the wooden box was a pair of vermilion hairpins. Zhu Hai is very exquisite, it is definitely a priceless object, I don't know if it is my illusion, when I took out this pair of Zhu Hai, her body trembled slightly, this thing seems to really touch her.

It seems that what Mrs. Wang said is right, with this thing, she will definitely agree to this marriage.

Sure enough, after seeing the pair of vermilion hairpins, she stepped forward and stretched out her slender jade fingers from the flaming wide sleeves, as if she was about to write her name.

But at this moment, suddenly, the wind was fierce, and the cypress trees whined like a ghost crying wolf. A bolt of lightning pierced the night sky. At that moment, like day, the earth seemed extremely hideous.

Let's go!

A striking drop of blood dripped on the marriage book.

The blood stunted out, and it seemed to engulf the entire marriage book. At the same time, the red hairpin in the mahogany box was also broken into two.

"You're not him!" There was a little anger in her eyes.

"Who?" I didn't understand what she was saying.

"Why did you lie to me?" She asked rhetorically.

"I didn't ......" I had no idea what she was talking about, and I looked confused. At the same time, the wind intensified, and the dark night sky was shattered by lightning and thunder, and dark clouds rolled as if a heavy rain was about to come at any moment.

After she finished speaking, she ignored me, climbed on the white horse, and went all the way to the old grave slope. But when she reached the top of the old grave, she paused for a moment and looked back at me. However, when the next lightning came, her figure and the white horse had disappeared without a trace.

She went so fast that I didn't even have time to beg her to stay, and she was gone, what would my grandfather do?

I chased all the way to the top of the hill of the old grave, but she was nowhere to be seen.

I was about to continue my search for her, when I suddenly saw a man standing motionless like a black stake under the cypress not far ahead.

Between the lightning and thunder, his face flickered brightly and darkly, and it was extremely gloomy.

It's a lame horse!

It was he who turned to ashes, and I knew that he was not dead.

"The girl wants a sincere heart, but you came with a wolf's heart and a dog's lungs. If I were her, I wouldn't have agreed to this marriage! The lame man said in a gloomy voice, and walked towards me.

I can't refute this, if it weren't for saving my grandfather, I would never have risked getting engaged to a female ghost, so it's true that my motives are not pure.

But there's no way around it, I can't leave my grandfather alone.

"Yiwa, think about it, what do you have, what can you give her, if you want to be the son-in-law of the Ye family, you have to have a certain background. You don't even know what you are and where you came from, don't you think it's ridiculous to come here to propose? These few words of the lame horse, there is obviously something in the words.

"What do you mean?"

"Yiwa, do you think the villagers of Laojieling Village are the same as you? Of course, you must think so. Then let me ask you again, do you have parents? Have you ever drunk alcohol? Is it true that your grandfather never answered your question and never let you touch the wine, even if it was just a sip, right? ”

The lame man continued to ask rhetorically, and his words pierced my heart again.

My grandfather has always avoided talking about my parents' affairs, and no matter how much I dwell on them, the result is the same. Aside from not being allowed to go to the grave on February 2, the most important taboo for me was drinking. Once, when I was a child, I had a naughty sip with Erfat, and went back to a coma for three days, and I didn't know what happened during these three days.

When I woke up, my grandfather told me very seriously that if I dared to drink again, he would stop recognizing me. At the time, I understood that I was severely allergic to alcohol and that drinking alcohol would be dangerous, and my grandfather would say this because he cared about me, so I didn't think much about it, so I didn't drink alcohol ever since.

I don't quite know, why did the lame horse suddenly mention this?

"Yiwa, have you ever wondered what kind of ...... you are?"

"Don't say it, I don't believe it!" The lame horse is the best at demagogy, and I definitely won't believe his nonsense, and I really don't want to continue listening to it.

"Really? You really didn't doubt it? Well, there's a glass of wine on the tombstone next to you, and if you have the guts to feel like you're a human being, drink it! ”

On the bluestone tombstone next to it, there was indeed a glass of wine.

The red porcelain wine glass looks like one used for toasting.
