◎Chapter 46 Yin Relatives and Secret Marriage

There is a famous photo of a secret marriage circulating on the Internet, which has frightened countless people.

The photos are hard to distinguish between real and fake, and they look eerie. The man's fists clenched, looking nervous; The woman's expression was dull, her eyes turned up, and her feet were hanging in the air. It is said that this is a wedding photo of a living and a dead man. The woman in the photo is dead, and the man is married to the female corpse upside down and inherits the family property.

Underworld marriage is also known as yin marriage, ghost marriage, underworld marriage, etc., that is, in order to make the dead unmarried children not lonely underground, and find a lifelong partner for the underground lover, the family seeks a suitable corpse to be buried together. It is divided into two types: dead and dead and dead and alive.

It is not often for the living and the dead to be married, but it is not surprising in some places that the dead and the dead are married, and it has spawned into a new profession beyond the three hundred and sixty lines - the introduction of yin marriage.

In Kaiping, an advertising leaflet for the "Secret Marriage Agency" was posted on the exterior wall of a residential building.

In the area of Yulin, Luliang and Linfen, each wreath shop hangs a sign introducing the marriage of the underworld.

This profession is also known as a ghost matchmaker, which specializes in helping the dead introduce them to a partner, and charges a certain fee after a successful match. After the negotiation is completed, they will arrange for the relatives of the two deceased to meet, and the blind date is to look at each other's corpses, and the female corpses that have just died are particularly sought-after, and the supply exceeds the demand, and there are also people who want the corpses that are decomposing or decomposing.

A wreath shop owner who works part-time to introduce the underworld marriage persuaded a parent who wanted to marry in this way: Your son died in a car accident, and his body is gone, don't dislike others, isn't the girl just a bad point? Skinny, you know?

The parents of the marriage asked: How much bride price should I give to the woman's family?

The owner of the wreath shop said: The corpse of a woman who just died, more than 30,000 yuan, is often priceless. There was a female college student who died of illness, she was so beautiful, she was still highly educated, and many people came to grab it, and in the end it was 40,000 yuan...... You have to get at least 10,000 yuan for this.

The parents of the yin marriage asked: Do you want to ask Mr. Yin and Yang to calculate the eight characters, choose an hour, and what is the yin marriage ceremony like?

Cai Mingliang and Cai Xiaoxi were baby relatives before their deaths, and after their deaths, their parents held a secret marriage for their two children one night.

The police found a copy of the officiating speech of the marriage ceremony at that time, which is excerpted below:

Dear Friends and Family, Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen,

Put a string of firecrackers at the time of burial, and do not accompany the burial of boys and girls in the grave. ）

Cai Mingliang and Cai Xiaoxi's parents claimed to the police that they did not force their children to have a secret marriage. The deceased will be married, and there will be an omen in the family in advance. There was a couple of underworld marriages, and the man's mother dreamed that her dead son was holding a large stone ball, and when the son just died, the family was very unstable. A few days later, one of my son's female classmates died of illness, and the female classmate happened to be surnamed Shi. When sorting out the relics, I found a love letter written by the girl, and it turned out that the two had been in love for a long time, and the woman's parents took the initiative to find a match.

When Cai Mingliang and Cai Xiaoxi's mother were pregnant, they met a barefoot Taoist priest.

There is an old persimmon tree at the entrance of the village, and the ripe persimmons fall to the ground and fall to pieces. When the sun was about to set, two women who were pregnant with Liujia saw a barefoot Taoist priest sitting under a tree collecting persimmons to eat, and they went up to ask the Taoist priest to tell the fortune of the child in her belly.

The barefoot Taoist priest said, "The two children in your womb were born as a boy and a girl.

Cai Mingliang's mother said: God, I just did a B-ultrasound, and it's a boy.

Cai Xiaoxi's mother said: I didn't do B ultrasound, I eat spicy, and they all said that when I was pregnant, I loved spicy food and gave birth to girls.

The barefoot Taoist priest said: The two children you gave birth to were a husband and wife in the previous life, and they are also husband and wife in this life, and they will be reincarnated as husband and wife in the next life. This is called the third husband and wife, the marriage is determined, and no one can change it. But...... Girls are the fate of two husbands.

Cai Xiaoxi's mother asked: What is the fate of the two husbands?

The barefoot Taoist priest floated away, and before leaving, he said: You will know later.

Two children were born, and sure enough, a boy and a girl. Both parents believed the words of the Taoist priest and set up baby kisses for the two children.

The two children spent their childhood in that small, dilapidated mountain village with many persimmon trees. Cai Mingliang and Cai Xiaoxi cut pigweed together, climbed trees and picked persimmons together, went to school together, sheltered from the rain in the tree hole together, and traced the old scars on the stump with their fingers together.

The mountain breeze blows through the cliffs, a rain of petals, and the grass around the tree hole is full of flowers.

Several girls in the same village were jumping rubber bands on the grass, and Cai Mingliang was lying on a big smooth stone to write homework; Cai Xiaoxi dances and sings at the same time, this is a wedding girl ballad that is widely circulated in mountain villages and the countryside:

Daisy flowers, lotus flowers, dress up and sit down!

Pea flowers, pomegranate flowers, dress up the girl!

Plantains, horseshoe flowers, married girls get on the bus!

Peony flowers, money flowers, get off the married girl!

Cai Mingliang ran over and clapped his hands and said with a smile: cousin, aunt, wife, daughter-in-law, wife, lover, lover, sweetheart......

Cai Xiaoxi glared at him with a small face and spit on the ground

drool, said: Phew, shameless.

The children of the same village began to make noise, and one of the children said, "When you grow up, you will get married."

Cai Mingliang continued to shout: Bride, I have a bride.

Cai Xiaoxi said: Bah, don't think about it, I won't marry you.

Cai Mingliang said: You were my bride in your last life, and you will still be my bride in the next life, said the fortune teller.

In addition to playing, the two children also have to do some farm work. There is no coal in the mountain village, firewood is burned in all seasons, and every household will store some firewood before the rainy season. On the way out of school, the children have to chop firewood, bundle it into stacks, and carry it home with sticks. Cai Xiaoxi has little strength, so he can only pick up dead branches, and the bundle of firewood is very small, and he will be scolded when he takes it home. Cai Mingliang chops a large load of firewood every time and carries it on his shoulders like a hill. A child with a hippie smile will instantly grow into a simple and silent peasant boy when he is working. Once, when it was raining, Cai Xiaoxi picked up a dead tree trunk, and she carried it on her shoulders with great difficulty, gritting her teeth and moving forward step by step.

Cai Mingliang said: Throw it away, you can't carry it.

Cai Xiaoxi said: I don't.

Cai Xiaoxi was so tired that she couldn't walk, Cai Mingliang took the firewood on her shoulder, and the firewood of the two people was carried by him alone. A load of hard firewood like a hill and a tree trunk is an unbearable weight for a ten-year-old.

He sweated with every step.

She admired his strength from the bottom of her heart, but she didn't know how tired and bitter he was.

How far is it to get home?

Isn't that what husband and wife are all about? Share the wind and rain together, and bear the burden of life together.

It was raining, and the two children walked in the rain and were silent. He carried a large load of firewood, and she held an umbrella for him. The rain was pouring and it didn't fall heavily, but his clothes were all wet, and there were droplets of water hanging from his hair and eyebrows, and she couldn't bear to look at it, so she had to walk behind him. The two children don't understand what love is, they go to school together, walk together, chop wood together, agree to the middle school in the city together, and they want to get married when they grow up. She looked at his back, and felt an indescribable discomfort in her heart, whimpering and wanting to cry.

Cai Mingliang asked: What's the matter, Xiaoxi?

Cai Xiaoxi said: I want to cry.

Cai Mingliang said: Then you can cry.

The little girl burst into tears, and the tears that she had endured for thousands of years finally burst out of her eyes......

At that moment, on the side of the river of time, one butterfly said to another: Brother Liang, don't come to harm?

If there are past lives and future lives, where are the peonies blooming in Luoyang, the lotus flowers withering in Jinan, the plum blossoms in Jinling, and the moon season blooming in Beijing, where is our home in the past and future lives?

From the Western Jin Dynasty to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, from Chang'an to Xi'an, Sansheng III, you are still in my heart. We have always been inseparable, butterfly wings agreed to fly twice, who is playing the piano in the pavilion? The apricot blossoms fell to the ground and turned into dust.

From regular script to line script, from long notes to text messages, thousands of rivers and mountains, I am still in your dreams. We have never been different, our fingertips have promised to get drunk together, who is sending you off by the grass bridge? It snowed heavily, and the road was covered with snow.

The first worship of heaven and earth is also the last thank heaven and earth.
