Chapter 16: The White Mist
The wedding was chosen today, and I was going out to welcome the bride back, Huang Aiqing said that he had to be on time, so he took 9:18 in the morning.
The people who greeted the family were some young girls in the village, and the sedan chair man chose a few aunts in their forties to take turns to carry and walk, and they went to pick up the relatives and prepared them, such as candy peanuts, as well as all kinds of new clothes and new quilts, all of which were piled up, and the vast and vast dozens of people welcomed the family, so it was not spectacular.
When the time came to set off to welcome the bride, I, as the groom's officer, took the brunt of the greeting procession, leading the group to set off in the sound of firecrackers.
Huang Sanniang's home is in the northernmost part of the village, and if you set off from our house, it usually takes a while, not to mention the formation of today's welcoming team, which will go even slower. Because according to what Huang Aiqing said, I have done this as a great joy, and I have to go a little slower to keep the festivities for a longer time, and ask for a better auspiciousness.
Our team beat gongs and drums all the way, walked for more than half an hour, and then came to the door of Huang Sanniang's house, their family is also festive, under Huang Aiqing's arrangement, this has come to the bride's house, of course, the groom official wants to enter the house, and the bride is taken out.
I was very excited and came to the bride's boudoir, Huang Sanniang was guarding the door outside, and asked me to go in and bring the bride out with a smile.
Pushing open the door and entering, a very strong fragrance came to the nose, and the bride Huang Surong was wearing a red bridal robe with a hundred birds and a phoenix, with a red hijab on her head, revealing only a pair of small hands as white as jade.
I stepped forward and asked a little nervously: "Su Rong, I'll pick you up..."
"yes, okay."
The bride hummed softly, raised her hand to me, and motioned for me to lead her out.
For example, in the past, I didn't touch the hands of other girls, but like now, holding Huang Surong's hand made me feel very heavy, because I knew that I was no longer holding the hand of an ordinary girl, but my wife, a woman who wanted to accompany me for the rest of my life.
After leading Huang Surong out, the welcoming team set off crackling firecrackers, I lifted the bridal sedan chair and let Huang Surong sit in, Huang Aiqing shouted: "Get up the sedan chair and go to worship the nine days of Niangniang!" ”
This Huang Aiqing has already said that after the bride receives it, she can't go back to the house directly, but has to go to the temple of Jiutian Niangniang to worship, so that she can get the blessing of Jiutian Niangniang.
In this way, our greeting team was lively and lively, and we came to stop in front of the Jiutian Niangniang Temple.
Although this is next to the blessed land, the cemetery where people are buried in the village seems to be a little unsuitable for today's atmosphere, but because today's wedding scene is too lively, it has also affected here, and no one will think that it is an unlucky thing for the welcoming team to stay next to it.
Stop the sedan chair, I took the bride out again, entered the temple of Jiutian Niangniang, and sent roast chicken and duck, as well as fruit and other worship food, Huang Aiqing asked me to kneel down with the bride, bow my head to Jiutian Niangniang for a while, so that we can get the blessing of Jiutian Niangniang, so that our married life is sweet and happy.
After the worship of the Nine Heavenly Niangniang, the bride sat back in the sedan chair, and our welcoming team really went back.
It's just that when we just got up the sedan chair and walked out of the blessed land, the sky was still quite clear, but somehow, layers of white fog suddenly rose, and it was getting thicker and thicker, blurring the area that was still familiar, and we couldn't tell the direction at all, how to go.
"Don't panic, everyone, it's just fog, stabilize the team and walk slowly."
Although Huang Aiqing shouted loudly to command, this layer of white fog was too thick, making it difficult for people to see the surrounding line of sight clearly, so that all the people in the welcoming team behind him were separated, and there was no shadow for a while.
"Don't panic Weilan baby, follow me."
In this case, only Huang Aiqing and I and the sedan chair could be seen together, and they were not lost in the white fog.
I followed Huang Aiqing behind, leading the sedan chair to the front, although Huang Aiqing did not look like other people, as soon as she encountered the situation, she seemed more panicked, but I followed her to the front, and walked for a while, but still did not get rid of the white fog, and was still trapped in the white expanse.
"It's really strange, how can there be so much fog when it's so good." An aunt who carried the sedan chair complained.
We have been in the white fog for a long time, if we judge by the normal route, such a long time, not to mention going out of this place, even home has already arrived.
But now, we are still in the white fog, as if we are completely disoriented, and we don't know what to do.
"No, it's not like a normal fog."
Huang Aiqing seemed to sense something abnormal, "Suddenly there is such a fog, it has to be after the heavy rain, and it has been sunny for the past few days, and it is still daylight, and even if there is really an occasional fog, it will not be that we have all walked for so long and have always been in the fog." ”
"Could it be..."
Huang Aiqing frowned and said, "I'm afraid that we are here, and we have encountered a ghost hitting the wall!" ”
The meaning of this ghost hitting the wall, listening to Huang Aiqing explain, is that he has encountered something unclean and deliberately creating some trouble, so there is this strange white fog, which is inexplicable in broad daylight, no matter how we walk in this white fog, we can't get out of the evil door.
"In this case, it's up to you now, Weilan."
Huang Aiqing told me directly that the way to break this ghost wall is to let me take off my pants and pee on the ground in front of me, so that I can go out.
This method of cracking is really ingenious, but it is also simple.
I didn't hesitate, knowing that this was not the time to be shy, so I immediately took a few steps forward, unbuttoned my pants and peed out.
In other words, it's quite easy for me to pee, but the problem is that I've already finished urinating, and the white mist around me still hasn't dissipated, as if it has no effect.
Seeing this, Huang Aiqing's brows furrowed even more, a little unexpected, "No, this boy's urine can break the ghost and hit the wall, it is impossible to break it." Could it be that you are no longer a child......
I was a little shy and quickly explained: "Ah, yes, I am." ”
Actually said that about me, although I have played with many girls in the village, but I have not had that kind of relationship with a girl until now, the closest one is that I almost had a relationship with Huang Mumu, and I was finally stopped by Huang Aiqing, until now, I am still an authentic little boy.
Huang Aiqing read suspiciously: "This ghost hits the wall, why can't even crack the child's urine, it's still like this......"
Now, even the village chief can't get out, and I don't know what to do.
"Village Chief, look, it looks like someone is coming in front!"
A sedan chair bearer suddenly pointed to the white fog in front of him, and other figures vaguely appeared.
"Yes, there seems to be a sound of suona blowing." Another palanquin man said.
Huang Aiqing, who was in contemplation, raised his head, and also looked ahead, his brows still did not ease, "What's the matter, why is there still someone in front of ......?"
I've seen that there are actually people coming in front of me, and as we get closer, there is not just one person in front of us, but many others, like a team, coming towards us.
With the appearance of those people in front of them, while these people were coming, the white mist leaning next to these people gradually dispersed.
So that we can clearly see that these people are dressed in snow-white cloth robes, with high white hats, and holding white whiskers in their hands, and they are also all women.
Their faces were covered with a layer of very white, bloodless white makeup, their eyes were dark and deep, and they were carrying a square coffin as black as ink with expressionless faces, and they were also beating gongs and drums, but they were singing low mournful music, swaying the white dark money in the sky, and walked towards us step by step......
