Chapter 57 Red and White Weddings
The people in the village were confused, and it was clear that they had just become a parent, why did they go to greet them again?
And Hu Xueli and the provincial capital where they went by carriage came back in the evening of the second day, the sky was still dripping and scared of the rain, and there were red hydrangeas hanging on the carriage, but the expressions of those who went to pick up their relatives were not quite right.
The carriage went directly into Hu Xueli's house, and soon, the news that Hu Xueli had married a dead old lady spread in the village.
Some people say that Hu Xueli was messing with this old lady in the provincial capital, and some people say that Hu Xueli must have been raised by this old lady, and he was a little white face in the city before.
The more these words spread, the more they listened, but the marriage still had to be done.
The fish-eyed old lady had been dead for many days, and her body was not decomposing, so she lay stiffly in the happy room.
The whole banquet was extremely quiet, and Hu Xueli didn't even dare to enter the cave room.
But Long Xuanling said that no link can be left behind, otherwise, the resentful soul of this fish-eyed old lady will not be able to be sent away.
Wedding wine generally has to go through three rounds of wine, but the villagers know that they are marrying a dead man, so they don't dare to stay longer, and after eating and drinking, they leave early.
I also asked Zhang Yufen to help the village chief upstairs to rest, while I was with Long Xuanling, quietly watching in from the window.
Hu Xueli was frightened and didn't dare to approach the body of the fish-eyed old lady at all, but just stood with his back against the wall.
After a long time, he seemed to remember what Long Xuanling had told him that he had to sleep under a quilt with the old lady's corpse tonight, so he walked towards the corpse in the wedding dress with a painful face.
He lifted the red hijab tremblingly, and an old woman's face was revealed, and I was also shocked in my heart, thinking that this old lady could be Hu Xueli's grandmother.
Hu Xueli didn't dare to look at the corpse, but lay directly on the bed and covered the corpse with a quilt.
The room fell into complete silence, and I raised my eyes and looked at Long Xuanling, wondering if this was the end of the matter.
But seeing that Long Xuanling was still squinting his eyes and looking straight into the hole in the paper window, I could only calm down and continue to look into the hole.
As time passed, Hu Xueli's snoring came from inside the house.
He went to pick up his relatives overnight last night, and today he tossed for another day, and naturally fell asleep quickly when he lay on such a soft happy bed.
But when he fell asleep, the corpse beside him moved.
I couldn't help but widen my eyes, and I saw that the corpse stiffly raised his hand and took off his skirt, and did something indescribable with Hu Xueli.
When Long Xuanling saw this, he took my hand and took me to the guest room arranged for us by the village chief to rest.
"Long Xuanling, is Hu Xueli okay? Wouldn't people and ghosts do the rites of Zhou Gong to damage the yang energy? I frowned, wondering if I should go and save Hu Xueli.
Long Xuanling shook his head and said with great certainty: "If she doesn't have a candle in the cave, how can she be regarded as a family matter?" Tomorrow the corpses will be buried in their ancestral graves, and the matter will be completely over. ”
"I see." I couldn't help pursing my lips, thinking that Hu Xueli was also unlucky enough, and the person I liked became a stepmother, and I married an old lady as a wife.
Long Xuanling said that in the future, Hu Xueli can't be called a wife, he can only be called a concubine, and his wife is only the old lady.
When the dust settled, I was about to lie down and rest, but when I turned around, I met Long Xuanling's hot eyes.
"Early, early, let's get some rest." At the sight of his anxious gaze, I immediately turned my face sideways to dodge, my heart beating fast.
"Madam, you have been separated from Benjun for so long, don't you want Benjun?" As he spoke, he came over and grabbed me.
My cheeks instantly became extremely hot, Long Xuanling held my face, stared at me and said softly: "I still thought that I would never have the opportunity to hold you like this again in my life." ”
I looked at him, and his eyes were so deep that I couldn't figure it out.
Long Xuanling leaned over, the cold lips covered mine, I quickly closed my eyes, but he let out a chuckle.
"You and I thought we were husband and wife, why be shy?" As he spoke, his slender fingers roamed over my body, and my clothes were stripped off, and Long Xuanling picked me up horizontally and put me on the bed, holding the rain and clouds with great enthusiasm.
It was only after sweating profusely that he fell asleep with me in his arms.
The next day, I sat up with a sour body, Long Xuanling had already folded my clothes and put them at the head of the bed, I quickly changed them and went out of the house.
In the hall outside the house, the village chief and Zhang Yufen were talking to Long Xuanling, with serious expressions.
I approached and vaguely heard that it was about sending the girl's corpse to the ancestral grave, and the village chief felt that the corpse was too unlucky and wanted to be cremated, but Long Xuanling calculated that the other party was destined to avoid fire and could not be burned, and the corpse had begun to decompose this morning.
This shows that the resentment of the fish-eyed old lady has subsided, as long as the corpse is put into the ancestral grave and the tablet is erected, everything will be in order.
"Just do as the gentleman says, nothing is more important than Ali's life." Zhang Yufen persuaded, and the village chief glanced at the happy house after hearing it, and could only agree silently.
The first day there was a happy event, and the next day there was a funeral, which was very unlucky, but now the village chief didn't want the old lady's body to be in his home, so he could only start doing it immediately.
And Hu Xueli's spirit is much better today, he told us that he dreamed of the old lady last night, and the old lady told him that he had fulfilled his wish and would not pester him again in the future.
After this incident, Hu Xueli had a feeling of escaping death, thinking that he was too ridiculous before, and now he is willing to stay in the village to help his father take care of the shop and look at the farmland.
As for the girl in the neighboring village, he wants to postpone the marriage, and now he has no intention of marrying a wife.
"It's best if you're willing to keep her for a year." Long Xuanling looked at Hu Xueli and said.
Hu Xueli nodded again and again, and Zhang Yufen took out thirty silver dollars as a reward according to what he said before.
Long Xuanling took the honorarium and prepared to go on the road, and the village chief specially asked an uncle to drive us to the provincial capital.
Sitting in the carriage, Mingyue still didn't understand, why didn't Long Xuanling turn into his true body and take us directly to Yaozhou, it had to be so troublesome.
"Long Xuanling conjured up his true body, and the dragon qi leaked out, and it was easy for people to find his traces." I remember very well that when the Heavenly Master slaughtered the city, he said that he could see the dragon qi.
Therefore, we can only make such a roundabout way, and after we arrive in the provincial capital in a carriage, we will make plans.
