My hometown is in Dawang Village, Shanghe Township, which is relatively traditional and still retains many ancient customs.

My name is Luo Changtian, a single dog who is about to graduate from my senior year, and I went back to my hometown during the internship, but I accidentally encountered a happy event, the old bachelor in the village is getting married.

The old bachelor's name is Zhou Dehai, he is in his fifties this year, his family is poor, and he has a sick old mother, so it stands to reason that it is unlikely that a girl's family is willing to marry him.

But according to the people in the village, Zhou Dehai's wife, was carried back from the mountain behind the village one night.

No one had ever seen what the girl looked like, because she hadn't been out of the house since she came, but whenever anyone in the village wanted to go over to take a look, they were all stopped outside by Zhou Dehai.

Some people say that this girl must have something wrong with her intelligence, otherwise, how could she not leave the house for half a month.

Some people also said that this girl must have committed something, so she willingly hid in Zhou Dehai's house.

No matter what the reason, in short, Zhou Dehai, an old bachelor, has a wife, and the people in the village are happy for him.

Just today, Zhou Dehai suddenly announced that he was going to get married, and he was going to use the most traditional ceremony in our Dawang Village to get married.

The traditional wedding in our Dawang Village is different from other places, and it can even be said to be a little scary, I saw it once when I was a child, but I don't remember it clearly, the only thing that impressed me was that the bride seemed to cover her head with a black cloth all the time.

Zhou Dehai, an old bachelor, said that the wedding will be held at 9 o'clock tonight, and he hopes that the elders and young people in the village can come to attend so that they can be happy for their Zhou family.

The people in the village are relatively simple, since Zhou Dehai has this idea, although the time is a little late, but everyone's enthusiasm is still quite high, especially the older generation, with an excited expression, saying that it must be done according to the rules handed down by the ancestors.

Because Zhou Dehai's family was too poor, the village simply set up a tribute platform at the door of the village committee and lit red candles.

I stood on the west side with my childhood playmate Zhang Ye, and I said half-jokingly: "Brother Huohua, the old bachelor is getting married, why haven't you moved yet, and you are not a big boss." ”

Zhang Ye punched me angrily and said, "You kid doesn't have a girlfriend, you still have the face to talk about me." ”

"You don't understand this, brother, this is called guarding the body like jade, my first time will be left to my future daughter-in-law."

"Come on, don't think I don't understand, you kid can't afford to be a girl, I heard that the consumption of college students talking about a person is not much cheaper than marrying a daughter-in-law in our village, your father will give you a thousand a month, it is estimated that it is not enough for your kid to drink porridge."

One sentence poked at my weakness, yes, I have no money, so I can only watch a lot of sister paper thrown into the arms of others.

Instead of thinking about those sad things, the old village chief had already begun to hold the ceremony, and I saw him on crutches, reading an old booklet for most of the day, and I didn't know what she was reading.

Anyway, after studying for a long time, I finally saw Zhou Dehai carrying her daughter-in-law to the village committee.

The bride wore a bright red wedding dress, although the style was very old, but it was quite clean, but the only thing that made me feel a little unnatural was that the bride's head was covered with a black cloth.

I know it's our custom here, but it looks really scary at night, and I don't know who invented it, and who got married with a black cloth to cover their faces.

As soon as the bride came out, the people in the village were boiling, after all, there had been no traditional wedding for a long time, and everyone's emotions were relatively high, but I always felt that something was not right.

After Zhou Dehai put down the bride, he kept grabbing the bride's sleeve.

The bride's cuffs were so long that she couldn't see her hands in them, and I looked closely at the bride's feet and saw that her feet were very small, a bit like a child's feet, and completely disproportionate to her height and size.

I pushed Zhang Ye and said, "Brother Huohua, do you think the bride is weird, how do I feel that my body shape is a little uncoordinated." ”

Zhang Ye snorted and replied: "Changtian, what nonsense are you kid talking about, can you say something auspicious on this big day of other people's marriage." ”

"No, Brother Huohua, I really think it's weird, you see that her feet are very small, and Zhou Dehai has been supporting her, as if she will fall down as soon as she lets go."

Zhang Ye glanced at what I said, shook his head and said: "This is called a three-inch golden lotus, uneducated, how did you become suspicious after a few years of college, do you want to see what other brides look like, yes, I'll find a chance to show you later." ”

Zhang Ye has been bold since he was a child, and he is a good hand at flirting with female classmates in the village, so I wonder why he has never looked for a partner, he is not like a person who can't find a wife.

The old village chief finally finished reading the old booklet at this time, and saw him grab a few handfuls of rice and keep throwing them towards a couple of newcomers, which is said to drive away bad luck and herald good luck in the coming year.

At the same time, some villagers sent a big rooster, only to see that he raised the knife and cut the rooster's neck directly, and the blood continued to flow down the chicken's neck, Zhou Dehai opened his mouth and drank two drops at the same time.

I really can't blame the young people in the village for discarding the tradition, but this kind of traditional wedding is too disgusting and weird, and there are still girls there who are willing to drink chicken blood.

At this moment, Zhou Dehai slowly lifted the corner of the black cloth, revealing the bride's mouth, and when the chicken blood fell into the bride's mouth, I saw her greedily sucking, as if she was drinking nectar spring water.

When the old village chief saw this scene, he immediately shouted excitedly: "Okay, the more you drink, the more prosperous your fortune will be next year!" ”

What is Ru Mao drinking blood, I finally saw it today.

I'm really curious about what kind of face is under the black cloth that can drink chicken blood so unscrupulously.

After the ceremony of drinking chicken blood, my father's generation began to dance in a circle, and at this time, Zhou Dehai needed to send the bride back to the new house, and after the ceremony, the two could go to the cave.

Zhang Ye secretly pushed me and said: "Changtian, the opportunity is here, let's go, let's go see what the bride looks like, if you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to see the true face of the bride." ”

Seriously, I'm curious about what a girl who is willing to marry Zhou Dehai and drink chicken blood looks like.

I followed Zhang Ye around the field, and soon saw Zhou Dehai sending the bride into the house, and then he hurried back alone.

Seriously, I really have to thank the ancient ceremony for having such a show, which gave me and Zhang Ye the opportunity to peek at the true face of the bride.

In fact, it's no wonder to us, if it weren't for Zhou Dehai being too mysterious, we wouldn't have to do this, who makes us young people curious, it is inevitable that they will want to get to the bottom of it.

Zhang Ye and I quietly walked to Zhou Dahai's house, the house was brightly lit, and the bride should be sitting alone in the house waiting for Zhou Dehai to come back at the moment.

I asked Zhang Ye what to do now, why don't you just break in, Zhang Ye snapped his fingers with a smile, and actually pushed the door in and said: "Hello bride, congratulations, congratulations, on behalf of the young people of Dawang Village, I have sent you a red envelope." ”

Damn, send red envelopes, this trick is really amazing.

I walked in after Zhang Ye, the bride was still covered with a black cloth on her head, sitting motionless on the bench, although she didn't say a word, but raised one arm and put it on the table.

The meaning is obvious, it should be to ask Zhang Ye to hand over the red envelope to her.

No problem, the bride's intelligence is no problem, she can understand Zhang Ye's words, and she knows how to ask for money.

Zhang Ye really took out a red envelope from his pocket and slowly walked in front of the bride, who knew that at this moment, Zhang Ye suddenly slipped under his feet, and the whole person pounced on the bride, and actually threw the bride directly to the ground.

In the end, Brother Huohua could think of such a shameless bad move, but just when I wanted to help them up, Zhang Ye suddenly let out a miserable scream, and then the whole person jumped up and rushed out without looking back.

I didn't know what was going on, so I hurriedly looked at the bride, only to see that the black cloth covering her had lifted a corner, revealing the lips stained with chicken blood, and the corners of the mouth were still slightly raised.

"Boom, boom, boom."

The bride let out a weird laugh, I was horrified when I heard it, and a bad chill surged up my back in my heart, I subconsciously took two steps back, and left Zhou Dehai's house without looking back.

Zhang Ye must have seen the true face of the bride, otherwise he would not be scared like that, what the bride looks like, can scare Zhang Ye, who has been very timid since he was a child, and fled.

I went all the way back to the door of the village committee and found that the wedding had come to an end, and Zhou Dehai was in the middle of the final rolling bed ceremony.

This is also the custom of our hometown, where the ground is covered with wild cow tendons and other thorny plants in the countryside, forming a thorny bed, and the groom must roll back and forth on the barbed wooden strips to show his heroic side.

However, this stabbing bed is not easy to turn over, and it is usually already drenched in blood after a few back and forth.

But now is not the time to look at this, I hurriedly searched in the crowd, but I never saw Zhang Ye's figure.

Strange, didn't he come back.

The whole wedding ceremony ended soon, Zhou Dehai was full of laughter, and went home with his old mother on his back, and the crowd of people who joined in the excitement also evacuated one after another.

I hurriedly made a phone call to Zhang Ye, and soon the phone was connected: "Hey, Brother Huohua, you ran there, why didn't I find you in the village committee." ”

"Long, long, did you see what the bride looks like just now?"

"I was about to ask you, what did you see, why did you suddenly run away, I saw that the corner of the bride's mouth was stained with chicken blood, and the other parts were still covered by a black cloth."

"Okay, it's good if you didn't see it, Changtian, forget about it, I don't think I saw anything, I'll go to the city with you early tomorrow morning."

"Brother Huohua, what the hell is going on, what did you see, is the bride very ugly!"

"Don't ask, it's not ugly, the bride is beautiful, we'll go together tomorrow morning!"

Zhang Ye hung up the phone after speaking, although I still had a lot of doubts in my heart, but when I thought of the weird laughter I heard just now, I trembled all over my body for no reason.

Isn't the bride human?
