Have you ever heard of the marriage card?

As the name suggests, it is a brand for marriage.

As long as you invite a marriage brand, the man will not worry about marriage, and the woman will not worry about marriage. There are many widows in front of the singles.

My father was in the marriage brand business, but he didn't let me touch the marriage card since I was a child.

The croppers face the loess with their backs to the sky, and it is difficult to eat enough, and it is even more difficult to marry a daughter-in-law, so grandpa's business has always been good.

After graduating from high school, I didn't get into college, so I went to help out at my grandfather's marriage shop.

It is said that it is a marriage brand shop, mainly selling wreaths, paper figures, and some funeral supplies. If we had relied solely on selling marriage cards, according to the rules set by my grandfather, we would have starved to death.

There are three rules:

First, only sell one marriage card a month.

Second, a marriage card only charges 444 yuan, no more points, less than one point.

Third, he doesn't sell what he doesn't like.

Grandpa's name is Feng Shan, and the people in the town call him Feng Daxian. It is said that he can not only make marriage cards to help people get married, but also look at feng shui and pass yin and yang.

On this day, my grandfather went out early in the morning to help people see feng shui, and before leaving, he specially told me that this month's marriage card has been sold, and if someone comes to ask for the marriage card, he will directly refuse.

Not long after Grandpa left, a Land Rover came in front of the store. I've seen this car, three days ago a fat man drove it to ask for a marriage card, and was rejected by his grandfather, the reason is... Look at him unpleasantly!

To my surprise, the two people who got out of the car turned out to be people I knew.

The fat man who walked in front was the one who asked for the marriage card that day. Behind him was a man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, who was none other than my little Hou Jie.

Hou Jie said hello to me and explained his intention directly. It turned out that the fat man was his boss, and after being rejected by my father last time, he still didn't give up.

Of course, I said no. Hou Jie refused when he saw that I didn't even think about it, his face was a little unbearable, he smiled at the fat man, and pulled me aside to ask me if I was stupid and couldn't get along with money.

I smiled bitterly and said to Hou Jie: "Monkey, you won't forget, when I was a child, I was fooled by the old man Chen in the village to steal the marriage card, but not only did I not steal it, but I was beaten by my father for half a month and couldn't get out of bed." ”

Hou Jie didn't give up, and told me that his boss promised to give him a promotion and a salary increase if he agreed, and opened his mouth to offer 40,000 yuan, making me think about whether it was worth 40,000 yuan in exchange for some flesh and skin.

Seeing that I hesitated, he continued while the iron was hot, "Even if you do my brother a favor and help others, I beg you, brother, or I will knock one for you?" ”

As he said that, he was about to kneel for me, and I quickly lifted him. To be honest, I was really tempted, I always felt that the rules set by my grandfather were unreasonable, and I didn't make money if I was rich, so I agreed to it as soon as I was ruthless. I didn't expect this greed for money to almost kill me.

"What you kid said, 40,000."

Hou Jie patted his chest and said that he promised to pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other.

I asked him and the fat man to wait downstairs.

There is a small room in the innermost part of the second floor, where grandpa's marriage cards are placed, I remember being curious when I was a child, and I wanted to sneak in several times, but my grandfather found out and beat me half to death.

So much so that when I peeked into the place where my grandfather put the key, I didn't have the idea of going in. If it weren't for Hou Jie today, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been close to that room in my life.

Step by step, I walked to the door of the small room, for fear that my grandfather would suddenly appear behind me.

Shivering and opening the door, a chill came over his face. It's obviously a scorching hot July, but it's like entering the underworld.

The room was pitch dark, fumbling for the light.

The small room was filled with things, and directly opposite the door was an incense stand full of things, on which were placed two urns, on which were placed two shrines without words, and in front of it were all kinds of black and white photographs of women.

In front of the photo, there are neatly placed wooden signs painted with red lacquer, these are marriage signs.

On either side of the incense stand were several paper figures and wreaths, while a bright red coffin on the right caught my eye.

This coffin is different from the coffins I usually see, not only because of its color. It is carved with very intricate patterns on all four sides, with the shape of the two sides sloping towards the middle, and the outline is oval.

I looked at the coffin, and Hou Jie's urging voice came from downstairs. casually took a marriage card on the incense platform, and before he reached the door, there was a dull knock behind him.

The sudden sound startled a cold sweat, and there was nothing unusual when he turned his head to look at it. Just as he was about to leave, there was a dull thump in the big red coffin.

The scalp was numb for a while, and a layer of goosebumps appeared on the body, and the first reaction was that there was something in the coffin.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Hou Jie's voice suddenly sounded behind me, almost scaring me.

I scolded Hou Jie in horror for not making a sound no matter how he walked, and he looked inside curiously.

I didn't care about the strangeness in the coffin, and shook the marriage card in my hand. When he saw that I had got the marriage card, he hurriedly pulled me down.

When the fat man saw me holding the marriage card, he couldn't stop smiling. asked Hou Jie to take 50,000 yuan from the car, and he said that the extra 10,000 yuan should be handed over to me as a friend. Hou Jie put down the money, and the fat man hurriedly pulled him away.

Looking at the five wades of money on the table, I felt that all this was so unreal.

After collecting the money, I thought of the strange noise in the red coffin upstairs. Once again, I went to the small room and waited by the red coffin for a while, but I didn't hear any noise.

In order to confirm the thought in his heart, he gently knocked twice on the coffin.

Soon, there was a response in the red coffin. This time there was a thump, and there were bursts of sobbing.

Desperate to find out what was inside, I pushed the coffin open.

An oncoming stench made me subconsciously cover my nose. Seeing the scene in the coffin, I just felt that my body couldn't stop trembling, I don't know if it was because of anger or fear...

Inside the coffin was a woman with nothing tied up, her hair spilling on her face so messily that I couldn't see her face clearly.

The white skin was covered with bruises and clearly visible bloodstains, and several parts of the body were covered with several pieces of yellow rune paper.

I suppressed my fear and said, "Hey... You... Are you still alive? ”

She lay quietly in the coffin, without giving me any response. Is it a dead man? I was beating a drum in my heart, and my hands unconsciously reached into the coffin...

There wasn't a shred of warmth on the woman, and I was almost certain that she was a dead person. But... If she had been a dead person, what had just happened was...

As soon as my hand reached the woman's nose, the corpse opened her eyes suddenly...

I took a few steps back in fright, and when the woman opened her eyes, she gasped for breath, as if she had almost suffocated to death.

The woman gasped heavily, then raised her head slightly, her eyes full of fear, and a hint of doubt and vigilance.

I untied the rope around her while explaining to her that I wasn't a bad person.

When she was untied, she curled up in a ball, burying her face between her knees, and only her eyes were looking at me.

She obviously didn't trust me yet, and I tried to soothe her in as gentle a tone as I could, "Don't be afraid, why are you in the coffin?" Tell me and I can help you. ”

The woman looked at me for a long time, her eyes gradually changed from fright to surprise, she stood up suddenly, and grabbed my arm with an excited face, ignoring the sudden appearance of spring in front of me.

"Brother Xiao, are you Brother Xiao?"

I was a little surprised that the woman knew my name.

Seeing the confusion on my face, the woman continued, "Brother Xiao, it's me! ”

Looking at her face, a person came to the depths of her memory. It's just that the person died more than 10 years ago, and I looked at the woman in front of me with a numb scalp.

After taking a few steps back, I suddenly remembered why the stench was so familiar.

This stench is the stench of corpses...

When I was five years old, I had a serious illness, and my grandfather took me to all the nearby hospitals, and the doctors told me to prepare for the funeral.

I was taken home to die, but my grandfather told me not to be afraid, he wouldn't let me die.

I remember it was a thunderstorm night, and my grandfather brought back a girl with glasses, and my grandfather said she could cure me.

She is very good at taking care of people, washing my face, wiping my body, feeding me every day... Even at night, he slept with me.

As my grandfather said, under the care of my glasses sister, my body is getting better day by day. But my glasses sister's health is getting worse and worse, and one morning half a year later, I found that she had slept forever...

"Have you forgotten me? Brother Xiao, I always thought you were dead..."The woman stepped forward and hugged me excitedly.

Cold skin, the smell of corpses...

I was almost scared to tears. I remember very well that after my glasses sister died, I buried her with my grandfather.

She crouched down in front of me and sobbed. As if stimulated, the whole person grabbed my arm and said, "Brother Xiao, help me... Save me... Get out..."

Even though she didn't act like a dead person, I was haunted by the smell of her corpse.

The woman choked up and told the story. More than 10 years ago, my grandfather took her away from me, imprisoned her, treated her like a pet, tortured her, and humiliated her. Every time she was bullied, her grandfather would throw a dying sick dog into the coffin...

"What do you mean... You didn't die back then? Grandpa locked you up? And who was the girl I buried back then? I looked at her in disbelief and couldn't understand why Grandpa was doing this.

She shook her head and said she didn't know.

Grandpa's upright and selfless image is like a building that is about to collapse, crumbling.

I was already sure that the woman in front of me was a living person. The smell of her corpse was that of the dead dog in the coffin.

I don't understand why grandpa locked his glasses sister in a coffin, and I don't understand why he has to put a dead dog inside... Could it be that Grandpa is a pervert and has some kind of quirk?

Seeing her dirty, I put my clothes on her and wanted her to go to my room to take a shower. She shyly asked me if I could tear up the yellow pieces of paper on her.

I didn't think much of it, and just helped him remove it. The view in front of me made my face turn red all of a sudden...

A blush rose on her face as well, and she ran into the bathroom.

After washing, I finally saw her face clearly, fair skin, jet-black hair casually draped over her shoulders, even my wide clothes could not cover her proud figure, I had never seen such a beautiful woman, let alone the woman in front of me and the glasses sister who shared the bed with me when I was a child.

"That's... That one... You take the money, run away. When grandpa comes, you can't leave. "I don't know if she's a glasses sister, but he was imprisoned and humiliated by his grandfather... It's almost a foregone conclusion.

She took the money, tears welled up from the corners of her eyes, and she looked at me with tears in her eyes and said, "I... I have nowhere to go. You... Can you stay with me for one night? ”

I'm also in trouble for a while, if my grandfather comes back. I'm afraid she won't be able to leave.

She seemed to see through what I was thinking, and told me that my grandfather would not be back today. I just wanted to ask her how she knows? My phone rang.

The call was from my grandfather, and he said he wouldn't be back tonight.

In the evening, I wanted to lay the floor. She said that she was afraid to sleep alone, so she insisted that I sleep with her. Seeing her pitiful appearance, I sent the god to bed.

As soon as I got into bed, she wrapped herself around my body like a snake and whispered in my ear, "Brother Xiao, remember?" That's how we slept when we were kids. ”

The body stiffened inexplicably, the heartbeat became rapid, and a stream of heat rushed straight to the head, only feeling the heat all over the body, and subconsciously swallowing saliva,

She giggled when she saw me like that. A hand drew circles on my chest, whispering, "Brother Xiao, am I beautiful?" ”

The head nodded involuntarily. She smiled, rolled over and rode on top of me, staring at me with a pair of gentle eyes like water, and I could easily feel the fragrance on my face.

"Want me?"

I nodded.

She smiled like a flower, and let me taste what is called a spring night, a moment is worth a thousand gold...

Until the rooster crows 10 minutes. I lay on the bed exhausted, and she got up and got dressed, and walked straight outside. I asked her where she was going.

She turned to me and said, "Your grandfather is coming back, my name is Jian Ning, and we will meet again." ”

After saying that, she walked out without looking back.

After she left, it was as if a big rock was blocking my heart. I wanted to get up to see her off, but last night's madness prevented me from even getting out of bed.

After a long pause, she walked downstairs, and she was already gone.

Just when I was stunned, my grandfather and a white-haired old man suddenly appeared behind me and asked me who I was looking at? I was a little surprised, I don't know how Jian Ning knew that grandpa was coming back.

I didn't answer him, just looked at him coldly. There's no way I'm going to associate him with a man who raises and imprisons a female pet.

Grandpa looked at me, muttered something to himself, and walked into the house.

The white-haired old man followed in, and as soon as he entered the house, he whispered a few words in his grandfather's ear, and his grandfather's face stiffened in an instant. Glancing at me, he ran up to the second floor.

After a while, I saw him running down with a stick in his hand, chasing me and asking me if I had stolen the marriage card.

I didn't hide, and the suppressed anger in my heart exploded at this moment. Hysterically shouted at him, "That's right, I stole it, but what qualifications do you have to teach me!" With a grandfather like you, I'm disgusting..."

I vented the anger in my heart.

"You... You calf... You... opened the coffin..."Grandpa waved his stick with angry eyes and wanted to hit me, but before he finished speaking, he fainted in anger.

The white-haired old man hurriedly grabbed his grandfather, took out a medicine bottle from his pocket, took out a black pill and stuffed it into his grandfather's mouth.

After a few minutes, Grandpa finally woke up.

When he woke up, he was much older. He asked me weakly, who did you sell the marriage card? Seeing that he was in a hurry, I told him truthfully.

Hearing that I sold the marriage card to the fat man, he grabbed me with round eyes, broke my mouth with his hand, and then laughed bitterly a few times, looked up to the sky and fell on the Taishi chair with a long roar, his eyes became a lot sloppy in an instant, and his mouth kept muttering that this is fate...

The white-haired old man frowned and ripped off my clothes, and I don't know when patches of black bruises appeared on my body, and at a glance, the bruises looked like human handprints.

"The palace of life is dark and red, this is a sign of death. If the tongue is purple and the chest is marked with a ghost, he will die in seven days. Lao Feng, didn't you say that you had already broken the original game? The white-haired old man turned to his grandfather and asked.

Grandpa didn't answer, and I was in a fog by what they said, so I asked the white-haired old man what he meant? Why do you say that I will die in seven days?

The white-haired old man looked straight at me, lowered his voice and said, "Boy, do you know where the woman who slept with you last night came from?" ”
