Chapter 12 Marriage in a Deserted Village
She asked me to turn my back and take off my shirt, and every time she slapped me, she exhaled the turbid air out of my body with all my strength.
Thirty strokes of the full slap of me, the strength of the hand is very strong, I was almost begging for mercy when I hit the fifteenth, at that time I thought, continue to fight like this, this has not yet started, it is estimated that the final outcome is that I was seriously injured by her and was admitted to the hospital for recuperation.
Aunt Ma sighed, told me to be patient, and said, "I didn't expect that the yin qi has actually reached this level!" ”
After struggling to die, I finally finished shooting thirty times, and Aunt Ma took out a piece of yellow rune paper under the wooden case, wrote a strange text totem on it, and then handed it to me and told me to burn it with a lighter.
Then, I wrote carefully on the back of me with a brush.
She told me that I couldn't shower for the next three days, otherwise it would be useless.
According to Aunt Ma, we are going to a village called Woduhe in the western province, and the direction of the fox fairy will not be wrong, Cai Weiwei's body must be in that village.
The Wodu River is a long way away, hundreds of miles away from us, and it will take at least a whole day to take a car.
At half past five in the morning of the next day, when they were about to arrive at the Wodu River, they passed through a small town called Jiujiang, and the three of them got off the bus and found a breakfast shop to eat something, and then continued on their way.
At 7:10 in the morning, we officially arrived at the Wodu River.
When I first got off the bus, Aunt Ma and I were a little confused, in this barren mountain and wild mountains, there were only a few dilapidated old houses at the entrance of the village that were uninhabited, and there was no one as far as the eye could see.
It's very weird.
In my imagination, this place should be a place of birds singing and fragrant flowers, curling with smoke, men cultivating crops in the fields, women doing laundry and cooking, and children with bare buttocks laughing and playing, and the scene is peaceful, just like the mountain life described by Liu Yong's pen.
But the village in front of me was not what it should be, it was dilapidated and desolate, dozens of dilapidated mud houses were about to collapse, and the roofs were covered with moss and weeds, apparently uninhabited for many years.
Another few miles of walking.
It was supposed to be breakfast time by this time, but the whole village seemed to be dead, no smoke rising, no water and wood, not even the slightest sound.
Aunt Ma and I continued to walk, and when we passed a defeated courtyard, we finally saw a few people. However, they were all old men, and it was estimated that the youngest of them must be sixty-five years old! Everyone is old-fashioned and listless.
The whole village is desolate everywhere, without the slightest bit of life, especially in the surroundings of such a desolate elephant, which is full of vigorous flowers and trees, and against the background of the blue sky and white clouds, it is even more grotesque.
All that there is is lifelessness and silence, so quiet that it makes people panic as if they are dead!
Aunt Ma looked at me and said, "Jiezi, go in and ask Cai Weiwei's family where she lives." ”
I walked into the courtyard and asked the old men, "Auntie, I want to ask you about a girl." ”
One of the old men was looking up at me, and I hurriedly said, "Is there a girl named Cai Weiwei in the village?" ”
The old man quickly turned his head and waved at me to refuse my inquiry.
Next, I asked several other old men and ladies in turn, but they all got the same attitude and result, and Aunt Ma and I turned around and walked out of the courtyard.
I was just about to say to Aunt Ma that something is not quite right with these people, when suddenly there was a sound of gongs beating and drumming suona from the village.
"Are there any married people in the village?"
From a long distance, I saw a column of people and horses coming from a distance, and there were firecrackers and lively people, which looked very festive.
It seems that this place is really weird!
In such a corner abandoned by the world, there are still people who get married, and they get married in such a traditional situation.
It has not been seen in the city for at least twenty years.
Aunt Ma shook her head and said, "It's not quite right, I don't think this looks like marriage at all." ”
I smiled and passed her to walk over to join in the fun and see what the bride looked like, whether she was beautiful or not.
Aunt Ma hurriedly grabbed me and said, "Jiezi, don't go over first!" Just stand here and wait for them to pass, you have too much yin energy on you, don't get anything on it......"
At this moment, Aunt Ma's words came to an abrupt end, because when I saw the wedding procession clearly, I was completely stunned.
There was not a trace of joy on the faces of that group of people, and everyone was as dead as ashes.
The bridesmaid next to the bride was dressed in coarse linen clothes, stumbling along the way, holding a cigarette in her mouth, her cloak spreading, and her face was dull.
And the groom walking next to the bride is even more eccentric, his face is full of sinister expressions, as if he is experiencing an impending death!
Where is this what is marriage? It's clearly no different from a dead person going out to a funeral!
When the group of people stopped in front of a courtyard, the sound of beating gongs and drumming suona became louder, and after a while, an old woman walked out of the courtyard, bowed her head and hurriedly walked to the side of the bride and groom.
She glanced sideways at the bridesmaids, who nodded as they swallowed the clouds.
The festive voice stopped abruptly, and the old woman sighed in an old manner.
"This ...... ......I was completely stunned, stammering for a long time and unable to say a word.
Aunt Ma grabbed my arm tightly and said urgently, "Jiezi, look at the bride's legs!" ”
Due to the obstruction of the crowd, I could only see the upper body of the bride, and when I heard a prompt from Aunt Ma, I lowered my head and looked at it, and my bitter guts almost scared me.
The bride actually has no legs, and was artificially connected to two wooden sticks at the waist position, and has been relying on an old man behind her to hold these two wooden sticks along the way!
It was so weird that Aunt Ma pulled me to hide behind a big banyan tree, she was very calm and asked me, "Jiezi, do you see any doorway?" ”
I was so frightened that I was about to scatter, and I said, "Disabled, disabled people are getting married?" ”
Aunt Ma looked around, groaned slightly, and whispered, "This is a secret marriage!" ”
I gasped, Secret Marriage?
Yes, only the marriage of the dead can be so terrifying!
Ghost marriage, also known as yin marriage, or ghost marriage.
Usually a man and a woman who have been engaged to marry both die, and their parents will help them to marry in the sun so that they can be blind under the nine springs. There are two kinds of marriages: the dead and the dead, and the living and the dead.
In the old society, it was usually believed that having a lonely grave in the ancestral tomb would affect the continuation and prosperity of the offspring, so they would hold a ghost marriage for the deceased.
When I was very young, there was a man named Zhang Wendong in the village, and he often married the deceased, and every time the deceased's family would give him a sum of money.
He is a man of ten miles and eight towns, and as long as someone's family is in need, he will definitely do this. Because of the benefits of eating, drinking, smoking, and smoking, he gradually took this matter as a profession.
"Aunt Ma, look at Zhang Wendong in our village, if he lives to this day, will he also have the age of this groom?" I was so frightened that I broke out in a cold sweat and didn't dare to look at the procession.
"Zhang Wendong?" Aunt Ma's tone was slightly puzzled.
I nodded and said, "Yes, it's nicknamed Zhang Da Fool." ”
Aunt Ma shook her head and said, "No, this person and Zhang Wendong are not of the same nature at all, Zhang Wendong is just a nest and doesn't want to go up, and a big living person just wants to eat and drink to make some money." ”
I sighed, pulled the headphones off, and said, "What's different?" Isn't it all about matching people with secret marriages, you said that Zhang Wendong is a big living person, so isn't this man a big living person? ”
As soon as I finished saying this, my heart was half cold, and I opened my mouth wide and hurriedly looked at the group of underworld marriage teams.
Isn't this man a living person?
Aunt Ma didn't speak for a long time, for a long time, she looked at me with a solemn expression and said: "Next, let's be careful, the yin qi in this village is too strong, old lady, I have seen a lot of the market, but it is rare to see a place where yin qi is haunted to this extent for decades." ”
Aunt Ma and I were thinking about going deeper into the village, when the sky gradually became cloudy.
The weather was not beautiful, and it gradually began to rain heavily.
I swear, this is the kind of torrential rain I haven't seen in years, thunder and lightning like the sky is going to fall.
Together with the group of people who had just had the wedding, we went into the house to borrow land to shelter from the rain.
I followed Aunt Ma into the room, and found that the room was gloomy, and the people in the group of underworld marriage teams were all staying in this house to rest at the moment, and their faces were gloomy.
A few people who are beating gongs and advocating suona are squinting their eyes to wipe the guys who are eating. The bridesmaids knocked on the melon seeds and lowered their heads to fiddle with their mobile phones, but the groom and the bride were nowhere to be seen.
It is said that one of the bridegroom and the bride must be dead, or both are dead.
There was a small room with a closed door on the right-hand side, and I was just leaning against the wall to send a WeChat message to Huang Ying when I heard a woman's complaining cry from inside.
I was in a hurry to avoid the rain, this time I was scared, although the people who participated in the marriage just now were in this room, but the only thing missing in the room was the groom and the bride, and suddenly there was a woman's cry in the next room, can this not be scary?
Suddenly excited, just about to ask an old woman sitting in the corner, who is crying in the room, immediately shut his mouth, expected that the things he encountered today are very strange, if he asks about the private affairs of the other party's family at this moment, even if there is really a strange thing next door, the other party will not tell the truth.
Half an hour later, while the family was turning to eat, I walked to the door of the small room on the right-hand side, pulled it open a crack with all my might, and flew in.
