Chapter 030: Daughter-in-law
I slapped the man's hand, and I was a little angry.
"Stinky rascal, you are so old that you want to marry me, the old cow eats tender grass, shameless."
"A handful of age?" The man asked me funny.
"Humph! You look like you're in your twenties, and I'm only eight years old. "When I think about it, the young people in the village are all of the same age, but there is a difference of more than ten years.
"I'm more than twenty years old." The man laughed, and I wanted to ask him how old he was, but he took the initiative to ask me when my birthday was.
He married me without even knowing my birthday, and I didn't know if I had to count eight characters to get married, I despised him a little in my heart, and I was even more reluctant to answer his questions.
"If you don't say it, I have a way to know, and on your birthday, I will naturally give you a big gift."
After the man said a few words to me, he asked me to sleep and rest, I shouldn't have fallen asleep in this state, but I don't know why, the man's words entered my ears, like a lullaby, and after a while, I lost my intuition.
When I woke up again, I found myself still standing under the old banyan tree, the sky was bright, and I estimated the time, that is, four o'clock in the morning.
I rolled my eyes to look around, thinking about yesterday's scene, it was here that I was carried away by a paper sedan chair, and now in retrospect, it was very real, not like a dream.
I walked around the old banyan tree a few more times, and there was no trace of anyone else stepping on it except me.
I rubbed my temples vigorously with my hands, thinking that I must have been too weak in yang and too much yin recently, so I would come across something that was not clean.
By the morning light, I ran all the way down the mountain.
"Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law......"
The sound of a slight stutter floated to my ears, and my heart suddenly hung up.
"Daughter-in-law, don't go, don't go......"
I tried to ignore the gloomy voice, and ran faster, I couldn't have really kissed that ghost last night.
"Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law......"
Wherever I ran, the voice followed me, not far or near.
"Y-What are you? Come out. "I bluffed and shouted, I was tricked out by that little ghost last night, I didn't have any magic weapons on me, if there was really a dirty thing here, I definitely couldn't help it.
The so-called ghosts are afraid of the wicked, and I can only pretend that I am not afraid.
"Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law......"
A hand slammed into my shoulder, and my leg began to tremble, and I slowly turned back.
I looked back at the face and kicked the person to the ground.
"Ah, it hurts, it hurts."
The one who kept calling me my daughter-in-law turned out to be Gao Sheng, the stupid son of the Gao family, this child is handsome, but unfortunately he is a fool, and I have never been able to figure out whether he was the one who saved me before.
"Are you a high saint?" I asked him with my head down.
When Gao Sheng heard me call his name, tears glistened in his eyes, and his small appearance looked pitiful. He was dressed in good clothes, and he didn't know how to get it, and he was covered in mud.
"Daughter-in-law."
I found that he couldn't say anything except the word daughter-in-law, this son The sun has come out, Gao Sheng's shadow is complete and clear under the sun, and he has no ghost on him, plus he has been so stupid, my previous fear was swept away.
"Why did you come to the mountain?" I picked him up from the ground and asked him.
"I don't know." Gao Sheng wrung his sleeves and stood crampedly in front of me, looking at me with some fear in his eyes.
I'm going down the mountain now, he is a fool who doesn't know the way down the mountain, if something really happens, I can't afford to wait, so I took his hand and took him down the mountain with him.
After going down the mountain, Gao Sheng still followed me, I asked him to go home, he called me twice daughter-in-law, no longer spoke, I saw that he looked pitiful, although I hated the Gao family, but it was not his fault, so he did it to the end, and sent him to the Gao family.
When the daughter-in-law of the Gao family saw that it was Gao Sheng coming back, she hugged Gao Sheng in pain, and shouted where he had gone, and the family went out to look for it for most of the night, but they didn't find it.
The daughter-in-law of the Gao family still hugged Gao Sheng and cried for a while, and when she saw me on the side, she asked me to go into the house and sit for a while.
I still remember what happened last time, although it was said that the ghosts were all cleaned up by Zhuo Ming, but the daughter-in-law of the Gao family had bad intentions towards me and wanted to harm me, but I remember it clearly.
"No, I have to go home."
After speaking, I turned around to leave, and suddenly a big hand covered my mouth, and I couldn't make a sound anymore, only listening to the Gao family's daughter-in-law shouting sharply.
"Quick, shut up the house!"
I was picked up by the man behind me with one hand and thrown into a simple hut of the Gao family, I fell directly on the ground, and the man slammed the door shut.
I got up and went to open the door, which had been locked from the outside.
In this way, I was locked up by the Gao family for a day and a night, during which no one came to see me, let alone someone to bring food.
It was night again, and I was lying asleep on the cold ground, when suddenly someone opened the door and came in, and when I opened my eyes, it was three or four women dressed in red.
The women didn't say a word, but took a suit of clothes and put them on me.
"I don't want to let go of me!"
I struggled, but I couldn't resist the rough-skinned women, who put my clothes on me and tied my hands behind my back, so that I couldn't move. They were probably afraid of me and shoved a rag into my mouth, and I couldn't say a word.
At this time, I was very scared, because the dress I wore was obviously the wedding dress I wore for marriage.
You can't really marry me to a ghost, right?
Two of the women dragged me directly and dragged me to the main house of the Gao family.
There were two candles lit in the house, and Uncle Gao and the daughter-in-law of the Gao family made them in the hall. Both of them were festive, but the expressions on their faces were a little terrifying.
The woman pressed me and made me kneel in front of the daughter-in-law of the Gao family.
On the other side, two more women led Gao Sheng and walked out.
When the daughter-in-law of the Gao family saw Gao Sheng, she immediately became excited.
"Holy son, quick, worship and get married."
Hearing the daughter-in-law of the Gao family say this, I immediately had to stand up.
I have been married, although I don't know the man, and I don't have a grandmother to testify, but I have all the etiquette, and he told me plainly that if I become a relative, I can't marry someone else.
Seeing this, the two women standing next to me held me down and pressed my head to the ground.
Gao Sheng still looked stupid, and the daughter-in-law of the Gao family asked him to do whatever he wanted.
The matchmaker shouted a few words, one worships heaven and earth, and the second worships the high hall, hurriedly counted the rites, and pressed me into the small black room.
Before leaving, I heard someone shouting that they would throw me into the back mountain tomorrow.
And so, I walked in the dark room again until dawn.
Didn't Zhuo Ming already catch the ghost of the girl? What shameless thing is this Gao family doing?
Why did Gao Sheng call my daughter-in-law vigorously, how did he appear in the back mountain, and why did the Gao family's daughter-in-law let me marry her stupid son, and said that she would throw me in the back mountain.
I heard my grandmother say that if a big family has a disaster or is not going well, they will marry a daughter-in-law to chongxi, I think the Gao family does this, and eighty percent of them are also chongxi.
But in general, after washing, they became relatives, and the daughter-in-law was a member of the family, and like the daughter-in-law who was normally retrieved, I had never heard of throwing the daughter-in-law who had just passed to the mountain.
I didn't sleep all night, and when it was dawn, I fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took, but there was a sound of quarrels outside.
"If I find the leaves here, your Gao family will have a better time in the future!"
It's Zhuoming!
"Uncle Grandpa! Uncle Grandpa! ”
I opened my throat and shouted, Zhuo Ming immediately heard it, so he walked this way, he was followed by the old Ye Zi of the Gao family and several workers of the Gao family, although there were many people, but Zhuo Ming was a Taoist, and they didn't dare to do anything.
Zhuo Ming rescued me from the dark room, and when he saw my appearance, his eyes immediately turned red.
I haven't slept properly in the past few days, I haven't eaten or drunk water, and my whole body is sallow.
Zhuo Ming picked me up, walked to the courtyard, and said sharply to the old man of the Gao family.
"I helped your Gao family get rid of the evil, you actually listened to the words of the demon and harmed my granddaughter, I Zhuo someone also told you today, your Gao family is a lifeless number, you have done too many things that hurt the heavens and reason, and you should have retribution."
Zhuo Ming said, the old man of the Gao family knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying that it was to save his son.
Zhuo Ming didn't talk to the Gao family, he hugged me and left.
Not far from Banzhai Village, Zhuo Ming put me down and sat on the ground.
That's when I realized that his face was pale.
"Uncle, what's wrong with you." I immediately hugged Zhuo Ming's arm, remembering that tears were pouring out.
Zhuo Ming shook his hand, signaling that he was fine, just staring at me for a long time, and shaking his head.
Zhuo Ming has the same problem as his grandmother, they don't want to talk about it, and no matter how others ask, they can't ask a flower.
After resting for a while, Zhuo Ming led me home, and when I got home, I couldn't see my grandmother everywhere, and I began to be miserable again.
"Girl! Stop it! Zhuo Ming sat on the horse in a decadent manner, sighed a long breath, and smoked, this is the first time I have seen Zhuo Ming smoke in so long.
"Yezi, you listen to your uncle and grandfather, stay at home, don't go anywhere."
Zhuo Ming left the house again, still the same as last time, he sprinkled dense black beans, and the windows and doors around him were all runes painted with cinnabar.
I knew in my heart that something big must have happened.
After Zhuo Ming left, it began to rain heavily in the village, and it rained day and night, and the water in the house accumulated on the feet and necks, and it was the third day, the black beans were washed away by the rain, and the rune paper had already been wet by the rain, and the rune drawn on it had long been out of shape.
I went to my grandmother's house, took a mahogany sword and carried it on my back, the door was locked by Zhuo Ming outside, I brought chairs and put them together, and climbed up to the wall.
On this rainy day, I thought that no one was going out, but who knows, I climbed up to the wall and looked out, and there were several men running in the street, two sheltering from the rain, hiding in front of my house.
"It's really grandma's, something is going to happen in the village." A man said, took out a large cigarette from his waist, and smoked it.
