The children also came out to pick up firecrackers on the ground to play, I bought some candy and spicy bars and distributed them to the children, and asked them, "Who is married, is the bride beautiful?" ”

"The silly boy of the old Li Tou family is married, beautiful! But my mother wouldn't let me play with the bride. The children giggled and took the candy and scattered.

At almost 12 noon, when the banquet was about to begin, I went with Lao Song, and the old man had already sat down at the table and beckoned us to come and sit with him. I pointed to the bag, and the old man smiled and said let's watch the show today.

The wedding ceremony began, no different from usual, that is, the bride did not laugh or talk or speak.

"Old man, why doesn't this bride speak?"

"Lao Li Tou said that the bride is a mute, so she doesn't speak, how can a dumb person act?" I pointed to the bride.

"The people in the village have as much as you think, and besides, in the early years, there were also human traffickers who sold people with mute medicines, everyone, they have seen a lot and don't say anything, unlike you." The old man only cares about drinking wine and food, so he doesn't care what the bride looks like.

After a while, the bride and groom came over to toast, the bride seemed to be forced to pour wine, there was no expression or movement on her face, I looked at the two black handprints on my neck that had been covered by foundation, this was Lu Na, her classic sullen blue waves. I trembled and couldn't catch the groom's poured wine.

I looked at Lao Song, and his eyes were full of tears.

I pinched Lao Song's leg with my hand to keep him emotional. It's not easy to keep your emotions down, everyone spent a while happily together, and now Lu Na, who can't live in peace, has become someone else's bride.

The rest is the performance team invited by Lao Litou's family, and I was so uninterested that I pulled Lao Song away, waiting for the evening to come over for dinner and see Lu Na.

The meal was no different, but the people were excited, and I leaned over and asked the old man, "Why are people so happy at night, old man?" ”

"Say you're a stupid boy, really stupid, and you're going to make a hole in the room at night, of course I'm happy."

"Hehe, but I don't think this old Li Tou's cave house is noisy." The old man took a sip of wine and said.

After half past eight o'clock in the evening, everyone drank about the same, and the lights in the side room were also lit up early, and the singles, bastards, and good things in the village all came over. This old Li Tou and his aunt are blocking outside, after all, he is a stupid son, and the bride must be hiding a secret if she is so weird.

Naturally, I couldn't stop so many young offspring, so I rushed in, and I glanced to the side, although the light was on inside, there was still a white candle standing in the corner.

Everyone went in with a ghost in their hearts, wanting to meet the beautiful daughter-in-law of this stupid son, and rubbing the oil by the way.

"Eh, by the way, I seem to have forgotten something today?" I picked up my glass and remembered.

"By the way, what about the woman's relatives, the 40-year-old middle-aged man, why didn't he come."

"Yes, Brother Chen, we still have to seek revenge on him."

The three of us were talking at the wine table, there was a movement on the side room, and people were rushing out, this side room was already low and narrow, and people were crowded into a ball of porridge, almost squeezing out the door frame.

The big guy came out about the same, and the old man pulled someone and asked.

"What's going on, Sixth."

"Well, they all went in and looked at the brides, thinking of taking the opportunity to touch two handfuls, and the lame man saw that a white candle was lit inside, and he only said bad luck, and kicked it until it was extinguished. I was lying on top of the bride, and the bride's face instantly turned black, her skin wrinkled, and black blood flowed from the corners of her mouth, so she ran out in fright. ”

"It's a bad thing, I guess people died." I muttered.

The old man patted me on the leg.

"Isn't it normal to die, the pits were dug yesterday."

I was shocked, all of this was designed by Lao Li Tou, Lu Na was a corpse, but someone made her a living dead, there was an immortal candle in the corner of the room, the lights were not extinguished, Lu Na could always live in this state of life and death, and the people who didn't want to come in the cave room knocked out the lights.

Maybe all this is designed and blamed on everyone, Xiguo Liang Village has little contact and communication with the outside, and the dead are all buried.

"Uncle, I estimate that there will be two more deaths in your village tomorrow morning." I picked up a glass of white wine.

After drinking the wine, Lao Song went back, and the old Li Tou couple who started to cry and shout inside, crying and pulling several old women and ladies beside him.

"Brother Chen, how do you know that there will be two more people to die tomorrow." Lao Song walked on the road and asked me.

"You think, the old man showed us the cemetery, and his old Li knew that the dead were going to dig the pit in advance. Today, the lame man touched the immortal candle and inevitably died by the spell, since the bride is dead, can the groom be missing for the yin marriage? ”

"Lao Li Tou is old, and he won't be able to take care of his stupid son in a few years, so I married him a daughter-in-law and sent him on the road, so that life will be difficult in the future." I smoked a cigarette and looked at the moon, the moon was bright today, but I just didn't feel comfortable looking at it.

"Brother Chen, what you said is terrible."

"There is nothing in the human heart that is not terrible."

The next morning, the suona blew up, and yesterday it was a happy wedding song, but today it has become a funeral music. As if they had discussed, people began to go to Lao Litou's house one after another to help, but yesterday they helped with a happy event, and people had smiles on their faces, and today they helped with the funeral.

We two outsiders stand out here very conspicuously.

On the way out of the village committee, I met a lame man.

"Brother Chen, he's not dead."

"That's a good thing, why do you say in such a tone that you are expecting people to die."

"I didn't think you were that accurate every time."

"Brother Cripple, come out for a walk, early in the morning." I ran over and quickly put a cigarette on the lame brother, reaching out not to hit the smiling man, the lame brother smoked, and was willing to sit with me for a while.

"Brother Cripple, what happened in the house yesterday, and we didn't go in, which scared you."

"Hey, I don't know, my legs and feet are not good, and I can't get to the front, so they come to the front and start giggling and laughing. I had nothing to do when I saw a white candle in the west corner, and you said how bad it was, and I kindly kicked them out for the great joy. ”

The lame brother smacked his cigarette, "You say it's strange that I kicked it out, and the inside began to scream, and people were so frightened that they ran out, and even the stupid son was so frightened that he didn't dare to see his mother-in-law hiding in the corner." ”

"Hey, I don't know what's going on today, my lame leg is starting to hurt again, and it's a little black." With that, the lame man touched his lame leg and hammered it with his hand in his fist.

"I have time to go to the hospital to see the lame brother, and I'll give you another cigarette." I reached out and lit a cigarette for the lame.
