Chapter 2: The Ghost Daughter-in-law
The elderly living in the countryside all know that the saying of marrying a living person is to let the living marry the dead, which is an equivalent exchange, exchanging the happiness of their own life for the peace of their family for a lifetime.
There are rules for marrying yin relatives, unless the ghosts are willing to automatically dissolve yin relatives, otherwise during this period, the living cannot have a relationship with any opposite sex, otherwise there will be a catastrophe.
No one wants to do this unless they have to.
It's okay to meet some well-talking ghosts, at most it's just pestering you for more than ten years, and you can remarry the opposite sex after more than ten years, but if you meet someone who can't talk well, you have to be entangled for a lifetime.
Therefore, after hearing Grandpa's words, Grandma's brows were furrowed.
"Otherwise, our whole family will die." Seeing grandma's concern, grandpa sighed, took a dry cigarette from the side, and swallowed the clouds and spitted out the fog.
Grandma weighed it again and again, nodded and could only agree to Grandpa's proposal.
Although I was still young at the time, I could still understand the meaning of my grandparents' words.
"Grandpa, I'm not afraid, I'm willing to take the kiss."
I don't want to hurt my grandparents because of myself, and I know that my grandparents love me very much, and they will definitely not hurt me.
But I'm also a principled little boy, it's okay to find me a, but you have to find me a beautiful ghost daughter-in-law, otherwise, when I get up at night to pee, I see such a terrifying face when I open my eyes, I think even if I don't get killed by the water ghost, I can be scared to death by my own ghost daughter-in-law.
Grandpa listened to my words, hugged me and said that I was a good and sensible boy, and grandma suddenly grabbed grandpa's clothes at this time and pointed to the coffin in the side room.
"Do you want to ...... or not"
Grandma seemed to have something unspeakable to say in front of me, just hinting at grandpa, but grandpa immediately shook his head and refused.
"The coffin can't be moved until it is absolutely necessary, otherwise our entire village will have to be buried together."
After my grandfather left this sentence, he took me to the old cemetery area on the mountain, which used to be a mass grave, and people from all over the country would be buried here, and it was in this broad daylight, this place also looked ghostly, and I could inexplicably feel the cold air floating by.
Grandpa pulled me a tombstone and looked at the past, forget about the grave bag that is far away, and the grave bag that is close to time are all pasted with photos, grandpa naturally wants to find me the grave of those young girls who are out of the cabinet.
After finding this kind of grave, the grandfather would light a white candle on the southeast corner of the grave bag, then light three incense sticks and kowtow to the tomb three times.
"Its name is Godless, on the fourth day of the fourth month of the fourth month of the year of Gengwu, the vagina is lost, so it is a ghost pupil, and it is a girl who is haunted by evil, and is willing to marry a yin family, for my Li family, solve disasters, and worship from generation to generation." Grandpa knelt on the ground and began to mutter, and then spoke in the vernacular.
"Eldest daughter, this is my grandson Li Tianyou, the birthday eight characters were also given to you just now, he, unlucky, born with a pair of yin and yang eyes, this was not long ago by a water ghost, I want to come to find a substitute for the dead ghost, there is no way the old man I can only find him a yin kiss, I hope to help settle the water ghost, if you want, my Li family will definitely worship you, this is a dowry, if you want to accept it."
When grandpa spoke, he took out a piece of yellow paper from his arms, I felt that grandpa slammed the door, have you ever seen that the family came to propose marriage just to give a piece of yellow paper? But then I learned that this yellow paper has a lot of origins.
After the grandfather finished nagging, he inserted the three sticks of incense in front of the grave bag, saying that as long as the incense burned quickly, then it meant that the people agreed, but the result was that the incense was wiped on the ground for a while, and the smoke that was originally burning very vigorously was directly extinguished.
This means that the female ghost girl disagreed, so Grandpa had to shake his head and put away the yellow charm, and took me to continue to look for the next home.
I followed my grandfather behind me and saw it, the so-called yin relatives, I was like a cabbage in a vegetable market, constantly selected, but it seems that the market of my cabbage is not good at all, it is at six or seven o'clock in the evening, the sky is completely dark, but there is still no female ghost willing to be my daughter-in-law.
"Hey, that water ghost is too powerful."
My grandfather took me home and lamented to my grandmother.
"What's the matter, old man? Why hasn't you succeeded all day? Grandma hugged me over, looked at grandpa with a frown, and asked puzzledly, "Our God bless people are also very cute, where are you not worthy of those female ghosts." ”
When I was a child, I looked white and clean like a porcelain doll, and I was really cute.
"Many people who died in vain or lonely ghosts who can't be reincarnated for various reasons actually want to find someone to marry a yin relative, so that as long as the yin intimacy ends, they can be reincarnated again, but that water ghost is too powerful, and the female ghosts we looked for before were afraid of being found by the water ghost, so they refused to take over this marriage."
Seeing that it was so late now, it was estimated that the water ghost would come to the door again in a while, and Grandpa suddenly felt extremely anxious in his heart.
He worriedly slapped the yellow rune paper in his hand on the table, strange to say, at this time, a gust of yin wind blew in inexplicably outside, and the yin wind fell on the yellow rune, and the yellow rune paper was immediately blown up and floated into the side room.
"Not good."
Grandpa was shocked, and immediately ran over in three steps and two steps, wanting to pick up the yellow charm again, but when he entered the door, grandpa was dumbfounded.
The yellow talisman that had been blown in by the yin wind had strangely disappeared.
I noticed that the expression on my grandfather's face was very complicated, both worried and joyful, which made him stand stunned and didn't know how to react.
However, grandma stepped forward at this time and gently tugged at grandpa's clothes, and asked in a low voice, "Old man, was your yellow charm picked up by that one?" ”
Grandpa nodded silently, sighed, and said that it was a blessing or a curse, and that it was a curse that could not be avoided.
I don't understand why grandpa is so worried, the yellow charm is gone, doesn't it mean that I am married? Isn't that the result grandpa wants? But why does grandpa seem so entangled now?
This coffin has been stored in the side room since I can remember, every day my grandfather will go in to clean it, I used to be curious, and I also wanted to go in to see the situation inside, but once I was caught by my grandfather, and my grandfather, who has always been very hurt, whipped me with a bamboo whip that day, and cried while whipping me, saying that I want to kill the Li family.
Since then, this side house has become a forbidden place in my heart, and now that my grandfather has brought me in, I am a little panicked.
Grandpa picked up three sticks of incense at this time, and began to bow to the coffin as before, and his mouth was also full of chatter.
He then inserted the incense into the incense burner in front of the coffin, and the aroma that had been burning slowly suddenly trembled, and then as if it had been fast-forwarded thirty-two times, the smoke came out quickly, and the three incense sticks burned out in just two or three minutes.
Although he had already calculated in his heart, when he saw this scene, his grandfather still had a touch of joy on his face.
"You accepted the yellow talisman and the three incense sticks, are you really planning to marry my grandson? You also know that we are from a poor background, and we are indeed not worthy of you. ”
I was a little stunned when I watched the aroma dissipate, but now I am full of curiosity when I listen to my grandfather's words.
My nurse and I also lay in the coffin before, knowing that it was empty and there was nothing, so who is my grandfather talking to now? Also, what is the origin of this coffin?
What puzzles me even more is, is there really a female ghost here?
I have yin and yang eyes, and it stands to reason that if there really is a female ghost, I should be able to see it, right?
But now in front of me, there is nothing but my grandparents and a coffin.
No one responded to Grandpa's words, but at this time, a gust of wind blew in again, it was a big summer, and the weather was very hot, but now there was a chill in this wind, which made people mistake it for the cold wind of winter.
The wind gently swept through my body, and it felt as if a cold little hand had crossed my body, and I was so excited that goosebumps stood up all over my body.
Seeing this, my grandfather was overjoyed, pulled me over, pointed to the coffin, and said, "God bless, ...... Quickly kowtow to your future daughter-in-law three times, and thank them for saving your life. ”
I looked at the blood-red coffin in a daze, and just as I was about to kneel, my body seemed to be entrapped by something, and I couldn't move at all.
And it was also at this time that a very pleasant and beautiful voice came out, like a lark.
"Your Li family is destined for me, since I have agreed to this yin family, I will protect your Li family, and I will definitely protect my husband, as for the words of thanks, don't say it again, how can the husband kneel to his wife, it is not in line with humanity." Listening to her, I feel that this female ghost is not a modern person, if it weren't for the current atmosphere is not suitable, I really want to ask which dynasty she is from.
Grandpa was just about to take me away, but suddenly there was a whistling sound outside.
The three of us hurried out of the house, and saw a large dark cloud covering the sky and the sun, completely covering the heavens and the stars, and under the blowing of the wind, the surrounding trees were more like ghosts, constantly dancing fiercely.
