Wedding (II)

Since childhood, Xiaowen and I have been in the habit of my grandfather to meet strangers who look strange and pester, and immediately report their names, so that they will leave immediately. But the groom, who was hiding behind the door, nodded thoughtfully and did not let go of my hand: "Didn't you say it to the maid yourself?" You're an older sister and the other is a younger brother! ”

I did say such things to Sister Yuxin, but how did this person know! I'm afraid that the guy who will get into trouble doesn't match his tone, and I secretly try to break free in my hand, but the other party's cold hand seems to have some strange stickiness, and I can't break free.

"Little girl...... Have we seen it there before? "The bridegroom's words made me angry, and at first I was sorry for my faux pas, but now it seems that he is a completely light-headed fellow! I angrily yelled at him: "You recognize the wrong person!" ”

The bridegroom gently brushed the hair on his forehead and said faintly, "Indeed, you are much younger than that man...... But you look like that person...... The only person I've ever loved......"

An awkward feeling passed through my mind, but this feeling was immediately suppressed by the unbearable numbness of the flesh - to say such a thing to a girl I had just met, this is really a great groom officer! Don't make me throw up...... I cursed in my heart and said coldly: "Yes, then you must admit your mistake!" People say that I look exactly like my father! ”

My cynicism did not work in the slightest for the bridegroom, and he brushed his forehead again with a sad expression: "I will soon be married...... But the bride is not the one I love......"

That's my business! I didn't listen to his nagging and acting monologue, I just tried to break free from his grasp, but he asked me again and again as if asking for something, I looked up in confusion, but heard him say categorically: "Let's run away together!" ”

"No kidding! You're breaking the law! You let me go! I shouted without a word, and he was still pretending to be dashing his hair, with a determined expression on his face - this man is a madman! No wonder Sister Yuxin warned me never to come to the other courtyard!

At this moment, I was only thinking about how to make the groom let go of his hand, but he didn't move at all after scolding all the ugly words, and now I hated it along with the bride, and she still hasn't appeared! If she hadn't abducted Xiaowen, I wouldn't have come to this ghost place, and I wouldn't have encountered this neurosis! It is really the most annoying newlyweds in ancient and modern times!

It seems that scolding can't solve the problem, and after a turn of thought, I tried to change my gentle tone, although it still sounded hateful: "That...... You say you want to run away, do you want to run away empty-handed? "Just let him go! I deliberately reminded the bridegroom that he had to prepare money, and if he wanted to clean up the gold and silver, he would have to let go, and as soon as he let go, I would turn around and run!

"I've thought of that!" The groom's official patted his coat pocket, and the face that emerged from behind the door panel was full of smug smiles, and I cursed in my heart, and quickly changed my words: "Don't leave a letter for the bride?" The groom's official looked at me suspiciously, as if he could see that I was deliberately delaying time, and his hand increased its strength.

My heart was suddenly in a mess, and I didn't know where to look, and in a panic, I caught a glimpse of a bouquet of acacia flowers on the round table in the new house! God help me, that's it! I shouted, "I don't know your intentions, so I don't want to run away with you!" ”

The bridegroom looked at me with some surprise, and his sick face showed a look of embarrassment. I secretly prayed that things would go the way I wanted, and desperately controlled my voice: "You should at least give me a flower!" I can't get red roses or anything now, and the acacia on the table is okay! "The round table where the flowers are placed is ten paces away, and if he wants to get the flowers, he must let go of me and walk to the middle of the room!

"That's it!" The bridegroom smiled with relief, "I'll give it to you!" As soon as I heard the words, my heart was overjoyed, and I hurriedly prepared to run away, just waiting for him to let go!

Unexpectedly, the restraints on my hands were not lightened at all, and in the blink of an eye, an acacia flower appeared in front of me!

"I'll give you as much as you want!" The groom said in a tone of voice, shook the flower in his hand, and I couldn't figure out the situation and I moved my eyes blankly, only to see another flower slowly drifting in front of my eyes with the dim pink candlelight in the room......

How can it be? Did the acacia flower move out of thin air? No, that's not right...... It was indeed taken, but how could it be so long, the arm that took the flower? A few more unnatural-looking arms were reaching out of the door where I was standing, across the room, to pick up the remaining saffron......

I lowered my head, no wonder I couldn't break free, it turned out that countless silver threads stretched out from the hands of the groom officer, crawling all over my arms, no wonder I just saw the groom official arranging his forehead hair when I felt awkward, because people should only have two hands, and at that time, his hands were holding my hands!

It is said that when animals encounter problems that are far beyond their ability to deal with, they will instinctively turn their attention to irrelevant things, and at this moment I stared at the flowers sent to me by Yuguan, and said a little distractedly: "In the end...... How many hands are there......"

"Count it yourself! Little Girl...... Count and you'll know! "The bridegroom, with a triumphant smile on his white face, slowly moved out from behind the door, no wonder he always hid behind the doorboard and talked to me, showing only one face, and did not come out, nor let me in; That's because only this face in his whole body is human-like - starting from the bottom of his neck, is a round and fat body with thin arms, shiny and shiny, like a ball that will burst at any moment, and a thin silver thread is constantly emerging from his body and wrapping around my hand......

Eight flowers, eight hands...... I guessed, no wonder I would see so many illusions of silk threads in the reflection of the sunset in the mirror, no wonder this groom would know about my conversation with Sister Yuxin - because it was ...... Spiders!

"Ahhhh "Although I want to eat it too, I'd better give you to her first......" With the groom's miserable voice, the phantom of the beautiful wedding room in front of him, as well as the strange groom, disappeared in an instant. The spider web around the hand is like a huge tuyere, swelling suddenly, with amazing suction, sweeping overwhelmed......

Just as my consciousness was gradually confused, a strange smell of wine suddenly wafted to the tip of my nose, the air outlet seemed to be blocked, the suction of the cobwebs suddenly decreased, and I felt someone grab my back collar and drag me out of the trap at once......

"What are you doing! Star Frost! "I don't have to listen to this voice to know who it is, that's Xiaowen!

Frightened, I desperately tried to hold back my tears and said intermittently: "Xiaowen...... Did you see that? So disgusting thing...... That one...... How did you end up here? Xiaowen let out a dissatisfied snort: "I saw a lot of fireflies lined up in a long line, I followed them over to see what happened, but I didn't expect to see you here, covered with cobwebs!" "Did the fireflies bring Xiaowen here? Are they thanking me for saving their buddies from the spider's web at dusk!

"What the hell is this place! Let's go home and never come again! I shouted and stood up, but I was met by a red shadow - the color of the pomegranate, the delicate piping, the intricate embroidery: it was the bride's wedding dress!

"I won't let Xiaowen go!" The voice of the bride in the red wedding dress was so rough and low, and what frightened me more than her voice was her appearance - Xiao Xiao's white hair was full of beaded flowers, reflecting the deeply sunken eyes and the mouth with teeth falling out; Under the thick fat powder, there is an old face crawling with wrinkles! This goosebump-haired bride must be the partner of that eight-legged groom!

"Youkai!" Although my grandfather had always warned us not to call those guys by their names, I could only react in this way. Before I finished speaking, Xiaowen slapped me on the shoulder: "It's so rude, what are you shouting at your cousin and grandmother!" ”

Cousin Grandma...... Cousin Grandma! Choked on a breath, I coughed violently, and pointed in the direction of the bride in surprise and couldn't say a word: actually wearing a bridal dress, pulling Xiaowen to take a walk under the moon before the flowers, this rare old grandmother, not only is not that kind of thing, but also a human being who is related to us by blood? We actually have a cousin and grandmother who have such a quirky hobby!

I was still stammering, Xiaowen had already spoken, and his voice was a little more solemn: "It seems that it is not up to us to decide whether we can go back or not!" "I looked around and couldn't help but widen my eyes: countless glowing silver threads had woven the entire courtyard, sealed all the roads, overlapped and stretched into the sky with a crescent moon, like the legendary Bagua Circleβ€”when were we trapped in the maze of cobwebs!

My cousin looked around in confusion, obviously she couldn't see anything: "Why did you suddenly become black and numb?" ”

"What's that!" I suddenly saw a thin golden light flashing on Xiaowen's forehead under his bangs, at that time, he let go of me because Xiaowen came to the groom's official, if he wanted to lure Xiaowen into the trap, just entangle him, there is no need to let go of me; It can be seen that there is only one reason why he is stealth into the silver silk array, and that is that Xiaowen has something on his body that he is afraid of!

Could it be that this is the mystery of forcing the groom to retire? I stretched out my hand to puff away the loose strands of hair, and a crooked word "Wang" appeared on Xiaowen's white forehead, faintly shining. "Who wrote a 'king' on your forehead?" As I spoke, I suddenly remembered that when Sister Yuxin helped me pat off the cobwebs on my body in the evening, she had dipped wine and wrote something on her hand, and then patted Xiaowen's forehead with this hand!

"I'll see!" My cousin and grandmother came over and chattered, "During the Double Ninth Festival here, we will dip the male rice wine in the word 'king' on the children's foreheads, huh?" Why can't I see it! ”

No wonder you can effortlessly shoot off the spider webs, it turns out that the strangely fragrant wine that Sister Yuxin dipped in is the realgar wine that specializes in dealing with poisonous insects! At this moment, the demonic aura of the spider made the medicinal power of the realgar wine fully exert itself, echoing and emitting light. But this medicinal wine is too thin after all, and I don't know how long the word "Wang" on the small forehead can protect us......

"Don't worry now, so many prey!" A weak voice sounded overhead, and I raised my face, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat - the bridegroom in the wedding robe looked at us with a smug smile, gathered his eight thin feet, hung his fat body on a filament, and slowly hung down from a silver wire net in mid-air......

It's disgusting! I didn't even have the strength to scold, and my cousin didn't know why I was so ugly, and asked me, "What evil did you do?" Fortunately, Xiaowen could still keep his composure, and he sneered: "You really don't have to worry, with us prey, your life can be saved!" ”

That's why! I remembered that it was taught in the textbook that male spiders are eaten by female spiders on their wedding night!

The groom's official hung down a few feet and yelled at Xiaowen angrily: "Shut up! ”

"Womb man! If you have the ability, you can eat me! Xiaowen's tone seemed to be deliberately trying to provoke the other party! I stole a look, only to see him slowly clench his right hand, ready to go. I understand - Xiao Wen relied on the medicinal power of realgar wine to dissipate yet, and wanted to lure the groom closer, and then catch him and break the spreading silver wire mesh array!

"You don't have the guts! Henpecked! Sooner or later it will be eaten! I immediately followed with the ugly scolding.

The groom officer really hit the trick! As he shouted, he jumped down sharply and rushed straight towards meβ€”he was a coward, and he still didn't dare to compete with the medicinal power of realgar wine!

Seeing that the groom's official fell within reach, Xiaowen made a quick move, and he would never fail - this is the best opportunity, and we only have this opportunity!

Xiaowen's hand waved, but in his palm, there was nothing......

The bridegroom is not where he should be! A creepy and bewitching laughter sounded in the air: "Little brother, you bully me to be fair and shallow, he can't help you, let me play with you!" ”

This is a more frightening sound than the bluff roar of the bridegroom. Xiaowen and I slowly raised our heads - is that the real bride? A bewitching and evil face, slender hanging eyebrows, and the corners of her eyes with a wicked upward pick, no matter how you look at it, she is a stunning beauty, but it's a pity......

It's a pity that she's too fat! The round body that blew was wrapped in garnet-red embroidered satin, as if it would tear the wedding dress at any time, and it lined the eight feet that were extraordinarily slender, and she was holding a silver wire in one of her white and tender hands, and the groom official with her flattering smile hanging on the silk thread was the one who pulled the groom official to a safe place between the lightning and the fire, and it was not a blow - because the groom was at most half the size of her!

Xiaowen was almost vomiting out, and the realgar wine mark on his forehead was gradually fading. I really envy my cousin, who can't see anything, and she still can't figure out what we're doing. At this time, the eyes of the bride and I met, and the heavyweight beauty suddenly covered her mouth and laughed: "Isn't this my old acquaintance?" If you rob my prey, don't you want to rob my father-in-law? You're really capable! ”

It turns out that I broke her net in order to let the fireflies go! I couldn't even cry - I really made a terrible enmity, and this time I was doomed!

"You're welcome! I'll eat you from head to toe! With the bride's cold voice, the silver filament array suddenly closed like a fishing net, and the figure of my cousin and grandmother first disappeared in a silver tide, and countless flexible silver filaments were bound to me and Xiaowen's bodies layer by layer, limbs, waist and abdomen, chest, neck - in the blink of an eye, my face was buried under the heavy bondage, unable to breathe, and gradually dissipating consciousness, I only felt that the silver light was overflowing my eyes......

The earth-shattering loud bang suddenly roared in my ears! There was a sudden lightness on my body, as if a huge and sharp scissor had cut the deadly sling, and my body was instantly free! I couldn't wait to open my eyes, the deadly newlyweds were gone, and I only saw two broken door panels on the ground, with the word "Double Happiness" faintly left on them, and a slipper-wearing foot was stomping on the rotten door panel.

"I said, how can there be any chatter on the warehouse side! You two! Didn't you say it was dirty and messy and you couldn't get close? What should I do if I run in the middle of the night and get smashed! In the merciless scolding, I felt that my ears were pinched fiercely, and I involuntarily stood up with the force, and almost bumped into Xiaowen, who was twisted by the other hand, and the person who twisted our ears kept scolding: "The door is still locked, so I can only come in by kicking down the door panel!" What the hell do you want! I got a cobweb, you know that I am the one who washes the clothes! ”

This kind of tone, this kind of behavior, is definitely Sister Yuxin! Xiaowen and I immediately begged for mercy, Sister Yuxin was unwilling to let us go, and I looked around in shock, where did the bright and warm wedding room come from, we actually stood in a broken warehouse full of cobwebs and messy debris, and we also caused a nose of dust!

"Yuxin! You're there too! My cousin's voice sounded outside the door, and the figure in a bright red wedding dress appeared in the faint moon shadow at the door, when did she leave the warehouse?

"Grandma! Why are you here! Sister Yuxin's voice was angry and surprised, and her cousin and grandmother actually laughed shyly: "I was walking with Xiaowen just now, but I happened to meet his sister, and the three of them talked for a while, and it was so dark that they couldn't see it, like little loaches, they ran away all of a sudden, not caught by you, I'm afraid I can't find them until now!" ”

Xiaowen and I were about to sigh at my cousin's grandmother's rough nerves, but Sister Yuxin's words gave us a blow that short-circuited our nerves: "Grandma, please be a little conscious of being a bride!" ”

"New ...... The bride ...... "Xiaowen and I shouted in unison, the deterrent power of this sentence is definitely no less than the appearance effect of the spider bride!" Sister Yuxin sighed and lifted her long hair: "You look like this, even Grandpa A Hao will be very troubled!" ”

My cousin and grandmother retorted confidently: "How can it be bothering Ah Hao!" Didn't I follow the old rule and not meet him until the ceremony was completed! ”

"Ah Hao...... Grandpa Hao? Xiaowen and I could only repeat their words like a broken gramophone, and Sister Yuxin shook her head helplessly: "Grandpa Hao is the big boss!" This time, I invite you to come, just to eat the wedding wine of my grandmother and the big boss! ”

No wonder my cousin and grandmother didn't see us, and the attitude of the big boss was so strange, and she once said, "The boss lady can't see me"; Because the bride-to-be is not allowed to see the bridegroom and guests! It turns out that my cousin and grandmother wear a wedding dress, not because she has strange hobbies, but because she is a real bride!

Xiaowen's jaw was about to fall, and he said incoherently to his cousin, "You...... How can you ......"

"I've always wanted to go on a date with my cousin in a wedding dress!" My cousin and grandmother lowered her head like a girl, "Xiaowen is very much like my cousin!" ”

It turned out to be like this - my cousin and grandmother had a marriage contract with her cousin, our grandfather, when she was young, but at that time, my cousin, who was bent on the freedom of marriage, said that she would withdraw from the marriage, and then the two got married, and the two families no longer had any contact. It's no wonder that my cousin didn't invite her to drink the wedding wine - she is also a wayward lady to this day!

"In fact, at that time, I was just brainless, thinking that being with my cousin was to surrender to feudal etiquette, but I didn't think about my true feelings. This incident made me determined never to hide my true thoughts from now on! The face of my cousin and grandmother appeared with a clear smile peculiar to the old man, which was much more suitable than the shy face, "My deceased husband will also be happy - now I have not only found the best home, but also fulfilled my wish to date my cousin, now I have nothing to worry about, and I can marry with peace of mind!" ”

"That...... Is Xiaowen like grandpa? I still didn't understand a little, and asked tremblingly, "Speaking of which, I look more like my grandfather than Xiaowen...... Also, isn't Dad here, Dad should be the most like Grandpa! ”

"Who's going to date an old man!" My cousin and grandmother deliberately glared at me exaggeratedly, and then she changed her hearty smile, and at this moment she looked like a very cute, even a little beautiful little old lady, and maybe in fact, my cousin was the cutest old lady - frank, optimistic, a little laughable childish, going her own way, and absolutely, not deceiving herself. At this moment, she walked forward and nodded vigorously as if she was cheering herself on, "Okay, it's over!" Tomorrow is the wedding day! From now on, I'm going to start a new life! ”

"People who are seventy, eight, sixty or seventy years old, what a new life!" Looking at the back of her cousin and grandmother who disappeared into the moonlight, Sister Yuxin made a gesture of "defeated her", but the corners of her eyes were full of warm smiles. But at the wrong time, I suddenly remembered the whereabouts of the most annoying spider newcomers in the world, and wondered if they would still come out and be scary? My eyes wandered uneasily, but I saw Sister Yuxin's feet moved away from the door panel, and two big spiders that had already been trampled appeared in front of me. I pulled the corner of Xiaowen's clothes and signaled him to take a look, it's okay not to look at it, but I felt sick again when I saw it - the patterns on the two spiders looked like the faces of the sick groom and the fat bride!

"Sister Yuxin!" I pulled Sister Yuxin to see the pair of terrible corpses, Sister Yuxin asked me to wait, while taking out a pair of glasses from her pocket, and slowly approached the door panel - when I first met, she used to have to get close to me to tell if I was a man or a woman, and I was still wondering if she was like those things, and she had to rely on feelings to distinguish the existence of me and Xiaowen? I didn't expect it to be because of myopia!

Sister Yu Xin, who saw the dead spider clearly, let out an exclamation and kicked the door panel to the side: "Who stepped on it!" It's disgusting! ”

Don't...... She had no idea she did it herself? Xiaowen and I glanced at each other and asked suspiciously, "Don't you think this spider is a little strange?" Like a pattern or something? Sister Yuxin shook her head vigorously and retreated out of the house step by step, could it be that she cleaned up these two vicious guys without realizing it at all? That's a big guy that Xiaowen and I will never be able to deal with! Of course, I refused to give up: "Sister Yuxin, you have lived here for so long, have you really not encountered any strange people and strange things?" Didn't you make me obey this and that, because I saw something terrible? ”

Sister Yuxin looked unbearable, and hurriedly fled to the courtyard: "Rules are rules!" Everyone says so, of course you have to abide by it! What weirdos, weird things, terrible things! There's nothing more terrible than dead bugs! "Has she always been like this, unintentionally becoming a youkai terminator?

Looking at the back of Sister Yuxin's departure under the moonlight, Xiaowen looked fascinated: "It's really strong...... And she had no idea how good she was! Looking at his expression, I almost suspected that it was not a spider that I encountered today, but a python.

I couldn't help but smile and pretend to be serious: "You're going to die of this heart-Sister Yuxin, she said that she was not interested in children at all!" ”

"What are you talking about! Star Frost! "Even if the moonlight is dim, I can see that Xiaowen's face is almost red to the root of my ears. It seems that my words "never come to this ghost place again" are in vain, even if I don't come, Xiaowen will never forget this wonderful water town......
