Chapter 11 Marriage (Ask for Collection)
The person on the bed is a fool, and who is outside the door?
My heart was pounding, my nervous hands and feet were numb, should I open the door or walk over to see the person on the bed? After hesitating for a moment, I whispered to the person on the bed: "Hanzi! Hanzi! Wake up! ”
The man on the bed turned over with his legs between the quilts, and he was still asleep with a murmur in his mouth. Somehow, when I heard the dream-like whispering, my heart suddenly became more steady, and I walked over lightly and looked at Hanzi's face, it was indeed Hanzi, and the stone in my heart had completely fallen.
But when he thought that there was someone outside the door, who had the same voice as Hanzi, the back of his neck suddenly felt cold, and he quickly shook Hanzi's shoulder to wake him up, but this guy licked his mouth as if he was eating something, and he just couldn't wake up.
Helpless, I had to figure out my own way, ready to reach out to turn on the light in the room, just touched the switch, the corner of my eye couldn't help but glance, and immediately trembled so much that I jumped back, only to see a figure with his back to me, face to the door, the whole person was standing in the position of the door, just blocking my way.
At this time, the sky was already white, and a little light could already be seen outside, and by the hazy light, I was frightened and carefully identified, it was indeed a person, and it seemed that I had really encountered a ghost.
The light was hazy, and the other party was also facing away from me, and I didn't see the front, but the more I looked at the back, the more I felt like a fool, I trembled and stretched out my hand to touch the switch of the light, thinking that even if I died, I would die clearly.
The moment I touched the light, I pressed it.
The room suddenly lit up, my head suddenly buzzed, the whole person froze, there was no one on the other side of the door, could it be that I had just dazzled my eyes? Or am I sleepwalking?
"I said Yunshen, what are you doing with the lights on in the middle of the night!" Hanzi's voice sounded from the bed, and the guy rubbed his eyes and looked at me in confusion.
I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead and said, "It's almost dawn, and it's still the middle of the night, so I'm sleeping." It's so good that you can't wake up. ”
Hanzi seemed to be very confused, "What are you asking me to do in the middle of the night?" ”
"Forget it, forget it! It's okay, I dreamed of a big meal, and I want you to eat it together. "I just faced a strange experience alone, and the people sleeping next to me didn't even notice it, so I just felt that I had no place to hold my breath in my heart.
After saying that, I fell on the bed and tried to put myself to sleep again, but the strange experience just now replayed in my mind like a picture, and I couldn't sleep no matter how much I tossed and turned in bed.
I was so confused until seven o'clock in the morning, when the third grandfather came to knock on the door, I got up and got dressed, and the fool was already washing before I finished dressing.
Opening the door, as soon as the third grandfather entered the room, he suddenly retreated, covered his nose and said, "What does it smell like in your room, it stinks!" ”
Stinking? I sniffed hard, but I didn't feel anything.
"Hurry out for breakfast, and let's go!" The third grandfather didn't dwell on this matter, so he went downstairs for breakfast.
Hanzi and I looked at each other helplessly, thinking that there is such a treasure at home, so we have to take care of it a little more, the old man, it is normal to have a bad temper.
After breakfast, the three of us changed into a simple and wearable clothes and rubber shoes and followed the road in the memory of the third grandfather into the mountain, at first it was easier to walk, after all, it was close to the township, but after passing the sour jujube ridge, the population gradually thinned, and the road became more and more steep and difficult to walk.
During the day, at least the view is wide, and on the mountain road, you can sometimes see the low stone houses on the mountainside, and there are still people sitting in the front area.
On the way, you can occasionally meet antique dealers who search for treasures from the residents in the mountains, and there are also medicine farmers who collect Chinese medicine in the mountains.
By the time it was time to go up the river, it was getting late.
Shanghe is a small place, said that the village is not a village, there are only more than ten families living here, we found a house that looks more spacious, the door is opened by a gray-haired old woman, as if the eyes are not very good, half-squinted eyes looked at me for three for a while before saying: "Yo, you come from other places to buy and sell." ”
I just wanted to say no, but the third grandfather's elbow touched my lower back, and he spoke first: "Yes, old sister, I took this child out for a walk, and they walked by themselves in the second day." ”
The old woman looked very kind, and when she heard that she had brought the next generation out to beg for food, she smiled more and invited us in.
There was also an old man in the house, and I didn't need to guess that it was the old woman's wife, and when he came in, he nodded to the three of us, and sat down on the low stool at the door of the hall and watched the night smoke a leaf cigarette, as if the old monk was in a steady.
For people in this kind of closed place, I also understand, and then explained to the old woman our intention, the old couple has no opinion, she said anyway, the children are older, out of the mountain, go outside to find their own way of living, the house just has two empty rooms, if not too crowded to make up for a night.
As for the money, the old woman would not take it anyway.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: "It's still the people in the mountains, and they talk about human feelings." Although I am still studying, I know what society is like every day. ”
I can't help but feel good about the two old people in this family, and I will help me with everything. At this time, the old man who had been sitting at the door suddenly took out a cigarette gun from his mouth and said, "Don't go out tonight." ”
I put down the dishes and chopsticks, wiped my mouth, and couldn't help but wonder: "Is this river still haunted?" ”
The old man clicked the cigarette holder, spit out a puff of unpleasant smoke, and turned his head to look at me very uncomfortable with cloudy eyes, "There is a marriage at night, if you don't want to marry a ghost woman, it's best to sleep in the bed honestly after eating." ”
The old woman had just come over from the stove, and when she heard what he said, she poked her finger on the old man's head, "You old guy actually said something scaring to people, have you ever seen it?" ”
The old man didn't seem to care, and he didn't speak, and turned his head to still look at the dark sky.
My heart sank suddenly, looking at this uncle's expression doesn't look like lying, is there really a bad marriage? But I've heard of yin marriage, but I haven't heard of what a yin marriage is.
couldn't help but look at the third grandfather.
He nodded and said in a low voice: "That old brother is right, there are some bad customs in the old northern Shaanxi area. The ghost marriage is not bought and sold, but bumped, and the main family of the yin marriage will be forcibly tied to the in-laws at the right time, and the first person who can be married on the way to the marriage will be forcibly tied to the in-laws. ”
I looked at him with wide eyes and said, "Isn't that a crime?" ”
The third grandfather also put down the dishes and chopsticks, lit a cigarette and said: "Yin marriage is illegal, but who cares about this mountain emperor?" ”
Also, just walking the mountain road here, the soles of my feet are blistered, not to mention those clerks who sit in the office every day? Unless it is really the reincarnation of the great master of the blue sky.
"So wash up tonight and go to bed early, if there is any movement outside at night, you can run to see it if you are curious. You know? After the third grandfather told him again and again, he dragged his tired body back to the room and fell asleep.
After I helped the old woman clean up the dishes and chopsticks, I also went back to the room to rest, and let the son lie inside to sleep.
Maybe it was too tired, and it didn't take long for me to fall asleep.
Until the sound of gongs and drums sounded on the road not far away, I was awakened. I turned my head to see that Hanzi was also wide-eyed at this time, not knowing what he was thinking.
When he saw me looking at him, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Let's take a look?"
I proposed.
