Chapter 43: The Past
The wind and torrential rain kept crashing against the tombstones, making a "crackling" sound, and a few wet paper coins were flying back and forth in mid-air, probably the only thing that was still bright in the darkness.
In the dark cemetery stood a woman with long hair, looking up at the flickering thunderclouds in the sky.
The rain kept hitting her face, but she didn't even blink her eyes, and she didn't have any special expressions, looking very calm.
The brightly colored satin clothes on her body had long been soaked by the rain, and they were tightly attached to her body, outlining a bumpy and beautiful figure. The corners of his clothes were hung with water floating in the wind, but he looked much clumsier than usual.
Under a large tree at the edge of the cemetery, another woman leaned.
The lush canopy of the tree helped the woman under the tree to block some of the rain, but there was still another part of the raindrops that followed the wind and smashed on the woman's body, dripping her clothes through.
The woman leaning against the tree looked exactly like the woman standing in the cemetery, but her temperament was 108,000 miles apart. She was wearing only a men's T-shirt, and her exposed legs were constantly washed by the rain.
The rain was so cold that thin goosebumps rose on her exposed skin.
Even though her cold lips were purple and her body was constantly trembling, she still closed her eyes tightly, tilted her head against the trunk behind her, and breathed evenly and long.
There was no pain on her face, and there was even a smile on her lips.
And in the canopy above her, a clear male voice came out.
The dense foliage blocked the "people" or not people who wanted to peek into the trees.
In short, you can't get married.
The man's voice appeared and disappeared in the storm. Not really.
But the man didn't give up, and kept telling a boring bloody story slowly.
"Many years ago, there was a young lady from a large family. She has both parents. He grew up to seventeen or eighteen years old without illness or disaster.
Because he is very good-looking, his family background is also good, and there are many people who propose marriage, not to mention stepping through the threshold.
But the young lady didn't know what to think, after any famous family, she couldn't look down on the talented people from the poor family, so she had to like a little guy who was doing chores in her own house.
If you like it, you like it. She also went to cheat with others every night, among the flowers by the river, the moon was dark and the wind was high and the night was quiet. In the end, something accidentally happened.
Before the parents could speak out. The young lady began to quarrel with her parents, saying that she would marry the little girl alive or dead. If the parents don't agree, they won't eat, and the whole family will be uneasy when they cry, make trouble, and hang themselves.
Although the parents were helpless, they saw their daughter's belly getting bigger day by day. They had no choice but to bring the little guy to discuss what to do.
That little guy has no talent and no appearance. I don't know a few big characters, the family is poor only with four walls and a roof, it rains heavily outside in the summer, and there is a small wind in the house in the winter. There is also a paralyzed grandmother in bed and a pair of elderly parents, who look very sorry, and I don't know what the young lady likes about him?
The young lady's parents originally intended that since the little girl's family was like this, they would simply plug the door upside down. In the future, a child will be born with the surname of the young lady's family, and the little girl can take the whole family to live in the young lady's house.
When the little guy heard this, he shook his hand and left. After returning home, he still preached everywhere that it was not that he didn't want to marry the young lady, but that the young lady's parents said that he would intervene in the door, and the child would follow his maiden name, which was simply an insult to his dignity as a man.
Miss's parents thought about it for a few days, and when they saw that this matter was spreading in the city, Miss was afraid that even if the child was not born, she would not be able to marry it well, so they brought the little girl to discuss it again.
This time the young lady's parents relented. told the little guy that he could marry his daughter to him, but his daughter couldn't serve her in-laws when she married, let alone be wronged in the little guy's house. If the young lady marries and is wronged, it is better not to marry.
But they can give their daughter a house to marry, and they can also pay for the young couple to do a small business or something.
The young lady's parents thought that even if these two children didn't know anything, but if their mother's family had a big business and was always supported, they wouldn't make any big mistakes in business, and their daughter wouldn't suffer hardship.
But the little guy still didn't agree.
Although he had never read a book, he could point to the nose of the young lady's parents and shout, 'It's not food,' and then flick his sleeves and leave.
The young lady is still making a fuss at home to get married, and there is a moth every day. Miss's parents' hair was gray, but there was nothing they could do.
So they asked someone to ask what the little guy wanted.
In the last news that came back, the little guy meant: When a woman marries into his family, she must abide by the rules of his family, honestly serve her in-laws, give birth to children, and do farm work. It's okay for my mother's family to subsidize it, but it's absolutely not okay to point fingers.
Marry a chicken with a chicken and marry a dog with a dog, Miss must listen to him if she wants to marry, if Miss's parents don't agree, he doesn't want the child, whoever loves to raise him, he has to go around to publicize the that Miss has with him that lingers on the moon before the moon. “
If the young lady's parents didn't get angry when they heard this, then the next sentence almost made them angry.
That little guy's family is so poor, he is already engaged, and he will get married in a few days.
I don't know which blind girl is so unlucky to marry such a family.
And he also said that even if the young lady finally married, she could only be a small one, and she would have to serve the eldest lady.
The young lady's father spat out a mouthful of old blood in anger at these words, and then became bedridden.
My father was seriously ill for half a month, and the young lady was still alive and kicking up every day to marry a little girl, it didn't matter if she was big or small, as long as she could marry her, she could marry the whole family.
After tossing for half a month, the young lady's father's illness not only did not improve, but became more and more serious.
Just before the young lady was about to get sick with her mother, she finally realized that it was not good for her to make such a fuss. Maybe the brain suddenly got better. Or maybe it's finally completely broken, and the young lady actually came up with some serious idea one day. ”
A fierce wind whistled and blew. Even the big tree that the three of them hugged shook a few times with the gust of wind.
The young woman under the tree still didn't wake up, but shrunk her neck and let out a few vague dreamy sounds.
The male voice telling the story in the tree paused for a moment.
But when the gust of wind had stopped, the man began to tell the story that no one had ever heard.
"That young lady actually asked the little girl to elope.
They made an appointment in the middle of the night to let the little guy wait under the wall in the backyard of the young lady's house.
That night, the young lady dragged her belly, which was four months pregnant. Jumped out of the wall in the back garden and ran after the little guy.
The two of them ran to the river, and the little maid put the young lady on a boat. Let the young lady wait on the boat, and he will go home to say goodbye to his parents and leave the house with her.
The young lady was putting on and waiting, waiting, waiting, and waiting until the next morning, and the little girl had not returned. But the ship went offshore.
Only then did the young lady know that she was in a hurry. I ran to the boss of the boat and asked, only to find out that he had been sold.
Of course, the little guy would not take her away like he promised the young lady, he just deceived the young lady of the jewelry she carried, sold the young lady to the human traffickers, and went home for the wedding with the money.
The young lady wants to make trouble on the ship again. Of course, the traffickers did not have the good temper of the young lady's parents, and directly locked her up and starved.
In the evening, a few traffickers who had drunk too much ran to the small dark room where the young lady was locked up and wanted to ...... Ahem...... The young lady swore to death.
Maybe it's urgent, and the young lady doesn't know where the strength comes from. Unexpectedly, he broke free from the rope and grabbed and bitten. It really scared those traffickers who were drunk and walked unsteadily.
The young lady ran to the deck and saw the boundless river around her, and the banks of the river were far away from her.
At this moment, someone smashed her directly in the back of the young lady and smashed her into the river.
The young lady just fell into the river and died......"
Several huge bolts of lightning flashed in the sky and landed in the empty cemetery.
A tombstone happened to be struck by lightning, and it instantly shattered into stones and rolled down to the ground.
A plume of black smoke slowly rose from the base of the remaining tombstone.
The woman standing in the cemetery remained motionless, looking up at the sky like a beautiful sculpture.
The soaked paper money was still floating in the wind, spinning around, but refusing to land.
"Miss's family started looking for her from the day she disappeared, and it took seven or eight days to find Miss's body that had drifted downstream.
Everyone thought that the young lady was trapped by love and committed suicide by jumping into the river, coupled with the hot weather, the young lady's body was already soaked in the river, so she hurriedly buried the young lady.
The little guy also ran to the young lady and cried in front of the young lady, and then turned around and married the girl he had betrothed to be the bride. Spend the money you earned when you sold the young lady in the first place.
Within a year of her death, her parents also died. One of Nuoda's homes is gone.
Three years later, zombies began to pop up in that city.
The first to die was the little girl's family, and even the two children who were not sensible were torn and eaten.
Then there is the family of the young lady's cousin who embezzled the property of the young lady's family.
Then the zombie began to let go of killing.
Almost every morning, people were found disemboweled and dumped on the side of the road, and for a long time the city was filled with the smell of rotting corpses, and people were terrified.
There are also people who want to run, but they can't run out at all, whether it's day or night, as long as they leave the city, they will definitely be torn apart and thrown at the city gate.
Little by little, that small city became a ghost town.
In the daytime, there is no one on the street, and at night, there are ghosts wailing and zombies walking.
There were also Taoist priests who wanted to collect the ghosts in this city, but almost no one could return alive.
Even one of them who came back alive was also mad, singing and dancing all day long, and he couldn't say what happened to him in the city. ”
The rain became heavier and heavier, and a dense curtain of rain fell on the cemetery. Too much water could not flow out, and eventually a few centimeters of stagnant water gathered in the cemetery.
The yellow torrent on the mountain in the distance was still rushing down, almost washing the mountain in front of it to the top of the bald.
The woman standing in the middle of the graveyard finally stopped looking at the sky, but turned her head to look at the tree.
The woman standing in the cemetery looked at the canopy on one side without blinking, and seemed to be completely attracted by the plot of the story.
But the rain around was too loud, and even if two people were facing each other, it would be very difficult to listen to each other.
It's a good thing that such a lazy and slow storytelling voice can still be heard.
The man telling the story paused for a moment when the woman turned around, and then surprised "Huh? "Yes.
But soon, he went on to tell the story.
A few years later, the frontier was in an emergency, and the imperial court sent a general to quell the rebellion.
When the general passed by this empty city, he did not know the situation, and set up camp in the city by mistake.
But in the middle of the night, the stuff started to make a fuss.
By the time the general found out that something was wrong, it was too late.
He was chased by hordes of zombies for half the night, and was finally able to breathe at dawn. But his men were scattered and didn't know where they went.
Fortunately, there is a military advisor under the general who knows something, and the military advisor is very evil, he is a half-bucket of water, he doesn't read very well, and he only learns the kung fu of two or three hands and three feet and a cat in Taoism.
He has a lot of tricks, and it's kind of useful. He didn't usually speak, but every time he gave the general some advice, he was able to teach the enemy when they were defenseless and let them learn how to behave.
Although the general looked at people upset, he had to admit that he was also a talent, and kept him by his side as a military advisor.
The military advisor pinched his fingers and counted nothing, and then he had to fool the general like a stick and ask the general to give him a few days.
The general didn't know about his little calculations, and really thought that he had some ability, so he gave him three days to find a way to deal with this matter.
The military advisor can be regarded as a capable person. In the past three days, he really found something useful by wandering around the deserted city during the day and peeking at those things for parties at night.
Then the military advisor combined the whole family of the first dead guy with some nonsense from his hearsay, and he really deduced the conclusion.
So the military adviser instigated the general to go with him to dig up the grave, find the body of the young lady, and set fire to her while she was resting during the day.
The general couldn't stand the grinding skills of the military advisor, and finally agreed to dig a grave with the military advisor.
They took a few of their soldiers who were still there, and went to the grave of the young lady......"
(To be continued.) )
