Chapter 6 The bridal sedan chair
I quietly watched Lu Xuefeng's car go away by the window, watching his headlights melt into the inky night little by little, and the hustle and bustle of the engine returned to the calm of the night, but my heart was floating like duckweed at the moment.
What does everything I did in the Lu family have to do with me?
The moment they hugged each other in the parking lot suddenly came into my mind, and I couldn't help but reverie. Am I fascinated by his tenderness? I withdrew my distant gaze and breathed a sigh of relief as if I had been inexplicably venting out the long-suppressed strand in my body.
My heart is full of unspeakable worries, am I having learned to be sentimental in this moment? I wish this was the end of it.
It's night......
I thought I could sleep peacefully, but I didn't want to be very clear in my mind at this time, I just felt that my body was asleep, and my soul was withdrawn at some point. The figure lying on the bed in front of me was gradually covered by the mist, and with the familiar sound of water droplets, the fog blurred like water ripples, and a blue-gray stone road was clearly displayed in front of me.
In the distance, I saw the dark green plaque at the end, in which the red gold hue outlined the obvious four big characters 'Ghost World Money Village', and the left and right were still the same couplet.
'The money is square and round, and it has its own world; It is good for people to avoid misfortune and blessing. ’
Is it the pavilion that I dreamed of when I fell asleep in Lu Xuefeng's car that day, and the person I met inside seemed to be called Lu Chongguang?
Isn't it the Lu family again?
'Bang, bang, bang' a few dull drums interrupted my thoughts, and a few bushes of green smoke curled up on the stone slab two steps away, condensing into a one-by-eight sedan chair.
The blue-black canopy curtain and the blue-gray sedan wood are integrated with the entire stone pavement, and if you don't look at it condensed in front of you, it is really a little unreal.
Is that what you mean by asking me to sit on it? ’
There was a feeling of apprehension in my heart, remembering the contract I saw in my dream at that time, and I had some fear that I knew nothing.
Could it be that I, a young man who has never taken fate seriously, should accept my fate in the face of such a contract? And is it in this ethereal ghost world to accept fate?
A wave of rebellious scolding in my heart was once again blasted into a blank in my mind, and the bones of my whole body trembled with the roar of the explosion, and an inexplicable force pushed me into the sedan chair.
Before the pain in my body subsided, there was a sound of messy footsteps outside the sedan car.
As if it was circling around the sedan chair I was in, I suspiciously opened the sedan curtain and tried to take a look, but I didn't expect that a gray face outside the curtain was blocked at the curtain.
I threw away the sedan curtain in my hand in a panic, and with a bang, my whole back was pressed against the bottom of the small sedan car.
In just a moment, the face that had been stripped out of my eyes was firmly engraved in my mind.
In the empty eye sockets was an abyss like a black hole, and the messy hair between the temples was bent into two rings of beaded buns, crookedly adorned with a few withered flowers and beads.
Could this be the maid who was buried in the past? It's so pitiful, he gouged out her eyes in order to prevent her from escaping. That's why she didn't want to leave for a long time and stayed in the ghost world......
The wind lifted the curtain again, and the maid's head had receded from the curtain at some point. But it didn't make me much better, because it wasn't a corpse at all, and only a head was left suspended outside the sedan curtain at the beginning of the fight!
What the hell is this...... I've got to get out of here! Rubbing against the prickly feeling of the coarse cotton cloth on the seat, I thought a little undecided, remembering that I was in a dream, and I couldn't help but pinch my arm hard.
A stinging pain in my nerves hit my heart, and I secretly blamed myself for being so cruel and opened my eyes while holding back tears. I faintly saw the wall clock hanging on the wall in the hazy eyes of tears, and just when I was full of joy that I walked out of the dream, the tears were wiped away and I saw that I was still in the blue-black sedan chair.
The slight shaking made me perceive that the sedan was running on the road, surprisingly fast, more like flying.
I couldn't suppress my curiosity, and once again looked out through the curtains, leaving behind the floating human heads, the scenery in front of me was like a shuttle, and the dense blue-gray figures on both sides were like an unfolded satin cloth, one by one, walking in the direction of the bank.
In a trance, the figures focused in their pupils, and their speed slowed down.
The sedan car seems to be gradually entering the crowded section.
There was another swaying, and the vibration was abnormal, as if the whole sedan chair was in the air, and the sky was swirling dimly in front of him. With a clang, the sedan chair fell to the ground.
I leaned against the sedan wall on the side, enduring the stomach acid churning of the 'faint sedan car'. The sound in my ears has been restless, and I vaguely heard it, it was the little girl's festive singing voice:
The bride, the bride, the bride of the Bianjing Road family......
In a dizziness, I saw a smiling bride decorated with a white red dress, who was opening the sedan curtain to welcome me out of the sedan car. The bride's gray hair corresponds to the pale smiling face, strange and unusually familiar, and more importantly, her eyes are also two dark grooves.
The body did not obey the call and stretched out his hand, trying to take the hand of the bride out of the sedan door, and the minutes and seconds of reaching out could not cover the fear and trembling in my heart.
But even though my heart kept sending useless termination orders to my body, all I got was the sound of a 'puff puff' rapid heartbeat.
Just as my fingertips were about to touch the withered palm of the bride's hand, a gust of wind blew up, and I seemed to cry out and get involved in my sedan chair.
The whirring sound of the wind blew my long hair hanging behind me without missing a leak, and I didn't care about the suddenness of being frightened again, so I withdrew my hand and grabbed the handrail in the sedan chair, closing my eyes tightly, not wanting to see anything fearful.
It didn't take long for the wind to subside in my ears, and my body gradually warmed up after the wind disappeared. I had the courage to open my eyes again, there was no bride, no maid's head, and no blue-gray figures on both sides......
Ten paces away from the sedan chair, I was the only one sitting alone in the sedan chair, and I didn't know where I was.
Timidly lifting the sedan curtain, I secretly looked at the world outside the gap.
The blue-gray stone road in sight was still in sight, but at this time I had reached the end of the road, and the threshold of the golden silk nanmu was three steps away in front of the sedan chair, and the phosphorus fire lanterns on the beams of the house illuminated the delicate golden lines.
'Fang Cai's scene is his own brain hole again? I lifted my hand and rubbed my temples to relieve the pain from the intense tension in my nerves.
I didn't have a headache before, it seems that since I saw Lu Xuefeng that time, the headache has been followed by a wave of supernatural events, and I often hallucinate, is this Lu family doing it?
The cold texture of my hand came to my face when I raised my hand, and the snow-white silk brilliance couldn't help but meet my eyes. I spread my hands in a shudder, and almost screamed.
I don't know when I changed into a snow-white narrow-sleeved shirt skirt, which was a popular style in the Northern Song Dynasty. I kept looking up and down, hoping to find some flaws in the layers of silk that proved to be hallucinations, but I looked back at my hands along the white jade pendant around my waist, and I was very familiar with the silk gowns on my arms.
It is Suzhou embroidery, and it is such a simple texture and fine jacquard weaving, and the pure color jacquard process brought out by the weaving work is exchanged for today's gold to ask for, and it can also meet the unattainable beautiful satin.
I must be dreaming, but it's definitely not your average dream......
Strange things happened to me one by one, and although they didn't cause me any direct harm, they were enough to make me tremble.
This exquisite dress on my body really didn't bring me a trace of warmth, and now I only dare to shrink in this sedan car, only dare to occupy the square territory under my feet, to defend, to hide.
Nervously soothing my trembling legs, I bit my lip to stop the chattering of my lips, trying to make my brain spin faster, at least remembering something, at least remembering something that would allow me to explain everything in front of me.
I hugged my arms tightly, and my left hand gripped the silver bracelet on my right wrist. Pray it will give me some strength. The burning heat between the tentacles cleared my mind, and Lu Chongguang's serious and undesecrated face flashed in front of me, he once said that he was a person from the Northern Song Dynasty......
Could it be that this dress, this series of scenes are all caused by Lu Chongguang? The first time he met me, he just told me to deal with the fake coins in the ghost world, and he didn't harm me in the end, maybe everything here didn't dare to help me, what ......? ’
Thinking about it, it seems that there is some truth in what I say.
I boldly lifted the hem of my skirt and lifted the sedan curtain and walked out of the sedan chair. Before I could look up at the plaque above my head, the gloomy wooden door inside the threshold creaked and revealed a crack, and the smoke with a thick mixture of sandalwood and cloves blew coldly through my hair, and my feet trembled slightly.
It's really weird......
