Chapter 12: The Ghost Bride
After accepting the old ghost, I was not satisfied with the people who came to apply until the next day.
I always feel uneasy about them, you know, if some people with ordinary qualifications go down, not only will their lives be in danger, but they will also affect us.
In addition, if someone turns against water in the tomb, it is a more headache than encountering a blood rakshasa. So I have to be a little cautious in picking people, as the old saying goes, "be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years".
Although I majored in archaeology in college and am an explorer, this is the first time I have gone to the underground palace. God was kind to me, and this was the first time I caught up with the king's tomb.
After sending off the last fake grave robber who was pretending to be a pretend, I looked at my watch and it was eleven o'clock.
I stretched and shouted, "Dorjee? "
Dorjee replied, "Young Master, what's wrong?" What do I need to do? "
As soon as Dorjee's words landed, there was a "bang", and the half-hidden door was knocked open by a tall body. The man recruited earlier walked towards me with drunken steps and said, "Young Master Yang, let's go and have two drinks." Fucking throw away all the troubles of life. "
Dorjee was just about to stop him. I hurriedly waved my hand to signal no. So he came up and grabbed me by the arm, and went downstairs.
I thought that in the past few days, everyone has been running back and forth because of the bitter fruit of yin and yang, and I am tired enough, so I might as well accompany him to drink two sips.
When I came to the private room on the first floor, I asked Dorjee to call Senior Sister Gege and the old ghost to come down for dinner together.
I politely handed him the menu, he said, "The food doesn't matter, the wine can't be ambiguous" and then he ordered a "jar" Shaoxing daughter red.
After a while, the old ghost came over with a smile and said, "Mrs. Yang's beauty is overwhelming!" "
I said embarrassedly, "That's my senior sister, don't talk nonsense." "
Seeing that he had made the wrong object, in order to avoid embarrassment, the old ghost took out his jade pipe and smoked it next to him.
At this time, Dorjee followed behind Senior Sister Gege and walked down from upstairs, and I quickly pulled the chair away and waited for Senior Sister Gege to come and sit down. After Sister Gege sat down, I handed her the menu again. She said coldly, "I'll just eat whatever I want," and then handed the menu to Dorjee.
This has ruined Dorjee, this bastard boy has followed me on occasions large and small, and has had a lot of experience, but he can't get rid of the stinky problem of no interest.
Then I heard Dorjee say, "Braised lion's head, roasted suckling pig, steak, shark's fin", I saw that all the meat was big, so I grabbed the menu and ordered two vegetarian dishes and a soup for Senior Sister Gege to eat. A girl is following you to do a life-defying thing, why are you embarrassed not to be kind to others? I muttered inwardly.
After the food and wine were served, except for Senior Sister Gege, we raised our glasses to celebrate, and the relationship between each other after a glass of wine was shortened. Then we had a mess of the world, and it began with Dorjee introducing their Tibetan ghost legends.
Dorjee, a native of Tibet, stumbled and told their Tibetan folk ghost stories in his American-flavored Mandarin.
Here Duoji rises, it is rare to make a speech in front of me, he dances and gestinates, and the foaming and fishy people fly. We didn't understand what it was for most of the day, and seeing that we were all silent, this kid thought that we were frightened by his pimple legend, and he spoke more energetically.
During this period, he stopped, drank a large glass of wine in front of him, and then prepared to talk about the mysteries of Tibetan Buddhism.
I thought that he would go on and on, so I led the conversation to the old ghost.
The old ghost is not a loss of the old rivers and lakes, Kan Duan is much more clever than Dorjee's stupid big one, the old ghost took a puff of his jade pipe, and then slowly spit out the smoke and said, "Have you heard of ghosts marrying brides?" "
Dorjee said, "What? Can ghosts still get married? You old boy bluffs, I Dorjee is telling the truth. "
The old ghost said, "You little doll knows a fart, in my hometown of Xiangxi." There are a lot of strange things, this ghost marries the bride, but I can see it myself. Ay! I was so good that year, otherwise you wouldn't be able to see me today. Hearing the old ghost's words, Zhao Zibin, who was drinking with his head down, and Senior Sister Gege, who was eating with his head down, both raised their heads and looked at the old ghost.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, the old ghost took another puff of cigarette, and then said, "That was forty years ago, and I will never forget that day, it was the eighth day of the lunar calendar."
On that day, I stayed in the county seat until the evening, and then I carried half a bag of groceries for my neighbors and walked to the village, which was mountainous and far away from the county seat. Fortunately, the moon was as bright as day that night, and I was eighteen-year-old and strong-blooded, and I was not afraid of heaven and earth, so the old people talked tabooly, and I left it behind.
I was young and strong, and it didn't take much time to climb two or three hills, thinking that I would get home after two more hills, so I quickened my pace. As I walked, a new grave without a monument appeared in front of me, and I thought to myself, when did I bury someone? I don't know which village it is, and I haven't heard of anyone dying in the neighborhood recently.
Hey, no matter what, let's go home. So I walked on again, walking, walking, and seeing a new grave without a monument.
I took a closer look, but I couldn't help it, wasn't this the grave just now? That said, I've been around this grave for half a day! I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when I thought about it.
At this time, I encountered a large dark cloud, obscuring the moon, and I was not afraid that it would be false to say that I was not afraid of that situation, so I hurried forward without looking back. But I walked for a long time and found that there was always a grave in front of me, and my cold sweat couldn't stop flowing down.
I run and run, I run, run, run. It feels like going around in circles in a cemetery. I think it's all over now, and even though I think so, I don't dare to sit idle under my legs, so I keep running forward.
Suddenly, there was a sound of blowing and beating, coming from the front, like the joy of a wedding, but with a sad and sad funeral tune, and gradually the sound came closer, and the voice was approaching me little by little.
I was even more scared when I heard this voice, who does red and white things in the middle of the night? Then a group of people dressed in white appeared in front of me. They all held musical instruments, and they floated towards me all the way, why do they say floating?
Damn they're floating in mid-air, and their feet don't touch the ground. Seeing this, my heart is about to jump out, but I can't take a step under my feet!
There are really a lot of ghosts in this group, not to mention more than twenty, behind the wind ghosts in front, followed by four tall and fat ghosts, carrying a blood-red sedan chair. Except for this big red sedan chair, the others are white, and behind the sedan chair, there are several strong ghosts carrying large boxes.
Although there are many of them, their pace is surprisingly consistent, to be precise, they are the same. Watching them get closer to me scared me
It's all about to break, this is the old man talking about marrying a ghost.
According to the old people, the man will be hooked by the ghost bride to be the groom, and the woman will be gouged out of the heart for the ghost bride to "taste".
I can't help but sigh that the innocence I have guarded for the past 18 years may be gone tonight. But in an instant, they floated in front of me. When they saw me in their way, they stopped and floated in the air. The moonlight was hidden and I was vague when I saw their blank expressions and pale faces.
At this time, a ghost who looked like a matchmaker in front of the sedan chair actually opened her mouth to speak, and her tongue suddenly hung down to her knees.
Seeing this, I almost fainted directly, the ghost matchmaker has a dark eye glowing with green light, but in the other eye socket, black blood is constantly flowing down.
Dripped down the face on the white mourning clothes, it looked particularly eye-catching. The matchmaker ghost said again: "You are waiting for my young lady here?" Yin and Yang are reincarnated in five hundred years, today we will entrust Miss to you, you are so old together on the Huangquan Road," I hurriedly explained, but I couldn't open my mouth, and I couldn't even say a word.
Then the ghost matchmaker said again: "My young lady has a crush on you, let's go, let's go to the church below." This time, the black blood actually flowed down his tongue again. Hearing this, my sweat ran down my face, and I thought to myself, this is over, I am dead.
Then a piercing, rat-like "chirp" laughter came into my ears, I looked up, only to see the ghost bride, open the sedan chair, right in front of me, the iron blue face, and a pair of eyes with a faint blue light, and the pair of fangs, I can't help but feel disillusioned, she just smiled at me, laughing and laughing, her head fell off all at once, and then she rolled on the ground, until it rolled to my feet.
Just as I was about to close my eyes and die, a beam of moonlight shone through the dark clouds. Then there was nothing in front of me, and my right foot was wrapped in a lot of weeds, one after the other.
Thinking of what happened just now, I couldn't help but tremble, and then my mind went blank, I only remembered the direction of home, I ran all the way back to the village, knocked on the door of Lao Li's house at the entrance of the village, and then fainted.
This dizziness was a week, and when I woke up again, I was lying on the bamboo bed at home, and when my mother saw that I was awake, she immediately cried into tears. In the days that followed, I told the elders of the village about my experience, and everyone said that I was not married to a ghost bride because of my fate.
