Chapter 6: The Ghost Marriage

This is a legend of Wuzhai. This is a separate story.

The time goes back four hundred years.

At that time, Wuzhai had not yet taken shape, but there were dozens of scattered households.

There is no clear boundary between these families, and living in such a large space, the living resources are also sufficient, and there is no influence on each other.

However, the calm is always easy to break.

These dozens of families are hunting and digging wild vegetables and picking wild fruits for a living, and the surrounding woods are vast, and the animals and plants are also extremely rich, and the life is originally very nourishing.

But in recent times, there have always been Orions who have disappeared for no reason.

It wasn't until one day that a hunter ran back home with half a broken leg in tow, and people learned that a huge beast had appeared in the forest, with speed and strength far beyond the control of the hunter, and it must have eaten the people who had disappeared before.

In order to avenge the deceased and for their future livelihoods, dozens of families discussed countermeasures together, and the hunters of each family gathered in an open space at the moment to talk freely.

Some say digging traps, others say putting poison. People put together all sorts of ideas and decided to try them out if they were able to do it.

A month has passed.

The monster didn't come out to hurt people again, and people thought that the monster had migrated to other realms, so they gradually relaxed their vigilance.

On this day, Orion Ajia's wife gave birth to a son to him.

From ancient times to the present, having a son is a major event for a family to rejoice.

So Ajia invited her usual good friend Ah Guang's family to celebrate together. Ah Guang was naturally very happy, and brought all the game he had hunted yesterday with the good wine stored at home.

The two families rejoiced together, as if they were a family.

After that, the two brothers, Ah Jia and Ah Guang, hunted together every day, and always had a good harvest.

Until one day, something unfortunate happened.

Ah Jia and Ah Guang went out hunting, but it was already dark, and they didn't come back after holding the lamp.

The daughters-in-law of the two families waited hard together, and finally in the second half of the night, Ajia came back alone.

When Ah Guang's wife saw that her husband had not returned, she eagerly inquired.

Ah Jia was silent at first, but then sighed and muttered, "We ran into a wild beast, and Ah Guang was eaten by a wild beast. ”

Ah Guang's wife fainted at that time.

For Ah Guang's death, Ah Jia always felt sorry for his brother, after all, he was the eldest brother, but he failed to protect Ah Guang at the critical moment, and he came back safely alone.

Therefore, Ah Jia often goes to take care of Ah Guang's wife.

Ah Guang's wife found out she was pregnant.

When Ah Jia learned the news, he was deeply happy for his brother Ah Guang, and Ah Guang's bloodline could finally continue to be passed on.

In order to make the child develop better, Ajia went more often, often brought fresh prey, and told his wife to accompany him often.

Recently, however, there has been a not-so-good story among Orion. It is said that a wild beast was seen chasing two hunters, and one of them stabbed the other to death, and the beast ate the hunter who was stabbed to death, and the other fled.

This story finally reached the ears of Ah Guang's wife, and Ah Guang's wife's attitude towards Ah Jia's family suddenly became unfriendly.

Later, there were rumors in the market that Ah Guang's daughter-in-law was actually Ah Jia's child.

Ah Guang's daughter-in-law really felt that it was difficult to be a person, so she went back to her parents' house with a child and luggage.

She was walking alone on the road in the woods, and suddenly a coyote came out in front of her, and Ah Guang's daughter-in-law was so frightened that she stood in place. Just as the coyote was about to attack, an arrow shot out of the grass and hit the coyote in the throat.

At this moment, a man crawled out of the grass beside him, and this man was covered with a bed made of weeds, and his camouflage was quite complete, and he was lying on the side of the road and could not be seen at all.

Ah Guang's daughter-in-law knows this person, and he is a new Yu Orion who has moved in the past year.

This is more than 30 years old for Orion, and he is still a bachelor when he comes alone. Although he has not lived here for a long time, most people have a good impression of this person, and in general he is honest and simple.

After the fright just now, Ah Guang's daughter-in-law had a fetal gas, and Ah Guang's daughter-in-law resolutely refused to go home, so she had to take her to her home in Orion.

Yu Orion took good care of Ah Guang's daughter-in-law, and soon after, she gave birth to a little girl.

After a few months of getting along, Aguang's daughter-in-law felt that Yu Orion was really a simple person, so she lived with Yu Orion.

Yu Orion has just arrived, and he looks a little ugly, it is not easy to get a daughter-in-law, and Ah Guang's daughter-in-law is not only capable but also good-looking, so he naturally can't ask for it.

Orion Ajia learned that Ah Guang's daughter-in-law, mother and daughter were safe, and her heart was quite steady.

Originally, Ah Jia and Ah Guang went hunting together that day, and the two went their separate ways to meet before sunset to meet and share the prey and go home, but Ah Jia did not wait for Ah Guang at sunset, and when he finally found Ah Guang in the depths of the woods, Ah Guang was only eaten and left with less than half of his body, and the monster had long been missing.

Whenever Ah Jia recalls the events of that day, he is determined to get rid of the monster and avenge the Ah Guang brothers.

The hardest thing to keep is time.

Fifteen years have passed, although Ajia goes to look for the beast every day, but after all, he has not encountered it, recently Ajia has become seriously ill, and before he died, he called his son Xiaofeng to the bed and asked: The beast must be put to death.

Aka is dead.

Xiaofeng went up the mountain every day to look for wild beasts. Xiaofeng learned to hunt since he was a child, and his skills were not under his father.

On this day, Xiaofeng hunted and did not encounter wild beasts, but was besieged by a group of wild boars, Xiaofeng parried left and right, but he was helpless, and he was bitten by a wild boar on his calf without paying attention.

At this critical moment, four or five bows and crossbows flew in and the wild boar was attacked, giving Xiaofeng time to breathe.

I saw a young girl squatting on a tree not far away, and the wild boar turned to attack the girl, but she couldn't climb the tall tree.

Xiaofeng also took the opportunity to climb the tree and cast a bow and arrow on the wild boar. Soon the boars all fled.

The two came down from the tree, Xiaofeng thanked him repeatedly, the girl smiled sweetly, and the two of them were quite speculative.

Xiaofeng knew that this girl's name was Xiaoyun, and for a period of time after that, the two often hunted together, and they cooperated quite tacitly.

But one day, when Xiaoyun knew that Xiaofeng was Ajia's son, he left without looking back.

Xiaofeng didn't know that Xiaoyun was Ah Guang's daughter.

One day, Yu Orion and Xiaoyun's mother were on the way back from hunting.

Suddenly, there was a muffled sound in the grass, and a huge black beast appeared in front of them.

Yu Orion picked up Xiaoyun's mother and ran, and the beast seemed to be hungry, staring at Orion and chasing after him.

It's about to be overtaken by wild beasts.

Yu Orion suddenly pulled out his waist knife and aimed it at Xiaoyun's mother's stomach!

Xiaoyun's mother was stunned for a moment, and then stupid, she seemed to understand something in an instant, but before she had time to figure it out, the beast's fangs had already bitten her neck.

Yu Orion finally escaped, and he returned home, crying and telling Xiaoyun that his mother had been killed by wild beasts.

Xiaoyun immediately felt that the world was spinning, and he was sick in bed for several days.

When Xiaofeng heard that the beast came out to hurt people again, and also ate Ah Guang's wife, his heart was furious. He went out early and returned late every day, and he was sure to put the beast to death.

Xiaofeng roams the mountains every day in search of the whereabouts of wild beasts. But they all came home empty-handed.

Recently, Xiaofeng suddenly heard bad news: Xiaoyun couldn't stand the blow of his mother's death, and had a nervous breakdown and went crazy.

Since meeting Xiaoyun in the forest, Xiaoyun has really saved his life, and then he has accumulated innocent emotions in the days he has been together.

Xiaofeng often thinks that if there is no misunderstanding of the previous generation, he and Xiaoyun will have a happy road to go. And now the tragedy is not over, Xiaoyun is now a fatherless and motherless person.

Xiaofeng himself couldn't go over to visit Xiaoyun in person, so he entrusted his mother to visit Orion's house with the extremely precious prey he had hunted.

Xiaofeng heard his mother come back and say that Xiaoyun's spirit was not as bad as it was rumored outside, and his body was still healthy. Xiaofeng was a little relieved at this time, and told his mother to visit often, and once he caught a good prey, he always entrusted his mother to send it.

Recently, for some reason, I don't know why, I have been forbidden to visit Orion's house.

Xiaofeng inquired about the news in many ways, and no one knew the specific situation, but every day when Yu Orion went out, he would lock the people at home tightly, and someone had passed by the door and heard the crying of a woman inside, it may be that Xiaoyun's condition is more serious.

On this day, Xiaofeng came out to hunt, and he saw a very good pheasant, so he chased after him.

Suddenly, Xiaofeng smelled the smell of barbecued meat, and looked around, there was a haystack on the side of the road, and it seemed that the fragrance was coming from behind the haystack.

Little Wind crept around behind the haystack and saw an unkempt man roasting a hare on a fire.

The man hurriedly lowered his head when he saw Xiao Feng's face, but Xiao Feng exclaimed when he saw it, it turned out that this person was Xiao Yun.

Xiao Feng couldn't believe his eyes, how did the little cloud with a smile turn into such a miserable appearance.

Xiao Feng knew that it was not normal for Xiao Yun to be mentally stimulated, so he asked softly, "Hello." Why are you here alone?"

Xiaoyun finally laughed, but it was a bitter smile.

Xiaoyun didn't speak, but picked up the roasted rabbit meat and ate it in a big gulp.

Xiao Feng watched from the side, feeling very uncomfortable, and hurriedly handed over the freshly picked fruit. Xiaoyun took it and took a big bite to eat.

Xiao Feng watched quietly from the side until Xiao Yun was full.

Xiaoyun wiped his mouth, his eyes were dumbfounded, and after a long while, he opened his mouth and said, "Do you think I'm crazy?"

Xiao Feng said: "I heard everyone talk about it, but I don't think you will be crazy, it's just that you were too sad before." ”

Xiaoyun said: "I'm really sad. Did you see that?" He pointed to his stomach.

Xiao Feng looked at it smoothly. I only felt that Xiaoyun's lower abdomen was slightly bulging, and Xiaoyun said expressionlessly, "I'm pregnant." ”

It turned out that on that day, Yu Orion went home and told Xiaoyun that his mother had been eaten by a wild beast. Xiaoyun fell ill immediately.

For a few days, Xiaoyun was in a trance, and he relied on Orion to take care of him.

Since Xiaoyun's mother married Yu Orion, Yu Orion is also a good father, and he has also taken good care of Xiaoyun since he was a child. Although Xiaoyun knew that he was not born to Orion, he also regarded Orion as his father.

Two or three days after Xiaoyun's mother's death, Yu Orion was very different from usual, and his original honest temperament became irritable. Xiaoyun often heard Yu Orion's heart-rending howl in the house at night.

One night, Xiaoyun heard Yu Orion tossing in the house again, she thought that it was because of her mother's death that had hit Yu Orion's heart badly, Xiaoyun felt unbearable, so she came to Yu Orion's house with an oil lamp in her hand.

Through the faint light, Xiaoyun saw that Yu Orion was disheveled, his hair was disheveled, and his eyes were bloodshot.

Yu Orion was also stunned when he saw Xiaoyun coming, and just when Xiaoyun was about to persuade him, Yu Orion suddenly pounced and hugged Xiao Yan tightly in his arms, and then pressed her on the bed.

The next day, Xiaoyun lay alone on the bed as if she was stupid, she never expected her adoptive father to be such a beast person.

Yu Orion looked at Xiaoyun from the side, thinking of last night's animal behavior, but his heart was beautiful.

Yu Orion said: "Girl, I originally fell in love with your mother, so I set up a set to put your mother over, but unfortunately your mother's life is not good, and I blocked the beast, and now I am not afraid to tell you, I think your father also blocked the beast for me that year, and now they are finally reunited in the underworld." Then again, they are reunited, what should I do, I'm almost fifty years old this year, it's not easy to find your mother so beautiful again, but girl, you are more beautiful than your mother, you serve me well, your father must not be able to treat you badly, if you dare to be disobedient to your father, you can clean you up. ”

Xiaoyun shed two lines of tears, and she felt very bitter. The mother actually fell in love with the murderer for more than ten years, and finally died at the hands of this person, and finally even her daughter was ruined by this beast.

At first, Xiaoyun wanted to run, but Yu Orion's doors and windows were tightly sealed, and Yu Orion's house was located in a remote area, and there were no other people's homes around him, so it seemed impossible to run.

So Xiaoyun thought of suicide several times, but she didn't die, maybe God deliberately tricked her, and she found that she was suffering from the evil seed of the hunter. Or maybe God favored her and left her alive, waiting to avenge her parents.

Finally, one day, when Orion was doing wrong to him, Xiaoyun took advantage of Orion's inattention, took out the iron hammer he had hidden under the bed and smashed it on Yun Orion's head.

Xiaoyun rushed out of the door and ran desperately. Behind him, Yu Orion's roar came: "Come back to Lao Tzu, see how Lao Tzu catches you back!"

Taking advantage of the night, Xiaoyun luckily escaped Yu Orion's capture.

She ran aimlessly, she was dizzy with hunger, so she had to set a trap herself and catch a hare, and while she was roasting the hare, she saw the little wind.

At this moment, there is nothing to hide. Xiao Yun told Xiao Feng everything, and Xiao Feng was extremely shocked and angry after hearing it.

Xiao Feng said: "Xiaoyun, I'll take you to my house first and let my mother take care of you, and then I'll gather all the hunters to expose his face!"

Xiaoyun immediately leaned on Xiaofeng's shoulder and cried.

At this time, someone suddenly shouted: "Rabbit cub! I'm afraid you don't have that chance!"

A big man came from the side of the road, and both of them were frightened into a cold sweat when they saw it, and it was Yu Orion who came.

No matter what the character is, the level of hunters hunting is one and two within a radius of a hundred miles, and Xiaoyun can't be completely without a trace along the way. That Yu Orion found this place from all kinds of clues, and happened to see that Xiaofeng was also here.

Yu Orion eavesdropped on the conversation between the two on the side, and said in his heart: Now that I let you go, how can I still mess around here in the future? So he made up his mind to get rid of the two children.

Xiao Feng saw Yu Orion coming over with a machete, turned around and picked up Xiao Yun and ran.

Yu Orion was burly with long thighs and feet that clinged to Xiaofeng's back in less than five minutes.

Yu Orion reached out and grabbed Xiao Feng's collar and threw it to the side, Xiao Feng flew out with Xiao Yun in his arms, but when he saw the ground, Xiao Feng tried to push the ground with his legs, and made a meat pad for Xiao Yun.

Xiao Feng secretly said in his heart: "This person is really not as good as a beast, knowing that Xiao Yun is pregnant, he still has this dead hand." ”

Yu Orion laughed lewdly, walked up to the two, and said, "Are you still running now?" Let's die obediently!"

Yu Orion picked up the knife and slashed at Xiao Feng, Xiao Yun saw this, and struggled to turn his body over and lay on Xiao Feng's body.

Yu Orion was stunned for a moment, and said: "You are really protective of him, in fact, I only need to kill this kid today, and I plan to keep the little girl and enjoy it slowly in the future." ”

I saw that Orion raised his leg and pushed Xiaoyun out of the way, and he was about to kill Xiaofeng.

Xiao Fengyuan himself has a good hand, but when he landed just now, there happened to be a big stone on the ground that hit his waist, and now his lower body is numb and can't move.

At this critical juncture, suddenly a strong wind blew in the woods, and a hissing sound was heard, and a huge black body appeared in front of Yu Orion's eyes at an extremely fast speed!

Yu Orion was shocked when he saw it, it turned out that this was the rumored beast, and it actually appeared here!

Yu Orion saw that the beast was about to pounce with its mouth open, so he wanted to repeat his old trick, grabbed Xiaofeng with one hand and threw it at the beast.

Seeing that Xiao Feng was about to be buried in the beast's mouth, a sharp dagger stabbed the beast's left rib fiercely. It was Xiao Yun's quick and intelligent blow, and the beast gave up the attack on Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng looked forward to killing the beast every day, but he didn't expect it to come out in this situation, and in order to hunt the beast, Xiao Feng researched a poisoned arrow very early.

This kind of beast can't be dealt with by conventional methods, and the situation just now is too critical to be used, taking advantage of the gap where the beast turned to attack Xiaoyun. Xiao Feng gritted his teeth and stood up, took out a poisoned arrow and shot it into the beast's eyes, and then drew his waist knife and slashed at the beast's hind legs.

The beast was so powerful that it shook its head to avoid the poisoned arrow, but its hind leg was slashed, and it screamed in pain.

Xiao Feng didn't care about anything at this time, just to get off Xiaoyun, he endured his back pain and flew to hug Xiaoyun and rolled into the grass in the distance.

Yu Orion could have taken advantage of the opportunity of the fight just now to escape, but he thought in his heart: if he took the opportunity to kill the beast, and then killed the little wind, or took advantage of the beast to kill the little wind, he would not become a big hero in this hundred miles away, and then the wealth of the beauty would come in a steady stream.

Unexpectedly, Xiaofeng actually resolved the crisis and hid in the grass with Xiaoyun.

The beast swept around, and then locked on Yu Orion, at this time, Yu Orion wanted to run too late, and there was no shield around him. Yu Orion barely fought with the beast for a few rounds, and finally was bitten by the beast on the waist, kicked a few times, and finally did not move.

Xiao Feng watched the battle from the sidelines, and saw that the Orion was bitten by the monster, and then aimed a poisoned arrow at the beast's left eye, and with a whoosh, the beast was defenseless and hit the eyeball.

The beast roared violently, and the poisonous arrow was extremely poisonous, and in only two or three seconds, the beast fell to the ground with a "boom".

Xiao Yun saw that the beast fell to the ground, and Yu Orion was also bitten to death by the beast, and now that the revenge of his parents was finally avenged, he couldn't help but hug Xiao Feng and cry with joy.

Xiaofeng shot a few more poisoned arrows at the beast, making sure that the beast was dead. The two came to the beast to check, and Xiaofeng squatted in front of the beast, carefully discerning the origin of the beast.

Suddenly, I heard a scream from Xiaoyun behind him, that Yu Orion was not dead, and he wanted to attack Xiaofeng but was discovered by Xiaoyun. Xiao Yun blocked Yu Orion's knife with his body, and a knife directly penetrated Xiao Yun's abdomen, Xiao Feng turned around and was shocked, kicked away from Orion, and then stepped forward to make up for a few knives, which made no sense for Orion to survive.

Xiaofeng picked up Xiaoyun, and blood gushed out of Xiaoyun's mouth. Xiao Feng cried bitterly, but Xiao Yun smiled.

Xiaoyun said softly: "I misunderstood you before, thank you." ”

Xiao Feng saw that Orion's knife was really fierce, and Xiao Yun's stomach had been cut open for most of it, and it was no longer possible to heal. Only closed his eyes tightly and hugged Xiaoyun tightly in his arms.

Xiao Yun's breath gradually weakened, and finally said the last sentence in Xiao Feng's ear: "I like you." ”

Xiaofeng turned all his true thoughts into the daylight, and he became a great hero to destroy the beast.

The breeze buried the clouds on the slope facing the sun.

Soon after, Xiaofeng also disappeared strangely.

But no monster has been seen since.

A young shoot sprouted next to Xiaoyun's tombstone, and a small tree grew, and the small tree grew very quickly, and in less than a year, the tombstone was surrounded tightly, and the huge canopy was like a big green umbrella, shielding from wind, frost, rain and snow.

Whenever the wind blows, the sky drifts through the white clouds and the leaves rustle.

The birds that flew by seemed to hear the wind and the clouds talking to each other.
