Mountain Village Horror_Chapter 37: 100,000 dowry
Of course, I wondered, if it wasn't for the second aunt, then who would that person be yesterday?
Cheng Ke whispered: "Second aunt, I lost my soul." ”
"You mean to say that the second aunt is a little delirious?" I hurriedly asked, "Is it because of Lulu's irritation?" ”
Cheng Ke nodded and said: "People have three souls and seven spirits, they are a whole, all of them are indispensable, when they encounter fright, and when they are stimulated, this state may occur, so the second aunt is a little bit wrong to ask, because the part that knows the inside story is separated from the soul, that is, she doesn't want to think about it and forces herself to forget." ”
I kind of understand, yes, every time the second aunt avoids the problem, it's related to Lulu!
"Second aunt," I asked, crouching down again, "did you see Lulu?" Do you know where Lulu is? ”
The second aunt still didn't seem to hear my words: "The woman is not the mother, the woman is not the mother, the woman is not the mother......"
At the same time, the incense that the second aunt placed in front of the coffin rose again and drifted away, I knew that this would attract things that shouldn't come, so I said: "Second aunt, since Lulu is not dead, then let's remove these things, okay?" ”
"Why withdraw?" The second aunt suddenly became excited, stared at me, and said, "Do you want to spoil Lulu's good deeds?" ”
I felt a chill on my body: "Second aunt, tell me, what is the good thing?" ”
The second aunt laughed: "It's a good thing, we Lulu is getting married, that young man came here yesterday, call me mom, hahaha......"
Where are the lads?
"That's right," the second aunt said, and grabbed me, the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were full of joy: "You help your cousin look at each other, that young man, he really looks like a spirit!" ”
I hurriedly said, "Okay, second aunt, what's the name of that young man, and where does he live?" ”
"What's it called?" The second aunt thought about it: "I can't remember ...... clearly"
I was deflated all of a sudden, and the second aunt said excitedly: "You come, you come, I'll show you good things!" It's all your cousin's dowry! ”
As he spoke, he pulled me and went to the building: "I, I've been preparing for a long time, and I'm ready, you're from the city, you have a good eye, help me take a look!" Help me see! ”
I followed the second aunt and passed, and the second aunt dragged me all the way to the second floor, I remember that the second uncle said that the second aunt lived on the second floor and the relatives of the mother's family, but when I went up, the second floor was clear and quiet, and there was no trace of anyone living at all.
Also, the floor was covered with a thin layer of ash.
My heart hung up all of a sudden, yesterday, I heard very clearly the footsteps of people running overhead, very noisy, how come this thin layer of ash on the ground, flat and neat, not even a footprint?
"Second aunt, don't your relatives from your mother's family live on the second floor?" I asked cautiously.
"Where do we have any relatives?" The second aunt said disapprerovingly: "There are not a few people left, and they have long stopped interacting." ”
Second uncle, you're lying......
That thin layer of dust was stepped on by me and my second aunt A few footprints, but I turned around and found that where Cheng Ke had walked, the dust was still flat and neat, and there was no trace left.
I know what happened to the one who was running upstairs yesterday......
"This is it!" The second aunt opened a door very excitedly.
The door creaked open, and when I looked up, I was frightened, and I saw a huge room, nothing else, full of paperwork!
Paper horses with fine workmanship, golden ingots, shiny cash cows, and even paper villas, cars, and LCD TVs!
There are even several pairs of boys and girls who are tied with paper, grinning, eyebrows and eyes, revealing a crude and strange smile!
"Look at this dress...... "The second aunt picked up a paper-cut fishtail evening dress and gestured on me: "How beautiful she looks in it!" ”
I felt a chill in my heart: "Second aunt, this is all for Lulu?" ”
"Yes, get married...... second aunt said, "Why do you have to have a toasting suit, it's fashionable now, isn't it the same in your city?" ”
"Yes......" I nodded, "But how do you wear these things?" ”
"What do you say?" The second aunt stared at me very strangely, and her voice was deep: "Burn her over!" ”
In the heart of the second aunt, Lulu is dead......
"Anyone?" At this time, someone outside suddenly shouted: "We are from the Jiang family!" ”
I turned around and saw several men standing in the courtyard, staring at the coffin with a gloomy face, and some of them pouted and hugged their arms, feeling cold.
"Second aunt, there is a guest at home...... I looked back, but I didn't expect the second aunt to disappear out of nowhere.
"Huh?" I looked at Cheng Ke, a little at a loss: "What about the second aunt?" ”
Cheng Ke said indifferently: "Let's go." ”
"Then why didn't you stop her?" I hurriedly said: "It's a guest, the main family is not here, what's the matter?" ”
"Isn't that just right?" Cheng Ke smiled slightly: "The main family is not here, so it is convenient to speak." ”
At the same time, the men had already seen me behind the window and waved at me, telling me to go down quickly.
I couldn't help it, so I went down.
When those few saw me, they looked at me quite unceremoniously: "Who are you from Yang Yaohui's family?" ”
As soon as I saw that it was not good, I replied, "This is my second uncle's house, may I ask you what is the matter?" ”
"Let's get back what belongs to us." The men said, and as they spoke, they were about to break inside: "Their family doesn't dare to come out, so you can block it?" ”
I frowned, and I really blocked it: "If you have something to say, please make it clear first, my second uncle and second aunt are not here." ”
"What are you, why are you telling you?" A shirtless man with a green dragon tattooed on his back honestly and unceremoniously wanted to push me away, and just when the man's hand was about to touch me, he suddenly twitched violently, as if he had been electrocuted, he stared at his fingers in disbelief, only to see that the five nails on it were all like they had been pulled out by life, a blur of flesh and blood!
Seeing this, several men's faces turned pale, and several pairs of eyes stared at me and then at Cheng Ke, full of panic and vigilance.
Cheng Ke's long figure is still standing obliquely, very chic, with peach blossom eyes squinting slightly, still looking leisurely: "If you are in a good mood today, I won't unload your arms." ”
I also know that no matter how good-looking Cheng Ke is, he always has such a daunting evil aura on his body, which is not easy to approach, and it is very intimidating!
The faces of several men were red and white, and the ruthless appearance just now was all suppressed by Cheng Ke's momentum.
Finally, one of the people who looked a little older said in a trembling voice: "Let's have something to say, whose family is living, the money is not blowing in the wind, if you say no, who is willing, you return the bride price money to us, and our boy will find another girl, and from now on our two families will have nothing to do with each other, do you say okay?" ”
I hurriedly asked, "What bride price?" ”
When the man heard this, he hurriedly said, "Didn't your second uncle tell you?" Just the 100,000 yuan of the engagement......"
Then I understood: "Your son, is he engaged to Lulu?" ”
"yes!" The man hurriedly brought over a cowering boy behind him: "It's him, he's honest, he's engaged to Lulu, and neither of them has held hands, Lulu has this matter, then we, we have to do our plans!" ”
I looked at the young man, who was in his early twenties, maybe a little smaller than Lulu, with a cowardly look, a small flat head, small eyes and a nose, a big mouth, a face full of acne, a weak heart and a low head, looking very uncomfortable, I had just seen Cheng Ke's ability, and he had secretly pulled his father's clothes, which meant that he wanted to leave.
Is this the son-in-law that the second aunt said? Strange to say, Lulu and I have a good relationship, and if she is engaged, she should also give me news, but this is the first time I have heard of it today.
I also understood, probably the family saw that Lulu had found a short-sighted, afraid that they would be empty of money and money, so they came to ask for the bride price, so they said: "Lulu encountered such a thing, everyone is in a mess, you feel sorry for this money, I can understand it, but they are all from the town, it is estimated that if the matter of the two children really does not work out, the second uncle will not ...... this money."
And the young man's father was afraid that he would not agree with him, Cheng Ke gave them something, and hurriedly said: "What you said is really right, we, we are really not the right time, then we will go first, go first......"
As he spoke, the group seemed to flee for their lives and left.
I furrowed my brows and asked again, "May I ask this young man, what's his name?" ”
A few people were stumbling to get out, but when they heard me ask, they all froze.
The young man turned his face, frightened as if he was about to cry, and stammered, "I...... My name is Jiang Yang. ”
Probably afraid of what Cheng Ke would do to them, I hurriedly said: "Don't be afraid, I don't mean anything else, I just ask." ”
But those people didn't believe it, their expressions were extremely ugly all of a sudden, and when they left, they whispered: "Who knows that this Yang Yaohui has invited such a powerful character......"
"This 100,000 yuan, it's not good to ask for it......"
"That's better than no life, ghost keeper, can't afford to mess with ......"
Sure enough, the people in Tanshen Town seem to know all about ghost cultivators!
After a few people left, I sighed: "As soon as people come to life, they come to ask for a bride price, which is really uncomfortable." ”
Cheng Ke stared at the coffin noncommittally, and suddenly said, "Let's go out and buy some glutinous rice." ”
I was stunned and asked, "What do you want glutinous rice for?" ”
Cheng Ke clasped the edge of the coffin with a pair of slender and white hands, and said, "I want to see, the thing inside the coffin, has it hatched." ”
"Incubate?" I immediately remembered that yesterday there was a person who put something in the coffin, closed the coffin lid, and also set his eyes on the coffin lid, but only then did I realize that the coffin lid was actually wedged shut!
When a person wants to be buried, the coffin can be wedged, and then it will never be opened, there is an idiom called "the conclusion of the coffin" is the meaning, there is no coffin containing people, why wedge?
"Cheng Ke......" I felt uneasy: "Second aunt and second uncle, and Lulu, what happened to them?" ”
"Of course we're in trouble." Cheng Ke hooked his thin lips and said with a smile: "It's still a big trouble." ”
I also wanted to ask, but Cheng Ke just circled me and walked outside: "This place is worth visiting." ”
Out of the small western-style building of the second uncle's house, walking down the dirt slope, I didn't have far to see a small grocery store, this kind of rural grocery store, and full of those gadgets with childhood memories, the packaging is rough, the workmanship is rough, but it is the feeling when I was a child.
The owner of the grocery store is a chubby middle-aged man, when I came when I was a child, I always came here with Lulu with the pocket money given by my grandmother, and I still remember this person, a young fat man.
Now that the years have passed, except for the traces of time crawling on the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, and he is slightly bald, the sun is still shining down at the previous angle, the dust is still flying in the light, the order in which various things are placed on the shelves, and everything else, has not changed, making me feel like I have fallen into the time tunnel of childhood.
His surname is Hu, everyone calls him Fat Fox, and we children call him Brother Hu.
Hu Ge was sitting in front of the counter drowsy, but when he saw Cheng Ke and I coming in, he quickly cheered up and beckoned, "What are you two buying?" ”
"Glutinous rice." Cheng Ke said: "Three catties." ”
The boss nodded, shook his clumsy body and dragged out a rice bag in a corner, took a scoop and scooped the glutinous rice out: "Looking at the two eyes, aren't they locals?" ”
I nodded and said, "Brother Hu, I used to come here to buy bubble gum when I was a child, but I haven't seen you for many years!" ”
"You know me?" Brother Hu looked at me and was stunned: "In the entire Tanshen Town, there is no one I don't know Hu Fatzi, I don't know whose distinguished guests you are?" ”
I smiled and said, "Yang Yaohui is my second uncle, and my grandfather's name is Yang Yunchang." ”
"Huh?" The fat man's scoop that he had been holding firmly in his hand suddenly trembled, and a lot of glutinous rice was sprinkled: "Yang Yaohui...... Is it Lulu's house? ”
I glanced at his fat hand and nodded, "Yes, I used to come with Lulu when I was a kid. ”
"Ah," the fat man suddenly seemed to have a layer of sweat on his head, "I remember you!" Aren't you just the little girl with a big red bow on her head! ”
I nodded and said with a smile: "I haven't been here for more than ten years, Brother Hu has a good memory." ”
Brother Hu lowered his head and put the glutinous rice on the scale, but his hand was still unsteady, and he sprinkled a circle of glutinous rice: "Yes, Lulu has such a big thing this time, no wonder you came all the way here, too, it's also ......"
I nodded and said, "Thankfully, the man survived." ”
Unexpectedly, Brother Hu whispered to himself: "It's better to die that time......
"Huh?" I asked strangely, "Brother Hu, what did you say?" ”
"Nothing, nothing." Brother Hu wiped the sweat from his head with a worried expression, and squeezed out a smile: "You, you are really a female college student, you are better looking than when you were a child, if you don't say it, I really won't recognize it!" ”
As he spoke, he wrapped the glutinous rice in paper and stuffed it into my hand: "Take it and eat it, Brother Hu invites you." ”
"How can this work?" I hurriedly said: "Brother Hu, this is the place to do business......
Brother Hu still wanted to push with me, but Cheng Keqingyue's voice sounded: "Excuse me, who is the old lady in this photo frame?" ”
I turned around and saw Cheng Ke standing next to a wall with darts and bows and arrows, looking into a black-and-white picture frame with big peach blossom eyes, and there was a very rich gray-haired old lady squinting and smiling.
This old lady is quite familiar...... My back was cold, and I suddenly remembered, isn't this the old lady I saw in the yard yesterday, wearing a shroud and eating tribute!
"This is my mother-in-law." Brother Hu said disapprerovingly: "I've been with us all the time, but I didn't have it a few days ago." ”
Really......
Cheng Ke continued: "I don't know, what did this old lady do when she was alive before? ”
When Brother Hu heard this, he was a little embarrassed: "You people in the city, you probably think we are ignorant, don't be afraid of your jokes, my mother-in-law is a matchmaker, that is, she specializes in matching people with secret marriages. ”
That's right, that's right...... Yesterday the old lady said that she is not a relative of our family, she is here to help with the happy event!
As if I had caught a glimmer of hope, I hurriedly asked, "Brother Hu, do you know what happened to my second uncle's family recently?" When I came here, I thought it was weird everywhere! ”
"They didn't tell you anything? That's no wonder......" Brother Hu was stunned for a moment, and said with a little weakness: "Let me tell you, don't say that I said it, in fact, the matter has to be ...... from your second aunt."
Suddenly, Brother Hu stopped talking, and a pair of small eyes stared behind me in horror!
