The nightmare, it's over.

Bai Li thought that she would see Ah Chang's death and see the death of the cat master, but she actually fell out of the nightmare.

The transparent thread on her fingers burned with a silvery sheen, and she pursed her mouth and gently pulled: "Bai Ze, are you still there?" ”

"In!" Bai Ze suddenly appeared, touched her head with his hand, and said in a low voice, "Frightened, right?" ”

"It's not scary, how can it be frightened." Bai Li muttered: "I just feel a little uncomfortable in my heart." Mei Niang, she, is so pitiful. ”

"It's really pitiful, but isn't that what happens in this world? When you first meet someone, you don't know what will happen next. The better the beginning, the more tragic the ending is likely to be. On the contrary, the not-so-happy ending may be the best in the end. ”

"How's Chang doing? I saw that A-Niang's mother died, and it was the woman who desperately beat Mei Niang, but I didn't see the result of A-Chang. ”

"Want to see it?" Bai Ze asked.

Bai Li hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Bai Ze clasped her hand, "Please Madame close your eyes, I will open them when I say so." ”

Bai Li obediently closed her eyes, feeling the wind passing by, and before she could open her eyes, she heard a sound of rustling footsteps not far away.

"Bai Ze, did you hear the footsteps? There seem to be a lot of people. ”

"It's not a person, it's something else." Bai Ze said softly: "Madam, please open your eyes." Don't be afraid, I'm there for you. ”

Bai Li opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was Bai Ze. This time was different from last time, Bai Ze was standing beside her, and his hand was still firmly clasped on his hand. Not far away, two long columns emerged from the hazy mist, slowly walking towards them from far and near.

"Shall we hide?" Bai Li asked in a low voice: "They seem to be paper people!" ”

"No, they can't see us. You forget, it's a dream, it's something that has already happened. ”

After Bai Ze finished speaking, the two teams approached. Led by a pair of smiling golden boys and girls, even if there is a red mole on their foreheads, their faces are painted in exaggerated red. In addition, the facial features of the paper figure are still very attractive. Both boys and girls have curved eyebrows and big eyes, and they have sharp contours.

The golden boy and the girl each hold a red candle in their hands, the body of the candle is like a child's arm, and the golden dragon and golden phoenix are intertwined with each other, and with the burning of the candle, the rich smell of blood comes to the surface. Bai Li stretched out his hand to cover his nose, but his eyes were asking Bai Ze: "Could this candle be made of human blood?" ”

Bai Ze glanced at her and did not answer.

"Isn't it? Then how did I smell a very strong smell of blood. Bai Li muttered.

"It's not a candle, it's not a paper man, it's a dead man."

"Dead people? Where are the dead people, what we see now is clearly paper people. ”

"In the back. Madame, don't worry, wait. ”

Led by the golden boy and girl, the two teams slowly passed by the two. Bai Li moved his gaze to the back of the team, looked at it for a while, and suddenly said in a low voice, "Huh?" "Yes.

She was not unprepared, but she was surprised that the person who appeared in the team was actually a person she was very familiar with-Ah Chang.

Ah Chang sat on the back of a papier-mâché horse and staggered along with the procession. His eyes were closed, his skin was pale, and he could be recognized as a dead man by his appearance alone. Although the person is dead, he still retains the appearance he had before his death, and he still has the same face that makes people look a little angry and disgusted. Immediately behind Ah Chang was a delicate child, a white sedan chair that was also made of papier-mâché.

The sedan curtain is also made of paper, and when he was about to get to Bai Li, the sedan curtain was suddenly lifted, and Bai Li saw a face. That face was also full of death, but the appearance was something Bai Li had never seen before.

"The groom is Ah Chang, who is the bride?"

"It should be Achana's concubine."

"The concubine still wants to use this kind of pomp to welcome back?"

"Originally, it wasn't used, but Achang's family deliberately wanted to make Mei Niang ugly." Bai Ze explained: "Before Mei Niang was mourned, Ah Chang's family was asking for him to take a concubine. Before Mei Niang's bones were cold, Ah Chang had already welcomed the woman into the door. Not only did it welcome, but it also used the same pomp as marrying a wife. It is said that the money was taken from Mei Niang's dowry. I guess they are using this way to deliberately disgust Mei Niang. It's a pity that people are dead, and it would be ridiculous for them to do these things again. ”

"Why did the concubine die?"

"The cat killed me." Bai Ze motioned for Bai Li to look at the concubine's body.

At first glance, Bai Li didn't look carefully, and the concubine was dressed in a wedding dress, and the festive red color covered the scars on her body. After careful identification, I saw that the wedding dress was torn, as if it had been grabbed by claws. Although the concubine also has her eyes closed, her facial features are not stretched, and she looks frightened. Nine times out of ten, this little concubine was scared to death by the cat master.

The paw prints on her front were large, but they weren't fatal.

In addition to Ah Chang and the concubine sitting in the sedan chair, Bai Li also saw a pair of men and women. The man is about 30 years old and looks a little similar to Ah Chang. The woman is Ah Chang's mother, the woman who was hanged by the peach branch that Bai Li saw in the dream before.

"That should be Ah Chang's father. Ah Chang's father died of illness when he was still an adult, and the body that Mrs. saw should have been dug up from the graveyard by the cat master. Judging from the degree of preservation of the corpse, the feng shui of the cemetery of the Achang family is not bad, no wonder their family was not very good when they were young, since the burial of Achang's father, they have slowly changed their fortunes, and the days are getting better and better. ”

Ah Chang's father and mother are all in the same posture, with their faces lowered and following behind the sedan chair. His face was like snow, and his walking posture was no different from the paper figures in front of him.

"What are they going to do? Married? Why do you have to run to the mountains when you get married? ”

"They don't get married, they go to plead guilty. Mei Niang was buried on the top of the mountain, and the cemetery was also chosen by the cat master. Bai Ze stared at the slowly moving team and lowered his voice: "Look over there!" ”

Following the direction of Bai Ze's finger, Bai Li saw the cat master who followed the back of the line. His eyes were cold, the kind that wanted to kill at any moment.

The team continued to move forward slowly, and soon, the cat master who followed the team also walked in front of Bai Li. The cat was holding a strange thing in his hand, a black, round clay pot. The jar was so small that it looked the size of the cat's palm. Such a small jar is certainly not used to hold ashes. But if it's not for ashes, then what?

"Canned food, the little jar in the cat's hand is full of canned food, canned food made of peaches. The cat has two favorites in his life, one is fish and the other is canned. Those canned foods were made by Mei Niang herself. The pot in the cat's hand is the first can of canned peaches made by Mei Niang, and the taste is average, and even a little bitter. Mei Niang asked the cat master to throw it away, but the cat master was reluctant and secretly hid the can. ”
