Chapter 62: Mourning

We followed the woman for about half an hour, and the light gradually became clear, it was indeed a village, but the village was not very large, at first glance, there were only 100 households, the woman pointed to the first house and said, "The first house in the east is my house!" ”

"This is your home? Big sister, didn't you say that your family is just your mother and daughter? Why is it still lit up in this house? ”

At the east end of this village, three earthen houses surrounded a small courtyard, and the courtyard was so bright that it seemed to be hung with several lanterns!

When the woman heard this, she smiled awkwardly and said, "That... Don't dare to hide it from the old man, you all know the situation in my family, for my unlucky daughter, I can think of all the ways I can think of, this time before the marriage, in case, I also specially invited a warlock to do it, but it's a pity, alas... I still haven't escaped this fate! The warlock said that he still had a way to resolve it, so I left him at home, presumably with me and my family waiting for my daughter to come back! ”

As soon as these words came out, Grandpa's face sank instantly, and even the old monk chanted the Buddha's name, stopped and looked at Grandpa, not to mention that the woman had already invited a warlock, but let Grandpa come, which was not in accordance with the rules, and besides, although she had not yet arrived in the courtyard, she could already hear a burst of noise, and the so-called family in this woman's family seemed to be quite a lot!

The woman also seemed to see the grandfather's hesitation, and actually cried again: "Don't blame the old man! I also have no choice, I don't know how much this kind of warlock invited, this time I don't know if this can be done, so when I met the old man, I begged for help, the old gentleman might as well take this opportunity to see for me whether this warlock has real skills, if it is a swagger, I will drive him out! ”

"Everyone has their own way, even if I see this warlock, I can't assert the skills of others, since the eldest sister has already found someone to crack it, I think we should not make more trouble!"

Grandpa was about to leave, but was stopped by the third uncle, whispered a few words in my grandfather's ear, as if to say that the ox cart, the woman's ears were also very pointed, the third uncle just finished speaking, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes!" As long as the old gentleman can relieve my daughter's bad luck, the promised ox cart, the old gentleman can take it! Master, don't all your monks have compassion for themselves, you can advise you! ”

When the old monk heard this, he didn't speak directly, but turned the Buddha bead in his hand to bypass the woman, and looked at the courtyard again.

According to this woman's words, her mother and daughter are in a miserable situation, and it is normal for such a family to be excluded in the village, and I have a deep understanding of this, but looking at the posture in the courtyard, this woman should have a lot of her own family, but he is a widow! And if the woman already had a magician in her house, why did she weep in the woods?

From beginning to end, we have always been suspicious of this woman, after all, even grandpa has only seen it in his life, but it is a pity that the old monk still did not find anything abnormal after watching it again, and turned to grandpa and nodded! In order to be able to ask for an oxcart to go back, the third uncle also kept persuading on the side, seeing that my grandfather was helpless to waver, I stepped forward and just wanted to question the woman, but at this moment, a woman's voice came from behind me:

"Mom!"

"Second sister-in-law!"

I was shocked, and when I looked back, there were four men and one woman who suddenly appeared, the four men were shirtless and strong, and the woman was wearing a long red dress, which was worn by the newcomer! In the dark night, this woman was dressed in red and was very eye-catching, so the eyes of the four of us fell on her invariably, she was slender, she looked pretty, she looked like she was in her early twenties, she was holding a red hijab in her hand, she was covered with dust, and her face was full of tears, it was this woman's daughter!

The woman finally saw her daughter come back safely, and even if she greeted her, she couldn't stop crying, and the four big men next to her seemed to be the family who sent their relatives, and they shouted to his second sister-in-law to stop crying, if they didn't run fast this time, their master didn't plan to let them come back!

Seeing their women in such a situation, the soft-hearted old monk couldn't help chanting the Buddha's name again, and even the grandfather's face was softened, I looked at the third uncle helplessly, but saw that the third uncle had been calm as usual, just a little eager, and seemed to be still thinking about asking for an ox cart quickly!

And after the woman finally regained her composure, she led a few people over, and after a brief introduction, led us to the courtyard! The third uncle hugged the grandfather, and the old monk followed closely, the woman shouted twice towards the courtyard, and suddenly there were people from the family who came out to greet me, I still couldn't hide the doubts in my heart when I saw this, and I was not in a hurry to go in, the woman turned around and saw me, and then walked over and asked, "Young man, why don't you enter the courtyard!" Come and have a cup of tea in the yard and take a break! ”

"Hmm!" I nodded and asked, "Auntie, I don't know where your cow is?" ”

"Cow!? It's in the back! Don't worry, young man, even if you can't solve the disaster for my daughter, I want you to use this ox cart for this kindness! ”

"Really? Auntie is so generous! A cow is worth a lot of money! ”

"Look at what you kid said, what kind of money is not money, this world can't just recognize money, it's all external things, isn't it? Let's get inside! ”

The woman pulled me towards the courtyard with enthusiasm on her face, and I didn't shirk it anymore, but sneered in my heart: "Outside the body!? Hum! How can a widow see so openly! ”

In the countryside, the value of a cow is needless to say, and ordinary people build cowsheds next to each other and sleep with them at night. Tethered to the back of the house! It's simply impossible! This woman is eccentric!

I whispered in my heart, but I didn't say anything, although I was suspicious in my heart, just like my grandfather and the old monk, I also didn't see what was wrong with this woman! I followed her to the courtyard, and I saw a table in the middle of the courtyard, covered with yellow tablecloths, yellow paper, incense burners, and copper bells, three incense sticks were emitting green smoke, and there were more than a dozen lanterns hanging around the courtyard, and seven or eight people of the family were sitting on the wooden benches on both sides of the courtyard with solemn expressions!

It seems that just as the woman had said, waiting for her daughter to come back!

And the grandfather, the old monk and the third uncle in the hall have already sat down, this woman is very enthusiastic, even if she pours hot tea for the three of them, a strange smell of tea is in the nose!

"I won't drink the tea! Let's take a look at the layout of this house first! If the problem is not in the Yang House, I'm afraid it will be in the Yin House! Big sister, didn't you say you hired a warlock? Why don't you let him come out and have a look! ”

When the woman heard this, she was about to speak, when suddenly a sword groan:

"Warehouse!"

"The problem is not in the yin house, nor in the yang house! It's on this little baby's own body! This fellow Daoist, I don't know if you can agree with Poor Dao's view? ”

I followed the sound and saw that it was a middle-aged man in a yellow robe with a sword, he was thin, he looked to be fifty or sixty years old, with two long mustaches, a long sword in his hand, and an awkward sword stride into the house!

Grandpa and the old monk got up instantly, and under looking at each other, grandpa said: "Don't hide the words of Daoyou, when I just came, I didn't see anything special about this house, but the yin qi was a little heavier, and I think it should be led by the altar laid by Daoyou!" Look at the Taoist friend's dress, but he is a person in Maoshan Mountain? ”

"Hehehe! Yes and no! The poor road is its own vein, and I don't know what to call this method! Why don't you ask Taoist friends to take a look! ”

In other words, this thin Taoist priest actually played the sword without saying anything, but the action was really lame, and it was not in the road at all, but as he said, it was really self-contained! Seeing this, Grandpa was embarrassed to interrupt, so he could only retreat, but this Dao man kept approaching with a sword, and until there was no way to retreat, he stopped and asked, "Daoyou, do you think my sword is good?" ”

Grandpa nodded, and the man actually said to himself: "Good sword!" Good sword! ”

He stood with his sword in his hand, looked at the woman again, and said with a fierce expression: "Master, since the poor Dao said that there is still a solution, I don't know what it means to invite these four back!" ”

"Oh, what that... They were all on their way, just to rest! The woman also seemed to be a little afraid of this person's 'madness', and didn't dare to say it directly, but the Taoist snorted coldly: "Hmph! Hurry! They are all fellow believers, how can they hide it from me! Since I'm here, I really want to ask, how many people have a solution to this girl's bad luck? ”

The woman wanted to explain, but the grandfather stopped her and said, "There is no solution!" I don't know what friends say? ”

"Humph! Then let me open your eyes today! Open the altar! The Taoist shouted, walked straight to the courtyard, and said: "This girl's fate has been decided, and she is destined to be a lonely and widowed person!" Don't be happy! So several marriages have failed! But this fortune is not incomprehensible, and the way to solve this fortune is just as determined by her fate - marriage! ”

"Oh? Fellow Daoist, you yourself said that this girl can't be happy, how can you get married? The old monk couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this! When the Taoist saw this, he chuckled even more. He said coldly: "What if it is a mourning joy? ”

"Mourning!?" Grandpa looked stunned: "Get married!?" ”

The so-called mourning joy is a dark marriage! To put it simply, it is to find a dead man to marry, so that the living and the dead are married, it is not happy, and it is not mourning! But he really worshiped the church and became a parent, but he could break this luck!

Ghost marriages are not uncommon among the people, and most of them borrow some people who have just died, and ask for a ghost marriage with a lot of money! Just because of the art of underworld marriage, it can relieve the fortune of the living, but it will bring disaster to the family of the dead, so if it is not for heavy money, you can't buy the body used in the underworld marriage! Some people with weak family backgrounds will even go to the cemetery to secretly dig up the dead who have just been buried!

In the amazement of the grandfather, this person had already come to the altar in the courtyard, and after muttering a few words, the people in the courtyard actually moved out a few tables, and then directly put the meal that had already been prepared!

"Welcome to the new!"

He shouted softly, and the girl came to the hall with a red hijab, and when she stood still, a shirtless man approached with a wooden plate, covered with a red cloth! It seems to be the so-called newcomer! My eyes couldn't help but be attracted by this red cloth, and I wondered what this man had invited the bridegroom! At this moment, the man stopped, walked up to me, and said, "If it is mourning, then there should be rules for mourning!" This girl is in her youth, and she should naturally be a young man with strong blood, and she has seen it all over the yard, young man, you are just right! Please be a groomsman and complete the marriage for the newlyweds! How is it? ”

I hurriedly shook my head, and my grandfather got up and said, "My grandson is not suitable!" But since it is to save people, it is better to let my son replace him! ”

I was still angry and had just recovered, so I naturally didn't want to be involved in such a right and wrong, but my grandfather said it, but the third uncle didn't move, and the woman also came directly to me, and pulled me up without saying anything, and said that I had the right to help, and their family climbed high!
