Chapter 1: The Bizarre Marriage Book
A few days ago, I received a wedding letter from my home, asking me to go back next week to get married.
When I first saw this marriage book, I felt a little outrageous, although I have been single for many years, but my parents were in a hurry and helped me get married.
I called home in a hurry, but who would have thought that the phone was in a state of no answer, and I wondered if I had to force me to go back.
Fortunately, I was a part-time handyman in the county town to help others, so it was easy to ask for leave, and I took the car back to my hometown at noon.
The road to my hometown is estimated to be more beautiful after autumn, and the maple leaves on both sides are as red as fire, but unfortunately I am not in the mood to appreciate it.
Hurriedly returning home, I knocked on the door, my mother opened the door and found that it was me, very excited, and quickly asked me if I had a vacation, why did I come home?
I froze for a moment, "Didn't you ask me to come back?" ”
My mom was very confused, and my dad probably came out when he heard the sound, and when he saw me at the door, he let me in and talk again.
When I entered the back room, my parents shook their heads like a pendulum, and they said that they didn't send any marriage letters, and that they wanted me to get married or something.
I was stupid, so I hurriedly took out the marriage certificate, and my father took it and looked at it, he hurriedly shook his head, "We didn't send you this thing." ”
I'm at a loss, could it be that I've been tricked? Who is this who is full and has nothing to do with me?
But I thought about it, no, I have read the marriage book, and my name is indeed written in it, "Chen Xinghe, male, on the sixth day of October in the first year of the ninth year." ”
I've known this birthday since I was a child, not a word is wrong, if it's a prank, who can make this thing?
As soon as I explained this, my father also looked at it, and after he looked at it a few more times, his face changed, "This woman ......"
Woman? I'm a little dazed, I took a look at it before, it seems to be called Shen Xinyi, and the line of the eight characters on my birthday seems to have been wiped by water when I sent it, and the ink was spent there last year, and I only saw the 14th of July in the back.
Mom was also attracted by Dad's expression, and looked at the marriage book in a hurry, and at this moment, the two of them seemed to have become wooden people.
"Mom and Dad, what's wrong with you?"
"Shen Xinyi ......"
Tremblingly pronounced this name, as if with some kind of taboo, and then in my mother's mouth, I learned that this Shen Xinyi was from our village, but she had been dead for many years.
Her family hanged themselves, and no one knows the exact reason, but this incident caused a lot of trouble in our village, and my parents were naturally impressed by the name.
"Who sent this?" My dad looked at me, and I shook my head, because the other party who sent it was from my hometown.
"Kid dad, could this be that?"
"How is this possible?" My dad kept shaking his head, but what happened next had to make us tremble, because at this moment, there was a knock on the door of my house, and someone shouted at the door, "Uncle, the marriage certificate has been issued, remember to come to the door." ”
We were all shocked, my dad was busy opening the door, looking out, there was no figure, but there was an inexplicable paper person next to the door.
There was a big red piece of paper hanging in the hand of the paper piercing man, which frightened us, knowing that there was not a tree in front of my house, and it was impossible for people to hide, and the sound just now was probably made by the ghost thing in front of me.
"Kid dad, what should I do? The girl's family died in an unknown way, which may mean that our son will be dragged to the back......"
My mother was so anxious that she was about to cry, and my father said, "Don't worry, don't worry, I have a way, today I will take Xinghe to find Uncle Zhuang." ”
Uncle Zhuang is a famous Mr. Yin and Yang in our ten towns and eight miles, and he usually handles people's funerals, and I don't know how, when I was a child, I looked at his face, and I felt a little scared.
My dad said now that he was going to find Uncle Zhuang, and I was naturally not very happy, but my dad ignored 3721 and dragged me away.
Uncle Zhuang lived in a dilapidated house in the southeast of the village, and my father and I knocked cautiously on the door, and soon Uncle Zhuang opened the door for us.
He was still as sharp as he had been then, and when he saw us coming in, he asked us what we were doing here.
As soon as my dad talked about the situation, Uncle Zhuang hurriedly ran over, "Ninety-one year is the last year of Xin, the lunar year, October is the lunar month, the sixth day of the first month is the lunar day, and the time is the lunar time, this seems to be your fate!" ”
"What then? Uncle Zhuang. My dad hurriedly looked at him, Uncle Zhuang hesitated and said: "It's not that there is no way to crack it, in this way, you go and prepare incense, candles, yellow paper and the like, I will take Xiaohe up the mountain tonight to ask the attitude, if she is willing to let go, everything is easy to do, if she refuses to let go, let's do something else." ”
"Then it's troublesome for the master."
"Out of the way!"
Then our family prepared Xiangbao candles and so on, and in the evening, Uncle Zhuang arrived at our house early, "Are you ready?" ”
We all said okay, so Uncle Zhuang took me up the mountain, the mountain path is relatively narrow, seeing that halfway up the mountain, Uncle Zhuang panted and said to me: "Xiaohe, the location of Shen Xinyi's grave is there, you can see it now when you walk about thirty-four steps from here, kneel three times and knock nine times on the grave, and then write your name in front of the grave on this red piece of paper she gave you."
There is also the handprint here, this is to dissolve the marriage book, if the three incense sticks and candles are nothing unusual, take the red paper and run, if there is something unusual, burn the red paper, run immediately, don't look back to know? ”
Listening to Uncle Zhuang's instructions, I hurriedly nodded, but I was really not sure if there would be a grave in the past.
Fortunately, when I had walked more than thirty steps, I noticed a small dirt bag in front of me, hidden in the waist-high grass.
This should be the tomb of Shen Xinyi that Uncle Zhuang said, but the strange thing is that there is no tombstone in this tomb?
But think about it, my parents said that their family hanged themselves at that time, and there may be no one to deal with the aftermath, so it was hastily closed, right?
Thinking of this, I was relieved to light the Xiangbao candle according to Uncle Zhuang's instructions, and then I began to write my name on the red paper, and I don't know why, just when I was halfway through writing, I suddenly heard a soft laugh.
Yes, it was laughter, from the grave, but there was only a mound of earth and grass in front of me, and although I knew something was wrong, I didn't dare to run, and when I finished writing my name, there was nothing unusual at first, but just when I thought everything was going well, something strange happened.
I looked at the pillars of incense on it, and suddenly all of them broke off at the waist.
