Chapter 61: Bluestone Town (17)
Jiang Qi and the three of them crossed the threshold one after another.
Flowers made of red cloth came into view, and red characters were pasted everywhere, and the guests in the courtyard were smiling.
But standing here, I don't feel the slightest festive atmosphere, just the constant surging cold air.
"Sitting, please."
The maid who guided them to their seats smiled like a copy and paste from the little maid at the door.
Jiang Qi sat down and looked at the dishes placed at the wedding banquet, there were some of them, but they were very fake, he couldn't smell the smell of food, and he was dead.
In the dark banquet, the 'people' on the table pushed glasses and exchanged glasses, chatted happily, and said words they couldn't understand, as if they couldn't see a few outsiders.
"What a match made in heavenβ"
I understand this sentence, Jiang Qixin said, it is a strange tone, not like something in the yang world.
The 'person' who had just spoken suddenly looked at him, his smile did not change, and the expression on his face gradually changed from happy to cold.
Jiang Qi turned his head and found that Fang Yuan and Wang Yue, who were originally sitting next to him, were gone, replaced by two strangers.
But these two people, their facial features are a bit like Fang Yuan and Wang Yue, and they can't be said to be weird.
They talked and laughed, picked up chopsticks and ate, and poured wine into their cups.
In Jiang Qi's eyes, she couldn't hear a word of what the two of them said, and those cold tones were not human sounds at all.
The moment the person who looked like Fang Yuan turned his head to look at her, his face suddenly turned into a paper figure in the blurry dark red light, and from the mouth to the root of the ear, the unusually fat brown tongue stretched out, and the rotten liquid dripped down.
In the next second, he became a real person again.
The timid can really be scared to death when they see it.
She's tied up with paper, isn't she? Jiang Qi turned over and pretended not to see it.
There are many tables in this mansion to entertain guests, Fang Yuan and Wang Yue must be somewhere in the mansion, when did these two ghost things next to them replace them?
When she sat down, she was normal, and she didn't notice any unusual movements.
The guests at the table took the chopsticks to pick up the dishes very slowly, and the expressions on their faces gradually became wrong, and finally everyone calmed down.
With dead eyes, he looked at her with resentment and greed, and his brown tongue stained with rancid liquid showed out from time to time and licked his lips.
ββ
Fang Yuan sat on the stool, looking at these smiling guests, cold sweat seeping out of his back.
Just wanted to say something to Jiang Qi next to him, but the scene he saw when he turned his head was so frightened that his legs shook reflexively and he almost fell off the stool.
What the hell is this!
Where's his sister?!
Obviously, they were seated together, sitting next to them, how did they suddenly become a 'person' wearing Sister Qi's clothes, with half of their scalp rotten, revealing the rotten tissue inside.
From his height, he could see the missing half of his skull very clearly, and it seemed that there was something moving inside.
Fang Yuan turned to the other side calmly, and it was Wang Yue, who was also looking at that 'Jiang Qi' with an indescribable expression.
Although this Wang Yue still looks like a person, who knows if it's a human being.
He didn't dare to talk to Wang Yue at all, it was terrifying enough to sit at the wedding banquet with a table of ghosts in the middle of the night, and I don't know when the companions on the side were replaced by ghosts.
The strange woman wearing Jiang Qi's clothes next to her didn't move, her neck moved, her lips were chapped to exaggerated lips, one by one, and she said words without ups and downs, "What's wrong with you?" β
"......" Fang Yuan shook his head in horror.
This ghost sister is so terrifying, the angle of turning her neck is not at all human can do, as soon as it gets closer, the smell of dead people comes to her face.
He had smelled this smell on Old Man Xie's corpse before, and he remembered it vividly.
The dishes on the table have also changed, from looking edible and appetizing, to rotting and blackening, with wriggling bugs on them.
The woman in Jiang Qi's clothes didn't go back to her neck, so she just grabbed a dish with chopsticks that she didn't know what it was, connected the maggots on it, and ate it in front of Fang Yuan.
The black liquid in its mouth and the clear chewing sound made Fang Yuan's stomach churn, a disgusting and terrifying scene.
"Why don't you eat it, don't you like the food here?"
It seemed to be trying its best to imitate Jiang Qi's voice, and deliberately changed a few more tones, which made it sound even more terrifying.
Fang Yuan's scalp is blown up, how to answer this question?
said that he liked it, this ghost sister who was missing a piece of braincase and this table seemed to be eating, but he was actually staring at his guests, and he was not allowed to break his mouth and stuff it in.
If they say they don't want to eat it, they will definitely turn their faces.
Fang Yuan looked at Wang Yue, what it said just now was 'you', and Wang Yue didn't move his chopsticks, so he should be a living person.
Wang Yue looked back at him with an expression of "brother, I don't dare to eat this thing".
"You eat."
The 'man' next to him gently pinched a piece of black carrion-like flesh for him, and looked at him expectantly with half-out eyes.
Fang Yuan was really about to kneel, and he heard the sound of his reason declining.
Can you not use this appearance to learn from Jiang Qi, Jiang Qi will definitely not look like this ghost!
"No, you can't." I don't know who replied with a smile in his ear.
The cold sweat behind Fang Yuan's back soaked through his clothes, and as soon as the yin wind passed, it was so cold that his heartbeat almost stopped.
He had to find a way, his mind turned quickly, trying his best to keep his voice steady, "Isn't it a wedding feast?" Why didn't you see the newcomer's chapel? The bridegroom did not come out to make a toast. β
Fang Yuan looked at the woman next to him and his whole body was tense, and his eyes didn't dare to move.
"Don't worry, it's coming-"
The woman next to her said with a sneer, finally let him go, and ate by herself.
Not far away, there was a long red cloth spread outside the hall, and the characters in front of it were particularly bright, but the light inside was unusually dark, and the red seemed to be dyed red with blood.
"Guest, please come in and watch the ceremony."
The two maids who suddenly appeared behind Jiang Qi grinned at her, their pale faces and expressions were extremely stiff.
If you want to go, you have to go, if you don't want to go, you have to go, this is someone else's territory, and she can't refuse.
The two paper figures who looked like Fang Yuan and Wang Yue all stood up and wanted to go with her.
Jiang Qi was sandwiched between the four of them and followed him to the backyard.
In front of me was an antique but old room, small and tight, the invisible coldness was constantly spilling outward, the big red curtains were windless, and the shadows inside were clear.
In the extremely dim light, a woman in a bright red wedding dress and three-inch golden lotus embroidered shoes sat on a chair, her head hanging weakly to the side, her hands folded motionlessly in front of her.
In this way, she quietly allowed people to wear the gorgeous phoenix crown, and the crisp sound of the curtain hitting it echoed faintly.
Two pale-faced and blank-eyed servants lifted the poles at both ends of the chair one after the other, and a woman with a pale face and an unusually red face was followed by her.
They slowly came out of the curtains......
