Chapter 639: True and False Brides
The night was dark, and it was raining, and even the torches could not be lit.
Huang Yingying is the bride, so she naturally stayed in the coffin, and no one could let her come down to dig the soil, and the others had to admit that they were unlucky, and under the pouring rain, they squinted and barely looked at the place in front of them, and began to dig a pit.
They dug very anxiously and carefully, for fear that in such a place where the line of sight is too poor, something will happen if they are not careful.
Si Hu's ability is different from ordinary people, in the dark, his eyesight is much better than that of ordinary people, and the eyesight of several other martial arts people is also okay, only Ye Caitang is like a blind eye.
As for the old man, this kind of weather didn't let him go out, although the old man's body looks okay, but the reaction ability is worse after all, in case he falls, breaks his arm and legs, it is very difficult to recover.
The crowd began to dig the pit, and Si Hu quietly came out of the bushes, he was wearing two clothes, the outer one was a regular one, and the inside was a wedding dress.
This wedding dress is a reference to the one Huang Yingying is wearing now, which is easy to steal, no, no, no, it's easy to borrow.
I didn't expect the weather to be so powerful.
Si Hu quietly approached the sedan chair in the dark, then opened the door and walked in.
Huang Yingying looked left and right inside, and suddenly saw a person break in, startled, but then the person spoke: "Don't be afraid, I'm here to change you." β
Huang Yingying immediately relaxed.
Huang Yingying also asked in a low voice, "Where will I go after I go out?" β
But Sihu said, "Don't move, just sit here." β
Huang Yingying was very strange, she thought she was running away from marriage, and she should have run for her life after getting off the sedan chair, and kept running out of everyone's sight.
Si Hu explained: "It's not easy for you to walk when it's dark outside, and when they come to lead you and me down, no one will think that there is another person in the sedan chair." β
"When it's time to be buried, you get off the sedan chair. Keep walking to the left-hand side, go to the front of the woods, find a place to hide, now the lights are blind, no one can see you."
Huang Yingying really picked up a life today, and she should do whatever Si Hu says.
After a while, the pit large enough to hold a coffin was finally dug out.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, first put the coffin in, and then sighed, and someone shouted: "The bride should get off the sedan chair." ββ
The habit of Changshui Mountain, this kind of happy event, is not done by the people of the village, the villagers, look down and don't look up, can't bear it.
Of course, people from other villages, as long as they are a little human, can't bear it, but there is no way, they are always better than their neighbors.
Huang Yingying gave the red hijab to Si Hu, and Si Hu covered it.
He is also small, and at first glance he is not very different from Huang Yingying.
And Yuda's eyes couldn't be opened, who would have thought that the bride would be transferred.
It was pouring rain outside, and there was no light at all, and even the first glance was not given to them.
Niu Zhiyi came over very consciously and voluntarily, he reached out and opened the door of the sedan chair, and said in a low voice: "The bride come down." β
Then Si Hu handed his hand to Niu Zhiyi, as soon as Niu Zhiyi held the bride's hand, he was relieved, it was really not Huang Yingying, Huang Yingying's hand was much more tender than this.
He held back his excitement, helped Si Hu out of the sedan chair, and walked to the grave step by step.
Everyone was very unbearable, but no one could do anything about this, everyone watched the bride slowly walk into the coffin and lie down.
The bride had a red hijab on her head, and she couldn't see her face, and now it was dark, and she could only see a little bit of the surrounding scene, and there was nothing to doubt.
Everyone was drenched and couldn't stand it, and someone shouted, don't miss the auspicious time, hurry up and seal the coffin.
The others responded, and soon the lid of the coffin was closed, and the earth began to fill it.
These people who came here are familiar with this thing, and they are used to doing it. In a short time, a new grave appeared on the hillside, and the tombstone that had been prepared for a long time was planted on the grave.
The mountain people are not so particular. Just choose a place that no one occupies, flat towards the sun, and then make a coffin and find a tombstone. Those who have money can use stone slabs, and those who don't have money can also use wooden boards, write the names of the deceased, etc., and the funeral is over.
Of course, the planks are not long-lasting, and after a period of wind, sun and rain, they will rot, and the words on them will fade.
But it doesn't matter, if the descendants have the ability, they will naturally repair the ancestral tombs every year, and if the descendants are not capable, the living will have no time to take care of themselves, and they will not have the heart to care about the dead. ΞΠΈΠͺ.ΕΞοΌ§
As the tombstone was erected, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and hurried home.
With such heavy rain, there is still a way to go.
So everyone carried the sedan chair and the tools and hurried away, and they didn't notice that there was one less person who went back than there was anyone who came.
Niu Zhiyi didn't leave, he quietly hid in the forest, and didn't hurry out until everyone was done.
The rain was still falling, and the rain blurred his vision, Niu Zhiyi wiped it on his face and shouted in a low voice: "Yingying, where are you hiding, come out, they are all gone." β
Huang Yingying kept pinching her nose and covering her mouth, not daring to make a sound, hiding behind a small bush, and only then did she stand up and stomp on her already numb legs.
In fact, she was too cautious, and in such a heavy rain, she couldn't hear a little sound at all.
Xia Yue and the others also walked out and hurriedly started digging the soil, but don't suffocate Si Hu really inside.
Fortunately, the soil was freshly covered, and it was still very fluffy, and the coffin was quickly dug up.
Si Hu got out of it, he was fine, it seemed that even if he hadn't done this kind of thing, it was normal for him.
The little couple who had experienced the catastrophe of life and death didn't care about the eyes of others, hugged each other tightly, and Huang Yingying couldn't cry.
Niu Zhiyi comforted her a few words.
Before this matter is investigated, Huang Yingying can't go home.
Even they had said the worst before, after the matter was investigated, Huang Yingying couldn't go home, at most she could only tell her family quietly, and she had to let her family keep it a secret.
She had smuggled away from the scene of the sacrifice. Once it is known to others, if something unpleasant happens in the village in the future, it is inevitable that someone will put the blame on her.
Although she is indeed innocent, the reality is like this, even Xia Yue can't do anything.
When the coffin opened, the rain crackled and fell in, and Ye Caitang leaned next to the coffin.
Then I was depressed, the forensic autopsy, the most basic thing is to be visible, but now in this weather, I can't see it at all. Her vision could only dimly see a human figure lying in the coffin.
"Ugh." Ye Caitang sighed.
Science is underdeveloped, underdeveloped, if in her time, she could still use a flashlight to shine it, but now there are only fire folds and torches, and she is completely blind when she encounters water.
Everyone also found out about this, and they were very helpless, and no one could help.
Fortunately, no one will come to this cemetery for a while, and no one in the village will go out on such a rainy day, so they have to wait in place.
Fortunately, knowing that it would rain, they all brought hats and wore robes when they came out, but in fact, Ye Caitang also felt that he was soaked, and the heavy hats and robes were just a psychological comfort
After waiting for more than half an hour, the rain finally stopped.
