Relationships with assistants are increasingly dangerous

"What are you doing?" He Qing stopped a villager and asked.

"Well, you are getting married. You are foreigners, so you must not know it. This is a custom in our village, which is ghost marriage." The villagers explained with a smile.

"Dark marriage?" He Qing frowned vigilantly and glanced at the coffin.

Just about to ask something more, the old man who brought them here smiled and waved to them from a distance, saying hello.

"Are you back? You came just in time, let's go and eat." The old man enthusiastically pointed to the table on the other side of the banquet.

"I want to ask, is this a ghost marriage?" He Qing raised his finger to the coffin in the yard, "Is this also one of the customs in your village?"

"Yes, yes." The old man nodded with a light smile, "When someone dies in the village, they will be given a yin marriage, otherwise the dead person will feel uncomfortable living alone, so this kind of marriage is held in the village. Joy and mourning are very common."

"Is that so." He Qing was thoughtful.

"Then what is that lamp on the side of the road?" Su Xian raised her chin calmly, indicating that the candles lit on both sides of the road meandered straight from the door of another house to the door of this house.

"It's a soul-inducing lamp. It's prepared for the bride. It ensures that when the bride gets married, her soul can come with the coffin. This lamp connects the roads of the two families, and it also prevents the bride's soul from getting lost." The old man explained. with.

"I have heard of ghost marriage before, but I have seen it in some TV movies, and this is the first time I have seen it on the spot." He Qing muttered softly, scanning the coffin.

Perhaps the people who disappeared in this village will be related to this ghost marriage.

Is this the clue that Su Xian got from that kid?

"Get out of the way, the bride is coming."

There was a shout in the distance, and the crowd who were having a lively meal immediately looked in the direction of the sound.

I saw a group of people walking slowly along the village road at the end of the soul-inducing lamp.

A group of people walking in the front stood on both sides beating gongs and drums, relatives stood in the middle holding the photos of the deceased, and several people in the back worked together to lift a coffin.

The coffin was decorated with red silk and satin, which was particularly eye-catching in the night, and the person who followed behind was holding a bunch of paper things in his hand.The things that were burned for the people below included almost everything, from caravans to furniture, and paper puppet figures of boys and girls who burned down.

Those paper figurines are all skeletons supported by bamboo sticks, supporting a thin layer of paper, on which various faces are drawn, dull eyes and bright red blush are printed on white paper, far away. From a distance, it looks like a pale face with blush on it, illuminated by soul-inducing lamps along the way, very cautious.

Facing the sound of gongs and drums, a group of people stopped at the door, and slowly stood outside with the sound of gongs and drums.

And a group of people carrying the coffin stepped on the steps and carried the coffin into the yard from the crowd that got out of the way, and put this coffin in the yard next to the other coffin.

It happened that the two coffins were arranged neatly together, and there was a table in front of them, with various offerings.

Someone hastily took a piece of red silk and put it on the two coffins. At first glance, this form is really the same as a wedding ceremony.

When the coffin arrived at the courtyard, the sound of gongs and drums outside the door still didn't stop.

The relatives of both parties squatted by the brazier in front of the coffin, crying and burning paper. The heart-piercing cries were rolled in the festive sound of gongs and drums, and the picture was full of eerie.

"How is it? Did you find it strange and cautious when you saw it for the first time?"

"People outside the village have never seen it, so it's normal to find it strange."

"If you don't feel well, stop watching and go over there for dinner." The old man noticed He Qing's complex expression and immediately smiled and asked them to go over there for dinner.

It was the first time to see He Qing, who was married to a ghost, and his mood was really complicated.

"No... I'm fine, it's the first time we've met, and I want to see more." He Qing waved his hand, not wanting to miss it at such a critical moment, in case this ghost marriage is related to the case.

"You're still interested, what two weird girls." The old man laughed.

"Hey, old man Xia, come and help me, I'm busy here."

Someone yelled in the distance, and the old man immediately turned his head and waved his hands, "Okay, okay, I'll be here soon."

"The two girls just watch slowly. I'm busy. You can go back to rest after dinner."

"Okay." Su Xian nodded with a smile.

After the old man left, the two stood silently in the crowd and continued to watch the ghost marriage ceremony.

When the relatives were almost crying, the sound of gongs and drums outside gradually stopped, and the people in the yard were busy walking around. After a while, someone came to the yard with a rooster in their arms.

He Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, and noticed the rooster, whose wings and feet were trapped to prevent it from wandering around.

The rooster was put on the coffin, and then someone poured two bowls of rice wine, took out two pieces of yellow paper with unknown meanings, and waved to the crowd.

Then, a little boy and a little girl came out from the relatives of both sides. They knelt in front of the coffin, kowtowed several times, took two little grass figurines made of paper, wrapped them in yellow paper, and threw them into the brazier. .

The little straw man disappeared instantly in the dancing flames. After the burning was over, the child got up and left.

A person came out slowly from the corner, went up and lit incense, and rang the bell in front of the coffin while chanting some mantra, walking back and forth several times.

Everyone in the courtyard had tense faces, not daring to take a breath.

After staring closely at the man and finished chanting, he threw the small paper objects into the brazier and burned them, leaving the large ones aside.

The light in the brazier illuminated the entire courtyard, and at the same time reflected everyone's tense expressions.

He Qing quietly watched and observed these villagers, all of them seemed to be very nervous, for fear that something might go wrong with this ceremony.

Finally, after everything in the brazier was burned clean, everyone in the yard relaxed, and the people whose faces were tense before gradually showed relaxed smiles.

He Qing glanced at them suspiciously.

It seems that the people in the village are extra cautious about ghost marriages, as if they are worried about some accidents.

The atmosphere at the scene had just calmed down, and someone came forward with a knife, as if wanting to do something to the rooster.

Just as he walked to the brazier, suddenly, the rooster that had been placed on the coffin let out a crowing sound, moved its body vigorously and rolled down from the coffin, scaring the people in front of the brazier to panic, and hooked their feet on the brazier, overwhelming The sparks scattered out, frightening the people in the whole yard.

Everyone grabbed the thumping rooster in a panic, and put the brazier back to prevent anything from being ignited.

The whole yard was in chaos.

The rooster frowned, and rolled on the ground while making loud noises. It struggled to move its body around, and when it reached Su Xian's side, it became quiet.

The atmosphere in the yard suddenly froze, and everyone's eyes fell on Su Xian where the rooster was parked. The sights cast from all directions and the sudden silence, and the faces reflecting the firelight made the yard Something creepy.

He Qing frowned, and embraced Su Xian behind her, blocking those strange sights.

"No, I'm sorry." A voice sounded from the corner, passing through the crowd with a smile.

The frozen atmosphere was broken by this voice, and immediately, the villagers put on harmless smiles.

"Hey, why didn't you tie the cock up? I told you to tie it up. Look, isn't something wrong?"

"Look at scaring other girls."

"Girl, are you okay?"

The person who came to catch the rooster asked with a smile while bending down to grab the cock.

Before the hand touched the rooster, the rooster immediately flopped and fluttered, not letting the man touch it at all, and threw itself straight at Su Xian.

Amidst the crowd's bewildered screams, Su Xian calmly raised her foot and stepped on the rooster on the ground, instantly calming the rooster.

The people around were stunned, the air was stiff, and everyone looked at each other.

When the person catching the chicken hurriedly bent down to catch it again, the rooster thrashed vigorously under Su Xian's feet again, but no matter how much it thrashed, Su Xian still stomped on it firmly under her feet.

"What is this cock going to do?" Su Xian asked calmly.

"Eh..." The man held the knife in his hand hesitantly, "cut the neck, and then let the blood into the bowl."

Su Xian raised her eyes and glanced at the small table in front of the coffin. It seemed that there was indeed an empty bowl, so she stretched out her hand.

"Give me the knife."

The man hesitated, "You come? Can you be a little girl? If you don't control it well, blood will spurt out all at once, and it will be everywhere."

"It's just killing a chicken." Su Xian reached out and took the knife in the man's hand, bent down and picked up the rooster on the ground.

In the eyes of everyone, he calmly walked to the coffin, held the chicken's neck, raised his hand and raised the knife, cut the chicken's neck neatly, put the chicken blood into a bowl, and the people around were stunned I was taken aback.

"Thinking, I never thought that you, a little girl from the city, can do everything. Usually, only country girls can kill chickens. It's pretty amazing." The man smiled mischievously, and took the dying chicken from Su Xian's hand. , "But it's not suitable for a young unmarried girl to stay in this kind of place for a long time, so hurry up and eat."

"I see." Su Xian nodded and clapped her hands.

It was only then that the people around noticed that there was not a single drop of blood on her slender fingers.

"Let's go, let's go eat." Su Xian called He Qing, and walked over the crowd to the outside of the courtyard.

The crowd watching at the door froze for several seconds before returning to their smiles. The atmosphere in the yard was lively, as if nothing had happened just now.

He Qing walked out behind Su Xian, thinking about what happened just now, his scalp tingles.

He looked back at the coffin in the yard illuminated by the fire, and the dead rooster.

What the hell was that just now?

"There's nothing wrong with the girl I found for you. If you want to see a difficult one, just let it go."

A sound suddenly floated in the yard, which was caught by He Qing, and she turned her head abruptly.

But she couldn't find the source of the sound. The noisy sound in the yard made her unable to distinguish whether she really heard that sentence or heard it wrong.

He Qing frowned, fully alert to the village.
