marry a ghost

Chapter 4 Forced Marriage

What happened later was a nightmare that Wei Ning would never recall in his life.

In short, Wei Xi died, right in front of his eyes, under that wooden bridge, in the spring flood water.And Wei Ning, who was so frightened, just stood there blankly, watching Wei Xi float up and down in the rushing stream, until he suddenly woke up and jumped into the water while shouting "Save me", It's too late.

Wei Xi's body was found outside the valley.

Wei Xi, who was pale, thin, and breathless, was lying on the ground dripping with water, her eyes closed gently, as if she had fallen asleep.

Wei Xi's mother rushed forward like crazy, with an extremely ferocious expression, Wei Ning was so frightened that he took a step back, and swallowed back the truth that he was about to say—if Wei Xi's mother knew that he was the one who took Wei If Xi took him out, he would definitely have to pay for Wei Xi's life. Wei Ning was overwhelmed by fear, he turned around and withdrew from the crowd.

To this day, Wei Ning is still tormented by guilt and regret.As soon as he closed his eyes, that pale, bright face would appear in front of him.Those deep eyes stared at him all the time, as if they were expressing their unrepentant death, hating Wei Ning's weakness and cowardice.

The water in the stream is crystal clear, with swimming fish passing by and the aquatic plants swaying by the water, creating a peaceful scene.

Who would have thought that so many tragedies have happened here?This creek has swallowed up many children in Weizhuang. Basically, every few years, a child will drown in this creek.Even if the parents in Weizhuang repeatedly reminded their children not to play by the stream or learn to swim, if they violated it, even the parents who dote on their children would pick up bamboo sticks and slap them. , but how can a child who is self-willed and fearless because of his young age obey his parents' earnest wishes?

This creek, like a poisonous poison exuding a sweet smell, attracted those children.

The old man said that there are water ghosts in the water, and they are waiting on the shore for those who find the door for the dead ghosts, and those who are harmed by them, if they are children who died when they were underage, the resentment will be even heavier. In the end, there is no way to go to this waterside, as long as you get in the water, you will be dragged down by the water ghosts-like this kind of country talk, although it sounds scary when you hear it, and you even secretly make up your mind that you will absolutely It is far away from the stream, but on the second day, when the sun came out at dawn, everything was illuminated, dispelling the haze and horror of the night, everything around was full of vigor and vitality, and the stories heard at night gradually Forget it.

What's more, by the stream, the aunts and aunts who wash clothes in groups of three or four are talking and laughing loudly, which is more than enough to illustrate the absurdity of those stories.

Wei Ning stayed by the stream for a long time, until his feet were numb, and finally planned to leave.

At this time, twilight was everywhere, and the hazy mist pushed inward like clouds, until it spread to the entire valley.Wei Ning saw a dim light on the other side, and that direction was where Wei Qiye's family lived.Just as Wei Ning was about to turn around, he saw a person—it must be a person—a figure looming in the mist, walking towards him—maybe he was walking, but it looked like a person in the mist. It's the same as what he said - Wei Ning somehow felt that this "person" looked a little familiar, he couldn't help but stop, maybe this person is going home too, so let him wait for a ride.

With this in mind, Wei Ning stood by the bridge.

But the strange thing is that the "person" seems to have been walking in the direction of Wei Ning, and it seems to be getting closer, but Wei Ning waited and waited, and the "person" still didn't come over, and was still in the direction of Wei Ning. Walking slowly in the mist.Wei Ning ran out of patience, and he was about to yell loudly, asking that "person" to go faster, at this moment, Wei Ning heard someone calling his name behind him, he turned his head and answered, "The person is here. "

It was his mother who came to look for Wei Ning.

Wei Ning replied, and when he turned his head again, the "person" disappeared, and there was only billowing white mist in front of his eyes, and that vague figure seemed to be swallowed up by the surrounding white mist without a trace.Maybe he left, Wei Ning thought to himself, at this time, another hunched figure came out of the mist, walking very fast, almost when Wei Ning's mother reached the bridge, he also reached the other side of the bridge at the same time.

Wei Ning's mother raised her voice, "Qi Ye, come out for a walk sooner or later."

This is Qiye?Wei Ning's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it. The Qi Ye in his memory was a healthy old man with a straight back and walking like the wind. The man in front of him was hunched over, coughing while walking, and his white hair covered most of it. The old man with a face is that Seventh Master?

Wei Qiye clenched his skinny hands into fists, gagged his mouth, and coughed. The violent cough made his whole body tremble. For a moment, Wei Ning thought that his not-so-sturdy body would just crumble like this. Wei Qiye coughed a few times, and said in a rough voice like pulling a bellows, "Sixth nephew, have you talked to Wei Ning about that?"

Wei Ning's mother laughed awkwardly, "Not yet, I just came back, and there was another car accident, so I didn't have time."

Wei Qiye took a deep breath like a convulsion, "Hurry up, we will talk about it sooner or later, we can rest assured that the matter will be finished sooner, and the child will be on the road sooner."

Wei Ning didn't understand what they were talking about. He only knew that what they said was related to him, but he was still kept in the dark about what it was.

Wei Ning's mother agreed loudly, while pulling Wei Ning back.

In a hurry, Wei Ning only had time to say hello to Wei Qiye.Mother Wei hurriedly walked, and as soon as she got home, she closed the two wooden doors and bolted them. Wei Ning saw some strange things in the main room of her house. There were four loads of boxes tied with red silk and satin. There were two gold-lacquered trays on the table, one was filled with clothes, made of cotton, linen, silk and satin, and the other was filled with some precious gold and silver jewelry, bracelets, rings and hairpins, in different colors.

Wei Ning's heart skipped a beat, and he said to Wei's mother dumbfounded, "I said, Mom, your son doesn't even know where his girlfriend is, so you've already prepared the bride price?"

Mother Wei didn't even look at him, she went straight to the table and sat down, "Sit down first, I have something to tell you."

That's what I said, but after Wei Ning sat down, Wei's mother just sat there and didn't speak. After waiting for a while, Wei Ning asked softly, "Mom, what's the matter?"

Mother Wei brushed the hair around her ears, "Have you seen all these betrothal gifts?"

It's obvious, Wei Ning nodded, waiting for the fuck to say.

Mother Wei coughed uncomfortably, cleared her throat, "This is—this is from your third aunt Wei—"

"Third Aunt Wei?" Wei Ning hasn't come back for a long time, and he can't remember the complicated relationship between Wei Zhuang and Wei Zhuang. An idea flashed in Ning's mind, and his heart skipped a beat, "You, you mean, that Aunt Wei?" Mother Wei nodded emphatically.

There is only one Aunt Wei in Wei Zhuang, and everyone knows her. She is a crazy widow, and she is also Wei Xi's mother.

"Her, why did she bring these things here?" Wei Ning pointed at the betrothal gifts and stammered.

Wei's mother sighed, "I can't help it, I begged to come to the door, and you are the only one who fits together. I also said that you are a man, but Wei Qiye said, this matter does not ask men and women, only ask There are hundreds of people in Weizhuang, and only you and Wei Xi's horoscopes match. It is the harmony of yin and yang, and the beauty of heaven. As you know, Third Aunt Wei has always wanted to propose a yin marriage to Wei Xi, so that He can be more lively down here, don't be lonely, know the hexagram, and kneel in front of me for a day and a night, I, I can't help it, I didn't want to agree at first, but, alas, the seventh master also said , this matter is predestined by the heavens, it is best not to stop it, if you stop it, you will lose your life and suffer retribution."

With such a bunch of miscellaneous words, Wei Ning only heard one meaning, he stretched out his hand to stop his mother from continuing to babble, "I said, Mom, you mean that you want me to be Wei Xi's yin marriage partner?"

Wei's mother also looked a little uncomfortable, "That's what I mean, I'm not discussing it with you."

Wei Ning suddenly felt that the bright lights in the room dimmed a lot.

With mixed feelings in his heart, he opened his mouth, wanting to categorically refuse but couldn't. The deep-rooted guilt in his heart forced him to nod and agree, but at the same time, he felt that this was really absurd.

In a dilemma, there was a knock on the door of Wei Ning's house.

"Du-duk-duk--" The dull, rhythmic knock on the door gave Wei Ning the illusion that his eardrums were being knocked. When he opened the door, he saw a middle-aged woman who still had a charm standing there. At the gate, when I saw Wei Ning, my originally loose eyes instantly focused on Wei Ning, looking up and down, left and right, like X-rays, wishing to take a picture of Wei Ning as if he was skinned and boned. bright.

Wei Ning was horrified by her.

The middle-aged woman looked at it for a while, then finally withdrew her gaze, looked at Wei Ning with a smile, and nodded with satisfaction.This smile is actually full of an indescribable style, but this style is full of madness, which makes people dare not look at it more.

"Sister-in-law Six, I'm here." The middle-aged woman called into the room.

"Hey, hey, his aunt, come in and sit down, come in and sit down." Mother Wei also came out.

Dare to love, this is Aunt Wei who I haven't seen in almost ten years. She looks quite normal, not crazy at all, but the look in her eyes just now looks like a mother-in-law looking at her future daughter-in-law. This thought made Wei Ning feel uncomfortable hot sweat.

Aunt Wei looked at Wei Ning, "Ah Ning, just tell me what you want, as long as I can do it, I will do it well."

The implication is that there is nothing to do without him, and everything is a foregone conclusion?Wei Ning was a little confused, and he hadn't turned the corner yet. For so many years, he had been feeling guilty, so he could only secretly send some money to Aunt Wei San. If possible, he was willing to replace Wei Xi and be Wei San Aunt's son, respecting her, caring for her until the end of her life, but this does not mean that he can accept his inexplicable marriage with someone.

Just imagining that scene made Wei Xi shudder.

Therefore, Wei Ning decided to talk about the matter properly, preferably to dispel Aunt Wei's thoughts.

At this moment, a wind blew in through the crack of the door.

In the evening of June, the temperature was not low, but with the wind, Wei Ning's bare arms were covered with goose bumps, and he couldn't help shaking. Then, he felt a chill around his ears, as if As if being touched by something cold, Wei Ning subconsciously stretched out his hand and touched his ear.

Nothing at all--

The author has something to say: This kind of thing where someone fell into the water and stood on the shore and was frightened stupid is a personal experience——

Back then, when I was young, I once went to play with my sister by the pool, and squatted by the pool to try to pull out some water plants. The bank of the pool was slanted and grew The moss is slippery, and as a result, I slid and slipped directly into the water—then, my sister who was still standing by the pool watched me flopping in the pool, the more I flopped, the farther I was from the shore, but my sister There was no reaction at all—if my mother hadn’t just come back, you might not have seen this article I wrote—according to my sister later, her whole mind was blank at that time, and she had no reaction at all.

So there is such a thing as being scared and stupid. The time to react can vary from a few seconds to a few minutes~~
