As if sensing his gaze, the young man turned his head and met He Lou's gaze.His expression was a little confused, but he still nodded politely with a smile, and then looked away.
An Xingyu also noticed something strange about He Lou. He followed the other person's gaze and found that it was a young man who looked very gentle.
Only then did He Lou forcefully calm down, shaking his head lightly.
He just... He never thought that the other party would survive.Even though he acted so smart and terribly cruel, in the face of absolute power, that is, in front of the completely crazy Taoist priest, he really couldn't figure out how Lu Yanli escaped.
Besides, what does Lu Yanli's look mean?Does he not recognize himself?Why does he seem to be looking at a stranger?
When he first entered the world, Lu Yanli still remembered his appearance as a cowardly, kind, and kind person, and He Lou couldn't help wondering whether he really didn't know himself, or was he just pretending?
Or, in this world, is there another person who looks so similar to him?
For a moment, he fell into his own thoughts, on the surface he still listened carefully to what the village chief said, but his eyes still involuntarily glanced in Lu Yanli's direction from time to time.
The village chief was speaking impassionedly, but suddenly stopped, his eyes fixed, and he looked straight at He Lou. Under the dim light of the lantern, his expression was ghastly.
"There's an unruly guest here..."
Everyone in the audience also fell silent, followed the direction of the village chief and turned their heads to look at He Lou.Their expressions were as eerie and weird as the village chief's, and they spoke in unison.
"Guest, why don't you obey the rules?"
Their faces turned pale, their slender and bright red mouths opened and closed, and upon closer inspection they looked like paper dolls placed under the mourning hall. There was no smile in their crooked eyes, but cold and cruel.
Standing among the villagers, Lu Yanli turned his head to look at He Lou, and curled his lips in the same way. Compared with the villagers, the horror and cruelty in his eyes were even worse.
"Guest, you don't obey the rules...you don't obey the rules..."
"An unruly person... wants to..."
He Lou broke out in a cold sweat.
He didn't expect that the village chief would notice him keenly just by looking at Lu Yanli a few more times. Lu Yanli was standing beside the village chief, so he shouldn't have been spotted?
But think about it, the "people" in this village may not be considered human anymore, and their obsession with rules must be beyond the reach of ordinary people.So maybe you are extra sensitive about this?
How to do?
He was vaguely aware of the punishment in this village, letting a group of ghosts punish humans, the consequences can be imagined.
what to do? !What should he do?
The other executors who came together were also sweating coldly.
Although I have also read the village rules, I know that this may be the key to them leaving the village alive, but after all, they are not from the village, and currently they do not have a very clear concept of "violating the village rules will kill them", so they may not have just now. How carefully you listen to the village chief.
Who knew He Lou was arrested?
An Xingyu, who was standing beside him, immediately shut up and looked at the village chief seriously.He couldn't help but sweat for He Lou.
What will he do?
He Lou is also someone who has done many missions, except for the time when Lu Yanli underestimated the other party and overturned the car, he has some experience in dealing with these weird things.After being flustered for a few seconds, he immediately apologized before the sentence "to be punished" was said: "Village chief, the village rules say that everyone must celebrate happily together at the wedding banquet."
He emphasized the word happy. When he said this, his palms were filled with sweat, and his whole body froze in place, but he still forced himself to look calm.Even the breathing rate was not disturbed much.
If it wasn't for the cold sweat on his back that had already wet his clothes, He Lou probably thought he was calm and composed.
As he said these words, the smiles of all the villagers froze on their faces, and the slender slits stopped, maintaining a funny angle that was trying to raise and speak.Lu Yanli was no exception, standing in the crowd, just like them, with a strange smile paused on his face.
The sound of the suona continued, and the crackling firecrackers and the dull sound of welcoming relatives in the distance were getting closer.Even the cold wind seemed to freeze.
The only thing still moving now is the village head's son in the black and white photo.His smile drooped slowly, the corners of his mouth and eyes gradually turned down, and his black eyes stared straight at He Lou.
"Village chief, the village rules say that during the wedding banquet, everyone must celebrate happily together."
Suddenly, He Lou became calmer, and he repeated his words again.
Yes, I studied the village rules several times for him.
Village rules, village rules.
As a villager, it is natural to abide by it.How could they be unhappy at the wedding banquet?
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
A few seconds are longer than hours.
Finally, the stagnant wind blew again, and the pale and paper-like expressions on the faces of the village head and villagers also moved.
"Today is my son's wedding banquet, everyone should celebrate happily." The village chief said again.
The whole square came alive again, and the villagers put on their joyful smiles again and listened quietly to the village chief.
As if the accident just now had never happened, no one mentioned the word rules, and no one took another look at He Lou.
Lu Yanli also looked away, acting like other villagers, listening carefully to what the village chief said, and applauding when it was time to applaud.
He Lou breathed a sigh of relief quietly, but he never dared to try to violate the village rules again.This time is okay, what if there is a next time?
The same goes for others.
Just looking at the performance of these villagers, it is difficult to convince myself that they are still human beings.But the mission they perform has its own rules, even the ghosts must obey, this is the only way they can escape.Not even daring to look at each other, they waited quietly.
The rules of marrying yin relatives are different from those of ordinary marriages, and the rules of their Honghe Village are even more different.If the son of the village head is married, the "auspicious time" must be counted in advance according to the deceased's birthday, and the coffin will be relocated on the same day.The bride who is married must also count the "auspicious time" and carry the new coffin and sedan chair into the man's home in a minute or two.
At midnight, the two newcomers meet.If they agree with each other, they will formally see the ceremony, pay homage to heaven and earth, and visit the high hall for the second time. The corpses of the husband and wife will be put together in one coffin, and then the welcoming team will carry them to the Red River at the end of the village, push the coffin to the river, and when it reaches the middle of the river, the coffin will fall naturally. Shen.This is a gift.
These rules are still after the village chief has finished speaking, he announces that everyone can take their seats.One of the villagers who sat with He Lou told them the rules.
The village chief read out a bunch of words, listening carefully was nothing more than admonishing his son, he has already found a very, very good wife for him, so that he can feel at ease in the future, treat his wife well, and don't make trouble in the house again Restless.The same goes for his unmarried daughter-in-law. If she abides by the village rules, everyone in Honghe Village will accept her. If she doesn't, then Honghe will definitely punish her and make her restless.
Still the rules...
At this moment, this group of task performers once again refreshed their understanding: that is, how important rules are to the villagers of Honghe Village.
Therefore, they absolutely, absolutely must not violate it.
He Lou glanced at Lu Yanli's back for the last time, and looked away.
Regarding this person, he can test it out tomorrow, but the wedding banquet is the most important thing now.
One by one the dishes were served.When the first dish was served, the executors couldn't help but clenched their fists.
"Why don't you eat it?" The villagers looked up in doubt.
"That's right, why don't you eat it?" Upon hearing this question, the villagers at the next table immediately turned their heads.
Their eyes were full of cold malice, and their mouths became long and thin, opening and closing.
"Why don't you eat?"
"The guest is unruly again, the unruly guest... the unruly guest..."
Several other people were also sweating coldly.
The dishes on the table are extremely strange, such as bright red mushrooms soaked in thick red pulp, a monkey head that has just been chopped off and its celestial cap is peeled off, revealing white brains, and a squeaking newborn mouse baby locked in a cage. Cub, there is a blushing sauce on the side...
A villager opened the cage, stretched out his chopsticks, and picked up a pinkish-white mouse that hadn't grown hair yet and hadn't opened its eyes. The mouse kept squeaking and screaming. When he dipped it in the seasoning, the mouse immediately let out an even worse squeaking sound. Squeak scream.The villagers turned a deaf ear, and put the mouse into the mouth with a smile of enjoyment on their faces. The squeak of chewing and the last squeak of the mouse were creepy.
"Why don't you eat it?" The villager showed a pink tail at the corner of his mouth, and he showed a mouthful of white fangs.
"You don't follow the rules..."
He Lou said: "It is said in the village rules that you cannot speak when you have something in your mouth."
The villager paused, and the pink tail disappeared immediately.
When he looked at He Lou again, his eyes became even more cruel: "You...you don't obey the rules..."
He Lou said: "I'll eat." After finishing speaking, he picked up the chopsticks and reached out to pick up a piece of red mushroom. He forced himself to put the mushroom into his mouth and bit down.
The liquid with a strong and extreme bloody smell splashed out and exploded in the mouth.He Lou endured it, swallowed it forcefully, and said with a smile, "It's delicious."
Only then did the villager look away and stare straight at the others.
Seeing this, what else do those people have to say?They were sitting at the same table, seeing He Lou bravely ate first, each of them also stretched out their chopsticks to pick up mushrooms.
I don't know if it's a coincidence, but there is one for each person, and the plate of mushrooms is just empty.
The villager's face looked good now, and he regained his vitality.
But the executors were in a miserable situation. One by one, they stuffed the mushrooms into their mouths unpreparedly, almost being disgusted by the extremely strong bloody smell and vomited out.He Lou said in time: "Everyone should enjoy the food." They thought of the village regulations saying that food should not be wasted, so they reluctantly swallowed it.
Except Chen Zhenghao.
After He Lou finished eating, he was the first to pick up mushrooms with his chopsticks, and he was also the first to deliver them to his mouth.He Lou didn't change his face, so he didn't pay much attention to it. As soon as he entered the mouth, he was vomited by the blood that seemed to have been placed for half a month, and spat it out.
The others had just entered the entrance at this time, with Chen Zhenghao's reaction and He Lou's reminder.They forcibly ate it and pretended to enjoy it.Immediately, the eyes of the whole village turned to Chen Zhenghao.
"Guest, you don't obey the rules."
A sound like an echo, one sentence after another reminded from all directions, and pairs of malicious eyes watched over.
Chen Zhenghao was frightened out of his wits, these are not human beings, he actually violated the village rules, what should we do?
How to do? !
Feeling flustered, before He Lou reminded him, Chen Zhenghao hastily stood up and tried to wave his hands: "Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
Because of fear, his whole body was shaking, his voice trembled, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He tried to be sincere so that the villagers would let him go.
However, seeing him admit it, the smiles on the faces of the villagers widened completely, and the same smile appeared on each pale face.
"Guest, if you don't obey the rules, you will be punished!!"
shit……
He Lou lowered his head.
An Xingyu sighed invisibly.Shen Na was sitting next to Ding Conglu, holding down the girl who wanted to stand up, and pinning her in place with her eyes.
Chen Zhenghao is sure to die, there is no need to catch him.
Ding Conglu's eyes were full of tears, she wanted to struggle, but Shen Na's strength was too great.An Xingyu's pure black eyes flickered, and he handed over a handkerchief and stuffed it into Ding Conglu's mouth where he wanted to scream, and then held down Ding Conglu's writhing body.
In fact, the moment Chen Zhenghao stood up, he felt regretful and wanted to kill himself.
Obviously, He Lou has just demonstrated that as long as he refuses to admit and single out the villagers' violations, he can escape.
Why should he admit it?
However, the words have already been spoken, no matter how much you regret it, it will not help.Chen Zhenghao stood in front of the table, surrounded by sharp and excited smiles.Knowing that his death was imminent, he subconsciously swallowed, his whole body trembling constantly, almost collapsed.
I, I'm going to die...
This is the second time, this is only the second time.Why am I so stupid?
I'm dead, what should Xiao Lu do?
She is the most timid, no one will protect her from now on...
Looking at Ding Conglu who was full of tears, Chen Zhenghao's eyes flashed with reluctance. He looked at his girlfriend, shook his head firmly, then looked at Shen Na and An Xingyu who helped hold her down, and said silently That's it - thank you.
Ding Conglu faltered more violently, and was forcibly blocked by a handkerchief, so he couldn't utter it.She turned to look at the others, eyes full of pain and pleading for help.
I beg of you, save him! !
He Lou met Ding Conglu's gaze and shook his head slowly.
He couldn't save people, even when he chose to eat the mushroom just now, it was because he saw Lu Yanli took a piece of mushroom and ate it.And Chen Zhenghao...he couldn't be rescued.
"Punishment! Punishment!"
The sharp and thin voices continued into pieces, and several children clapped their hands together, and sang the ballad in tender and childlike voices.
"If you make a mistake, you need to be punished. If you want to be punished, how should you punish? Ask the village chief! The village chief said, how should you punish?"
After the children's songs were sung, the whole village fell silent, and the villagers looked at the village chief excitedly.
The outline of the village chief was indistinct under the light of the lantern, and the corners of his mouth rose almost to the ears, saying, "He violated the rules, and he will be punished."
"Punish him—make a lantern for Uncle Wu tonight."
"Oh oh oh, make lanterns! Make lanterns! Big lanterns, small lanterns, lantern dolls bump into each other, male dolls have to cut off their hands, female dolls have to cut off their tongues..."
The children clapped their hands and sang nursery rhymes, but they couldn't hear clearly amid the approaching suona.
Those who violated the rules were punished. All the villagers were very happy, and Chen Zhenghao was also very happy. His breath was relieved, and he collapsed on the chair, his chest heaving violently.
Fortunately, just make lanterns.Even if he worked as a lantern for a whole month, it would be better than losing his life.
Chen Zhenghao and Ding Conglu, who thought they had escaped from death, hugged each other, weeping with joy.He didn't notice the pity eyes of the others.
Chen Zhenghao said sincerely: "Xiao Lu, I accidentally violated the village rules, you must not violate them." Ding Conglu snuggled into his arms obediently and nodded: "If you are serious about making lanterns, you must be more careful. Don't make any more mistakes."
Shen Na and He Lou looked at each other, and remembered the lantern she saw at Uncle Wu's house.
The lantern he made out of some kind of leather bag is hanging in front of the mourning hall at the moment, on the left and right, there are male and female children laughing happily.
That skin is...
They didn't say it, to make the young couple happy for a while.
The cold wind blows harder, the night is thick and dark, and the heavy colored lanterns can't illuminate, as if all the light is swallowed by the night.
The executors didn't dare to speak any more, and waited quietly.
Strangely, the suona sound passed into the ears one after another. People discussed several times that the bride was coming soon, but the bride never arrived. The suona sound was getting closer and closer, but it always seemed to be a distance away.
The coffin of the village chief's son had already been dug out and placed in the room where he lived.
Only at midnight, the two opened the coffin and saluted.
"Quick! Bring my son here!" Counting that the time was almost up, the village chief hurriedly called out.
A few strong laborers put down their chopsticks and went to the inner room.
After a while, the stench followed the wind.
It was the long-term buried soil and the smell of rotting flesh.Four big men slowly came to the center of the mourning hall with the coffin on their shoulders. The heavy wooden coffin swayed gently with their steps, and it could be seen that it was not light.
An Xingyu noticed sharply that the coffin hadn't been crucified, at least the lid hadn't been closed tightly, and fresh soil and a few dead grasses were still sticking to the bottom of the coffin.
It was actually dug out today.
An Xingyu's eyes scanned the coffin, and his eyes fell on the shoe prints under the feet of several big men.Because it was too heavy, their feet sank slightly into the mud.An Xingyu stared intently, was lightly touched by his teammate, and said in a low voice, "What are you thinking?"
An Xingyu shook his head and said nothing.
Maybe he has done too many topics. He just tried to calculate the weight of the coffin from the depth of the footprints, but now that he thinks about it, it is unnecessary.
"The groom arrives at—"
The old man in the village yelled in a long voice, and the somewhat hoarse voice seemed to have great penetrating power, which was not overwhelmed by the sound of lock.
The next moment, the music was loud!
Four porters appeared at the end of the road carrying a white sedan chair. They had the same smiles on their faces, the same expressions as the lanterns hanging at both ends of the sedan chair, with the corners of their eyes bent down and the corners of their mouths raised.There was no smile in those eyes.
Suona, trumpets, gongs, waist drums... The team is blowing and beating to this end.
In the mourning hall, the man's smile was even bigger.
"The bride has arrived—" the old man shouted again.
The wind became colder and more urgent in an instant. Except for the remaining mission executors who wrapped their clothes tightly, the other villagers stretched their necks to watch without knowing it.
It really stretches the neck.
An Xingyu glanced at the villager in front of him, and keenly noticed that his neck had stretched by about five centimeters.Ordinary people think that a long neck looks good, and many girls also pursue a swan neck, but when the neck really grows to this extent... it is a bit scary.
Now they are not forbidden to talk, and the crowd gathers to chat in twos and threes, either talking about the bride and groom being a match made in heaven, or wishing them to be blessed by the Red River and get married smoothly.
Several task executors took the opportunity to get together and communicate in a low voice.He Lou ordered and looked around.
After looking at it, He Lou found something was wrong.
It seems that no young people have been seen.
According to the village rules, the whole village must be together at the wedding banquet.Especially today was the wedding banquet of the village chief's family, and the whole village should have gathered here, but he only saw middle-aged and elderly people, and the youngest was in his thirties.
However, there are still many children in the village.
So, where have all those young people, young people in their twenties gone?
Wait, by analogy, this person must not belong to Honghe Village, right?Otherwise, he is the only young man in the whole village?
Just as he was thinking, a familiar figure from the back appeared in front of him, He Lou collected his thoughts, walked over immediately, and patted the other person on the shoulder.
The young man turned around, Junxiu had some doubts on his face, but soon he showed a kind smile: "Hello, what can you do for me?"
"Hello, is your name Lu Yanli?" He Lou forced a smile.
Seeing him, He Lou couldn't help but think of the tragedy of his last mission.Probably because of a psychological shadow, he was standing in front of Lu Yanli now, and there was a voice deep in his heart clamoring for him to stay away from this man.
Lu Yanli nodded, with doubts in his eyes: "Yes, how did you know?" He seemed to realize that this was not very polite, and he stretched out his hand and smiled kindly, "You are also tourists here, right? I seem to have seen you before."
He Lou stretched out his hand and held it with him. The other party's strength was very moderate, not at all as fierce as when he grabbed his neck.He tentatively asked: "My name is He Lou, and I came here with my friends to experience the country style, how about you?"
Lu Yanli smiled: "I'm a reporter, and I'm here to do folklore surveys."
"Folk survey?"
"Yes, Honghe Village is very famous. The villagers here are very enthusiastic and polite. Apart from the local customs, they are most famous for the local food and ghost marriage customs." Speaking of this, Lu Yanli asked with concern, "Village Chief We specially entertained us with the most famous specialty food, you should have tasted it just now, how is it? Very good, right?"
Thinking of the terrible "food" on the table, He Lou shook his fingers: "Mmm, it's delicious."
Do you really not remember or pretend not to remember?He Lou really wanted to ask, but he was afraid that the other party had become a ghost, and if he asked himself, it would remind him that he was dead, which would arouse his killing intent.
This is the case in many horror movies. Ghosts are no different from living people when they don't know they are dead, but once they recall that they are dead, they will become extremely terrifying ghosts!
The living Lu Yanli was already difficult enough, and He Lou could imagine that if the other party died, he would only become more vicious and cruel.
Even if the other party is alive, He Lou doesn't want to have anything to do with him anymore.
He stood a little further away from Lu Yanli, and a group of people stretched their necks to watch the ceremony of the bride's coffin coming out.
A bright red embroidered shoe protruded from the white sedan chair and stepped on the ground.
An Xingyu also noticed something strange about He Lou. He followed the other person's gaze and found that it was a young man who looked very gentle.
Only then did He Lou forcefully calm down, shaking his head lightly.
He just... He never thought that the other party would survive.Even though he acted so smart and terribly cruel, in the face of absolute power, that is, in front of the completely crazy Taoist priest, he really couldn't figure out how Lu Yanli escaped.
Besides, what does Lu Yanli's look mean?Does he not recognize himself?Why does he seem to be looking at a stranger?
When he first entered the world, Lu Yanli still remembered his appearance as a cowardly, kind, and kind person, and He Lou couldn't help wondering whether he really didn't know himself, or was he just pretending?
Or, in this world, is there another person who looks so similar to him?
For a moment, he fell into his own thoughts, on the surface he still listened carefully to what the village chief said, but his eyes still involuntarily glanced in Lu Yanli's direction from time to time.
The village chief was speaking impassionedly, but suddenly stopped, his eyes fixed, and he looked straight at He Lou. Under the dim light of the lantern, his expression was ghastly.
"There's an unruly guest here..."
Everyone in the audience also fell silent, followed the direction of the village chief and turned their heads to look at He Lou.Their expressions were as eerie and weird as the village chief's, and they spoke in unison.
"Guest, why don't you obey the rules?"
Their faces turned pale, their slender and bright red mouths opened and closed, and upon closer inspection they looked like paper dolls placed under the mourning hall. There was no smile in their crooked eyes, but cold and cruel.

"Guest, you don't obey the rules...you don't obey the rules..."
"An unruly person... wants to..."
He Lou broke out in a cold sweat.
He didn't expect that the village chief would notice him keenly just by looking at Lu Yanli a few more times. Lu Yanli was standing beside the village chief, so he shouldn't have been spotted?
But think about it, the "people" in this village may not be considered human anymore, and their obsession with rules must be beyond the reach of ordinary people.So maybe you are extra sensitive about this?

As soon as he entered the mouth, he was vomited by the blood that seemed to have been placed for half a month, and spat it out.
The others had just entered the entrance at this time, with Chen Zhenghao's reaction and He Lou's reminder.They forcibly ate it and pretended to enjoy it.Immediately, the eyes of the whole village turned to Chen Zhenghao.
"Guest, you don't obey the rules."
A sound like an echo, one sentence after another reminded from all directions, and pairs of malicious eyes watched over.
Chen Zhenghao was frightened out of his wits, these are not human beings, he actually violated the village rules, what should we do?
How to do? !
Feeling flustered, before He Lou reminded him, Chen Zhenghao hastily stood up and tried to wave his hands: "Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
Because of fear, his whole body was shaking, his voice trembled, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He tried to be sincere so that the villagers would let him go.
However, seeing him admit it, the smiles on the faces of the villagers widened completely, and the same smile appeared on each pale face.
"Guest, if you don't obey the rules, you will be punished!!"
shit……
He Lou lowered his head.
An Xingyu sighed invisibly.Shen Na was sitting next to Ding Conglu, holding down the girl who wanted to stand up, and pinning her in place with her eyes.
Chen Zhenghao is sure to die, there is no need to catch him.
Ding Conglu's eyes were full of tears, she wanted to struggle, but Shen Na's strength was too great.An Xingyu's pure black eyes flickered, and he handed over a handkerchief and stuffed it into Ding Conglu's mouth where he wanted to scream, and then held down Ding Conglu's writhing body.
In fact, the moment Chen Zhenghao stood up, he felt regretful and wanted to kill himself.
Obviously, He Lou has just demonstrated that as long as he refuses to admit and single out the villagers' violations, he can escape.
Why should he admit it?
However, the words have already been spoken, no matter how much you regret it, it will not help.Chen Zhenghao stood in front of the table, surrounded by sharp and excited smiles.Knowing that his death was imminent, he subconsciously swallowed, his whole body trembling constantly, almost collapsed.
I, I'm going to die...
This is the second time, this is only the second time.Why am I so stupid?
I'm dead, what should Xiao Lu do?
She is the most timid, no one will protect her from now on...
Looking at Ding Conglu who was full of tears, Chen Zhenghao's eyes flashed with reluctance. He looked at his girlfriend, shook his head firmly, then looked at Shen Na and An Xingyu who helped hold her down, and said silently That's it - thank you.
Ding Conglu faltered more violently, and was forcibly blocked by a handkerchief, so he couldn't utter it.She turned to look at the others, eyes full of pain and pleading for help.
I beg of you, save him! !
He Lou met Ding Conglu's gaze and shook his head slowly.
He couldn't save people, even when he chose to eat the mushroom just now, it was because he saw Lu Yanli took a piece of mushroom and ate it.And Chen Zhenghao...he couldn't be rescued.
"Punishment! Punishment!"
The sharp and thin voices continued into pieces, and several children clapped their hands together, and sang the ballad in tender and childlike voices.
"If you make a mistake, you need to be punished. If you want to be punished, how should you punish? Ask the village chief! The village chief said, how should you punish?"
After the children's songs were sung, the whole village fell silent, and the villagers looked at the village chief excitedly.
The outline of the village chief was indistinct under the light of the lantern, and the corners of his mouth rose almost to the ears, saying, "He violated the rules, and he will be punished."
"Punish him—make a lantern for Uncle Wu tonight."
"Oh oh oh, make lanterns! Make lanterns! Big lanterns, small lanterns, lantern dolls bump into each other, male dolls have to cut off their hands, female dolls have to cut off their tongues..."
The children clapped their hands and sang nursery rhymes, but they couldn't hear clearly amid the approaching suona.
Those who violated the rules were punished. All the villagers were very happy, and Chen Zhenghao was also very happy. His breath was relieved, and he collapsed on the chair, his chest heaving violently.
Fortunately, just make lanterns.Even if he worked as a lantern for a whole month, it would be better than losing his life.
Chen Zhenghao and Ding Conglu, who thought they had escaped from death, hugged each other, weeping with joy.He didn't notice the pity eyes of the others.
Chen Zhenghao said sincerely: "Xiao Lu, I accidentally violated the village rules, you must not violate them." Ding Conglu snuggled into his arms obediently and nodded: "If you are serious about making lanterns, you must be more careful. Don't make any more mistakes."
Shen Na and He Lou looked at each other, and remembered the lantern she saw at Uncle Wu's house.
The lantern he made out of some kind of leather bag is hanging in front of the mourning hall at the moment, on the left and right, there are male and female children laughing happily.
That skin is...
They didn't say it, to make the young couple happy for a while.
The cold wind blows harder, the night is thick and dark, and the heavy colored lanterns can't illuminate, as if all the light is swallowed by the night.
The executors didn't dare to speak any more, and waited quietly.
Strangely, the suona sound passed into the ears one after another. People discussed several times that the bride was coming soon, but the bride never arrived. The suona sound was getting closer and closer, but it always seemed to be a distance away.
The coffin of the village chief's son had already been dug out and placed in the room where he lived.
Only at midnight, the two opened the coffin and saluted.
"Quick! Bring my son here!" Counting that the time was almost up, the village chief hurriedly called out.
A few strong laborers put down their chopsticks and went to the inner room.
After a while, the stench followed the wind.
It was the long-term buried soil and the smell of rotting flesh.Four big men slowly came to the center of the mourning hall with the coffin on their shoulders. The heavy wooden coffin swayed gently with their steps, and it could be seen that it was not light.
An Xingyu noticed sharply that the coffin hadn't been crucified, at least the lid hadn't been closed tightly, and fresh soil and a few dead grasses were still sticking to the bottom of the coffin.
It was actually dug out today.
An Xingyu's eyes scanned the coffin, and his eyes fell on the shoe prints under the feet of several big men.Because it was too heavy, their feet sank slightly into the mud.An Xingyu stared intently, was lightly touched by his teammate, and said in a low voice, "What are you thinking?"
An Xingyu shook his head and said nothing.
Maybe he has done too many topics. He just tried to calculate the weight of the coffin from the depth of the footprints, but now that he thinks about it, it is unnecessary.
"The groom arrives at—"
The old man in the village yelled in a long voice, and the somewhat hoarse voice seemed to have great penetrating power, which was not overwhelmed by the sound of lock.
The next moment, the music was loud!
Four porters appeared at the end of the road carrying a white sedan chair. They had the same smiles on their faces, the same expressions as the lanterns hanging at both ends of the sedan chair, with the corners of their eyes bent down and the corners of their mouths raised.There was no smile in those eyes.
Suona, trumpets, gongs, waist drums... The team is blowing and beating to this end.
In the mourning hall, the man's smile was even bigger.
"The bride has arrived—" the old man shouted again.
The wind became colder and more urgent in an instant. Except for the remaining mission executors who wrapped their clothes tightly, the other villagers stretched their necks to watch without knowing it.
It really stretches the neck.
An Xingyu glanced at the villager in front of him, and keenly noticed that his neck had stretched by about five centimeters.Ordinary people think that a long neck looks good, and many girls also pursue a swan neck, but when the neck really grows to this extent... it is a bit scary.
Now they are not forbidden to talk, and the crowd gathers to chat in twos and threes, either talking about the bride and groom being a match made in heaven, or wishing them to be blessed by the Red River and get married smoothly.
Several task executors took the opportunity to get together and communicate in a low voice.He Lou ordered and looked around.
After looking at it, He Lou found something was wrong.
It seems that no young people have been seen.
According to the village rules, the whole village must be together at the wedding banquet.Especially today was the wedding banquet of the village chief's family, and the whole village should have gathered here, but he only saw middle-aged and elderly people, and the youngest was in his thirties.
However, there are still many children in the village.
So, where have all those young people, young people in their twenties gone?
Wait, by analogy, this person must not belong to Honghe Village, right?Otherwise, he is the only young man in the whole village?
Just as he was thinking, a familiar figure from the back appeared in front of him, He Lou collected his thoughts, walked over immediately, and patted the other person on the shoulder.
The young man turned around, Junxiu had some doubts on his face, but soon he showed a kind smile: "Hello, what can you do for me?"
"Hello, is your name Lu Yanli?" He Lou forced a smile.
Seeing him, He Lou couldn't help but think of the tragedy of his last mission.Probably because of a psychological shadow, he was standing in front of Lu Yanli now, and there was a voice deep in his heart clamoring for him to stay away from this man.
Lu Yanli nodded, with doubts in his eyes: "Yes, how did you know?" He seemed to realize that this was not very polite, and he stretched out his hand and smiled kindly, "You are also tourists here, right? I seem to have seen you before."
He Lou stretched out his hand and held it with him. The other party's strength was very moderate, not at all as fierce as when he grabbed his neck.He tentatively asked: "My name is He Lou, and I came here with my friends to experience the country style, how about you?"
Lu Yanli smiled: "I'm a reporter, and I'm here to do folklore surveys."
"Folk survey?"
"Yes, Honghe Village is very famous. The villagers here are very enthusiastic and polite. Apart from the local customs, they are most famous for the local food and ghost marriage customs." Speaking of this, Lu Yanli asked with concern, "Village Chief We specially entertained us with the most famous specialty food, you should have tasted it just now, how is it? Very good, right?"
Thinking of the terrible "food" on the table, He Lou shook his fingers: "Mmm, it's delicious."
Do you really not remember or pretend not to remember?He Lou really wanted to ask, but he was afraid that the other party had become a ghost, and if he asked himself, it would remind him that he was dead, which would arouse his killing intent.
This is the case in many horror movies. Ghosts are no different from living people when they don't know they are dead, but once they recall that they are dead, they will become extremely terrifying ghosts!
The living Lu Yanli was already difficult enough, and He Lou could imagine that if the other party died, he would only become more vicious and cruel.
Even if the other party is alive, He Lou doesn't want to have anything to do with him anymore.
He stood a little further away from Lu Yanli, and a group of people stretched their necks to watch the ceremony of the bride's coffin coming out.
A bright red embroidered shoe protruded from the white sedan chair and stepped on the ground.
