After He Lou went back, he burned a stick of incense for his good friend Chen Zhenghao.

In the photo frame, an ordinary-looking man moved, took a breath of white smoke, his dull eyes gradually became brighter, and stared straight at He Lou with dark eyes.

"I know you like that girl very much, don't worry, I will send her down to accompany you tomorrow." He Lou was not afraid at all, toasted a glass of wine to the photo, and said with emotion.

Shen Na came in from the door, and she saw the man in the photo smiling, so she couldn't help showing a smile, and nodded to Chen Zhenghao: "Brother Zhenghao, although you made mistakes before and the village punished you, but now you correct yourself If you renew yourself, the village will still marry you a good wife. You must abide by the rules with your wife in the future."

The man in the photo nodded, Shen Na winked at He Lou again, and the two walked out the door.

Because of the wedding, the yard is filled with white lanterns and wreaths, and the mourning hall has been prepared long ago, waiting to be put up tomorrow.Today is a nice day with low clouds and no rain.The two stood under the lush locust tree in the middle of the yard, looked into the room, and made sure that Chen Zhenghao couldn't hear him before speaking.

"What should we do? Now Ding Conglu is unwilling to live or die, and says that we are crazy, and asks us to wake up and remember something." Shen Na took a long breath, and said displeasedly: "How many years have the ghost marriage custom been?" , how can there be any reason to break it because of her alone?"

He Lou frowned upon hearing this.

He is the leader of the small group, and everyone obeys him very much. It is precisely because of his leadership that the small group can quickly gain a foothold in Honghe Village.

Now some people actually want to break the rules. Doesn't this make them unable to get along in Honghe Village?

"I'll go see her."

Shen Na nodded: "That's the only way to go, she doesn't listen to anyone now, she's crazy, she doesn't follow any rules."

A man named Liu Xia from the same team just stepped into the courtyard, and when he heard them talking about Ding Conglu, he immediately complained: "Brother Lou, you just need to go out, Xiaoding usually listens to you very much. I don't know." What's wrong with her these days, she seems crazy, if it wasn't for the fact that she was about to get married, how could the other villagers tolerate her being so presumptuous?"

"Where is she now?" He Lou frowned even more tightly.

Liu Xia said: "Because she was crying and complaining about going on a hunger strike, she is locked up in the basement now. After all, if she goes on a hunger strike, she won't be so pretty. I asked Lu Xiuxiu to watch her and feed her something to eat."

Lu Xiuxiu was another girl in the team. She was not very good-looking and didn't talk much, but she listened to Liu Xia very much.

"Okay, take me there."

As soon as they stepped out of the courtyard, they bumped into a man standing at the corner. He looked up and down at the three people with indignant faces, and asked with an indescribable smile, "You are going to send her on the road now." ?”

Seeing this man, Liu Xia suddenly stopped in place when He Lou saw this man, and immediately stepped forward: "Then why not? If we keep her, can we all have trouble going on?"

This young and handsome man is obviously Lu Yanli.

Liu Xia admired He Lou very much. If it wasn't for He Lou, they would not have been able to gain a foothold in Honghe Village. The years of getting along with each other also made them develop deep feelings for each other.On the contrary, it was Lu Yanli who came to Honghe Village with them, and everyone treated him relatively coldly.Liu Xia knew that the village rules stipulated that he must be friendly to his friends, but he just couldn't get close to Lu Yanli.

Lu Yanli said flatly: "If you speak badly to your friends, it will violate the rules."

Liu Xia was startled and immediately shut up.

He Lou collected himself and asked, "Are you going to persuade her with us?"

Lu Yanli turned his head and glanced at the room, and was looking at the man in the black and white photo. Just when He Lou thought he was unwilling, he chuckled, and looked at the few people again with eyes that He Lou couldn't understand: "Okay ah."

Now there were four people traveling together, with Liu Xia leading the way.

They lived together in a small building at the entrance of the village, each with a room.In the basement, you have to go through the courtyard door to the woodshed opposite, and enter through a small door on the ground of the woodshed.

Today the weather is very gloomy, the cold wind is blowing, blowing loudly.There were a lot of paper-made gold and silver ingots piled up in the firewood room. In order to prevent those things from being blown away by the wind, after the four of them entered the door, Liu Xia, who was walking at the end, reached out and closed the door.

The already dark woodshed was even darker, and only the outlines of everyone could be seen clearly. Liu Xia lit the kerosene lamp in the house and handed it to Shen Na to carry it. The handle lifted a wooden board the size of a small square table on the ground.

When I first entered the door, I could hear a faint sound, but now that the wooden board was lifted, the woman's still crying sound after being gagged became more obvious.

At the same time, a burst of extremely cold breath gushed out from the entrance of the cave. Several people present couldn't help shaking and wrapped their clothes tightly, but they didn't take it seriously.

Liu Xia said: "Look, she has been like this until now."

Shen Na had genuine hatred on her face: "There are really no rules for making such a scene!"

Even He Lou, who has always been steady, couldn't help frowning, and a little disgust flashed in his eyes.

Only Lu Yanli quietly stared at the dark hole, without speaking.

He Lou said: "Okay, after all, we are friends who have lived together for several years. Please be considerate." After finishing speaking, he came to the entrance of the cave, took the kerosene lamp from An Xingyu's hand, and shone a light on it. , shouted inside: "Lu Xiuxiu, are you there?"

Lu Xiuxiu didn't respond, only the weeping clogged in her throat was still loud.

"It's strange, I obviously let her stay inside." Liu Xia was puzzled.

He Lou suddenly thought of a possibility, and immediately said: "Quick! Let's go down!"

After all, he jumped down.

The construction of the basement is very peculiar. Jump down and land on the ground one meter high from the entrance of the cave, walk forward with a bow and walk downhill for a while, and you can reach the real basement room in front.There are such basements under many houses in the village, which are used to store corpses needed for ghost marriages.The basement attached to the small building where they live is one of the largest underground morgues in the village.

After all, they are good friends, so naturally they can't treat Ding Conglu badly.If Ding Conglu is still so ignorant...

He Lou's face darkened.

I hope she will not toast or eat fine wine.

Shen Na and the others jumped down and walked forward with bowed waist behind He Lou.They also vaguely guessed something, and each of them gritted their teeth angrily, calling out Lu Xiuxiu's name.

Probably because she heard the call, the woman's weeping and weeping became more obvious.

Lu Yanli was the last one to walk. He glanced around the facilities in the firewood room, his eyes fixed on a pile of firewood.But he didn't say anything, and slowly followed behind and jumped down, bowing his waist forward.

As soon as he jumped in, the cold breath from the depths of the ground shot straight up from the bottom of his feet and rushed to the top of the sky.

It was cold that could almost freeze the soul into ice.

The feet landed on the slightly wet soil. Judging by the weak light from the front row of kerosene lamps that penetrated through several shadows and poured to the back, the soil seemed to be soaked in blood and glowed crimson. I stepped on it, Even the soles are red.

Lu Yanli quietly followed behind them. Although the basement was large, the road was extremely narrow at the beginning, and only one person could pass through.After walking for a short distance, the walls became noticeably wider.

Liu Xia took the opportunity to catch up to He Lou who was in front, and walked side by side with him.Shen Na didn't want to go with Lu Yanli and catch up with the two men in front after the road widened, leaving Lu Yanli behind alone.

As we walked forward, the smell mixed with wet and cold soil and strong watery smell became more intense. A few people seemed to have not smelled it, and turned a few corners along the wall, and suddenly it opened up in front of them. It was a room of about [-] to [-] square meters In the empty room, in the center of the room, stood a dark and heavy wooden coffin.

The coffin was not completely closed, and the crying of the woman happened to come from inside the coffin.

"Lu Xiuxiu, is that you?" He Lou asked loudly.

He handed the kerosene lamp to Shen Na, came to the front, and said to Liu Xia, "Come, help me."

The village attaches great importance to ghost marriages, and the coffins must be made of the best materials. The lid alone is too thick for an adult to push open.He Lou leaned against the head of the wooden coffin lid, Liu Xia stuck his tail, and moved the lid aside little by little.

The crying stopped abruptly.

That chilly atmosphere invaded the entire basement almost instantly, and the extreme coldness made the nearest He Lou shiver.The flame of the kerosene lamp in Shen Na's hand fluttered twice and went out completely.

The basement was plunged into darkness.

Liu Xia took out a lighter from his pocket and lit it, but for some reason, the flame went out as soon as it was lit, as if someone deliberately blew it out as a prank.He lit the lighter a few times but it didn't light up, so he put the lighter back into his pocket resentfully.

Now, there was no light in the basement.

"Lu, Lu Xiuxiu?" He Lou asked uncertainly.

"Lu Xiuxiu, is that you?" Shen Na asked in the same way, "Stop playing pranks and obey the rules."

After shouting for a while, the woman's cry came again, and the kerosene lamp was turned on again, illuminating the whole room with warm yellow and dim light.

"It's me... I'm here..."

The voice came from inside the coffin.

After the darkness just now, several people moved their positions, Liu Xia subconsciously walked to the position where the head of the coffin was pushed away, and looked down: "Why do you..."

Before he finished speaking, a pair of pale and bloodless arms stretched out from the coffin. These hands wrapped tightly around Liu Xia's neck, and then pulled hard. Before Liu Xia could react, the whole person was pulled into the coffin. Inside.

In the next second, the coffin lid slowly closed.

"Liuxia!!"

He Lou and Shen Naqiqi exclaimed, desperately trying to push the coffin lid, but no matter how hard they pushed, it was of no avail.After a while, the kerosene lamp flickered and the coffin lid moved.

The coffin lid, which required two grown men to push open, moved slowly towards the rear automatically at this moment.

As the coffin lid was removed, a pale woman in a red wedding dress slowly sat up.

He Lou and Shen Na suddenly stopped, and were taken aback for a moment.

They came to the basement to...

For...for finding Lu Xiuxiu and Ding Conglu!

Yes, Ding Conglu was locked up, and Shen Na asked Lu Xiuxiu to watch her.

But when they came to the basement, they only found Lu Xiuxiu trapped in the coffin, and she was wearing the wedding dress that Ding Conglu should have put on.

Did Ding Conglu run away? !

He Lou and Shen Na were furious for a moment, they stepped forward to help Lu Xiuxiu up.

Lu Xiuxiu sat in the coffin, stretched out her hand and slowly moved the coffin away. Her whole body was like a soft and cold snake. After sitting up, she stretched out her hand, grabbed the hands supporting the two along the inner wall of the coffin, and slowly moved out of the coffin. was dragged out.

The big red embroidered shoes dragged on the ground.

"It's too much! Ding Conglu's behavior is too much!" Shen Na was furious, "Xiuxiu, do you know where she went?"

Lu Xiuxiu shook her head slowly.

Shen Na was in a dilemma: "Then what should I do now? There will be a wedding banquet tomorrow."

He Lou lowered his face: "Speak to the village chief and ask the whole village to look for it." His expression was very ugly.

"What about after you find it?" A woman who dared to violate the village rules and run away from marriage, would Chen Zhenghao still marry her?

He Lou said, "Follow the rules."

He turned his head and glanced at Lu Xiuxiu who had already put on her wedding dress, and said, "Anyway, there will be a wedding banquet tomorrow, and now there is already a bride. Later, I will talk to Zhenghao, and the bride can be replaced by Lu Xiuxiu."

While speaking, they had already reached the entrance of the tunnel, Shen Na first climbed up the wall, and then reached down to meet them.He Lou supported Lu Xiuxiu so that Shen Na could pull her up.

As soon as she held that pale and cold hand, Shen Na shivered from the cold. She gathered herself together and pulled him up.

Next came He Lou and Lu Yanli.

From the beginning to the end, they never mentioned their companion Liu Xia who went down with them.
