Wei Dong opened his eyes and found himself lying on the bed in the bedroom.

It was pitch black all around, and the cool wind was blowing in through the wide open windows, and the curtains fluttered wantonly with the wind.

He stared at the ceiling for a while, remembered something, quickly sat up, and turned on the incandescent lamp above his head.

The village is especially quiet late at night, with no sound to be heard.

Wei Dong rubbed the center of his brows, only to feel that his head was in chaos.Everything was too strange and weird, he thought hard, but couldn't remember what happened afterwards, and how he got home.

The memory seems to be broken, one second he was still in the back mountain, but the next second he appeared on the bed inexplicably.

Wei Dong stretched out his hand to get the phone, only then did he feel a dull pain in the palm of his hand, and when he lifted it up, his palm was flushed red, as if he had been hit by something.

Vaguely, he remembered something that forcibly opened his palm, stretched out his hand and hit him hard, and his hand was instantly red.

There was also a deep and pleasant voice asking: "Why are you so disobedient?"

Those words still echoed in his ears, Wei Dong was trembling with numbness, goose bumps all over his body were about to rise.

How old is he, yet he was beaten in the palm of his hand as a way of punishing a child, it is too much, he is not such a bully.

Wei Dong felt that his dignity was being challenged. If a man is a man, he can fight as fast as he can. What is this?

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly saw a fire light outside the window, the light flickered on and off, in the silent and dark night, it was a bit cold and strange.

Wei Dong stood up, walked to the window and looked out.

The window of his room was facing a small road. At this time, a large group of people walked silently on the road, which seemed to be a funeral procession.

The people walking in front held up the white flags, and the banners swayed with the wind, the people behind held the portraits, a few people carried the dark coffin, and a few people threw paper money high along the way.

The relatives were dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, and their numb faces looked a little gloomy under the yellow light of the fire.

The entire funeral procession was suppressed and silent, and even the sobbing in a low voice was suppressed to the extreme.

Wei Dong glanced, and was about to look away when a piece of yellow paper money was blown onto the window sill by the wind.

He touched the paper money with his fingertips, but before he could react, the middle-aged man holding the portrait below suddenly raised his head, looking fixedly at him with cloudy eyes.

Wei Dong was startled, smiled apologetically at the man, and prepared to close the curtains.

A funeral in the middle of the night shows that the deceased is still very young, and there is no need to make extravagant arrangements for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person. Just take advantage of the dead of night and quietly carry it to the burial.

When pulling the curtains, Wei Dong casually glanced out of the corner of his eye, and found that under the firelight, the person on the portrait looked very familiar.

But it was too far away, and he couldn't see very clearly.

He had a surprised expression, which was almost hard to hide. He paused for a moment, then rushed downstairs as fast as he could, and walked around the man to take a closer look.

The man's expression was numb, his hair was half white, he just walked forward and didn't pay much attention to Wei Dong.

When Wei Dong saw the familiar face on the portrait at close range, he was instantly stunned and forgot how to think.

The person on the portrait has short hair, a slightly fat face, and a bright smile. It is Lin Ai.

But this afternoon, he had just met Lin Ai in the back mountain, and had talked to her so much, how could she have died?

Could it be that what he saw in the back mountain was a dead man?

The more Wei Dong thought about it, the more absurd he felt, and the materialistic scientific view in his head was crumbling.

He ended up not even remembering how he got home.

Grandma Wei stood in the yard with a cattail fan in her hand. When she saw Wei Dong, she asked, "Where did you go without sleeping? Are you all right? Why are you so out of your mind?"

"It's okay." Wei Dong shook his head, not planning to mention meeting Lin Ai: "I can't sleep, so I just walked around. That's it?" He said while looking at the funeral procession.

Grandma Wei looked at the team and sighed, "That's the people from the Lin family up there. They work outside the village all the year round and rarely go back to the village. This time they came back to the village to move the grave, but my daughter couldn't think about it for a while and ran to the village. Houshan hanged herself, and when her family found out, it was too late. Speaking of which, I saw her when she was young. She was smart and sensible. It was a pity. I heard that she had some psychological problems, and her parents never paid attention to her. , the usual study pressure is too great, so because she didn’t perform well in the college entrance examination, she went to extremes on impulse. Now her parents also regret it, they shouldn’t push their children so much, but what’s the use of regretting?”

Wei Dong's eyelids twitched when he heard it: "Grandma, do you still remember her name?"

Grandma Wei lowered her head in thought, and murmured, "Lin...Lin Ai? It seems to be the name. Why did you suddenly ask this?"

"It's nothing, just ask." Wei Dong gave up on Lin Ai's matter, and asked another strange thing: "By the way, grandma, do you know how I came back this afternoon?"

Grandma Wei was stunned, then quietly looked away, and said with a smile: "What's the matter with you kid? You keep asking weird questions. Of course you walked back by yourself. Could it be that someone will carry you on your back and hug you?"

Wei Dong heaved a sigh of relief, and walked towards the living room with his grandma. He remembered something and asked curiously: "Grandma, you said earlier that these lanterns are hung in the village for weddings. Why didn't he know about it when I met Uncle Yang today? Remind me to stay away from the lantern, what the hell is this..."

Before he finished speaking, Grandma Wei interrupted hastily: "You child, why are there so many questions, endless, can grandma lie to you? Okay, it's so late, go back to sleep quickly, don't stay here have a bee in one's bonnet."

Wei Dong wanted to say something else, but when he saw grandma's sleepy face, he stopped talking and returned to the room with his head full of question marks.

Just lying on the bed, he still couldn't fall asleep, and what Lin Ai had said echoed repeatedly in his mind.

Who is that "he"?Why is Lin Ai so afraid of "him"?Even mentioning the existence of "him" is extremely frightening.

And what does the phrase "Once caught by him, you can never escape" mean?

The next day, Wei Dong stayed at home and didn't go anywhere.

At twelve o'clock in the evening, when he was about to go to bed, grandma suddenly knocked on the door and came in, handing him a set of bright red wedding clothes.

The wedding dress was exquisite and solemn, very heavy, elegant and unique in style, with intricate patterns embroidered by hand, revealing details everywhere, impeccable, it was carefully prepared at first glance, and was of great value.

Wei Dong was stunned for a moment: "Grandma, what is this?"

Grandma Wei looked at the wedding dress, then at Wei Dong, with a heavy heart, and her smile faded a little: "This is the wedding dress from the bridegroom. It is said that the groom has something urgent to go to the city, and he won't be able to make it in a while. , your figure is just about the same as his, so ask me to give it to you for a try, and see if it fits first. You...you can try it if you want to, and forget it if you don’t want to."

Regarding grandma's words, Wei Dong didn't think much about it: "Okay, grandma, please let this go first, and I'll try it later."

Trying Xifu is nothing more than a small effort, and it is nothing to him.

Grandma Wei nodded hesitantly, and said nothing more. After putting down her wedding clothes, she turned around and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, she suddenly noticed something, and suddenly turned her head to look out the window with fierce eyes.

Wei Dong also followed the sound, but he saw nothing except the dark and thick night.

Just for a moment, he seemed to hear some scattered screams, mixed with fear, and disappeared without a trace.

After grandma left, Wei Dong picked up his wedding clothes and observed carefully.

Xifu is available from the inside to the outside, the inner garment is soft and comfortable, the outer robe is exquisite and grand, and the hand-embroidered birds and animals are vivid, just like the real thing.

He drew the curtains and slowly tried on one by one.

The wedding dress is very heavy and heavy, but it also complements the temperament very much after wearing it.Moreover, Wei Dong also found that Xifu was tailored properly, as if it was tailor-made for him.

He dressed up and stood in front of the mirror, for a moment he didn't recognize the person in the mirror.

Wei Dong was already good-looking, with exquisite and flawless features, and with this tailor-made wedding dress, he looked even more charming.Standing there, it is like a fairy-like figure walking out of the painting.

He carefully looked back and forth, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it. He admired it silently for a while, and even took a few photos with his mobile phone as souvenirs. He secretly thought that when he got married in the future, he would follow this style, and it was a perfect match for him.

After taking the photo, Wei Dong lay on the bed and sent the photo to Lin Xiaoyu so that he could admire Brother Dong's beauty in prosperity.

But Lin Xiaoyu may have fallen asleep at this point, and has not responded to the message.

Wei Dong was playing with his mobile phone, preparing to lie down and then get up to change clothes, but when he was lying down, his upper eyelids and lower eyelids began to fight, and he fell asleep before he knew it.

When he opened his eyes again, he realized that something was wrong around him.

The light outside the window was so bright that it pierced through the curtains. Apart from that, the surroundings were full of noise and chattering, but they couldn't really hear it.

Full of suspicion, Wei Dong opened the curtains, and was surprised to find that the red lanterns hanging on the treetops outside were all lit up.

Under the pitch-black night, the whole Xiaoli Village was lit up with red light, covering the sky and covering the sky, looking from a distance, it looked like a sea of ​​red.

This picture is so stunning and shocking, Wei Dong is unknowingly attracted by it.

He went downstairs and walked out of the yard, and found that there were still many strangers gathered around the lantern.

Those people's faces were pale, without any blood at all. When they heard the footsteps, they turned their heads to look over, their eyes were strange and excited.

After a brief silence, they quickly started chatting and discussing like a frying pan.

"It's not good, it's not good, why did he run out like this? It seems that he can still see us."

"But he looks really good in the wedding dress. The hag just now was too fierce, so we are not allowed to see it."

"Of course, if you don't look good, can you be worthy of adults? What adults like is naturally the best. You should also restrain yourself, don't stare at it all the time, let adults know, sooner or later your eyes will be poached."

"Got it, got it, I'm really looking forward to the wedding, and I can still have a glass of wedding wine then."

"........."

The rustling sound rang in his ears, Wei Dong half understood what he heard, and didn't stay too long, following his instinct to walk in front of the lantern.

Along the way, he met many new faces, all of whom stared at him with surprised and strange eyes, which made Wei Dong's hair stand on end.

He had an intuition that all of this was not quite right, and his pace quickened unknowingly.

In a daze, he walked to a majestic and majestic palace.

The palace is gloomy and densely shrouded in darkness. Beside the gate of the palace stands a five-meter-tall ghost.

Looking at the ferocious ghost, Wei Dong didn't know how he got here, as if he was guided by something somewhere.

He was anxious and uneasy, and after hesitating for a while, he still walked in through the palace door.

Different from the coldness and eerieness outside the hall, the inside of the hall is decorated with bright red silk and lanterns everywhere, full of joy, without any paradoxical atmosphere.

Affected by the environment, Wei Dong also relaxed.

He wandered around aimlessly, wandering around, and suddenly stopped when he saw something.

In the main hall ahead, a tall and straight figure stood with his back facing him.

The man was wearing a scarlet wedding dress of the same style as him, with a dark auspicious cloud wooden hairpin on his head, and the rest of his black hair scattered randomly, with a calm demeanor, even if he looked at him from such a distance, it was difficult to hide his unoffensive aura.

"The wedding dress has been delivered?" the man suddenly asked.

His voice was cool, but unexpectedly deep and pleasant, and his posture was obviously superior, but there was no disobedience.

Immediately, someone replied respectfully: "Go back to the emperor and send it. Young Master Wei should have tried it on by now."

The man nodded when he heard the words, and looked carefully at the wedding clothes on his body, obviously in a good mood.

At this moment, he suddenly noticed something, turned his head quickly, and looked straight at Wei Dong's direction.
