Middle-aged Love Patch

Xu Youyuan worked with the little golden pig and finally took back most of the gold coins.At this time, Chen Ming crawled out of the mud again, patted the ashes on his body, and asked the two of them with a confused face:

"What happened, how did I faint?"

Both Xu Youyuan and Shi Yue looked at Chen Ming very vigilantly, he took one step forward, and they took two steps back.

"What's wrong with you? Don't you recognize me? I'm Chen Ming."

Chen Ming was puzzled, and suddenly found that his body was covered with mud and even some blood, so he asked Xu Youyuan and the others very sincerely, what happened just now.

Xu Youyuan saw that he didn't seem to be lying, maybe it was part of the plot, so she told him that he had just turned into a wild corpse.

Chen Ming was terrified when he heard it, and suddenly remembered one thing:

"When I was riding a tractor from a fellow countryman, I was told that there was a dead body on the tractor. I felt a little scared at the time, but in the wild mountains and mountains, there was only one living person from my fellow villager, and I didn't know the way. He kindly gave me a ride. How could I have the nerve to refuse? When I was on the tractor, I always felt the corpse touching my leg, so I was so scared that I kept asking my fellow villagers. The fellow laughed and said how timid I am. It’s a corpse, how could I move? What? It’s inevitable that the tractor will bump on the dirt road, and the corpse will hit you when it bumps. The bamboo hat covers most of his face, so you can't see his face clearly, maybe they are both ghosts, and they want to use the corpse to revive their souls."

Shi Yue was horrified when he heard what he said, and told him to shut up and stop talking.

Chen Ming seemed to have returned to normal, and the blood streaks on his head were gone.He was about to set off for Duantougou again, and it seemed that Duantougou was still the main task. Xu Youyuan and Shi Yue were on guard and headed south with Chen Ming.

After walking for 15 minutes, we arrived at Beheadu Village in Duantougou. At this time, it was already daylight, and there were several peasant women feeding chickens at the entrance of the village.The peasant woman's face was flushed red by the cold wind, and she was more lively, at least she looked like a normal living person, and Shi Yue's tense nerves were relieved to a certain extent.

Chen Ming went to the village to find the village chief, who was about 70 years old and well dressed, followed by two young men who looked at the visitors with wary eyes.

The son-in-law of the village chief is Chen Ming's distant cousin, and Chen Ming came back this time to attend his funeral.

Chen Ming asked where his cousin's mourning hall was so that he could send the old man for the last time, but the village chief actually told him that his cousin was not dead, but just seriously ill, and he could take him to see it now.

Standing aside, Xu Youyuan and Shi Yue already sensed the strange atmosphere, and the plot seemed to be a bit wrong.

Chen Ming's inner activities:

【Chen Ming was a little bit puzzled. Since his cousin was not dead, why did the village chief tell him that he was dead on the phone?And let him come back as soon as possible, is it because he wants him to come back to see his cousin for the last time?It sounds reasonable, after all, his parents are dead, and he is the only one left in the family.It's just... With doubts, Chen Ming followed the village chief to meet his cousin. 】

"Let's follow along too." Xu Youyuan and Shi Yue followed Chen Ming to the village, entered a house, and saw her cousin lying on the bed, his expression was indeed not very good.

Chen Ming sat next to his cousin and greeted him.The cousin just coughed and couldn't speak.

The village chief said: "Xiao Ming, you have seen the situation of your cousin. The doctor in the town said that he is in the terminal stage of some kind of cancer. There is no way to save him. He can only wait for death. Hey, but your cousin is only 40 It's a pity to die like this when you are so old and haven't had a baby yet."

Speaking of which, the village head patted Chen Ming's shoulder, and said earnestly: "I still remember that when you were young, your cousin visited you in the city and dragged a big bag of winter bamboo shoots there. He is very caring about your family. Now Cousin is in trouble, you can't stand by and watch."

Chen Ming was taken aback for a moment, and then he understood what the village chief meant. He took out all the RMB he was carrying and handed it to the village chief:

"You see, I really don't have any more. Now that the economic environment is so bad and the consumption in the city is high, I only have two thousand yuan left."

The village chief waved his hand and asked him to take back the money: "You are still a child, how can you ask for your money?"

Chen Ming was dumbfounded: "Then you mean..."

"Xiao Ming, do you remember Xiaoxiu?"

"You mean your granddaughter Xiaoxiu? I remember seeing pictures of her when I was a child."

"Xiaoxiu, she passed away two days ago..." the village chief lamented, and when he mentioned Xiaoxiu, his eyes were filled with tears, "She was only 15 years old, she hadn't been out of the house a few times, and she just died of illness like this .Her mother cried and went blind, and I haven't slept for two days. Look at my white hair. Two days ago, there wasn't even a single hair. Now it's all white."

Xu Youyuan and Shi Yue looked at Chen Ming's expression, it was obvious that he was in a state of complete confusion.

The village head said: "Your parents should have told you about you and Xiaoxiu."

Chen Ming hesitated and said, "You mean me and Xiaoxiu decided to get married?"

Village head: "Yes, yes, yes."

Chen Ming smiled awkwardly: "That was so many years ago, and now they are free in love, no one will think about baby kisses, besides, Xiaoxiu has already..."

Both Xu Youyuan and Shi Yue knew what Chen Ming wanted to say, Xiaoxiu was already dead, so why did you mention baby kissing?

"Could it be..." Shi Yue was the first to think of a terrible possibility.

"Yin Qin." Xu Youyuan also thought of it.

Sure enough, the village head said: "Yes, Xiaoxiu has already left first, but you can't go back on your engagement. Back then, your grandfather had already accepted the engagement gift, and now you are talking about free love. Do you want Xiaoxiu to die? It’s incomplete even if it’s broken, and you will be trapped in this house forever with unwillingness, will you never be able to rebirth?”

Hearing what the village head said was so serious, Chen Ming jumped up from his cousin's bed: "Well, I didn't mean that, I was..."

Before Chen Ming could finish speaking, the village chief said angrily, "Then what else do you mean? Don't you just want to go back on your word?"

Chen Ming couldn't argue: "I, this...you want me to have a relationship with Xiaoxiu, but I'm still alive."

The village chief said: "Don't delay, even if you are dead and betrothed, you will be betrothed. Even if she is alive, you still want to marry her. What's the difference? And now that your cousin is so sick, you two are married. You can still be happy, maybe his illness will be cured. You can kill two birds with one stone, what are you doing this and that. Do you think that after studying outside for two years, you will look down on people?" The village chief suddenly stepped forward One step, eyes widened and suddenly raised his voice, "You don't want to watch your cousin die, do you?!"

Seeing that Chen Ming's face was as white as paper, Xu Youyuan and Shi Yue touched his trousers, and subconsciously glanced at the door, clearly wanting to escape.

Who would want to marry a ghost?Even NPCs are scared.

Both Xu Youyuan and Shi Yue could tell that Chen Ming wanted to escape, and the village chief found out even more. The two vicious young men who had been following the village chief blocked Chen Ming from the left and right. From this posture, it seemed that as long as Chen Ming wanted to take a step forward, the two of them would beat him unconscious.

Chen Ming was so skinny that he was no match for these strong men. He took two steps back and almost sat on his uncle's face.

It wasn't just these two young men, Chen Ming found that there were many villagers standing outside his cousin's house, with black heads looking in from the window, all staring at him.

How could Chen Ming think that when he came back from thousands of miles, he actually sent sheep to the tiger's mouth.

The village chief patted him on the shoulder, and said to Chen Ming as if he was giving a heavy responsibility to the times: "Don't be too burdened with your thoughts, it's not as complicated as you think, that is, let you and Xiaoxiu follow the village's custom to do things for her. Just watch for one night. Later, you will take her memorial tablet back to the city and make a good offering, cleanse her body for five years, and she will naturally leave when her wish is fulfilled. At that time, if you want to marry another wife, no one will stop you looking at you."

Chen Ming: "Is it that simple?"

The village chief promised: "It's really that simple."

Chen Ming had no choice but to admit it.

Ghost marriages are generally not held during the day, and only after the sun has completely set at night can they start at a good time.

Beheading Village is located in Duantougou, a village buried deep in the mountains.Because the mountain road is difficult to walk, and there is almost no contact with the outside world, some feudal superstitions are still very popular, and Xiaoxiu even has a little maid who grew up with her since she was a child.

The little maid held Xiaoxiu's tablet and knelt together with Chen Ming in the hall of the village chief's house. Instead of festive red silk and satin hanging on the beams, they were all changed to white.Even Chen Ming's groom's suit and hat, and even the flowers on his chest turned white.The visiting relatives and friends were all dressed in white filial piety, and the scene looked horrifying.

Shi Yue and Xu Youyuan stood in the crowd, watching the people coming and going, guessing how the plot should proceed.

Xu Youyuan said: "Since it's a scary scene, something even more terrifying will definitely happen. I think Chen Ming should be unable to escape tonight."

"Could it be Xiaoxiu cheating on the corpse?" Just guessing Shi Yue already felt a chill.

Xu Youyuan: "Very likely."

The two were talking when the system prompted to come in.

[System prompt: Protect Chen Ming from death until dawn before clearing the level. 】

There were blood bars on Chen Ming's head, and the blood volume was very low, making him look like he would die easily.

Shi Yue's eyes darkened, she was really afraid of something.

After worshiping, Chen Ming was dragged into Xiaoxiu's former boudoir for them to have a bridal chamber.

Chen Ming: "What?! And a bridal chamber? With a dead man..."

Chen Ming was pushed into the room. When the door was opened, a gust of cool wind blew through. Inside the small room was an open coffin. Inside the coffin was the corpse of a little girl, with a horrible dead makeup painted on her face.

The small face is as white as covered with flour, the red lips are extremely bright, and there are two big red carmine on the face, the white clothes and embroidered shoes, I feel like I will open my eyes at any time.

Chen Ming just looked at Xiaoxiu and was already so frightened that his legs went limp. The village chief took the opportunity to have the door closed and locked, and he was not allowed to come out until dawn.

The village chief and others didn't know whether they left or hid in the dark to observe secretly. The moment the door closed, everything was quiet, and the corpse in the coffin looked even more terrifying.

The village chief and the others seemed unaware of the existence of Xu Youyuan and Shi Yue, and they were locked in the room with Chen Ming.

Chen Ming sat on the chair first, then stood up again after a while, and turned around the room, but his eyes would fall on the corpse every two seconds.

Chen Ming kept telling himself to "keep awake and stay awake", walking back and forth was also to prevent some terrible things from happening when he fell asleep, and wanted to get through the night fully awake.

Unexpectedly, the more he wanted to wake up, the more it backfired.

The room seemed to be lit with a strange incense, which made Chen Ming more and more sleepy. Finally, he couldn't take it anymore, and sat on the corner farthest from the coffin, tilted his head, and soon fell asleep.

Shi Yue and Xu Youyuan also started to feel drowsy, they kept telling each other not to sleep, cheer up, but finally their vision was completely dark.

"I can't see anything." Shi Yue told Xu Youyuan on the private channel.

"Me too." Xu Youyuan said, "But I can still hear some movement, so listen carefully."

Shi Yue pricked up his ears in the darkness: "It sounds like the sound of squeezing wood, could it be..."

His eyes suddenly brightened, and he was able to see again. As soon as Shi Yue opened his eyes, he saw a blue-black hand resting on the side of the coffin, and Xiaoxiu, who looked like a paper prick, was slowly sitting up from the coffin.

Chen Ming, who woke up with Shi Yue and the others, saw this scene and screamed heart-piercingly.

"Are you... my...husband?" Xiaoxiu's voice was like the sound of a saw cutting through wood, which made people very uncomfortable.

She stared at Chen Ming in the corner, her face was covered by long hair, she couldn't see her appearance clearly at all, she just felt the chill in the room was overwhelming, making her dizzy.

Chen Ming jumped up, knocked on the door frantically, and shouted: "Let me out quickly, there is something wrong with letting me out!"

No one opened the door for him outside, no matter how hard he slammed on the door, the door still didn't move at all, and he couldn't escape at all.

The female ghost Xiaoxiu smiled strangely, almost floating out of the coffin: "You are my husband... Let's have a good wedding tonight, come on, come on..."

Chen Ming burst into tears, and Shi Yue was also sweating, not knowing where to attack the female ghost.To be honest, let alone attacking this female ghost, she didn't even want to touch it.

When the female ghost Xiaoxiu was about to float out of the coffin, her movements stopped suddenly.

Her movements froze for a moment, and she wanted to lift it up again, but she was still held down and couldn't move.

"Who!" the female ghost Xiaoxiu scolded.

Xu Youyuan stood beside the coffin, holding the female ghost Xiaoxiu's head with one hand, preventing her from getting out of the coffin.

"How old are you this year?" Xu Youyuan asked very seriously.

The female ghost Xiaoxiu seemed to have met the dean, she was taken aback for a moment, and replied: "15 years old."

"15 years old, underage! What kind of bridal chamber?! Go back!" Xu Youyuan pushed her back into the coffin.

Before the female ghost Xiaoxiu could react, she had already fallen back into the coffin.

Xu Youyuan immediately shouted to Shi Yue: "Hurry up and put the lid on the coffin! Don't let her come out again!"

When Xu Youyuan shouted, Shi Yue had already started to move. With the blessing of appearance, she could lift the heavy coffin lid by herself and throw it towards the coffin.

Feeling that she was being teased, the female ghost Xiaoxiu was about to get up, but was covered by the flying coffin, she wailed, and lay down again.

Chen Ming also came up to help, and the three of them clasped the coffin firmly together. The female ghost Xiaoxiu struggled crazily inside. Chen Ming simply sat on the coffin lid, being jolted by the female ghost like a wild cowboy.

"Where are the nails? It's safest to nail the coffin lid!" Xu Youyuan shouted.

This question seemed to go beyond Chen Ming's setting range, he didn't respond, Shi Yue asked, "Will there be a firewood room?"

At this moment, the entire coffin burst, and the female ghost Xiaoxiu struggled out from below, her arms swept away, and the three of them flew out together and fell to the ground.

Chen Ming's blood bar was reduced by half immediately, and he almost spit out blood. He was completely a glass man, and it would shatter if he touched it.

Xu Youyuan couldn't let him get hurt again, she pulled out her dagger in front of him, and asked Shi Yue: "Can your little golden pig attack again?"

Shi Yue said: "Its mouth is swollen, it can no longer be used, it needs to rest for a while."

Xu Youyuan gave a "tsk", and could only bite the bullet.

But the female ghost Xiaoxiu didn't have a blood strip on top of her head, which meant that she, like the green snake and white snake, couldn't be eliminated by attacking.

What to do then?

Without any task prompts, and without waiting for Xu Youyuan to figure it out, the female ghost Xiaoxiu swung her arms, and two white silks flew in the air, wrapping around the necks of Chen Ming and Xu Youyuan, trying to strangle them to death.

The blood bars of the two dropped rapidly. In desperation, Shi Yue suddenly remembered that she was wearing the appearance of a Taoist priest. She grabbed into the Taoist robe and grabbed a lot of yellow talisman papers. The ghost threw it.

Unexpectedly, those yellow talisman papers are really lethal to ghosts. When the talisman papers touch the female ghost, they will cause a burst of burning pain.

"Don't throw it away!"

Seeing that the talisman paper was effective, Shi Yue immediately grabbed two more and scattered them all over the sky, then drew out the mahogany sword, and aimed at the female ghost with a sword.

The female ghost was screeching loudly from being scalded by the talisman paper, when Shi Yue gave her another sword, which just pierced her heart.

The female ghost Xiaoxiu suddenly became quiet, she looked down at the sword piercing her chest, then at Shi Yue, and said helplessly:

"I don't even have a blood strip on the top of my head, what a fart you are."

Shi Yue didn't expect the female ghost to scold her suddenly: "You suddenly crawled out of the coffin, I can't get you back, and you have to blow up the coffin, it looks like you want to eat people, if I don't stab you, who will I stab?"

Female ghost Xiaoxiu: "Isn't that how ghosts appear on stage? It must have a burst effect. Can someone who sits down and talks about life with you still be a ghost?"

Shi Yue's eyes widened: "You're a ghost arguing with me for this truth? Aren't you just the one to fight in this scene!"

Perhaps it was Shi Yue's words that triggered some key words in the intelligent dialogue, and the female ghost Xiaoxiu yelled at her very smoothly: "It's a fault that you can poke your chest casually? I'm only 15 years old! I'm underage!"

What a hell, in every sense of the word.

Seeing this scene, Xu Youyuan almost burst out laughing, and handed the bottle to Chen Ming, asking him to take a couple of sips first to recover his blood.

Now that the female ghost can talk, it will be much easier.

Xu Youyuan walked up to the female ghost Xiaoxiu and asked her: "You don't have a blood bar on your head, which means we don't need to fight. Can you tell us how to pass your level?"

Xu Youyuan's words triggered the main task, and Xiaoxiu squatted on the ground with a sigh:

"I died too early, and there are still many wishes that have not been fulfilled. As long as my wishes are fulfilled, I will be satisfied and leave this world."

Xu Youyuan asked: "Then what is your wish?"

The female ghost Xiaoxiu raised her head, and her face, which was painted with dead makeup, was filled with a tinge of youthful emotion: "My only wish is to be in love, to be in love, to be in love."

Xu Youyuan and Shi Yue looked at Chen Ming at the same time. Chen Ming received the look that everyone was looking forward to, and then looked at the scary face of the female ghost. He rolled his eyes and passed out.

Shi Yue: "Damn?!"

She stepped forward and pulled Chen Ming up, shaking him vigorously: "Your family's evil, you are so embarrassed to faint at this time! Get up for me!"

No matter how Shi Yue shakes him, Chen Ming remains motionless as if dead.

At this moment, a red countdown floated in the sky.

[System prompt: Complete the wish of the female ghost Xiaoxiu within two hours, otherwise she will become a runaway ghost and the mission will fail. 】

The female ghost Xiaoxiu propped her chin expectantly: "I just want to fall in love, anyone is fine, come and fulfill my wish."
