The years of reselling the haunted house

Chapter 182 ghost marriage
The man seemed to be waiting for us and stood at the door.

I almost bumped into him when I opened the door.

I was startled, and upon closer inspection it was Xue Shouwen.At this moment, he was standing in the courtyard, staring at me and Pang Dahai with a pair of eyes.

I originally wanted to sneak back to the room, pretend nothing happened, and try to find out something from him the next day.Unexpectedly, when he came back, he was blocked by others.

"Uncle... Uncle, you haven't slept yet?" I murmured for a long time before saying something.

Xue Shouwen nodded, "Didn't you guys sleep too? Didn't I tell you not to go out?"

"We...we want to go to the toilet, but we can't find it...so..." I didn't want Xue Shouwen to know our details, so I wanted to say a few nonsense to fool it.

But the nonsense I made up may not even fool children.

Xue Shouwen listened, shook his head and sighed, and asked, "What did you see?"

I knew I couldn't hide it, so I just let it go.

"Uncle, we have seen everything we should see. We saw the procession of seeing off the relatives who left the village in the middle of the night, and we also saw Mrs. Jin..."

Xue Shouwen's expression changed, he glanced at the faces of me and Pang Dahai, and asked tentatively, "Then you...he..."

I took a step forward, grabbed Xue Shouwen's hand and said, "Uncle, it seems that you are an insider. My friend has been hit. Please help him."

Xue Shouwen was taken aback, and asked why.

I told Xue Shouwen what happened after we followed us out of the village.

After hearing this, Xue Shouwen stomped his feet: "You guys... I told you not to go out, but you just didn't listen. You are friends of Quangui, and Quangui kept telling me to take good care of you on the phone. But you..."

I waved my hand: "Uncle, it's not your fault. We are too curious, let's save my friend first."

Xue Shouwen greeted us: "Let's talk about it first."

As he spoke, he opened the courtyard door, probed out to have a look, and closed the door with his hands back.

When we got to the house, although it was already early morning, I didn't feel sleepy at all.On the contrary, Pang Dahai dozed off from time to time, and his energy was not very good.

"Uncle, is the fat man out of his body?"

Xue Shouwen smiled bitterly and said, "You think too highly of me. I have worked in this village for half my life, and I am just a farmer digging in the soil. How do I know what a soul is?"

I thought about it, too, and thought that I was still too impatient, something happened to the fat man, and I was a little sick and rushed to the doctor.If Xue Shouwen knew this, then Xue Quangui wouldn't have asked me to destroy that haunted house.

But Xue Shouwen changed the subject and said, "But I think he might have been caught by Mrs. Jin."

"Falled by Mrs. Jin? What's going on?"

Xue Shouwen asked: "When you came here, did you look at the things hanging on the big willow tree at the entrance of the village?"

I nodded and said with a wry smile: "It's not just for looking, we also opened a red cloth bag on it."

Xue Shouwen stomped his feet again: "I'll just say it. Sigh, you've caused a lot of trouble... Then... Can you just look at that thing? Blame me, blame me, I guessed that you were coming soon, so I went out of the village to meet you. When I saw you in the car, I thought you had just arrived, but who knew that you were already...I wish I had gone out a little earlier..."

"Isn't there a paper figure in the red cloth pocket? There's nothing to be afraid of, the customs in your place are really strange." Pang Dahai sat down and rested for a while, his complexion recovered, and he began to complain again.

Xue Shouwen said: "That's not a custom in our place. It's Jin Po who is marrying her daughter to the ghost... Have you looked at the pocket, did you take the money in it?"

I shook my head: "I didn't take it, we put it back after looking at it."

Xue Shouwen looked at Pang Dahai again: "What about you?"

"I... I didn't take it either..." Fatty looked a bit wrong, and he hesitated.

Xue Shouwen asked again: "Really didn't take it?"

"No...no..." Fatty's eyes were a little loose, and he answered very bluntly.

My heart moved, and I walked over to look through the fat man's pockets.

The fat man wouldn't let me move, and after several times of tearing, 100 yuan fell out of his pocket.

I grabbed the money and asked, "Didn't I tell you to put it back? You still took the money?"

"This... This is the money I left over from buying a kitchen knife." The fat man still didn't admit it.

Xue Shouwen walked over, grabbed the money, and unfolded it under the lamp for me to see.I saw that the money was densely written with runes.At that time, we were under the tree with poor light, so we didn't see these things at all.Obviously this is not ordinary money, but has been cursed.

I yelled at Pang Dahai: "Fatty, you let me down so much."

Pang Dahai now knew that he couldn't hide it, so he said to me: "Boss, I put all the change back. It's just this one, I thought about posting it back to my mother, so I can buy a few more bottles of medicine... I'm sorry ..."

I patted Pang Dahai on the shoulder: "Fatty, tell me not to do this when you have no money."

Fatty nodded.I asked Xue Shouwen again: "Uncle, what will happen if you take this money?"

Xue Shouwen glanced at Fat Dahai, and said, "I guess he will be chosen as the son-in-law of Mrs. Jin..."

"What the hell?" Fat Dahai was taken aback, stood up from the stool, and asked, "Then... that crazy girl... what joke are you talking about?"

Xue Shouwen sneered twice: "I don't have time to joke with you. It's true..."

I thought about it for a while, when we heard the sound of Chuichuida last night, we really suspected that someone was marrying a wife.Listening to what Xue Shouwen said now, it is really true.Why did you send off the relatives at night, because the match was a ghost marriage.

But I thought about it again, and something was wrong, so I asked: "No, uncle. Isn't Po Jin's daughter Qiaomei? She didn't die, how could she be suitable for a ghost marriage?"

At this time, I remembered that my third uncle seemed to have told me that the way of ghost marriage is also a custom.

Dark marriage is also called Yin marriage, which is to find a spouse for the dead.Some boys and girls die before they get married.The old people will think that if they don't get married for him, his ghost will play tricks and make the house uneasy.Therefore, a ghost marriage ceremony must be held for him, and a suitable ghost marriage partner must be found to make their souls become husband and wife. It is best to bury them together, so as to avoid solitary graves in the tombs of male and female families. .

Because the appearance of a lonely grave in the family will affect the prosperity of the descendants of the family house, and this effect may involve several generations.

Xue Shouwen waved his hand: "I don't understand this either. I only know that there are rumors in the village that the reason why Qiaomei went crazy was because of that marriage and later Jin Po's interference. So Jin Po wants to give Qiao Mei another Matching a husband is also to cure Qiaomei's madness. In fact, Jin Po has a high prestige in our village. Almost every household in our family has a child delivered by her, so if something happens to her family, we Everyone was anxious. As you can see, the people in our village escorted the team to see off the relatives out of the village, and it was also spontaneously done by the villagers."

I glanced at Xue Shouwen and asked: "I asked you yesterday, what did that Qiaomei call out, one two, two more, you didn't answer me at that time, you know the details, yes?"

Xue Shouwen nodded: "That's all. Since you asked, this little fat man had an accident again, I will tell you. How to deal with this matter, you can figure it out yourself? I just said that on the big willow tree The hanging red cloth bag was put by Jin Po. It is said that the offspring who are destined to pass by there will be attracted by the red cloth bag. Inside is Qiaomei’s dowry money, as well as her birthday horoscope and paper figurine. Whoever opens it will take it away. Whoever pays for the dowry will get the number. In fact, before you, several young people have already been recruited..."

I was taken aback, and asked, "What does it mean to be recruited? Since we still have to keep looking, how can you say that none of the younger generations are worthy of a ghost marriage?"

Xue Shouwen nodded: "It seems that Qiaomei didn't like it."

"What happened to those younger generations?"

Xue Shouwen glanced at me, hesitated to speak, and finally made up his mind, pointing to the direction of the back mountain: "They... are all buried in the back mountain..."
