Chapter 250 [The River God Marries a Wife]
"Don't make a sound."
A familiar voice rang in my ears, and I was relieved when I heard the voice.
But just when I wanted to turn around, I suddenly stepped on a dead branch in the ground, and a cracking sound sounded in the silent night.
"Oops."
I secretly screamed in my heart, because I found that the noise was a bit loud. The ghost on the opposite side must have noticed us and started looking around. At this moment, I felt someone pat my back, and something seemed to stick to me.
On my body.
"Keep your voice down, I put an invisibility charm on it, and the effect is only half an hour."
Qing Ming grabbed my hand and spoke in a deep voice.
I turned my head and saw that it was indeed Qing Ming. He was not wearing any clothes, his upper body was exposed to the air, and his chest was wrapped with white gauze. His bright eyes were staring at me, and his fingers were gently placed on my lips.
, signaling me not to make any more noise, I nodded, and then we hid under a big tree, using the big tree to cover our bodies.
The several bearers and the male ghost holding the suona did not notice us. Their eyes swept over our location, only stopping for a moment before turning around.
"What was the noise just now? No one was here. If someone familiar saw it, it would definitely spread."
The girl wearing a phoenix and a crown of clouds asked anxiously.
The male ghost holding the suona looked around again and said: "At this time, it should not be possible. Even if there is someone, it will be unlucky for him to delay the time of the River God and his wife to get his bride."
After hearing what this male ghost said, the bride breathed a sigh of relief. The surrounding air was a little depressing. She turned her beautiful eyes and asked again: "After I marry him, my family will not suffer and get a generous salary."
Don’t lie to me about the dowry.”
The male ghost holding the suona gave a stiff smile and said: "Of course not. The River God has taken a fancy to you a long time ago. Do you still remember three years ago? At that time, you were washing clothes by the river and the River God looked at you.
If you win, you can be the twenty-eighth wife of the River God, which is considered your blessing."
The bride frowned and said: "If I marry him, where will I live? Is there any dragon palace under the water? Let me tell you, I have been married by my family since I was a child. If the situation is not what I imagined,
Like that, I would rather marry my brother Bai, who is now a teacher outside after graduation. Although the salary is not high, he still eats the national food."
After hearing what the bride said, the four ghost bearers next to them suddenly looked sad, and then burst into laughter, which was very strange.
The man holding the suona listened and said with a smile: "You still think about your brother Bai? You haven't even seen him a few times. There can't be any dragon palace in the river. You don't really know the details.
If so, just be willing to get married."
"Then what does this marriage mean? Do you want me to die and become a ghost couple with him?"
The bride seemed to be aware of the troops and spoke coldly.
The male ghost holding the suona in his hand kept his expression unchanged and said, "That's natural. Otherwise, do you think a living person can go into the water? You must die before you can see the River God."
When the bride heard that she was going to die, her face changed and she almost shouted, "Then I won't go, I won't get married."
She was only twenty years old and in her prime, so how could she want to die?
After saying that, she turned around and was about to run away, but she was immediately caught by a strong wind and blown directly into the sedan. The thick curtain seemed to have cast a spell, and the bride suddenly became silent inside.
"The auspicious time has come and it's not up to you."
The male ghost holding the suona let out a laugh and looked into the distance. At this time, the sound of gongs and drums suddenly began to play in the distance. The male ghost picked up the suona and started playing. The sound of the suona and the gongs and drums sounded together, and they seemed to be talking to each other.
The response is general.
At the signal of the male ghost playing the suona, the four ghost bearers immediately raised the flower stand and stared into the distance with smiles on their faces.
After a while, a pair of ghosts welcoming brides appeared in front of me. There were about a dozen of these ghosts, all dressed very festively, but some of the ghosts were dressed in plain white, and they also had white ghost money.
Falling from the air, there are also tall white long sticks tied with white ribbons, dancing in the wind, and the surroundings are full of ghosts.
But what is strange is that the so-called river god they talked about was not seen.
The bearers began to move around carrying the sedan. The sedan seemed to be nothing in their hands, just as easy as picking up chopsticks. Their walking posture was very strange, and they were all about a foot above the ground.
The yin energy around the place became even worse, and some wandering ghosts began to come over to pick up money.
"Today is Lord River God's special day. You wandering ghosts usually don't have relatives to support you. You can save the money and maybe you can still buy something in the ghost market."
At this time, an old woman spoke. She was holding a flower basket, and in the flower basket was a thick stack of money. This old woman was also wearing Daxi clothes, her hair was tied up in a bun, and her lips were painted scarlet.
, she grinned widely, her eyes narrowed to slits, her arms like dead trees stretched out, grabbed the big money in the flower basket and scattered it around, while at the same time she quietly stuffed the money into her pocket.
"Qing Ming, what's going on?"
I looked at the sedan chair with some anxiety and asked.
"The water ghost takes a wife."
Qing Ming said calmly.
"But the bride is a living person, and how can a water ghost marry a wife?"
I am very confused, how can one person and one ghost achieve positive results? Besides, I also know this bride, and I absolutely cannot let her die.
Qing Ming glanced at the sedan chair that was gradually going away, and said: "It's impossible for a living person, but if she drowns, it will be different. Her soul will remain in the water. This water ghost should be somewhat famous, but it is definitely not
It will be the local city god, because the city god will never do such a thing. Why, seeing how anxious you are, does it mean you know the bride?"
I looked at Qing Ming's face that was gradually becoming colder and said, "Well, of course I know her. She is the youngest daughter of Uncle Chen's family in our village. Her name is Chen Xiaoning. We went to school together when we were children."
"It turns out we are childhood sweethearts, no wonder we are so nervous."
Qing Ming chuckled somewhat self-deprecatingly and spoke.
"Is your brain burned out? Even if you don't know someone, I will save you. If you are injured, just go back. I can still easily deal with these ghosts."
I glared at Qing Ming, said fiercely, then put two shrinking ground talismans on my feet and chased after him.
