husband from hell

Chapter 36
I couldn't help but widen my eyes, how did the coffin open?I didn't see anyone open the lid of the coffin. Looking at the movement of the lid, it seemed that someone was lying in the coffin and pushed the coffin away by itself!
The mouth of the coffin was exposed, and it was dark inside, and nothing could be seen. The musicians on both sides shook their heads and played more vigorously. At this time, a shadowy figure came, reaching into the coffin, as if to put it in something.

Could it be that they are packing up and taking the coffin away?It's really strange that they don't make coffins during the day, but at night, with drums and gongs.

And... Lulu is fine, the coffin should be empty, so it can just be transported away, and I don't know what to do with the lid of the coffin, maybe there is something special about it.

I was going to go out and ask. They are all relatives, and they are here for Lulu. If there is anyone who can help, I will help. The aunt's voice said: "I tell you, you must not go out."

The voice also said: "There is something good tonight."

It must be a so-called good thing to invite a group of people who beat gongs and drums to disturb the people in the middle of the night.

However, Tanshen Village does have a lot of particularities. It seems that Lulu came back to life together, and there are some corresponding customs.I plan to be more cautious, and I should read it first before I speak. I don’t understand anything, so don’t help others. Thinking of this, I retracted my feet.

Under the very dim light, the group of people could only vaguely see a figure, and they didn't know what clothes they were wearing, but they could barely tell that they were all wearing long trousers and long coats, and they looked a bit bloated.

Looking at it in a daze, it looks like a big rice dumpling.

I don't mind it a bit, I wear such thick clothes during the dog days, I can't bear it even at night, and I don't wear this anti-mosquito, but I feel relieved when I think about it, the mosquitoes in Tanshen Town are notoriously vicious, Without any preventive measures, they are merciless, and they are sure to give people a red envelope.

Just as he was thinking wildly, the person who put things into the coffin just now seemed to have finished the job, straightened up, and closed the coffin lid again.

Now I understand, maybe I didn't see clearly just now because of the angle problem, the coffin lid may have been pushed down in the dark, when the coffin lid was closed, but after that person pushed the coffin lid, unexpectedly Start to circle around the coffin among those people beating gongs and drums clockwise.

The more I looked, the more confused I became, and I didn't know what to do. I felt a little panicked in my heart, but I have seen a little bit of the world with Cheng Ke anyway, and my psychological endurance is much stronger than before I met Cheng Ke. It was a matter of my relatives, so I didn't think about anything else, I planned to see what it was all about.

I saw the person circling around the coffin faster and faster, like a spinning top, which was amazing.

After walking around for a long time, the person who was circling suddenly stopped and shouted: "I can't go!"

The voice couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman, it was rough and dry, and it could only be heard that it must be quite old.

As soon as the people playing music nearby stopped their work, one of them asked, "Why can't you leave?"

The person circling replied: "There are dragons."

I feel cold, I... I am a dragon!
The rest of the people asked, "Where is the dragon?"

The person circling shook his head and said, "I don't know."

A group of people began to complain and complain. The general meaning is that things have been done to this level, why didn't they find out something before, meaning they are complaining to each other, and they are a little bit regretful, and a little bit helpless.

As soon as my scalp exploded, I felt goosebumps all over my body. What's going on? Who's in the way of a dragon?

No, wait a minute, I suddenly remembered that in Tanshen Town, there is a situation where people who belong to the dragon are not allowed to go, that is...the wedding ceremony!
Other than that, I really don't know where else to go!

Those who belong to the dragon and the tiger are called "big zodiac signs". On the one hand, they are blessed, but they also have evil spirits. Some people have small zodiac signs and cannot hold back. So the appearance of people like us will be taboo.

When I came to live here when I was a child, my grandma told me that when someone gets married, you must not run over to join in the fun. So-and-so hired a video shooter when they got married, but they didn’t ask clearly. It turned out that the video shoot happened to be a Those who belong to the dragon, the couple did not get well in the end.

I still remember asking, how come it didn't get better?Grandma didn't tell me, but told me to remember it anyway, so don't cause trouble for others.

So I was very impressed, but on other occasions, my grandma never told me that she taboos me.

My heart suddenly tightened. The ceremony of going around the coffin and getting married are completely irrelevant. If there is a connection, there can only be one connection, and that is... a ghost marriage!
Ever since I stepped into my second uncle's house, I felt that something was not quite right. At first, those unfamiliar people surrounded the coffin, and the mourning clothes, didn't they just look like the wedding clothes?
Moreover, the old lady in the shroud kept saying that she came to help for a happy event!

When I think about it together, my back shudders. These people outside are actually holding a ghost wedding ceremony?
But if Lulu is really gone, then I can understand, maybe because of the customs in the village, the second uncle and the second aunt came to match her with a ghost marriage so that Lulu could have a smooth funeral and a cemetery, so that It is conceivable that she has a shelter under the spring, but Lulu is not dead at all. If it is a ghost wedding ceremony, who can this ghost marriage be allocated to?What kind of trouble is it!
At the same time, those individuals began to rummage, still muttering: "There can be no ones who belong to the dragon... there must be no ones who belong to the dragon..."

The nagging for a while made my scalp tingle. This group of people, looking at the situation, do they have to encircle and suppress me in order to make their own affairs go smoothly!

Thinking of this, I feel that although I don't know what this custom is, but right now I am indeed causing trouble to others, so I should go back quickly and sleep with my head covered. The house I live in, these questions, I will ask my second uncle tomorrow.

When I was eating in the living room on the first floor just now, I didn’t see any other relatives or guests. According to what my second uncle said, I guess they are all on the second and third floors. There should be only me and Cheng Ke here.

The small western-style building of my second uncle's house was built like a hotel, with rooms on both sides of the corridor next to each other. I walked out in a daze, completely forgetting which one it was.

But when I think of Cheng Ke, I feel like wearing an amulet. I have a sense of security, thinking that it’s okay to open the wrong door. Anyway, there is no one else, so I touch it. According to my memory, I opened a door to try my luck. .

The room in my house is usually not locked, so I opened the doorknob as soon as I turned it, and the light was off inside. Through the light in the corridor, I could barely distinguish a person standing behind my back, standing by the window It looked like something in front of me, with long hair on the head and a thin body. I was startled, and I said quickly: "I'm sorry, I went to the wrong door."

That person ignored me.

I apologized, and quickly shrank my neck and came out, cursing my memory, I can forget everything, but I can't forget to eat.

Hey, it’s not this one, it might be the one in the middle. I went up and unscrewed the one in the middle, but I was dumbfounded again. Why is there a person standing behind my back just like the room just now? In front of the window, the head is full of long hair!

This is too unbelievable!It's as if I went back to the room just now, as far as I can see, that thin figure, that posture, are all exactly the same!

"Ahem..." I cleared my throat, and said boldly, "I seem to have made a mistake, sorry!"

This time I kept my eyes open and didn't close the door so quickly, hoping to hear what this person had to say.

But this person just stood there in a daze, without any reaction.

When I saw this, I said again: "This master's family is my second uncle. I don't know my sister, which relative is it?"

The man still ignored me.

"Have you found the one that belongs to the dragon?" The voice outside was still rustling: "Hurry up, or it will be too late!"

As soon as I heard it, I felt that I was too much in the way, and I couldn't care about anything else, so I closed the door and continued to open the third room. The house I live in is not the beginning or the end, and the two rooms just now are neither. It must be this one.

I just opened the door and went in, but the woman who was exactly the same as in the two rooms just now was still standing there!

In this world, even if there are triplets, there should not be identical triplets. Everyone stands in a room and is doing the same thing!

Things are abnormal, and what is abnormal cannot be more abnormal!
I hesitated for a moment, and said directly: "Sister, is this your house?"

The long-haired man was exactly the same as the two I saw just now, but he didn't say anything.

Moreover, it was obviously midsummer, and there was no air conditioner in this room, but when the door was opened, a cold air came oncoming.

This cold air came out, and I felt very familiar all of a sudden, isn't it similar to the cold air brought by Cheng Ke?
"Da da da..." The room was completely silent, but the musicians outside were already in disarray, and they were still yelling: "There is nothing wrong with dragons!"

At the same time, a low voice in the room said: "I have avoided you three times."

I was taken aback for a moment, what this meant... the figures of the two people I saw just now were also her?

I don't know what's wrong with me, I was so violent, I stretched out my hand to "snap" and turned on the light switch without saying a word. Unexpectedly, at the moment when the light was bright, something suddenly came from my side , Like a gust of wind, it blew out the door!

I blinked my eyes, suspecting that I had seen it wrong, but when I looked up, I found that this was exactly the room Lulu pointed out to me, and my bag was still on the bed!But in front of the window, there is nothing!

I felt chills all over my body, and I remembered it all at once. By the way, my grandma told me that when people live in a house that I don’t live for a long time, I should open the door for 5 minutes first, so that those who should come can come. Let's go, and then enter the house.

This is called "Liu Men", and it is also a habit of Tanshen Village!Yes... The guest rooms of my second uncle's house must have been unoccupied for a long time. I opened them as soon as I said they would, but I forgot to "leave the door"!Isn't it a taboo?

After closing the door, she sat down on the bed in shock, so to speak, that thing just now was...

"Da da da..." Noisy footsteps sounded outside the door, as if many people had rushed up and were walking outside.

My heart was throbbing, and I couldn't help but feel guilty. If I really hindered others from doing things because of this zodiac sign, and I couldn't hide inside, what should I say?
No, I became confused again, if I didn't say it, who would know that I am actually a dragon?

The footsteps sounded endlessly, and I was worried, thinking that someone would knock on the door to question me, but after waiting for a long time, no one came.

Moreover, why is Cheng Ke not here? Could it be that he will obediently live in the guest room that Lulu pointed out to him?How could he be such an obedient person!

"Are you back?" Cheng Ke's voice suddenly sounded suddenly, as if he had a heart-to-heart, and I shivered in fright. When I looked back, he suddenly appeared, leaning lazily on the bed, and said: " Went to watch the fun?"

Cheng Ke's white shirt was slightly loose, the window was open, and the night wind blew his neckline, revealing a slender neck and a sharp collarbone.

really... so beautiful...

No, no, this is not the time to think wildly, I became a nympho at some point, I quickly interrupted my useless thoughts, and I asked Cheng Ke: "Why did you go there just now?"

Cheng Ke sat up and stared at me, Tao Hua's eyes slightly bent: "I also went to watch the excitement, but unfortunately, the excitement was ruined by a dragon."

Of course I knew he was talking about me, so I said very unhappy: "You also know this custom in Tanshen Town? Then what are you doing outside?"

Cheng Ke smiled slightly and said, "Didn't you see it?"

"Is it really a ghost marriage?" The doubts in my heart grew bigger and bigger like a snowball, and I couldn't help asking: "Lulu didn't die at all, who married whom?"

"Well, just ask our second uncle and second aunt." Cheng Ke tilted his head and said with a smile: "Now, don't you also know why Lulu committed suicide?"

Ever since I found out that Lulu was fine, I was so happy. At first, I wanted to ask her what happened to her, but I was afraid of touching her heart, so I suppressed my doubts, thinking that she was fine. chant.

But Cheng Ke's question aroused my curiosity again.

That's right, the second aunt never mentioned it, and neither did the second uncle. Before, the second aunt called my mother, and I also wanted to tell my mother that I was safe, but the mobile phone had no signal. Didn't see the landline.

"It's very lively outside." Cheng Ke stood up and said, "But I might not be able to see it today. Go to sleep, I'll watch over you."

Saying that, he pulled me into his arms with ease.

"I don't need you to guard me!" Thinking of Cheng Ke's actions, I just felt hot on my face, and quickly pushed him away, but Cheng Ke always hugged me horizontally in front of me regardless of whether I wanted to or not. He put it in his arms, put it on the bed, and pulled out an evil smile from the corner of his mouth: "I have something to show you."

There is no air-conditioning in the guest room, and it is a bit stuffy in this midsummer night, but as long as Cheng Ke is by his side, he feels refreshed—he seems to be made of ice.

Being so close to him, my heart thumped: "What?"

"Snap!" Cheng Ke snapped his slender fingers, and the light went out immediately. My eyes went dark, and I couldn't help being stunned, full of wonder, turn off the light, what do you want me to see?
Suddenly, a few green things popped out from nowhere, and then, more and more, like stars all over the sky fell into this room in an instant, gathering and scattered, fluttering, like flowers, It's like a falling Milky Way, like broken dreams.

He said he went to watch the fun, but in fact, did he catch fireflies?

"Does it look good?" In the darkness, I couldn't see Cheng Ke's face clearly, only his clear, low voice rang in my ear: "Do you like it?"

I nodded, but then I realized that I don't know whether he can see it or not. It looks good, it's really good-looking, it's so good-looking, it's like an illusion that can't be done.

No one has ever caught fireflies for me, never.

"I remember you like it." Cheng Ke's voice seemed to be filled with thoughts thousands of miles away: "I always remember."

I don't remember, did I mention this?
However, who doesn't like such a scene?
I opened my mouth, I really didn't know what to say, my thoughts were spinning in my throat, and finally I could only say one sentence: "Thank you."

Cheng Ke's cool lips touched my forehead for the first time: "As long as you are happy, even if you want the stars in the sky, I only want you to be happy."

"You..." I only felt a slight tremor in my heart, a little sweet and a little sour, and more of a kind of throbbing that I had never felt before: "Why are you so kind to me?"

"In the future, you will know."

He put my head on his arm, the tip of my nose pressed against his chest, the smell of sandalwood mixed with Cheng Ke's cold breath, it was the first time for him to be so gentle.

This is so good.

"Close." Cheng Ke's lips lightly touched my eyes: "I hope that in my arms, you will never have nightmares."

I suddenly remembered the nightmare in the car today. It turned out that he would remember such a trivial matter!
Sugar-coated cannonballs are sugar-coated cannonballs... anyway, they are sweet.

It's almost twelve o'clock... I was thinking in a daze, I have changed places, will he go out?

But today I fell asleep before the time when Cheng Ke would go out.

I really didn't have a nightmare, I didn't even have a dream, I just felt that my mind was blank and I wasn't thinking about anything.

I vaguely had an idea, as long as I was a little stupid, it would be fine.

I got up the next day, and when I came out, I found that there was no one in the huge building. I searched around, not to mention Lulu and the second uncle, and I didn't see any of the relatives that the second uncle mentioned.

I felt very uncomfortable in my heart, and at the same time, I became more concerned. Lu revealed such a big thing. My mother clearly told me that all the relatives in the family came and asked me to help if I could, but why grandma? The person who is closest to the uncle's family has not shown his face until now?
Even if Lulu didn't die, but with so many other relatives here, the second uncle would definitely be too busy, and it would be impossible to leave their family alone.

Cheng Ke followed me out the door. I looked at the coffin in the yard and felt that even in broad daylight, it was gloomy.

Moreover, no one took down the soul-calling flag and the little white flower at the door.

I always feel that Second Uncle and Lulu probably have something else they haven't told me.When I see my second uncle in a while, I must ask what kind of ceremony was last night.

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly saw black smoke rising from the front of the coffin. I stretched my head over and saw my second aunt kneeling in front of the coffin, burning paper in the brazier, crying and laughing Luo Luo: "I did it wrong, but you are right? I, it's all for your own good, why don't you understand my heart... But it's all right now! It's all good! Hehe..."

Isn't Lulu all right?The coffin should be empty, who should burn the paper for?

I frowned and asked, "Second Aunt, what are you doing?"

The second aunt didn't even pay attention to me, the ashes from the yellow paper splashed on the second aunt's face, mixed with her tears, and there were streaks on the washed face.

I felt distressed for a while, knowing that it must be because of Lulu's incident that the second aunt had suffered too much, so I helped the second aunt wipe her face and said, "Second aunt, if you have time, communicate with Lulu more. After all Lulu has gone through such a big incident, maybe it's because she didn't communicate."

The second aunt laughed, but she laughed miserably: "I really want to, but I can't communicate anymore."

After hearing this, I vaguely guessed that maybe Lulu's matter had something to do with Second Aunt, so I took the opportunity to ask: "Second Aunt, why did Lu Lu not think about it back then?"

"She's not happy!" The second aunt looked at the coffin and murmured, "But I'm doing it for her own good."

Alas, when talking to my second aunt, she always has a feeling that she doesn't answer the question. I decided to ask the second uncle when I saw the second uncle. Just as I was about to stand up, I suddenly remembered that when I was taking a bath yesterday, the second aunt asked I must not go out, so I asked again with the mentality of giving it a try: "Second aunt, yesterday when I was taking a shower, you knocked on the door and told me not to go out. What is the reason?"

"Knock on the door?" The second aunt stared at my face with slack eyes, and finally got a little focus: "Last night, I was not in the building at all, and I didn't knock on any doors."
