husband from hell

Chapter 37
Of course I became puzzled, if it wasn't the second aunt, who would that person be yesterday?
Cheng Ke rang in a low voice: "Second Aunt, I lost my soul."

"You mean, Second Aunt is a little delirious?" I hurriedly asked, "Is it because of Lulu's incident?"

Cheng Ke nodded and said: "People have three souls and seven souls, they are a whole, and they are indispensable. When they are frightened or stimulated, they may appear in this state, so the second aunt's answer is a bit irrelevant. , because the part that knew the inside story was separated from the soul, that is, she didn't want to think about it and forced herself to forget."

I understand a little bit, that's right, every time Second Aunt avoids questions, it's all about Lulu!

"Second Aunt," I squatted down again and asked, "Have you seen Lulu? Do you know where Lulu is?"

The second aunt still doesn't seem to have heard me: "A girl can't help her mother, a girl can't help her mother..."

At the same time, the incense that Second Aunt placed in front of the coffin slowly rose again and drifted away. I knew that this would attract something that shouldn't come, so I said, "Second Aunt, since Lulu is not dead, Then let's remove these things, shall we?"

"Why do you want to withdraw?" The second aunt suddenly became excited, stared at me, and said, "Are you trying to spoil Lulu's good deed?"

I felt cold: "Second aunt, tell me, what is the good thing?"

The second aunt laughed: "It's a great thing, our Lulu is getting married, and that young man came yesterday and called me Mom, hahaha..."

Where's the boy?

"By the way," the second aunt said, and held me back, her brows and eyes were full of joy: "You help your cousin to see each other, that young man is really a spirit!"

I quickly said, "Okay, Second Aunt, what's the name of that young man, and where does he live?"

"What's it called?" The second aunt thought for a while, "I can't remember..."

I was discouraged all of a sudden, and the second aunt said excitedly: "Come here, come here, I'll show you something good! It's all your cousin's dowry!"

Saying that, he dragged me into the building: "I, I have been preparing for a long time, and I am ready. You are from the city. You have good eyesight. Help me to see! Help me to see!"

I went there with my second aunt, and my second aunt dragged me all the way to the second floor. I remember my second uncle said that the relatives of my second aunt’s family lived on the second floor, but when I went up to see that the second floor was quiet, there was no one at all. Traces of human habitation.

Moreover, the floor was covered with a thin layer of dust.

My heart suddenly stopped. Yesterday, I heard very clearly the footsteps of people running around above my head. It was very noisy. Why is there such a thin layer of dust on the ground, which is flat and flat, without even a footprint?

"Second aunt, don't your relatives from your natal family live on the second floor?" I asked cautiously.

"Where are there any relatives in our family?" The second aunt said indifferently: "There are not many people left, and we have stopped seeing each other for a long time."

Second uncle, you are lying...

The thin layer of dust was stepped on by my second aunt and a few footprints, but when I turned around, I found that the place Cheng Ke walked was still flat, and there was no trace left.

I know what happened to the one who ran upstairs yesterday...

"This is it!" The second aunt opened the door excitedly.

The door opened with a creak, and when I looked up, I lost all my courage. I saw a huge room with nothing else, and it was full of paperwork!

Exquisite paper horses, golden ingots, shiny cash cows, and even paper villas, cars, and LCD TVs!

There were even several pairs of paper-made virgin boys and girls grinning, with curved brows and eyes, revealing a crude and weird smile!
"Look at this dress..." The second aunt held up a mermaid evening dress cut out of paper, and gestured to me: "She looks so good in it!"

I felt a chill in my heart: "Second Aunt, are these all for Lulu?"

"Yeah, getting married..." Second Aunt said, "There must be a toasting attire, it's fashionable now, isn't it the same in your city?"

"Yes..." I nodded, "But how does Lulu wear these things?"

"What do you think?" The second aunt stared at me very strangely, and said in a deep voice, "Burn it for her!"

In Second Aunt's heart, Lulu is already dead...

"Is anyone there?" At this moment, someone outside suddenly shouted: "We are from the Jiang family!"

I turned around and saw a few men standing in the yard, staring at the coffin with sullen expressions on their faces. Some of them curled their lips and hugged their arms, feeling cold.

"Second aunt, there are guests at home..." I turned around, but unexpectedly, my second aunt disappeared without a trace.

"Eh?" I looked at Cheng Ke, a little at a loss: "Where is the second aunt?"

Cheng Ke said nonchalantly, "Let's go."

"Then why didn't you stop her?" I hurriedly said, "There's a guest, but the host isn't here, so what's the matter?"

"Isn't this just right?" Cheng Ke smiled slightly: "It's convenient to talk when the master is away."

At the same time, those people had already seen me behind the window and waved their hands to me, meaning to tell me to get down quickly.

I had no choice but to go down.

When those few saw me, they sized me up rather bluntly: "Who are you from Yang Yaohui's family?"

As soon as I saw that the person was not kind, I replied: "This is my second uncle's house, what can I do for you?"

"Let's get back what belongs to us." The men said, and they were about to break in while talking: "Their family dare not come out, let you block it?"

I frowned, and really blocked it: "If you have something to say, please make it clear first, my second uncle and second aunt are not here."

"What are you, why should I tell you?" A shirtless man with a green dragon tattooed on his back honestly wanted to push me away, and just when the man's hand was about to touch me Suddenly, he convulsed violently, as if he had been electrocuted. He stared at his finger in disbelief, and saw that the five fingernails on it seemed to have been pulled out by life, and they were all bloody. !
When the men saw this, their faces turned completely pale, and their eyes stared at me and then at Cheng Ke, full of panic and vigilance.

Cheng Ke's slender figure is still standing obliquely, very chic, with peach blossom eyes slightly squinted, still looking at ease: "I'm in a good mood today, so I won't take your arm off."

I also know that no matter how good-looking Cheng Ke is, he always has such a daunting evil spirit about him.

The faces of the men turned red and then pale, and the ruthless look just now was completely overwhelmed by Cheng Ke's aura.

Finally, one of them, who looked a little older, said in a trembling voice: "Let's talk about it if you have something to say, whoever lives in this family, the money is not blown by the strong wind, if you don't have it, you don't have it, who is willing, you guys Return the gift money to us, and our boy will find another girl, and our two families will have nothing to do with each other from now on, do you think it’s okay?"

I hurriedly asked, "What dowry money?"

When the man heard this, he quickly said, "Didn't your second uncle tell you? Just the 10 yuan for the engagement..."

I understood now: "Has your son been engaged to Lulu?"

"Yeah!" The man hurriedly brought over a cowering boy behind him: "It's him, he's honest, he and Lulu are both engaged, and neither of them has ever held hands, Lulu revealed this matter Son, then we, we have to make our plans too!"

I looked at that young man, in his early twenties, maybe a little younger than Lulu, with a cowardly look, a crew cut, small eyes with a snub nose, a big mouth, full of pimples, and a guilty conscience. He had to keep his head down, which made people feel uncomfortable. Having seen Cheng Ke's ability just now, he secretly tugged on his father's skirt, which seemed to mean that he wanted to leave.

Is this the son-in-law that the second aunt mentioned?It's strange to say that Lulu and I have a good relationship. If she is engaged, she should also give me news, but this is the first time I heard of it today.

I understood now, probably the family saw that Lulu had taken short-sightedness, and they came to ask for the bride price because they were afraid that they would lose their money, so they said: "When Lulu encounters such a thing, everyone is in a mess I can totally understand why you feel sorry for the money, but they are all from the same town, and if the matter of the two children really fails, then the second uncle will not let the money go..."

And the boy's father was afraid that there would be a disagreement, what would Cheng Ke do to them, and hurriedly said: "You are right, we, we came at the wrong time, so let's go first, go first It's..."

With that said, the group of people left as if fleeing for their lives.

I frowned, and asked again: "Excuse me, what's the name of this young man?"

Several people were staggering to go out, but when I asked this question, they all froze.

The young man turned his face, frightened as if he was about to cry, and stammered, "I...my name is Jiang Yang."

Probably because I was afraid of what Cheng Ke would do to them, I hurriedly said: "Don't be afraid, I have no other meaning, I just ask."

But those few people didn't believe it, and their expressions became extremely ugly. Before leaving, they whispered: "Who the hell knew that Yang Yaohui invited such a powerful character..."

"This 10 yuan is not good..."

"That's better than no life, ghost raiser, I can't afford to provoke..."

Sure enough, everyone in Tanshen Town seemed to know about the ghost breeder!
After a few people left, I sighed: "It's really uncomfortable to come here to ask for a bride price just after being alive."

Cheng Ke stared at the coffin noncommittally, and suddenly said, "Let's go out and buy some glutinous rice."

I froze for a moment and asked, "What do you want glutinous rice for?"

Cheng Ke clasped the edge of the coffin with a pair of slender and white hands, and said, "I want to see if the thing inside the coffin has hatched."

"Hatch?" I immediately remembered that there was someone who put something in the coffin yesterday and closed the coffin lid, and then his eyes fell on the coffin lid, but only then did I realize that the coffin lid, It was wedged!
When a person is going to be buried, the coffin can only be wedged, and then it will never be opened again. There is an idiom called "the conclusion of the coffin".

"Cheng Ke..." I felt uneasy: "Second aunt, second uncle, and Lulu, what happened to them?"

"Of course there is trouble." Cheng Ke's thin lips curled up, and he said with a smile: "It's still a big trouble."

I still wanted to ask, but Cheng Ke just circled me and walked outside: "This place is worth a visit."

After leaving the small western-style building of my second uncle’s house, I walked down the slope, and I saw a small grocery store not far away. This kind of grocery store in the countryside is still full of small children with childhood memories. The stuff, the packaging is crude, and the workmanship is rough, but it is the feeling of childhood.

The owner of the grocery store is a chubby middle-aged man. When I came here when I was a child, Lulu and Lulu would always come here to buy candy with the pocket money given by my grandma. I still remember that this man was a young fat man back then.

Now that the years have passed, except that the corners of his eyes and brows have traces of time, and he is slightly bald, the sun still shines from the same angle as before, the dust is still flying in the light, and all kinds of things are placed on the shelves. The order, and everything else, have not changed, and it makes me feel like I've fallen into a time warp of my childhood.

His surname is Hu, everyone calls him Fat Fox, and we kids call him Brother Hu.

Hu Ge was sitting in front of the counter drowsily. When he saw Cheng Ke and me coming in, he cheered up and said, "What do you two want to buy?"

"Glutinous rice." Cheng Ke said, "Three catties."

The boss nodded, swaying his clumsy body, he went to a corner and dragged out a rice bag, took a ladle to scoop out the glutinous rice: "Look at the two strangers, aren't they locals?"

I nodded and said, "Brother Hu, I used to come here to buy bubble gum when I was a child. It's been many years since I saw you!"

"You know me?" Brother Hu looked at me in a daze: "In the entire Tanshen Town, there is no family that I, Fatty Hu, don't know. Who are your distinguished guests?"

I smiled and said, "Yang Yaohui is my second uncle, and my grandfather's name is Yang Yunchang."

"Eh?" The ladle that the fat man was holding firmly in his hand suddenly shook, and a lot of glutinous rice spilled out: "Yang Yaohui...is it Lulu's family?"

I glanced at his fat hand and nodded: "That's right, I often came with Lulu when I was young."

"Ah," that fat man's forehead suddenly seemed to have a layer of greasy sweat: "I remember you! Aren't you the little girl with the big red bow tie on her head all the time!"

I nodded and said with a smile: "I haven't been here for more than ten years, Brother Hu has a good memory."

Brother Hu lowered his head and put the glutinous rice on the scale, but his hands were still unsteady, and he sprinkled the glutinous rice in a circle: "Yes, Lulu has such a big incident this time, no wonder you came all the way here , yes, also..."

I nodded and said, "Fortunately, he survived."

Unexpectedly, Brother Hu murmured to himself in a low voice: "It might as well be dead that time..."

"Huh?" I asked strangely, "Brother Hu, what did you say?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Brother Hu wiped the sweat from his forehead anxiously, and squeezed out a smile: "You, you are really a big girl, you look better than when you were a child. If you don't tell me, I really don't like you I can't recognize it!"

Then, he wrapped the glutinous rice in paper and stuffed it into my hand: "Take it and eat it, brother Hu pleases you."

"How can this be done!" I hurriedly said, "Brother Hu, this is a place for business..."

Brother Hu still wanted to give way to me, but Cheng Ke's clear voice sounded: "Excuse me, who is the old lady in this photo frame?"

I turned around and saw Cheng Ke was standing next to a wall with darts, bows and arrows hanging on it. His big peach eyes were looking into a black and white photo frame. In that photo frame was a very rich old lady with gray hair, squinting her eyes and smiling.

This old lady looks quite familiar... I felt a shudder on my back, and suddenly remembered, wasn't this the old lady I saw in the yard yesterday, the old lady wearing a shroud and eating tributes!

"This is my mother-in-law." Brother Hu said nonchalantly, "I've been living with us all along, not a few days ago."

really……

Cheng Ke continued: "I don't know, what did this old lady do when she was alive?"

When Brother Hu heard the question, he seemed a little embarrassed: "You city people probably think we are ignorant, so I'm not afraid of your jokes. My mother-in-law is a matchmaker, that is, a matchmaker for ghost marriages. , In the past ten miles around, if there was anything about ghost marriage, I would come to my mother-in-law to preside over it."

That's right, that's right... The old lady said yesterday that she is not a relative of our family, she is here to help with the wedding!
As if I had grasped a glimmer of hope, I hurriedly asked, "Brother Hu, do you know what happened to my second uncle's house recently? When I came here, everything felt weird!"

"They didn't tell you anything? That's no wonder..." Brother Hu was stunned for a moment, then said with a guilty conscience: "I tell you, don't say I said it. In fact, the matter has to come from your second aunt. ..."

Suddenly Brother Hu stopped talking while he was talking, his small eyes stared behind me in horror!
