Chapter 26 You Are Not in the Service Area
There was a man who dreamed every night that he wandered to the cemetery and had a tryst with his deceased girlfriend.

Later, suspecting he was sleepwalking, he asked a friend to call him in the middle of the night.He wanted to wake himself up from his sleepwalking.

However, every time he met his girlfriend in his dream, and his friend called him, he was told——the user you called is not available

service area.

Sarshin's parents are very open-minded.

On the day of Sarshin's wedding, when they arrived, they did not blame their son for his absurd behavior.Father just said lightly: "Father respects your wedding today, but does not approve of your decision to commit suicide."

Originally, Sal was living alone near the school, but his parents brought him home that day.

At night, Sal was lying on the bed alone, in a trance.

Mother boiled a bowl of ginger egg soup and brought it in hot.She saw that her son was staring at something intently, following his line of sight, it was an empty mahogany chair.

"Sachiko, what are you looking at?"

"Nothing to see."

"You're caught in the rain, get up and drink some soup to prevent a cold."

"Let's hang it out."

"Don't let it cool down."

"understood."

"Go to bed early and stop thinking about it."

"Mom, you should sleep too."

When my mother left, she looked at the grand master's chair, walked over to it, and picked it up.

Saar sat up at once and asked angrily, "What are you going to do?"

Mom froze for a moment and said, "Move it away."

Sarshin said, "Don't move!"

Mother sighed, put down the chair, walked out of Sarshin's bedroom, and closed the door softly.

Sa Erxing lay down slowly, and continued to stare at the grand master's chair.

He was missing Xiaorui.

If only she was sitting in a chair now - everyone has left, in this quiet night, she raised her hand, raised her veil, and said brightly: "My dear, we are with Mom and Dad ever?"

I don't know how long it took, and Sa Erxing heard the sound of a suona approaching from a distance.

He got up, opened the curtains, and looked outside - in the darkness, a procession of welcoming brides was passing by his window.

Four musicians in red robes walked in the front. They held up the suona and blew it towards the sky.

Four porters in green robes and black hats from the Qing Dynasty lifted a big bright red sedan chair with ease and moved forward slowly.

Four servant girls in red trousers and green jacket followed behind the sedan chair.

Nowadays, when many young people get married, they no longer pursue luxury and extravagance, but prefer traditional wedding forms, which are more economical, chic, grand and festive.

However, Sarshin felt a little strange, there is no such thing as midnight marriage.

He put on his shoes and slipped out to see what was going on.

Sa Erxing's family lived in a courtyard house.In Xijing, courtyard houses are the symbol of the highest status of real estate.To buy a courtyard house, you often have to pay for the relocation costs of dozens of households.

Sa Erxing ran out of the house, caught up with the maid who was walking at the end, and asked politely: "Miss, it's so late, whose family is getting married?"

The maid didn't seem to hear, and continued to walk forward slowly.

Sa Erxing felt very strange, so he stopped asking and followed silently.

The welcoming team kept marching towards the depths of the darkness, and finally stopped in front of another courtyard.

Outside the gate, red lanterns are hung high; inside the gate, several incense burners are burning.Many people were waiting. As soon as the sedan chair arrived, the gongs, drums, and firecrackers blared.

The bearer unloaded the sedan chair, carried the sedan chair empty-handed, walked into the courtyard, stepped over a charcoal brazier, and placed it on the steps of the main house.

A woman opened the car curtain, and the bride walked down slowly.Wearing a phoenix crown on her head, a Xiapei, and a red veil, she walked slowly into the main hall.

Sarshin, who was in the crowd, stared closely at the bride, eager to see her appearance.

A deacon said loudly: "One bow to heaven and earth—two bows to the high hall—"

Sa Erxing was stunned - only the bride worshiped the sky and the earth alone!
The deacon shouted again: "Husband and wife bow to each other..."

The bride turned and bowed slightly towards the empty side, as if there was really a person opposite.The strange thing is that every guest watched with blessings in their eyes, and no one seemed to notice the absence of the groom.

According to the traditional custom, after three prostrations, the groom will use a weighing pole wrapped in red cloth to pick off the bride's red head covering.However, the bride's red veil slipped off by itself...

Sa Erxing was dumbfounded - that bride is clearly her Xiaorui!
At this time, the deacon shouted in the most enthusiastic voice: "Li Cheng!"

Soon, everyone rushed the bride into the bridal chamber.

Sarshin looked through the shaking head and looked into the bridal chamber——

Someone is spreading red dates and peanuts on the marriage bed.A chubby child rolled around on it with a smile on his face.Someone brought the descendants and longevity noodles...

Xiaorui sat quietly on the edge of the bed, turning a deaf ear to the noise around her, and kept staring at something——in the center of the bridal chamber, there was an empty mahogany grand master's chair.

A strong man walked over, picked up the grand master's chair, and wanted to move it away.

Xiaorui suddenly said: "Don't touch it!"

At this time, a group of bridal chamber hustlers squeezed in laughingly, blocking Sarshin's sight.

He withdrew step by step, came to the gate of the courtyard, stood in the alley, looked in one direction, it was pitch black; looked in another direction, it was also pitch black...

He suddenly realized that this place is not the world!

The bride, the deacon, the children, the guests—they are not human!
As in his wedding on earth, the bride was absent; this wedding in the underworld, he was absent...

Thinking of this, Sarshin got goosebumps all over his body—where is home?
He tremblingly took out his cell phone, wanting to call his parents.After dialing the number, a cold voice came from inside: Dear customer, you are not in the service area...

Shocked, Sarshin opened his eyes.

The bowl of ginger egg soup is already cold.

His head seemed to be full of paste, and he couldn't even be sure whether it was a real experience or an illusory dream just now.

The mahogany chair was still empty.

One day later, Xiaorui's uncle and aunt rushed to the school to deal with the funeral.

Another day later, Sa Erxing led them to take Xiaorui's body from the police station and went straight to the funeral home.

The hearse was marching on the street.Sa Erxing sat beside Xiaorui, holding her hand all the time.Her body was covered with a white cloth, and her hands were as cold as ice.

Sa Erxing firmly believed that Xiaorui came to his room last night.She told him that he held a wedding ceremony with her in the world of heaven, and she also held a wedding ceremony with him in the underworld...

There was a convoy driving towards us: a white stretched Lincoln in front, a string of cars of different colors in the middle, and a champagne bus behind.Every car is dressed in red and green, beaming.

The funeral car and the wedding car passed each other.

This day is March 3th, Saturday.
