From Jiu Shu's world

You must know that the period of the Republic of China was not like modern times. At this time, there were many rules, not to mention, the people on the road to greet relatives relied on eight large sedan chairs, but there was no such convenient transportation as modern times.So Wang Caihu's wedding reception team went to the next town early in the morning to greet the bride.

They greeted the bride at the bride's house according to the rules, the joy was ringing non-stop, and there was a lot of noise for a while. It was finally the afternoon when the bride was picked up in the wedding sedan chair.

Time was running out, Wang Caihu picked up the bride, and the welcoming team started to rush back, for fear that it would be too late to catch up with the auspicious time for the wedding.

The bearer also knew that time was tight at this time, so he had to work hard and speed up to carry the bride back to Renjia Town, otherwise the salary would not be so easy to get.

The welcoming team hurried back under the sound of suona.Whether it was the bearer or the maid who sent relatives off as a dowry, they couldn't help speeding up their pace, for fear of being scolded by this violent Wang Caihu.

After walking for a while, the sky has begun to darken, turning blue, and a pale yellow moon has begun to climb up.

Wang Caihu rode a tall horse and walked in front of the team with the matchmaker. He looked up at the moonlight, then turned his head to look at the panting bearer, and couldn't help frowning. He asked, "Matchmaker Wang, will this Can't make it?"

Matchmaker Wang has been running matchmakers in these ten miles and eight towns all year round to talk about marriage, and Guangcai has traveled to the two towns several times for Wang Caihu's marriage. This road is already familiar and can't be more familiar.Looking at the sky, and then looking at the appearance of the bearer, I'm afraid there will be a rest in the middle, which will definitely delay the time.

She looked distressed, and said falteringly: "Maybe... it's time to delay the matter."

When Wang Caihu heard this, his eyes widened: "Do you want to delay the time?"

Matchmaker Wang's collection of money naturally depends on other people's winks, so she can only explain: "Hey, Young Master Wang, isn't this the bride's house that has been making trouble for a long time?"

Matchmaker Wang spoke in a low voice, for fear that the bride in the sedan chair would hear her.But when Wang Caihu heard this, his face softened a bit, but his brows were still frowning, and he asked, "Is there a shortcut around here?"

Matchmaker Wang is really in trouble, she stammered: "Yes... Yes, but this road is not easy."

She looked left and right, and then came close to Wang Caihu's ear and said, "The forked road ahead is a shortcut to the left, but there is a cemetery over there, so it's unlucky."

When Wang Caihu heard it, he thought it was some kind of mountain road that was not easy to walk, but it turned out to be just a cemetery, so it was nothing.So he said: "Let's go, just go over there. Isn't it the cemetery."

Seeing him talking like this, the matchmaker couldn't say anything, although it was a bit unlucky.But it's not that those who received relatives in the past did not pass through the cemetery. You must know that many people have died in this era, and you don't know where they are all buried. Sometimes the grave may be at your feet and you don't know.

Not to mention that in some villages, because of Fengshui, the cemetery may be at the head of the village. It is impossible for you not to pass by. If the matchmaker saw Wang Caihu talking like this, she trotted to the bearer and took the The matter was told to the bearer.

After hearing this, several bearers nodded repeatedly, expressing that there was no problem.

The welcoming team came to the side of the fork in the road, and instead of walking according to the original route, they chose the shortcut to the left.

I have to say that this shortcut is really much flatter than the original road, but the shortcut is no better than the avenue across the mountain, the path is much narrower, and the trees on the side of the road are also much denser.

It was getting later and later, and the roadside was pitch black, thanks to the two red lanterns in front of the team that illuminated the road ahead.

The night became more and more silent, and the insects all around stopped and stopped with the sound of people's footsteps, reflecting the indescribable sense of tranquility against the sound of suona in the middle of the night.

The welcoming team was walking, when suddenly there was movement from the bushes on this side.

"Swish"

I don't know what it is, shaking in the bushes.

The team stopped suddenly, and Wang Caihu said in surprise, "What is it?"

Everyone looked over in unison, and saw several pairs of red light spots in the bushes looking at them.For a moment, the team didn't dare to move, and didn't know if it was a ghost or a beast.

Just at this moment of hesitation, the horse under Wang Caihu slammed and neighed, and the bush suddenly moved, and three or five strange black birds flew out from the middle.

When the person holding the lantern took a photo, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be a few crows.Everyone cursed secretly for making such a fuss.

Wang Caihu cursed even louder: "Bah, it turned out to be a crow, I knew it would have brought a slingshot and hit you."

After a false alarm, the team continued to move forward.After passing the bushes just now, everyone realized that they had already arrived near the cemetery, no wonder there were crows flying out.

Walking through the cemetery without any risk, Wang Caihu wiped away the cold sweat behind him, and said to himself, "I just said it's just a cemetery."

Everyone thought of Wang Caihu's performance just now, and wanted to laugh in their hearts, but they didn't dare to show it, they could only keep it in their hearts and do their own things.

Suddenly, a suona sounded, the sound was sad and miserable, and it was even more frightening in the night.When Wang Caihu heard it, he was furious. This was clearly the sound of funeral suona music. Does this suona player want to die?

He turned his head and scolded: "Zhao Fang, you can't die if you want to, bragging about it!"

Zhao Fang looked dazed, the suona was still on his waist, he hadn't recovered after being so frightened just now, there was no time to play the suona.Mang Mang said: "Young Master Wang, I didn't brag about it."

Just after the conversation ended, the suona of the funeral was getting closer and closer. Not far in front of the team, suddenly a group of white men and horses appeared. Everyone was dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, holding two white lanterns, and wrote a big letter A founding character is clearly a funeral procession.

The matchmaker's heart skipped a beat, this is a matter of red and white.

Chapter 173 The Red and the White

Red things collide with white things, that is, the wedding trip bumps into the funeral procession. Generally speaking, ordinary people may not encounter this kind of situation once in a wedding or funeral.

But once you encounter it, it will be a troublesome thing, and it will be very unlucky for married people.

And for the mourners, whether you get out of the way or not is the second most important problem. For the people lying inside, the great joy and celebration are extremely depressing for him.

Therefore, once it is found out that the red event and the Pepsi event may be held at the same time, it must be that the two parties have inquired about their wedding and funeral routes in advance, for fear that they will collide and it will be bad for everyone.

But no matter how you say it, there are always some times, which cannot be avoided.

Just like this Wang Caihu's marriage, the meeting is already imminent, and it is impossible to avoid it in advance.

Because the crowd had already seen the expressionless face of the mourner, and the approaching paper money flying all over the sky, that scene was very terrifying in this wild night road.

But this time Wang Caihu was lucky to invite experienced bearers and matchmakers from all over the world.Although this matter is troublesome, most of them have ways to deal with it.

The matchmaker looked serious and shouted loudly: "See the coffin and get rich, return the gift!"

The bearer also had a stern expression on his face, his luck in his dantian, and he shouted loudly: "See the coffin and get rich, return the gift!"

All of them lowered their heads slightly, not looking directly at the funeral procession, and without even saying a word of accost, the bearers all turned around, did not turn the sedan chair, and started to walk back slowly with the sedan chair on their backs .

This unavoidable red matter bumps into white matter, if it is on the same road, the white matter will slow down and give way to the red road, if you want to rush forward, then it must be the red matter giving way to the white matter, and the emphasis is on the dead.

Of course, different places also have their own particulars, and some things even require Taoist priests to calculate each other's gossip, and then see who will let whom, so as not to offend.

But in the current situation, it is quite good for the matchmaker and bearer to have such a response.Moreover, the bearer was very calm and sober, slightly bowed his head and turned around to lift the sedan chair instead of turning the sedan chair around. The bride was still facing Renjia Town, so it was not considered the bride walking back.

Matchmaker Wang was also afraid that Wang Caihu would cause trouble at this time, and she would drag Wang Caihu back. The wedding team just walked back slowly step by step, not daring to go too fast, for fear of offending the deceased. .

On the wilderness alley, the welcoming team walked back slowly, while the mourning team behind them said nothing, the suona blew loudly, and paper money was flying all over the sky. Shivering, everyone felt the chill behind him.

After walking for a few minutes, they retreated to the vicinity of the cemetery. The road was a little wider. The welcoming team stopped and silently made way for the funeral team.

The two teams were silent, and the flying paper money fell like petals, this time covering the two passing teams.

For a short staggered moment, everyone held their breath in unison.It wasn't until the mourning team left that the welcoming team who watched their backs breathed a sigh of relief, and then slowly the welcoming team also began to turn around and prepare to move on.

The matchmaker was also in a cold sweat. After living for so many years, this was the first time she encountered such a strange funeral procession, not even a single mourner.

"Fuck, bad luck, bad luck."
