After marrying evil, I can't leave

The sound of firecrackers rang out in clusters. For people who live in the provincial capital and do not see firecrackers on weekdays, the familiar smell of gunpowder/smoke makes them feel like Chinese New Year.

The voices of people speaking outside also began to get denser.

Since the day they came to this village, they didn't see many villagers, and they were not enthusiastic. The village has always been deserted. When they heard the noisy voice, they felt a little weird.

The wedding started at four o'clock in the morning during the day, and it's still breakfast. Homemade ribbons, lanterns, and red lanterns have been hung on the alleys and alleys. At a glance, the long main road stretches for nearly one kilometer.

You can imagine the grand occasion of the night.

Several people sat and chatted at the entrance of the alley, no one was guarding the house, but when passing by the entrance of the village, Wu Yao saw several people sitting there guarding.

This made Zhou Wu feel that this matter was getting more and more confusing. Whoever got married was afraid that the bride would run away, or that the best man would run away.

Wu Yao was also confused, and said that he would split up with Zhou Wu to see the situation in the village.

Zhou Wu asked: "Aren't you afraid?"

Wu Yao said: "Curiosity is beyond heaven!"

Zhou Wu said: "Curiosity killed the cat."

Wu Yao pointed to the people along the way, and said disdainfully: "There are so many people, what are you afraid of? Coward, then stay here!"

It wasn't because of Wu Yao's provocative method, Zhou Wu was also very curious, so he agreed to Wu Yao and split up with him to have a look.

The number of villagers who came out for activities was a lot more than the previous few days. Zhou Wu only went out for a while, and he could receive a handful of melon seeds and a handful of peanuts stuffed by them. A group of people were chatting around in front of him.

Going forward, there are more people, moving things, hanging decorations, exchanging wedding candies, talking loudly, and he is much more popular than before. Among them, he also saw the one who said to Wu Yao last time, "You don't even know me if you tell me". youth.

The young man's hair is a little curly, past the ears, and his skin is wheat-colored with black spots, exuding the wildness of this little leopard.

Seeing Zhou Wu, the young man waved to him and said, "My house is in this alley, why don't you come and sit at my house?"

Zhou Wu shook his head and said that he was busy, and the other party didn't force him, but gave him a small bag, opened it, and there were a lot of candies and chocolates in it.

"Do you like sweets?" he asked.

Zhou Wu shook his head: "Chocolate is okay, I'm not good at pure sweet candy."

The other party was surprised: "There are still people who don't like sweets."

Zhou Wu: ...

Seeing that the young man was quite talkative, Zhou Wu asked: "Your wedding customs here are really strange. I heard that the bride and groom cannot see each other for two days before the wedding."

The young man said: "Where it is two days, you may not even see the bride's face."

Zhou Wu was shocked: "Ah, this...isn't an arranged marriage in ancient times, isn't it too strange?"

Young people puzzled: "What is an arranged marriage?"

Zhou Wu said: "The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, the parties to the marriage have no emotional basis."

The young man touched his chin: "You are right."

Zhou Wu said: "But even if you arrange a marriage, you have to meet a few times before getting married. Otherwise, who knows whether you are marrying a human or a ghost, whether it is beautiful or ugly."

Hearing this, the young man obviously paused, showing a thoughtful expression.He lowered his head to think for a while, and when he raised his head again, he said, "I'll bring you this word."

"What?" Zhou Wu didn't understand what he said suddenly.

The young man grinned: "It's okay, your opinion is very good!"

Zhou Wu thought that what the young man said was true, and he would share this opinion with the people in the village, so he didn't care.

"Besides, even if it's an ancient wedding, isn't there a lot of procedures? Proposal, engagement, dowry, betrothal gift... and so on, you guys are too hasty."

The young man was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he said, "So there are so many things to pay attention to."

The two chatted for a while, and the young man was called away by a gloomy middle-aged woman inside the door. The young man turned around and said to Zhou Wu, "My name is Song Shu."

Zhou Wu paused and nodded.

After bidding farewell to Song Shu, Zhou Wu continued to walk forward before realizing that the young man did not have a local accent, so he could understand what the other party said.

The clothes on his body were a bit heavy. Zhou Wu walked half a mile, panting a bit, leaning against the corner of the alley to rest for a while, and couldn't help loosening his belt.

Not long after standing still, Zhou Wu heard something.

"What's the situation with Zuo Feng? I heard that his painting was torn up. Isn't his painting the best in recent years..."

"Who knows? It is said that his leg was directly crippled, half dead. I don't know if he can be raised back. Who would have thought that he would actually hang himself today..."

"Could it be that...he..." When he mentioned "he", the man's tone became fearful, and the speed of his speech became slower and lighter.

"I don't know, but I heard that there was a change in each family this time. They said that the person was delicious. I don't know much about it. It didn't happen before." The person who answered spoke quickly.

The dialect was used, Zhou Wu vaguely understood some words, the picture was torn, and the best, hanged himself.When these key words are put together, the sentence that is in the cloud, and the fast speech is even more incomprehensible.

At this time, a few people came out from the door behind them. Zhou Wu stretched out his head to see that the two people who came out actually carried a corpse in their hands.

I didn't see his face, and the white cloth wrapped it all up, but Zhou Wu just heard the name mentioned in the dialogue in the dialogue, and what happened yesterday, only Zuo Feng was under the white cloth.

"Go." One of them greeted the villagers and walked deep into the alley.

Zhou Wu looked around. No one cared about this side. Seeing that several people were about to disappear into the alley, he gritted his teeth and followed.

The footsteps of several people kept coming forward, and Zhou Wufang followed slowly. Thanks to this pair of soft boots, the footsteps sounded like cats.

The surrounding scenery gradually changed. The ground at the end of the alley gradually changed from bluestone slabs to muddy ground. The ground was a little wet. Zhou Wu squatted down, picked up the hem of his dress, and followed up little by little.

Out of the bluestone slabs, they suddenly started to speed up, and Zhou Wu barely kept up.They didn't stop until they saw that the surrounding scenery became very strange.

They came to a cemetery.

On a cloudy day, the sun is also blue and white. Zhou Wu raised his eyes and looked forward. The mountains and plains are full of graves, there are countless,

This is at the foot of the back mountain in the village. The villagers said that this area belongs to the cemetery, so the program team did not come to shoot.

Just as Zhou Wu stood still, those people had already started digging a hole, probably to bury Zuo Feng's body.But the police haven't arrived yet. Are these people trying to destroy the corpse?

But after a while, the hole was dug, and Zhou Wu watched them throw the corpse in, and then buried it in the soil, muttering something in his mouth, ready to return.

Zhou Wu hurriedly hid behind a tree one step ahead of them, and dared not come out until they left.

As soon as they left, there was silence in the cemetery, except for howling mountain winds. Facing each of the graves, Zhou Wu's hairs stood on end, and he turned around and left, but before he left, he noted down the locations where several people buried their bodies.

The pace was fast, and Zhou Wu was almost trotting, because he had an illusion that there seemed to be some abnormal noises coming from the mountain forest.

Zhou Wu trotted for a while, returned to the alley, and breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could relax for a second, he heard strange footsteps.

Without daring to look back, Zhou Wu kept walking forward.

"Little brother, wait for me." A somewhat old voice sounded from behind.

human voice?

Looking back, Zhou Wu saw an old man on crutches holding an ornament in his hand and stopped him with a smile.

Seeing that it was a person, Zhou Wu relaxed and said, "Old man, where are you going?"

"Go get something, go home now," he lit up the things in his hand.

Zhou Wu said "oh", the old man walked over slowly, and the two walked side by side.

As he walked, Zhou Wu faintly felt that something was wrong. Although the sun was not so bright now, there were still faint shadows on the ground. When Zhou Wu lowered his head, he saw the shadow under his feet. It was found that the old man who was walking with him had no shadow.

In the alley, a chilly wind came in. Although the wedding gown looked thick and warm, it didn't block the wind, which made him shiver.

Is it an angle problem?

Zhou Wu comforted himself.

The old man who was walking stopped, Zhou Wu felt a "thump" in his heart, and felt that his arm was being grabbed, and the strength of his palm was so strong that he didn't look like an old man at all.

"My family lives here, would you like to come in and have a sit?"

When Zhou Wu went to see him again, he felt that his face was dark and his smile was extremely weird. The wrinkles and nasolabial folds on his face were squeezed together, and the corners of his mouth showed bright red gums.

In an instant, Zhou Wu's scalp exploded.

"No, I still have something to do!" Zhou Wu tried to withdraw his hand, "Come visit again when you have time!"

The grasping palm was so powerful that Zhou Wu couldn't break free, and was dragged home by the old man.

It was dark inside the door, and nothing could be seen.

Zhou Wu's hairs stood on his head for a while, his teeth chattered, but he held back his energy. He used his whole life's quality to swear a bad word, but he didn't expect to get rid of the "old man".

After Zhou Wu ran more than ten meters away, the voice of the "old man" sounded from the side again, and when he turned his head, he almost touched the other party's face, and was so scared that he almost peed his pants on the spot.

Zhou Wu heard a gasp, and the other party's words came from his ear: "You smell so good."

At this time, the old man's voice was no longer old, and sounded very young. Zhou Wu turned his head again, and saw a pale and blue handsome man's face.

Song Shu was standing inside the door, pointing his finger at the painting on the wall and said, "They said they wanted to propose marriage, get engaged, dowry, and they said they would meet before marriage, or else they don't know whether they are marrying a human or a ghost, beautiful or ugly. ..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard footsteps coming from outside. He froze, his eyes darkened, and he opened the door and walked out.

Zhou Wu seemed to see the savior: "Song Shu?!"

There was a person standing at the entrance of the alley. Zhou Wu looked carefully and found that it was Song Shu, so he quickly called out to him. Song Shu grabbed Zhou Wu who was running and couldn't stop the car. Zhou Wu was out of breath leaning against him.

Song Shu asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Zhou Wu made sure that the thing behind him didn't catch up again, shook his head and waited for his breath to recover before saying, "It's okay, it's okay, exercise."

Song Shu: "..."

Song Shu glanced at the empty alley, squinted his eyes, and turned his head into a smiling face: "Would you like to come to my house for a cup of tea?"

Zhou Wu shook his head quickly when he heard this, feeling psychologically disturbed.

Zhou Wu: "No, no, I still have something to do. I have a wedding tonight. Are you busy?"

I don't know if it was Zhou Wu's illusion. He couldn't say it, but the other party breathed a sigh of relief?

Song Shu was a little embarrassed, and asked, "I'm not busy. By the way, I have a question for you. What do you usually have for dowry gifts?"

Zhou Wu heard the words, thinking that the other party asked after hearing his previous opinions, thought for a while, and said: "Money, but some places will give three golds, or other things, depending on local customs."

Song Shu felt thoughtful when he heard the words.

Zhou Wu didn't have the mood to chat anymore, bid farewell to Song Shu and left in a hurry.

When he returned to the house, Wu Yao had already come back, sat at the door and played chess with Ding Cheng, and when he saw Zhou Wu came back, he said with a smile: "Wu Wu, you won't really investigate, will you?"

Seeing the situation, Zhou Wu saw that Wu Yao, a brat, was actually playing by himself, so he was so angry that he gave Wu Yao a brain break, and then ignored him and walked in.

Seeing that he was angry, Wu Yao hurried in to coax him. After a few minutes, he was finally coaxed, and Zhou Wu then told what he had seen and heard.

Of course, the "old man" was ignored.

"They buried the body?" Wu Yao was surprised.

As soon as he finished speaking, He Hai and Hu Yu Ding Cheng walked in, "Come on, there is still some time before night, let's see the results of these few days of filming."

Several people gathered in front of the computer, He Hai connected the memory card and turned on the player.

"It's been a while, let's fast-forward. Yesterday we also photographed the young man who committed suicide. Maybe we can find some clues."

Sure enough, they are all media people, and they will not ignore this kind of thing.

He Hai clicked on the video, and the video started playing.

There are three sections in the video, all of which are scenes of seeing the young man. The first is yelling to make them disappear, the second is holding the painting, and the third is squeezing into the crowd to see his body.

There is nothing surprising about these three pictures. Several people watched it several times, but found nothing, until Zhou Wu suddenly said: "Is that person without a shadow?"

Everyone was shocked, and He Hai immediately pressed pause, stopping at the first time when the young man was holding the scroll and asked them to roll.

Zhou Wu pointed to a figure from behind: "Look at him."

That figure was exposed under the cloudy sky, and there was no shelter around. The people around him had faint shadows, but there were no shadows under his feet.

He Hai dragged the playback bar forward, that person had a lot of time in the camera, but only when his whole body was in the camera, could he see the shadow, and there were no shadows in the shots of his whole body several times.

"You've shown your face," He Hai said.

Immediately afterwards, the front face of the figure from the back appeared in the picture, with a straight face, he shouted angrily: "I won't tell you! If I tell you, you don't even know me!"

Zhou Wu's throat suddenly went dry, and the person in the camera was Song Shu who was talking to him more than ten minutes ago.

Wu Yao, who had chatted with Song Shu, was even more frightened. He said, "Could it be that something was covering it at that time, so there was no shadow..."

He Hai looked at these pictures again and again, but found no clues. Instead, he found several people without shadows, and some of them even had contact with them.

Wu Yao looked at the emptiness under the feet of a villager who was shoulder to shoulder with him, and said tremblingly, "I don't want to watch..."

Ding Cheng pushed his glasses, Hu Yu didn't speak, and He Customs dropped the video.

There was silence among the members of the program group, and no one spoke first. During lunch, He Hai said: "I have been a director of this program group for several years, and I have seen and heard a lot. This kind of thing is not uncommon. been."

Wu Yao was shocked: "Have you... seen it?"

He Hai said: "I've heard of it more or less. When dealing with this kind of thing, just relax."

Zhou Wu's whole face wrinkled together: "Relax?"

He Hai explained: "As long as it doesn't harm you, it's not a big deal."

This is similar to what Sister Wang said, don't listen to it, don't look at it, don't talk to it, as if this criterion has become a theorem.

Zhou Wu pondered for a moment and asked, "Then what if... it hurts?"

Everyone looked at him, and Zhou Wu thought of the time when Wu Yao almost fell into the water, and quickly waved his hands: "I just asked casually."

"It depends on how it hurts, whether it will kill you, or something else, or just joking with you." He Hai continued: "If there is no real harm, I suggest not to take it too seriously, and get used to it soon."

Wu Yao and Zhou Wu didn't know how long it would take for He Hai to "get used to it quickly", but Zhou Wu thought, if He Hai encountered these things of his own, would he still be able to maintain his "habit"?

After hearing this, Wu Yao was stunned and began to doubt his life, muttering things like "So there really is", Zhou Wu patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.

After lunch, the program team and members stayed in the room and did not go out until the evening when there was movement outside.

First, a few young women came in. They glanced around, saw Zhou Wu, and asked, "Is this our best man?"

There are very few women in this village, except for the bride, Zhou Wu only saw a few.

"It's me," Zhou Wu said.

Immediately afterwards, these women took out something and said, "Put on makeup."

Zhou Wu didn't expect to be the best man and had to wear makeup. There were also some people in their group who knew how to put on makeup, but they were rejected, saying that they painted differently.

Zhou Wu was pushed in front of the makeup mirror, and was fooled for a while, and when he opened his eyes again, he scared himself.

He was painted very white, his lips were very red, dark red eye shadow was used, the eye sockets became very deep, and a flower similar to that on the dress was pasted on his forehead.

The woman standing behind took out a small box, and when it was opened, there was a burst of golden light.

Wu Yao leaned over and said in shock, "Wow, it's all gold."

These are all hung on Zhou Wu, even wearing a few rings. His fingers are very slender and beautiful, so pale that it makes people feel distressed. Now there are four or five rings on them, which are heavy, making people worry whether his fingers will be caught. Crimp.

After finishing all this, the women left, Zhou Wu didn't dare to move at all, for fear that things would fall, and also felt a little sore because it was too heavy.

Wu Yao moved an armchair to make him sit more comfortably.

In this way, he stayed up until late at night, and Zhou Wu couldn't stand it anymore. At eleven o'clock, he leaned on the long lift and fell asleep, half dreaming and half awake. He didn't know whether he was awake or asleep.

It's a bit cold, is the brazier starting to go out?Open your eyes to add carbon.

Zhou Wuqiang propped up his eyelids, sat up, and just opened his eyes, he saw Wu Yao walking slowly, staring at Zhou Wu in his eyes, Zhou Wu was stared at by him, and resisted sleepiness Ask: "What's wrong?"

After a while, the other party said: "You are very good-looking."

Zhou Wu: "...?"

"Why are you so numb all of a sudden?" Zhou Wu stretched out his hand to rub his eyes, but stopped in time. After rubbing, his eye makeup didn't get dirty.

Suddenly, Wu Yao took out his mobile phone from his pocket and sat beside Zhou Wu.

Zhou Wu: "What are you going to do? There is no internet."

His movements seemed very unskilled, and after a while before he turned on the camera, he actually raised his mobile phone, wanting to take a selfie with Zhou Wu and himself.

"If you don't take pictures, don't take pictures, don't try to leave my black history!" Zhou Wu turned his face away and refused to let him take pictures.

As soon as his jaw was cold, Zhou Wu felt that two fingers were clasping his jawbone, and then his fingers turned hard to turn Zhou Wu's entire face.

With a click, the photo froze, Zhou Wu's almond eyes grew, and his whole body froze.There was a coolness in the pinna, and a voice came, very low.

"I see, it looks like this."

The sound seemed to come from the sky, Zhou Wu's eyes became blurred, the world seemed to be distorted, like a mosaic, and he vaguely saw the frozen picture.

His chin was clasped by his slender and pale knuckles, and he was almost wrapped in his arms, while Wu Yao, who was circling himself for a photo, became another person.

Handsome, pale, squinting at himself.

It seems to be far away, like the mist of white mist floating on the water surface, lingering and dense, I don't know if it is warm or cold.
