Buried ghosts, ghost marriage contracts

The village chief looked like he had seen a ghost and shouted: "Mr. Wei died a long time ago."

"The path at the west end of the village leads to the graveyard."

"Why didn't you say you saw a ghost?"

The man's face turned pale: "Village chief, don't tease me."

The village chief's wife frowned: "How can I tease you? Yesterday, I watched Mr. Wei's cremation with the wife of the Wei family."

The man hurriedly asked his companions for confirmation: "Really? If you don't believe me, ask them, village chief?"

The other young men looked at each other, hesitated and said with panic:

"Brother, we only saw you talking to the air, and we didn't dare to say anything."

"But Mr. Wei is indeed dead."

Thinking about his jokes with Mr. Wei before, the man's legs softened instantly.

Mr. Wei said he was back from the city,

Didn't his mother who was cremated yesterday just come back from the city? .

At this time, the village chief found something wrong. He stared at the man and his group of people back and forth

With a look of horror, he asked: "How many people did you say pulled the cart?"

"Two?"

"Bullshit!, I called ten of you, and now ten of you are back, and you told me that two people pulled the cart?

Who pulled the cart?".

The man was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly counted. His face turned blue when he counted the first time.

He counted three times in a row and fell down directly.

Even though it was the summer solstice, his limbs were cold.

Ten! ... Ten!

All the people he brought with him came back.

Really all came back!, Who pulled the cart away?

Who pulled the cart?

The young men came to their senses and their scalps went numb. They were so scared.

At this time, the Taoist priest in white stood up and said only one sentence: "The cart was not taken away by anyone."

The Taoist priest went out alone.

He didn't come back until the early morning of the next day.

One person pulled a cart.

My mother was holding a black and blue baby in the cart and feeding it.

The women in the village came to watch the fun, but they were scared to death.

Several big mouths shouted: "Dead baby...dead baby!".

"This is a dead baby!"

The village chief and other young men were also scared by my appearance.

The baby was not crying but laughing under the crowd, and spit out the pacifier.

The corners of his mouth slowly opened, and his toothless mouth laughed exaggeratedly.

Giggle... However, this laughter sounded like ghost crying to the villagers.

Because of the baby's laughter, ghosts and wolves cried one after another in the village.

Dogs in every household were shouting wildly, as if something was going on.

There seemed to be many more figures in the forest that never sees the sun.

"Master, why is this baby like this?" The village chief trembled and offered the old Taoist a cigarette.

The old Taoist pushed him away and sighed:

"The baby was born on the 14th day of the lunar calendar, at 4 a.m."

"What a coincidence, this year is the year of a disaster that happens once every 400 years."

"People are afraid of death, so they avoid the number 4."

"Born on the 14th day of the fourth month of the fourth year, the underworld is in chaos."

"Why did this baby have to be born at this time?"

In the end, the old Taoist left,

leaving only one sentence

"It was God's will that the baby should die in the womb, and the old Taoist's intervention was useless."

"Your Zhang family has been entangled by something terrible, and the child of the disaster will not live for more than four hours. This baby is dead, so bury him early to avoid more suffering."

The villagers also persuaded my mother to strangle me to death early.

They had never seen such a baby before, how strange it was.

Even if the newborn baby is a laughing sound?

My mother kept wiping her tears. She didn't expect that it would be so difficult to wait for me to be born.

In the end, it was still a death.

At this time, my grandfather came out madly and threw himself in front of my mother.

The villagers were stunned. Usually, my grandfather would stay in the cowshed, but today he came without anyone to lead him?

Could it be that he knew that his grandson was born?

But what if he was born? This baby will die early!

My mother also wanted us to meet before we died, so she handed me to my grandfather.

After my grandfather held me, the silly smile on his face gradually disappeared.

His turbid and vast eyes had more luster. He touched my face and murmured: "A Si... Zhang A Si".

The village chief exhaled a lot of white smoke: "It's amazing, old brother, are you awake?"

"The name A Si is a bit unlucky".

Suddenly, my grandfather stood up, his head stiffly turned in one direction,

then without any warning, he hugged me and rushed into the woods.

No one was surprised by this sudden situation, and the village chief was so scared that he dropped his cigarette.

When we called people to chase him, my grandfather's back was gone.

My mother wiped

Tears said forget it, anyway, this child will not live, let him accompany his grandfather for the last time.

..................

Until the next day, which was the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar.

I was found at the Zhang family's ancestral grave, and the black and blue on my body had faded.

But my grandfather was dead.

According to the person who found me,

I was lying on the ancestral grave at the time, and my grandfather fell not far away.

The body looked like it had been cut into pieces, and the blood on the body had been drained, and both eyes had been dug out.

The death was extremely tragic, and the land at the ancestral grave was almost dyed red.

Fortunately, I survived for four hours and was sure to die. When I returned home, my mother cried bitterly.

The villagers were also amazed, and they all thought that my grandfather had exchanged his life for mine.

From then on, my mother named me after the name that my grandfather kept repeating

Zhang Ah Si!

.........

"Zhang Ah Si, you are sick! Talking about this kind of thing at night."

The pretty girl with shoulder-length hair hit me angrily.

I shrugged nonchalantly

"This is true. My mother often told me that your name Ah Si was not easy to come by... and so on."

"Qi Qi, are you going home tomorrow weekend?"

She stood up and patted her butt: "No, there is nothing interesting in the village. It is better to review more lessons."

"You want to go back?"

"My sister will pick me up tomorrow, go back and see."

Qi Qi: "You, you have a good brain but you are not diligent. Next time you call me out to tell ghost stories, you are done!"

After that, the girl left angrily.

In addition to those who run at night, there are only those couples on the huge playground, and I am hiding in the shadows.

This is indeed the origin of my name.

I don't know why I believe this story, and these strange things are well known in the village.

Maybe my life is really exchanged by my grandfather. Now I am almost eighteen years old.

The past eighteen years have been peaceful and the family situation has improved a lot.

It may be because my father dug up the ancestral grave.

The next afternoon, I was waiting for my sister at the door early.

My sister is seven years older than me. She is not good-looking, but ordinary.

But my sister always looks down on the men in the village.

She said that she was not destined to be in this rural ditch.

At the busy school gate, a clanging electric tricycle caught my attention.

The driver was a woman in a dark long skirt and a big braid.

This is my sister.

I walked over quickly and jumped on the car.

"Sister, you are quite punctual this time."

My sister laughed and said, "What are you saying? Have I never been punctual before?"

I sneered, "Yes, I am quite punctual. I can wait until midnight for you to come."

This seemed to touch on the embarrassing past, and my sister smiled and stopped talking.

The school in the city is not close to the village. It takes more than an hour to ride this tricycle to get to the village.

The road back is cement and relatively flat. The comfortable breeze and the shaking of the car are a great sleep aid.

Ring, ring, ring........

I was awakened by the ringing of my cell phone. I was too sleepy to even open my eyes.

I put the phone to my ear: "Hello!"

"Hello, you! I've been waiting for you for a long time. Where are you?"

"Who are you?"

"Who am I? I'm your sister!"
