Life is never a precious thing, especially when it has nothing to do with oneself.
According to my inquiry, I learned that the dead body on the sedan chair was not obtained by Wei Erge and his group, but the corpse found by the ghost marriage partner himself.
Second brother Wei came here this time because he took money from Zhao Mingkun to do something, as for what, I am naturally not qualified to know.
When we saw the corpse again, it was standing in a simple shed.
The shed is about a dozen square meters and is built into a cuboid. Metal pillars, black canvas roof, leaving only the entrance from the north. The corpse was in the middle of the shed, with a row of chairs on both sides, and two grandmaster chairs directly to the south, which seemed to be where the groom's parents were going to sit.
On the long metal pillars of the shed, rows of candlesticks were wrapped with iron wires. Red candles were placed on them, and the candlelight was swaying with the breeze.
There are a lot of paper money, paper villas, paper furniture, paper cars and so on outside the shed. Two virgins made of paper were guarding the left and right sides of the shed entrance, which looked very strange.
The shed was built at the foot of the mountain outside the county, about 20 minutes' walk from the county. There were no wires in the shed, and it was only lit by these candles. But these candles are quite bright, so that people can clearly see the situation inside the shed.
At the moment we are squatting on a mountain bun, facing the entrance of the shed.
Remembering that at noon, I was still watching this corpse singing on the sedan chair, and I still felt a little apprehensive in my heart.
But I finally saw the face of this female corpse clearly. I have to say that this woman must have been a beauty before she was alive.
The face of the female corpse was put on makeup, blush and lipstick. Compared with when she was sitting in the sedan chair before, she looked a little bloody and a bit alive.
And if it weren't for the desolate singing and the weird atmosphere around, it would really make people want to step forward and take a closer look.
At this moment, the female corpse was wearing a bright red Chinese-style floor-to-ceiling dress, which wrapped the entire female corpse. From the appearance, we can't tell why the woman died. There was apparently a wide plank of wood around her neck, apparently used to support the corpse on its feet.
Brother Wei looked at the young man beside him, and said in a low voice, "San'er, look at Lao Liu, the things we took out are all in the house, be careful that Lao Liu will play a golden cicada for us to escape the shell."
With that said, Second Brother Wei looked at Zhao Mingkun who was at the side.
Zhao Mingkun turned his head and said flatly: "I'm not interested in your stuff, and you know why I'm here this time. As long as you help me find him, the rest is easy to talk about."
The words between the two people are confusing and make people sound confused.
But in the short time we spent together, I also figured out one thing. Zhao Mingkun does not belong to this team, she just has a cooperative relationship with this team headed by Brother Wei. And Brother Wei's team doesn't seem to be monolithic, otherwise Brother Wei wouldn't let San'er watch the sixth child.
Seeing my dumbfounded look, Second Brother Wei chuckled: "We always feel that this kid is a bit evil." Second Brother Wei said, "But speaking of it, I can't blame him for this matter."
Brother Wei looked at his phone, there is still some time before the wedding.
He continued: "Lao Liu's father has this problem. When Lao Liu was about seven or eight years old, his mother stole someone at home and was discovered by her father. His father didn't say anything at the time, as if When this incident never happened, the couple still slept in the same bed at night."
"But at night, when Lao Liu heard something was wrong, he went to his parents' room to check. The lights in the parents' room were on, so Lao Liu pushed the door and went, only to see that his father was still dead with one hand strangled his mother-in-law's neck."
"At that time, Lao Liu was frightened and stupid, and stared blankly. At that time, his mother was not dead, and his hands and feet were still struggling. When his mother saw Lao Liu coming in, she looked at Lao Liu with pleading eyes, but Lao Liu had already At a loss."
"Lao Liu was ignorant and didn't dare to tell others. It wasn't until more than a week later that the neighbors felt that something was wrong, so they broke through the matter."
Speaking of this, the rest of the people sighed, and Second Brother Wei said: "The sixth son was left alone in the future, and he did everything to survive. Later, he met a master and told him what happened. The master thought he was pitiful. So I took him in and taught him his skills. We have six apprentices, and he is the youngest."
Qian Er interjected at this moment: "I think this kid is very nervous, so let's just kick him out quickly. Last time with San'er, he almost lost his life."
"In any case, he is my brother." Brother Wei shook his head.
Zhao Mingkun's voice came out: "It's half past eleven, and the groom is coming."
As Zhao Mingkun's voice fell, the sound of suona came from the silent foot of the mountain. Obviously all the tunes were festive, but in such a weird environment, I got goosebumps all over my body when I heard it.
Following the sound of the suona, only a small lantern could be seen moving in the darkness.
"Remember what I asked you to do for me." Zhao Mingkun whispered to everyone.
Everyone agreed.
Zhao Mingkun looked at me, and said calmly: "You stay here for a while, don't run around, understand?"
I don't know what Zhao Mingkun and the others are going to do, but it is absolutely impossible for me to stay here.
But I still said: "Okay, call me when you leave. Although I don't know what you are going to do, it looks quite exciting."
Zhao Mingkun patted my head and stopped talking.
The lantern was getting closer and closer, and I gradually saw the appearance of these people clearly.
The one holding the lantern is the guide who held the dog's head at noon, and behind him are still the bearers. It's just that these bearers are not carrying sedan chairs, but a large coffin. Judging by the width of the coffin, two corpses can be placed in it completely. It seems that this is a joint burial coffin.
"Fall!" The leader slowly put the little lantern on the ground.
The people around gathered around one side of the coffin, quietly waiting for the coffin to be opened.
"Parents, please start the first nail!" The leader shouted loudly.
Two men and women in their fifties came out from the crowd, took the tools handed by others, and opened the two front nails of the coffin respectively.
But when the nail was just pulled out, bright red blood flowed out along the black coffin board.
"Ah!" The middle-aged woman was obviously taken aback.
The people around were also shocked, not to mention these people, we on the mountain bag saw such a scene, and almost didn't shout out.
Those who played the suona did not dare to continue blowing, and the miserable sound from the trumpet was also turned off. The foot of the mountain was so quiet that even a needle could be heard falling on the ground, and no one dared to speak. Even though the leader had organized countless ghost marriages, it was probably the first time he had seen such a scene.
"Master, what's going on here." The groom's father asked in a trembling voice.
"I, I don't know." The leader said: "No matter what, we must open the coffin first."
I asked in a low voice, "How long has his son been dead?"
Brother Wei said, "As far as we know, it's been a while."
"Damn it." Qian San said, "How can the blood of a dead person be so fresh? No, how can a dead person bleed?"
Zhao Mingkun waved his hand, signaling for everyone to be quiet: "There is only one possibility, the one in the coffin is not his son at all. Today's plan may be cancelled, I will tell you when I do it."
While talking, the leader had already started to pry the coffin boards. At this moment, there is no need to care about the ceremony of the ghost marriage, let's open the coffin first. Several young and middle-aged men also helped to pry the coffin board together, and it didn't take a few seconds. We heard the "bang" sound of the coffin falling to the ground, and we could clearly see the people in the coffin.
His throat was cut, and blood was pouring out continuously. It seemed that the trachea had also been severed, so he couldn't make a sound, and even being carried all the way, he couldn't call for help.
If Zhao Mingkun hadn't grabbed Second Brother Wei's shoulder with quick eyes and hands, Second Brother Wei would have rushed to the coffin at the foot of the mountain at this moment.
"How could it be him!" I couldn't help muttering.
Everyone's faces became serious, because it was not someone else lying in the coffin, but San'er who had left before!
But he didn't watch Lao Liu go, so how could he die in the coffin
