The heavy rain poured down, dense, cold, and chilling, making people feel cold to the bone.
The alley was filled with red umbrellas. Suddenly, a wedding suona sounded. The girl in a red wedding dress seemed to hear something. She cried and wanted to jump out of the wedding sedan, but was forcibly blocked by a strong man.
"No! Don't take my daughter away!" Under the heavy rain, a woman shouted at the top of her lungs: "Let me go for her! Let me go!"
"You? What good will it do if you go?!"
"Aunt San! You know the rules, don't break them!"
"Stop her!"
There was a brief chaos in the wedding procession. Under the dark clouds, the deep sea had a bottom, but the human heart was unfathomable. The woman was pinned to the ground, unable to move. She raised her head from the mud, and behind her there seemed to be a sea of blood and tears.
The wedding procession moved forward again, and mournful cries and suona music sounded at the same time, with great joy and great sorrow mixed in one journey.
Tang Ning stood blankly in the wedding procession, standing next to the crying woman. A strange thought suddenly popped up in his mind -
The bride should be me.
After realizing this, Tang Ning suddenly appeared in the bride's seat. The red sedan was shaking, and the red veil on her head was swaying. Tang Ning was confused and lifted the veil with one hand and lifted the sedan curtain with the other. When she looked outside, she found that the wedding procession was full of paper people!
Each paper figure joyfully took out a handful of paper money from their pockets and threw them high into the sky. The heavy rain in the sky turned into paper money all over the sky.
A deep and moving voice came from afar, saying, "Bride, come down quickly, marry me, and go to hell with me."
Tang Ning suddenly opened his eyes, cold sweat dripping down his face. He kept gasping for breath, unable to suppress his frightened eyes as he met a face glowing blue.
The face was also looking at him.
Ji Ke, whose face was illuminated by Lin Yun's light, whispered, "You're awake."
Tang Ning almost couldn't catch his breath.
He just thought he was dead. He was really lucky to survive the attack of the paper bride.
"Who saved me?" Tang Ning asked in a low voice. He vaguely remembered that someone seemed to help him break the paper on his face. The joy of breathing fresh air made Tang Ning collapse and cry for a while, and then he completely lost consciousness.
"When we found you, you were lying unconscious on the ground with a torn piece of paper next to you." Ji Ke said, "By the way, it's ten o'clock in the evening now. We are almost at Jijia Village. Can you walk by yourself?"
Tang Ning then realized that she was now being held by Ji Ke. No wonder she felt like she was being shaken in a sedan chair in her dream.
"I can do it." Tangning quickly tried to get down.
Ji Ke was indeed a little tired after carrying Tang Ning for such a long time, but when Tang Ning left his arms, he felt an inexplicable reluctance.
Tang Ning didn't notice Ji Ke's thoughts. He stretched his limbs and walked between Ji Ke and Lin Yun.
After walking for a few minutes, a village with red light appeared in the distance.
Tang Ning's heart skipped a beat. As he got closer, he realized that the red light was because the entire village was decorated with red lanterns, and some people had pasted the word "囍" on the windows and doors.
This is a very ordinary village, somewhat similar to the village where Tang Ning originally lived. Both have dilapidated old houses, wooden houses, earthen houses, and some of the houses have even collapsed with only half of the wall left.
The difference is that this village has a few small villas that appear to be newly built. Their appearance is not exquisite, but with these new houses, Jijia Village looks much richer than the village where Tang Ning lives.
Next to the house is a farmland. In the thick night, there are still hardworking villagers waving hoes in the fields. However, this year's harvest does not look very good. Although Tang Ning can't see clearly, he can feel that there are not many crops in the fields.
Turning his sight from the field back to the entrance of the village, Tang Ning vaguely saw a blurry figure behind a locust tree with a red lantern hanging on it.
As Tang Ning approached step by step, the figure gradually emerged. The hunched body, the face reflecting the red light, and the eyes reflecting the red dots stared straight at Tang Ning and his group.
He stood next to the tree, and his whole body seemed to have turned into a motionless tree.
Tangning couldn't help but stop. Ji Ke turned around and looked at Tangning in confusion. At this moment, the old man suddenly rushed out.
He pounced on Ji Ke suddenly!
The old man hugged Ji Ke tightly, half of his face immersed in the light of the red lantern, and the age spots on his sagging skin were clearly visible.
"Er Gouzi, why did you come back just now?"
This earth-shattering hoarse cry attracted everyone's attention. The villagers in the village stopped what they were doing and turned to look at the village entrance.
Ji Ke tensed up and tried to push the old man away, but the old man held on to his clothes tightly like a madman.
"It's too late!" The old man's skinny hands shackled Ji Ke's arm like a pair of pliers, "It's too late!!!"
Tang Ning saw the people in the fields put down their tools and walked out from the thick night. They were all thin and strong men wearing coarse linen clothes. The leading man walked up to Ji Ke and the old man, pulled the crazy old man away, and whispered, "Er Gou, your grandfather fell yesterday and his mind is not very clear."
The old man who was pulled apart stood aside. He did not talk nonsense anymore, but stood quietly under the locust tree.
Ji Ke on the other side quickly assumed the role, "How could this happen? How could a healthy person become like this after falling down?!"
The man patted Ji Ke on the shoulder and said, "Alas, I am old and can't stand the bumps and bruises. I'm glad you're back. Take good care of your grandpa."
The man comforted Ji Ke and looked at Tang Ning behind her, "You must be Tang Ning, right? Why did you come so late? It's already dark now."
"The tricycle broke down, so we walked all the way here." Lin Yun explained.
"The car broke down at a really bad time. Why didn't you call me so I could pick you up." The man asked, "Who are you?"
"I'm a distant relative of Tangning," Lin Yun explained. He took out his phone and took a look. "My phone had no signal before, and it has no signal now."
It is normal for the signal to be poor in the mountains. The man looked at Lin Yun and Tang Ning who were empty-handed and muttered, "Why didn't you bring your dowry?"
Tang Ning: “”
None of the players present had any experience in marriage and they came in a hurry. Now the three of them realized that something was wrong and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.
The man's eyes fell on Tangning's face, "You are so handsome, Lian Yun must like you very much."
When Ji Lianyun was mentioned, the man seemed to remember something and shouted to Ji Ke, "Ergou, go check on your cousin. He has been locked in the house for a whole day and night and won't open the door no matter how much we shout!"
Cousin Ji Lianyun was the focus of their mission this time. They spent half a day and risked their lives just to see this NPC. When the three players present heard that the other party was not in a good condition, their hearts sank.
The man led Tang Ning and the other two to a dilapidated old house. There was a "囍" character pasted on the paint-chipped door of the old house. There were no windows, and the only way to see what was inside the house from the outside was through a small hole in the door.
The man knocked on the wooden door twice, "Lian Yun, do you want a wife or not?"
As he knocked on the door, the dust on the wooden door fell down and Tang Ning could smell a cold and damp scent, which was the rotten smell of the old house.
The man knocked on the door for a long time, but there was no movement in the room. He looked at Ji Ke helplessly and said, "Go call your cousin."
Ji Ke walked to the door and knocked on it like a man. He knocked a few times and said, "Cousin, I brought my sister-in-law here."
Just as he finished speaking, a slight cough was heard in the silent room.
A young man who sounded very ill whispered, "Let him come over."
This "he" obviously refers to Tang Ning.
Tangning, who was called, walked to the door. He didn't know what to say, so he just whispered, "I'm coming."
There was no other sound in the room for a long time.
"Could he have fallen asleep again?" The man pointed at the small hole in the door, "Go and take a look."
Lying on the door to watch something had left Tang Ning with a deep psychological trauma. Tang Ning didn't really want to watch, but now was not the time to be afraid. He took a deep breath and carefully moved closer to the small hole in the door.
Through this small hole, Tang Ning first saw a burning white candle. The house was very old, and perhaps the electrical wires were not connected, so it could only be illuminated by candles. The faint candlelight cast a swaying shadow on the unpainted earthen wall.
There was not much furniture in the small room. Tang Ning saw an old and narrow wooden bed. Because the light was too poor, Tang Ning could not see clearly whether there was anyone lying on the bed. It seemed that there was only a quilt
In order to see the thing on the bed clearly, Tang Ning couldn't help but move closer, so close that he wanted to put his right eye completely over the hole.
However, as he got closer, what he saw in front of him was suddenly pitch black, as if it was blocked by something.
A strange scene that ordinary people could not see suddenly happened. A pair of pale hands silently grew out from the door. The slender hands pressed on the back of Tang Ning's head, and the ink-black nails flickered with a faint light.
Tang Ning was stunned for a moment. Before he could react to what was happening, something wet and soft licked his eyeball.
The eyeball is very fragile, but such a fragile organ is responsible for 70% of a person's perception of the outside world.
Tang Ning's mind went blank and he wanted to scream, but the overwhelming fear and excitement strangled his throat and he could only let out a faint "wooo" from the corner of his lips.
His slender neck tried to tilt back, but invisible hands pinched the back of his neck like a disobedient cat.
His shoulder blades and weak legs trembled together. A strange blush spread from the corners of his eyes, crawling up his cheeks, earlobes, neck and even fingertips. His entire trembling soul seemed to be licked greedily, over and over again, from beginning to end. The fear that grew in his heart became the nourishment for breeding sin.
No, don't
The tip of the scarlet tongue slid from the fragile lower eyelid to the clear eye, and then frivolously swept across the curled eyelashes—
Tears flowed from her beautiful eyes.
Then it was slowly rolled away by the tip of the tongue.
