I don’t know how to describe it. A village that was empty a second ago turned into a lot of people out of thin air.
There are all men, women and children, their faces are blue and their clothes are very retro.
The men were wearing those kind of long gowns from the Republic of China, and the women were wearing various kinds of skirts, with their hair tied up, and embroidered shoes on their feet. At first glance, they looked like ordinary people.
I was so frightened that I was like a little white rabbit that suddenly broke into a wolf's den, surrounded by all the aliens who were watching eagerly. Even Fang Yunhe, the only fellow of his kind, was assimilated by them and sat among a group of dead ghosts. Watch the ghost show with interest.
Yes, this is a ghost show!
My grandma once told me that ghosts down there have to eat, sleep, listen to opera and sing just like living people.
Especially in the seventh month of the lunar calendar, before and after the Ghost Festival, the gates of ghosts have not yet been closed. In order to reward the ghosts and gods, some places will specially invite opera troupes to set up stages to sing ghost plays.
There are also rules for singing ghost plays. No matter what happens, whether there is an audience or not, the performance cannot be stopped midway.
However, today's play is even more ferocious. Not to mention the audience, even the singers on the stage are ghosts. We have stabbed the den of ghosts.
I suppressed my fear and roughly understood what was happening. It was probably the coffin bearer who lured us here on purpose.
Here, a ghost drama is being sung on the stage, and we are in another drama of survival from the tiger's mouth below the stage.
How to leave under the nose of hundreds of ghosts is a headache.
It's already difficult for me to be alone, but this guy Fang Yunhe is actually holding me back, which makes me so angry.
When I was worried, the song officially started singing loudly on the stage.
The plaintive hanging voice floated faintly, like fingernails scratching ground glass, lingering in my ears for a long time, making my hair stand on end, and goosebumps fell all over the floor.
I couldn't understand what they were singing. Most of them were in ghost language, but according to the melodious and resentful melody, it should be a love drama about an obsessed man and a resentful woman.
It was also my first time to listen to a ghost show. I was scared but also a little curious, what does this ghost show look like?
With this curiosity in mind, I secretly looked towards the ancient stage. As soon as I took a glance, I looked away in horror, my heart beating wildly.
I go!
There are no actors on this stage at all, but two paper figures with painted eyebrows singing!
There are two paper figures, a man and a woman. The man is wearing a navy blue robe and the woman is wearing a lotus skirt. The two paper figures are like people, slowly changing their postures and floating around on the stage.
I immediately lost my composure. I took a few steps forward and grabbed Fang Yunhe's sleeves to forcefully take him away, but he forcefully pulled me back onto the bench.
"Why are you so anxious? The show has just begun. Let's talk about it after watching it." Fang Yunhe smiled and held me down with his fingers.
I saw him winking and a sly light flashed in his eyes, and I sighed to myself: Could it be that he was not fascinated but was here to listen to the show on purpose?
I was unsure, and when I was hesitating, a big cold hand held my finger, and Jiang Lanyue's low voice sounded in my ears: "I'm here, don't be afraid!"
His appearance was like a reassurance for me, and I was immediately not so afraid.
"Where did you go just now?" I asked him in a low voice, somewhat reproachfully in my tone.
Jiang Lanyue was close to me, her arms naturally wrapped around me, and she was always on guard at all times.
"I've always been by your side, but...your eyes have never fallen on me." Jiang Lanyue's voice was muffled, and seemed to be a bit resentful.
I curled my fingers mischievously and scratched his soft palm: "Are you angry?"
"No." Jiang Lanyue said in a deep voice, her mood not too high.
I looked at the ghosts all around me and leaned into his ear: "There are so many Ah Piao here, I almost died of fright, but it's good for you that you still got into trouble with me."
I think Jiang Lanyue is acting strange tonight. I can't tell what is strange about her.
Jiang Lanyue stared at the stage with a dark face: "Since you were scared, why didn't you call me right away? You still had time to care about Fang Yunhe."
I almost burst into laughter, so I was so angry with him!
It's my fault that I didn't call him immediately, but instead gave Fang Yunhe my eyes.
I don't know how to explain it. It happened suddenly. I really didn't think much about it at the time. I just thought that Fang Yunhe would come with me. If I wanted to run away, I would have to take him with me.
Unexpectedly, I kicked someone's jealousy.
Even though the environment didn't allow it, even though there were ghosts all around me, the corners of my mouth still slightly raised unconsciously.
"I can't stand it, I really can't stand it." Fang Yunhe shuddered next to him: "Tragedy is being sung on the stage, but you are spreading dog food in the audience. Is this appropriate?"
I stared at him in surprise: "Can you see my ghost?"
Fang Yunhe rubbed his arms with his hands, showing a numb expression: "I couldn't see it before, but now... I can see it very clearly."
As he spoke, he raised his hand to say hello to Jiang Lanyue.
Jiang Lanyue maintained a cold attitude and nodded gently, responding to him.
"We've reached the ghost world, can't we see ghosts?" Fang Yunhe said without hesitation.
"Ghost world?" I immediately held Jiang Lanyue's hand tightly.
If I remember correctly, I cannot go to the underworld in the underworld. There is a person from the underworld who is chasing me all the time.
Okay, why did you come to the ghost world?
Seeing that my face was full of confusion and fear, Fang Yunhe pursed his lips and smiled: "Now that you have come, let's make peace with it. Since they have set up a stage for us to perform this play, why not calm down and take a look at what is going on in it?" Qiankun?"
Fang Yunhe was calm, adhering to the principle of joining if he couldn't beat him, and taking a look first before talking.
Jiang Lanyue neither agreed nor objected, but stared deeply at the paper man on the stage.
If eyes could emit fire, the paper man on the stage would have been burned to ashes.
I sighed: "It's a good idea to settle down when it comes. Let's take a closer look to see what kind of drama is going on..."
The play on stage is not long, and it is about a pair of resentful couples.
The part I missed before was filled in by Fang Yunhe: "It probably means that this young handsome man risked his life to save Xiao Mei, but Xiao Mei turned out to be a jackal and a leopard. She approached Xiao Shuai with ulterior motives from the beginning. She wanted to kill him. He's coming."
"Xiaoshuai knew that Xiaomei wanted to kill him, but he was obsessed with love and was willing to be killed by Xiaomei. As a result, Xiaoshuai's relatives and friends found out, and they have been preventing Xiaoshuai from getting close to Xiaomei."
"But this handsome man is like a drunken man. He would rather give up his life to protect Xiaomei, but his family is worried to death..."
Fang Yunhe used the current Douyin video explanation method to translate the obscure plot into an easy-to-understand story, turning it into a romantic drama.
I was so absorbed in listening that I didn't notice that the big hand holding me was getting tighter and tighter... almost crushing my bones.
"It hurts..." I took a breath and pulled my fingers out desperately.
Jiang Lanyue looked at my hand in panic, the emotions in her eyes were complicated and difficult to understand.
When he raised his head again, his eyes were filled with overwhelming anger, and he drew his knife and slashed towards the stage!
