"Ling Feng, why don't you take this risk?"
Ye Wanru asked me for my opinion.
I shook my head and drank the black bowl of wine without saying a word.
Ye Wanru couldn't help but sweat for me, and said nervously:
"You just drink it like this? You don't even smell it?"
I wiped the corners of my mouth and said, "No need. In fact, none of the three bowls of wine can be poisonous. The reason why I chose the black bowl was entirely because I remembered a sentence."
"What words?"
"When you come out of the mud, you are not stained; when you wash the clear ripples, you are not a monster! Everyone in the world thinks that ghosts are scary and ferocious. But in my eyes, human beings are the same as ghosts, with good and bad qualities. In these three bowls of wine, black represents ghosts, just like darkness. The product of the sun. The red represents humans, with flesh and blood. The transparent bowl represents God in the light, as clean as a mirror..."
"Then why did you choose black?" Ye Wanru interrupted me.
I said lightly: "There are four points of water under the black color. I am short of water in the five elements. Also, on the day I was born, my mother wrapped me in a black cloth. On my first birthday, the gift I received was a black towel..., The first time I applied for a job, I was introduced by a black agency..."
"Wait, your answer seems to be off topic!" Ye Wanru interrupted me again, "Can you be more serious about your wedding tonight?"
Inside the room, people laughed loudly: "Jiahui, your husband is very bragging!"
"Can you sum it up in one sentence?" Ye Wanru frowned at me.
I thought for a few seconds and replied: "Because Jiahui likes black!"
"It's that simple?"
"Yes, is it that simple?"
"So, you love Sister Jiahui very much?"
"I don't know. I've never even met her. But I will fulfill the promise I made, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead!"
Ye Wanru murmured: "Is this the reason why you risked your life for her last night?"
"Maybe! It's like, if I ask you to borrow five yuan and agree to pay it back tomorrow, I will definitely pay it back tomorrow..."
"How do you keep a straight face and talk nonsense without laughing?"
Ye Wanru finished asking.
A serious voice came from the inner room:
"Congratulations to your uncle, you chose poisonous wine!" "You dare to drink the black stuff, it has such a unique taste!"
There was silence for a moment...
a long time!
Ye Wanru was stunned and didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "No matter how smart and eloquent you are, it's useless if you are unlucky!"
Qingfeng also shook his head and expressed regret to me.
"Poisoned wine? Impossible..."
I just said something to myself, but before I could finish my words, I felt a strong pain in my abdomen.
Immediately, Qi and blood surged, and he spit out a mouthful of black blood.
"Is it really poisonous wine?"
Ye Wanru looked at me in surprise, his face turned pale!
"Uncle, you failed the challenge. Please go back and we will detoxify you in the future."
I said coldly: "What if I don't go back?"
"That's the only way to die!"
Hearing this, Ye Wanru said with a sad face: "Aren't you getting married? How come it's like gambling on your life?"
I don’t understand either!
But I still took a step forward and said: "I know I am not worthy of Miss Jiahui. But Miss Jiahui is kind to me. If I could see Jiahui today, I would die without regrets!"
I'm going to die anyway, and I don't care if it's sooner or later.
The female ghost in the room asked: "In order to see Jiahui, are you willing to risk your life?"
"yes!"
I said, taking another step forward, my hand was already on the wooden door, making a gesture of preparing to push the door open.
"Stop!"
Xie Jiahui finally spoke, "Don't come in, you will really die. The poisonous wine you drank is the poison I raised. Once you are five steps away from me, you will die suddenly! Now we are about six steps apart. , if you take one more step forward, you will die immediately!"
I smiled and said, "I am also afraid of death. But I am a person who believes that when doing one thing, I will only move forward, not retreat."
Finished.
I pushed the door gently.
It's strange to say that.
Just now I couldn't push the door open with so much force, but now with a gentle push, the door actually opens.
My heart surged.
Look inside.
There was a person inside, wearing a red ancient wedding dress, red embroidered shoes, and a red cloth covering his head, sitting upright on a wooden bed.
What surprised me was that the female ghosts who had just spoken inside were gone.
There were only four weird paper-making figures left in the room.
Just a few seconds after I entered, the paper figures spontaneously ignited and smoke billowed!
Several female ghost voices echoed in the room: "Congratulations, uncle! We are leaving. I wish you and Jiahui a happy marriage forever!"
May we be together for ten thousand years? Do I have an immortality?
I smiled and asked the woman sitting on the bed, "Jiahui, is that you?"
"Yeah!" The woman sitting on the bed nodded delicately.
"How come I didn't die suddenly?"
Xie Jiahui chuckled and said, "You speak so nicely, how can people be willing to let you die?"
"Was this your test just now?"
"Um!"
"Can you let me see you?"
"You answer a few questions for me first."
"what is the problem?"
"If I were old and ugly, would you dislike me?"
"It's the same even if the lights are turned off. Even if we have a wedding in the daytime, I can only tie your head with a black bag. What does it matter if you are old and ugly?"
Xie Jiahui smiled and said: "Don't you dislike me for being a ghost? As the saying goes, ghosts have different paths!"
I said calmly: "That's disgusting! I can't marry anyone anyway. If others know that I burned corpses, they will run around on eight legs! Besides, I don't have many days left to live!"
"What did you say?"
Xie Jiahui suddenly stood up, "What's wrong with you?"
"No, it's nothing! Let's talk about it when we get home, okay?"
"Um!"
Xie Jiahui didn't ask any more questions, walked over slowly and held my hand.
Her hands were cold, even colder than Ye Wanru's body temperature.
I held her like a cold, soft sponge.
He grabbed her hand, then took out the silver ring he bought from his pocket and put it on the ring finger of her right hand: "Maybe, this is the only thing I can give you!"
It's strange to say that the size of the ring I bought based on my feeling fit her hand just right.
It was just a silver ring that, as soon as it was put into her hand, suddenly turned black under the candlelight, like an oxidation reaction.
Before I could be surprised, Xie Jiahui smiled and said, "Are you reluctant to buy anything gold?"
"I have no money, I have all my wealth..."
"hehe……"
Looking out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly noticed a problem.
Xie Jiahui is very tall, about 1.7 meters tall, and I am seven or eight centimeters taller than her.
This kind of figure would be a model figure in modern times. I wonder what she looks like.
Xie Jiahui said: "Carry me out!"
I nodded and leaned down.
Xie Jiahui lay gently on her back, pointed to the front and said, "Close your eyes later. No matter what sound you hear, don't open your eyes. Do you understand?"
I asked: "Why?"
"Anyway, just listen to me and don't ask any more questions!"
I nodded.
As soon as I walked out of the door, my eyes turned black.
The lively scene when we first arrived has completely disappeared.
There are no houses or courtyards, and no crowds.
I saw a red sedan floating on the weeds in front. Four men with pale faces were carrying the sedan.
