A few days later, two women, one old and one young, appeared in the mountains. They were Lin Fengniang and Wu Ximei. Lin Feng's soul looked at Wu Ximei, who was wearing a white gauze on her head. With tears streaming down her face, she knelt down in front of Lin Feng's grave, burned paper, lit incense and kowtowed, and couldn't get up for a long time.
Lin Fengniang helped her up, took the thousand-character whip she bought in her hand and said, "Xiao Wu, stand over there, I'll set off the whip."
Wu Ximei walked to a fir tree on the other side of the cemetery and listened to the crackling sound of whips, which was like hearing the sound of her own heart breaking. She lowered her head and remained in a state of silence.
When the sound of whips stopped, there was the cry of Mrs. Lin Feng, who was lying in front of the grave. Wu Ximei walked over quietly and took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears and comforted her, "Auntie, please have my condolences." Lin Fengniang then stood up and said: Xiao Wu, if my son has a spirit in heaven, he will definitely bless you. Wu Ximei nodded. Lin Fengniang said again, you are still young, find another one! Wu Ximei shook her head and said in a choked voice, Aunt, don't talk about that matter, I'm not in the mood.
When Wu Ximei talked about this, Xu Cungui was also quite sad. He said calmly, I realize that you haven't gotten over the shadow of losing your fiancé yet. Besides, this doesn’t affect your teaching in class! If you don't speak, are you going to be a mute teacher?
Wu Ximei tilted her head and replied with a sigh, "I'm stuck." Xu Cungui asked in confusion, what? Wu Ximei blinked her eyes and said helplessly, I didn't sleep well this night and didn't have the strength to speak. Xu Cungui said, tell me what makes you unable to sleep well! Wu Ximei picked up her tea cup and took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, then told her about a haunted and terrifying incident that she couldn't escape.
For several nights in a row, Wu Ximei, who lived in a single dormitory, could not sleep well. That's because Wu Ximei turned off the light and lay on the bed. While she was snoring slightly, Lin Feng's soul flashed in. It started like a wisp of smoke and slowly turned into a black shadow. He approached Wu Ximei and reached out to pat her body, whispering. Shouting, Ximei, Ximei, I miss you so much.
At this time, Wu Ximei felt fascinated and could not move her body. Her mouth could only move slightly, but she could not open it, let alone speak.
Lin Feng's soul hugged Wu Ximei's body tightly and said stubbornly, I want to marry you. The wedding room has been prepared and the dowry has been prepared for you. You don't need to buy it. I want to be your ghost happily. husband. Wu Ximei could not speak and could only shake her head slightly.
Lin Feng's soul said sensitively and frustratedly, why are you shaking your head? Don't shake your head, you have to promise me. From tonight onwards, I will sleep with you every day until I marry you as my ghost bride. I will no longer sleep here, and neither will you.
Wu Ximei wanted to knock Lin Feng's soul off her body, but she still couldn't move her body. She could only move slightly.
At this moment, the sound of roosters was heard in the distance, and Lin Feng's soul immediately left her body. He walked to the door of the room and turned back to her and said: I will come back tomorrow night. Wu Ximei's body relaxed and she could move, but she could no longer sleep.
The second night, the third night... Lin Feng's soul would not break his promise and would come every night, and would not leave until the rooster crows. Just last night, before Lin Feng's soul left, he took Wu Ximei's hand and told her something that she was very afraid of - I will come to get married tomorrow night, I have arranged the wedding team, and I have taken care of our bridal chamber. Colorful and colorful, you will definitely be happy.
After Lin Feng's soul floated away like a wisp of smoke, Wu Ximei "woke up" and couldn't sleep anymore. She sat up and cried.
Xu Cungui didn't quite believe it when Wu Ximei told such a weird thing, but he didn't completely disbelieve it either. He said, is there really a ghost? I am an atheist and a complete materialist. Wu Ximei pondered for a moment, unable to refute, so she held a black braid hanging in front of her neck and said stubbornly, "What I said is all true."
Xu Cungui stood up and expressed his position, "You said it is true, but I will give it a try."
How to try? Wu Ximei looked at him with wide eyes and spoke for a while before acquiescing.
At night, Wu Ximei walked into Xu Cungui's dormitory wearing men's clothes, closed the door, and fell asleep. Xu Cungui arranged for students living on campus to take turns standing guard at the door of Wu Ximei's dormitory all night long. After that, he walked into Wu Ximei's dormitory wearing women's clothes, locked the door, and fell asleep.
At midnight, a burst of festive gongs and drums sounded in the wilderness. Lin Feng's soul gradually appeared at the gate of the campus riding a tall horse, and a sedan chair carried by four ghost servants also followed. After the deafening sound of firecrackers, there was the sweet sound of suona.
Xu Cungui, who was sleeping in Wu Ximei's dormitory, seemed to hear the sound of gongs, drums, firecrackers, and suonas clearly. He wanted to sit up, but he couldn't move since he was lying on the bunk.
Four ghost messengers entered the room and saw a person wearing women's clothes sleeping on the bunk. They thought it was the bride, so they pulled her spirit body off the bunk and covered the "bride's" head with a prepared red hijab. On the head. In fact, the "bride" was Xu Cungui, but the ghost guards didn't realize it. At this time, one of the ghosts took Xu Cungui's spirit body out of the dormitory.
When Xu Cungui's spirit walked out of the door, he gently lifted his red hijab and saw the school's first sentry - the students standing guard at the door of Wu Ximei's dormitory. He shouted several times, but they were like deaf people who couldn't hear, so they didn't do anything. move.
Xu Cungui's spirit body was helped onto the sedan chair parked on the school playground. There was another burst of firecrackers, followed by the sound of gongs, drums and suonas intertwined together, making it very lively.
The second sentry post arranged by Xu Cungui - the students on night watch on the playground are still unaware of it.
Lin Feng's soul rode a tall horse, with a smile on his face and a wave of his hand. The ghost wedding team accompanied by the sound of gongs, drums, suonas, and firecrackers, surrounded by sedans, meandered toward the campus gate.
The third sentry post arranged by Xu Cungui - five students sitting side by side at the campus gate, actually let the mighty ghost wedding team pass by without noticing.
After leaving the campus and walking for a while, the spirit body of Xu Cungui, who was sitting in the sedan chair, lifted up his red hijab and looked out. He saw a village next to a village; then he saw a wilderness; then he saw a mountainous land. Cemetery. He let the red hijab cover his face in surprise, not wanting to continue looking.
Four ghost messengers stopped the sedan chair in front of a new grave, and one of them took the bride out of the sedan chair. Xu Cungui's spirit body quietly lifted up his red hijab and looked outside. It was different from what he saw at first. In front of him was a new house, with a wedding couplet affixed on both sides of the door, with the horizontal inscription: Newlyweds. The first couplet: A gentleman's love for gold and jade is infinitely beautiful; the second couplet: A lady's well-proportioned flowers are particularly fragrant.
At this time, Lin Feng's soul jumped off the horse and happily took the bride's hand and walked towards the new house. The ghost wedding team beat the gongs and drums loudly.
It was late at night, and Wu Ximei, who was sleeping in Xu Cungui's dormitory, suddenly woke up and vaguely heard the crowing of roosters in the distance. She yawned and said to herself, Alas, I slept much more peacefully tonight.
The clock on the table was ticking. Wu Ximei heard it more clearly and her thoughts became clearer. She was wondering what time it was, so she turned on the hood lamp and saw that it was three o'clock in the morning.
She turned off the light and lay down again, but she couldn't fall asleep. It would be several hours before she could get up. Wu Ximei wanted to ask Principal Xu whether he slept peacefully in her dormitory.
