Chapter 11: Ghost Marriage Shocks Again 1. Exploring the Ghost Marriage Again
At night, Wu Yu lit the lamp and sat in front of the screen, thinking. The image of Xin Luo dancing today and the words she said to him made his heart flutter. He felt that the photo was too weird, but who was behind it? Or was Xin Luo really a reincarnated fox? He felt that the latter was impossible. How could such a weird thing exist in the world? He suddenly remembered what Meihua said about the ghost marriage. Could it be true that as Hua said, ghosts could not enter the photo?
He suddenly had this idea: if he filmed the ghost wedding and took it back to the workplace, it would definitely be very popular. When he thought of the ghost wedding, he immediately took out the mysterious letter from the drawer. He looked at the five big words "Strange Ghost Wedding" described in the letter, which made him begin to suspect that Su Wei might still be alive, but what did these five words mean? Could it be related to Su Wei's mysterious death or disappearance? The more Wu Yu thought about it, the more confused he became. Suddenly, he thought of Su Wei again. He wondered if this mysterious person Su Wei was still paying attention to the ghost wedding...
Wu Yu was lost in thought and didn't hear the laughter outside the door. The door creaked open and Yunyun walked in with a smile. Wu Yu glanced at Yunyun and saw that Yunyun was smiling so brightly. He also smiled and said, "What's the matter? You're so happy."
"It's okay. I was just telling some jokes to Niao Niao Xinluo." Yunyun put the packed lunch box on the table and continued, "I drew a picture for Niao Niao today. I think it should be finished tomorrow."
Wu Yu said "hmm" and continued, "Have you discovered anything recently?"
Yunyun thought about it, and then answered, "I heard that a ghost wedding was held in the old house two years ago. Maybe Su Wei's mysterious death or disappearance is related to that ghost wedding."
Wu Yu was extremely surprised and couldn't wait to ask, "Where did you hear that?"
"Niao Niao said that when her family came back here, a strange ghost wedding happened to be held in the old house. Later, she heard that a person from Guangzhou died mysteriously."
Wu Yu was even more surprised after hearing this, thinking, could the letter really be related to Su Wei's death? If it was as Niao Niao said, then Su Wei's mysterious death had nothing to do with Niao Niao's family. If that was the case, then what was hidden behind the strange ghost marriage? Wu Yu had to think .
Wu Yu was thinking about this matter and did not go with Yunyun to Xinluo's side.
After dawn, Yunyun just got up and saw a figure sitting in front of the screen. She was surprised. After a closer look, it turned out to be Wu Yu. She asked, "Why are you up so early?"
Wu Yu turned around slowly. Through the dim light, Yunyun saw that Wu Yu looked pale. She was startled and said timidly, "What's wrong with you? You look so ugly."
Wu Yu's pale face twitched slightly, and he murmured, "Maybe I have a cold. I feel a little unwell."
After hearing this, Yunyun felt relieved. She walked over and stroked Wu Yu's head. She felt that his forehead was warm but not too hot. She said curiously, "It's okay."
"Perhaps."
Yunyun felt that Wu Yu seemed a little strange today, and was secretly shocked. At this time, there was a burst of footsteps outside the door, and Niao Niao called out, "Sister Yun, can we go now?"
"Okay, I'll be right there." Yunyun didn't have time to put on makeup and hurried out.
Wu Yu looked at her back with a strange smile on his face.
"The eyebrows outline the swing and talk about the north wind, the dragon turns red, the birds on the screen paint the peony just like you dressing up, the fragrance wafts through the window and I understand your thoughts..." Wu Yu suddenly woke up, it was just a dream. He looked at the caller with some annoyance, it was an unfamiliar number, and pressed the answer button in confusion.
There was silence on the other end of the phone. Wu Yu called several times but there was no answer. Wu Yu felt very strange and wondered who was causing the trouble.
After a moment of silence, the call was suddenly disconnected. Wu Yu looked at the incoming call in surprise, wondering who was calling this mysterious number? Why was the person not talking?
Wu Yu thought about it as he stood up and opened the door. It was still drizzling outside. He sighed and walked back into the room.
Just as he sat down on the chair, the phone rang again. Wu Yu was startled again and answered the call in confusion.
"Is that Wu Yu?" a male voice suddenly asked in a deep voice.
"Who are you?"
"I'm Su Wei. Are you still in the ancient house?"
"Um."
"Come to Xishi Umbrella Shop. I have something to talk to you about."
"What's up?"
"I told you when you came, yes, remember to bring your camera."
"Um."
Wu Yu took the camera and the Xishi Umbrella and went out. On the way, he was thinking about Su Wei, wondering what he wanted to talk to him about? Why did he go to the Xishi Umbrella Shop?
He arrived at the Xishi Umbrella Shop with doubts, and was a little surprised to see Su Wei chatting and laughing with Xiao Qing in the shop.
Su Wei and Xiao Qing had heard the footsteps earlier, looked up and saw Wu Yu coming, and smiled at him. Wu Yu's mouth also twitched.
Xiaoqing asked doubtfully, "Do you know each other?"
Wu Yu and Su Wei nodded at the same time.
"Let's go." Su Wei said to Xiaoqing, picked up an umbrella and went out.
Xiaoqing looked at them and nodded with a smile.
Wu Yu saw Su Wei holding a brand new umbrella in his hand and thought he came to the store to buy an umbrella.
As Su Wei and Wu Yu walked down the street, Su Wei asked, "Do you know that girl?"
" I met her . Oh, Niao Niao and she are good friends."
"Really?" Su Wei looked at the umbrella Wu Yu was holding in surprise, and then asked, "Why is the umbrella in your hand an oil-paper umbrella?"
"Have you heard the legend of the ancient town?"
Su Wei shook his head in confusion, apparently he was unaware of the situation.
"By the way, do you have something to talk to me about?" Wu Yu remembered the purpose of this trip and turned to ask Su Wei.
"I'll take you to a place that will broaden your horizons." Su Wei seemed to know what Wu Yu was thinking and answered slowly.
"Where?" Thinking that he would soon know the mystery of the ghost marriage, Wu Yu acted a little impatient.
"You'll know when you get there." Su Wei ignored Wu Yu's impatience and suddenly kept him in suspense.
Wu Yu found it incredible to see Su Wei being so mysterious, but he still followed him towards the pier.
The bluestone street seemed deserted because of the rain. The long street was empty and there were almost no people walking from beginning to end.
When they arrived at the pier, Su Wei walked up to a middle-aged boatman wearing rain gear and whispered something in his ear. After a while, he turned around and waved to Wu Yu, motioning him to come over.
After Wu Yu and Su Wei sat firmly in the cabin, the boatman slowly rowed the moss-covered bamboo pole.
Wu Yu saw that Su Wei was only staring at the raindrops outside and didn't pay any attention to him. He couldn't find any topic to talk about, so he just kept silent and carefully observed the cabin and the rain outside.
The boatman was busy rowing and had no energy to chat with them. Therefore, the only sound on the boat was the dripping rain and silence.
About half an hour later, they suddenly heard a burst of noisy voices. Su Wei asked the boatman, "Why is it so noisy outside?"
"You seem to be from other places. Haven't you heard of the strangest customs in the ancient town?"
"Is it a ghost marriage?" Wu Yu and Su Wei said almost at the same time.
"You know that too?" The boatman looked at them in surprise.
Wu Yu and Su Wei nodded.
The noisy sounds gradually became clearer, and I heard someone calling the boatman: "Hey, Ah San, where are you going?"
"Wumura."
"We are exactly that."
"Whose family has no young lady?"
"From the Liao family. I heard that the young lady was as beautiful as a fairy, but unfortunately she died soon after. [According to local customs, 'died' means passed away.]"
"Do you know how it disappeared?"
"I don't know the details, but I heard that he died of tuberculosis."
…
Wu Yu and Su Wei saw the boatman talking to someone, and couldn't help but go out of the cabin out of curiosity. Suddenly, they opened their eyes wide in surprise almost at the same time. They saw a bronze coffin sitting on the boat opposite, and next to the coffin were several men in strange clothes and an old boatman with a long beard.
After they looked at it, they turned around and went back to the cabin.
Wu Yu now understood the purpose of Su Wei calling him here.
At this time, the boatman continued, "I heard that the Liao family is very rich. I wonder which man they will choose to be the groom."
"I heard that they haven't found a suitable groom yet, because the deceased only liked handsome men when he was alive. So Mr. Liao said that he would find a satisfactory one no matter how much money he spent. But it's easier said than done. Which man is willing to be a ghost groom?"
"That's true, but money talks. Maybe someone will do it for the money."
"It's hard to say. The ad has been posted for a few days and no one seems to have gone there."
"By the way, it is said that any man who becomes a ghost groom will be haunted by a ghost bride for the rest of his life, and therefore will not live long."
…
Wu Yu and Su Wei were very surprised after listening to their conversation. Wu Yu thought of the day when Su Wei was a ghost bridegroom, and suddenly he felt that the legend told by the boatman was true, and the ghost of the ghost bride might come to haunt Su Wei. Thinking of this, he suddenly looked at Su Wei with sympathy, wondering if he wanted to be a ghost bridegroom again this time?
Su Wei seemed to feel the same way. His originally calm face turned pale in an instant, and he looked outside the boat with his brows furrowed.
