Chapter 12 Bloodthirsty Love 1. Still in shock
Accompanied by the mournful music, Wu Yu, supported by the two men, crossed the river and came to an extremely dark place. Upon closer inspection, he found that the surroundings were all deserted cemeteries. Occasionally, crows could be seen flying overhead, and their wailing was enough to terrify people.
At the leader's signal, the coffin was slowly lowered into the cave that had been prepared long ago. After another round of mourning, it was quickly buried. At this moment, there was a noise in the coffin, and with a "bang", the coffin lid flew open. The ghost bride suddenly sat up, staring at everyone with wide eyes and laughing. Everyone present was shocked and stood there stupidly. No one knew who in the crowd shouted, "The corpse has turned into a corpse--" People woke up from their dreams and fled in all directions.
Wu Yu seemed to be frightened silly. His legs seemed to be filled with lead and he could only take half a step. He stared at the ghost bride intently. The two people who had supported him had disappeared long ago. The ghost bride slowly floated towards him, leaned close to his face and said grimly: "You - follow me!" Then she grabbed his hand tightly, not allowing him to resist, and floated towards the coffin. Wu Yu felt her hand was as cold as ice, and he couldn't help shivering. Wu Yu instinctively wanted to escape, but his hands and feet were completely out of control. Seeing that the ghost bride was about to drag him out of the coffin, at this critical moment, someone suddenly pulled Wu Yu from behind. Wu Yu couldn't help but screamed "Ah--" in surprise and joy.
"Yu, what's wrong with you?" After a while, Wu Yu slowly woke up and opened his eyes after hearing a soft whisper. Looking at the white figure in front of him, he couldn't react for a moment. When he rubbed his eyes again, he recognized that the figure was his girlfriend Li Yunyun, who had snatched him from the ghost bride.
"Yu, you finally woke up..." Yunyun cried and hugged him in her arms.
Wu Yu heard Yunyun's sobbing, and then looked around, and found that he was in the old house where he usually lived. He was so surprised that he was speechless.
"Where did you go yesterday? Why did you look like a ghost? I was so worried." Yunyun cried even louder and hugged Wu Yu tighter with both hands. Although her tone was reproachful, it was actually full of concern.
Wu Yu recalled the ghost wedding and felt that what he saw that day seemed to have happened in real life, but he couldn't remember why he was in the old house now. He had no choice but to ask Yunyun: "Why am I here? When did you come back?"
"What's wrong with you? You came back alone in the middle of last night. Have you forgotten everything?" Yunyun said as she let go of Wu Yu, wiped her tears with the corner of her clothes, and said in surprise.
"I... came back by myself?" Wu Yu was even more confused. How come he had no memory at all?
"Yu, you..." Yunyun looked at him in surprise.
Wu Yu suddenly thought of the ghost lady. Could it be that he was bewitched by the ghost lady? Thinking of this, his eyes, which were originally slightly closed, suddenly opened wide. At the same time, he thought of Su Wei and asked anxiously, "Where is Su Wei? Yun, have you seen Su Wei?"
Yunyun had no idea what Wu Yu was asking. She shook her head blankly and asked, "What happened?"
Wu Yu wanted to explain the ghost bride to Yunyun, but he was afraid that Yunyun would be frightened. After some consideration, he murmured, "Nothing happened. I just went to some villages in the ancient town to find a filming spot and asked Su Wei to go with me."
Yunyun was skeptical about Wu Yu's words, and vaguely felt that Wu Yu was hiding something from her, but seeing that he looked worried and didn't say anything, she didn't want to ask any more questions.
"You should get up and have lunch first. I'm going to the suburbs with Niao Niao to paint, and we may not be back until late. As for dinner, you can take care of it yourself." Yunyun said, turned around, walked to the door, opened it, and went out with an umbrella.
The moment Yunyun took the umbrella, Wu Yu could tell that it was not the Xishi umbrella she used to wear, and felt a little strange. Could it be that the Xishi umbrella was left at Old Master Liao's house? And where did Su Wei go? When Wu Yu thought of this, he hurriedly groped on the bed.
Wu Yu found his phone, opened it, and found 8 missed calls, almost all of which were from Yunyun yesterday. Two of them were from unfamiliar numbers. Wu Yu stared at them carefully for a while, and suddenly remembered that it was Su Wei's number, so he hurriedly called back.
The phone rang for a while, but no one answered. Wu Yu was even more surprised, thinking to himself, "Could something have happened to Su Wei?" The phone rang for a long time before someone answered. Before Wu Yu could speak, Su Wei asked, "Is that Wu Yu?"
"Yeah. Where are you now?"
"I'm still at Old Master Liao's house. I'll be back soon. How about you?"
"I have returned to the ancient house. As for what happened yesterday, you must tell me."
"I have no idea about this. Maybe both me and you were drugged by them."
Wu Yu was somewhat shocked after hearing this. He was silent for a while before saying, "I thought he was possessed by a ghost."
"This is a long story. I'll explain it to you when I get back. Oh no, someone's coming..." The person on the other end hung up before he could finish.
Wu Yu held the phone in his hand for a while, then he heard a gurgling sound and realized that he was hungry.
Wu Yu went to the kitchen to find some food, and after wolfing it down, he returned to his room to rest. Wu Yu looked up at the ceiling, and suddenly recalled what those people said yesterday about the ghost marriage in the old house. Thinking of the words about the ghost marriage in the mysterious letter, he began to suspect that Su Wei's death might be related to the ghost marriage two years ago. When he thought of this, a chill went straight into his heart, and he said to himself: "Do men who have married a ghost woman really not live long?" Wu Yu was afraid, but then he comforted himself that this was just a local superstitious legend and should not be taken seriously.
Wu Yu was thinking about something when his phone suddenly made a strange sound. Wu Yu was a little surprised. He looked at the caller and found that it was Xinluo. Wu Yu was stunned. Why would Xinluo call him at this time?
Before Wu Yu could speak, Xin Luo's nervous voice came from the other side: "Yu, come here quickly——"
"What's wrong? What happened?" Wu Yu asked puzzledly.
"There is a snake in the school, come quickly..." Wu Yu clearly heard Xinluo's nervous cry.
"I'll be right there." Wu Yu quickly hung up the phone and walked out.
As soon as he went out, Wu Yu felt a slight chill on his head. He raised his head, looked at the gloomy sky and sighed with annoyance. The dense drizzle always makes people annoyed.
Wu Yu hurried to the school, pushed the door open, and saw that it was empty, and Xinluo was nowhere to be seen. Wu Yu walked inside suspiciously, he felt that the atmosphere was not right, and he had a vague bad premonition, and at the same time he became more alert.
Wu Yu tensed up, feeling terrified with every step he took. Suddenly, a scream came from inside: "Ah——"
Wu Yu was shocked and walked quickly inside. As soon as he entered the kitchen, he saw Xin Luo's face was pale, her beautiful big eyes were full of fear, and she was trembling in the direction of the finger.
Wu Yu looked over and saw a poisonous snake spitting its tongue at Xinluo, making a "sizzling" sound. At this critical moment, Wu Yu saw a wooden stick on the floor on the left, and hurriedly picked it up and swung it at the poisonous snake. With a "snap" sound, it hit the snake's head and the snake's body immediately went limp.
Wu Yu's tense nerves finally relaxed. Xin Luo sobbed and threw herself into Wu Yu's arms, hugging him tightly, fearing that he would abandon her.
Wu Yu was stunned. The warm body temperature and faint fragrance of Xinluo aroused all his passion. He couldn't help but hug Xinluo back. He felt hot all over and kept comforting her: "It's okay, it's okay..."
After a while, Xinluo seemed to react, and quickly loosened her hands, looked at Wu Yu shyly, then wiped her tears and smiled, "Am I very timid?"
"Anyone would be scared if they encountered such a situation, let alone you are a girl." The moment Xinluo loosened his arm, Wu Yu felt a little disappointed and embarrassed.
Xinluo suddenly remembered something and said to Wu Yu with a smile, "Where's my photo?"
Wu Yu was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer her. He quickly said, "I haven't gotten it yet. I'll go to the photo studio to check later."
"Okay, I'll wait for you in the room in the evening." Xinluo's face flushed when she said this. Seeing Wu Yu looking at her stupidly, she turned her face away hurriedly.
After hearing this, Wu Yu felt very happy. Thinking about the meaning of this sentence, he couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.
Suddenly, Wu Yu's cell phone rang. He looked and saw that it was Su Wei calling, so he quickly picked up the phone.
Su Wei said on the phone: "I have returned to the old house, why don't I see you? Where have you been?"
Wu Yu wondered how he could get back to the old house so quickly. Could he have lied on the phone before? Although he thought so in his heart, he did not show it. He said calmly, "I'll be back now." Then he hung up.
Xinluo looked at him suspiciously. Wu Yu smiled and covered it up, saying, "I have something to do, so I'll go back first." Wu Yu was afraid that Xinluo would follow him out of curiosity, so he turned around and walked away without waiting for Xinluo to reply.
Xin Luo fell behind and said loudly: "Remember about the photo." Wu Yu turned around and looked at her, smiled and nodded, then went out.
As soon as Wu Yu left the house, he began to worry, wondering where to find the photo for her? When he thought of this, he thought of Meihua from the photo studio, so he called the number he had dialed last time. Wu Yu always felt that she had tampered with the photo.
"Hello, who is this?" Meihua's sweet voice came from the other end.
"My name is Wu Yu. May I ask if you have found a solution to the photo issue?"
The man was stunned for a moment, then continued, "This is all my fault. As for the incident with the photo last time, I have more or less guessed the reason."
"What's going on?" Wu Yu asked nervously.
"I remember that morning, only Niao Niao came. I thought it might be Niao Niao who took it. After all, the person in the photo was her sister."
Wu Yu suddenly realized what she said and remembered that he had seen the photo he took last time in Xinluo's room. If Niao Niao hadn't taken it, how could it be in their room? But there were some things Wu Yu still didn't understand. If Niao Niao had taken the first photo, why was the second photo blank? Could it be that Xinluo was really the reincarnation of the legendary fox?
"Okay, I got it." Wu Yu suddenly remembered Su Wei's matter, hung up the phone quickly, and walked faster.
Wu Yu returned to the room and pushed the door open. In the darkness, a figure was sitting motionless in front of the screen. From the back, it could be seen that it was Su Wei.
Su Wei heard the door open, turned around and asked, "Are you okay?"
Wu Yu thought of what happened yesterday and got angry. Just as he was about to get angry at him, Su Wei suddenly took out a stack of things from his back, put them on the table, and said slowly: "This was not my intention, and I didn't want to do it, but I didn't expect that they drugged us all. I was confused and didn't know what was going on. When I woke up, you had already followed the wedding procession out of the ancient town. Later I learned that they chose you to be the ghost groom. As for the uncomfortable feeling of being a ghost groom, I have experienced it, so I feel deeply guilty towards you. But I find it strange, what kind of drug did they put in the tea?"
When Wu Yu heard him say this, he looked at the money on the table, which was at least ten thousand yuan. Plus, he had volunteered to go with him to see what was going on, so he couldn't blame him entirely for what happened. But he couldn't get over it for the time being, so he remained silent.
Seeing that Wu Yu didn't say anything, Su Wei knew that he was no longer angry, and smiled and said, "It's all in the past. I think we shouldn't mention it in the future, okay?"
Wu Yu felt that if Yunyun knew about being a ghost groom, who knows what kind of trouble it would cause, so he looked at Su Wei, smiled, and tacitly agreed.
Su Wei understood what he meant, stood up and smiled at Wu Yu mysteriously, and said, "Aren't you afraid that the ghost lady will come back to find you?"
Wu Yu's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
Su Wei walked out the door and said without looking back: "The Xishi umbrella is placed at the corner of your door, be careful not to drop it."
Wu Yu looked over and saw that the Xishi umbrella was indeed placed at the corner of the door. Looking at Su Wei's figure going away, Wu Yu felt vaguely that Su Wei seemed to know some secrets of the ancient house, such as blue and white porcelain.
As soon as Wu Yu thought of blue and white porcelain, he immediately became uneasy again.
