Chapter 15: A Ghost Marriage
When Zhu Jiang went to change his clothes, Wang Qing asked quietly, "What did you just say? Let them get married?"
"This woman's ghost is still lingering because she has a knot in her heart. If she wants to untie it, it's obviously this man. There is a causal relationship between the two of them. If he really regrets it and sincerely wants to marry her, then it will be easy to deal with."
"What if he just lied to you?"
Wang Jingzhe squinted his eyes and said, "Is it so convincing? What kind of acting skills does he have? Is he a professional? What kind of eyes do I have? Can't I see this?"
Wang Qing thought about it and nodded, "That's the case."
Zhu Jiang changed his clothes, and the three of them went out, but they did not go to the subway station first. Instead, they ran to the store and bought a lot of preparation things. Then they waited until about eleven o'clock in the evening. The three of them entered the subway and slowly waited for the last train to arrive.
At 11 o'clock, the last subway arrived at the station. The three of them entered the car from the platform. Zhu Jiang was completely sober by this time and asked in a daze, "Why are you taking the subway so late?"
"Waiting for people, not... waiting for ghosts"
"Swish" all the lights in the car suddenly went out. Wang Qing's breathing suddenly became heavy. He stuck close to Wang Jingzhe. Even though this was the third time this had happened, he began to shiver again as a conditioned reflex.
"Whoosh!" A small chilly wind blew up from the ground, making people feel cold to the bone. Wang Qing and Zhu Jiang crossed their arms and swallowed their saliva. After a while, Wang Jingzhe suddenly turned his head to look at the carriage in the distance. They followed his sight and saw a woman with disheveled hair and in a red dress slowly walking towards them.
"It's coming, it's coming," Wang Qing said tremblingly.
Zhu Jiang was immediately startled, and he slid off the chair and sat on the ground with a scream. He said in horror: "Ghost, ghost? We have encountered a ghost!"
Wang Jingzhe grabbed his shoulders and pinned him to the ground. After a moment, the woman opposite came over, holding a bunch of flyers in her hands, and mechanically repeated the words: "Buy one, buy one..."
Zhu Jiang almost collapsed, struggling to stand up. An ordinary person would be scared to death in such a situation, but Wang Jingzhe still held him down and pulled him up, while looking up and shouting at the female ghost: "Look who this is?"
The woman slowly turned her head and revealed a fragmented face when she raised it. She was obviously stunned when she saw Zhu Jiang. Then she screamed miserably and all the advertisements in her hands fell to the ground. Wang Qing clearly saw that all the small advertisements on the ground turned into pieces of paper money and ghost money.
"Shua" the female ghost suddenly stretched out her arm and pinched Zhu Jiang's neck, roaring fiercely: "I've been waiting for you, I've finally been waiting for you..."
"Cough, cough, cough." Zhu Jiang struggled desperately, trying to pry the other person's arms open. Two hand marks instantly appeared on his neck.
"He's almost being strangled to death, and you don't want to do anything?" Wang Qing asked fearfully.
"Don't worry, you won't die."
When Zhu Jiang was about to be strangled to death, the woman suddenly put down her hands, staring at Zhu Jiang's face with bloodshot eyes, repeating sentence after sentence: "Why did you lie to me? Why? You promised to marry me, and I even aborted the child for you, but why did you lie to me?"
“Cough, cough, cough…” Zhu Jiang coughed a few times and said in horror: “You, you are Xiaoyue, Yuan Xiaoyue?”
"Why did you lie to me, why..."
Wang Jingzhe suddenly interrupted and said, "Tell her what you said before."
"I, what did I say?"
"Say you didn't lie to her, something from the bottom of your heart, hurry up, if you don't she'll easily strangle you to death, and then no one will be able to save you."
Zhu Jiang was dumbfounded: "You tricked me into coming here, you are going to kill me!"
"You're not dead yet, let's talk about it after you die. Hurry up..." Wang Jingzhe urged impatiently.
The woman suddenly pounced on him ferociously again, and when she was about to strangle Zhu Jiang, he reacted instantly.
"Gulp." Zhu Jiang swallowed his saliva, twisted his head stiffly, and said in horror: "Xiaoyue, I didn't lie to you, I really didn't lie to you. I wanted to marry you at that time, but my family didn't agree and I had no choice. I didn't expect that you would suddenly die of depression. After your death, I have been feeling guilty and self-blaming. I have been living a life worse than death every day. I regret it so much, I really regret it. In fact, I have always loved you."
The woman's hand stopped just when she was about to strangle Zhu Jiang's neck. She murmured, "You lied to me. I'm dead now, and you still lie to me."
"No, really not. If you give me another chance, I will definitely marry you."
Wang Jingzhe checked the time. It was a quarter past eleven. He suddenly stepped forward and inserted himself between the two of them and said, "If you want to know whether he cheated on you or not, why don't you let him marry you once and you'll know?"
Zhu Jiang asked in a daze: "What marriage? Isn't she dead? How can we get married?"
"Ghost marriage!" Wang Jingzhe said these two words, and then said to Yuan Xiaoyue: "Your soul is still lingering because you feel that he abandoned you, right? You two can have a ghost marriage, and you will know whether he lied to you in the first place."
Zhu Jiang nodded with a dull look in his eyes and said, "Yes, I do. Anyway, my life is worse than death. I can be relieved by marrying you. Otherwise, I can't live for the rest of my life."
Normally, a person with a relatively good heart would feel a certain degree of guilt if he knew that he had caused the death of another person. Some people would even suffer from a trauma in their hearts for the rest of their lives. Zhu Jiang was obviously in this state. What's more important was that the person who died was the woman he once loved.
After hearing Zhu Jiang's personal promise to marry her in the afterlife, Yuan Xiaoyue gradually calmed down. Wang Jingzhe took out a piece of talisman paper and said, "I'll seal it inside for you. I'll hold a ghost marriage for you two tonight, and you'll know about it in the afterlife and reincarnate in the underworld sooner."
Yuan Xiaoyue's eyes suddenly ooze out two streams of blood, and she said, "Okay, I want to see if you are sincere."
"Come in..." Wang Jingzhe handed out the talisman paper and sealed Yuan Xiaoyue's soul inside.
"Ding Dong, Ding Dong" the subway started moving at this time, and the shield door opened and the three people walked out.
Wang Qing suddenly felt a chill on the back of his head. He turned around and looked for a while before finding a child with braids on the subway car, smiling at him with his eyes open and most of his head exposed.
"Also, there's still more, how come there's still more..." Wang Qing grabbed Wang Jingzhe's arm and shouted in panic.
Wang Jingzhe raised his head, frowned, and glanced at the carriage: "Get lost!"
"Swoosh" the little ghost disappeared in an instant.
