Chapter 34: Fate (Twenty-eight)
Before opening it, Song Yanchi was still thinking about what to do if the coffin was empty. After all, Sun Peipei was needed for this wedding.
Fortunately, after opening the coffin, the female corpse in her wedding dress was found lying quietly in the coffin.
Although his face was covered by a veil, the oppression brought by his identity did not diminish at all. If he had not been afraid that he would not have time to escape if the female ghost suddenly attacked, Zhou Lian would have turned his head like Brother Chen. And I don't know if it was because of what Song Yanchi said last night, when Su Yan looked at the female corpse lying in the coffin, her fear was mixed with some inexplicable emotions.
However, it was okay for two people to support the corpse, but it was really difficult for one person to support the corpse, so there were not many postures left for Song Yanchi.
Even Su Yan realized this and her eyes fell on Song Yanchi. She remembered that a female star once revealed in an interview that she was carried home by a male star after getting drunk. The various conditions described by the other party at that time all pointed directly to Song Yanchi. Rumors spread on the Internet for a while, and the female star also liked these speculative comments and then cancelled them, saying that she slipped her hand.
At that time, Song Yanchi directly posted a Weibo to clarify that he had never carried anyone on his back. This reply became a hot search for a while, and some people went to dig up the music MV he had shot before and found that the heroine in the MV was indeed carried back by him. Some people think that Song Yanchi is unromantic, while others are curious whether Song Yanchi would do the same thing when he meets someone he likes.
Su Yan also joined in the fun and watched the MV at that time. She could tell at a glance that Song Yanchi's posture was intended to lift up the female corpse.
In fact, she guessed correctly. Song Yanchi did subconsciously want to adopt the posture that was most convenient for him before.
Just as he reached out and touched the female corpse's arm, he felt the female corpse grab his hand in return.
Song Yanchi thought it was the female ghost who suddenly attacked him. The next second when he raised his hand to shake her off, he felt the ghost's cold fingertips hooking his palm, as if writing "no", with force penetrating his palm .
Song Yanchi: "..."
Although according to what he learned from the villagers about Sun Peipei's educational background, she must have taken foreign language classes, this did not prevent him from associating it with another person.
The other party could actually guess that I was going to carry her...
No, that's not the point. Qiao Yuan, who has been missing since this morning, is actually lying here? !
He was not stupid. When he realized this, he immediately guessed Qiao Yuan's general plan, but this only made him more silent.
Because of the angle, the others could not see the small movements in the coffin, they could only see that Song Yanchi seemed to hesitate for a moment. Brother Chen was a little dizzy from the stench in the room, and could not help but urge him to hurry up.
The body was quicker to realize, and by the time Song Yanchi realized that it was Qiao Yuan in front of him, he had already turned around and carried the bride...or Qiao Yuan on his back.
Song Yanchi didn't expect that he would subconsciously carry out Qiao Yuan's order again.
He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he felt that Qiao Yuan seemed heavier than when he helped to hang on the wire last night.
Even with the weight on his back, Song Yanchi's body remained straight without any bend. The head of the female corpse fell on his shoulder, and her arms, which were hidden under her sleeves, fell naturally.
However, Zhou Lian still found that Song Yanchi's body was much stiffer than before. He sneered in his heart, thinking that the other party did not look as calm as he appeared.
After the bride and groom were taken out of the coffin, Brother Chen finally didn't have to stay here any longer. While motioning for a few people to follow him, he turned around and walked out of the room first.
Zhou Lian, who was holding the groom's body, finally showed his humility this time and let Song Yanchi, who was carrying the female corpse, walk in front of them. Anything could happen before the female corpse was put into the coffin, so Zhou Lian had to ensure that the female corpse was within his sight so that he could react in time.
Zhou Lian's little thoughts naturally could not be hidden from Song Yanchi. After glancing at him with contempt, he walked forward carrying the female corpse on his back.
Only then did Zhou Lian let Su Yan follow him, holding the corpse.
When he thought of the two bodies behind him, Brother Chen walked much faster than before and quickly walked out of the yard.
The red sedan had already stopped outside, and the curtain was opened, revealing a seat inside that was just big enough for one person. The villagers carrying the sedan didn't want to touch the female corpse, so Song Yanchi put it in.
As soon as the curtain was lowered, Grandma Agu rushed over. Her eyes first fell on the sedan chair, and her eyes revealed undisguised disgust.
The village chief who had been with her before was nowhere to be seen.
Listening to her and others' explanation, the village chief was still comforting his wife and would come over after she was settled. When facing the villagers, her attitude and tone were neither hurried nor anxious, and her attitude was very kind. No wonder the villagers were in awe of her.
When he saw Granny Agu, Zhou Lian felt relieved. Although Song Yanchi didn't show it on his face, his heart was in his throat. He subconsciously looked at Granny Agu from the corner of his eye. When he saw Granny Agu walking towards the sedan chair, he subconsciously held his breath.
As soon as Granny Agu approached, she felt the ghostly aura, although it was very faint. However, she remembered that the wedding dress she had previously sewn had a suppressing effect, so she did not think much about it and asked the villagers to lift the curtain for her.
Because of her height, she had to look up to see the other person, and this posture of looking up obviously made Grandma Agu very uncomfortable. However, this did not bother Grandma Agu, and she gently signaled the villagers beside her to help her lift the veil.
The bride and groom are already dead, so there is no need to follow the rule that only the groom .
At first the villagers were a little hesitant, but when they thought of the presence of Grandma Agu and the other party's instigation, they finally reached out their hands.
Song Yanchi didn't know what Qiao Yuan was feeling at the moment, but it was the first time that his heart beat so fast for someone else. He watched the villagers' hands touch the veil, but Qiao Yuan was still sitting in the same position without any movement.
If it weren't for the other party's little tricks before, when he carried Qiao Yuan on his back, the other party's low body temperature and the unresponsive body from beginning to end would have made him suspect for a time that he was carrying a real ghost.
Just when he was about to find an excuse to interrupt, a shrill scream suddenly rang out, startling the villager and he quickly retracted his hand as if it had been burned.
However, at this time, Grandma Agu had no time to complain, because her attention was subconsciously directed in the direction where the sound came from.
The village chief's wife was seen stumbling over, her eyes fixed on the groom who was supported by Zhou Lian and Su Yan. The village chief was following behind, calling his wife's name while trying to catch up with her. However, the wife, who used to respond when the village chief called her name, was now clearly attracted by the familiar figure: "Son...son..."
Zhou Lian already knew that the village chief's wife was crazy. When they were discussing the details of the wedding, she would occasionally scold them, saying that her son was not married. According to the village chief, in order not to irritate his wife, he would not let her attend. But he never thought that she could be so crazy.
After seeing her son, the old wife of the village chief rushed over quickly and hugged the corpse which was much taller than her. Then she snatched the corpse from Zhou Lian and Su Yan's hands. The force was so strong that Su Yan almost stumbled and fell to the ground. She managed to maintain her balance.
The cold body and the foul smell were like needles piercing her heart, finally waking her up from her crazy fantasy.
It was clearly a corpse that others would avoid, but she hugged it tightly, raising her hands to try to touch her son's body while screaming miserably one after another. Her shrill and hoarse voice made everyone's forehead ache: "It must be that bitch Sun Peipei..."
"Why did you choose her..."
Hearing what the village chief's wife said, Su Yan subconsciously looked at the sedan chair beside her.
The village chief's wife also looked over. When she saw the red figure on the sedan chair, she obviously realized something. She wanted to rush forward holding her son's body, obviously wanting to vent her anger on Sun Peipei: "Don't even think about marrying my son..."
The people present then realized that the other party might not be fully awake yet, at least he didn't even realize that there was a ghost sitting in the sedan.
Granny Agu asked the villagers nearby to block them, frowning as she asked the village chief who came over, "What's going on?"
The village chief finally caught up with them and raised his hand to pull her body and the groom's body apart. His expression was also confused and caught off guard: "I don't know, he suddenly went crazy and ran out..."
The scene was already in chaos, and it took several people a lot of effort to barely separate the man and the body.
The moment she noticed the body slipping out of her arms, the village chief's wife began to scream again. The sweat on the village chief's forehead was not known to be from cold sweat or fatigue, or both. The moment he snatched the body back, he didn't even have time to look at his son. He stuffed the body back into Zhou Lian and Su Yan's hands and said in panic, "Go!"
For the first time, Su Yan realized so clearly why everyone used the word "lively" to describe weddings, whether they were for the living or the dead.
Although this excitement does not belong to the bride.
From beginning to end, the bride sat in the sedan chair. The quiet atmosphere formed a sharp contrast with the hustle and bustle outside.
Zhou Lian and Su Yan had to hold the groom's body and followed the sedan chair. So after hearing the village chief's words, the sedan bearers beside them quickly lowered the curtain, picked up the sedan chair and walked forward without any time to get scared.
The villagers nearby also started playing the suona at the right time. Maybe it was because they were so nervous that they could no longer tell whether the music was happy or sad. Mixed with the crying of the village chief's wife, Su Yan felt a sense of absurdity in her life.
Because of the sudden appearance of the village chief's wife, Grandma Agu no longer had the mind to check. As she caught up with the sedan chair, she said to the village chief, "Keep an eye on her," and signaled Zhou Lian and Su Yan to follow quickly.
Song Yanchi and Brother Chen originally wanted to go with them, but they were asked to bring out the paper figures as they would be burned together with the burial.
Between carrying the corpse for Zhou Lian or Su Yan and holding the paper man, Brother Chen chose the latter without much hesitation.
Song Yanchi took another look at the sedan chair, and finally turned around and followed Brother Chen.
After all, it looked like Qiao Yuan didn't need him to worry.
As the group walked forward, the crying of the village chief's wife was left behind them and drowned out by the sound of suona beside them.
Although the groom was not as tall as Song Yanchi, he was still taller than Su Yan. In addition, he was not sure if his neck was broken in the car accident. He was fine when he was lying in the coffin, but when he was lifted up, he found that his neck seemed to have lost bones, and his head was tilted at an abnormal angle. Although he was supported by Zhou Lian and Su Yan, his feet were off the ground, but his head would shake from side to side from time to time.
Su Yan had difficulty walking because of her injured foot. Sometimes when she looked up, she would see a pale face facing her, which was very painful for her mentally and physically. Zhou Lian could tolerate corpses better than ghosts, and his attention was focused on the sedan chair and the village chief's wife, so he was better than Su Yan.
The whole village was shaped like a circle, and all they needed to do was go around the outside of the village.
Su Yan had thought the village was not small before, and now she realized it more clearly as she walked. The first half of the circle went smoothly until the second half, when a little setback suddenly occurred.
