My name is Qin Diudiu, Qin as in Qin Shihuang, the embarrassing…Bah! He was careless…Bah! In short, my parents gave me such a low-key, luxurious and meaningful name. Female, male, 20 years old, currently studying at a brick university.
If you think I'm just as ordinary as the introduction says, then you're wrong.
Do you have a godfather? Moreover, he was the ghost godfather.
I do.
I was born in a small mountain village called Qinshui Bay. Although the scenery here is beautiful and there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers, I'm still unknown. When I was young, I was weak and sickly. In order to support me, my parents adopted me to the water ghost in the water bay as their goddaughter. If it was someone else's parents, they would adopt their child to some god or immortal. My parents adopted me to a water ghost.
My parents are especially superstitious villagers. Every time I blame them for this, they will scold me fiercely. He said that if it weren't for your godfather, you wouldn't be able to live to this age and still be standing here bickering with us.
Once, I cried and asked them why my godfather was a ghost.
An's parents said again,"There are so many people who worship the gods and become their fathers and grandfathers. Where would the gods have the time to dote on them one by one? You're the only one who'll be adopted by the ghost. He'll only dote on you.”
Just like that, I was defeated by their godlike logic. Every time there was a holiday, I would go to the water bay to kowtow to my godfather, burn incense, and give him paper money. Because of this, I've always been embarrassed to bring my classmates home to play.
It was summer vacation again. I rushed the train, changed to a car, and then took a motorcycle back to Qin Shui Bay. She had just arrived home and was so tired that she wanted to lie down and cool down for a while. But my parents brought me some money that they had prepared earlier and asked me to go to the water bay to see godfather first and tell him that his daughter Qin Diu was lost at home.
I was very reluctant, but compared to when I was in primary school and middle school, it was much better now. In the past, after the exams, they even wanted me to burn the report card for godfather to see. Why didn't he think about it? Godfather was a water ghost. Could he understand foreign language and mathematics?
I carried the bamboo basket containing the fragrant wax money paper to the water bay. The sun was scorching at this time. I crouched down and felt a little dizzy. I probably had a heatstroke. Even though I realized it, my body failed and I fell into the water.
My body was weak, but my thoughts were clear. It's over now. I'm really going to meet my godfather I've never met before.
Just as I was feeling helpless and terrified, a faint feeling of dizziness appeared in the water.
In my daze, I saw a black thing swimming towards me. I grew up in Qinshui Bay and have never heard of such a big fish in the water. Besides, I never believed that there were water ghosts inside.
The black shadow quickly approached me. Before I could see clearly, I was tightly wrapped by that thing and fell. My breathing became more and more uncomfortable, and my consciousness gradually blurred.
After an unknown amount of time, I completely sank to the bottom of the water, and my consciousness slowly recovered. He did not expect that there would be a different world below the small water bay.
I was lying on a stone bed with clean bedsheets. The color was familiar. When I thought about it carefully, it was because my parents asked me to burn it for godfather to change his clothes before school started. I didn't know if I should be happy or sad. I was happy because I really had a godfather, but sad because there were water ghosts here.
I looked around the room nervously. The furnishings inside were very comfortable, and many of them were authentic goods sent by others. The room was decorated in a quaint manner, making one feel relaxed and happy. It seems that my godfather is not a violent evil spirit. You can tell from his taste. It was probably a kind-looking old man. I immediately thought of the appearance of the birthday boy and the earth grandfather.
"You're awake?"
A magnetic and pleasant male voice came from the outer room. He sounded very young.
I was stunned for a moment. Could there be two ghosts here? Are they godfather's sons?
I didn't reply immediately. I saw a young man walk in from the outer room. He was dressed in a white robe, with black hair and a silver crown. His skin was as white as fat, and he had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. She was like a figure that had walked out of an ancient painting, beautiful beyond words. I don't know if I'm brave or useless, but just because he's handsome, I'm not afraid of him at all.
"Qin Diudiu, are you ready to see me today?”he asked.
"What?" I looked at him blankly.
"Marry me and be my bride." he said.
"Wait a minute, I just accidentally dropped…that, no, I'm here to see my godfather. My godfather is a water ghost. You, who are you? Do you know my godfather?”I stuttered.
"I'm the water ghost you want to see." He said expressionlessly," I don't need a goddaughter, and I never promised your parents to take you as their daughter. I bless you so that you can become my bride. If it's a daughter, I can let you give birth to her.”
I quickly raised my right hand, my palm facing him, indicating for him to stop.
"Pfft…hahahaha, stop joking. How could my godfather look like you? You're not much older than me, right?”
"Your thoughts are not important. Since you're here, marry me.”
He walked towards me as he spoke.
I gulped, my heart thumping.
I'm a man of principle, and I won't yield to beauty. Besides, if it was a cover-up and he was a ghost, he could turn beautiful or ugly. What if he returned to his original ugly appearance after getting married?
Wait, beauty and ugliness were not the main point. The point is that he is definitely not human. We just met, and I don't even know his background. Besides, I don't even know what's going on with me. Am I dead? I haven't returned for a long time. Father and Mother should be worried.
"Hey, we don't even know each other yet. How can we marry a stranger?”I said.
"I know everything about you. Your grades from primary school to high school, every time your parents scold you, when you start puberty, when your period is, and even the moles on your body, I know everything.”
His tone was very calm. These words that would make me so embarrassed that I would want to crawl into the ground were actually said by him without any emotion as if he was reciting a book.
"But I don't know you at all. I don't even know your name.”
"My name is Qin Shuixiu, a water ghost from Qin Shuiwan. He died in the Ming Dynasty at the age of 25, and it had been 500 years since then.”He paused and continued," Now that you know me, you can get married.”
I'm confused. He's still sincere. What kind of acquaintance is this?
"No, not yet. Who gets married on their first meeting?”I mumbled," Even if it's a blind date, we still have to get used to it…"
"In our era, when a couple got married, it was mostly the first time they met.”He said. Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:0131201912:42PM
