My father was very calm and asked calmly,"Women like to shout. What's there to shout about? Tell me clearly, what exactly happened?”
"Father, didn't you find out when you adopted me to the water ghost? He was a young man who was only 25 years old when he died. Now he wants me to marry him.”I cried.
His father scratched his head and pondered for a while before asking,""Is what you said true?"
"What she said is true."
Qin Shuixiu suddenly spoke through my mouth, but it was his voice that came out.
His parents turned pale with fright. Their eyes were filled with surprise and fear. It was the first time I saw my parents look at their own daughter like she was a monster.
"There is no need to panic. I came here to propose marriage.”Qin Shuixiu swept his gaze across the room and continued," Back then, you guys had single-handedly given Qin Diou to me as your adoptive son, but I didn't accept it. I didn't treat her as my goddaughter, but as a bride. She is the only one for me, and I will marry her tonight. I'm here to inform you. Get ready.”
I had never wanted to slap myself like this before. I actually said such words.
After my mother heard it, she was basically dumbfounded.
My father was still able to calm down and slowly replied to Qin Shui,"It happened too suddenly. We have to take care of it. According to the rules, men and women were not allowed to meet before the wedding. Go back first. Come back to fetch the bride when it's dark.”
"Alright, after dark, I will bring the bridal escort team over from the water bay.”
After Qin Shuixiu finished speaking, my body relaxed and I felt that he had already left.
"He left." I said.
My father's legs went soft and he almost fell to the ground.
"He, he still, still has a bridal escort team?”Father said in disbelief.
I nodded.
"That's bad. He can fool us if he comes alone. If he brings a bunch of little ghosts with him, how are we going to deal with him? If things get out of hand, the neighbors will laugh at us.”
I frowned and didn't dare to say anything. I didn't think so much at that time. I just wanted to drag it out for a while. If father finds out that it was my idea to invite the bridal procession, he will beat me up.
His mother had also come to her senses and sighed,"My child, why is your life so bitter? Back then, God Dao Zi said that he wanted to adopt you to the water ghost and ensure that you would be safe and sound. I didn't expect this to happen.”
Shen Daozi was almost fifty years old and was a half-baked Taoist priest. He heard that he had some ability. However, in the eyes of us youngsters, he's just a fraud.
His father's eyes lit up. He slapped his thigh and said,"I'll call God Dao and invite him over to ask him how to solve this matter.”
This call was not made at the right time. The god-like man was bragging and chatting with a few widows in the village. Those widows had nothing to do all day long, and they didn't look for a husband even though they were wearing chastity archways. They would either tease monks and Taoists who didn't have wives or talk about how long the Zhang family was and how short the Li family was.
My dad told God about me on the phone, and those widows immediately started to spread it like crazy. Before God Dao Zi could cross the threshold of our house, the people in the village who had nothing to do basically entered our courtyard.
The person who was standing and talking said,"Qin Diudiu was adopted by the water ghost as a daughter, and now he's going to marry the water ghost's godfather as a daughter-in-law.”
"Diu Diu's life is tough. I'm afraid she won't live past 21."”
When my mother heard these words, she wiped her tears in the inner room.
My heart ached as I looked at her and comforted her," It's fine even if I marry Qin Shuixiu. I've already been to his house. I won't die." Look, I'm living well now. He's only marrying me, not eating me.”
Father invited God Dao Zi into the inner room. Before they could discuss, God Dao Zi started to pinch his fingers. I was worried when I saw his strange appearance. The name his master gave him was really not in vain.
Goddaozi pinched his fingers and muttered something to himself. Then, he said to me,"Girl, this time you must marry.”
"How can that be? Is there no other way?"”
God Daozi asked me again,"Is that water ghost called Qin Shuixiu?"”
Oh? He didn't expect this god-like person to know the name of a water ghost.
"How did you know?" I asked.
Goddaozi shook his head and said leisurely,""I have my ways."
"Just now when we came in, we heard what you said to your mother."”
I glared at the god and pouted at him. My heart was full of complaints, but I didn't dare to say it. Even if he's a fraud, we can only try our best and count on him.
My mother said to the god with snot,"Old brother, please think of a way. You were the one who suggested that my daughter be adopted by a water ghost. Now that the water ghost wants us, what should we do?”
" Ten years ago, my cultivation was shallow," said God Dao Zi with a bitter smile." Besides, didn't the water ghost protect Diu Diu for so many years?" I've calculated carefully. He should be a ghost from the Ming Dynasty, a full 500 years ago. If it wasn't for this age gap, he wouldn't have to lose his girl.”
"What does his five hundred years have to do with us girls?”Father asked.
"You don't know this. Water ghosts usually recruit substitutes so that they can reincarnate as humans. A water ghost that had not harmed a single person in five hundred years, how much resentment would he have to bear? At that time, the reason why I let the girl adopt him was because he had never harmed anyone. But now, he was afraid that he could not suppress the resentment in his heart anymore. He needed to find a virgin who had been fated with him to mate with him to dissipate the resentment. Otherwise, once the five hundred years of resentment went berserk, the entire Qinshui Bay would probably be destroyed by him, and no one would be able to save him.”
After hearing God Dao Zi's words, my father and mother's expressions became even more solemn.
The noise outside made me very annoyed, especially the children's noise. The children were still singing,"Ghost bride, ghost bride, Qin Diudiu is going to marry a water ghost."
I remember when I was young, children my age didn't play with me. Because I have a ghost godfather, everyone is afraid of me. After what they've done, no one will dare to get close to me anymore.
Father, Mother, and Shen Daozi discussed for a while, and then the three of them communicated. They all came to persuade me to live a good life with the water ghost Qin Shuixiu. He said that he was a kind water ghost and had protected me for so many years. Even if it's for the entire Qin Shui Bay, I should repay Qin Shui Xiu's kindness.
We reached an agreement just like that. Regardless of whether I agreed or not, I told the neighbors who were watching the show that they would marry their daughter off tonight. The neighbors who were busybodies were also enthusiastic. They swarmed into the house and helped to clean up and decorate.#
