Zang Ling Village
This was a remote area that was far away from the city.
After many years of development, the village's economic situation had grown quite well.
However, most of the people in the village were of the older generation, and there were fewer young people.
And tonight, tonight
Destined to be extraordinary
The sky had just darkened
The sound of a suona came from the ancestral hall in the village.
The sound of the suona, drum, and gong fused together, resounding through the entire sky.
under the night sky
The ancestral hall of Zang Ling Village was hung with red cloth everywhere. The red cloth was tied into flower knots, which were needed for funerals. This covered the entire ancestral hall with a strange layer. Even the most festive red flowers appeared dilapidated here.
Many people had already arrived in the ancestral hall. However, none of them had any smile on their faces. Some of them had a straight face. In front of the ancestral hall, there were a boy and a girl who were tied up with paper figurines. The boy was fat while the girl had two ponytails. The two boys looked pale with two round blushes on their cheeks. They had red lips and white teeth. One of them stretched out his left hand and the other stretched out his right hand. It was a gesture of asking for a red packet. They were wearing burial clothes. He looked ahead with a smile on his face. It looked like he was smiling, but it was very strange.
"Village Chief, everything is almost ready, and the time is almost up. Why hasn't the Heavenly Coffin arrived yet?”Looking at the ancestral hall that was about to be prepared, the assistant beside the village chief asked.
Tonight was the day to present the paper bride to Bodhisattva Liuzang. Therefore, the people of Zang Ling Village had been preparing early in the morning.
Plus, it's the middle of July today
It was the birthday of the Six Treasures Bodhisattva.
The paper bride today could bless them with good weather in the village next year.
" Not here yet?!" The village chief gritted his teeth with a complicated expression and frowned tightly. He originally thought that Chen Sanye would arrive very early today, but he did not expect that this kid would actually accept the money and not do anything! It was almost time for them to prepare, but they still hadn't seen Chen Sanye.
"Village chief, it's almost time! We can't wait any longer!"
"If we miss the time and Bodhisattva Liukang blames us, we won't be able to bear the responsibility!”
"That's right. We can't let anyone else die in the village!”
More and more people came forward and tried to persuade him.
Hearing these words
The Village Chief bit his lips and anxiously looked up at the situation in front of him. He had originally wanted to find Chen Sanye to deal with this matter. Even if it failed, it had nothing to do with him. However, who would have thought that Chen Sanye would do something so unexpected? Although they were not confident now, if they missed the time, they were afraid that they would attract more trouble.
At the thought of this, Village Chief made up his mind and immediately said,"Forget it! He couldn't wait any longer. He ordered everyone to get ready to start! He had brought the paper bride up! Prepare to begin the ritual!"
"Yes, sir!"
After the young men in front of him heard this, they rolled up their sleeves and walked towards the back of the ancestral hall.
distance
Secretly staring at the situation in the ancestral hall
An old woman was wiping her tears with her head lowered. She kept looking around, wanting to see the situation inside clearly at this moment.
However, she had only stood there for a while when she was pulled to the side.
"What are you doing here? There's a ceremony here tonight. What are you doing here? Come, come home with me!”The middle-aged man in front of him grabbed his arm and was about to drag the woman in front of him home.
"Let go of me! Let go of me. I'm here to see my daughter. What's wrong with that?”The old woman broke free from the man's hand with tears in her eyes and swayed crazily.
"You! How could he be so heartless! That's your daughter!" She broke free from the man's hand and pointed at her husband as she cried out.
"Daughter? It's her fortune to be chosen by Bodhisattva Liuzang. As long as she becomes the paper bride of Bodhisattva Liuzang, our family will be better and better in the future! It's not the first one anyway. Why are you sad? Come home with me!" The middle-aged man didn't seem to be upset by her words. Instead, he widened his eyes and said angrily. After saying that, he went forward and grabbed the woman.
"You're really ruthless! You sold our eldest daughter to them just for 10,000 yuan! You sacrificed it to Bodhisattva Liukang, and now you sold your younger daughter to them for 30,000 yuan! That's your daughter! The daughter I gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy!! Why are you so vicious? That's my flesh and blood…" The old woman beat the middle-aged man in front of her and sat on the ground crying. She beat her chest and wailed. Her eyes were already red and swollen from crying.
However, it did not affect the man in front of him at all. He frowned and grabbed the old woman on the ground, dragging her home.
At this moment!
A suona sound rang out
In the ancestral hall.
The gongs and drums, as well as the suona were equally famous. They were playing unusually joyous wedding music.
However, what came out of the ancestral hall was the cry of a girl.
In the ancestral hall
A few young and strong men grabbed the girl's arms and walked out. The girl was wearing a red wedding dress with a phoenix hairpin on her head. Her hair was neatly combed, and she had heavy makeup on her face. The red wedding robe on her body made her look very beautiful. However, at this moment, there was no trace of joy on her face. She struggled and shouted, but she could not escape the restraint of the few men beside her because they firmly grabbed her arm. She was being carried forward. No matter what she said, did, cried, or wailed, it was useless because her feet were firmly bound.
"Let go of me! Let go of me! Dad! Mother! Save me! Please save me!"
The girl struggled with all her might, crying and crying.
She subconsciously called out to her parents, wanting them to come and save her.
However, when she was brought into the hall, she realized that her parents were not among the people standing around her. Instead, most of them were the respected elders of the village. They stood around expressionlessly and looked at everything in front of them coldly. They were like paper figurines, emotionless!
The young girl panicked and felt a chill run down her spine!
"Oh? Has it started?"
On the mountain of the village
Chen Sanye appeared under the moonlight
He glanced at the lights that had already lit up below and heard the familiar sound of the suona. He couldn't help but shake his head and smile."These people are really impatient!”
The voice finished speaking
Behind him, a red-robed figure flashed. Under the sleeves of the tall red-robed figure, a sharp claw had long risen!
...........
"Meng Ning! To be able to be called the paper bride of the Six Treasures Bodhisattva is your blessing! In the future, I will also ask the Bodhisattva of Six Treasures to protect our Zang Ling Village!”The Village Chief looked coldly at the panic-stricken Tao Mengning who was being pressed forward. His tone was like the ice in winter, piercing deep into her heart.
"No, don't! Village Chief! I don't want to marry Bodhisattva Liukang. I don't want to go home! I want to go home! Please, please let me go home." The tears in Tao Mengning's eyes began to fall rapidly. She bit her red lips and shook her head crazily at the village chief, begging the village chief to spare her life. She begged the elders who had watched her grow up to save her.
However, even though she was crying pitifully, these usually gentle elders were unusually cold at this moment. All of them had poker faces as if they were looking at a dead person. There was not even a trace of sympathy. This strange feeling made Tao Mengning feel despair!
His parents were not around, and the elders in the village all wanted to kill him. This feeling was really too unbearable.
"The time has come! Invite the paper bride to the palace and get married!”
As soon as he finished speaking!
Following a loud shout from the high platform,
The sound of the suona rang out again!
Blowing makes people feel cold all over
The dark clouds dispersed, and the cold moonlight shone on everyone's faces. Their expressions were as cold and terrifying as the dead!
When the cold wind blows
At the edge of the village, a child's voice drifted over,"
"In the middle of July, when the bride gets married, relatives and friends cry their hearts out. I'll wear a wedding dress made of paper and never see my parents again…"
