after death strike

When the two entered the room, they met Zhou Ming who hadn't fallen asleep. Li Zhizhi explained to him that this cousin didn't mind too much that he brought an extra outsider to participate in this kind of delicate ceremony, and he was just being polite. He told Li Zhizhi that there was no extra room, so the two could only live together temporarily.

Li Zhizhi originally planned to do so.

After saying good night to Zhou Ming, he drove Ah Wang to take a bath, and then he sat in the room and read a novel to get sleepy.

When he was still alive, he often suffered from insomnia, and at the worst, he couldn't fall asleep for three days. Sometimes he was really irritable and bored in the middle of the night, and he would willfully call Ah Wang to ask him to talk with him.Now that he is a dead person, he can still sleep more peacefully, and he will fall asleep naturally when his body is tired, but he has never had a dream again.

When Ah Wang opened the door and came in, he saw his whole body curled up on the bed, huddled up like a boiled shrimp, with a few strands of hair scattered on the pillow, looking black and soft, it made people want to Put the urge to touch in the palm of your hand.

"Done?" Li Zhizhi didn't move when he heard the sound, but turned his head slightly to glance at him.

Ah Wang nodded, went to the bed and sat down, and folded the changed clothes for him.

Strange to say, this person's appearance can also be said to be outstanding and good-looking, logically speaking, he should be the type that makes people's eyes shine.However, his demeanor is very quiet, like the air, and it is easy to ignore him when he mixes with the crowd; he is also extremely taciturn, only answering every question in front of Li Zhizhi, and occasionally nagging so much that Li Zhizhi dislikes him.

Li Zhizhi read the last line of the page, bookmarked it, put the Kindle next to the pillow, and turned around to pull the back of Ah Wang's clothes.

"Talk?" He looked over with a pair of bright black eyes, making it impossible to refuse.

It wasn't until Ah Wang also lay down on the bed, and the two of them faced each other with half a pillow between them, that Li Zhizhi spoke slowly again.

"Did you know? The wedding we are going to attend tomorrow is a yin marriage." He scratched his chin, "It feels weird. I haven't heard of this custom in our family... but I didn't expect that I would And relatives."

He blinked, his eyelashes fluttered, and smiled.

"After all, I'm a loser. I always thought that all my family members died." His tone was light, as if he didn't take it seriously.

Ah Wang listened to him quietly, but when he heard this, he couldn't help reaching out and touching Li Zhizhi's head, as if to comfort him.

Li Zhizhi immediately patted his hand away unhappily: "What are you doing, you want to take advantage of me again?" He meant that this person sometimes always acts like an elder and treats him like a child.

"En." Unexpectedly, Ah Wang responded, and he didn't know what it meant.

Li Zhizhi smiled angrily. "You man!" He turned around angrily, not wanting to see that face that never wavered - seeing it made people angry.

But we still have to talk. "This cousin just came of age, and I can see that the family is very sad. I asked about the time, and he died just last week, a day earlier than me... If I didn't know there was such a person before, I thought he was too Killed by me."

As soon as Li Zhizhi finished speaking, he heard the person behind him categorically deny it. "Nonsense, how could he be killed by you?"

"Who knows?" Li Zhizhi didn't want to talk more about this topic with him, he opened his eyes and looked at the closed window, his tone became brisk again. "Tomorrow, you can make up some excuses for me. I can't eat now."

"it is good."

Maybe it's because I'm tired from walking too much mountain road today, maybe it's because I read a book before going to bed and I feel drowsy, maybe it's because the person I trust the most is lying next to me, Li Zhizhi began to feel his eyelids are clenched, and his consciousness is a little trance.

He yawned. "Good night, I'm going to bed. I wish you a nightmare."

"I wish you a nightmare too."

The next day Li Zhizhi was woken up by the glare of the sun.The summer dawns early, but Ah Wang gets up even earlier. When he opens his eyes, there is no one around him, and he only sees an empty bed.

There was already some noise in the yard, Li Zhizhi got up and went out of the room, and as expected, he saw someone who had naturally integrated into the family and was helping Zhou Jiajia wash the vegetables together.

If it was Li Zhizhi wearing a black shirt, there are some legitimate reasons, but the one who is still wearing a long-sleeved white shirt on a hot day is completely confusing.Li Zhizhi watched A Wang obviously dressed like an ascetic, with a cold and peaceful face, but doing very humane housework, and couldn't help laughing at the contrast.

"Cousin, are you up?" Zhou Jiajia, who was holding a vegetable basket, saw him and greeted him with a smile. "Your friend is so polite. Get up early in the morning to help. You sit down first, and you can have breakfast later."

Li Zhizhi opened his mouth to refuse, but he heard Ah Wang lie for him with a very serious face: "He caught a cold last night and his appetite is not good, you should eat first," then turned his face to Li Zhizhi. Zhizhi said: "Go in and rest, I will bring you porridge later."

... I have to admit that although this excuse was quite rubbish, Ah Wang's serious face was too deceptive, and Zhou Jiajia was taken aback for a while, and even went to give him cold medicine.

Li Zhizhi walked back into the room with a box of white and black helplessly, annoyed and funny.Don't think he didn't see the look in Ah Wang's eyes that made fun of him!

The breakfast turmoil passed like this, and from noon onwards, the real wedding ceremony began.

The white curtain hanging on the lintel has been removed and replaced with red silk, with a big red flower hanging in the middle.Window grilles and couplets were also pasted on the sandalwood gate.The stove in the kitchen has been burning firewood since early in the morning, and several cousins ​​have been bringing out dishes from it non-stop, including chicken, duck and fish, which is as lively as a real wedding.

As a relative who came from afar, Li Zhizhi only needs to watch the ceremony with Ah Wang. Naturally, he doesn't need to work, he just needs to wait in the mourning hall for the auspicious time.

Originally, there was a coffin parked in the mourning hall, which contained Zhou Jun's body.But the ceremonies that a yin relative should have must still be there.Li Zhizhi heard that some cousins ​​moved the coffin away early in the morning, arranged the mourning hall festively, removed Zhou Jun's photo and replaced it with the ancestor's spirit tablet, and placed it in the wine cup as a tribute, while the corpse was placed next to it first. in the room.

I don't know if some anti-corrosion methods were used in this village. In this hot weather, the corpses that have been dead for a week are not very rotten.It's just that there is a faint smell of corpses in the air, mixed with the burning incense and the aroma of food, creating an indescribable sense of disobedience.

At about 11 o'clock, suddenly a few strangers came from outside.Li Zhizhi was bored of waiting, so he went to join in the fun, but he didn't expect that the people who came were the makeup artist who had invited to put makeup on the corpse and the sorceress who would host the yin kiss later.Although he was interested and wanted to take a few more glances, he didn't follow the rules, so he sat back honestly beside Ah Wang.

Hearing the sorceress babbling and singing songs with strange tones in the hall, several cousins, wearing bright red dresses and carrying a bucket of hot water, went into the small room with the make-up artist to clean the corpse and put on the groom's clothes Only then did Li Zhizhi feel that he was really attending the wedding of the dead.

"Don't you think it's amazing?" He turned his head and asked Ah Wang who was sitting beside him, "The strange rumors that I used to only read on the news on the web actually appeared before my eyes."

"Well, it's amazing." The person who answered didn't even lift his eyelids, still looking like the old god was there.

"Liar." Li Zhizhi stretched out his hand to scratch his waist in dissatisfaction. Seeing his expression change, he looked into his eyes begging for mercy, and then withdrew his hand. "I heard that in the ceremony to come, the corpses will be carried on their backs, they will worship their parents, drink wedding wine, and send them to the bridal chamber. This day will be considered complete." Then the next day, it will be the funeral. Buried in the joint tomb, this is considered a ceremony.

The man who carried the corpse on the man's side was naturally Zhou Ming.Ever since he knew that Zhou Ming was going to carry his body, Li Zhizhi couldn't help but look at him secretly, but he was still caught every time, so he could only suppress his curiosity and pretend to be okay to watch the scenery.

Waiting until the welcoming team with gongs and drums also arrived, a group of men from the Zhou family set out to greet the relatives at the right time.

There are very few people with foreign surnames in the Zhou family village, and the family they are married to is also surnamed Zhou and lives by the river.The welcoming team walked bustlingly from the center of the village under the sun at noon. The loud gongs and drums mixed with occasional firecrackers sounded like a festive New Year.

Li Zhizhi and Ah Wang were mixed at the end of the crowd. Although they were in the hustle and bustle, they still felt a sense of estrangement that they could not integrate into.For some reason, seeing the sincere smiles on the faces of the welcoming team, and contacting the protagonist of the wedding, Li Zhizhi shivered uncontrollably.

Can the lively world and the silent corpse still be known?

"What's wrong?" Aang asked.

Li Zhizhi shook his head and said nothing.

Suddenly a gust of wind with water vapor blew across his face, Li Zhizhi squinted his eyes and saw the gurgling water not far away.The welcoming team, beating gongs and drums and blowing suona, passed through a village and finally arrived at the door of the in-laws.Several young and middle-aged men in the lead knocked on the door, and a middle-aged woman came out after a while and welcomed them in.

It should be the other party's mother.I don't know how the girl's life disappeared.According to Zhou Jiajia, the girl died on the same day as him. It sounds like he has a better relationship with her than Zhou Jun.

Thinking of what to do, Li Zhizhi waited at the end of the line, but after waiting for several minutes, no one came out from the door.Li Zhizhi was wondering, and looked at Ah Wang, when suddenly he heard the sound of arguing from far and near.

"Why didn't you say such a big thing in advance?! Now the face of the two families is lost!"

Li Zhizhi was very familiar with this angry voice, it was his cousin Zhou Ming.Li Zhizhi was taken aback. Although the meeting time was short, he could still see that Zhou Ming was an honest and honest person, and it was impossible for him to get angry for no reason.

What's going on here?

Just when Li Zhizhi wanted to go up to ask for clarification, he saw Zhou Ming walking out of that family's house with a few brothers. They all had angry expressions on their faces, and another middle-aged couple with a blunt face followed them, with embarrassing expressions on their faces. With pleading, he was anxiously opening his mouth to explain.

"We didn't know about it either! Everything was fine and everything was prepared, but who knew, when we got up this morning, the girl was gone!"

not see?

Li Zhizhi's heart skipped a beat. Before he could fully understand, Zhou Ming's angry voice sounded:

"If you don't want to get married, you can return the bride price. We don't have to get married, but if you make up this reason now, who will believe it? How can the good-looking corpse disappear?"

The author has something to say: when they shared the same bed for the first time, they were only ten years old.

Li Zhizhi: I am afraid of the cold, if you snatch my quilt, I will kick you out of bed.

Ah Wang: I'll warm your bed for you, and I won't snatch your quilt.

Li Zhizhi: Hmph... that's good, I'm sleepy, I wish you a nightmare.

Ah Wang: Why is it a nightmare?

Li Zhizhi: Are you an idiot?don't tell you.

Wang: Good.

Li Zhizhi: Humph!

Ah Wang (voice from heart): Whether it is a nightmare or a sweet dream, I will always be with you.

In fact, Lychee is still a bit arrogant (only in front of Ah Wang)
