Marry a wife?!

I opened my mouth and looked at Chen Xiucai's thin back, right? Chen Xiucai is over 100 years old, and he is still married? This old man is very energetic!

Along the way, Chen Xiucai walked very fast. Although he looked thin and bony, his body was very strong. I followed him step by step and stopped until the west end of the village. My forehead was covered with sweat and I was breathing a little, but Chen Xiucai's face remained unchanged.

"It's this!" Chen Xiucai pointed to a farmhouse yard in front.

This is a typical small courtyard in Xiangxi farmhouse. A small courtyard is surrounded by bamboo fences in front of the door. Three stilt houses stand in the center of the yard in the shape of a font. This kind of stilt house is made of local materials and built with bamboo on the mountain. It is old and the stilt house in front of it looks a bit dilapidated, and even the stilt house on the left has half of the roof.

Although Xiangxi was still quite poor in that era, most people in the village still lived in brick and tile houses, and the most common ones also lived in wooden tile houses. Such ancient stilt houses are rare in the village, and this family is particularly difficult at first glance.

I know this family, and the surname is Wang, I don’t know the specific name. Everyone in the village called him Wang Laobi, who is already fifty or sixty years old.

When Wang Laobi was young, he worked outside and was in his thirties. He saved money to get a wife. He was nearly forty years old and finally got a son, but he was not lucky. The son he gave birth to was a fool. This was undoubtedly a worse injury for the already poor Wang family. So when the villagers moved into brick and tile houses one after another, the Lao Wang family still lived in a stilt house built more than ten years ago, and their living conditions did not change at all.

I looked at Chen Xiucai in confusion: "Why did you marry at Wang Laobi's house?"

Chen Xiucai rolled his eyes and raised his hand to knock on my head: "Are you stupid? What kind of wife should I marry? I am helping you get married!"

What?!

When I heard this, I jumped up and looked at Chen Xiucai with surprise. What a joke, marry me? I don’t even have a partner yet!

Chen Xiucai patted my shoulder: "Master has found a wife for you, it's very good!"

I shook my head repeatedly: "Master, what era is this? I won't agree to an arranged marriage!"

Chen Xiucai smiled and pushed open the gate and walked in.

I followed in with a nervous mood. As soon as I stepped into the yard, my back foot suddenly whistled and hurriedly retreated to the gate of the yard.

A black painted coffin was placed in the center of the yard. It looked new and the black paint on it had not yet solidified.

The large black coffin lay alone in the yard, emitting a yin energy.

Chen Xiucai waved at me, pointed at the coffin and said to me, "Hey, what are you afraid of? Come and see your wife!"

As soon as I heard this, my scalp exploded and my wife was in the coffin? What does this mean? Should I marry a dead person?

"Master, what are you kidding?!" My face changed, and my voice trembled violently.

Chen Xiucai curled his smile and said seriously: "I buried you alive the night before yesterday, just temporarily save your life. Raise your left hand and look at the lifeline in the palm of your palm!"

I raised my left hand and my eyes immediately straightened. My lifeline was black before, but... but today, the lifeline in the palm of my left hand...is missing!

The cold chill spread throughout my body, and I stood there blankly, without a lifeline, does it mean that I am going to die?

Chen Xiucai's face was solemn: "Jiuyizi, if you want to survive, there is only one way, that is, to borrow a corpse to prosper your life!"

I suddenly realized: "Master, you asked me... to marry the female corpse in the coffin to borrow it to prolong my life?"

Chen Xiucai nodded: "That's right! You are also lucky. I have seen the birth date of the female corpse, which matches you! As long as you get married to her, you can borrow the corpse to prolong your life!"

"Then...who is the female corpse in the coffin?" I looked at the dark coffin and felt a little scared.

"The daughter-in-law of the Wang family!" said Chen Xiucai.

I was slightly surprised. Old Wang's daughter-in-law? I'm afraid this is a bit inappropriate for me to marry someone else's daughter-in-law?

Chen Xiucai probably saw my concerns and waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I've negotiated everything with Lao Wang!"

Hearing the knock on the door, Wang Laobi and his wife came out. After a while, the silly son of the Wang family also came out.

Wang Laobi's stupid son is also in his twenties or thirties. He looks ugly. He followed Wang Laobi timidly, holding his mother's sleeve, as if he was afraid of seeing strangers.

Wang Laobi and his wife respectfully welcomed Chen Xiucai into the inner room, invited us to sit down, and asked his wife to make us two cups of tea.

Looking around, the Wang family is indeed very poor, with almost no decent decorations in the house, let alone modern household appliances.

I looked at Wang Laobi. His face was wrinkled and his skin was dark. There was nothing special about it. At first glance, he looked like an honest country man with a hunched back and looked very old.

Wang Laobi tied in his pocket for a while, took out a wrinkled red envelope, handed it to Chen Xiucai with both hands respectfully, and said in a pleading tone: "Scholar, I'll ask you for this matter!"

Chen Xiucai did not refuse, took the red envelope and put it in his pocket, took a few sips of tea, and said, "Don't worry, this matter must be done properly!"

After greetings in the room for a while, Chen Xiucai took me to the yard.

Chen Xiucai walked around the black painted coffin, then reached into the military backpack, and took out a bundle of white candles, a stack of yellow paper, a small bag of chicken blood, and a white word "四" from the backpack.

Chen Xiucai opened his pocket, dipped his fingers in chicken blood, and drew a strange symbol on the lid of the coffin. The symbol was very large, almost occupying the entire surface of the coffin lid, and looked like a strange totem.

During the whole process, Chen Xiucai's expression was very serious.

Then, Chen Xiucai lit a circle of candles around the coffin, pasted the big white "囍" character on the coffin, and shouted to me: "Get in!"

I bit my lip, tremblingly reached out and pushed open half of the coffin lid, and tightened my face and didn't dare to look in.

Chen Xiucai said: "Jiuyizi, today is your happy day. Can you be happier?"

Going to your sister's happy day, how could I be so happy? I'm almost crying!

I forced out an ugly smile that seemed to be laughing but not crying. My whole body was shaking like a sieve, and I crawled into the coffin tremblingly.

This is the second time I have lie in the coffin, but this time it is more than ten times more terrifying than the first time, because there is a female corpse lying beside me, and I am really willing to die!

Although things like getting a ghost marriage are common in western Hunan, I never dreamed that one day I would get a ghost marriage!

"Lying down for a while, I'll call you back! Let's enter the bridal chamber!" Chen Xiucai raised his hand and threw a stack of yellow paper into the air. The yellow paper fell down, and the lid of the coffin slowly closed.

The coffin was dark and I couldn't see anything, and I couldn't see the female corpse. The female corpse was not smelly, it should have something like a scent bag, and it emitted a faint fragrance, which made me not feel so uncomfortable.

The space in the coffin is not spacious. I am next to the female corpse and dare not even move my fingers. I kept silently chanting "Amitabha!" in my heart. Now I just hope that time can pass quickly.

When the coffin lid opened again, it was already sunset and dusk outside.

Chen Xiucai hooked his finger at me and told me that he could come out.

"Is this enough?" I was a little skeptical.

Chen Xiucai signaled me to look at the palm of my hand. I raised my hand and looked at it. I was surprised to find that the originally disappeared lifeline was back, although it was very short and shallow.

"Don't worry, the lifeline will slowly grow back in a few days!" said Chen Xiucai.

I was overjoyed and wanted to kowtow to Chen Xiucai. Chen Xiucai stopped me and asked me to kowtow to the coffin: "You should thank your wife!"

I knelt in front of the coffin devoutly, bowed three times to the coffin, and said unnaturally: "Thank you, wife!"

"Okay, I'll go into the house to rest for a while, you'll stay here!" Chen Xiucai handed the remaining candles and yellow paper to me and told me: "Every half an hour, burn forty-nine pieces of yellow paper! When the candles are about to burn, light new ones immediately!"

"Master, what business do we do? Are we the ones who are doing? "I hesitated to take the yellow paper, feeling deceived in my heart. I didn't expect to make a living with Sammi Chen, but I had to deal with dead people. This job seemed a bit unlucky!

Chen Xiucai seemed to see through my thoughts at first glance: "What? Do you think this job is unlucky?"
