"Butler, it's almost done here, right?"

"What are you saying? The master told me to try to stay away from the village as far as possible..."

"It's true, it's different where it's burning..."

"Don't talk nonsense! You forgot last night... Go quickly!"

The leader seemed to be the butler who received Chen Zhu. He and his group carried lanterns and left the village all the way south.

Zhou Shi followed them to the entrance of the village and watched them climb up the mountain bag sneakily.

Chen Zhu was covered with two big red lanterns, while those people were carrying white lanterns...

And how could anyone hang white lanterns on big happy days? How unlucky!

It is said that red is the most eye-catching in people's eyes, and white is the most clear in ghosts' eyes, so there are sayings of red and white things. You cannot use white when you get married.

But that big word "囍"...

Zhou Shi watched the butler and his group go away, and then looked at the sky again.

It's afternoon now, at about three or four o'clock, and the villagers are still in the field and have not come back, so they choose this time to deal with the white lanterns in order to cover up their eyes and ears.

Mr. Zhang is just a rich man and doesn’t have many servants at home. The housekeeper brought seven or eight people out, and there are probably not many people left in the family.

Now is a good time to sneak into the Zhang family!

After taking certain attention, Zhou Shi ran all the way back to the Zhang family compound.

He picked up some stones from the ground, threw them towards the gate, and ran to the side to hide.

The stone knocked on the door, and no one came out to scold "Whose little ghost is so cheap."

He tried again, but no one responded.

Good opportunity! He gently pushed open the hidden door and slipped into the yard.

The yard is not as big as the wealthy family I saw in costume dramas in my previous life, and it is probably only two.

"If someone discovers, how can I explain it?

"Well, the servants have gone out with the housekeeper, and at most they are discovered by women or officials. At that time, I will hold my head and rush out. Who can stop me?

"Chen Zhu said he lived in a side room last night..."

Zhou Shi walked to the side room with a slight hand and put his ears up, but heard no movement.

He gritted his teeth, pushed the door open, and flashed into it.

The door closed behind him and he found that the room was too dark. Even if the lights were not lit, it didn't look like it was afternoon at all.

He soon discovered the reason, and the doors and windows of the house were covered with yarn, with only a little light.

"Even if someone died just now, there is no need to be like this. This family must have a ghost!"

After his glasses got used to the darkness, Zhou Shi saw something on the bed in the room.

It's a corpse!

He leaned over and carefully identified the face of the body, and confirmed that it was Chen Zhu.

"I've been dead for almost a day. I've stopped the body at home without asking anyone to deal with it. The family is so heartless..."

Zhou Shi muttered, lit up the candlestick beside him and began to check Chen Zhu's body.

"The clothes are neatly decorated, there is no obvious trauma on the outside, and the posture is normal, as if he is just asleep, without any signs of fighting..."

All signs show that Chen Zhu did die naturally.

When the candlelight swept across Chen Zhu's face, Zhou Shi's movements suddenly stopped.

The corpse was confined to both eyes, but there seemed to be something wrong with the eyelids...

He stretched out two fingers and opened the eyelids of the corpse.

Empty.

There is a hole under the eyelids, and the eyes are missing!

What's going on!

Zhou Shi was so scared that he took two steps back, and the candlestick in his hand suddenly went out.

A gust of cold wind blew behind him.

The doors and windows are closed, where does the wind come from?

He slowly turned his head-

The bride in a wedding dress stood behind him.

Who? How did you come in - not right!

His eyes moved down and saw that there were no feet under the long skirt.

Not a living person!

The bride's sleeves slowly raised, revealing two palms that turned into bones, stretching towards him.

Zhou Shi's mind was blank and he could not think at all. He could only do the actions that he had previewed countless times in his mind like conditioned reflexes.

His hand shot at the iron abacus behind him, turning a bead.

With Mr. Hu in his hand, he poured the Yin wine from Fang Zun directly from his head.

Yin wine slashed across the skin like a cold blade, dripped onto the ground, and blue smoke composed of countless hideous ghost faces emerged.

The ghost bride's bone palms stopped in the air and groped in a daze for a while.

Zhou Shi was so angry that he didn't dare to let out, and endured the discomfort caused by the soaked wine in his clothes. He even worried that his heartbeat would alarm the ghost bride.

"Bang, beak..."

The ghost bride seemed to have lost her target, turned around, slid towards the darkness, slowly faded and disappeared.

After confirming that the ghost bride really left, Zhou Shi realized that she was dizzy because she held her breath for a long time.

“Hu—Hu—Hu—Hu—”

Fortunately, I've prepared before...

Before Zhou Shi came, he had considered how to deal with ghosts. Mr. Mo said that excessive resentment will turn ghosts into ghosts and move when he hears the yang energy. He has no power to tie a chicken to death. He can only die if he encounters a dead end.

The Iron Abacus is the foundation of his survival in this strange world, and the Hu Gongzun is his only "weapon" and he must carry it with him.

After using the mouse in the inn to confirm that the Yin wine in Hu Gongzun was not poisoned, Zhou Shi’s first use was to use the Yin energy of the extremely heavy Yin wine to cover up the Yang energy and prevent it from being discovered by evil ghosts.

"At that time, I was thinking about it on the top of my head and my shoulders were enough, but I was afraid that half of the cup would spill out - Leng Leng Leng Leng Leng Leng Leng Leng Leng Leng Leng Leng Leng Leng Leng Leng Leng Leng Leng Leng Leng Leng Leng Leng Leng Leng Leng Leng Leng Leng Leng Leng Leng Leng Leng Leng Leng Leng Leng Leng Leng Leng Leng Leng L

Zhou Shi rubbed his arms, but could not resist the biting coldness. Yin wine quickly turned into blue smoke, and the room was full of hideous human faces for a moment. If ordinary people saw it, they would be scared to death.

"What the hell is that-"

He actually had the answer in his mind.

The ghost wearing a wedding dress appeared in the room of Chen Zhu who died bizarrely. Last night, the young master of the Zhang family held a wedding ceremony and used a white lantern.

At this time, the dark wine in Hu Gong Zun's wife filled up again, and ripples appeared!

"The yin wine on my body has not dissipated yet, and the yang energy that the Hu Gongzun felt was - someone is coming!"

Zhou Shi hurriedly lowered his body, looked left and right, and finally crawled into the mortal bed and hid it.

"Good guy, I used to watch horror movies that were people on the bed and ghosts under the bed, but now it's backward..."

The door opened with a creaking sound, shining a beam of sunlight into the house, and then closed it quickly.

Zhou Shi touched the wall and stuck it to the door, eavesdropping on the movement outside the door.

"I've seen it, that kid has no problem, he died thoroughly."

"That's good. I was shocked just now when I saw the door lock opened..."

Have a door lock?

Zhou Shi was even more shocked and quickly sprinkled some yin wine on his forehead.

The door was not locked when I came in just now!

"This ghost is so powerful, even unlocks the lock... It turns out that this is the trap of the ghost bride!"

If it weren't for Mr. Hu, he would have reported to Yinhun Inn.

The conversation outside the door continued, with two voices of a man and a woman, and the male voice was obviously the housekeeper.

"Madam, go and rest first, we will give it to you."

"No, I want to send my birthday boy away in person... Why is the poor child gone..."

Zhou Shi frowned, is the young master of the Zhang family dead?

This also confirms his speculation that we had a ghost marriage last night!

"What should I do if that kid?"
