Chapter 72
Zhao Yuan asked in surprise, "Professor Qi, why are you here?"
Gu Yueyue was naturally astonished.
The woman who came to open the door did not respond to their address, but showed a confused expression.
"You guys, what are you doing?" The woman spoke the local dialect very smoothly.
Gu Yueyue and Zhao Yuan probably understood.
Professor Qi actually took over the show.
Zhao Yuan smiled and said: "Hello, we are here for fun. I heard that you hold a wedding banquet here. We want to come to see the local special wedding."
"Oh, the wedding banquet doesn't start until after eight o'clock in the evening. You guys came too early. Come over to have a banquet at night."
After the woman finished speaking, she closed the door again, the speed was astounding.
The three people who were locked at the door became more confused.
Zhao Yuan took a few steps back and looked at the courtyard wall outside the house, as if he wanted to see the situation inside through this wall.
Gu Yueyue: "It's very strange. It's said to be a wedding banquet, but it doesn't look festive at all. On the contrary, it looks like..."
Zhao Yuan took the words, "It's like going to a funeral."
"How about we sneak in and take a look?" Xu Yi whispered next to Gu Yueyue.
Gu Yueyue's face darkened, and she held her hand a little harder, "Don't mess around."
They would sneak into other people's homes if they disagreed with each other. Besides, it's not that the host's house doesn't welcome their arrival, but they are not allowed to enter now.
Xu Yi fell silent.
She broke free from Gu Yueyue's grasp, took a few steps back like Zhao Yuan, and looked at the situation outside the courtyard.
This is her habit all along. When she encounters something she doesn't understand, she always has to figure it out before she can feel at ease.
Just like this weird banquet.
Zhao Yuan was also very interested, and Xu Yi came to inquire about it, and he asked with a smile, "Did you find anything unusual?"
"Hmm. It's too quiet. Even if the banquet starts after eight o'clock in the evening, the host's family should be busy by this time." Xu Yi frowned slightly, guessing, "Maybe it's really a funeral banquet."
Zhao Yuan: "If it's a funeral banquet, why call it a wedding banquet?"
Xu Yi was thinking.
Zhao Yuan added: "Before I came, I checked the local information, and I also read the local folk customs. Unlike other places, here has extremely strict requirements for hosting banquets. There is no confusion between day and night."
If something really happened here, Xu Yi's spiritual consciousness could sense it.
But today's scene was arranged by the program team. It can be said that this is a game. Xu Yi can't feel the ghostly aura here, and he can't even use his spiritual sense to cheat, otherwise the game will be completely meaningless.
She stood beside Zhao Yuan, resting her chin with one hand inexplicably, her thoughts gradually sank.
"Could this family be foreigners? Don't know the local customs?" Zhao Yuan came over and said his own thoughts. A series of strange things happened."
"And then we were implicated?"
"This may be what the program group wants to do."
"Xiao Xu, what do you think?"
Perhaps Zhao Yuan himself was a little familiar, so he called Xiao Xu after a while, or maybe he heard Gu Yueyue call him that, and he subconsciously called him that too.
Xu Yi didn't care about the address, and focused on this strange house.
Gu Yueyue held her free hand and looked at the two people who got along very harmoniously a few steps away. They were really handsome and beautiful, very seductive.
Gu Yueyue couldn't tell what was going on in her heart, even if she didn't pay attention, she listened to their conversation completely.
Xu Yi thinks about what Zhao Yuan said, there is such a possibility, but it is not great, because...
Gu Yueyue: "I don't think so. Because this family's surname is Yue, and this area is full of people with the surname Yue."
Gu Yueyue said it before Xu Yi could speak.
She added: "The reason why Xiao Xu and I came here is because we got clues from an old man in the village. The old man said that this family has a son who is passed down for five generations. We got married today and had a banquet tonight. It was very lively."
Zhao Yuan laughed helplessly after hearing this, "It's lively? The old man is right?"
Xu Yi also nodded, "I really don't see the word lively."
"Since you can't see anything here, why don't you go to other places to look for it, you can't stay at the door of someone's house all the time?" Gu Yueyue came to Xu Yi's side, and took her hand inadvertently.
Xu Yi's attention was shifted to the wedding banquet, but she didn't notice that her hands were being held.
Xu Yi said to Zhao Yuan: "Mr. Zhao, let's go elsewhere to find clues. We will gather here at 03:30, and we can share the clues we found with each other."
"Okay." Zhao Yuan looked at them and agreed.
Zhao Yuan took a step first, Xu Yi led Gu Yueyue, and walked in another direction with great interest.
Along the way, Gu Yueyue's mood was a little dull.
"Are you interested?" Gu Yueyue asked Xu Yi, since the kid met Zhao Yuan at the gate of the small courtyard, he seemed to be very interested in this matter.
In fact, meeting Zhao Yuan had nothing to do with Xu Yi's interest in this matter.
But Gu Yueyue still involved the two things together, subconsciously concluded that Xu Yi was very interested in this matter because of Zhao Yuan.
Naturally, Xu Yi didn't know what Gu Yueyue was thinking, but she just vaguely felt that Gu Yueyue's mood was not very good.
"Ah? A little bit. It looks very interesting." Xu Yi paid attention to her expression while talking.
However, in front of her is a queen with superb acting skills. When Gu Yueyue deliberately hides her true thoughts, how can Xu Yi analyze her emotions through her facial expressions.
"Ah."
Gu Yueyue responded, and then smiled softly: "Are you happy?"
"happy."
"Just be happy. Let's hurry up and go to the village chief to have a look."
"Okay." Xu Yi readily agreed, and most of her thoughts were still on solving the mystery of the Yue family's wedding banquet. Seeing that Gu Yueyue was also very interested, she became even more interested in it.
And he made up his mind to defeat Zhao Yuan in front of Miss Gu.
Don't think she doesn't know, the last time Miss Gu came back late, it was Zhao Yuan who sent her back.
The two have different thoughts.
Zhao Yuan is also trying his best to find the clues early, and then solve the puzzle before everyone else.
This is a variety show, and eye-catching is necessary, and he also has a strong desire to show off in front of his beloved, prompting him to want to win the first place.
At the village head's house, the two met the village head's wife.
It was a very young woman, holding a small child in her arms, who could not be seen as a mother at all.
When she saw the two coming, a smile appeared on her face.
Facing the questioning of Gu Yueyue and Xu Yi, she could say that she knew everything.
"Please sit down, come, and have a cup of tea. It is planted in the fields of the village. I learned how to fry tea from the villagers. You can try it."
"I'm not a local." The village chief's wife laughed. "A Ming is a native villager who grew up eating a lot of food. After graduation, he wants to come back to do construction. He is grateful to his neighbors."
"We were together when we were in college, and we got married after graduation. This is our daughter Xiaoxiao, who is four years old this year."
"The banquet in the village? I don't know. Wait a minute. A Ming has a notebook with local folk customs written on it. I've seen it before. I'll go and find it for you."
"Hey, this is the book, take a look."
Gu Yueyue took it, and the old notebook was covered with scrawled and neat handwriting.
It records a lot of local folk customs, as well as some snacks, entertainment, and shops.
The woman picked up the child and sat down in front of Gu Yueyue and Xu Yi.
"A Ming said that now that everyone's material life has improved, and every household is quite prosperous, the dross culture that the older generation still insists on must be eliminated, and the spiritual life of the villagers must also be improved."
"Because of this matter, he had conflicts with several families in the village. He went to the city this time because of these matters."
"Actually, I advised him not to bother. These old feudal dross will disappear in the long river of history sooner or later. He has done a good job leading the villagers to become rich."
The woman sighed, "It is a good thing for the villagers to lead everyone to make money. But it is a bad thing for the villagers to change their thinking and persuade them to abandon their old ideas. Ah Ming's life here is getting better and better. The more difficult it is, the work is restricted everywhere, and others have lost a lot of weight."
Gu Yueyue chatted with the woman one after another, her hands kept moving, and she gradually turned to the last page.
"Ghost marriage?" Gu Yueyue looked at the slightly scribbled line written in red pen, her brows jumped, "Is there anyone else holding ghost marriages here?"
The woman's complexion changed, and the shallow smile disappeared immediately, with anger.
"Yes. This happened last year. I thought this kind of thing would only happen in the last century. I didn't expect it."
"When Ah Ming went to stop him, he was surrounded by a group of people and beat him. If I hadn't called the police in time, hey!"
Gu Yueyue glanced at the few lines, "What happened last year?" But the date was written on the last page, and the year, month, and day corresponded to today.
The son of the Yue family got married in the dark, I can't let things go on like this, I have to stop it.
The woman nodded, "It was last year. The son of the Yue family got married in the dark, and we, Ming, went to stop it."
Xu Yi naturally followed Gu Yueyue to read the notebook, so after hearing their conversation, she couldn't help guessing.
"Sister-in-law, can you tell us about getting married last year?" Xu Yi asked her, and then asked, "Isn't it like the show on TV where the living and the dead are forced to marry?"
The woman's complexion changed, and she sighed, "Last year. But it's not forced, the woman took the money, and I voluntarily."
"According to the village, the marriage is a yin relationship, which has little impact on the living. The marriage will not be considered complete until the woman dies."
"That's why there are also people who become brides in yin marriages for money. It's nothing more than paying homage to the rooster so that they can get money."
Gu Yueyue shuddered when she heard it, she couldn't imagine such a thing, how terrible it would be to marry a dead person.
Xu Yi understood that in the era she lived in, it was common for people to cultivate ghosts and form bonds.
However, the kind of bond where you love and I wish to communicate with each other is definitely different from the ghost marriage and yin relatives they are facing now.
"Then what happened afterwards?" Xu Yi asked her, and her intuition told her that there was a follow-up to this matter, and the follow-up was not easy.
The woman sighed, and said dumbfoundedly, "Last year, that woman was a 'ghost bride' from all over the world. She was similar to a mourner, and she was in this business."
"Originally, this kind of thing was a ritual, a psychological comfort for the living. As a result, the Yue family said that the son came back from the dream underground, said that the woman was not good, and gave him a cuckold everywhere. He wanted to divorce the woman and start anew. marry a daughter-in-law."
Gu Yueyue's eyes widened slightly, is this still a divorce?
"What happened next?" Xu Yi became more and more curious.
The people in the studio also got better.
There were even some creepy barrages.
——Holy shit, I seem to have heard this kind of thing from the elders in the family, the content is roughly the same, and then that family secretly abducted a young girl back to hold a ghost marriage.Scared a little girl silly, the young girl went crazy.
——The upstairs said so, I seem to have a little impression.Later, the woman's elder brother came to the door, and was beaten up by several relatives of the man, and he became paralyzed. There was only one grandmother in her seventies at home, and she had to take care of a paralyzed grandson and a crazy granddaughter. What a tragedy
——I also know this. Later, the police came, and those who beat people were arrested and sentenced.
——I knew that Yin Yu's program would never be simple, but I just didn't know what the story was this time.Before I read the complete story, my blood pressure has already risen. Feudal superstition kills people.
