Chapter 35: A Secret Marriage (Part II)

In the evening, Master, and Li Mu and I left Feng'er Village, while Han Xiaomei followed Li Mu all the way. Li Mu had a headache on his face, turned his head to Han Xiaomei and said, "Xiaomei, you know what we're going to do, if you go with you, it's not good?" Why don't you go home, and we'll have a chance to chat together in the future, okay? After speaking, Li Mu turned his head and continued to walk forward.

Han Xiaomei pouted innocently and said, "Brother Xiaomu, my mother slapped me in the morning, you saw it, if I go home now, she will not let me go out to see you again......" Saying that, Han Xiaomei stubbornly stood in place for a while, and then followed again.

Li Mu said helplessly: "If Aunt Han doesn't let you go out, then you just stay at home and always follow me, what's the matter?" Saying that, Li Mu didn't seem to want to explain anything, turned around and left, and didn't mean to talk to Han Xiaomei again. Silently watching Li Mu's back go away, Han Xiaomei pouted, looking aggrieved, but the words in her heart didn't seem to be spoken.

At this moment, the master suddenly turned around, walked to Han Xiaomei's side, and whispered something in Han Xiaomei's ear, but seeing Han Xiaomei's eyes lit up, he hurriedly nodded with a smile: "Mr. Yang, I listen to you!" But seeing Han Xiaomei jumping back, I looked at the master in astonishment, and then at Han Xiaomei who returned to the village, and was just about to ask what the master said to Han Xiaomei, but I saw the master walking quickly in front and didn't pay attention to me.

"Uh......" I was still curious, so I quickly caught up with the master, and asked the master in a low voice, "Master, what did you say to Han Xiaomei?" Why does she listen to you so much? ”

Master glared at me and said, "Don't ask what you shouldn't!" After reprimanding me, the master looked up at Li Mu, who was walking on the other side, shook his head inexplicably, and finally sighed lightly.

The dirt slope in front of me was overturned, but I saw that there was a huge dry ditch in front of me, and there were houses scattered among them, and I looked left and right, and it seemed that there was only such a village around. It seems that this village should be the tiger squatting ditch that Li Mu said, right? Seeing this, the master explained to Li Mu in a deep voice: "Xiao Mu, tonight I have a secret marriage with the daughter of the Zhang family, everything must be done according to my words, don't mess up, the secret marriage is not a child's play, if there is a slight mistake, I am afraid that the dead will be uneasy, and the living will be even more uneasy!" You know? ”

When Li Mu heard this, his face trembled, but he hesitated for a moment, but still nodded: "Mr. Yang, I listen to you, as long as I can marry Qiaoqiao and make her officially my wife, what I do is worth it!" ”

"Master, it's true that a ghost marriage is not a child's play, but it's already night, and you haven't let people convey the materials needed for a ghost marriage to the Zhang family in advance, they must not have prepared anything at the moment, can they really do it for Xiao Mu and Zhang Qiaoqiao tonight?" I asked puzzled, in fact, I have always wanted to say my worries, but I believe that Master will not think of this, Master can say this, he should have thought of a countermeasure a long time ago.

The master nodded and said, "Yes, there are a lot of materials needed to hold a secret marriage, and it can't be done tonight." But tomorrow night, it is the best time, for the teacher said before, there is a reason for the teacher, you don't need to ask, you will naturally understand later! After we finished saying this, we had already come to the entrance of the village of Huquagou, and from a distance, Li Mu pointed to one of the largest mansions and told us that Zhang Qiaoqiao's house was that house.

The house was indeed taller and more spacious than the surrounding houses, and the houses were built with blue bricks and red tiles, which is a completely incomparable fact that ordinary people still use stone or adobe. The villagers of Huquaogou saw Li Mu at the entrance of the village, and they recognized Li Mu as the quasi-son-in-law of the Zhang family, but they must have been more aware of the bad news of the Zhang family. However, for Li Mu really came to do a secret marriage, maybe they didn't expect it at all, and they looked at Li Mu dumbfounded.

However, a few villagers greeted Li Mu in advance, as if they were cordial, but when we came to the gate of Zhang's house, we saw that the courtyard gate was open. And in the yard, there are a lot of rare things, the so-called rare things, is a large number of paper people and paper sedan chairs, as well as a few paper money full of bamboo baskets, neatly placed in the yard. Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly whispered to the master: "Master, it seems that it won't be possible to hold a secret marriage tonight, and the Zhang family has even prepared everything!" ”

The master frowned tightly and whispered, "Don't talk nonsense yet, go in and see what the situation is!" ”

We just walked into the courtyard, and there was a middle-aged couple who came out, the woman hid her face and sobbed, and the man also had red and swollen eyes, it seemed that they had all cried, no need to ask, these two people must be Zhang Qiaoqiao's parents. Sure enough, Zhang Qiaoqiao's mother stepped forward and took Li Mu's hand and greeted her: "Xiao Mu! This is really sorry for you, our family is not competitive, and we haven't married you yet...... I didn't expect you to come, thank you so much, if you know by chance, I must be very happy, woo woo woo ......"

Li Mu said even more excitedly: "Uncle, aunt, don't be sad, I can understand your feelings, and I am also sad in my heart, but since Qiaoqiao has gone...... Woowoo...... We who are alive still have to live well, where is Qiaoqiao now? I want to go see her......" In the middle of the sentence, Li Mu couldn't help crying, and was immediately pulled into the spiritual shed by Zhang Qiaoqiao's mother.

As soon as I came in, I saw the simple mourning shed, which was on the side of the paper, and this young child who died before his birth could only arrange a mourning shed and put the coffin outside, but not in the house, otherwise it would collide with the surviving elders, which would be very unfavorable to the elders. Of course, if an elderly person with a high ranking in the family dies, it is natural to put the body and coffin inside. However, now customs and habits are being simplified step by step, and most people, whether the elderly or children have died, most of them build a funeral shed in the courtyard, so as to facilitate the funeral.

Zhang Qiaoqiao's father looked at Master and me in surprise at the moment, but when he thought that we came with Li Mu, he also asked very politely, "I haven't asked you two ...... yet?"

I hurriedly hugged my fists to Zhang Qiaoqiao's father and said: "Uncle Zhang, Master and I are foot walkers, passing by Feng'er Village to stay at Li Mu's house, this time I know that Li Mu is going to come to your Zhang family to hold a secret marriage, so I want to help you." However, just as I finished speaking, I suddenly saw an old woman sitting in the hall, and the old woman was wearing a dark purple cotton jacket, sitting there with a serious face, but from time to time I glanced at the master, and what made me wonder was not that there was an old woman in the room, but why the old woman was wearing a cotton jacket.

Now it's a hot day, and it's very stuffy to wear single clothes, let alone a padded jacket. What a strange person!

"Mouthy! As a teacher here, how can you speak! The master glared at me, turned to Zhang Qiaoqiao's father and saluted, and said politely: "As the apprentice said, we are here to help with the underworld marriage. But...... I never thought that the Zhang family had invited the person in charge of the underworld marriage, maybe we wouldn't be able to help much this time......"

After speaking, the master's eyes slowly fell on the old woman in the house, and at this moment, the old woman also slowly stood up and sneered at Zhang Qiaoqiao's father: "I didn't expect the Li family to also bring a master, it seems that there will be no problems in this secret marriage, Master Zhang, don't you invite the master into the house?" Isn't that hospitality?! ”

Hearing the old woman's yin and yang strange voice, Zhang Qiaoqiao's father hurriedly smiled and said: "Sluggish and sluggish, Mr. Yang will not dislike it, please sit in the house, and with the help of Granny Yue, if there is Mr. Yang to help, then our Zhang family can be regarded as a lucky three lives, and the more masters, the better!" ”

Although this Qiaoqiao's father suddenly became so polite, it is not difficult for me to see that he is clearly in awe of the old woman named Granny Yue, so after hearing Granny Yue's words, he became so respectful to the master, however, the master did not care about this, nodded with a slight smile, and walked into the hall, and saluted Granny Yue, and said, "In Xia Yang ......"

"Needless to say! I heard what you said outside just now, the old woman, you are Mr. Yang, and I am the moon mother who knows from far and near, and I am looking for me to handle all the big and small things here, speaking of which, there is nothing special. "Who knew that this Mother-in-law's words were so indifferent and disdainful, especially in the face of Master, I saw it in my eyes, and I felt very uncomfortable, but Mother-in-law Yue then said: "Mr. Yang, since you are going to rob my old woman's business, why don't you talk about how to handle this secret marriage tonight?" It's okay for me to be a half-fairy this month and learn the lesson! ”

Where is this kind of teaching, it is clear that we don't look down on us as footwalkers, but in my eyes, this month's mother-in-law is really a frog at the bottom of the well, and the master is the master of the Maoshan School Tantric Sect, who doesn't know from the north and south of the river? She is a little half-fairy who cares about evil things in the local area, and she still doesn't look down on the master, maybe I didn't tell the identity of the master, but before I could say it, I was shocked back by the master's eyes.

The master hurriedly smiled and said: "Yang is a mountain and wild Taoist priest, not as advanced as Granny Yue's Taoism, and the materials for this underworld marriage have been prepared under the orders of Granny Yue, and everything is up to Granny Yue." But Yang seems to have heard it wrong, today is not the day for a dark marriage, right? Maybe it's tomorrow night, I can't tell! ”
