Volume 1, Ghost Town of the Bone Forest _ Chapter 1, Walking Marriage

Next Chapter

Everyone will experience some bizarre events in their lives, and what I have experienced may be a hundred times more bizarre than what you have heard.

And the cause of all this began with a "walking marriage" that year.

My surname is Ba, my surname is Xiaoshan, and when I was young, I was a young man with some culture but not yet serious about going to work. In the spring of my twenties, I followed a folk culture seminar in Shanghai to the vicinity of Lugu Lake to study the local folk customs. The reason why I went there to investigate was to hear Cui Zhen, a big fat man of about 200 pounds, say that there is a minority there whose marriage values are very weak and can be polyandry, and I am very interested in this.

After several days of train rides, several days of reversing cars and ox carts, we arrived at our destination, a Mosuo village.

The Mosuo people have very little contact with the outside world, and the locals have their own language and customs. However, because Cui Zhen had been to the northwest of Yunnan several times before and got acquainted with several fellow villagers in the village, they did not reject us.

In the evening, a grand bonfire was held, and the Mosuo people who sang and danced had a good time with a few of us researchers who liked to be lively.

I remember Cui Zhen sitting next to me and laughing and saying that the Mosuo people have a very unusual custom called walking marriage.

Roughly because the Mosuo people are a matriarchal society, monogamy is not respected here. During the day, if a girl falls in love with a young man from a particular family, she will secretly send Qiu Bo. If the young man also likes the other person, he will climb the window of the girl's house at night, knock on the window, and hang some token on the outside of the window, and the room will be opened that night. The next day, they went back to their respective homes. If either party suddenly dislikes the other party, they will naturally separate, and there is no divorce procedure.

As soon as I heard it, I was amazed, this custom of getting married sounds incompatible with the big city, and Cui Zhen led a team to the Mosuo village to inspect this meaning.

Halfway through the bonfire, I drank a lot of wine, my stomach was a little swollen, and my head was a little dizzy. I got up and walked to the haystack behind, and when I got to a place where there was no one around, I was thinking about convenience, when suddenly a figure came next to me, and I was vague in front of me, but I saw a figure with long hair, and the others were not clear.

She circled around me, and I smiled and asked, "Girl, who are you?" ”

The other party suddenly stuck to me and threw himself into my arms, I immediately smelled a fragrance, the young man who was still twenty years old at the time, was really a little confused, scratched his head and said, "Girl, what is this for?" ”

The girl took my hand and walked out, I smelled the fragrance and my head seemed to be even more dizzy, as soon as she pulled me, I immediately followed, and the two people did not know how long they walked. My head was getting dizzy, but when I saw a house in front of me, she walked to the door and pointed to the stairs at the window next to me.

I remembered in my heart what Cui Zhen said about getting married. A smile suddenly bloomed on her face, this girl should have taken a fancy to me. Anyway, this is the Mosuo tribe, there are not so many obsessed loves, it's a big deal to pass tonight, and then pat your ass and leave.

So I staggered up the stairs to the second floor, and entered the room, where it was so dark that I couldn't see anything clearly, except that I saw the girl standing in the doorway with her back to me, her long black hair down to the ground, dressed in Mosuo clothes.

"Girl, I haven't seen your face yet......"

I said with a smile and sat down on the edge of the bed. The girl slowly turned her face sideways, I was happy in my heart, I felt that I had come to Yanfu today. But I saw her slowly leaning over and sitting gently beside me, I could still only see half of her face, which looked beautiful and delicate, and there was a kind of surprise that she was holding a pipa and half covering her face. Then the aroma came back to my face, and I was dizzy and fell asleep completely.

This sleep is very comfortable, and I don't know how long I seem to be obsessed with the girl in my dream. I only felt happy and fairy-like, but when I woke up the next day, I found myself lying in the woods more than 100 meters away from the village.

When I woke up, I was a little confused, I was obviously following a girl, how could I wake up and be in this broken place. I wanted to stand up, but I felt that my body was weak and my head felt like it was about to swell. Staggered back to the village, Cui Zhen saw me and asked me where I went yesterday, I was embarrassed to say, after all, it was my first time.

At that time, the inspection period was about a week or so, the Mosuo people were hospitable, and the next day it was served with wine, and after I had drunk high, the woman appeared for the second time and took me to the small building. This time, I still didn't see her face, even if I wanted to ask, but the smell came to my face, and I immediately fainted, and woke up still in the woods.

The same thing happened for two days in a row, and I felt a little strange in my heart, so I secretly asked Cui Zhen to sum it up.

As soon as he heard what I said, his face was a little ugly, and I asked what was going on.

Cui Zhen said with a gloomy face: "In the marriage of the Mosuo tribe, women call men 'Ah Zhu'. Men call women 'Ashaw'. If the two are happy, it is the best, but if after separation, 'Ah Xiao' is unwilling, and will go to the old witch outside the village. The old witch will give the woman a kind of incense powder, which can be exchanged for the heart of 'Ah Zhu'. However, every use is tempered with the blood of 'Ashaw'. It is a kind of witchcraft here in Yunnan. If you use it too many times, the woman will die. After she died, if the ghost persisted, she would stay outside the village, find those 'Ah Zhu' she fancied, and then bring it back to the ghost building to get married. I don't think that's what happened to you. ”

As soon as I heard Cui Zhen's words, my heart trembled with fright, and my face was difficult to look at in an instant. But after thinking about it, this is all folklore, where can I take it seriously, maybe it is because I drank too much and had spring dreams for two nights in a row.

"If you don't believe me, why don't you try it tonight and drink less."

Cui Zhen patted me on the shoulder at that time, I squatted on the ground and thought about it before nodding and saying, "Anyway, even if you die, you can be a merry ghost, don't be afraid." ”

On the third night, I didn't drink a few glasses, and when it was nearly eight or nine o'clock in the evening, I walked outside the village, and looked around to see that there was no one, and the cold wind blew, and I couldn't help shivering, and I felt that I had really thought too much. Just as he was about to turn his head back, he suddenly smelled a strange fragrance behind him, and his whole heart immediately lifted.

I wanted to move forward, but my steps were a little fluttering, and I felt that my feet were not strong. There seemed to be movement behind him, and when he turned his head, he saw the long-haired beauty appear in front of him again. The woman seemed to be saying something, but I couldn't understand it. The aroma made me vigilant, and I didn't dare to smell it too much and hurriedly held my breath, staring at her face carefully, but it was still covered by the thick long hair, and I couldn't see it really.

She also seemed to think that I was a little strange, and suddenly grabbed my hand, I wanted to break free but I felt my head shake slightly, and when I woke up, I was already standing outside the small building.

She pulled me but didn't let go, this time she dragged me directly to the door, the strength of the woman's hand was extremely great, I thought in my heart that it was not related to the legend that Cui Zhen said. I couldn't shake my hand off a few times in a row, and an evil fire suddenly appeared in my heart, and I stopped suddenly, the woman was stunned, and the moment I turned around, I stretched out my hand and pulled away her hair at once!

Under the long hair, a terrifying face was revealed at this time. The left half is a pretty girl, and the other half is a terrible skeleton. No wonder she covered her face with her long hair every time, and even what I saw was only half as beautiful as it was.

I immediately stepped back, but she was holding my arm, and although I was afraid, I wanted to run away. I went so hard that I thrashed the hand that was holding me.

After a few moments, the hand that was holding me was completely broken by my brute force, but I saw that the thin layer of skin was wrapped in white bones, and I fell to the ground because I was too hard. It's just that in that situation at that time, where can I think about it more, I turned around and ran after getting up.

But I heard the woman behind me seem to be saying something again, anyway, I don't understand it, and I don't want to hear it. Running out for hundreds of meters in one go, tired and panting, he was holding on to the tree and panting.

There was a sound behind me, and when I turned around, I saw that the figure of the terrible woman was chasing after me, and there was a strange fragrance wafting through the air. I was scared half to death, and I wanted to run, but it was too late, my legs and feet were weak, and I inhaled a lot of strange aromas, and I struggled a few times, and finally fell to the ground.

This time I slept more heavily than the previous two times, and when I woke up, it was already two days later, and I was lying in the tent of the stockade.

Cui Zhen and several team members were sitting next to me, and when they saw that I was awake, Cui Zhen hurriedly asked, "Can I be considered awake." You've had a fever for days, what's going on? How did you get confused in the grove? The big guy has been looking for you for a long time! ”

I was startled and hurriedly got up, but I felt that my limbs were getting weaker and weaker, and I shook my head and said, "You kid is right, I was targeted by a female ghost who got married!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Cui Zhen's face changed instantly!
