Chapter 29
After solving the problem of food and clothing, the two wandered around in the woods for a while. Ganqing Village is a small village with a small area, and the mountains and forests are not less than one-tenth of Yulin.
Gu Yunheng and Jiang Yueling walked the entire Ganqing Village in just half a day.I didn't see any abnormalities, except for wild beasts and birds in the mountains, there was really no living person.If they hadn't known that all the people in Ganqing Village were dead, they would have thought it was just a peaceful small village with a sparse population.
As the sun sets, the slanting light is getting weaker and weaker, and there are fewer and fewer bright places.
Gu Yunheng and Jiang Yueling rushed back to Ganqing Village before the night fell. When the sun completely hid and the moon climbed into the sky, the ghostly scene appeared again.
One by one, the villagers came out of their homes to do their own things, and the quiet small village became lively again.
The only living people shuttled among them, watching the old woman buying vegetables on the roadside bargaining with the hawker, listening to two grown men chatting about this year's harvest, and a few little boys playing Cuju on the street. It is a peaceful and carefree scene, if you hadn't experienced it yourself , Gu Yunheng finds it hard to believe that these people are not "people".
The two walked on foot, and after a while they came to the place where they had just entered the village yesterday.
Suddenly, the cry of a child was heard not far away, Gu Yunheng turned to look, the child was blocked by the back of a woman, and a familiar conversation sounded.
"I told you not to run so fast. Look, did you fall? Do you still dare to lift your legs and run when you go out?"
"No, I dare not."
"Where did it hurt?"
"here."
Gu Yunheng said in disbelief: "Why is it the same as what happened yesterday? Or did he fall again?"
I don't believe what I say.Gu Yunheng turned his head, but seeing Jiang Yueling frowning slightly, he must have been shocked by the scene in front of him.
Jiang Yueling was silent for a moment, and Fang said: "It's definitely not another fall." But he didn't dare to jump to conclusions, and asked Gu Yunheng to rush to the only arch bridge in Ganqing Village.
A child is very skinny, if he ran and fell down yesterday, it is also possible today.But marriage is different. It is impossible for the same groom to marry his first wife twice in two days.
The two stood on the bridge, and after waiting for a while, their expressions changed drastically.
A group of wedding teams appeared in the field of vision with drums and gongs, and the leading bridegroom officer rode a big horse, bowing to the people around him with joy on his face.
The welcoming team passed through Gu Yunheng and Jiang Yueling, beating and beating, and walked down the road they walked yesterday.
Jiang Yueling said to Gu Yunheng who was already stunned: "It's repeating what happened yesterday." His voice paused, and he quickly ran to a place.
Gu Yunheng was caught off guard and chased after him, "What are you running for?"
Jiang Yueling didn't reply and said, "If it's really a repetition, then the old lady from yesterday will also appear today."
"That's right! Why didn't I think of that." Gu Yunheng beat his chest and stomped his feet. After all, he was not as experienced as his uncle, and when he encountered something that he couldn't figure out, his mind froze.
Two figures came to the door of the grandmother's house one after the other. Jiang Yueling clenched his fist with one hand and made a gesture of knocking on the door. Before his hand fell, the old wooden door creaked and was opened from the inside.
The old lady carried yesterday's basket on her arm, and covered it with a piece of cloth. She didn't need to look at Yunheng to know that the cake she was going to sell today was covered underneath.
Gu Yunheng took a step forward and shouted, "What happened to the old man in Ganqing Village? Why is what happened today exactly the same as yesterday?"
As soon as the words fell, the old lady staggered across his body, walked on the street without looking sideways, and yelled in a rough voice: "Sell cakes, delicious leek cakes." She didn't see Gu Yunheng at all.
Being ignored and being passed through, Gu Yunheng was stunned on the spot.
Jiang Yueling frowned even deeper, and pulled Gu Yunheng to stop him from chasing him: "Don't go, it's useless, that old grandma's hands are different. The person we saw yesterday was not her."
"Where did the person from yesterday go?"
Jiang Yueling shook his head, not knowing, and said quietly: "Do you remember, the last time I saw the old lady yesterday, you asked her why she didn't sell cakes, how did she answer?"
Gu Yunheng still remembered what happened just now, and blurted out: "She said she was interrupted, so she won't sell it."
"Who interrupted her? What interrupted her? What interrupted her and she stopped going?"
Jiang Yueling asked three questions in a row, and Gu Yunheng answered subconsciously: "We are the only ones who can interrupt her. We interrupted her plan to sell cakes. As for her not going later, it is probably because she is unhappy?"
"Wrong!" Jiang Yueling said loudly, "What we interrupted was not her plan to sell cakes, but her plan to imitate the old grandma."
A sentence awakens the dreamer, everyone in Ganqing Village is repeating yesterday's events today, and yesterday's [-]% is repeating the day before yesterday's events. In this way, since the death of the whole village, they are repeating the same thing.
If they hadn't been interrupted by them yesterday, the person pretending to be a grandma would have done exactly what the grandma used to do.
Gu Yunheng continued along this line of thought: "Is it because she didn't show up today because she cared about us, or did she imitate another person?"
"Yesterday, she was trying to drive us away between the lines, as if she hated others interrupting her game." Jiang Yueling said firmly, "With her character, once she starts, she won't stop, so she must be someone else to imitate. "
Hearing him use "game" to describe this kind of thing, Gu Yun was horrified. The person imitating secretly might not be a pervert. What's your preference for playing this kind of game while hiding among the dead?Jiang Yueling could understand him, so he is also a pervert?
It doesn't matter if he has a bad mind, maybe he is still a pervert, why did he regard this master uncle as the direction of his efforts, and wanted to become a person like him?
Gu Yun couldn't help shaking his head, he didn't think about it at all, and focused his experience on the strange things in Ganqing Village.
Now that we have a goal, we just need to pull people out of the villagers.
This job is cumbersome to say, but it is very easy to do. You just need to try to see if all the villagers can see them and whether they are real.
The two chose a direction and checked one by one.The incident continued, and it was about their meal time, and many people walked in groups to the largest house in the area.
There were lights and festoons there, and there was joyful red everywhere. There were huge double happiness stickers on the walls and doors, and the wedding banquet was about to begin.
The marriage is from a wealthy family here, and the villagers of Ganqing Village only need to say congratulations before they can go in and eat the flowing water mat.
Gu Yunheng and Jiang Yueling couldn't be seen by others, they both skipped a word of congratulations and walked across the high threshold.
In the center of the main hall, a couple of newlyweds stood side by side, and beside them stood an old man with a happy face, smiling all over his face and saying, "One worship to heaven and earth——"
Gu Yunheng had just checked a table of guests, and cast his gaze along the shout.
"Second worship high hall-"
Gu Yunheng touched Jiang Yueling and said, "Look, the bride is not small, almost as tall as the groom."
"Husband and wife bow to each other—" Amidst the cheers and applause of the crowd, the old gentleman spit out the last four words, "Sent to the bridal chamber—"
The bride is surrounded by a group of maids and sent to the back room, and the groom will naturally have to be detained for a round of toasting before he is allowed to go back for a spring breeze.
Gu Yunheng thought secretly: It is said that the wedding night in the bridal chamber is one of the four great happy events in life. The groom is so lucky that he spends the wedding night in the bridal chamber every day.If the bride's beauty is a great blessing, and if the bride is a girl with a concave head and deep eyes, then——that would be too miserable.
Thinking about it, I actually wanted to see the true face of the bride in Mount Lu.
"Look at the ground."
Jiang Yueling uttered a word out of nowhere, and Gu Yunheng yelled, incomprehensible: "Ah? Where are you looking?"
Jiang Yueling raised his chin in the direction of the bride.
Gu Yunheng also said that he was as curious about the bride's appearance as he was, as expected of his uncle, his eyes drooped, and he was stunned when he saw a shadow elongated by the candlelight.
this, this-
It was only now that Gu Yunheng discovered that apart from him and Jiang Yueling, only the bride had a shadow in this mansion, and there was no one else without exception.
A shadow is a living person, and a person dressed as an old woman is now pretending to be a newlywed.
Gu Yunheng was annoyed that he didn't observe carefully enough, that he ignored such an important point and wasted so much time, and at the same time, he was going to catch the bride.
Jiang Yueling grabbed his hand, suppressed his impulsive force, and said in a low voice, "Don't startle the snake."
Gu Yunheng was taken aback, anyway, that person would not stop until he did a good job in this play, he didn't need to be so anxious, he just did what he said.
After calming down, the two looked around the ground again, making sure that there was nothing missing, and when the "bride" was really the only suspicious person, they walked lightly towards the new house.
On the way, Gu Yunheng had a plan, and quietly discussed with Jiang Yueling: "I'll go in later and pretend to be the groom, so she won't be suspicious. You wait at the door and wait for the opportunity."
Jiang Yueling nodded in response, and arrived at the door of the new house in a short while.
Gu Yunheng gave Jiang Yueling a wink, saw him stand still, and pushed open the door.
He drew out the folding fan at his waist for protection, and walked towards the bride step by step.
The bride was sitting upright by the bed in a happy attire, with a red hijab embroidered with dragons and phoenixes on her head, obediently waiting for her wishful husband to lift it off.
In her memory, the groom would lift her hijab with Yu Ruyi, a symbol of wishful thinking, given by the girl in the room, and call her boudoir name softly, and then the two of them would drink together to complete the ceremony.
Unexpectedly, none of this happened. The groom stepped into the new house, and his hijab was lifted right after him. Before she could scream, the person who lifted the hijab took the first step and screamed.
Jiang Yueling didn't know, so he kicked the door open.
In the room, the bride pinched her waist and was furious, with the red hijab at her feet.Gu Yunheng clung to the corner of the wall, holding the folded fan that hadn't been opened yet, wandering about, seeing the master uncle coming in, he hurriedly ran towards him: "Master uncle, this bride is so ugly, the painting looks like a ghost."
Jiang Yueling took a few more glances calmly and said, "It's okay."
"Is it still called?" Gu Yunheng was amazed. The man's eyebrows were thicker than his fingers, and there were black things around his eyes, which looked bigger than copper bells. The puff was too thick, and it fell off as he walked. The two lumps of blush were almost applied to her hair, she looked like a monkey squatting on a tree in the mountains with its butt pouted, not to mention her bloody mouth, as if she had just eaten a few children raw.
Can this be called okay?The unsalted girl who was pointed at in the face and called ugly should die unjustly?
The bride was not happy when she was interrupted, and she was called ugly, and she didn't make an appointment. When she saw the deposit, she became angry and said in a bad tone, "It's you again!"
When he opened his mouth, Gu Yunheng suddenly cried out in a fuss: "Heaven, are you a man?"
