Chapter 117: Catching the Groom

  What is the feeling of replacing heaven and walking the way, I understand now, this feeling is really cool, although it's inevitable to have some private thoughts, but it's really soul-stirring. I finally understand why Shui Bing Yue shouted that sentence when the moon punished you, you have to pose. It's cool.

  I was so tired that I couldn't take it anymore, after all, I hadn't slept all night. So, after taking a taxi back home, I fell onto the bed and fell asleep. You say it's weird or not, but that runaway dead girl actually appeared in my dream again, making me feel sick with its back. This was already the dozens of times I had this dream, yet I still chased after it like an idiot, but no matter what, I just couldn't catch up. Finally, I managed to catch up, but as expected, when I grabbed its shoulder, I woke up.

  I glanced at my phone and it was already past 5 pm, just as Bao Jinlong and his wife had finished cooking dinner. They invited me over to eat, so I shamelessly went to scrounge for food. But then I thought, although we're buddies, constantly scrounging for meals isn't right either. So I went downstairs to buy a few bottles of beer and came back to start drinking with Bao Long.

  It has to be said, those without wives worry about their wives, and those with wives still worry about their wives. Baoding Long and I are a perfect contrast.

  Don't look at me now, I'm just a single guy, but I have freedom. Unlike Bao Jinlong, who is completely like a prisoner now. Even when he goes out on the street and takes a few glances at other beautiful women, his wife will scold him. Even if he drinks a few more bottles of beer, his wife will glare at him with her eyebrows furrowed, looking like a fierce woman.

  It turns out that Bao Jinlong was also a big shot in college, after all, the people in our dormitory were all of this moral character, and even if they were educated, they would still be first-class rascals. Don't look at his thinness, he is actually a rolling knife meat. In Northeastern dialect, that's what we call "donkey-like domineering".

  But now? He's just a poor little treasure, he's an ass, his wife is even more of an ass. They're completely under his control. I remember one time, I was at home watching a comedy film "Big Husband", Bao Jinlong came over to watch with me, and as we were watching, he actually started crying. He said it was too touching, too moving, too stimulating.

  I and Bao Jindong chatted on the wine table, recalling that annoying university life. We thought back then we were all dashing young men, spending our days with those chicks. Who would have thought time flies, thirty years east of the river thirty years west of the river? Nowadays Bao Jindong has become a tragic henpecked husband, while I'm still the same old brother.

  Actually, I knew that Bao Jindong's wife had a sharp tongue and a sharp heart. When she saw us chatting together with our yellow and blue hair, walking shoulder to shoulder looking at beautiful women, she gave Bao Jindong a fierce glare, and he lowered his head like he had received an imperial decree and didn't dare speak again.

  His wife said to me: "Xiao Fei, you're not young anymore, how long will you keep drifting like this?"

  I nodded with tears and laughter, and drained the cup of wine.

  It seems like everyone is moving forward on their own path, while I'm still stuck in the same place. Dammit.

  After putting away the bowls and chopsticks, I returned to my room, sat in front of my second-hand laptop, didn't know what to do, so I opened a website and started reading. You say, nowadays this internet, every single one is so capable of nonsense, if the male lead doesn't have three wives and four concubines, it seems like they're not doing justice to their country, probably others don't know he's a stud horse. Those female leads are also like that, as if they've lost all men, dead or alive they just want to follow the male lead, regardless of how many wives he has.

  Looking at me so depressed, if I were like that too, wouldn't it be fine? Forget it, I thought about the things that happened to myself, and suddenly felt that if one day I didn't do it anymore, writing down the things I've experienced would also be okay. After all, it's just a story, they won't believe it, and it can also let those who read books understand what five weaknesses and three flaws are, people who cultivate the Tao are not as glamorous as those on TV.

  As for what happened later, let's talk about it later. I turned off the computer, turned off the lights and lay on my small bed, and my mind started to wander again. It seems that this has become a compulsory course for me, just like "San Qing Shu".

  I find myself always thinking about something useless, even though I know it's pointless. I've sorted out my thoughts, and for now the most important thing is to take care of that little white face tomorrow, then let Li Xia go to Yin City in peace, after which I'll look for that female ghost. I don't know why, but these past two days I've been feeling unusually tired, more and more wanting to return to Longjiang, maybe Harbin really isn't suitable for me, this place is full of right and wrong.

  I increasingly feel that Mr. Yin and Yang's profession is no longer suitable for this era.

  As I thought about it, I fell asleep. What's strange is that I didn't have any dreams that night. When I opened my eyes, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

  I got out of bed and gave Lao Yi a call, asking him how the preparations for the wedding were going. Lao Yi had obviously been up for a while already, and he told me: "Everything's ready here, what about your side? Make sure that scoundrel shows up on time!"

  I smiled and said to Old Yi on the other end of the phone, "Don't worry, that kid will definitely come because he has something in my hands. By the way, there might be a fierce battle tonight, I reckon that kid will bring people with him. Can your two-minute Supermen still be used?"

  Lao Yi on the phone must have understood what I meant, he said to me: "Don't worry, how many people can that Sunzi find? Can it exceed thirty? All of them will be knocked down within two minutes!"

  After he said that, I didn't have any worries at all. After chatting with him for a few more sentences, I hung up the phone.

  I'm really envious of Lao Yi's two-minute superhuman strength. Compared to my symbol magic, this is way cooler and more practical, it's like a devilish muscle man! Actually, with this ability, Lao Yi can totally go rob banks, just don't know if he's bulletproof or not. If not, that'd be tragic, one shot would take him down.

  This is also the principle of Bajiquan breaking Wushu and Pidan breaking Qigong. Where there is an advantage, there must be a disadvantage. I am too familiar with this principle. Just like when I was taking the college entrance examination, I had already secured victory, but still made mistakes due to carelessness. Now that I understand it, this is the way of heaven. Heaven is fair and will not allow you to use unorthodox methods to disrupt this balance.

  After finishing dinner, I also started preparing. After all, it's the first time to hold a funeral, so it must be more formal, right? So I drew three "Jia Xu Zi Jiang Borrow Fire Symbols" and one "Ding You Wen Open Road Symbol". This is also a matter of face, at least it can intimidate people.

  Then I took another cup of water, stirred it with my precious black fingernail, and applied the water to the wound on my right wrist. Fifteen minutes later, no matter how I moved, it didn't hurt anymore.

  Then I closed my eyes and waited for tonight's arrival.

  Night fell, I opened my eyes, had a bite to eat, got dressed and went downstairs. On the taxi, I gave Lao Yi a call and said: "Lao Yi, I'm heading over there now, have you come out?"

  Lao Yi on the phone said: "It's out, it will arrive in about half an hour."

  I smiled and said into the phone: "Alright then, see you when we arrive."

  After hanging up the phone, I thought to myself, damn it, let's catch the groom tonight.

  It's past 7 o'clock in the evening, and this time I met a taxi driver who was about my age, a young man. Obviously, he wasn't afraid that I was a ghost or a hijacker. The car CD played Xu Wei's "As Free as the Wind". As he listened to the song, he also hummed along with Xu Wei's melancholic voice.

  I am as free as the wind, just like your tenderness, cannot be detained. It sounds really good, after a while, the driver asked me: "I say, buddy, so late to such a desolate place, doing business?"

  I was taken aback, it seems he thought I was involved in some shady dealings. So I forced a smile and said to him: "What business? It's all just small-time stuff."

  He saw me say that, and didn't ask any more questions. He pulled me to the place, I paid the fare and got off, looking at that piece of woodland, that's where the Night Fox monster disappeared. I didn't expect that in less than half a year, I would come here again.

  What is justice? I finally understand a little now, although it's still hard to describe, but I firmly believe that what I'm doing now is justice.

  I stood by the side of the road waiting for Lao Yi, after about fifteen minutes, I saw a figure jogging towards me. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Lao Yi, with a large backpack on his back, running over. I thought to myself that he probably had bad luck again and didn't hitch a good ride, just like last time.

  Lao Yi ran over to me and said, "Let's get going, when is that bastard coming?"

  I told him: "It's probably going to be a bit later, don't worry, it will definitely come!"

  Then, Old Yi and I walked to the side of the road, found an empty space and arranged those things that must be prepared for a ghost wedding. To say that the things used for a ghost wedding are really quite strange, not to mention the yuanbao candles, but also two big red silk flowers tied with red ribbons, three cups of wine for the dead, two apples, a long red rope, descendant dumplings, and longevity noodles. As well as two small paper-made golden boys and jade girls.

  Lao Yi said to me while putting things on the ground, "That thing, all the things have been found, it's just that the descendant dumplings and longevity noodles are a bit hard to take out, can we use quick-frozen dumplings and bowl Kang instead?"

  "I said to him: 'Sorry, Old Yi, special circumstances require special treatment. It's fine as long as we have something.'"

  Then Lao Yi brought out a bag of quick-frozen dumplings and a bowl of Master Kang's braised beef noodles. After everything was ready, the two of us returned to the side of the road and waited for the arrival of tonight's groom.

  Twenty minutes later, I saw two cars coming from far away, one was a sedan and the other was a van. Old Yi said to me: "They're here, the car in front is that bastard's!"

  I looked at the two cars, which could barely fit a few more people. I thought to myself that it would be easy for me and Lao Yi to take care of them. So I said to Lao Yi, "Lao Yi, get ready, when they get out of the car, we'll take care of them!"

  Lao Yi nodded slightly and didn't care that it was still very cold outside. He suddenly opened his clothes, then let out a soft "Lin".

  I then exercised my wrist, picked up a stone from the ground and put it in my pocket, preparing to smash something satisfying later.

  I saw the two cars quickly arrive here, park by the side of the road, and a group of people got out, about 14 or 15 of them. Under the car lights, they looked like thugs, obviously a bunch of gangsters. Yu Xi stood in front of the crowd with an air of superiority, looking at me with eyes that seemed to say "if I don't cripple you, I'm not human".

  I let out a cold laugh and exchanged a glance with Lao Yi, it's time to grab the groom.
