Early spring evening in Harbin, no wind, very cold.
By the evening, this messy thing is now kneeling in front of the incense burner, his whole body trembling uncontrollably, as if he's about to collapse at any moment. Old Yi steps forward and burns those two paper people, after burning them clean, the blue-clothed male paper person turns into a golden boy, and the red-clothed female paper person becomes a jade girl. To be honest, I've also never seen these paper people after they were burned before, so last time was just Hu Laoqi's trickery, it shouldn't count. This time, taking a look, not to mention that they're really lifelike two little kids, even their faces don't have a hint of blood color, with skin as pale as if smiling but not smiling, the two streaks of rouge on their cheeks look very eerie.
Lao Yi seemed to have seen this kind of paper man before. Seeing the two children appear, he said to them: "You two, hurry up and serve the young master and the bride."
Those two paper men laughed and jumped towards Li Xiao and You Xi, Li Xiao didn't care because he was already a ghost himself. But that unlucky You Xi saw the little blue-clothed fatty jumping beside him and almost scared him to death. At this time, he completely forgot about his dignity, kneeling down and begging me: "Cui Ge, no, Cui Ye!!! I beg of you, spare my life!!! I beg of you!!!"
Listening to this nonsense, I laughed and said coldly to him: "Our new official groom, do you think you can still get away with it at this time? That thing, that little brother, shut his mouth."
That paper boy smiled at me, then actually pulled down his own small hand and stuffed it into Yu Xi's mouth, making Yu Xi unable to speak again. Seeing such a bizarre scene, Lao Yi and I both broke out in cold sweat. Damn it, unexpectedly this paper person was so exaggerated. All that could be seen was Yu Xi's mouth stuffed with the paper person's small hand, unable to speak again, staring at us with extremely fearful eyes.
I saw that Sunzi was speechless, so I took out the red thread and tied one end to Yu Xi's neck. The other end was lit for half a moment before being extinguished and then tied to Li Xiao's leg. In "Da Guan Qin", there is a saying that the old moon ties the red line on the feet of two people in love, and they will never be separated. However, whoever has their red thread tied lower will have the final say after marriage. You can just let Yu Xi be the dog, haha.
After everything was ready, I nodded to Li Xiao. She understood and, with the support of the paper jade girl, knelt down beside Yu Xi, who was extremely frightened. For a moment, the air seemed to quiet down again.
I exchanged a glance with Lao Yi, then shook my head with a bitter smile. I cleared my throat and loudly proclaimed: "Today is the eleventh day of the third month in the year of Bǐ Chǒu, it's the day of Li Shi's white wedding in Harbin! The time has arrived, let the newlyweds begin their worship to heaven and earth!"
The man on the ground struggled to get up and run away, but Lao Yi walked behind him, picked up a stone and said fiercely: "You want to run? As soon as you stand up, I'll smash you to death with this stone, and then catch your soul to worship!"
At Yu's words, he immediately went limp and didn't dare move again.
I shouted: "One bow to heaven and earth, all gods are clear!!!!"
Li Xiaoxiao slowly knelt down, expressionless. Yu Xi didn't dare to kneel even if he died, but Lao Yi helped him out by kicking his back, and his head heavily hit the ground. His forehead was injured, and blood flowed down.
"I shouted again: 'Two bows to the Western Paradise, all spirits of the underworld!!'"
Li Xiaohuai changed direction and bowed to the west. Yu Xian was obviously stunned, still without reaction, Lao Yi grabbed his clothes like a chicken and turned him around. Then another kick.
His forehead knocked heavily on the ground again, as if in atonement for his own sins.
I cleared my throat again and shouted loudly: "Husband and wife salute each other, love transcending lifetimes!!!!!"
Li Xiaozhuo turned to face Yu Xi, his eyes clearly devoid of any affection, yet he still slowly bowed down. At this time, Yu Xi already knew that if he didn't bow, his own life would probably be gone, after all, who could withstand being smashed to the ground like that?
This time he seemed to have come to his senses and trembled as he knelt down.
After three bows, the yin marriage took effect. On that day, when he arrived at the underworld, there would be records in the archives of the Book of Life and Death, and he couldn't deny it anymore. This pair of enemies would definitely meet again in their future reincarnations. This is the cycle of cause and effect, heaven's justice and earth's principles. I believe that if Yu Ye didn't go to hell, in his next reincarnation after death, he would inevitably escape the fate of Li Xiao's sin.
After all, heaven is fair, although I am very disgusted with this sentence, but it is indeed so, this is the truth that everything has its retribution, evil will be punished, good will be rewarded, not unpunished, just the time has not come yet, if not in this life, then in the next!
Actually, the wedding ceremony is over now, but I still feel a bit unbalanced. His grandfather's, if we let this kid off so easily, it would be too cheap for him. This won't do, I must leave some impression on this kid. But I just can't think of what to do.
At this time, Li Xiao spoke up and said to You Xi: "You Xi, I'm already dead. When I was alive, I didn't care about anything and just let things go with the wind. But now that we're husband and wife, can you kiss me before I leave?"
When I heard Li Xiao say this, I couldn't help but feel a little melancholy in my heart. I asked, why are there so many infatuated women in the world? Why are there also so many unfaithful men?
What's wrong with this world?!
That evening, when Li Xiao suddenly wanted to kiss him, he was so frightened that his soul flew away, afraid of what might happen to himself. He desperately shed tears and shook his head, but since his mouth was covered by the paper boy's hand, he couldn't speak, only making "Mmm! Mmm! Mmm!" sounds.
"What's wrong with you, why are you so finicky? This won't do, that won't do, what's the matter? I'm getting angry, and coldly sneer at this scum: "What's your problem? Can't wait anymore? Let me tell you, if you want to live, come and kiss me!! You little something, take back your hand!"
That little paper man listened to what I said, smiled and pulled his half arm out of You Xi's mouth, then put it back on his own arm.
Then I said with a sly smile, "Since the bride has made her suggestion, let's do it this way, we'll have a Chinese-Western fusion wedding! Now please welcome the bride to kiss the groom!"
He peed again. Haha, it's really frustrating and funny to see him like that. This kid has the potential to be a little white face, but why is he so timid? It's just a kiss, not asking for his life. What's the big deal?
Li Xiao couldn't help but smile wryly when she saw Yu Xi's silly appearance, and she couldn't believe that she had actually fallen in love with someone like him. She couldn't help but lament the teasing of fate.
She whispered to Yuexi: "Once, when you first kissed me, you said that my lips were the most beautiful thing in the world. But why are you so afraid now?"
Yu Xi, with a nose full of snot and eyes full of tears, faced Li Xiao and said: "Xiao Xiao... please forgive me! I'm begging you, for the sake of our past relationship... I really don't want to die!!"
Li Xiaoxiao smiled, indeed it was so heartbreaking. She said to Yu Xi: "Alright then, I only ask for a kiss from you now, and then I will leave, we won't have any relationship anymore."
Yu Xi listened to Li Xiao say this, as if he saw a glimmer of hope. He looked at Li Xiao with a mixture of doubt and expectation, his voice trembling as he asked: "Really?"
Li Xiao smiled and nodded, but it was a desolate sight.
I and Lao Yi were furious upon hearing this, how could it be settled like that? I thought to myself, Yu Xi this scoundrel, even if he was beaten to paralysis it would be too light a punishment. Don't you know, Yu Xi can completely be considered a murderer! Isn't this letting him off too easy?
But after all, this is other people's business. Since the parties involved have said so, I and Lao Yi can't say anything else, we can only respect Li Xia's choice.
Only then did Yu Si seem to have made up his mind, and he may have also realized that the Li Xiao in front of him was a ghost, but it wasn't so scary after all. It was just a kiss, and maybe after kissing, he would be saved.
Then he said to Li Xiao: "Xiao Xiao, I owe you an apology, so let me kiss you once as compensation!"
I'm going to his grandfather!!! He also has the nerve to say this!!! I couldn't help it, I wanted to rush up and beat him again, but Lao Yi pulled me back, he shook his head at me.
I knew what he meant, it didn't matter if I beat him up a little later. First, let's satisfy Li Xia's wish and send her to the underworld, then beating him up wouldn't be too late. So I endured it for now.
Li Xia brought her face closer, and Yuexi took a deep breath, slowly kissing Li Xia's lips.
I really admire Li Xia's tolerance, probably because of love, one word is affection, all grievances are resolved in this kiss.
But is it really just a story in the book? In reality, can everything disappear with just one kiss?
The answer is definite.
What happened next was a shock to me, and even until today, it remains vivid in my memory.
At that moment, when Yu Qin's lips touched Li Xia's, Li Xia's face suddenly changed, becoming terrifying, as if it had been dead for several months, and suddenly began to rot deeply. Maggots crawled out of his nose, eyes, and mouth, and his hair fell off, like a rotten egg.
At dusk, he suddenly saw that his dear Li Xiao had become like this, and was frightened to death. Then he fainted and fell unconscious.
At the moment he fainted, a spherical object suddenly drilled out of his body, shining brightly. Li Xia grabbed it quickly with her hands. Then Li Xia transformed back into that beautiful appearance.
All of this happened almost in an instant, and neither I nor Lao Yi reacted. We both opened our mouths wide, staring at Li Xia who was sneering coldly.
What's going on here?
Li Xia got up and floated in front of me and Lao Yi, gave a miserable smile, and said to us: "I still can't forgive him."
I and Lao Yi were stunned, with cold sweat breaking out on our backs. They say the most venomous thing is a woman's heart, and today I finally saw it for myself. It turned out that she had never intended to let Yu Xi off so easily, and when Yu Xi approached her, she transformed into an extremely terrifying appearance, scaring Yu Xi until she fainted.
Lao Yi and I were both stunned, unable to utter a word. Li Xiao held up the glass-like object and asked us, "Do you two know what this is?"
I'm really not sure what this is, but Lao Yi recognized it. He looked at Li Xiao with some surprise and said: "This... should be one of the three souls and seven spirits, right?"
When Lao Yi said that, I understood. It's often said that if a person receives an extreme shock, their soul will be scared out of their body. It seems this is true. I thought to myself, what would happen to Ye Xi after waking up with one less spirit? This might just be the legendary retribution.
Li Xiao listened to Lao Yi and smiled, saying: "In that case, let me take it with me. Consider it as repayment for what you owe me."
I swallowed a mouthful of saliva, although I said I thought of many ways to deal with the whole evening, but I really didn't think that this sister's method would be thousands of times more ruthless than mine.
It's too scary, maybe this is what 'love' is. Love can be beautiful, more colorful than fireworks, but love can also be ugly, more venomous than a snake's bite. Two extremes, vastly different as heaven and earth.
Everyone is trapped by emotions, and I'm afraid it's because of this reason.
