Chapter 991: The Extremely Eerie Wedding in the Dream and Xu Hongdou
This dream, to be honest, is actually quite eerie.
That night,
Uncle Xiong and Aunt Li both dreamed that they appeared at Xiong Tao's wedding.
As the groom's parents,
Uncle Xiong and Aunt Li were dressed in new clothes, waiting happily for the wedding to proceed.
When relatives and friends came to offer congratulations,
Uncle Xiong even distributed cigarettes with great enthusiasm.
But just at this festive moment,
Xiong Tao walked up to Uncle Xiong and Aunt Li wearing a knight's uniform.
Uncle Xiong could even clearly see the bloodstain on Xiong Tao's neck.
Then,
Xiong Tao knelt down with a thud before Uncle Xiong and Aunt Li, crying out, "Dad, Mom, your son has been unfilial. I left you before even getting married and couldn't even leave you a memento..."
As soon as Xiong Tao finished speaking,
Aunt Li burst into tears with a wail.
Then both of them woke up.
After silently crying for a long time, they compared notes and discovered they had actually had the same dream.
At first,
Uncle Xiong thought he had such a dream because he missed his son too much.
But over the years,
dreams like this kept appearing in Uncle Xiong's sleep from time to time.
Then,
Uncle Xiong felt something was wrong.
After discussing it with Aunt Li, the two of them spent money to find a fortune teller said to be very accurate.
After handing over a red envelope of five hundred yuan,
the fortune teller said that Xiong Tao still had an unfulfilled wish, which was why he could not be reborn.
Only after the family fulfilled Xiong Tao's wish would it be possible for Xiong Tao to reincarnate.
Uncle Xiong, not understanding, asked what unfulfilled wish Xiong Tao could possibly have.
After collecting another five hundred, the fortune teller told Uncle Xiong to find a companion for Xiong Tao and arrange a ghost marriage; only then would this matter be completely settled.
Ghost marriage,
for people in big cities like the Imperial Capital, is an extremely feudal act that violates human ethics and common sense.
But in remote small towns, such situations are actually not uncommon.
Uncle Xiong and Aunt Li had even encountered such cases among their acquaintances.
However,
as university students from the 1980s, Uncle Xiong and Aunt Li themselves felt resistant to the idea.
So at the very beginning,
the two of them did not pay too much attention; they just asked the fortune teller to help interpret it. If it didn't work out, they would not force the issue.
But,
who knew that after this,
