Chapter 91
After waiting for a while, the bridal chamber was completely quiet, and only the sound of snoring was heard.
Lin Qingyue said: "It seems this family should be fine. Let's go, let's go find Xie Shouzheng."
According to the previous few times, if something was going to happen, it would be when they just entered the bridal chamber and hadn't completed the last step.
Plus Lin Qingyue and Dongfang Yan waited here for a long time and didn't sense any evil aura, so they concluded that this family wouldn't have an accident.
The family Xie Shouzheng and Hong Yao went to lived in a village at the other end of Yushi Zhen.
After waiting all night, there was no gain either.
After meeting with Lin Qingyue, Xie Shouzheng said: "Could it be that the evil spirit sensed our existence, so it didn't dare to show up?"
Lin Qingyue said: "I don't think so. It's a random choice, and it just didn't happen to choose the two families we were watching tonight?"
Xie Shouzheng said: "If that's the case, then we don't have so much time to meddle in other people's business."
Hong Yao, after getting along for the past two days, knew that they still had to rush on the road, so she suggested:
"Why don't I come back and investigate the matter clearly after I take revenge? Don't misunderstand, I don't want to use this to delay time. I promised you to surrender afterwards, and I will definitely keep my promise. Besides, I have already been planted with a killing talisman by the young lady, so you don't have to worry about me playing tricks."
Dongfang Yan said: "It's not that I don't believe you, but I feel that this matter is still a bit strange."
But what exactly is strange - Dongfang Yan and Lin Qingyue's eyes collided inadvertently, and suddenly they had a flash of inspiration, and shouted in unison: "Taking a concubine!"
Xie Shouzheng was still a little confused: "What do you mean?"
Dongfang Yan told Xie Shouzheng about what he had learned from the old lady before, and said: "Judging from the clues provided by the old lady, the families who had accidents before were actually not getting married properly, but taking concubines!"
Lin Qingyue also nodded in approval: "The custom of taking concubines here is all done at night, so everyone didn't understand, and thought it was a problem of time, without thinking of the problem of taking concubines!"
Xie Shouzheng couldn't help but laugh or cry: "So, the evil spirit can't stand people taking concubines?"
He asked Hong Yao: "Could it be that the other party is like you, having suffered betrayal by a lover? Born with jealousy?"
Hong Yao said coldly: "I am not jealous, just pure hatred."
Xie Shouzheng said: "That's true."
Hong Yao said again: "By the way, I just heard someone say that a jade boss in the North Street of Yushi Zhen is taking a concubine today. In order to avoid risks, he welcomed the newcomer home early in the morning."
Xie Shouzheng hurriedly said: "No time to lose, let's go to North Street and see!"
At this moment, the sky was still early, and there were still many shops with lights on. After asking a little, they knew that the boss of the white jade jewelry shop who was taking a concubine this morning was called: Li Datou.
Li Datou's house had a layout of a shop in front and a house in the back.
The three bright shop fronts in the front were lined up, and the red silk on the plaque of "Li Family Jade" was fluttering. There were firecracker fragments and nitrate scattered all over the ground in front of the door, still stained with the joy that had not faded.
The boss's wife was cleaning up, preparing to tidy up and close the shop.
Suddenly seeing a few guests coming, the boss's wife hurriedly came to entertain.
Lin Qingyue pulled Hong Yao, pretending to pick jewelry, and asked casually: "Looking at the joy at your door, is there a happy event?"
"There is a happy event, my husband is taking a concubine." The woman's eyes were dim, and her tone was not as cheerful as before.
Hong Yao couldn't help but ask a few more words: "Looking at you, you are not happy. Why did you agree to your husband taking a concubine?"
"What's the use of me not being happy?" The boss's wife sighed.
"I married him as a wife when he was poor, and gave birth to his children, but as soon as he had money, the first thing he wanted was to take a concubine. If we women dare to say more, we will be labeled as jealous women."
Perhaps because she was asked about her sad things, the boss's wife said a lot more: "This world is really unfair, women must follow the three obediences and four virtues, but men can have three wives and four concubines, taking all the advantages!"
Hong Yao asked again: "I heard that families in your town who take concubines will attract evil spirits. Aren't you afraid?"
The boss's wife said: "Of course I'm afraid! But what's the use of me being afraid alone? The word 'color' is a knife. Especially my husband, he has saved some family wealth in the past two years, and he is floating."
"Knowing that there are evil spirits making trouble, I also advised him for many days, but he only took my good words as jealousy and didn't listen at all. He even said that he had inquired carefully, and it didn't matter if the ceremony was held before noon."
"Sometimes I hate it, it's better to let that evil spirit cure him well!"
A flash of narrow smile flashed in Lin Qingyue's eyes: "Then you will get your wish tonight."
The boss's wife didn't understand: "What do you mean?"
Just as she was speaking, a scream tore through the night sky of the back house.
The faces of several people changed slightly, and without waiting for the clerk to say more, they rushed to the back house.
Then they saw a middle-aged man running out from inside without pants, shouting in a panic:
"There's an evil spirit, there's an evil spirit!"
The boss's wife, who had been counting on her husband just now, rushed over to ask: "Husband, what's wrong?"
When the boss's wife's gaze fell below the man's body, she screamed in surprise: "Ah!"
The man's lower body was all blood, and the most important thing on a man's body was gone, leaving only a bloody mess.
The man was in so much pain that he couldn't stand, sitting on the ground, and the blood flowed all over the floor instantly.
He pointed tremblingly at the door in front: "She, she, she wants to kill me!"
Following the direction of his finger, she saw a new bride wearing a pink wedding dress slowly walking out of the dim room, dragging a long shadow behind her.
The woman walked out of the room, walking towards the man step by step. There was a strange smile on the corner of her mouth, and the scissors in her hand were stained with blood.
"Husband, why did you run away? Didn't you say you like my youth and beauty? Husband, hurry and go to the bridal chamber with me!"
"This woman is crazy, she, she, she just cut off my life root! Woo woo... I can't be a man anymore!"
The man covered the root of his thigh in embarrassment, trembling all over with pain. But what hurt more was his heart. Without the life root, he couldn't be a man, so how could he live the rest of his life?
If he had known that taking a concubine would bring such a great disaster, he would rather have lived a peaceful life with his old wife at home!
The wife was angry, furious, and distressed: "Told you not to take a concubine, you didn't listen! Now it's good, something happened, right? Oh, what should we do? Husband, you can't die, if you die, what will happen to me and the babies?"
Blood loss and shock, the man finally couldn't hold on anymore and fainted.
The other party refused to let him go, roaring ferociously: "Didn't you like three wives and four concubines? Didn't you want a bridal chamber? Go, get up, let's go to the bridal chamber, hehe... bridal chamber!"
What she said was bridal chamber, but the scissors in her hand were raised high and stabbed fiercely at the man.
