The team welcoming the bride soon arrived outside the inn.

Amidst the sound of firecrackers, the door of the inn slowly opened.

Because of the angle, I could only see the pale light coming from the inn, but no shadow. Apparently no one was there to greet me.

The groom at the front walked into the inn to the sound of firecrackers, followed by a procession to welcome the bride.

Soon, a voice appeared in the inn.

The music was getting louder and louder, but strangely no one could be heard speaking.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, at my request, no one looked out through the crack in the door.

The sound rang for a while, then started to move again, and soon appeared outside the inn.

As the sound of joy faded away, we all had blank expressions on our faces.

"This...master, are you leaving now?"

I don't know who asked, so I nodded subconsciously to recover from the surprise.

Originally, in all of our minds, the danger this time would come from this strange team, but what we didn't expect was that this team that was welcoming the bride so late at night would just leave with the sedan chair.

He left without leaving any trace.

Judging from the current situation, we have indeed made a mistake. This wedding reception may be just one of the many strange things in this town, reminding us of the danger of the town.

However, what we thought was over gave us another surprise at dawn.

Looking at the stack of white invitations in our hands, we had to overturn our conclusion from last night again.

This is the wedding invitation, with all of our names on it, one for each of us.

We are invited to attend the wedding at Wu Zhai on the east side of the town at 11 o'clock tonight.

If nothing else, the people getting married should be the team that welcomed the bride last night.

It’s just that we have been here less than a day, is it necessary to come so steeply?

Zhao Qing avoided the invitation: "Are we going tonight? We only need to survive seven days. There is no need to take risks. We can just hide here for seven days."

She expressed what most people wanted to say: no one wanted to attend this weird wedding.

I thought about it, shook my head and said, "It's better to go there. Many times, in order to avoid risks, you will put yourself into greater risks."

Some people want to refute, but don't dare to say it.

I glanced at Ma Feifei and continued: "I will go to the stepping point in advance later. You guys should wait for me here, or go to other places to check."

"I'll follow you."

"I'm with you."

Xie Juan and Sun Mingyi spoke almost at the same time. After looking at each other, they both looked at me firmly.

These are the two most courageous of all people, especially Sun Mingyi. If a ghost appeared in front of him, he would probably be too weak to even have the strength to escape.

It is the best choice for them to follow me.

"Okay," I nodded: "You two follow me. Zhao Qing, Ma Feifei, you two just wander around the town to see if you can find any useful information."

Zhao Qing hesitated, but Ma Feifei nodded directly in agreement.

After making a decision, we ate something casually in the inn and then split up.

Wu's house is located in the easternmost part of the town. The house is much larger than other houses in the town.

Although there is a wedding tonight, the door of the entire Wu residence is closed, no one moves around, and no sound can be heard.

It’s just that the whole house is hung with happy characters and various decorations. If the white is replaced by red, it will look very harmonious.

I glanced around and pointed to the hillside on one side: "Let's climb up there. It's so high up there that we can see inside Wu's house."

The hillside is not big, and from a distance you can only see a patch of green. But when you get to the hillside, you find that it is not as beautiful as it looks.

The former greenness was only because of the tall trees here, and it was precisely because of the tall trees that they blocked the sunlight, making the entire hillside look very eerie.

What's even more terrifying is that at a glance, the entire hillside is covered with endless graveyards, and ceramic jars of different sizes are placed on both sides of the only road.

Xie Juan and Sun Mingyi were just frightened by the graves. They had no idea that those ceramic jars were not ordinary ceramic jars, but a different kind of burial.

In each ceramic jar, there is a curled up corpse.

Urn and coffin burial!

It's just that the urn coffin burials here are different from the urn coffin burials specially used for burying children. The urn coffins here are placed on the roadside and are not buried.

This practice is usually used to bury those who died in a foreign land.

There are no relatives to collect the bones, so the locals use the cheapest clay pots to roll the corpse into it. In order to save energy and make it easier for the deceased's relatives to find and move the grave one day, they will not bury it.

It's just that the number of urns and coffins here exceeds my imagination. Just standing at the foot of the hillside, you can see no less than a hundred.

"There are so many, they are not just for burying people like us."

I whispered something.

Xie Juan, who was beside her, didn't hear clearly and asked: "What?"

"nothing?"

"Oh." Xie Juan said with fear on her face: "Are we really going up?"

"It's best to go up and take a look, but in addition to observing Wu's residence, you also have to take a look here. This place is too close to Wu's residence."

"Me, how about Sun Mingyi and I wait for you here?"

After Xie Juan finished speaking, she felt a little uneasy.

Sun Mingyi, whose face had already turned pale, said hurriedly: "That's right, we can just wait for you here."

I thought about it and didn't make it difficult for them.

If there are any problems on this hillside, I may not be able to take care of them.

Not going up is the best option.

"Okay, you wait for me here." I pointed to a place without trees: "You are right there, so I can see you on the hillside."

After saying that, I walked towards the hillside.

The trees on the hillside should be deliberately planted and only grow on the hillside.

As soon as we entered the area of ​​the hillside, the light became much dimmer.

There is no sunlight for a long time, and there are still some undisappeared footprints on some muddy roads, all of which are bare feet.

"Strange, do you need to take off your shoes to enter here?"

Of course I wouldn't take off my shoes, but I didn't step on those footprints, but deliberately avoided them.

Along the path, winding upwards, there are densely packed urns and coffins on the roadside, some large and some small, but they are all well preserved and not damaged, nor as I feared. A hand is stretched out here, a foot is stretched out there.

.

On the contrary, the earthen tomb outside the urn coffin is not as complete as the urn coffin.

Many graves can only be seen with slight ups and downs, and have lost the appearance of grave mounds. Some have even been directly dug up, revealing the rotten coffins inside.

The excavated soil was covered on the grave mound not far away.

This practice is very strange. Generally speaking, digging soil from other people's soil is a big taboo. Not only is it easy to attract evil spirits, but it is also not good for the owner of the tomb.

But when I think about the wedding here, I kind of understand.

Everything is the opposite.
