“Tut, tut, tut—”

“Wuwu, ahwu, ahwu—”

When the festive yet strange suona sounded, the faces of the three people in the living room all changed.

Luo Shiqin took a few steps to the repaired paper-pasted window and looked out through the blurry frosted glass next to it.

I don't know when the originally empty courtyard was filled with things, but because of the matte quality of the picture, it is difficult to see clearly.

Yu Yu listened to the piercing sound of the suona and gradually became dazed. He unconsciously walked to the closed wooden door and raised his hand.

"Yu Yu!"

A hand pressed on hers, and Yun Yuer shouted angrily, "You can't open it!"

The music played by the suona outside the house became increasingly louder and more continuous.

The little schoolgirl's eyes were briefly clear, but soon fell into confusion again.

'Auspicious day——'

"A perfect match made in heaven—"

The fragmentary voices kept echoing in Yu Yu's ears. She was dazed, and the corners of her mouth seemed to be hanging by something and kept rising.

"Getting married..."

The girl smiled and said with a stunned look in her eyes: "I'm getting married..."

"I'm getting married!!"

She shook off Yun Yuer's hand and grabbed the wooden door handle, trying to open it wide in the next second.

"Bang!"

Luo Shiqin kicked the door, shutting the slightly open antique red wooden door again, and grabbed the suddenly crazy little school girl with one hand and dragged her away from the door.

"Let go! Let me go!"

The girl who was pinned to the ground by Luo Shiqin laughed and suddenly yelled, "I'm getting married! I'm getting married, hahahaha!!"

For a moment, the sound of suona and the sounds of joy intertwined together, stimulating the eardrums of all the people and ghosts present all the time.

The wooden door won't open and the suona won't stop.

Hearing this sound, Luo Shiqin wanted to summon thunder to strike down those evil creatures outside the door!

However, the school girl who seemed to be possessed by evil spirits was restless and kept clamoring to get married. She could only put her hands tightly on Yu Yu's arms to suppress her.

Luo Shiqin: …

Let you marry a ghost?

Isn't this a stack of debuffs?

She reached out and took off the little thundercloud on her head, then pressed it on the little schoolgirl's face and said expressionlessly, "Be quiet."

Yu Yu: “Mmmmmmm—”

The white cloud covering her face continued to expand, and soon Yu Yu was trapped in it, making her unable to move.

“There’s really nothing I can do.”

The girl sighed, then stood up and said sideways, "You did it, didn't you?"

Yun Yuer was shocked: "What? Me?"

Luo Shiqin: "...It's not grandma," she pointed to the door leading to the kitchen from the living room and said slowly, "It's her."

The wooden door between the living room and the kitchen was slowly opened. At some point, the suona sounds outside the house disappeared completely, and the sound of the wooden door being slowly pushed open echoed throughout the room.

When it was completely opened, except for Yu Yu who was in a state of hallucination and madness, Yun Yuer and Luo Shiqin saw the woman in a wedding dress hanging in the air, and a pair of bright red embroidered shoes.

The embroidered cloth shoes swung back and forth, and the ghost bride hanging on the kitchen door let out an eerie laugh.

Suddenly, the long rope hanging around its neck loosened, and the entire ghost bride appeared completely in front of the man and the ghost.

"The new bride...the ghost bride..."

A harsh and vague voice echoed in the living room, and the ghost bride raised her arm and pointed at Yu Yu who was forced to lie on the ground.

"—she is the next bride."

"BOOM!!!"

There was a sudden flash of lightning outside the house, and the sky was instantly filled with dark clouds. Although there was only thunder but no rain, it looked like a storm was about to come.

The room was illuminated by a flash of white light from outside, and when Yu Yu regained consciousness, everything returned to normal.

Senior Luo was standing by the window, holding two or three pieces of yellow talisman paper in her hands. She was now looking down in deep thought.

Yun Yu'er was squatting down, looking anxious: "Yu...are you, are you okay? Are you okay?"

Yu Yu was helped up by Xiao Leiyun in a daze. He stood there for a while before he slowly remembered what had just happened.

"What happened?" She asked hesitantly, "I just heard the sound of the suona and then... I seemed to pass out?"

"Did you faint?" Senior Luo put away the talisman and smiled helplessly, "You were just crying and shouting that you wanted to get married."

Yu Yu was shocked: "What?! Am I possessed?!"

Yun Yuer patted her on the back and shook her head: "Maybe it was the sound of the suona that affected her."

She hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Luo Shiqin standing by the window: "Who are you?"

"Um?"

"You just used that," she pointed at Luo Shiqin's pocket, looking confused, "and used those pieces of paper to fight off Ma Niang. So who are you?"

It’s the senior again!

Recalling the series of actions that Senior Sister Luo had taken, Yu Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said first: "Senior Sister is an intern from the underworld!"

Yun Yuer: "Underworld...Intern?"

She didn't seem to understand this.

Luo Shiqin thought for a moment and explained, "Just think of yourself as the Black and White Impermanence who lost their jobs and got a new job. I am now the diplomat who connects the underground and the aboveground."

She looked at Yu Yu and said, "I'm not an intern anymore. I just received a message in the car." Luo Shiqin shook the screen of her mobile phone and said naturally, "I've been hired as a full-time employee."

When you are outside the world, your identity is given by yourself.

Life book! I am no longer an intern!

Yun Yuer:?

Yun Yuer: "So, the one who manages ghosts?"

Luo Shiqin: "...You can think that way."

Anyway, she is the only one in charge of the underworld she created.

Yun Yuer suddenly realized, and then her expression became complicated again.

Luo Shiqin knew what she was thinking of.

At around five o'clock this morning, she got up early and prepared to visit this place.

The little school girl was sleeping very soundly. She called her two or three times but she still didn't wake up. She guessed that she had been scared too many times in the past few days and was too mentally exhausted.

After leaving Xiao Leiyun to protect her schoolmate, Luo Shiqin set out on the journey of searching for information alone.

Her first stop was the place where Yun Yuer, the girl without a life book whom she met last night, lived.

Why would a living thing not have a book of life?

Why does this situation exist?

Luo Shiqin thought of many possibilities.

In Seeking Fate and Asking the Way, Qu Zhiwei's bone-cast sword can also reveal the title of the book of life. Other living people also have the book of life on their heads, and Luo Shiqin has never seen Yun Yuer in this situation.

Until at the end of the village, she found the home of the so-called "Yun Yu'er".

It was too desolate there, with no houses for people to live in. There were only countless mounds of earth, like endless hills.

The girl she met last night had her back to her, holding a bunch of wild chrysanthemums that she had picked from somewhere.

Yun Yuer placed the wild daisies on the mound one by one, then turned around. When she saw Luo Shiqin, she was stunned for a moment, then smiled with a kind look in her eyes.

"Hello, Luo Shiqin."

Luo Shiqin calmly pinched the talisman in her sleeve and said, "Hello."

"I think you should have guessed it," Yun Yuer said, "I am not a living person."

The girl in front of her looked at her carefully, and then confirmed her guess.

"I know."

Yun Yuer: "The place you are in now was actually created by a group of ghosts."

"I know."

Yun Yuer: "A ghost marriage is going to be held here, a ghost marriage between a living person and a dead person."

"...I know." Luo Shiqin whispered, "Is it Yu Yu?"

Yun Yuer: "It's not just her." She turned around and pointed to the large mound of earth in front of her, and said in a deep tone, "It's theirs."

"Without Yubao, other girls would be dragged into this," Yun Yuer's voice became particularly ethereal, as if it came from far away, "I don't want to see such a thing."

She suddenly laughed: "Maybe it's because of this that I woke up."

"You know Yu Yu."

Without the spoilers of the book of life, Luo Shiqin could only guess from the clues, "You are familiar with her, but not just as familiar as ordinary friends."

"--that road," she said suddenly, "the road you took us on last night. You are very familiar with it."

Yun Yuer: “Yeah.”

She did not refute and turned to look at the senior student that Yu Yu was talking about.

She was very young, with a pair of bright eyes. Her relaxed attitude and calm demeanor made Yun Yuer admire her.

"My name is Zao Wuyun, and I'm Yu Yu's grandmother," she explained softly. "Because I'm good at swimming, people in my village also call me Yun Yu'er."

"I don't quite remember how I died," she said bitterly, "I only remember that Yubao was only in the third grade of junior high school at the time. When I woke up and saw her again, she was already this big."

Yun Yuer laughed and said, "I have become very young too - will everyone become this young after death?"

The girl in front of me didn't respond.

Yun Yu'er didn't care too much and continued to laugh, "You are very brave, unlike Yubao. She was afraid of the dark when she was a child and didn't dare to walk alone at night. She said she was afraid of ghosts coming to catch her."

"If possible, please don't tell Yubao who I am." Yun Yuer smiled and said sadly.

"She is most afraid of ghosts."

"My senior has been promoted to a full-time employee," Yu Yu stroked his chin and thought, then suddenly realized, "which means we can get rid of these ghosts now!"

Luo Shiqin woke up from her memories, and the corner of her mouth twitched imperceptibly when she heard these words.

"Those paper figures are afraid of fire." She waved her right hand, and a yellow talisman with the words 'Five Thunders Bombarding the Top' appeared in her hand. "Heavenly fire is the best punishment for them."

Although Ma Niang is not a paper figure, she looks like she is quite afraid of being struck by lightning.

Luo Shiqin's previous move not only scared away the ghost bride who wanted to arrange a ghost marriage for Yu Yu, but also chopped away a group of paper figures carrying betrothal gifts outside the door.

"Then can we chop it back?!" Yu Yu's eyes lit up, and he was obviously very interested in leaving this damn place.

Luo Shiqin threw up her hands: "Absolutely not."

Yun Yuer frowned: "No."

Yu Yu looked at this, then looked at that: "Why?"

"I used the little thundercloud to shock Ma Niang before," Luo Shiqin said, "but you know, it still came to you."

Yun Yuer said: "If the ghost marriage cannot be completed, you can't leave this place."

Yu Yu was devastated: "What the hell! Forced sale?!"

She looked at Yun Yuer, frustrated and angry: "Then who are you?!"

Why does Yun Yu'er seem so strange? When I asked her before, she was fooled and perfunctorily dealt with. Yu Yu will never let this happen again!

Luo Shiqin: “She——”

"I was actually a ghost marriage bride," Yun Yuer suddenly said, "Of course, it didn't work."

Luo Shiqin:?

Good guy, there is a story? ?

"When I was about 18, I went on a trip with my friends..."

Next, Yun Yuer told a story about a female college student who was kidnapped while traveling, had a high fever during the trip, and was sold to someone for a ghost marriage.

"But I was lucky. I happened to be in that area when there was a crackdown on human trafficking. It was the police and journalists who worked together to rescue the group of people we had just been kidnapped."

"Later I found out that many girls had been abducted there."

"What's frustrating is that the people in Shaojia Village look down on families with daughters, and those who do choose to drown their daughters. When their sons need wives, they kidnap young girls from outside to entertain them."

Yun Yuer narrated this past forged with blood and tears in a calm tone.

"I saw in the news that the first woman in Shaojia Village to be arranged to marry after death was Ma Niang."

Ma Niang was a woman who lived more than eighty years ago.

According to the village history, she was a woman sold to Shaojia Village from the neighboring village, but Ma Niang was not aware of the fact that she was sold.

"Maybe there was a famine that year? Anyway, Ma Niang was sent by her parents to work as a servant in a wealthy family, and she would give the little money she earned every month to her family."

The wealthy family was very generous. Even though Ma Niang was a servant, they treated her very well.

Even if Ma Niang worked hard to earn money for the family, it was still not as good as a sure sale.

She was tricked back home, tricked into wearing a wedding dress, tricked into getting on a sedan chair, and tricked into being put into a coffin.

He sewn his mouth shut and dared not tell King Yan.

Once you are nailed, you dare not be a fierce ghost.

After marrying the dead, the father-in-law strangled his daughter-in-law with a hemp rope and sent a forever obedient daughter-in-law to his son in the underworld.

Ma Niang became the first living person to be arranged for a ghost marriage, but not the last.

Many years later, Yun Yuer was abducted. If it weren't for those people's heroes, more girls would have had their mouths sewn up and nailed.

"Since he's already been caught," Yu Yu asked in disbelief, "why is there still one?"

Yun Yuer: "Because their brains," she raised her hand and tapped her forehead, "will always remember this, and will never forget it even if they die."

The victim is oppressed, and even if he wants to escape, he will be afraid of the pain he has suffered, and eventually become an accomplice of the abuser.

The perpetrators have long been trapped in the old rules, with their heads filled with “this is how it should be”.

In the silence, Luo Shiqin suddenly smiled. Looking at the two bewildered people, she said meaningfully:

"——What a coincidence. I'm good at breaking the so-called 'rules'."
