The candle flames flickered and the wedding dresses danced lightly.

Luo Shiqin was submerged in the waves of red clothes, staring blankly at the ghost bride passing by her.

Like Ma Niang who had confronted them earlier, their faces were covered by red and white veils, and their figures, some tall, some short, some fat, some thin, were all hidden under the wedding dress.

It is like a dodder imprisoned in a wedding dress, or like a wild daisy about to break free from all restraints.

The girls stretched out their arms, lifted the heavy wedding dress high up, and then gently placed it on the ghost bride who was hung by the hemp rope.

The white fingers grabbed the rough hemp rope, and the ghost bride held her in it, pulling and tearing it, vowing to break the rope that imprisoned her.

"Afang...good Afang..."

The soft and hollow sound echoed in this medium-sized space, and the roof without tiles was glowing with light.

They held Ma Niang's hand, wiped away the remaining blood on her knuckles, and slowly untied the thick hemp rope that had tied her knuckles black.

"Okay, Afang, don't do it..."

They affectionately called Ma Niang, who had once felt she had been reborn, and surrounded her, crying, "Good Ah Fang, wake up soon..."

Wake up, wake up.

Don't point the blade of your own sword at your past self.

"Idiot!"

"Stupid bride!"

The paper figures screamed and pulled at the hemp ropes in their hands, their kind faces turning into resentment again. They shouted left and right, and threw more hemp ropes from the darkness, tying them around the necks of the stupid brides in their eyes!

The red and white veil was pulled off by the huge force, revealing the true appearance of the ghost bride.

Like Ma Niang who was hung, each of them had their mouths sewn shut and long nails were nailed into their collarbones and chests.

But there was only a pair of eyes, a pair of eyes that should have been stained with blood, at this moment they were no different from those of ordinary people, and even burst out with dazzling light.

They stared at the trapped Ma Niang, ignoring the ropes that had caught them, and moved closer and closer to her.

The young ghost bride whispered in the ear of the desperate and weeping Ma Niang: "Listen, Afang is such a good name."

The older ghost bride stroked her hair and said softly, "Look, Ah Fang has such a beautiful face."

They gathered around her and told her:

"Look, Ah Fang has such a passionate heart that refuses to be mediocre."

"Afang, Afang,"

"Are you willing to become a sharp blade in the hands of your enemy, pointed at your former self?"

The hung ghost bride twitched the corners of her mouth, and large pools of black blood flowed from her seven orifices, gathering into a pool of blood on the ground.

She finally spoke, and put her hand on the nail on her chest, sobbing and wailing, with every word dripping with blood:

"I don't want to...I don't want to!"

I moved into a wealthy family's mansion, where the ladies taught me to read and said I had talent and that they would send me to school and take over the housekeeper's business.

I study hard, study hard!

Girls younger than her from the same village were drowned, and those who survived were sent to other villages.

I am short-sighted—but I don’t want that kind of life!

It's such a sad life that you can see the end at a glance!!

What is a submissive woman beside her husband?

I don’t want to be one!

What I want is to go higher and higher!!

I want to escape! Escape somewhere else! Escape to a higher place!!

My life is like all the stubborn weeds in the world - if you give me some water, I will bloom brilliantly; if you give me sunshine, I will naturally blossom like a brocade!

Maybe one day, I will climb to the highest point and bloom the most beautiful flowers in the world!!

If only one day, if only one day——!!

Ma Niang screamed and pressed her hand against her head, her sharp black, maggoty nails digging into the rotten flesh on her forehead.

Her eyes gradually changed from despair to hatred, and then to flames that could set the whole field ablaze.

If I didn't have that day...

And I will never let the girls behind me...

Go through this experience again!!!

"Mad!"

The squeaking paper figures stepped back in shock, watching the uncontrollable hemp rope being torn apart by the Ghost Bride's tremendous force. The long rope was thrown into the sky, like a poisonous snake waiting for the next opportunity to tighten it.

"Mad woman!"

One of the tall paper figures glared and said, "You are the daughter-in-law of the Shao family!"

"You are Shao Jiazi's wife!"

"You should obey your parents and serve your husband for the rest of your life!"

"As it was in life, so it will be in death!"

"Do you still remember that you were arranged to have a ghost marriage with the Shao family?!"

The ghost brides all turned their heads, their dark pupils almost swallowing up the paper man who was speaking.

Under the gaze of the paper-eating man, its originally confident voice gradually turned into a stuttering voice:

"You, you...your parents accepted ten taels of silver from us! You should be the wife of our Shao family!"

Ridiculous, so ridiculous.

The daughter she gave birth to, the daughter who worked hard and never complained during her lifetime, the daughter who was obedient and filial, was only worth those ten taels of silver.

Ma Niang raised her head: "Really..."

"Then I'll give you ten taels of silver," she said, not caring about sewing, and pulling up the corners of her mouth with a sly smile, "How about you be the bride?"

There were chuckles all around.

"How about I draw your eyebrows and you be my bride?"

"I'll give you a veil, how about you be my bride?"

"I will take you to the sedan chair, how about you be my bride?"

"Suffer my pain, feel my pain—"

The ghost bride laughed and said, "It's only ten taels of silver."

Paper Figure: "Stop them! Stop them!"

The hemp rope waving in the air seemed to respond to what it said and once again wrapped around the ghost bride's body.

Neck, arms, spine, legs...

Just like entangled with a disobedient puppet, tie them up in all the places that can restrain them!

The enraged ghost brides roared once more, and stretched out their arms towards the paper figures around them in the spider-web-like restraints.

However, just a little bit, just a little bit!

The black nails almost pierced through the darkness, but they finally stopped here - no.

There was a flash of lightning in the sky, thunder roared, and a howling wind rushed in through the big hole in the roof. The howling sound was even more frightening than that of a ghost bride.

"I told you, the climax of the story hasn't even begun yet."

Luo Shiqin, who had been pushed back by the ghost bride and hidden in the darkness, took a step forward with a thick stack of yellow talismans sandwiched between her fingers.

She smiled and said, "The fun has just begun."

The fierce wind that blew down from the sky roared and rolled up the yellow talisman between her fingers. The next moment, countless white clouds gathered in the sky, swallowing up almost half of the darkness.

On the leaky roof, the wind was howling violently, and a storm was about to come.

Beneath the tiles, thunderclouds gathered and lightning flashed.

The small thunderclouds cheered, dispersed at Luo Shiqin's signal, and then covered the hemp ropes wrapped around the ghost bride.

Almost in the next second, the smell of burning spread throughout the space.

The little thundercloud moved away contentedly, looking for the next rope, but the place it had covered before was no longer covered with the rough hemp rope.

The burning smell in the air became stronger and stronger.

The hand that was closest to the paper figure in the front suddenly stretched forward and pierced straight into the pale paper.

The paper man screamed, covered his face, stepped back, and screamed, "My face!!"

On the white paper whose expression kept changing, the large hole visible to the naked eye revealed the emptiness inside.

It is the first, but not the last.

All around, the untied ghost brides laughed evilly and cut the necks and limbs of the paper figures with their bloody hands!

It was a massacre.

...is also a release that cannot be undone.

Luo Shiqin's heart rate was very high, but she just smiled faintly and looked at everything in front of her.

What was killed were not living people, but just some worn-out, blackened and yellowed pieces of paper.

Suddenly her right arm was pulled, and Luo Shiqin subconsciously looked to the side.

"Senior sister is so awesome!" The younger school girl's face was pale, but her eyes were sparkling. Yu Yu praised her without hiding her feelings, "She is worthy of being a senior sister!"

She turned her head and looked at the battlefield where the ghost bride was laughing and tearing the paper figures apart. She paused, then said firmly: "They are also very powerful!"

"Thanks to you." Luo Shiqin raised her hand and rubbed her head, "Thank you for saving me."

Yu Yu: “That’s a must!”

She patted Luo Shiqin on the shoulder and said seriously: "Because we are not only seniors and juniors, but also comrades with a common goal!"

Luo Shiqin: …

Red. Too red.

"Yuyu, Luo Shiqin!"

Yun Yuer nimbly dodged the half-torn paper man from the darkness and jumped in front of them in two or three steps, with a worried look on her face: "Are you all right?"

She had tried to untie the ghost bride's ropes, but nothing could do it, whether it was a kitchen knife or the flames of the candlesticks.

Fortunately, her trial and error allowed Luo Shiqin to instantly lock onto the large amount of talismans she had left on Yu Yu. As expected, this action ultimately achieved very good results.

The two shook their heads to indicate that they were fine.

But Yun Yu'er's frown did not relax. She first looked up at the sky, then looked at them and said sternly, "You have to leave."

Yu Yu was at a loss: "What?"

"Leave here." Yun Yuer said quickly, "Today is almost over. Although you have participated in a ghost marriage, the bride who was originally nailed into the coffin has disappeared, and this spliced ​​space will also be broken."

"You have to go back."

"Back to where?" Yu Yu hesitated, "This is Shaojia Village from 40 or 50 years ago. We don't even know this place. Not to mention escaping to a safe place."

Luo Shiqin suddenly said: "No, think carefully, there is a safest place."

Yu Yu's eyes widened and he exclaimed in surprise: "Old house!"

"That's right!" Luo Shiqin nodded and quickly analyzed, "This space is made up of pieces. There is the Shaojia Village from forty or fifty years ago, and there are also old houses that exist in reality today. That's where we are going."

Yun Yuer exclaimed: "Yes!"

She glanced left and right, then nimbly dodged the body of the ghost bride chasing the paper man, and trotted to the door that had been sealed by the paper man before - the red and white satin-decorated coffin where Luo Shiqin was lying before was carried in from here.

“Bang! Bang!”

Yun Yuer raised her foot and kicked it hard twice. The vermilion wooden door loosened a little, but it was still closed.

“Let me do it!!”

A scream came from behind her, and Yun Yuer subconsciously turned sideways. Then a gust of wind mixed with the sound of breaking through the air hit the wooden door behind her.

Yu Yu punched through the door, then reached out to feel around and quickly lifted the crossbar.

The wooden door with a big hole in it swung open.

Yun Yuer: ...

There was confusion and fear in her eyes when she looked at Yu Yu, but it finally turned into relief.

"Then, the next step is the journey home."

Yun Yuer took a few steps towards the door. She sighed and looked at Yu Yu with a look of complexity and relief that the little school girl could not quite understand.

"Let's keep running forward with our hope - until we get home."

Outside the house, there were weeds and thorns everywhere.

Yun Yuer looked out the door, calmly but firmly:

"Don't worry, we will clear the way."

There will be more chapters! But I'm too tired today to write any more QWQ. There will be more chapters before noon tomorrow morning. One hundred red envelopes will be dropped for this chapter. My dears, please read it tomorrow morning~
