Chapter 233 Funeral and Wedding
When Liu Qingyan heard her heart-wrenching cry, his face darkened immediately. "Isn't I your husband? What kind of weirdo are you mourning for?"
Jiang Nanxi paused in her sobbing, rested her head on the ground, and whispered to her phone, "An old man died in this village, and the mourning hall has been set up for several months without a burial.
It is said that women who mourn for him will suffer accidents and die mysteriously. Leng Huaixin asked me to come over and see what is going on!
Liu Qingyan said coldly, "Send me the address!"
Jiang Nanxi: "Why would they send you? You can't come to mourn. They only want women."
Liu Qingyan: "Send it to me!"
Jiang Nanxi: "Tell the director I'm taking a day off tonight and won't be recording yet. I'll come back tomorrow. Don't come. I'll pack you some food when I get home."
Liu Qingyan: "Send it to me!"
Jiang Nanxi: "Where's your tape recorder?"
Liu Qingyan: "I'll use my bulldozer to crush this old man to death!"
Jiang Nanxi: ???
At Liu Qingyan's strong request, Jiang Nanxi sent the address to Liu Qingyan.
Liu Qingyan asked for leave from the director, and then went to the village on the west side of the island to find Jiang Nanxi.
He wants to scatter the ashes of that dead old man!
Jiang Nanxi continued to cry. The first round of crying was over, but they had to wait until twelve o'clock in the evening before they could have dinner.
It’s called dinner, but it’s actually a midnight snack.
After she finished crying, she squatted outside the yard and chatted with Leng Huaixin, "How can a banquet start at midnight? This old man's funeral took several months to complete. There's obviously something wrong."
However, there was one advantage for her.
That's because she just cried to help digest the food, and when she gets hungry at night, she can have a midnight snack!
"It's not just a problem, it's a huge problem!"
Leng Huaixin said, "During this period, they have recruited many outsiders to mourn, both men and women. It is said that the old man had no children, but he liked the hustle and bustle, so he sought out people to mourn and bid farewell.
But the strange thing is, all the men who came to mourn were fine, but the women all died mysteriously! So far, more than ten people have died!"
"so much?"
"Yeah, so that's why we caught the attention of the Psionic Bureau and came to the island to investigate!"
Jiang Nanxi touched his chin and asked, "Did they all die in the yard? Or did they die at home?"
"Go back and die. If you die in the yard, no one will come here."
"That's true."
As the two were squatting at the door discussing, they saw a young girl walking towards them.
There was someone guarding the gate of the yard. The girl came over and asked, "Is it free to eat here? I haven't eaten for three days. Can you let me in to eat something?"
"OK."
The villager replied, "But if you want to eat, you have to mourn for the old man, and then wait until midnight for the feast to begin before you can eat."
"Okay, okay!" the girl said excitedly, "Then I'll go in and mourn for the old man right now!"
Just as the villagers were about to let her in, Jiang Nanxi came over and pulled the girl away.
Leng Huaixin also came over and said, "Girl, this family is a bit weird. Don't eat here. It's better to go back to your own home to eat!"
The girl frowned and thought, "But...but I had a fight with my mother, and she won't give me any food. I haven't eaten for three days."
The girl looked young and only in high school, so Leng Huaixin advised her, "Go back and admit your mistake to her. After all, she is your biological mother. She can't just watch you starve to death.
You can eat here for free, but it’s life-threatening. If something goes wrong later, it will be terrible!"
"She's not my mother! She hasn't let me eat for three days!" the girl complained. "I've already made up my mind. After I eat my fill here today, I'll run away from the island and find work!"
Jiang Nanxi asked, "Why doesn't your mother give you food?"
The girl pouted and said, "I didn't want to go to school, but she forced me to go. I didn't go to school for a week, and she said she would starve me to death if I didn't go to school."
Jiang Nanxi asked again, "You're only in high school at this age, right? What are you doing if you don't go to school?"
The girl said, "I want to get married, to a rich man who can spend all his money on me, so that I don't have to go to school or work."
Leng Huaixin couldn't help but say, "Little girl, your thinking is wrong. No one wants to give money to others casually. It's not easy to be a housewife at home. You have to look up to others when you take money."
"But I have a classmate who dropped out of school, and her family found her a marriage, and her husband's family is very rich.
After she got married, she lived in a big villa and drove a luxury car. She could buy whatever she wanted every day. When I wanted some pocket money to buy stickers at home, my mom wouldn't give me any!"
Jiang Nanxi complained, "If you don't go to school and run away from home now, you won't be able to marry a rich man."
The girl said, "I'll go out and work to support myself. I'll always find a chance to marry a rich man."
Jiang Nanxi continued, "What if the rich man is ugly, fat, and old? Would you still marry him?"
Although she also likes rich people, every time she sees the ugly faces of some rich people, Jiang Nanxi suddenly realizes that she still has a bottom line.
She really can't accept ugliness!
The girl was also in hesitation.
At this time, the villager who was guarding the gate came over and said dissatisfiedly, "What are you two talking about? She just wants to have a free meal, why are you stopping her?
The old man of the Xu family loved doing good deeds when he was alive. He would be happy to have more people come to his wedding. You two should stop making trouble and leave immediately!
After the villager finished speaking, he grabbed the girl and dragged her into the yard, saying, "Come in and cry. Kneel down in the mourning hall and you can cry. When you're done crying, wait in the yard. Dinner will be served to you at twelve o'clock sharp!"
"Okay, I'll go right away!"
Leng Huaixin saw it outside the yard and was about to go in to stop the girl from crying, but Jiang Nanxi stopped him.
Jiang Nanxi said, "Don't go. That child isn't very smart. Let her suffer a little so she can understand how happy studying is."
"What's the meaning?"
Leng Huaixin was a little confused. "This doesn't seem like suffering, right? This is a matter of life and death. Although the things in this girl's mind are not normal, it is still a human life."
Jiang Nanxi grinned, "Doesn't she want to get married? We can let her marry a rich old man tonight."
"Where is the rich old man who will marry her?"
Jiang Nanxi nodded in the direction of the mourning hall, "Isn't there one? It is said that the old man of the Xu family was doing business outside the island when he was alive. His family was quite wealthy, so his treatment after his death must be good!"
Leng Huaixin paused, and suddenly thought of what the villager guarding the gate had said just now.
"The old man of the Xu family loved doing good deeds when he was alive. He would be happy to have more people come to his wedding."
He was talking about a wedding banquet, not a funeral banquet!
Why a wedding banquet?
A while ago, the only people who came here to mourn were women, all of whom were dead. Could it be related to this wedding banquet?!
"Could it be the old man's ghost marriage?!"
Leng Huaixin said in shock.
After the words fell, Jiang Nanxi was about to reply, but suddenly heard a malicious voice coming from beside him.
