"A red hairpin?"
Qin Nuo looked at the object in his hand and pondered for a moment. In order to increase the excitement, a general haunted house would add some plot elements and would not just scare people.
I kept this red hairpin in my hand deliberately for myself, fearing that it would come in handy in the future.
Qin Nuo thought to himself and moved closer to check out the scroll that was rolling and unfolding in his hand.
Sure enough, there were some supernatural stories about ghost marriage scenes written on it.
According to legend, during the Republic of China period, a wealthy family in a certain town held a wedding, but on the night before the wedding, the groom suddenly died of a heart attack.
But according to some local customs, once the wedding date is set, it must go on no matter what happens, otherwise both families will suffer bad luck and the family will decline.
Of course the woman was unwilling. This was a forced marriage and an attempt to bring the two families together. She had never even seen what the groom looked like. Although both families were wealthy and well-matched, the woman was from a side branch and had a low status, so she had no say at all.
Late that night, the woman escaped but was caught again.
In order to prevent the bride from continuing to escape or doing any acts of resistance that would cause any consequences, the bride's family viciously smashed the bride's kneecaps, sealed her mouth, covered her with a red veil, and tied her hands and feet together and hid them under her sleeves.
At first glance, there seems to be no problem.
On the wedding day, the bride, with the help of her servants, completed the three bows to the dead groom and took a wedding photo.
That night, the bride and groom were sent to the bridal chamber. Outside the bridal chamber, there was a festive atmosphere with guests drinking and chatting happily, but inside the bridal chamber, there was a dead silence.
The groom's body is supported by a wooden stick, and the bride needs to spend a night with the dead person to complete the bridal chamber.
Late at night, the guests who had eaten and drunk their fill left one after another, and the courtyard gradually became deserted.
Inside the bridal chamber, the bride struggled, using a knife to cut the rope bit by bit, refusing to give up the idea of escaping. But at this moment, she suddenly heard the sound of wood breaking.
Covered by a red veil, she had no idea what was happening and thought it was an outsider coming in, so she stopped cutting the rope.
But the sound of wood continued for a long time and only quieted down after a while. The bride thought the intruder had left and was about to continue cutting the rope, but suddenly she saw a pair of shoes standing in front of her under her red veil.
Look closely, the black shoes are embroidered with golden patterns.
And these are the groom's shoes that only the groom will wear.
The bride felt a chill down her spine as she smelled the awful stench of a corpse. She tried to move, but couldn't. She wanted to scream for help, but her mouth was sealed.
The bride felt a weight on her shoulders, and then she heard a hoarse voice in her ear: "Wife...it's midnight, it's time for us to go to the bridal chamber."
That night, a servant was guarding outside the house to prevent the bride from escaping. He was sleepy and dozing off, and in his daze, he vaguely heard some noise.
And, in the dim courtyard, I vaguely saw a woman wearing red bridal makeup, with her hair flowing...
But the servant just thought it was dazzlement and continued to sleep.
The next day, when the maid took the toiletries and opened the bridal chamber, she was so frightened by the scene before her that she fainted.
The bride was hanged on a beam with a white silk scarf. Her fingernails and toenails were festering and bloody. She was covered with a red veil while hanging in the air.
The groom was lying on the bed, his whole body rotting, his facial features distorted, and an extremely foul smell.
…
Qin Nuo quickly read the short story about the ghost marriage scene in two or three glances. There was also a photo attached to it.
It was the wedding photo of a ghost marriage bride and groom. In the photo, the groom had his eyes closed, his face was pale, his eye sockets were sunken, and his head was slightly tilted and resting on the bride's shoulder.
The bride sat quietly aside, with a red veil covering her head, and her posture looked dignified and ladylike.
The photos are old, yellow and cracked. After reading the story, looking at the photos again makes me feel indescribably eerie.
Qin Nuo stood up and didn't pay much attention to this supernatural story.
It only serves to introduce the main plot, and the highlight will probably be later.
He passed by the paper man. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but when he passed by, a lot of blood came out of the paper man's mouth, and the two eyes on the paper man were moving slightly.
It’s like there is a living person embedded under this cardboard!
Qin Nuo did not let the terrifying idea go into research, and he was not interested in whether it was true or not.
The end of the passage was filled with fog, and the whistling feeling became stronger and stronger. From time to time, there were some disturbing sinister laughs and resentful sobs in the ears, giving people a feeling of being immersed in the scene.
“I have to say, this sound system is amazing.”
Qin Nuo complained casually and lifted the curtain in front of him, and saw two wooden doors decorated with wedding fireworks, with brand new couplets pasted on both sides and decorated with bloodstains.
"It seems that the bridal chamber is inside. The core of the ghost marriage theme should be seen inside."
"But the players who were walking in front of me, there's no trace of them. Are they all gone, or are they all gathered in the atrium?"
Qin Nuo murmured and pushed open the door.
Crunch.
The sound of the door opening spread, and Qin Nuo walked in. Unlike outside, the stuffy air filled his nose, and red light shone into the room.
Although it is called a room, the space is not small and there are many decorations.
It is not the decoration of a room, but more like the decoration of a hall, with curtains arranged here.
As soon as Qin Nuo came in, he caught a glimpse of a strange scene.
On the other side of the curtain, there were several chairs with several people sitting on them, both men and women, with their IDs displayed on them.
When Qin Nuo came in, they all glanced at him without paying much attention to him, and continued to look forward.
