Is this a marriage certificate?
I opened my mouth wide, momentarily at a loss for words.
Suddenly, I woke up with a start and realized that I had fallen asleep on the table without even realizing it.
So, it was all a dream.
I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, patting my chest repeatedly.
Just then, Luo Tianhe, who was also slumped over the table like me, woke up.
He glanced at me and said with a strange expression:
"Congratulations, Chen Yan, you're getting married."
Hearing his words, my heart sank. Was I just dreaming?
Why did Luo Tianhe know this too?!
Just then, a gust of cold wind blew by, and I felt a chill to the bone. Only then did I realize that the doors of the funeral home were wide open.
On the table, a yellowed, curled-edge red note had appeared out of nowhere.
My face turned deathly pale, and my body began to tremble uncontrollably.
I glared at Luo Tianhe fiercely, suppressing my anger as I said:
"What kind of time is this to make such a terrible joke? I'm a living, breathing person, why would I get married in a ghost marriage, especially to a ghost bride who's been dead for who knows how many years!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Tianhe shrugged and spread his hands.
"When that ghost bride was here, you were too scared to say a word or refuse. Now you've become brave, but what's the use of telling me?"
"They've already sent the invitation, how dare you not go?"
invitation!
Wait, I suddenly snapped back to reality.
Although this ghost bride gave me a marriage certificate, its true meaning was probably to send me to a mass grave to return the human skin sachet.
I'm just puzzled by something. When I handed her this human skin sachet, why didn't she just take it with her?!
I stroked my chin, lost in thought.
Just then, I suddenly heard footsteps at the door, and Li Huai's surprised voice.
"Brother Yan, Brother Luo, I'm so touched that you two were still waiting for me. But who burned the paper money at our door? You didn't even clean up the ashes."
At this point, Li Huai clenched his fist and said with a fierce expression:
"If I catch him, I'll tear him to pieces."
I looked at him listlessly.
"Why are you back? I thought you were staying at the old man's place."
Upon hearing this, Li Huai's fierce expression instantly turned bitter.
"Brother Yan, I just realized how wise it was to call that old man 'Dad' back then."
"At least being a son is much better than being treated like a grandson!"
Luo Tianhe and I exchanged a glance. It seemed that Li Huai had suffered a lot under the old man's thumb.
But it makes sense, Old Man Sun has a rather eccentric temper, but he has a very high opinion of himself, so his requirements for his apprentices are naturally extraordinary.
Li Huai still looked lazy and listless, so it would be strange if the old man couldn't resist giving him a good beating.
"By the way, you still haven't told me who burned paper money at our door. It's so unlucky!"
Li Huai wanted to find someone to vent his anger on.
Because of the marriage certificate, I didn't have the mind to pay attention to him for the time being, while Luo Tianhe chuckled.
"That ghost bride just arrived. The ashes from the paper offerings burned at the door must have been from her wedding procession."
"Go find her and settle the score, but you better keep your word."
Upon hearing Luo Tianhe's words, Li Huai was taken aback.
Seeing my worried expression, and knowing that Luo Tianhe didn't seem to be lying, he cautiously asked:
"Really? Brother Luo, what's that ghost bride doing here?"
"Hehe, look at that red invitation on the table."
Luo Tianhe winked at Li Huai.
Li Huai's expression was a bit strange. He remembered that Luo Tianhe was extremely depressed at the time, so why is he better now?
Could it be that this ghost bride came to his door to give him a psychological consultation?
Li Huai stepped forward, read the words on the invitation, and the next moment, like Luo Tianhe, he revealed a gloating smile:
"Brother Yan, you didn't even tell me beforehand that you're getting married. Congratulations!"
"Get out!"
I rolled my eyes and cursed irritably.
Those two bastards, if you asked them to risk their lives for me, they wouldn't even blink an eye.
But asking them to speak properly would be like taking their lives, and that's something we absolutely cannot agree to.
"What exactly happened?"
Li Huai laughed for a while, then suddenly asked in a serious tone.
I sighed and recounted what had just happened to him.
Then he picked up the invitation and looked at it over and over again.
"What exactly does she mean? If she wants the human skin sachet, why doesn't she just take it with her?"
Li Huai thought for a moment, then turned to me and said:
"Is it possible that it's not that she didn't want to take the human skin sachet with her, but that she couldn't?"
“I remember you told me before that a large part of the terrifying power of those ghosts comes from distorting our perception.”
"So we also see all sorts of terrifying ghosts and monsters, and we feel cold all over because of their arrival, and even get goosebumps."
"But the human skin sachet is right here, and they can't use any means to take it back."
Upon hearing this, both Luo Tianhe and I looked at Li Huai with some surprise. When did this kid become so sharp?
Seemingly understanding what Luo Tianhe and I meant, Li Huai became somewhat embarrassed and angry:
"Damn it, I've always been this smart, I just didn't bother to show you before."
But Luo Tianhe and I both ignored him and ignored his words. I looked at Luo Tianhe and said:
"Dr. Sun is truly a miracle doctor; he actually cured Li Huai's brain damage."
"That's right, a miracle doctor, a miracle doctor indeed."
Luo Tianhe nodded seriously.
Li Huai was so angry he almost choked. He thought for a moment, then pointed to the invitation on the table and said...
"Brother Yan, even at a time like this, you and Luo Tianhe are still in the mood to joke around."
"I think the most urgent thing is to buy you a wedding dress to solve your immediate problem."
Hearing him say that, I immediately stopped laughing and glared at him fiercely.
Luo Tianhe's joy deepened.
"To be honest, the fact that this ghost bride came to find you and even gave you a marriage certificate shows how much she values you. If we go to that mass grave, this ghost bride will protect us for the sake of the groom."
Luo Tianhe said happily, "Now I know why he's so happy."
So that's what they were planning.
"Brother Luo, you're dreaming. She's a ghost, and her thinking is different from normal people. She might even be hoping that the ghost Taoist priest will kill Brother Yan. We're all dead now, so it'll be easier to have a ghost marriage."
Li Huai, standing to the side, curled his lip and retorted.
At this point, I finally couldn't hold back anymore and kicked Li Huai.
"You son of a bitch, can't you pick something nice to say?!"
