"Listen, start the commotion three miles away at the hour of Mao (5-7 AM)."
"The tone is even and uneven, the sound of horses' hooves gradually rises, cutting away the sorrowful word."
"No sooner said than done, the fog cleared up as soon as the door was opened."
"The stray cats have been following me for several blocks, and my neck is crooked when I climb a tree."
"Looking around, I saw her waiting. Strangely, all the doors in this village were closed."
"It's Wang Ergou's shoes again, left outside the door."
"She alone still remembers the love that is so deep, a love that transcends right and wrong."
"Here I am, dismounting just now."
"The official laughed."
"The official pondered for a long time with amusement."
"Only a few hums escaped, bringing sorrow to the one who is parting."
This fast-paced rap is filled with an absurd and eerie sense of desolation.
When people saw the official riding a fine horse to welcome the bride, they were as if they had seen a ghost, and they all closed their doors and windows tightly.
Along the way, there were even black wild cats following us all the way.
As he arrived at the door, a wisp of blue mist slowly opened it.
It was as if the spirits of the underworld were truly welcoming the groom's arrival.
The phrase "[It's Wang Ergou's shoes again, left outside the door]" is completely nonsensical.
The word "again".
This is enough to show that "Wang Ergou" in the lyrics often went to her house.
A love that is intimate and deeply felt can be described as a love that runs to the very core of one's being.
Strangely, the man who married her was her "official."
So who does she actually love?
Is it Wang Ergou?
Or is it your husband?
[I don't quite understand. Did Wang Ergou and she fall in love, and the official took her for himself? Or did Wang Ergou take advantage of the situation and take her for himself while the official was in the capital for the imperial examinations? What exactly is the meaning of Wen He's song...?]
[These lyrics are a bit too obscure... If it's the former, then the official's laughter means he knows Wang Ergou and she are in love, so the laughter is a way of trampling on Wang Ergou.]
[But if it's the latter, then the official's laughter is because he successfully passed the imperial examination and happily returned to marry his beloved, unaware that his lover has already been taken by Wang Ergou.]
What was the meaning behind that official's humming "Parting Sorrow"? Was he deliberately trying to humiliate Wang Ergou?
No...that's not right. It's also possible that he knew his lover was dead, and he was very clear that this was a ghost marriage. The "sorrow of parting" he mentioned probably refers to himself, a mixture of great joy and great sorrow.
The audience found Wen He's bizarre lyrics and content difficult to comprehend.
This song is especially relevant to Wen He's experiences.
Could it be...?
After Cheng Yudie was taken advantage of, she committed suicide because she couldn't bear the shock.
Because the song is filled with the characters "Wang Ergou" and "Guanren".
If we consider Wenhe's own situation...
Given Wen He's current fame and wealth.
No one should dare to use their power to take Wen He's woman.
After all, he is now an absolute top influencer on the internet. Anyone who dares to step on his head is asking for trouble.
Especially since Wen He was already nearing the end of his life, no matter how big your status is, they'll just expose you.
The richer and more powerful a person is, the more they cherish their life.
No one would be foolish enough to trigger this viral bomb for the sake of a woman.
Then there is only one possibility.
That is, "Wang Ergou" forcibly took Cheng Yudie as his own. Cheng Yudie couldn't accept it and chose to commit suicide. Then Wen He held this ghost marriage for her.
This is the experience that the audience has analyzed through this song so far, but they are not sure if it is correct.
"She couldn't keep up with the conversation again this time."
"She cried while laughing."
"Guess how she laughed while crying?"
"She was crying~"
"Look at her, she's crying and laughing at the same time!"
As the accompaniment became more urgent, Wen He immediately took out the suona that she had prepared beforehand.
Before he could finish singing, he, dressed in his wedding attire, suddenly took a deep breath.
The moment the suona horn was sounded!
It was as if a strong electric current instantly passed through my body, shooting straight to my inspiration.
The excruciating pain, like a tidal wave, crashed against people's hearts.
It was as if the already gloomy and dark sky was gradually pressing down.
The unimaginable sense of oppression made it impossible for anyone to breathe.
(Bowing to Heaven and Earth!)
In just a moment!
People seemed to vaguely see a woman wearing a red cheongsam and a red veil standing next to Wen He.
Everyone stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the stage that had been set up as a wedding venue.
(Bowing to the parents twice!)
In a daze.
The figure of Wen He, who was playing the suona, seemed to gradually fade into the distance.
Instead, there was a woman named Wen He standing face to face with the bride.
He had a happy smile on his face.
(Husband and wife bow to each other!)
Wen He and Cheng Yudie bowed slightly at the same time, exchanging prayers.
As she stood up, Wen He carefully lifted her red veil.
Cheng Yudie gazed at Wen He with tears welling in her eyes, her eyes filled with immense happiness.
She cried while laughing.
She came here laughing through her tears.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Wen He gently moved closer.
This time.
He stood before the lights of countless homes and kissed his earthly realm.
