Chapter 64 A Happy Event Turns into a Sad Event
After three rounds of wine, the dishes have five flavors.
Yao Zhengbang held the table with a very unhappy face. When someone came to toast him, he waved his hand hurriedly.
"...I'm going to the bathroom. I'll come back after I go to the bathroom."
After saying that, he supported his drunken body and walked alone towards the bathroom in the house.
Although Ping'an Village is located deep in the mountains, every household has a small Western-style building, and even the bathroom and toilet are independent.
There was a mirror hanging on the wall near the door of the bathroom. Yao Zhengbang pressed the flush button and stood in front of the mirror.
He looked at himself in the mirror, who was obviously drunk, and turned on the faucet, splashing cold water on his face.
There is no tap water in the village, but spring water brought down from the mountains.
The water is quite cool and has a sweet taste, but today's water seems a little strange...
Yao Zhengbang smelled a fishy odor of rust, and his face felt sticky when he touched it.
He felt something was wrong, and when he looked up at the mirror, his pupils suddenly dilated.
“Ahhhhhh!!! Help, there’s a ghost, ghost!!!”
He stepped back in panic, slipped, and fell to the ground.
What was reflected in the mirror was not him, but a bride in a wedding dress covered with a red veil.
Her hands hung straight down at her sides, her long, sharp nails hooked on her red skirt, and suddenly!
Raising her left hand, she grasped the red veil and slowly lifted it up.
Yao Zhengbang was so frightened that he became insane. He instinctively got up from the ground and tried to open the door, but the door handle would not open no matter how many times he pressed it.
He turned back to look at the mirror several times in horror, and his mind couldn't help but think of the scene of Sadako crawling out of the TV.
I was afraid that this female ghost would crawl out of the mirror!
"Someone! Help! There's a ghost!!"
The bathroom door was slammed with a loud bang, and several bloody handprints were left on the door.
He looked down and saw that his hands were covered in red blood.
The noise from the banquet outside was so loud that no one heard his cries for help.
Finally, the red veil was completely lifted, and he saw a grayish-white face with red lips.
When Yao Zhengbang saw that face, he was stunned for a moment. He recognized who the female ghost was.
The bathroom door suddenly opened from the outside, and the next second——
"Jungbang? Why didn't you respond to me when you were in there?"
The woman who came in was the daughter of his eldest uncle. She knocked on the door for a while, but no one answered before she came in.
Who would have thought...
Yao Zijia looked at the person who was obviously abnormal. He seemed to have been frightened to insanity by something. He sat there blankly, laughing like a fool and drooling as he laughed.
"Oh my god! He must have drunk himself to death!" She quickly turned around and went to find her cousin's wife to come over and take a look.
Where she couldn't see, Yao Zhengbang's soul was grabbed by a slender gray hand and thrown into the mirror, and was slowly torn apart bit by bit.
…
Yao Pan'er still stared blankly at the broken sky outside the window.
She didn't even notice the yin energy seeping into the room until her body grew cold and she felt a chill.
It’s not the kind of winter cold, but the eerie feeling that seeps into the bone marrow.
Yao Pan'er turned around stiffly and saw a woman in a red wedding dress.
The other person was wearing a red veil, but the figure always looked familiar to her.
"Who are you?" Her voice was extremely hoarse because she had been crying all night.
The woman in the wedding dress stood by the bed and seemed to stare at her for a moment.
She was clearly wearing a red veil, but Yao Paner had a hunch that she was looking at herself.
The woman didn't say anything, but stretched out a gray hand and slowly touched Yao Paner's calf.
Yao Pan'er frowned. "I'm the only one forced to marry in the village today. There shouldn't be another one. Who are you?"
All she saw was the woman untying the thick rope that bound her, and then pointing towards the gate.
"Are you here to save me?" Yao Pan'er looked at the wooden door. "Do you want me to run away?"
The woman nodded without saying a word.
A glimmer of hope flashed in Yao Paner's eyes, and she quickly got up from the bed.
Because she had been tied up for too long, she fell a little, but she ignored the pain and stepped forward to hold the woman's hand.
"Maybe we can run now—"
She suddenly froze in the middle of her words.
The cold, temperatureless touch of her hands made her realize that something was wrong.
Yao Pan'er looked at the wedding dress she was wearing, which was the same as hers, and suddenly thought of something.
At this moment, the woman pushed her, confirming her guess.
Yao Paner thought of the friends who had been admitted to high school with her and had grown up with her.
At that time, her parents said that she went to study somewhere else. Yao Pan'er didn't believe it, but she couldn't find any information.
Until today, she has not given up the search, but she never expected that...
“…”
The woman whimpered anxiously, as if urging her to leave.
Yao Pan'er's eyes were red, dry and painful as she was pushed to the door.
"When I come back, I will avenge you!"
Hearing her suppressed words, the woman shook her head and motioned her to leave quickly.
Yao Pan'er also knew what was important and that now was not the time to be hurt.
Seeing her run out, the woman in the wedding dress took off her veil with a smile on her lips.
…
Yao Zhengbang is dead.
Such an incident happened at the originally festive and peaceful banquet, and everyone said it was unlucky.
Yao Zijia was the only person at the scene who saw him for the last time. She didn't expect that her cousin would die after leaving for a while.
The groom's family forced a smile and asked their fellow villagers to leave first, and then went to the bathroom.
Those who were still present were family members and people from the bride's side. Yao Zijia, who was a possible witness to the crime, was naturally kept behind.
At this time, Yao Zijia was talking about what she saw.
"I really don't know how my cousin got into trouble. He was like an idiot when I came in. It was only a few minutes."
The groom's father, who was just walking in, heard this and said with a gloomy face, "If you can't drink well, drink less. You're going to drink yourself to death."
As he spoke, he looked at the woman crying on Yao Zhengbang and said sternly, "How do you say we should deal with this? We paid a lot of betrothal gifts to marry your daughter. You must give us an explanation!"
Yao Zhengbang's wife paused in her sobs, looked up blankly, and the next second, she slapped her thighs and rolled over in a rage: "You are too heartless!"
"My husband just died, so it's okay if you don't understand, but you want me to pay back the betrothal gift? I'm telling you! No way! I'm going to sue you for killing my man!"
The groom's father sneered, but before he could say anything, the door next door suddenly slammed shut!
A gust of cold wind blew by, bringing with it a shrill howl, irritating the eardrums of everyone present.
They all turned around to look, and even Yao Zhengbang's wife stopped her shrewish behavior.
The door creaked open slowly, revealing first a foot in red embroidered shoes, then a blood-red wedding dress, with the soles of the shoes rubbing against the ground as someone walked in.
Yao Zhengbang's wife immediately stood up, pointed at the woman and cursed: "Yao Pan'er, are you so impatient? You want to marry me right after your father died, and you don't plan to ask for money for the funeral?!"
