Li Xiu saw that Liu Hou was enjoying the meal, and felt sick in her heart.
"Second brother, you can eat this without fear of poisoning?"
He covered his mouth to avoid vomiting.
Liu Hou didn't care: "These are sacrifices. The dead can smell them, and the living can certainly use them to fill their stomachs. Besides, these sacrifices should have been offered yesterday. They are quite fresh and will not hurt your stomach."
Seeing that Liu Hou was eating so well, Li Xiu couldn't help but feel hungry, so he coyly pulled the rice in front of him and took a bite.
It tastes pretty good.
"Hurry up and eat. It's easy to do things when you're full."
Liu Hou gave an order.
Li Xiu frowned: "Second brother, why don't we run away now? What if those ghosts discover that we are human beings?"
"slip?"
Liu Hou shook his head: "There's no rush. The two of us mingled among the ghosts and took the opportunity to inquire about the situation and find out what is going on in this red building."
There are so many strange things about the Red Mansion that Liu Hou always felt unsure if he didn't understand them clearly.
After all, Li Xiu has been here as the administrator for twenty days, so all the binding spirits upstairs and downstairs should have seen him. But these binding spirits don't seem to recognize him today.
No matter how you think about it, nothing is right.
Is it possible that the memory of these bound spirits is as short as that of goldfish?
After finishing the meal in a few mouthfuls, it was almost midnight.
At Hai's hour, the Lou family's wedding officially began.
The groom was dressed in black, with a large white paper flower hanging on his chest. He was short and ugly, with a stupid smile on his face.
From time to time, he would turn around and look at the unmarried daughter-in-law beside him.
This little daughter-in-law is wearing a red hijab, so her face cannot be seen clearly, but she has a slim figure.
He was led by the matchmaker with a rope and walked towards the front of the hall like an animal.
The little daughter-in-law kept crying in the red hijab, and the sad sounds kept coming out.
The matchmaker advised her gloomily: "Miss Lin, you are already marrying into the Lou family. The Lou family is a powerful family, and you will enjoy endless glory and wealth from now on."
The little daughter-in-law couldn't persuade her anymore and kept crying.
The matchmaker became fierce and threatened: "That is to say, my old lady has a good heart and a good temper. The master of the Lou family is a bad-tempered master. If you cry again, be careful he will tear you open in public. I promise your parents,
I’m afraid I’ll regret it too.”
The little daughter-in-law stopped crying immediately.
The matchmaker then nodded with satisfaction: "That's right, be good, go to the church."
The silly groom happily went to grab his wife's hand, but the ghost girl in the red wedding dress retracted her hand into her sleeves like lightning.
As if she noticed something, the young daughter-in-law suddenly gently lifted her red hijab, revealing the lower half of her face, and glanced in the direction of the main seat.
The position he was looking at was on Liu Hou and Li Xiu's side.
Liu Hou was stunned for a moment, what did the bride think they were going to do?
At this glance, Li Xiu, who was eating the meal next to him, suddenly stopped and stared at the bride stupidly.
Don't know what I'm looking at.
I was dumbfounded.
Liu Hou hit him on the head: "What are you looking at? The bride is so beautiful that she made you look stupid?"
Li Xiu was in pain, and then she came to her senses and said absently: "I don't know the bride, and she is wearing a red hijab, so how can I know if she is pretty or not."
"Don't look around."
Liu Hou warned: "No matter how beautiful the woman in this red building is, she is still a ghost."
"I know."
Li Xiu lowered his head and muttered.
The bride and the silly groom paid homage, and the silly groom took off the bride's red hijab.
The bride is indeed beautiful, with cherry red lips, picturesque eyebrows, and a pair of almond eyes so watery that they seem to drip with water. Maybe she cried for too long, and her eye sockets are all swollen.
Liu Hou looked at the bride's face and was shocked all over.
This bride actually has eyes.
All the earthbound spirits in the Red Mansion, for some reason, have no eyeballs.
But this bride is different. She obviously has ghost energy in her body, but the ghost energy is very weak and her eyes are intact.
How is this going?
Li Xiu on the side seemed to have been sucked out of her soul, looking at the bride's appearance without blinking, unable to move her eyes.
Liu Hou coughed, and Li Xiu came back to his senses and did not dare to look at the bride again.
After the two newlyweds served tea to their parents, Lou Shengkang gave the gift. Then he led the bride and groom to toast table by table.
The first one to arrive was the main table where Liu Hou was.
Lou Shengkang toasted to Liu Hou and Li Xiu politely, and once again thanked Liu Hou for his generous gift.
During this period, Li Xiu kept her head lowered, not daring to look at the bride's face.
The bride had no expression on her face, but she took the initiative to pick up the wine and clink the glasses in Li Xiu's hands.
Li Xiu drank it all without a word.
The bride's beautiful eyes lingered on him for a moment, as if reluctant to leave, and then she followed Lou Shengkang and left to go to the next table.
Liu Hou saw the Lou family walking away, and his eyes circled around Li Xiu a few times: "Do you know the bride?"
"do not know!"
Li Xiu quickly shook his head.
"It's okay if you don't know me."
Liu Hou didn't think much about it.
The main table was already full of guests.
He picked up a bowl of wine and toasted an old ghost beside him: "Hello, old gentleman."
Although this old ghost looks scary and has a big gash on his head, he has a good temperament and was probably an intellectual during his lifetime.
"Don't dare, don't dare, hello Mr. Liu."
The old ghost bowed his hand.
Liu Hou exchanged pleasantries with him, trying to get some words out of him. But this old ghost was a man of some stripes, and Liu Hou was never able to get anything useful out of his mouth.
The old ghost's mouth was full of polite words.
Liu Hou was heartbroken and said, "Old sir, when are we going to see the moon?"
He remembered the rule in Li Xiu's employee handbook that he was not allowed to look at the moon. But the three ghosts in room 306 clamored to see the moon.
Living people cannot look at the moon, but dead people have to look at the moon.
There must be something fishy in this.
"Look at the moon?"
The old ghost asked doubtfully: "Didn't I just watch it just now?"
"Haha, haven't I seen enough?"
Liu Hou scratched his head.
The old ghost looked him up and down for a moment, seeming a little suspicious: "If you want to see it, you have to wait until after nine o'clock tomorrow. How about tomorrow, Mr. Liu and I can enjoy the moon together?"
"Of course that's good."
Liu Hou pretended to be happy.
The old ghost sullenly said in a very envious tone: "I really envy Mr. Liu that he still has eyeballs. It will be better to look at the moon with his eyeballs."
Liu Hou choked and his heart beat several times.
This old ghost has no eyes, but he can see himself clearly.
What does it mean to see the moon better if you have eyeballs? What does this mean?
Could it be that looking at the moon could bring some benefit to the ghost in the red building?
Liu Hou was puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions.
He was afraid of exposing his flaws and being seen by all the ghosts in the hall that he was a living person.
Liu Hou pretended to have a lively chat with a table full of ghosts. Li Xiu gently tugged on his clothes and said in a low voice: "Boy, I want to find a place to pee."
"pee?"
Liu Hou was stunned for a moment. This was not easy to do. If you were peeing on a ghost's territory, it would be easy for the ghost to smell urine.
When living people smell other people's urine, they will only feel the smell of urine is strong. But when dead people smell the smell of living people's urine, it is terrible. What they smell is yang energy: "It's very urgent, can you bear it?"
"Can't bear it anymore?"
Li Xiu looked like she was in a hurry to urinate.
Liu Hou had no choice but to take out a talisman from his body and secretly stuff it to him: "Find a place where no ghosts will notice and urinate on this talisman. The talisman will cover up the yang energy in your urine."
"good!"
Li Xiu grabbed the charm, hid it, and went to the toilet.
Liu Hou had a lively chat with the old man next to him. As expected, the old man was a professor and taught at Sanchuan University.
Sanchuan University is where master Ni Yuefei studied. If this old professor had not died twenty years ago, he would have retired early by now.
The professor is very knowledgeable and fun to talk to, but he is also a talkative person.
Liu Hou interrupted several times to get where he wanted to talk, but the professor ghost didn't give him a chance to interrupt.
It didn't take long for Li Xiu to come back after peeing.
Seeing that Liu Hou couldn't get the information he wanted, he simply left and took Liu Hou downstairs to wait.
The underworld wedding is over. If you wait a little longer, the banquet should be over.
When the fifth floor is unblocked by the Lou family, you can continue to the top floor.
But before they reached the stairs, Liu Hou's expression suddenly changed and he jumped back while pulling Li Xiu.
I saw clusters of skeletons growing out of the stairwell on the fourth floor.
Chapter completed!
