My fear reached its peak, unable to bear it and passed out. When I woke up, I realized that it was just a nightmare.

But it feels like there's still a cold sensation crawling on my legs, which is extremely creepy. Fortunately, my sister-in-law and Zhang Laosan's ghost wedding are scheduled for tonight. Once tonight is over, I won't have to continue staying here.

It's quite a coincidence that the almanac says today is a suitable day for marriage, whether for the living or the dead.

The house is lively in the evening. My mother has set up a feast in the front hall and invited relatives and friends from the village. Everyone is happy and talking. My brother somehow managed to get a suit from somewhere. Although it doesn't fit well, it looks decent.

No one asks where the bride is, perhaps because it's already common in our village.

Zhang Shu has already prepared everything early, actually the things needed for a ghost wedding are similar to those for a living wedding, with just a few differences. The bride should have cinnabar in her mouth and black dog blood should be sprinkled before getting into the sedan, which is actually a coffin.

And one more thing, the bride's feet should not touch the ground. Someone has to carry or hold her all the way into the sedan.

Who will carry my sister-in-law? There's no need to discuss this matter, it naturally falls on me. Well, let it be, consider it my final farewell to my sister-in-law.

We've been waiting until close to dawn. According to the elderly, this is the time when the gates of the underworld are wide open, the most suitable time for a ghost wedding.

The laughter next door gradually faded away. I guess it's time for the bridal chamber and candlelight.

Zhang Shu suddenly patted my shoulder, indicating that it's time. I understood and prepared to lift my sister-in-law into the sedan.

The sedan is placed outside the room, just a few steps away, but it's very important. On the path of the ghost wedding, every step the bride takes will make her forget about the past, and she will follow her husband into the future.

My sister-in-law has already put on the bridal makeup on the mat, making her face even paler. Her mouth is painted bright red, filled with cinnabar, giving a creepy look. My hands were trembling, I took a deep breath, and lifted my sister-in-law from the mat.

She is very light, her body is extremely cold. I walked forward step by step with ease, but strangely, the more steps I took, the heavier my sister-in-law on my back became. I was wondering about this when suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew in, and I felt a bone-chilling coldness. The candlelight in the room was extinguished, and I couldn't see my hand in front of my face.

While I was wondering, I suddenly felt a lightness on my back, and the room lit up again. It wasn't until I regained my senses that I realized my sister-in-law on my back was gone!

I was horrified, but then I heard the sound of a crying baby coming from the next room, a very sharp cry with a strange aura.
