Starting from this angle, everyone started asking the old woman some question again. Only then did they learn about the actual truth of what had happened that year.
As it turns out, the real reason that the village chief’s son chose to leave that year was due to his sexual orientation. It was naturally impossible for the village chief to let his son to leave like this, so he sent people to chase after him. But no one expected that an accident would happen against the two sides midway, which resulted to the death of the village chief’s son.
Very few people were aware of this matter. After all, the village chief didn’t want the outsiders to know about this as well. Even the matter of the ghost marriage afterwards, was also only something this old woman knew from the start.
Moreover, the village chief was also unwilling to accept this issue, and wanted to believe that his son was normal, so he arranged a ghost marriage for his son in that place afterwards…… But from the looks of things right now, the village chief seems to have very likely done this things for some kind of purpose.
Everyone fell in a daze. Could the tragedy of this instance be brought about by the feudalistic backward thinking of this village in the rejection of the engagement of homosexual practices?
On their way back, Gu Wuji also asked Qi Yunxiu on what happened before the village chief went back to their place.
Qi Yunxiu immediately talked about all the things that took place.
Xiao Cheng hadn’t returned last night, and had probably died already. The assumption that Gu Wuji and Qi Yunxiu might have also died, had initially made the other players rattled, who didn’t expect that the village chief would come over to their place with a huge crowd in the early morning.
As it turns out, the village chief had sent over a lot of gifts in the name of inviting them to participate in the ceremony, in addition to inviting Xiao Meng to play the part of the bride. Of course, the village chief solely expressed that this ceremony was just an act, and wouldn’t pose any danger. Moreover, Xiao Meng’s role was also just to look good.
There was no way Xiao Meng dared to agree in this. But the village chief didn’t persuade her, as if he was very certain that everything will develop as planned.
After that, Qi Yunxiu began to find trouble with the village chief in order to stall for time. Such as, shouldn’t there be a need to receive some compensation when looking for someone to play a character in your village? But because he was originally someone who looks bad to socialize with, and was usually harsh spoken, so the village chief became hard-pressed for a while.
Following this, the village chief perceived something all of a sudden, and immediately rushed back home. Qi Yunxiu and the others anxiously chased after him as well.
“Things aren’t looking too good. If this goes on, the ceremony will smoothly proceed tomorrow…… Although tomorrow will also be the seventh day, but who knows whether we can get out from this village.”
Gu Wuji frowned, thinking back to the scene he saw while hiding inside the cabinet. There was a constant nagging feeling that there seems to be something he needed to take note of at that time. There was an obvious strange feeling in that scene, but he couldn’t figure out the problem for a while.
After returning to their residence, everyone conscientiously inspected the gifts that the village chief had sent at this time. After seeing several festive items, that were something similar to betrothal gifts, made everyone’s blood run cold.
Even more so, Xiao Meng, who sat with a deathly pale complexion on her face, “Even if those things were thrown out, and the clothes burned, those things would still appear in their original places without a single change afterwards. Is there really no way?”
The other players quickly comforted Xiao Meng. Gu Wuji turned his head, and suddenly discovered that the outside was once again covered with mist, “It seems that going out today isn’t possible anymore.”
Everyone became panicked. Most of the players had already died. Could it be, that they no longer had any choice but to take part in that ceremony?
Gu Wuji looked down and conscientiously examined this bridal attire. The thing that made him somewhat astounded was that this bridal attire was extremely similar to the attire of that female ghost he had seen before……. Wrong, this was exactly the same thing.
Gu Wuji lightly pinched the fabric of the attire, with an idea in his mind.
“Don’t be afraid.” Gu Wuji told Xiao Meng, who immediately looked over with a moved and expectant expression.
After all, Gu Wuji was still the most reliable person among the players, and only he could come up with a solution at this moment.
Everyone couldn’t help but look over, while looking forward to what he would say next.
“Just let me go and wear this dress tomorrow.”
Everyone: “?!?”
