On weekends, I went back to the countryside to visit relatives and inadvertently saw a scene of horror on the country road. Several people were carrying a simple bamboo sedan chair by the side of the road. The sedan chair was covered by a fiery red cloth, and a weak “foot” was exposed under the red cloth, swinging in the air. And the brawny men who carried the sedan chair had sweat on their faces.
That night, I had a strange dream. In my dream, I became a newlywed woman sitting in a sedan chair, and the one who married me was an “old person” who had been dead for a long time. Xi Niang, who presided over the wedding, kept nagging in my ear: “The deceased marries a bride, and the beautiful woman is not sad; the child in the belly likes to recognize his father, and the family is together.”
I was shocked out of a cold sweat, and then looked down at my stomach, it bulged high! In shock, I was pulled up by the sedan chair and came to the grave site. They first threw my “husband” in the tomb, then pushed “me” down, and then filled with soil one by one.

My eyes, ears, nose and mouth are filled with soil, and it is as uncomfortable as suffocation. Suddenly, I heard someone calling me: “Sister! Sister! Wake up!” I opened my eyes and saw my sister sitting on the bed and shaking me vigorously. She told me that since I lay down last night, I kept crying for help. Later, when I saw that my face was all purple, I felt something strange.
Before I could tell my grandma about the ins and outs of the matter, grandma took the initiative to bring it up. The “girl” who married yesterday evening, her “corpse” is gone this morning! The grave was dug, and there was only one “stillborn child” left in the grave!
“Kill the chickens and get the eggs, you want a baby or a mother! This is really a crime!” Grandma said with a sigh.
I asked tremblingly: “Grandma, did I meet a dark marriage yesterday?”
“That’s right, it’s not!” Zu Grandma said. This “man” is the only seedling in the family, and the elders plan to find him a yin relative to continue the incense. Finally, there was a woman in the village who had a dystocia who had just died, and his family went to ask for a kiss. What people didn’t expect was that the bride’s body was gone when the two were buried together.
I heard a cold sweat, combined with the horrible dream last night, I felt that the “man” didn’t want to marry a wife at all, but simply wanted the child in her belly, so The woman’s body was gone. Or, it was the woman’s husband who was reluctant to bear her, and took her body away. In order to prevent the dead from making trouble for him, he left the “unborn baby”.
Whatever it was, the strange things in the countryside made me feel uncomfortable. I took my sister and hurriedly left my grandma’s house that afternoon. However, that dream has been haunting me…
