Traveling through the world of Paper Wedding Dress

Chapter 70: The Debt of a Couple (Part )

When I got home, my parents asked in surprise, "Why did Yuanyuan come back so suddenly?"

"Uh, I forgot to take something with me. I came back to get it and will go back to school tomorrow. Did anything happen at home?" Xun Yuanfeng asked from the side.

"Nothing?" The two looked at each other.

"Forget it, why is Yuanyuan so weird? Let's go to the company. Yuanyuan, you stay at home." The couple hugged each other and went out.

Xun Yuanfeng and Paimeng were eating fruits and watching TV at home when they suddenly heard a hurried knock on the door and the doorbell. They got up and saw that it was Shen Moqing whom they had seen upstairs before. But they didn't know what had happened. He looked anxious and there was sweat on his face after exercise.

Xun Yuanfeng asked worriedly, "What's wrong with you?"

Shen Moqing: "Can you help me?"

Shen Moqing didn't know why it turned out like this. He and Wang Jiaotong had gone to visit relatives together, but what happened afterwards was completely out of character.

"Tongtong, we're here." Shen Moqing got out of the car and opened the passenger door.

Wang Jiaotong said "hmm" and got out of the car. The two walked on the small road in the field.

"Across the vegetable field is my second grandfather... Hoo!" Shen Moqing screamed in fright when he saw a man in red clothes in the field.

Wang Jiaotong was also frightened by Shen Moqing: "Qingqing, what are you doing? You scared me."

Shen Moqing took a closer look and found that it was a scarecrow: "Oh... this scarecrow by the vegetable field is wearing a red gauze and a mask. At first glance, I thought it was a person."

Wang Jiaotong looked at his teasing and said, "Are you remembering the horror movie you watched with me last week?"

Wang Jiaotong took a few steps towards the scarecrow, and Shen Moqing shouted worriedly.

Wang Jiaotong looked at the scarecrow carefully and said, "This is the first time I've seen a scarecrow wrapped in red yarn. Is there any explanation for this?"

Shen Moqing didn't quite understand: "I don't know...Tongtong, before I came here, my second grandfather specifically told me that something is wrong in the village recently. Let's go quickly."

Shen Moqing was a little scared but Wang Jiaotong didn't feel that way: "Hey~ What are you afraid of when I'm here?"

But the next second the scarecrow turned its head in front of them, and both of them were shocked when they saw it.

Wang Jiaotong asked Shen Moqing for confirmation with a little fear: "Qingqing...did this scarecrow turn its head just now?"

When Shen Moqing saw it, he just thought it was caused by external factors and didn't dare to think too much: "Well... it should be... the wind."

Wang Jiaotong saw his frightened look and thought it was nothing: "Stupid man, how can you be so timid." At this time, the sound of musical instruments came from the surroundings: "Huh? Suona?"

Wang Jiaotong looked around to see where the sound came from and saw a sedan chair not far away. She immediately pulled Shen Moqing to point it over there: "Hey! Qingqing, look at the sedan chair over there! Is it the custom in your village to get married at night?"

"I don't know either, but even if it's a wedding, why don't they even light a lantern?" Shen Moqing felt something was wrong and wanted to leave.

"Let's go quickly, Second Grandpa is still waiting for us." Wang Jiaotong felt as if these words were heard from far away. She turned her head and found that Shen Moqing, who was originally beside her, was gone.

"Qingqing? Qingqing, where have you been? Qingqing!" The surroundings began to become gray and hazy: "Qingqing! Why is it foggy?"

In the thick fog, Wang Jiaotong heard many voices, but those voices didn't have the energy of living people, especially in this environment, it was particularly terrifying. There were also bursts of crying and a nursery rhyme that was not very clear, "The big red wedding dress drowned in the cold water, on March 3, the ghost married a wife."

Wang Jiaotong was frightened when she heard the voice: "Who are you? Don't come over here!"

"The wooden tablet of Yin-Yang Eight Characters."

Wang Jiaotong finally saw clearly that the voice came from the scarecrow: "The scarecrow spoke!"

Wang Jiaotong was so frightened that her face turned pale, and the scarecrow let out another strange laugh.

"It's time to pay back the debt of love!"

Wang Jiaotong told Shen Moqing what had just happened and her face turned pale and she hadn't fully recovered yet.

Shen Moqing poured her a glass of water: "Tongtong, are you feeling better?"

"There really was no one else in the vegetable field just now, and the scarecrow didn't move. Are you tired from sitting in the car for too long?"

Wang Jiaotong was unhappy when he heard this: "Stupid man, don't you believe me? The scene just now was too real, I was almost scared to death!"

Shen Moqing hugged her comfortingly: "Okay, okay, don't be afraid, I'm here."

"What's the point of you being here? You're no match for me at the critical moment..."

Shen Moqing had no way to refute and could only change the subject: "Have some tea first."

Wang Jiaotong took a sip: "Hmm... What kind of tea is this? It tastes so bad." She couldn't drink the tea anymore: "Hey, your second grandfather is so slow. We have already cleaned up the room, why hasn't he come out yet?"

"Shh... keep your voice down. Second Grandpa is very particular about etiquette. He will be unhappy if a woman criticizes his elders."

Wang Jiaotong disagreed: "Your family has so many rules, it's not like we're a big family in the old society."

The door was pushed open with a creak, and the second grandfather who the two had just been discussing walked in. Shen Moqing greeted him when he saw him: "Hello, second grandfather."

Second Grandfather: “Yeah.”

Shen Moqing introduced to Second Grandpa: "Second Grandpa, she is my girlfriend."

"Tongtong, he is my second grandfather."

Wang Jiaotong greeted him obediently, "Hello, Second Grandpa."

But the second grandfather didn't look kind to her: "Humph, holding the teacup with your left hand is not polite, and you are dressed like a child, it's not decent."

"Eh? But Qingqing is also..."

Second Grandfather interrupted her and said, "This face is indeed a sign of bad luck for the husband."

Wang Jiaotong was a little unhappy when she heard this: "What?"

Shen Moqing wanted to stop him: "Second Grandpa, don't do this..."

The second grandfather said bluntly: "Mo Qing, I told you a long time ago that this woman is not suitable. Her fate is not compatible, her face is not good, and she is not as good as the previous one in every way."

Wang Jiaotong got angry when she heard this: "You! You guys! Shen Moqing, what do you mean? You are colluding to intimidate me, right?"

Shen Moqing wanted to explain: "Tongtong, I didn't..."

Wang Jiaotong didn't want to listen: "I'm going back to sleep!" She slammed the door and left.

Seeing him like this, the second grandfather became even more dissatisfied: "Humph, you dare to throw a tantrum before you even get married. I told you that you can't have a woman like this."

Shen Moqing interrupted him angrily: "Second Grandfather, what you just said is really too much. What era is this? You can't always use those feudal etiquette and superstitions to make things worse."

Seeing that he was indeed a little angry, the second grandfather stopped talking: "Okay, okay, I won't say anymore. You have been afraid of things since you were a child, and now you are afraid of women."

"Your great aunt will be here soon. I'll ask her to give you a good talk!"

Shen Moqing sighed after watching his second grandfather leave. How did it become like this? He didn't know what kind of person that great aunt was. What if she said something nasty again... No, he had to go and persuade Tongtong quickly.

Shen Moqing walked to the door and tried to push it open but found that it couldn't be opened.

[Locked? Tongtong must have slammed the door and knocked the bolt off.]

Shen Moqing looked around for tools and found an ash shovel.

[This seems to be just right, while Second Grandpa is away.] Shen Moqing used the shovel to pry open the bolt, and walked to Tongtong's room and found that the door of this room was also locked. Shen Moqing knocked on the door helplessly: "Tongtong, Tongtong, are you in there?"

Wang Jiaotong: "Stupid man, don't bother me!"

Shen Moqing: “Tongtong…”

At this time, the old woman's voice came from outside: "Wang Zong, why did you call me here so late?"

"Is it the great aunt that Second Grandpa mentioned? She's here so soon." Shen Moqing walked out.

Second Grandfather: "Aunt Tang! I've been waiting for you for a long time, and finally you've come!" Seeing Shen Moqing coming over, he said, "Moqing, it's great that you're here. Come and say hello to Aunt Tang. Aunt Tang is a very senior relative of our family, so you have to call her Great Aunt. She's very capable, she can deliver babies, exorcise ghosts, and do everything." Second Grandfather looked proud as if he was introducing his own skills.

Tangbaba: "Just try to get close to me. It's just a small village, and everyone's ancestors are related. I can only get rid of bad luck, but I can't subdue ghosts."

Shen Moqing: "Grandma..."

Tangbaba looked at Shen Moqing and said, "This is Moqing, what a handsome guy. Just call me Tangbaba. Don't call me great aunt. It makes me sound old."

Shen Moqing: "Granny Tang."

The second grandfather interrupted: "Moqing, Tang Xiangu and I have something to discuss. If you have nothing else to do, go to bed. Go quickly." The second grandfather pushed Shen Moqing away.

Shen Moqing: "Okay."

[Forget it, I'll find the key myself.] Shen Moqing saw Second Grandpa and Tangbaba walking away and walked towards the warehouse.
