Traveling through the world of Paper Wedding Dress

Shen Moqing vaguely heard what Second Grandfather and Tangbaba said

"Aunt Tang, there have been a lot of strange things happening in the village recently, and people are always getting sick. It started half a year ago. The village up there has been abandoned. Is it possible that those dirty things have moved downstream because no one is worshipping them?"

"Well, almost. They should be related..."

Shen Moqing walked into the warehouse and opened the door. It was pitch black inside.

"Hehehe..." A sinister laugh came from outside the window.

"Ah, who is there?" Shen Moqing gave himself courage.

"Is there someone outside the window?" Shen Moqing saw a shadow swaying on the glass outside the window through the moonlight, and it disappeared after a while.

"No, no, if it was a thief, he shouldn't have climbed so high. I must have seen it wrong." Shen Moqing comforted himself.

"Don't think about it anymore, let's find the key quickly." Shen Moqing plucked himself up courage and started searching around in the warehouse.

Soon, a box was found, on which there were gourd locks, mandarin duck locks, horizontal locks...

"How come there are so many locks on this cabinet! Speaking of which... the custom of using mechanical locks in the village seems to have come from the Zangling Village they just mentioned." Shen Moqing muttered to himself, not stopping his work. "Well... it's finally opened."

There was an electric doll in the cabinet. Shen Moqing picked it up and said, "Isn't this the electric doll I played with when I was a child? I still have it." Shen Moqing said with emotion.

The doll in his hand suddenly moved, its limbs dancing wildly, and making a "wa wa" sound.

"It moves...it moves. It can still move after so many years, more than ten years ago. It can't be that it still has power." Shen Moqing was shocked and took apart the doll. "No...no battery." Shen Moqing felt a coldness all around him.

The doll in his hand was motionless, and Shen Moqing searched everywhere on the doll. "Hey, why is there a note between the doll's clothes?"

Shen Moqing opened the note and said, "I sincerely request that Madam Lu give birth to a child. This seems to be the handwriting of my second grandfather."

"What are you doing! Opening my door late at night is murder!" the woman shouted.

"This is Tongtong's voice." Shen Moqing quickly rushed to Wang Jiaotong's room.

"It's because you came to our village tonight that those unclean things have become even more violent." The villagers surrounded Wang Jiaotong and pointed at her.

Shen Moqing's second grandfather also said to everyone in the crowd: "Since the day Moqing told me that he wanted to marry her, there has been no good news in this village!"

"You can tell from his face that he is not a good person!" Some villagers said viciously to Wang Jiaotong.

The villagers gathered together and talked about Wang Jiaotong.

"My brother hasn't laid eggs recently. I guess it's her fault."

"Who says it's not true? My pigs have lost ten pounds!"

"..."

"You...you guys!" Wang Jiaotong felt so aggrieved that she couldn't speak.

"That's enough!" Yubaba stomped her cane a few times to interrupt everyone's discussion.

"Why are you so angry at this little girl? Is that appropriate?" Yubaba said to everyone.

Shen Moqing hurried over and said to Second Grandfather: "Second Grandfather, what's going on?"

"Hey! Mo Qing, don't get involved!" Second Grandpa turned to Granny Tang and said, "Fairy Tang, this woman must be an evil star. She is here to bring disaster to our family. You are a fortune-teller, how come you can't see it?"

"Ridiculous! I am a witch, not a madwoman. I haven't figured it out yet, so why are you slandering a girl?"

"Oh, I won't tell you anymore. You'll know if you exorcise the evil spirit from her, Old Zhao!" Second Grandpa shouted.

"Yeah!" A man in his sixties or seventies among the villagers responded and poured the contents of the basin directly onto Wang Jiaotong.

Shen Moqing shouted, "Hey! What are you going to do!" But it was too late to stop him. The dirty water in the basin had already soaked Wang Jiaotong thoroughly.

"Ah! What is this? My bag is dirty!" Wang Jiaotong's eyes were filled with tears. Today was the day she suffered the greatest injustice in her life.

Shen Moqing hurried over to ask: "Tongtong, are you okay?"

Wang Jiaotong pushed Shen Moqing and said aggrievedly: "How can it be okay?! There is something wrong with this village! The people in this village also have mental problems! I want to go home!" Wang Jiaotong walked out of the village.

Shen Moqing hurried forward and grabbed Wang Jiaotong, but Wang Jiaotong shook Shen Moqing's hand away and continued to walk out of the village angrily.

"Tongtong!" Shen Moqing saw Wang Jiaotong ignored him and continued to walk forward. He turned around helplessly and said to the second grandfather: "Second grandfather! How could you do this? It's too much!"

"I'm doing this for your own good." The second grandfather put his hands behind his back. "Let alone anything else, why are you still concerned about the bag at this time? It's better not to have such a vain woman!"

"No, Tongtong..." Shen Moqing wanted to explain something to his second grandfather, but Wang Jiaotong's voice came from outside: "Shen Moqing!"

"I'm coming!" Shen Moqing shouted outside the yard, then turned to his second grandfather and said, "...Second grandfather, I'll take Tongtong back to the city first and come to see you another day." As he said that, he wanted to go out.

"Wait a minute, Mo Qing, your second grandfather's trick is a bit evil. I'm afraid it will attract some unclean things... Let's write down the contact information. If you encounter anything strange, just find me."

“Yes…” Shen Moqing thought about it and added Yubaba’s phone number.

The second grandfather said at the side: "I... I am exorcising evil spirits, how can I attract any unclean things!"

"Shen Moqing!" Wang Jiaotong shouted again before she saw Shen Moqing come out.

"I'm coming!" Shen Moqing shouted, "Second Grandpa, Yubaba, I'm going back first." Then he ran out.

Shen Moqing drove Wang Jiaotong back home.

Shen Moqing was driving the car and said to Wang Jiaotong, who was sitting in the passenger seat, "Tongtong, my second grandfather has a weird temper and hasn't been in touch with my family for a long time because of a conflict. But he's a very good person, especially to my dad and me, he treats me like his own children and grandchildren."

"Hmph!" Wang Jiaotong snorted and turned her head.

"Okay, Tongtong, don't be angry. Second grandpa is just too superstitious. After he asked me for your photo and horoscope, he said that we are not suitable for each other. I don't know what book he read that from." Shen Moqing comforted.

"Humph, he said that to me, and you still brought me to this damn place? Did you do this on purpose to let your second grandfather show off his power to me?"

"No, Tongtong."

"Hmph, my bag is all dirty. What kind of dirt is this? It can't be washed off, right?"

"I, I didn't expect Second Grandpa to be like this."

"How could you not think of that? That's your second grandfather! Stupid man!"

"Tongtong, I really..." Shen Moqing wanted to explain, but suddenly the car braked suddenly.

Wang Jiaotong almost hit her head. When she recovered, she shouted to Shen Moqing, "Shen Moqing! What are you doing? You almost threw me out."

"I almost hit someone." Shen Moqing took a deep breath.

"Where is there anyone in the wilderness?" Wang Jiaotong was so angry that she slapped Shen Moqing.

Shen Moqing looked carefully, "Hey! No... it's gone? I really saw it just now. There were several people carrying a sedan chair on the road, and they also..." Shen Moqing explained.

"Bridal sedan? Could it be the one we saw outside your second grandfather's house before?" Wang Jiaotong screamed, "Please don't scare me..."

"But... maybe I saw it wrong..." Shen Moqing said doubtfully.

Shen Moqing restarted the car, but it kept slipping. "The wheels seem to be stuck in the mud. I'll go check it out." He said to Wang Jiaotong and got out of the car to check.

"Hmph! Stupid man..." Wang Jiaotong snorted again as she watched Shen Moqing get off the car.

Wang Jiaotong saw a river next to her in the car. Thinking of the stains on her bag, she opened the door, got out and said to Shen Moqing, "I see there is a river next to me. Let's go wash our bag."

"Well, it's quite dark outside, so be careful." Shen Moqing said with concern.

"Yeah." Wang Jiaotong responded and walked towards the river. "I don't know if the bag can be washed clean... This is the first gift Qingqing gave me..."

Wang Jiaotong squatted down, scooped up some water and used it to clean the bag. "Humph, it's all that stupid man's fault!"

Wang Jiaotong washed and washed, but the stain was still there. "Oh! What did those people just splash? It can't be washed away, and it still has a fishy smell."

"Hey? Why did the water turn red? It looks like... a bride's red veil."

"Tongtong, let's go." Shen Moqing shouted from above.

"Oh~" Wang Jiaotong responded and prepared to stand up.

"Hehe...hehe" a strange laughter sounded, and a pair of pale hands suddenly stretched out from the water, grabbed Wang Jiaotong and pulled her into the water.

"Qingqing...ah!"

"Splash!" A sound of someone falling into the water was heard.

"Tongtong! Tongtong!" Shen Moqing came down immediately after hearing this. Looking at Wang Jiaotong sinking into the water, he jumped into the water without thinking.

[I remember that the depth of this river was not even up to the chest, but it is so deep now. Over there!] Shen Moqing thought to himself, but continued to swim towards Wang Jiaotong.

[Hmm! ...Can't pull it up?] Shen Moqing tried hard to pull Wang Jiaotong up but couldn't.

After stopping, he looked at Wang Jiaotong carefully. [What was wrapped around her feet?] Shen Moqing swam over to untie the thing wrapped around her feet, and swam towards the surface with Wang Jiaotong.

He put Wang Jiaotong on the shore, "Tongtong! Tongtong, how are you?"

"Hehe...hehe" a strange laughter sounded, and the sound came and went.

"Who!" Shen Moqing shouted.

“Qingqing…” Wang Jiaotong slowly opened her eyes, “Cold… so cold…”

"Tongtong, hold on, I'll take you home right away! I'll take you home right away!" Shen Moqing hugged Wang Jiaotong tightly and quickly ran to the car. He put Wang Jiaotong in the car and quickly started the car and rushed home.
