Chapter 233 Holding a funeral and attending a wedding banquet

Upon hearing her heart-wrenching cries, Liu Qingyan's face darkened instantly. "Isn't your husband me? What kind of wild man are you mourning for!"

Jiang Nanxi paused in her sobbing, rested her head on the ground, and secretly said into her phone, "An old man died in this village, and the funeral hall has been set up for several months without him being buried."

It's said that women who have mourned for him often suffer accidents or die mysteriously. Leng Huaixin called me over to see what's going on!

Liu Qingyan said coldly, "Send me the address!"

Jiang Nanxi: "Why would I send you this? You can't come here to mourn. They only want women."

Liu Qingyan: "Send it to me!"

Jiang Nanxi: "Tell the director that I'm taking the day off tonight and won't be filming for now. I'll come back to film tomorrow. Don't come, I'll pack some food for you when I get back."

Liu Qingyan: "Send it to me!"

Jiang Nanxi: "Where's your tape recorder?"

Liu Qingyan: "I'll use a bulldozer to bulldoze this old man to death!"

Jiang Nanxi: ? ? ?

At Liu Qingyan's insistence, Jiang Nanxi sent the address to Liu Qingyan.

Liu Qingyan asked the director for leave, and after taking leave, she went to the village on the west side of the island to find Jiang Nanxi.

He's going to scatter that old bastard's ashes!
Jiang Nanxi continued to wail. The first round of wailing was over, but dinner could not begin until midnight.

It was supposed to be dinner, but it was actually a late-night snack.

After she finished crying, she squatted outside the yard and chatted with Leng Huaixin. "Who starts a banquet at midnight? This old man's funeral has been going on for several months. There's obviously something wrong with it."

However, there is one advantage for her.

That means she finished crying and digested her food, and then had a late-night snack when she got hungry in the evening!
"It's not just a problem, it's a huge problem!"

Leng Huaixin said, "During this period, they hired a lot of outsiders to mourn, both men and women. It is said that the old man had no children left behind, but he liked lively gatherings, so they hired people to mourn and send him off."

Strangely, the men who came to mourn were all fine, but the women all died mysteriously! More than ten have died so far!

"so much?"

"Yes, that's why it caught the attention of the Psionic Bureau, and we came to the island to investigate!"

Jiang Nanxi stroked her chin and asked, "Did they all die in the yard? Or did they die at home?"

“They died back home. If they had died in the courtyard, no one would have come here.”

"That's true."

As the two were squatting by the door discussing, they saw a young girl walking towards them.

There were guards at the entrance to the courtyard. The girl came over and asked, "Is it free to eat here? I haven't eaten for three days. Can I go in and get something to eat?"

"OK."

The villager replied, "But if you want to eat, you have to mourn the old man, and after you finish mourning, you can eat when the feast starts at midnight."

"Okay, okay!" the girl said excitedly. "Then I'll go in right now and mourn for the old man!"

Just as the villagers were about to let her in, Jiang Nanxi came over and pulled the girl away.

Leng Huaixin also chimed in, "Girl, this family is a bit strange. You shouldn't eat here; you should go back to your own home for dinner!"

The girl frowned and said, "But...but I had a fight with my mom, and she won't give me any food. I haven't eaten for three days." The girl looked young, probably only in high school, so Leng Huaixin advised, "Go back and apologize to her. She's your mother, after all. She wouldn't just watch you starve to death."

Eating here is free, but it's dangerous. Something bad might happen later!

"She's not my mom! She hasn't let me eat for three days!" the girl complained. "I've already decided that if I eat my fill here today, I'll run away from the island and find work!"

Jiang Nanxi asked, "Why isn't your mother feeding you?"

The girl pouted and said, "I don't want to go to school, but she insists on forcing me. I missed a week of school, and she said I would starve to death if I didn't go."

Jiang Nanxi then asked, "You're only in high school at your age, right? What would you do if you didn't go to school?"

The girl said, "I want to get married, to marry a rich man, so he can give me all his money to spend, and then I won't have to go to school or work."

Leng Huaixin couldn't help but say, "Young lady, your thinking is wrong. No one wants to spend money on others casually. Being a stay-at-home mom who has to be subservient to others isn't easy. You have to be mindful of other people's feelings when you're getting money."

"But I have a classmate who dropped out of school. Her family arranged a marriage for her, and her husband's family is very rich."

After she got married, she moved into a big villa and drove luxury cars, able to buy whatever she wanted every day. When I want some pocket money to buy stickers at home, my mom won't even give me any!

Jiang Nanxi complained, "Even if you don't go to school now and run away from home, you still won't be able to marry a rich man."

The girl said, "I'll go out and work to support myself first. I'll eventually find a chance to marry a rich man."

Jiang Nanxi continued, "What if a rich man is very ugly, fat, and old? Would you still marry him?"

Although she also liked rich people, Jiang Nanxi suddenly realized that she still had her bottom line every time she saw the ugly side of some rich people.

She simply couldn't accept being ugly!
The girl also hesitated.

At this moment, the villager who was guarding the gate came over and said with dissatisfaction, "What nonsense are you two talking about? She just wants to have a free meal, why are you stopping her?"

Old Master Xu loved doing good deeds, and he'd love for more people to come to his wedding. You two, stop causing trouble and get out of the way!

After the villager finished speaking, he grabbed the girl and pulled her into the courtyard, saying, "Come in and mourn. You can kneel down in the mourning hall and cry. After you're done crying, wait in the courtyard. We'll serve you dinner at noon sharp!"

"Okay, I'll go right away!"

Leng Huaixin saw it from outside the courtyard and was about to go in to stop the girl from crying, but Jiang Nanxi stopped him.

Jiang Nanxi said, "Don't go. That child isn't quite right in the head. Let her suffer a little so she'll know how wonderful it is to study."

"What do you mean?"

Leng Huaixin was a little confused. "This doesn't seem like suffering, does it? This is a matter of life and death. Although this girl's thoughts are not normal, she is still a human life."

Jiang Nanxi grinned, "Doesn't she want to get married? We can make her marry a rich old man tonight."

"Where did this rich old man come from to marry her?"

Jiang Nanxi gestured towards the direction of the mourning hall with her lip, "Isn't there one there? It's said that the old master of the Xu family did business outside the island before he died, and he was quite wealthy, so his treatment after death must have been quite good!"

Leng Huaixin paused, suddenly remembering something the villager guarding the gate had said earlier.

"Old Master Xu has always loved doing good deeds, and he'd love for more people to come to his wedding banquet."

He was referring to a wedding banquet, not a funeral banquet!
Why a wedding banquet?
A while ago, all the women who came here to mourn died. Could it be related to this wedding banquet?!

"Could it be the old man's ghost marriage?!"

Leng Huaixin said in shock.

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Nanxi was about to reply when she suddenly heard a malicious voice beside her.
