Ghost Bride

  Wearing the red wedding dress prepared by her mother, smelling the pungent smell of blood, Wang Rui endured the nausea in her heart and walked forward step by step.

  Every step she took, her heart would violently tremble.

  Who gets married like this? Wearing a wedding dress made of blood, not to mention getting married in the middle of the night. Behind her, except for her parents holding two red lanterns, there was no one else.

  Tonight, everything seems unusually quiet.

  In the past nights, there might have been some insect calls. But tonight, it's unusually quiet.

  Today is her birthday and also the day she gets married. On such a doubly joyful day, Wang Ruike however feels an unspeakable fear.

  That old mansion, she wasn't unaware. Every time she walked by that road, her heart would feel a chill, as if someone was there, but in fact, no one was around. The abandoned and worn-out state of everything made it clear that it had been deserted for a long time. If you said someone was there, who would believe it?

  All the way, the Wang couple didn't say a word. At this time, how could they speak, and what could they say? The words were full, but they could only swallow them in their stomachs.

  "Cocoa, from now on you'll be married into another family, so you must listen to them. After you get married, don't forget to come back and visit your parents often." The two of them stopped about 100 meters away from the old house and stood there, saying this to their daughter in front of them.

  Wang Rui couldn't understand it. Weren't Dad and Mom here to see us off? But why did they stop before we even arrived? What's going on?

  "Mom, you..."

  "Go, child, go by yourself." After saying that, the couple turned around and left without looking back at the person standing there.

  The daughter married into this kind of place, they were also unwilling. But they had no choice, they didn't want the child to leave.

  Watching his parents leave, Wang Rui became more and more afraid. Everything around him was so gloomy and lifeless. In the dark space, he was alone, yet it seemed like there were many people. He wanted to speak, wanted to shout to his dad and mom, but found that he couldn't make a sound either.

  At 12 o'clock sharp, not a minute late, not a second late, that's what her father and mother said before she left, she didn't forget. Wanting to turn back was no longer possible, today she must get married.

  No room for maneuver, can only grit one's teeth and move forward.

  Although it was only 100 meters, Wang Rui felt as if she had run for a century. Fear crept into her heart, and she always felt like there were countless hands behind her that would grab her in the next second. The faster she walked, even if her shoes fell off, she still kept moving forward.

  The wind howled in her ear, like a furious roar. Barefoot, Wang Rui just ran wildly like this, even with the most familiar voice behind her, she didn't stop. No, it should be said that she simply couldn't stop.

  In front of the old mansion, Wang Rui stopped in his tracks, his hand gently stroking the two blurry characters. He muttered to himself, "I'm here."

  "Creak..." The door slowly opened, the rotten sound declaring that it could collapse at any time. Already frightened, this kind of sound made Wang Rui shrink back even more.

  The house was brightly lit, as if to welcome her arrival. In front of the door, two long strings of big red lanterns hung down from the beam above, like pillars.

  Before me, it is still a sea of red, even the light is blood-red.

  Gritting his teeth, Wang Rui was able to walk in.

  No matter what happens next, she will marry into this uninhabited old mansion.
