The ancestors of the Lu family have been making paper for seven generations, and the rule is "only make things for the dead, and never tie the lives of living people."
In 1998, the day Lu Zhaoyan took over the ancestral "Zhizhi Directory", there was a sedan chair under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village that no one had ordered before.
When the sedan curtain was lifted, the bride sitting inside was wearing a wedding dress that he had tied himself - but he had just burned that wedding dress to an unknown grave yesterday.
What's even more frightening is that people in the village say that the bride's face looks very much like Qin Jiang, who committed suicide by drowning in the river three years ago, and her body has not yet been found.
Once the shady marriage contract is concluded, it lasts for three years. After three years, it is not up to him to choose whether the paper man will die on behalf of the groom or whether the groom will be buried with the dowry.
This is not a wedding of one person, but a debt that has been hidden for thirty years by an entire village.
Reader comments
The success of "The Dark Marriage Contract" lies in the fact that it accurately captures the core of traditional horror: awe of the unknown and a glimpse of the dark side of human nature. The supernatural elements in the novel are not just a tool to scare people, but also a container that carries historical scars, family tragedies and the inner entanglements of the characters. The author cleverly uses the environment (such as an ancient house, a deserted town, and a fog) as part of the narrative, making it a malicious character in itself. The narrative rhythm is relaxed and relaxed, laying the foundation for uneasiness in the calm daily life, and the emotional catharsis brought about by the final detonation is particularly strong. This is not only a horror story, but also a psychological drama about memory, sin and redemption.
This is a thrilling journey that goes deep into your bones. The author weaves an airtight web of fear with exquisite writing, every detail seems to be whispering, and every turn makes people's hearts stop. Even after reading it for a long time, I still feel like something is watching you from the shadows.
I give it 5 points, but I don't have much education. The surname of Qin is Qin [laughing][laughing][laughing]
