    "Need lodging?" The old woman grinned, revealing sparse, black teeth. "There's no inn ahead, no village behind. Young master, why not have a bowl of wedding wine before you go?" Qiu Wuyai didn't take the bowl, only asking, "Old lady, have you ever seen a few horsemen in straw raincoats?" The old woman's smile froze on her face, and the red thread snapped. She stared at Qiu Wuyai's bundle, her cloudy eyes trembling slightly: "You brought something unclean." A night wind suddenly rose, and the earthenware bowls on the millstone clattered together, spilling wine on the ground, which was as viscous as blood. The old woman suddenly grabbed Qiu Wuyai's wrist, her nails almost digging into his flesh: "Walking in pairs, returning home, you can't escape..." Before she finished speaking, the lanterns at the village entrance suddenly went out all at once. In the darkness, a creaking sound came from afar—like someone's door slowly opening. The old woman's hand was as cold as ice. Qiu Wuyai abruptly pulled his wrist back, taking two steps back, only to find that the surrounding darkness was so thick it couldn't be dissolved. A musty, musty smell wafted in the wind, mixed with a faint fishy odor, like a coffin that hadn't been opened for years suddenly being pried open. "Who's there?" He whispered, his hand already on his peachwood sword. No one answered. Behind the open door in the distance, a faint red light flickered. Qiu Wuyai squinted, seeing a pale white lantern emerge from the doorway. A large "" (double happiness) character was written in vermilion on the lantern's paper, but the candlelight was an eerie, ghostly green. Behind the lantern was a red sedan chair. The curtain moved slightly, lifting a corner without wind. Qiu Wuyai's breath caught in his throat—inside the sedan chair sat a woman in a wedding dress, her veil lowered, her hands clasped on her knees. Her hands were deathly pale, almost transparent, but her nails were jet black, as if soaked in ink. "Pillow…give me back…"
