As the last bell rang, the paper figures standing in two rows came to life in an instant.
They all turned their heads in unison, as if looking for something.
After they couldn't find the target, they moved toward the door of the store mechanically.
The blood-red eyes stared at the "thousands of lights" outside, and the pale face was full of yearning and expectation.
He looked like an evil ghost who had been holding back for a long time, looking greedily at the world.
I want to struggle out of hell and enjoy blood food.
When the big yellow dog saw this, he was so frightened that he whimpered softly and backed away.
When he was almost back to the door, he finally mustered up the courage to stop in front of the paper man.
Although he stopped him, he didn't dare to knock him down. He just held the paper man's legs hard to prevent him from moving toward the door.
It's a pity that there are too many paper figures. The big yellow dog can stop one but cannot stop a group.
After a short effort, most of the paper figures were not far from the store door.
At the same time, their pale faces became increasingly greedy.
Seeing this scene, the big yellow dog seemed to become desperate: he simply stood outside the door and roared loudly at the paper man.
Even though he is strong on the outside and weak on the inside, he has still tried his best.
Fortunately, when the first paper man was about to leave the store, the life-or-death line that stopped Grandma Mi appeared again on a rainy night.
After the paper man stepped on it, he immediately screamed and retreated.
When the other paper figures saw this scene, they immediately stopped where they were, hesitating and not daring to step forward.
The line between life and death separates life and death. The living people outside cannot enter, and the "dead people" inside naturally cannot come out easily...
The sudden change not only relieved Big Yellow Dog, but also Shopkeeper Sun and Granny Wenmi who were hiding in the dark.
Of course, in order to avoid shocking the world, shopkeeper Sun at this time wore a pair of wide sunglasses to cover his eyes that were invaded by corpse mud.
The two elders looked at each other and then at the sky, their voices still worried.
"Where did that child go?!"
"Without the life and death of a five-ghost boy like him, I might not be able to stop the thing behind the paper man with just a life-and-death line!"
Facts have proved that the worries of the second elder are not unnecessary.
About half an hour later, the melancholy and ethereal Peking Opera singing suddenly came from the empty paper shop.
"I heard ghosts howling while I was sleeping, which was terrifying. When I looked up, I saw all the ghosts. The cold wind penetrated my body and fanned me, and my heart was so cold that it was terrifying..."
Hearing this singing, the coffin shop manager Sun and Granny Wenmi turned pale instantly.
"Big, big thing is bad, he, they really woke up!"
Before he finished speaking, the two dolls that Zhao Youliang offered incense to every day suddenly opened their eyes.
One pair is pale green, the other is pale.
Then, as if they were weightless, they all floated down from the standing coffin.
After landing, he still floated towards the door.
The chains that locked them dragged on the ground behind them, making a clattering sound.
When the paper people saw the two puppets resurrected, they were so frightened that they immediately stood aside and made way for the road paved with yellow paper in the middle.
With lowered eyebrows and submissive eyes, he was like a eunuch who saw the emperor.
Just when Shopkeeper Sun and Granny Mi were hesitating to try their best to stop the two dolls, they suddenly stopped.
At the same time, the "life and death line" that separated the inside and outside of the store reappeared.
"Fortunately, okay, fortunately they are not evil enough to cross the gate of life and death!"
Granny Wenmi said while patting her chest with her hands.
Shopkeeper Sun also slowly put down the hammer and coffin nails that he was holding tightly: "Although we can't get out for the time being, it won't be an option in the long run..."
The second elder may have been too nervous, or maybe the old-fashioned light bulb in the paper shop was too dim, and he did not notice that what prevented the puppet from coming out was not the "life and death line", but a hand that suddenly stretched out from the coffin.
At this time, this hand was firmly holding the chain, no matter how hard the two dolls struggled, it was useless.
After seeing this hand, the paper people felt like a mouse meeting a cat, and even closed their blood-red eyes tightly.
He looked like he wished he hadn't painted the eyes at all...
At this weird moment, a "piercing" bicycle bell suddenly pierced the night sky.
When he looked up, he saw Zhao Youliang smashing through the "two-eight big bars" and heading towards the paper shop very fast.
He didn't even have time to brake, but jumped off the bike.
Let the "two-eight big bars" hit the wall and fall into the muddy rain.
"Oh, I'm not late, am I? Nothing evil happened, right?!"
Shopkeeper Sun and Granny Wenmi were hiding in the dark and did not want to reveal their identities, so they ignored Zhao Youliang.
The big yellow dog can't speak, so naturally it can't answer Zhao Youliang...
The moment Zhao Youliang hurriedly entered the paper shop, something magical happened:
I saw that the paper man and the puppet all returned to their positions instantly, as if they had never moved.
And the hand stretched out from the coffin disappeared.
Zhao Youliang couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief when he saw that everything was normal.
Then he hurriedly called the confused big yellow dog back to his den and hurriedly closed the store door.
When they were putting incense on the two dolls according to the rules, Zhao Youliang felt that something was wrong with them today for some reason.
Not only the two dolls, but also the entire paper shop seemed to have changed...becoming colder.
"Oh, let me go, what's going on?!"
While Zhao Youliang was thinking about it, he hurriedly walked towards his hut when he suddenly felt something pinching his feet.
He lowered his head and picked it up, only to find several blood-red coffin nails.
The coffin nails that were originally nailed to the coffin at the feet of the doll...
On the other side, shopkeeper Sun and Granny Wenmi saw that the crisis was over and quietly left the vicinity of the paper shop.
Before they were leaving, Grandma Mi suddenly asked, "Uncle Sun, how many young people is he coming to the shop?"
Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Sun's already dull face became more solemn.
"It's the ninth one. Nine is the ultimate number... If you can suppress it, then you can suppress it. If you can't suppress it..."
"Oh, by the way, sister, can you tell what kind of boy Youliang is?"
"It shouldn't be simple. An ordinary boy's life should never let the things inside be so taboo!"
Granny Wenmi slowly shook her head when she heard this: "I can't tell!"
"Old lady, I am very shallow and can't tell at all."
"But look at this posture, at least he is a boy in front of a big shot."
The explanation of "child's fate" is very complicated, and each family has its own family.
It is generally believed that the so-called boy's fate is a boy who was surrounded by various gods in temples and temples in his previous life.
For example, maids and servants who serve tea, pour water, sweep the floor, etc., remain children throughout their lives.
Later, he was reincarnated as a human for various reasons, including wanting to be a mortal, escaping, making mistakes and being punished, having a special mission, etc.
Because a person born as a child does not belong to this world, he may be recalled midway, that is, he may die young.
It is also possible that although you are not brought back, your life has been bumpy and bumpy, you are always busy and work hard, and you are either sick or suffering from disasters, and you are faced with many obstacles and it is difficult to achieve success.
Another typical feature is that it is difficult to get married, and even if it does happen, there are many disagreements between husband and wife. In short, it is called "unlucky".
