Under the candlelight, Xu's long and thin face seemed to have been stretched into a horse face.
The cheekbones seemed to have formed shadows, and the aquiline nose was even more terrifying, especially his long and narrow eyes that looked like fox eyes, narrowed into slits.
The paper man Xu Miao looks scary, but it's because you're a little familiar with him, and his smiling expression all the time, that you can get along with him normally without fear.
His expression at this moment made me shudder.
Moreover, his expression changed, and the paper bundles seemed to come alive, trembling, as if sinister laughter was constantly coming from the room.
"Xu...Uncle Xu..." My throat was dry.
The paper man agreed, and he suddenly said: "Shui Mo Lane? No. 3 Courtyard?" I nodded.
Immediately afterwards, the paper man Xu suddenly sat down. He pulled out the bottom of the pile of paper on the table. Normally it was white paper, but what he pulled out this time turned out to be a piece of blackened paper. .
Then he said nothing and kept moving his hands, making paper ties quickly.
This actually made me confused. I wanted to ask him, but I didn't dare to interrupt.
At this moment, the curtain leading to the yard at the back on the other side of the shop was opened.
It was the second uncle who walked out. He was stroking his bare head with one hand and holding a bottle of Lao Baigan in the other hand.
The centipede scar on his face looked hideous and red due to the drunkenness.
"Yin Yang?" The second uncle also looked surprised.
However, he glanced at the paper man Xu from the corner of his eye, and his expression changed slightly.
His eyes, which were originally slightly drunk and hazy, suddenly became full of surprise and suspicion.
"Yin Yang!" The second uncle's voice was much lower, and he waved to me quickly, his tone still a bit urgent.
I walked over immediately, but my second uncle grabbed my wrist and pulled me directly into the yard.
He was really strong and his grip hurt me.
I couldn't understand the second uncle's reaction even more, and the second uncle's face was also extremely solemn.
After entering the backyard, the second uncle turned back and glanced at the door curtain. He seemed to be frightened and said: "I don't know who provoked the paper man Xu. He came out with a black shadow. If a ghost sees this thing, it has to be removed." A layer of skin…”
"In the past few years, Xu Xu has opened a paper figurine shop, and his mentality has become much more stable. He usually sells ordinary paper figurines to make a living. Sometimes he picks up graves to get some materials for paper figurines. It has been a long time since he made such a fierce thing. ”
"He has no limits when it comes to his ferocity. You have to avoid him." My second uncle explained to me carefully.
However, he still muttered a few words, almost wondering how the paper man was stimulated to do such a vicious thing. There was more sweat on my forehead, but I subconsciously turned my head and looked at the curtain of the front bunk.
My second uncle’s words have already made me understand.
Maybe the paper man is angry and wants to deal with the man who took off my clothes?
I took a deep breath and told what happened just now.
The second uncle was obviously taken aback when he heard this, and his expression became even more uncertain.
Then he let out a breath, shook his head and said, "That makes sense. If he didn't handle this matter properly, I would throw all his paper bundles into the river." I was slightly embarrassed.
The second uncle's attitude clearly means that this matter should be settled by Xu Xuan on paper, but in fact this is the trouble caused by me...
I was about to speak and explain a few words, but my second uncle changed the topic and asked me how my trip was.
At the same time, he frowned and his tone was a bit serious, telling me not to make any decisions next time and to work alone. If I ran into trouble, there wouldn't even be anyone to help me.
My second uncle's concern touched my heart a little.
By now my mind had calmed down. While telling him about what happened at Zhu's house, I walked to the table in the courtyard. After putting down the backpack, I opened the big black wooden box.
Of course, I didn't forget to open the lid and let the chicken come out and move around.
I quickly took out everything from the big black wooden box.
I carried the money and small yellow croakers that we had saved in the past few days in a cloth bag and placed them at the end of the table.
The other is the single large yellow croaker.
Under the reflection of the moonlight, the large yellow croaker was slightly reflective and appeared unusually thick.
The second uncle swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his Adam's apple rolled, and after a long while, he squeezed out the word "fuck".
He stretched out his hand and touched the big yellow croaker. The second uncle picked it up again, took a bite on the corner, and then said: "This trip is really worth it, big yellow croaker. I have the money to do things with my husband." ! The Zhu family has a good foundation, Yin and Yang, this matter should be handled decently!"
Until now, the second uncle was smiling all over his face.
He suddenly patted me on the shoulder again and said mysteriously: "I'll bury you old man later, and my second uncle will take you to a good place!" I didn't know the reason about that good place, and I didn't even have the intention to go. think.
Now all I can think about is collecting enough money, so I quickly go to Hejia Village to find the ghost woman, and invite my husband to bury my father.
He fell off the cliff that day, and he doesn't know what happened to his body now.
The people in the village have become like that under the leadership of Lao Litou, and they are even more disgusted with my family. If they do something else, or let my father kill a few people, then my father will really do it. Suffer great sin.
The mother-child evil causes people to be unable to reincarnate, and it is almost the same as normal dead people.
While thinking, I pursed my lips and said in a hoarse voice: "Second uncle, can we go to Hejiacun tomorrow?"
The second uncle nodded at first, then frowned and said: "It's better to go. In the past two days, I have also gone to take orders, and the price negotiated is not bad. I just told the owner that I will wait for you to come back."
"This..." My face was stiff. It was normal for my second uncle to pick up things. He didn't know that I made enough money in one trip.
But for me, if I can’t do my dad’s things right away even with money, that would be heartburn...
If I wait for a long time, I won’t be able to bear it anymore.
The second uncle lowered his head to think. He took a sip of wine, shook his head and said, "But your old man had to wait a few months before he agreed to the matter. It's okay for us to wait a few more days." His tone became solemn at this point. Quite a few, let me go back to the room to have a good rest, and go to Hejia Village to see the ghost woman tomorrow.
After a pause, my second uncle warned me carefully and said, "Yin Yang, you have to be extremely careful. Compared with the guy who begs for your clothes, he is actually a lot worse than the dog who begs for your things twice."
"When we go back to the village, you still have to meet that ghost. This death-seeking dog is different from before. He may be able to use any tricks. You must be vigilant."
I nodded my head with a serious look on my face, assuring my second uncle that I would be careful not to cause any trouble this time.
The second uncle then said yes and asked me to go back to the room to rest.
I went back to the room. Although the room was cold and cold, when I got here, I felt a lot more friendly.
Although Paperman Xu has only lived in this courtyard twice, it gives people a sense of peace of mind.
When I suddenly felt this way, I was a little uncomfortable at first, but thinking about the fierce paper tie made by the paper man Xu just now, and what my second uncle said, I calmed down a lot.
Although the paper man Xu looks sinister and rarely talks when doing things, he really helped my second uncle and me a lot.
Lying on the bed, fatigue suddenly swept over me.
I drifted off to sleep.
But this time, almost as soon as I closed my eyes, I had a dream.
Moreover, this dream was particularly cold and weird. There was mottled mist all around me, and I was walking on a corpse boat floating on the water.
Even in the dream, it was extremely depressing.
There seemed to be many corpses floating on the water that could not be seen clearly. Those corpses were approaching the ship, but they seemed to be blocked by invisible forces and could not get closer.
I originally wanted the boat to dock, and I was still very anxious.
In this dream, I also wanted to return to the village to resolve my father’s funeral.
But the strange thing is that my boat keeps spinning in place and can't move forward at all.
I was anxious and wanted to use bamboo poles to punt the boat.
As a result, I went to grab the bamboo pole and caught a cold hand. I was shocked and frightened.
Turning his head, he saw a blue face.
This is a woman's face, and it looks familiar.
Her eyes were all blue, and she stared at me blankly, but the emotion that penetrated me in her eyes was still sadness...
"Danger... don't..." The faint tone echoed in my consciousness.
I was so excited that I felt as if I had fallen into an ice cellar, and my dreams were shattered...
