When He Zhi took action, I naturally observed the surroundings vigilantly.
The sky is getting darker and darker, and I can barely see my fingers...
The night is darkest before dawn!
After He Fei finished spreading the powder and slowly retreated to my side, I discovered that there was a faint mist rising from the back door.
I can't tell whether this is the fog caused by He Pheasant's tricks, or whether it is foggy in the early morning.
"It's almost dawn. These powders are made from dead people's fingernails, with baby hair added to them. My grandpa left them for me in the past, and they will definitely attract dead people to my door."
"It's too late to provoke any evil creatures today. Tomorrow, this yard will be busy."
After listening to He Zhi's explanation carefully, I reached out to hold her wrist and quickly left the mansion.
By the time we went around to another street, it was already dark and there were people starting to walk on the road.
The breakfast shops were all open, white smoke was rising from the steamers, and the noodle stalls were standing.
The fishermen and boatmen who got up early to work, some hurriedly walked towards the dock, and some were still eating at the stalls, shouting and drinking, it was very lively.
I took He Pheasant to sit at a stall and asked for some food.
I haven’t had hot porridge for a long time, and after one sip, I really felt that my whole body felt a lot warmer.
"Let's eat. Let's go shopping when it gets daylight. You buy some rouge and gouache. We'll go back after noon." I said in a normal tone.
He Fei was also like a girl from an ordinary family, showing a somewhat surprised smile.
The reason why I have to wait until noon is because I want to be sure. I have to see if those households do what I say. If not, I have to think of countermeasures.
After dinner, it was getting bright.
He Zhi took me to visit many shops, not just rouge and gouache, but also tailor shops.
She selected a lot of fabrics, described the sizes to the store, and measured them for me.
It was only at the end that He Fei said that she had asked the store to make several outfits, and her second uncle had many paper figures, and it was time to replace the Tang suit I was wearing.
In a blink of an eye, it was noon. While we were shopping, we went to Huo's house, which is where Tangfu is now.
When I arrived at the place, I happened to see someone climbing to the edge of the courtyard wall at the corner and fixing a piece of wood as thick as a forearm with a sharp top.
The person working was a man, not the woman from last night. I felt a lot calmer.
Then, we continued walking forward as if nothing had happened.
The remaining two different locations have been placed with corresponding objects according to my requirements!
Then I walked towards the pier with He Fei.
He Fei had many small packages hanging on her shoulders, and she kept smiling like a flower.
When I got to the pier, I started looking among the crowd.
Not long after, I found Xie Mancang and raised my hand to call him over.
When he got closer, his expression suddenly became excited, and he said repeatedly: "Mr. Li, Miss He, I got up early and went to the funeral street, but Liu Laoguan said that you haven't gotten up yet and asked me to go at night. Why don't you come and find me?" ?”
Only then did I know that Xie Mancang had been to Funeral Street.
However, I remained calm and did not answer his question. I just asked He Zhi to take out thirty-five yuan, and then told Xie Mancang about three locations and asked him to send the money over.
I told Xie Mancang not to ask or tell anything extra.
Xie Mancang nodded repeatedly and said that it would be done, and then he reported that he had given the banknote given by He Fei to Huang Qi's mother, but the old man was too sad, but fortunately Huang Qi's wife could take care of it.
I felt complicated, nodded, and said that if anything happens to the Huang family, I should go to Funeral Street to notify them immediately.
After Xie Mancang bowed to me again and thanked me, he turned around to run the errand I gave him.
He Zhi and I also returned to the paper shop.
At this time, the shop was open, and Xu, the paper man, did not go to rest, but spent the first time making paper during the day. He only had one arm left, which was already very inconvenient.
The second uncle sat next to him, tapping his fingers on the table, and rarely drank.
After we entered, the second uncle immediately closed the door in a hurry.
He motioned for us to sit down and talk about the situation. How did things go?
I simply told my second uncle that I had already set up a haunted house, but whether the haunted house would be effective or not would take time and we couldn't rush it.
The second uncle nodded, and he asked a little worriedly: "This haunted house will not harm Shuangqin, right?" Obviously, Shuangqin is the woman that the second uncle likes.
I pondered for a moment and replied that the haunted house affected everyone living there, but the main injury was the head of the family, that is, the warlord.
The second uncle frowned and sat on the chair, with obvious uneasiness in his eyes.
I persuaded my second uncle a few words, saying that the severe injuries were not fatal. Once I dealt with the warlord and left the house, everything would be fine.
Paperman Xu then knocked on the table hard, frowned and said, "Second uncle, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, they must believe me now."
Then, Paperman Xu asked me, what should I do with the gentleman in the villa outside the city?
I nodded and said that I had already thought about it. First, I would arrange it in the surrounding mountains and water to hedge against the gentleman in the villa, and then I would go and visit him.
The paper man Xu's pupils tightened and he said unnaturally: "What if he finds out and takes action first?"
I told Xu, the paper man, that I would definitely use very cruel means to deal with this gentleman. I would invite evil corpses or ghosts into the house, and try to ensure that no one could stop him except him alone.
In this way, when I came to visit him, he was the only one I saw!
Paperman Xu's expression relaxed a lot.
I thought about it for a moment and said that He Zhi and I would do it later, and we couldn't delay it for too long, because if something happened to Tang Mansion, someone would definitely be sent to the villa to ask for Mr.
Xu, the second uncle's friend, immediately nodded and said yes.
After pondering for a while, I told my second uncle and the paper man Xu that when I set off later, they would also set off and guard the main road outside the city.
If that gentleman returns to the city early, we also know that if he is not accompanied by a large soldier with a gun, he will be detained directly.
After saying that, I told them again that if someone on the other side has a gun, they can't take action. We can look for another opportunity!
Xu, the paper man, sighed slightly in his eyes. He took a long breath and said: "Yin Yang's thinking methods are really rigorous. I have a method now. Lady He's paper skin has corpse poison on it. They made a dirty move. When your second uncle and I were guarding the road, we naturally had some dirty tricks."
I was shocked, and while nodding my head, I still told them to be careful in everything.
After the conversation was almost over, the paper figure Xu stood up and said that he would go to the backyard to drink some sophora porridge and get ready before we set off.
Soon, a few of us arrived in the backyard. Paperman Xu went to get the porridge pot, and He Pheasant helped to make the porridge.
He Zhi just handed me the porridge bowl, and I held it in my hand ready to drink.
The old chicken flopped onto my shoulder from somewhere. Its head was stretched out, but blood was bleeding from its comb.
Drop by drop of black and red cockscomb blood fell into my porridge bowl...
