This paper man can learn to speak!
ah! ! !
I let out a miserable scream, then my eyes went black, and I fell backwards. I don't know what happened next.
When I woke up again, it was still dark outside the window. Mr. Wang was sitting beside my bed. When he saw me waking up, he scolded me and said, "You are crazy. You can't sleep on the bed properly at night." , why are you sleeping in the yard and not afraid of dying from the cold?
Although it is very cold at night in summer and you will not die from the cold, fever and colds are very common.
But this is not the point, because Mr. Wang's words instantly reminded me of last night's experience. I was so frightened that I pointed at the window and said incoherently, paper man... head... voice... open the door...
When Mr. Wang heard this, he reached out and touched my forehead, then frowned and said to himself, "Is my skull burned out?" It shouldn't be. I've only been away for ten minutes. I might get a fever right then?
I was stunned when I heard this, and then I realized that Mr. Wang saw me lying in the yard when he came back from Chen Guzi's house. So I hurriedly asked Mr. Wang, when you came back, didn’t you see the paper man standing at the door?
Mr. Wang shook his head and said, "If you don't get a piece of shit, where will the paper man come from?"
Let me tell you, there is a paper man standing at the door and knocking on the door, and his voice is exactly like yours!
When Mr. Wang heard this, his face turned ugly instantly, and he quickly asked me, "Are you going to respond?"
Let me tell you, I first asked who it was.
I saw that Mr. Wang was obviously relieved after hearing what I said.
He asked, what on earth is going on?
So I told him exactly what happened.
To be honest, even though Mr. Wang is right next to me, when I think of the scene where the paper man stares and reaches out in front of me, my scalp feels numb and a cold sweat breaks out on my back.
It wasn’t just me, I saw Mr. Wang’s body visibly shaking after hearing my words, and his face froze for several seconds. Needless to say, he was frightened too.
Mr. Wang was silent for a while, then frowned and asked me, are you sure you saw the paper man knocking on the door?
I nodded firmly, and then Mr. Wang's brows furrowed even more. He whispered in a low voice, "When I came here just now, I didn't see the paper man. I only saw you sleeping in the yard."
Let me ask you, could it be that it saw you coming and ran away?
The thought of the paper man having a mind of his own made my scalp tingle again.
Mr. Wang shook his head and said he couldn't figure it out.
After the room was silent for a while, Mr. Wang suddenly cursed and asked me, "Did you see that paper man's head that I crushed under my feet?"
I nodded, looking extremely sure.
Seeing me nodding, Mr. Wang's brows almost turned into the character "Sichuan". He raised his head and looked at me and said, I took the paper man's head to the river and burned it with my own hands, so logically it shouldn't appear again.
I asked why she appeared in the yard and stared at me with squinting eyes and smiled.
Mr. Wang said angrily, "You ask me, which one should I ask?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open, and a cold and stunning face appeared in front of us against the moonlight.
I saw her leaning against the door frame, weakly throwing something into the room, and then said to me very weakly, "Go to the back mountain and chop some bamboo."
As soon as she finished speaking, she fell to the ground, then looked at Mr. Wang and said, you should know what to do now, right?
After saying that, Wu Tinghan closed his eyes again and fainted again.
Mr. Wang and I hurriedly helped her go to the opposite room to lie down, then came out and closed the door.
After Mr. Wang added three pillars of fragrance to her door, I asked him immediately, do you know what she meant?
Mr. Wang went back to his room and picked up the thing. After looking at it, he told me that he didn’t know it before, but now he knows it.
Only then did I see clearly that the thing was actually the judge pen that Wu Tinghan had hidden in his sleeve!
Isn't this Wu Tinghan's personal weapon? Why did you throw it away so casually?
I asked Mr. Wang, what did she mean?
Mr. Wang said, I'm afraid I won't have enough time, and I can't explain it clearly for a while. You go cut the bamboo first, and I will explain it to you slowly later.
My home is at the foot of a mountain, and the hillside behind the house is covered with bamboos. It is said that they were planted by my grandfather when he was young. When I was a child, I loved playing hide-and-seek with my grandfather in this bamboo forest. As I grew older, I also liked to listen to the sound of rain hitting bamboo leaves.
If it had been before, I would have gone there in a hurry. But after experiencing these things during this period, I didn't dare to go out at night, let alone go to the back mountain to chop bamboo.
Besides, I don’t know where the paper man knocking on the door has gone. If it is hiding in the bamboo forest, wouldn’t it be wrong if I go there so rashly...
I told Mr. Wang, how about you help me cut it down, or accompany me?
Mr. Wang snorted coldly and said, "If I can help, what do you want me to do?" Go quickly, otherwise you may not be able to make it in time!
I really wanted to refuse, but Mr. Wang's attitude was very tough, and the matter seemed to be very urgent, so I had no choice but to bite the bullet and go ahead.
He walked around from the side of the house to the back of the house, then ran to the edge of the bamboo forest, cut down a few bamboos without even shaving the branches clean, dragged them and ran home, keeping his head down and not squinting all the way, for fear that he would see Something not to look at.
After I got home, I saw Mr. Wang sharpening his ax at the door of the kitchen.
But the ax is already sharp enough, does it still need to be sharpened?
When Mr. Wang saw me coming back, he asked me to put the bamboo into the main room. After grinding for a while, he also came in. He took out a copper coin from his arms, stuffed it into his mouth, and started He skillfully shaved off the branches on the bamboo, leaving a straight blue trunk.
After everything was shaved, Mr. Wang pointed to the branches and then to the back of the house, then ignored me. I knew that he wanted me to throw these branches behind the house.
I did as I was told, and when I came back, I saw Mr. Wang scratching with his axe.
Looking at his nimble movements, I couldn't help but secretly praise him. He was worthy of being a carpenter, and he was extremely skilled in such delicate work as carving. Sure enough, awesome people are awesome at everything, not just spinning wood, but also spinning bamboo!
I really wanted to ask Mr. Wang what he was doing, but when I thought that he would definitely not be able to speak with the copper coins in his mouth, I gave up the plan and stood aside to watch him attentively.
Mr. Wang quickly drew the strips, but he did not stop there. Instead, he selected some strips and began to draw them a second time. Finally, in front of him, three strips were laid out, divided into thick, medium and thin. Plant strips.
Although the moon outside the courtyard is very bright, there is not much moonlight shining into the hall. Even if I open my eyes wide, I can only roughly see the outline of Mr. Wang's figure, so I am very curious about what Mr. Wang does. These strips were drawn twice accurately.
If it were me, there's no question whether the ax can be aimed at the strips.
Mr. Wang moved very quickly, and it didn't take long to draw all the strips. Then he ran to the southeast corner of the main room with these things, sat down on the ground, and started playing with the strips with his hands.
I was confused at first, but as the thing in his hand gradually took shape, I realized that he was making a paper man.
Sure enough, after he tied the skeleton of the paper man, he started to put stickers on the skeleton, and finally used an ink fountain to flick around the waist of the paper man, as if he was wearing a belt. It made me a little flustered.
At this moment, Mr. Wang walked up to me with the paper figure in his arms, thrust Wu Tinghan's judge pen into my hand, and then pointed at the eyes of the paper figure in his hand, gesturing for me to point with the pen. Go up.
Only then did I realize that although the facial features of the paper figure in Mr. Wang’s hand were drawn, the eyes only had eye sockets and no eyeballs.
Mr. Wang wants me to add eyes to the paper man.
After knowing his intention, I was instantly confused. Because all the paper figures I have seen have no eyes. It is said that paper figures cannot have their eyes lit, otherwise they will attract unclean things.
As a craftsman, Mr. Wang should know the secrets here better than I do. If that's the case, why does he want me to add eyes to the paper man?
I asked doubtfully, but Mr. Wang's attitude was very firm. After pointing to the brush in my hand again, he pointed to the eyes of the paper man with a very serious expression.
Although I was confused when I saw him like this, I still followed his instructions and clicked on each of the paper man's eyes.
As soon as I finished ordering, Mr. Wang snatched the judge pen back, spit out the copper coins in his mouth, and told me, tonight you can hold this paper man to sleep.
Sleeping with a paper man in your arms? Are you kidding? No individual can do such a thing, right?
I asked in horror, why?
He said, there is no point in talking too much. If you are told to hug me, you can hug me. There is a lot of nonsense.
Let me tell you, you have to give me a reason, right?
He said that if he didn’t want to die, he would sleep with the paper man in his arms. Is this reason enough?
I was stunned when I heard this, then nodded hurriedly and said, I really wanted to say it was not enough, but I didn't dare.
He snorted coldly and said, "That's right. That's nonsense."
After saying that, he asked me to lie down, then put the paper man on top of me and held me tightly.
After making sure I hugged him tightly, he said, no matter what you see, don’t make a sound (make a sound), do you understand?
I nodded, indicating that I understood, and then subconsciously asked him, what will I see soon? Black or not?
He said, you will know soon. If you don't want to see dripping words, you'd better fall asleep quickly.
After he finished speaking, he turned around and went out, and listening to the footsteps, he seemed to be walking outside the yard. I know that he is going to refresh the fragrance of the hidden sword door god in Chen Guzi's yard.
I was scared to death, but now that Mr. Wang has done this to me, my heart is almost in my throat.
Especially his last sentence, which obviously meant that what I was going to see in a while was scary. How could I possibly sleep in this situation?
Just like that, I pricked up my ears and listened carefully to the situation outside the hospital. The slightest movement could scare me half to death.
I don't know how long it took, and I don't know if I fell asleep. Anyway, I felt like I heard a "bang bang bang" knock on the door while I was in a daze.
After hearing this sound, my whole body felt like an electric shock and I woke up instantly.
Could it be that the paper man is here again! ?
I kept my mouth shut for the first time, fearing that I would make a sound out of fright.
The knocking on the door outside the hospital continued, and the frequency was much faster than before. It was obvious that the person knocking on the door was impatient.
And not long after, I heard a "crash" sound, which was the sound of the courtyard door being pushed open and the brass ring door lock tightening.
I don’t know when Mr. Wang locked the courtyard door again, but I don’t care about this issue at all now. I just want to know who opened the door to my courtyard.
Then I heard a rustling sound - I am very familiar with this sound. When I was a child, I would make this sound when my clothes rubbed against the door edge when I got in and out of the courtyard door. But definitely not that loud!
The rustling sound quickly disappeared and was replaced by 'dong-dong' sounds one after another.
The sound was very rhythmic, with one second between every two sounds, just like a heartbeat. Moreover, I can clearly hear that this sound is getting closer and closer to my room!
"Squeak~"
The door was pushed open, I turned my head slightly and saw a long figure on the ground, which was illuminated by the light of the kerosene lamp in the main room. As the kerosene lamp swayed, the shadow swayed around the room, making my scalp tingle in a strange way.
"Boom!"
There was a sound, and I saw the figure falling together. It didn't look like he was walking.
"Boom!"
Another sound came, and the shadow was getting closer and closer to the bed. The kerosene light in the main room could hardly illuminate its figure.
"Boom!"
The kerosene lamp in the main room finally stopped flickering, and I finally saw clearly the figure projected on the floor and walls.
I don’t know whether it was because of the angle, or because the person kept his head lowered, so when I looked over, I only saw a flat shoulder and not its head.
And just when I looked over, the figure seemed to have discovered my presence. With a few "dong dong dong" sounds, he jumped to my bedside in an instant.
At this time, with the faint moonlight outside the window, I finally saw clearly what the thing in front of me was - it was a black and white paper man with no head and no left leg!
No wonder I only see a flat shoulder, because it has no head at all!
No wonder it makes a 'dong dong dong' sound, because it only has one leg and can only walk by jumping!
At that moment, I was so frightened that I stopped breathing. My eyes were fixed on the headless paper man, and my whole body was trembling slightly.
Under the dim moonlight, I saw the headless paper man tilting his body, stretching out his hands, holding the head of the paper man in front of me impartially, and said with a smile: Hee, I found you!
