Chapter 18 Paper Village
Hearing my words, Cheng Tiannian stopped.
Because he was upside down, and when he looked down at the road, his body looked down in the same way that he tilted his head and lowered his waist.
This action is extremely weird.
"Shhh...... I...... What the hell am I?"
He muttered to himself, asking himself.
And then.
He turned and headed towards the spirit shed not far away, as if he had figured it out.
"I ...... I'm dead!"
Suddenly, he let out an exclamation, and his whole body convulsed, and he fell to the ground.
At this time.
There was a sudden commotion at the altar, and they seemed to be a little panicked because of something.
Then, a lot of people came to the village, but basically all of them women, all of them with flashlights, and they began to scatter from the side of the shed, looking for something.
The spirit shed in the village must be Cheng Tiannian, and they must be looking for Cheng Tiannian's body.
Wang Ba and I went to the spirit shed and found them.
"Are you looking for Cheng Tiannian's body?"
One of them, a young woman with a bit of a look, looked back at me and replied.
"yes!"
Wang Ba said directly.
"He's over there, just ...... Just now, he borrowed the corpse to resurrect his soul and ran over there. ”
Hearing this, the women didn't look surprised, they just sighed, and took a few people, flashlights, to the fork in the road we had just come.
A few minutes later.
The women of the village have returned.
"Are you sure you saw Cheng Tiannian over there? We went to look for it just now, why didn't we find it?"
I feel a little weird.
Cheng Tiannian borrowed the corpse to resurrect his soul, and was recognized by one of my proverbs, he fell, and he shouldn't be able to get up. However, these women went over, but they did not find Cheng Tiannian's body.
Wang Ba and I took them and went to look for them again, but we still couldn't find them.
The young woman just now said.
"It's okay, the big guys have gone out to look for it, I guess, I'll find it later." ”
The woman who spoke was the youngest of these women, her name was Wang Liuwu, and she looked like she was in her twenties, with willow eyebrows and peach eyes, and her face was also very delicate.
It's just that when she looks at me, there is always a lack of spirit in her eyes.
I just nodded.
Just now she sent out several groups of people, divided into several routes, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the entire village can be found.
Then, I asked her again, who is Cheng Tiannian?
Sister Wang told me.
"Mr. Cheng, he is the feng shui gentleman of our village, he is quite capable, oh, by the way, he can usually treat people, and he is also an old Chinese medicine doctor. ”
"However, he has no children all his life, and he does things for the village on weekdays, looks at feng shui, treats us people, and the villagers say that he is good, so after he dies, his spiritual shed is made up by all of us. Mr. Feng Shui passed away, according to the custom of our side, we have to keep the spirit for two days and two nights, and today is the last night. ”
"But in the past two days, his body has been missing, no, he is missing again today!"
When Sister Wang said these words, she was very casual, and there didn't seem to be any fear on her face, she seemed to think that such things were commonplace.
Perhaps, Cheng Tiannian's corpse ran too many times?
"This time Mr. Cheng disappeared, I think he should be there to save the two of us. ”
I said this.
Sister Wang looked at me, and a trace of doubt passed through her eyes.
"So, you came from the princess's grave, right?"
She guessed it right at once.
I nodded immediately.
"yes, what's going on over there at the princess's grave?"
"I heard Mr. Cheng say that that place is very evil, there are a lot of things, and the two of us were also in a trance, so we entered the mountain, but fortunately, Mr. Cheng brought us out. ”
If I can learn some clues from Sister Wang, it will definitely be of some help to me in dealing with the woman in red in the princess's grave.
Sister Wang didn't answer me immediately.
She asked me and Wang Ba to sit down in the spiritual shed over there.
There are lamps and candles in it.
It's just that the spiritual bed is empty, and in front of the spiritual bed, there is a posthumous image, which is indeed the black and white photo we saw just now.
After sitting down.
Sister Wang told us.
"You've been to the princess's grave, and it's good to come out alive. ”
"Just now, you also saw that in our village, only women are left, and all the men in the village have been hooked into the princess's grave. I have only been married for two years, and my husband was also hooked away, and as soon as he left, he never came back. Let me tell you, there is a fox fairy who lives there, who specializes in seducing men, and he can't come back once he goes. ”
When Sister Wang spoke, her voice was very low.
At this point, she seemed to think of something again.
"Have you ever heard of a saying?"
"What's that?"
I asked curiously.
"Peach blossoms are everywhere, and not a single inch of grass grows. ”
She replied in a low voice, as if she was afraid that someone would hear it.
I haven't heard of it, Wang Ba said, he heard this sentence in the movie.
Sister Wang said.
"As long as you have seen peach blossoms, you can't escape. You two, you shouldn't have seen peach blossoms, right?"
Wang Ba and I looked at each other and did not answer.
We've seen it more than once, and we've seen it more than once, all kinds of different peach blossoms.
The peach blossom tattoo on Lin Jiangcheng's back, the jar of peach blossom wine, and the peach blossom that floated inside the wine when he opened the peach blossom wine, and the peach blossom mark under the wine jar.
Seeing that we didn't speak, Sister Wang smiled and said.
"You must not have seen it, it's almost winter now, where did the peach blossoms come from, right?"
Wang Ba and I both nodded.
Sister Wang told us again.
Originally, Mr. Cheng was still alive and well, but a few days ago, the child of the sixth aunt's family passed his eighteenth birthday. Who knows, when the family cut the cake, they found that the cake was stuffed with peach blossoms. ”
They were so frightened that they immediately threw away the cake, and the son of the sixth aunt also hid at home and did not dare to go out. But after dark, the child was still missing. ”
In order to save the children of the sixth aunt's family, Mr. Cheng lit a lantern in the middle of the night and went to Gushan. ”
"Who knows, he will never come back. ”
"The son of the sixth aunt's family was not saved, and the next day, we found Mr. Cheng's body at the foot of the lonely mountain. He ate a mouth full of mud, his stomach was bulging, and he was killed by the mud!"
When she said this, Wang Ba was puzzled and interjected to ask.
"Isn't Mr. Cheng also a man? How can he live so long in the village? I think he seems to be quite old. ”
"After all, he is Mr. Yin and Yang, and he has his own way. ”
Sister Wang replied simply.
While talking, the women who went out to find Cheng Tiannian's body all came back.
I looked back.
They were carrying a plank, and a man was tied to it.
Without asking, it was Cheng Tiannian's corpse.
After these people come back.
put Cheng Tiannian's body on the spiritual bed, as if in order to prevent his corpse from escaping again, he simply tied his hands and feet with hemp rope.
The women finished their work in the mourning tent, said hello to Sister Wang, and left.
When walking.
I looked at their backs and saw that they were all wearing the same clothes.
I looked at Sister Wang and asked her.
"Everyone in your village wears the same clothes?"
Sister Wang was stunned for a moment, then replied with a smile.
"Oh, there is a factory in the village, and it is the clothes of the employees in the factory, because they don't do anything else on weekdays, so everyone is used to wearing the clothes in the factory. ”
"What factory?"
I continued to ask.
"Paper factory, our village depends on this to make a living, others call our village, paper village. ”
Sister Wang said, pointing to some paper figures placed in the mourning shed, those paper figures are very standard, much better than those made in the shops in the old city and ancient streets.
Wang Ba looked at me, as if he had something to say.
I gave him a sneaky look.
