I felt that Uncle Ma went around a few times, and at this time he was standing behind Lao Zhang opposite me. I secretly raised my eyes and glanced over, and saw that Beryoma held three incense sticks downside down with his left hand and right hand, and the green smoke from the incense did not rise upwards, but also drifted downward in the opposite direction.

Don't Ryoma has words in his mouth, and the hand that pinched the trick is on the top of Lao Zhang's head and his shoulders back and forth, what surprises me is that when his hand is on the top of Lao Zhang's head, the backward smoke will flow towards the top of Lao Zhang's head, and when his hand moves to Lao Zhang's shoulder, the backward smoke will also converge towards his shoulder.

After a while, I saw his hand holding incense flick lightly on Lao Zhang's shoulder, dropping a burst of incense ash, and then to the other shoulder, repeating this action and flicking off some incense ash.

Then he went around behind me, as he should be, muttering something behind me, and then slicing his hand over my head and shoulders, and I was surprised to find that I could feel the backward puff of green smoke fall on my shoulder. There is a soft and substantive-like feeling.

I was in a lot better at once, and after a while, I heard the sound of his fingertips flicking, and there should have been a lot of incense ash on each shoulder.

I was visibly relieved by this. It just so happened that Lao Zhang also looked at me, and I didn't know if it was the effect of the candlelight or what was going on, but I saw that his face seemed to be much better than before.

We were about to speak, when suddenly Uncle Ma's voice rose up, and we didn't dare to move, so we peeked at him.

By this time, he had already walked behind the paper man and greeted the paper man. But the gesture of greeting is obviously different from that behind us, when we are behind us, it is obvious that it is twisting something on the net, while on the paper figure, it is scattering something invisible.

After a while, he shouted categorically, and inserted the left one of the three incense sticks into the left shoulder of the paper man, the shoulder of the paper man that should have been burned through in an instant, but the strange thing was that it could not be broken under the burning of the fiery red incense. It was crushed!

Uncle Ma shouted twice, and extinguished the second incense stick and the third incense stick on the paper man's right shoulder and the top of his head respectively.

After the last stick of incense was extinguished on the top of the paper man's head, Uncle Ma took a breath and said, "Okay, save up all the cooled paper money ashes and put them in this bag." ”

To be honest, I was bluffed at the time, and I didn't dare to ask if I had any questions.

After listening to Uncle Ma, he handed over a pillow case for a dead man, Lao Zhang didn't dare to take it, and was scolded by him: "I said that everything in my place is called goods, what are you afraid of clean goods!" ”

I hurriedly took it, opened my mouth, sighed, and poured the paper money ash that had cooled in the basin into it.

At one end of the copper basin, the paper ashes were scattered everywhere, and Lao Zhang saw that it was difficult to pour it in, so he was about to use his hands to dial it, but Uncle Ma stopped him with an arrow and said, "You can't touch it with the hands of the living." This one is unlucky. ”

After speaking, he got a rice spoon and handed it to Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang took the rice spoon, and we worked hard to put this millennium pillow ready. I wanted to hand it to Uncle Ma, but he didn't take it, so let me take it. Then he took the paper figure in his pocket and said to us, "Alright, let's get ready to go." ”

After saying that, he motioned for us to go out first, then he blew out the candles, turned off the exhaust fan, and then went out as well.

Lao Zhang stepped on the electric car, and I followed suit.

We looked back at Uncle Ma with the paper man, mixed feelings and sorrows.

Although the paper figure looked like an adult, it was only a child's height, so he couldn't help asking, "Uncle Ma, we are very grateful for you to go with us...... But do you have to bring this thing with you? ”

"It's not simple, your little life tonight has to be saved by him." Needless to say, he put the paper figure down from Lao Zhang's arms and put it on the front pedal, looking from the outside, it looked like a child standing on the front pedal of the electric car.

"It's not good for people to see on this road......" Lao Zhang was a little depressed.

"Don't talk nonsense, it's better to be seen than to die." As he spoke, Uncle Ma raised his leg and let me straddle behind me. But behind me was the take-out box, the space was less than five centimeters wide, I saw that he just wanted to step up, and hurriedly said: "Uncle Ma, don't be stunned, I can't sit down......"

Uncle Ma couldn't help but lose his temper a little: "That means the old man doesn't have to go out?" I don't have a means of transportation, and if you don't let me get in the car, then I won't go. ”

"Then what is it......" Lao Zhang and I said in unison, got out of the car almost at the same time, quickly dismantled the takeout box, and saw that the door had been locked by Beilongma, so he simply placed it in the corner of the wall at the door of his store. Thinking that no one dares to come to this street at night to smooth things, it is really unfatal boldness.

The rear frame was freed up, and now it was spacious, and the three of us got into the car, and we set off.

On the desolate Jinpen Old Street, a second-hand electric car started slowly.

There was a white-faced paper-tied villain standing on the pedal in front of him, then Lao Zhang, then me holding a thousand-year-old pillow, and finally Uncle Ma with some weird strap wrapped around his head.

Poor Uncle Ma is sitting on a steel frame with half of his buttocks, unless he is an iron ingot, otherwise the iron will definitely not be comfortable. So when the road was uneven, I would hear him gritting his teeth and humming when he was crushed along the way.

Lao Zhang's car carrying the three of us big men was obviously a bit laborious, and he didn't drive very fast all the way.

I asked Ryoma, "Uncle Ma, what did you just do with us?" ”

"Simple," Beryoma said bluntly, "I just collected the yin qi from your body and pressed it on this paper man." After a while, the other party will think that this paper man is the delivery man he selected to take it away, and he should not find you again, so you can rest assured. ”

Many years later, I am glad that I met such a sloppy uncle in this cold night, and he saved my life.

Although we were swaying along the way, it was safe and smooth.

However, the paper man at the front really scared a rider who was riding a bicycle in the wrong direction and planted it in a roadside flower bed. In addition, there was a beautiful boy riding a motorcycle from our side, and then saw the paper man in front of Lao Zhang from the rearview mirror, and turned his head sharply to confirm a look, thinking that he had seen a living ghost, and he was directly scared out of a speed of one hundred and eighty yards, and disappeared directly into the traffic, life and death are unknown.

The so-called safe journey, except for these two.

Although the electric car was pressed by us very slowly, but fortunately, the distance was not far, and when I arrived at the downstairs of the tube building, I looked at my watch, and it was already 10:25.

Lao Zhang parked the car, we all got off the car, Uncle Ma took out a few straw ropes and arranged them: "Xiaocan, you are the order taker tonight, come, you tie this paper figure to your chest." After speaking, he handed me a few more and said, "Xiao Xu, you tie up the thousand-year-old pillow, leave a rope, and tie it to the paper man's hand, and you can help the paper man hold the pillow and follow Xiao Can behind him." ”

I nodded and did as he was told.

Lao Zhang's resistance is obviously more than mine, after all, tying a miserable white paper to the chest, this is a bit too much...... After summing up the experience along the way, if you are seen, you won't scare others to death......
