Chapter Thirty-Eight: There's a Paper Man, Missing...
I actually didn't believe this, I suspected that Zhong Bai was mistaken, but he sneered, and then gave me a mirror the size of a lace palm.
"Do you want to see who you're with?"
Zhong Bai smiled mysteriously.
I checked the small mirror in my hand, I didn't know what Zhong Bai wanted to do, he continued, "Take this mirror back and bury it in the incense ash for three days, and then find a moonlit night at night, take out the mirror and face the moonlight, what you see from it at that time, that is your object." ”
"Is it so amazing?" I'm a little unconvinced.
Zhong Bai smiled at me, and at this time, Yang Dawu walked up quickly, and the two of us didn't continue talking, I put the mirror away.
Yang Dawu came up to inquire about Zhong Bai's situation in the house, and asked Zhong Bai if his father had any unfulfilled wishes, and Zhong Bai really nodded after asking, "He does have a wish, he wants to live a more comfortable life below, and it is best to have someone to accompany him." ”
This last sentence made me stumble and almost didn't fall.
Yang Dawu was also frightened, and Zhong Bai added, "I can see the reason why the old man is in the cave room, I can help him understand this matter, and I can't let him live uneasy below." ”
"What then!? You can't let a living person go down to accompany him. Yang Dawu's forehead was sweating, and what had happened in the past two days, coupled with the old man's commotion before, made him honestly afraid.
"That's not necessary, it's just a matter of burning some stand-ins and you'll be fine." After Zhong Bai finished speaking, I suddenly thought of the paper figures standing in line at the gate last night.
Those were originally burned to Old Man Yang, but because of the change, they forgot about this stubble, and they originally went down to serve him to live a better life, maybe Old Man Yang made trouble because of this.
After I told Zhong Bai, he also nodded and asked Yang Dawu to take out those paper figures.
Those paper figurines were so weird last night that I guess I walked to the gate by myself.
I was a little worried that the paper figures were not safe, and after telling Zhong Bai about his concerns, he whispered to me that they were not in the way, and those paper figures were just ordinary items, and it would be even more unsafe to stay in this place.
Rather than this, it is better to burn.
Soon, the paper figures were all moved out of the old house at the back and placed in the courtyard outside the gate, but probably because the paper beauty was too beautiful, or maybe it was too beautiful.
I always remember in my head that after they all moved out and didn't move, I couldn't help but say, "Is there still a paper figure in the back room that hasn't moved out?" ”
I didn't really like it in the Yang family, but in the past two days, I got close to Zhong Bai, and when I saw that no one returned, Yang Dawu shook his head, "These paper figures occupy space, and we all put them in the back room." There's nothing in it! ”
I frowned, and after glancing around, I was sure that the paper beauty was not inside, and it stands to reason that they were all in the back room, and it was impossible to be mistaken.
But I didn't feel at ease, but in order to avoid panic, I didn't say anything, and took Zhong Bai to the empty house behind the courtyard with everyone's strange eyes, and it was empty, except for a little messy, and I could see it at a glance.
Although Zhong Bai had seen it last night, he didn't know the number and my inner concerns, so he asked me what was wrong.
I whispered with some fear, "There's a paper man, gone." ”
