Chapter 3: Sister Fang

I was not a little timid, but this glance almost scared my legs, and the paper-tied boy smiled strangely, and then returned to the table of the Eight Immortals.

I watched in amazement as it returned to its previous position, as if it hadn't moved at all. And the whole process, my mind was confused, and I didn't dare to move.

"Okay, you wait." Sun Hong's voice came from outside the curtain, and then he lifted the curtain and walked into the back hall, at this time the third uncle also walked back, glanced at Sun Hong, and nodded.

I froze in place, and the paper man's weird smile just now was reflected in my mind, which made me even forget about Sister Fang.

The third uncle and Sun Hong didn't seem to know that the paper figure had just moved, and the yellow paper in the third uncle's hand was torn into two paper figures, which seemed to have been soaked in water in the backyard, and the two yellow paper figures were wet.

The third uncle pasted the yellow paper figure on the back of the two paper boys and girls, Sun Hong picked up the brush on the table and wrote a string of words on the paper figure, and the third uncle later told me that it was my birthday.

"Don't let the baby out." Sun Hong admonished the third uncle with a solemn face, and then picked up the two paper figures and walked out.

My eyes followed him, staring closely at the paper man, whose eyes seemed to suddenly glance at me as he left the inner hall.

Sister Fang stood and waited in the door, quiet and not angry. After Sun Hong came out, she seemed to raise her head and stare at the pair of boys and girls in Sun Hong's hands.

Click!

Suddenly a flash of lightning flickered outside the house, the light was dim, and in the strong flash of lightning, Sister Fang's shadow was cast on the wall, showing a thick and long shadow!

Tick.

The sound of water dripping on the ground, a small puddle has formed where Sister Fang's feet are stepping.

I saw Sun Hong hand over the pair of boys and girls, and Sister Fang stretched out her hand, like a child, and grabbed the hands of the two paper figures, and then handed out a wet piece of money.

"Is Shao Shao there?" Sister Fang suddenly asked in a low voice.

I was separated from my heart for a moment, but the third uncle held me tightly.

"Not there." Sun Hong replied.

Sister Fang raised her head, and there seemed to be black water flowing out of her eyes.

"Is Shao Shao here?" She asked again, her voice terrible.

I'm a little scared, I've never seen Sister Fang like this.

"Not here!" Sun Hong replied loudly, categorically.

Bang!

There was another thunderclap, boom.

The lights of the paper shop flickered, followed by a heavy rain outside the shop.

Sister Fang didn't ask anymore, her eyes were completely occupied by black water, and suddenly a hand stretched out, grabbed Sun Hong's neck, and lifted him up like a chicken.

"You lied to me!" Sister Fang's voice was as mournful as a demon, and the black water gushing out of her eyes seemed to turn into a cloud of black gas, enveloping Sun Hong.

Sun Hong's face immediately turned red, he struggled with his hands and feet, and let out a heart-rending scream, as the sound gradually stopped, Sun Hong kicked his legs and stopped moving.

I watched this scene in a daze, and I only felt that my hands and feet were extremely cold.

Is this the Sister Fang I know?

Sister Fang left Sun Hong's body, her expression returned to her original appearance, and she turned around to go out with the boy and the girl.

Then another bolt of lightning illuminated the night, and this time, the lights of the paper shop were completely extinguished. In that flash of light, I could clearly see a huge shadow slowly passing by outside the window opposite.

The whole room rattled as if it had been oppressed by some great pressure, and the rain was majestic, the thunder was rumbling, and the wind and rain were blowing!

The voice was dull, Sister Fang in the room exuded a thick black gas, and the water trickled down from her body more and more, and suddenly, she turned her head and looked at me sharply.

Through the curtain, I felt that she saw me behind the curtain, and there was an indescribable resentment in her eyes.

I was so frightened that I almost screamed.

At this time, the third uncle pulled me away, he held the nine-section black bamboo pole tightly, and stared at the side of the curtain with a tense expression.

Then there was another bolt of lightning, illuminating the heavens and the earth, and I saw a long shadow reflected in the red curtain. Then, the whole world returns to suffocating darkness.

There was a woman with her head dragging a snake-like neck, through a thin curtain, spitting out her forked tongue and hissing sounds.

Heavy rain!

I subconsciously held my breath, tears rolling in my eyes. I don't know how long it took for the room to be lit up again.

The rain outside was light, the thunder gradually disappeared, and my clothes were wet, but on the summer night, I broke out in a cold sweat!

The third uncle opened the curtain and walked out, the paper shop became a mess, the wind and thunder shook the roof, and the walls seemed to be under heavy pressure, full of cobweb-like cracks.

Sister Fang disappeared and took away the boy and girl.

At this time, Sun Hong, who should have died, walked out from behind the counter, his face was pale, as if he was several years old. And the position of his 'corpse' turned out to be a paper figure with his neck torn at this moment.

I watched all this dumbfounded, and after a long while, I pulled the sleeve of the third uncle, and dared to ask, "Third uncle, where is Sister Fang?" ”

"Let's go find her." The third uncle said this, his eyes staring solemnly at a large puddle of water on the ground, mixed with mud and sand and algae.

"Today, it looks like we can't do business." Sun Hong packed up his things, looked at his shop, shook his head, and then looked at me with a complicated expression, "This baby, how did you provoke such a ghost?" ”

"I've calculated, this baby and the female baby of the Fu family do match the female baby of the Jiang family. But the daughter of the Jiang family... It shouldn't be..."The third uncle frowned, thought for a while, shook his head, and said, "Don't worry about this for now, I finally deceived her today and suppressed my resentment." I'll have to get the body up first, so I don't have any more accidents. ”

"Cheng, I happen to have an empty coffin in the back hall, which can be used." Sun Hong said.

"Everything, right?"

"I'll do it, don't worry." After Sun Hong finished speaking, he lifted the curtain and went to the back hall.

I was taken out of the 'paper clothes' by the third uncle, and despite the heavy rain, the dark clouds in the sky were still black and oppressive, and there was no intention of dispersing at all.

It stands to reason that it is now my usual time to sleep, but the scene I saw today made me not sleepy at all, and all the scenes in my mind were snake shadows shaking.

The third uncle took me all the way back to his house next to the reeds, and there are usually so many mosquitoes that can sting people crazy, but today I can't see a single one.

The third uncle's house was connected to a simple wooden dock, connected to the mouth of the river, and his small sailboat was moored next to it. The third uncle got on the boat first, then carried me down, untied the rope, and rowed the boat into the river.

I sat on the sideboard of the rocking boat and looked at the children's electronic watch on my wrist, the time showed that it was already twelve o'clock, and I never thought that I would one day be on the river at this time.

The third uncle stood on the bow of the boat, rowing with a long pole, holding a flashlight in his hand to shine on the water, as if looking for something on the dark river.

After a while, the third uncle took out an incense burner from the cabin, lit a long incense stick and inserted it into the incense burner, I could smell a fragrance, obviously, this incense was different from what my grandmother usually ordered.

Its smoke would not disperse, and there was a faint purple tinge that lingered and drifted towards the reeds.

"Baby, can you see where the smoke is going?" The third uncle asked.

I nodded, a little strange, can't he see the third uncle?

"Go to the reeds, uncle."

The third uncle nodded, rowed the boat over, and kept asking me the direction where the smoke was going and adjusting the position of the boat.

When he got close to the reeds, the third uncle took out a half-burned white candle from the cloth bag, lit it, dripped two drops of wax oil and stuck it to the ship's board.

"Third uncle, this stinks." I wrinkled my nose, the white candle was a strange yellow color, and the smell of burning was much worse than incense.

"Baby, watch it carefully, don't let it go out." The third uncle patted my head and told me with a serious face, "It stinks, but it works." ”

I didn't quite understand what the third uncle meant by what he said, but when the third uncle said so, I was obedient, staring at the somewhat green flame with my eyes.

Strange to say, there was not a single wisp of wind on the river, but when the boat rowed into the reeds, the flame of the candle shook strangely, as if someone was deliberately blowing it.

I hurriedly stretched out my hands to protect the candle flame, and the flame stabilized, but I thought it was even more weird, this was a little green flame, not hot at all.

The third uncle kept looking ahead, shining a flashlight on the dark water.

The more the boat went to the mouth of the gourd, the worse the third uncle's face became. After walking for a while, the candle flame shook again, this time no matter how I blocked the wind, it was useless, I was scared and hurriedly called the third uncle: "Third uncle, third uncle, it's going to be extinguished!" ”

At this moment, the bottom of the boat seemed to hit something, and it made a soft gluck. At this moment, the green flame suddenly went out completely, and became a wisp of green smoke!
