Chapter Twenty-Six: Shhhh
"Whew, snort" The old woman with two eyes gasped, leaning on the stool and slowly sat down, "Boy, let's go!" I can't see your fate, in my eyes, in your mind, your handprints are all blank! Maybe I'm not qualified enough! ”
"Mother-in-law, what about me? You haven't told me how to crack it. An Chen seized the opportunity to ask.
"I'm tired, old woman, just look for the things you want here, leave a dollar and leave!" After the old woman finished speaking, she fell on the table and said nothing. Seeing this, An Chen hurriedly stepped forward to test her snort, "Oh no, this mother-in-law is out of breath." ”
"How is that possible? What are you talking nonsense? "I was about to go up and test her breath when the gray-haired old man suddenly appeared among us and startled me.
"The old woman has made it very clear just now, let you take your things and leave, what are you rubbing?" The old man had lost his friendliness and glared at us as if he was going to eat someone.
I looked at them weirdly, grabbed the paper doll, took a handful of red rope, and went out of the door stupidly, while An Chen looked back at the mother-in-law step by step.
"Stinky boy, leave a dollar and leave, otherwise the paper doll won't work." The old man chased after him with a white paper stick in his hand, banging on the ground as he ran, and the paper stick he held looked like the one Bai Wuchang held in his hand.
I quickly took a dollar coin out of my pocket and threw it into the yard. Gently clamped the paper doll under his armpit, grabbed An Chen and walked to the alley.
After walking for a while, I heard two aunts pointing at me, and I finally couldn't help it, "Auntie, if you have anything, just tell me directly, don't point fingers behind my back, okay?" ”
"I'm saying, you're so blessed, Grandma Zhang sold you this paper doll." The aunt looked at me with envy on her face.
An Chen was excited when he heard this, "Auntie, listen to what you say, this grandma is very powerful!" ”
"That's not it, everyone in our alley wants to ask Grandma Zhang to buy the paper doll, but she said that she would sell it to someone who is destined, and she won't sell it no matter how much money we pay." Another aunt gestured with her hand in the air, coupled with her expression, the whole person looked very funny.
"Why do so many people buy her paper dolls?"
"What she said! But it's a good idea, this paper doll can give people a ward off from disaster. My one-year-old grandson cries all day long, and others say that he sees something unclean, so I came to find Grandma Zhang once, and she was fine after reading it. After the aunt in the flower dress finished speaking, she mysteriously pulled An Chen and motioned him to put his ear to her mouth.
"I think your friend is very difficult to talk to, how about I pay a thousand yuan to buy your friend's paper doll?" Although she said it quietly, I heard it.
"Auntie, I don't sell this paper doll, you go to Grandma Zhang to buy it! We still have something to do, so let's go first. I pulled An Chen and hurried out of the alley.
I only heard the aunt in the back shouting: "Why is this young man like this, I will add more if you think a thousand is less." ”
"Do you hear that? This paper doll is so valuable, it means that the mother-in-law must have two hits, this time it's over, I'm going to be burned to death by the fire, what should I do? What to do? An Chen was anxiously spinning in place, and when I saw that he was worried, I couldn't get angry.
"If you go down to this ink again, you will be stuck in a traffic jam for a while, and you may not know when you will be able to go back." I know that this is An Chen's weakness, and what he is most afraid of is going out and getting stuck in traffic. Sure enough, An Chen rushed in front of me with an arrow and pulled me to the station.
We went back to our lodgings, and we didn't know what symbol the ghost had drawn on the door with blood, and it looked a little strange.
An Chen looked around, "I'm really excited, I can finally see what the ghost looks like." I looked at the excitement in his eyes and shook my head helplessly, I wasn't as excited as him, as long as the female ghost didn't haunt me anymore.
When we entered the door, we were startled by the ghost in front of us, she was wearing a dress similar to that worn by the dancing god, which was placket, as if it was made of some kind of animal skin, and the front and back of the dress were decorated with many patterns. There were also a lot of colored strips of cloth on the side, bright on the front and back of the chest, I don't know what they were, and there were all kinds of strange symbols on them, and the hat on her head was also decorated with colored strips of cloth.
"What are you doing here? Jumping gods? What about the ghosts who said yes? An Chen looked at the ghost, and then stared at me with wide eyes.
"This is the paper doll you want, and there are some other things." I ignored An Chen and handed the paper doll to the ghost along with the handbag.
"You'd better go back to the house tonight." The ghost took the bag, took the contents out, and began to set it up.
I looked at the door of my house, and the red rope enclosed the door frame, and there was a dark red symbol on the door. I looked at An Chen's door again, and it was the same.
We didn't say anything more, and when it was too late, we ordered takeout. After eating, the three of us have been in such a stalemate, no one compromises, time passes minute by minute, and finally the ghost still compromises, An Chen raised his chin proudly. The ghost made me hold the rusty sword in my hand in case I needed it.
An Chen and I sat on the sofa in the living room and watched the ghost, she was sitting alone in the circle around the red rope, and the paper doll was placed outside the red circle.
All the lights in the room suddenly went out, and I nervously clenched the short sword in my hand. Who knew that An Chen said uncomfortably: "Damn, there is a power outage." "I'm also convinced of this IQ.
"Help me, who's going to help me!" A faint female voice came out, and An Chen immediately closed her mouth. "My child is about to be born, you can help me!"
The voice made people feel pity, and An Chen's ghost made a god stand up and walk towards the bathroom. I grabbed him, but he had a lot of strength and dragged me forward.
"Spot your blood on his brow." The ghost told me aloud.
I used the rusty sword, slashed hard at my fingertips, and then chased after it, pointing at An Chen's eyebrows.
"What's wrong with me?" I saw An Chen's reaction, and immediately pulled him back.
"Are you wicked people just watching my child die?" The woman's voice rang out again, her voice full of resentment.
At this time, the terrifying sound of Xun sounded from the mouth of the ghost, which seemed to penetrate the soul of the person and echoed in the air for a long time. I don't know when the red candles around the ghost lit up, and by the faint light of the candles, I saw that in the bathroom, it was her, the woman who was lying on the toilet and vomiting, and the woman who wanted to strangle me on the train was her.
"You see our baby is about to be born, you can help me." She said as she stroked her stomach.
Her voice seemed to have a magical power, and people couldn't help but want to go over and help her.
