CHAPTER XXV. Paper figure shop
1
On the West Street of Rubik's Cube City, there are two things that are well known to the locals. One is a shampoo room and the other is a funeral supply store. Both of these businesses have been formed naturally over the years, except that one is open 24 hours a day, and the other is full of birds during the day and pheasants at night. It was the afternoon, and although there was no business, the street was narrow, and Liang Li had a lot of effort to park her car in front of a store called [Lingji Wreath Shop]. The owner of this shop is very familiar with Chang Youdao, and Chang Shao is also acquainted.
The wreath shop was closed, and a middle-aged man in his fifties, dressed in a thick cotton robe, lay on the side of the road in front of the door basking in the sun, ignoring the inconvenience of passers-by. A few people got out of the car, and Chang Shaofu walked directly to the recliner and kicked the middle-aged man twice: "Lao Huang! Get up! You're two hundred and five, and you're not afraid of affecting other people's walking when you're lying here? ”
That old Huang was kicked twice by Chang Shaofu, his loose eyelids rolled, and after seeing clearly that it was him, his face was full of impatience: "Do you want you to be a little ghost?" I'm basking in the sun at my own doorstep, and it's none of my business if others like to walk or not? ”
"What the hell are you doing here? It's all car exhaust and human fart! Get up! I have something to ask you! Chang Shaofu kicked the old yellow again.
"You kid weasel comes in, it's going to be fine!" Lao Huang finally couldn't lie down anymore, rolled his eyes and stood up, looked at the few people behind Chang Shaofu, and turned his head into the wreath shop.

Several people hurriedly followed.
There are all kinds of wreaths on one side of the store, and on the other side, there are paper people and paper horses on the counter, as well as paper refrigerators, color TVs, BMW cars, iPhones, and so on. Several people noticed that the paper figures were wearing triangular hats on their heads.
"If you have something to say, let it go!" Lao Huang walked to the counter, picked up the big tea jar, and drank two sips of tea before glancing at Chang Shaofu and said.
"Recently, the ...... About a month or two, has anyone ever ordered a large number of paper figurines with you? "I don't bother to ask.
"Nonsense! Our Lao Huang's paper-binding craft is the first in Rubik's Cube City, when will no one decide? ”
"Large, no less than thirty or more." Sang Xiaoge added.
Lao Huang was stunned when he heard the girl holding the cat in front of him say this, and then put on a treacherous expression and said: "I am a person with professional ethics, and the information of customers is confidential. ”
"Keep your horn a secret! What are your wreath-tying professional ethics? Also customer information! Say it quickly, human life is at stake! "Chang Shao is annoying, angry and funny, I can't imagine that this old Huang can say such things as professional ethics.
"You rabbit can look down on me, but you can't look down on me yourself, right? Confidentiality, don't ask me, I can't remember! You hit me? Lao Huang put on a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water.

"What am I so ......" Chang Shaofu was furious when he saw this, and was about to have a seizure, but was dragged aside by Liang Li like removing a piece of firewood blocking the way. Then she put on an elegant smile at Lao Huang and said:
"Uncle Huang, my family has encountered some trouble, and now I need your customer's information, you see, you have a good memory of this matter, who has recently customized paper figures in large quantities in your house?" While speaking, Liang Li stuffed the three red tickets into Lao Huang's hand.
"Well, girl, you allow me to reminisce." When Lao Huang saw Liang Li, he immediately put on a smile to welcome the guests, and quietly received the three hundred yuan at the counter, took out an account book, stretched out his finger on his tongue, turned over the account book, and soon, he took out a note from the account book, copied a copy of the note and gave it to Liang Li: "Oh, remember, at the beginning of last month, an eldest sister surnamed Feng came to me and ordered a hundred paper people, saying that she was willing to use it, and I hired a car to pull her to her home." This is the address. ”
Liang Li took the note in her hand, and after looking at it, her expression changed greatly, at this time, Ding Ding's face was already pale, she snatched the note from Liang Li's hand, looked at it, and tears flowed out: "How can this be?" ”

Everyone got into the car, and Chang Shao was annoyed to see the pear blossoms on Ding Ding's face with rain, and Liang Li hugged her and persuaded her. He asked, "Do you know this man?" ”
"It's the mother of Tintin's ex-boyfriend!" Liang Li said with an angry face.
The person who asked Lao Huang to order a hundred paper figures was the mother of Ding Ding's deceased ex-boyfriend.
This was completely unexpected.
If it weren't for Chang Shaofu and Sang Xiaoge to stop her, Liang Li would almost immediately go to her desperately. However, Sang Xiaoge's words still calmed Liang Li down.
According to her analysis, Tintin's godmother (after Tintin committed suicide and was rescued, she recognized her ex-boyfriend's mother as her godmother. It wasn't necessarily intentional. After all, an ordinary housewife could not have the ability to drive the paper soul or even threaten Tintin's life, and she couldn't find a reason. It is very likely that there is still a hidden secret, so after discussion, it was decided to let Liang Li accompany Ding Ding to find her godmother to find out the situation, and the others waited in the car downstairs first.
Before going upstairs, Chang Youdao asked Liang Li to dial his phone and keep the call on so that they could listen in the car.
When Ding Ding saw her godmother, he told her about her recent experience, and the other party's shock was no less than Liang Li's reaction when she heard about it.
Then, Liang Li asked her, "Sister Feng, I want to ask you, have you encountered anything special recently?" ”
"Alas......"
That "Sister Feng" is not very old, but both her appearance and voice are obviously much older than her actual age. She sadly recounted her experience some time ago.

About a month ago, Tintin's godmother began to dream of her son every day, feeling her son's reluctance and nostalgia for his previous life. She is a Buddhist, so she went to the Nine Buddha Pavilion to burn incense, and at the same time donated a sum of money, hoping that the master could help her son's soul to get transcendence "over there". After the temple master finished the rituals, he introduced her to a lay disciple and said that he could help her son.
The so-called lay disciple opened a Buddhist supplies store near the Nine Buddha Pavilion, and at the same time took over some things that transcended the soul. After caring for Ding Ding's godmother, the lay disciple did it for her, and after ten minutes of meditation, he woke up and said to her: Her son is very lonely over there, and she hopes to have a companion to accompany her. In other words, it is unwilling to die before getting married. The only solution is to arrange a secret marriage for him. If the marriage is completed, the son will be able to live happily in the underworld until he is reincarnated......
After hearing this, Ding Ding's godmother was so heartfelt that she almost exhausted her savings and asked the lay disciple to hold this ritual for her. The ceremony was held in her home with great pomp. A total of 100 paper people and four paper horses were burned, plus the incense mountain and the ingots paper money. Moreover, the other party also asked her to find out the photos of her son and his girlfriend (that is, Ding Ding) and the birthdays of the two.

"This scum!"
Chang Shao, who was downstairs listening to the "live broadcast" on his mobile phone on hands-free, couldn't help but be furious, pushed the car door, and said to Sang Xiaoge and Xiao Dezi: "Hurry up!" Looks like something big is going to happen! ”
"The so-called 'underworld marriage' refers to the marriage of two dead people in the underworld. If one of them is not dead, once the ceremony of the underworld marriage is held, the one who is alive will not survive for 7749 days! ”
When Ding Ding introduced Sang Xiaoge and the others, Chang Shaofu unceremoniously reprimanded Ding Ding's godmother: "That god stick clearly has ulterior motives to cheat money and harm people." It's a shame that you've lived so long......"
Liang Li stretched out her hand and interrupted Chang Shaofu with a slap: "Hey! Can you speak politely? Sister Feng didn't know it would be like this! Did you know? She loves Ding Ding very much, really like hurting her own daughter. It's just that she misses her son, and at the same time regrets that Ding Ding and her son can't get together, so she falls for the bad guys......"
Sister Feng was already remorseful and scared at this time, and said to Chang Shaofu while trembling and crying: "This Mr. Chang, hi...... I'm such a fool, you've got to find a way to save my daughter! ”
Chang Shaofu looked at Sang Xiaoge vigorously.
Sang Xiaoge looked at the cat and groaned for a while before he spoke:
"If you want to save Tintin, you have to know what kind of ritual that guy used in the first place. In this way, Aunt Feng, you should recall what kind of procedure it was at that time, and try not to miss any details! ”
So, in Sister Feng's chatter, a few people roughly figured out the whole process.
