Chapter 113: Lao Yu Paper Shop
"Hey, what a waste of money to rent a house? You young people just don't know how to be thrifty. Giving the Literature Network"
After Yu Banxian finished speaking, his eyes rolled and he said to me again: "This is double happiness, don't rent a house for your brother and sister, it's not easy to make money these days, save if you can save a little, go to my house to live, my house is spacious." ”
"That's embarrassing." I didn't expect Yu Banxian to be so enthusiastic.
Yu Banxian raised his eyebrows, and pretended to be angry: "What are you still hypocritical with me?" If you want to live, you can go. ”
After saying this, he didn't care whether I agreed or not, grabbed my arm without saying anything, and hurriedly called a taxi.
I didn't even have a chance to refuse, and staggered to the side of the taxi by him, and in desperation, Jin Ling and I had to follow him into the car.
An hour later, the three of us took a car to the outskirts of Lianhai, and the taxi turned left and right into an alley.
Looking out of the car window, the alleys are lined with dilapidated and quaint bungalow courtyards, and some courtyard walls are covered with green creepers.
The taxi finally stopped with a "click" in front of a store called "Lao Yu Paper Shop".
After paying the fare and getting out of the car, Yu Banxian untied the key on his waist and opened the door of the store.
The whole shop is about 7o square meters, and the left wall is filled with various wreaths, and the right wall is full of colorful paper figures.
Entering through the back door of the store, there were several rooms separated by wooden boards, and Yu Banxian pointed to one of them and said to me: "Double happiness, your brothers and sisters will live in this room in the future, just greet me if you lack any daily necessities." ”
"Thank you so much." When I saw him so enthusiastic, I immediately felt frightened, and hurriedly greeted him.
After a few kind words, I stretched out my hand and pointed to the wreath and paper figure outside, and said in surprise: "Lao Yu, I didn't see it, it turns out that you are doing this business, this is a handicraft job." ”
Before I came here, I originally thought that Yu Banxian was just a tricked and deceived charlatan, but I really didn't expect him to be a papermaker.
For this reason, I can't help but be a little impressed by Yu Banxian, and his image has changed a lot in my heart.
Because this paper work, but the traditional art of our country's folk, this is a very deep knowledge, meticulous work, not a few pieces of colored paper and bamboo sticks casually paste the work.
It's like those who learn to paint, the customer asks you to name something to paint, you have to draw beautifully, the painting is ugly, how can the customer be willing to pay for it.
Binding paper work is also a truth, you not only have to tie vividly, but also must have many styles, what golden boys and girls, cars, horses, cows, modern cars, televisions, etc., you must all be able to tie it.
"What kind of craftsmanship, sell your strength, just eat with your mouth." Yu Banxian didn't care about my compliment, waved his hand, and said, "Your brother and sister will sit down for a while, and I'll go out and come back immediately." ”
After leaving the next sentence, Yu Banxian hurriedly walked out of the store.
Not long after he had walked on his front feet, I left the golden bell like the walking dead in the room, and I had nothing to do to do myself, so I wandered around the shop.
To say that Yu Banxian's craftsmanship is really unique, all of them have a good appearance, small nose and small eyes, red lips and white teeth, exquisite.
It wasn't until I looked at all the paper figures one by one that I went back to the back room, and in this back room, in addition to the one where Jin Ling and I lived, there were still 2 rooms left.
One of them was Yu Banxian's residence, and the other seemed to be a barnhouse, and this one caught my attention.
As soon as I approached there, I suddenly felt uncomfortable all over my body, and my hairs stood on end, which was a reflection of the instinctive vigilance of the monastics, and once this phenomenon appeared, it meant that there might be something unclean in the barn.
Immediately, I frowned, pinched with my right hand, twisted a sword finger to protect my chest, gently pushed open the door with my left hand, and stepped in.
As soon as the door opened, I felt a dark wind blowing in my face, and I couldn't help but shiver even in the middle of summer.
"There's something weird about this house." My heart tightened slightly.
But I didn't have any timidity in my heart, and if something unclean struck me, I could have pressed a finger on it and poked it first.
I glanced around the room for a while, and in addition to the clutter, a paper figure in the corner caught my eye.
This paper figure is special in that it is placed on a wooden table, not standing, but sitting cross-legged, with an incense burner and a porcelain bowl in front of it.
But I couldn't see the paper figure, because its head was covered by a red cloth, like a bride's red hijab.
And what made me confused was that the posture of this paper figure cross-legged was very similar to the Taoist method of meditation, and for a while, I was amazed in my heart, could it be that this paper figure would also meditate and cultivate?
The more curious I became, I couldn't help but take a step and walk towards the paper figure.
As I got closer, I smelled a strong smell of blood, and when I got closer, I saw that the porcelain bowl in front of the paper man was suddenly filled with scarlet blood.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but feel creepy in my heart, what the hell is this remaining half-immortal going to do? Looking at this posture, he is obviously worshipping this paper figure with blood.
My scalp was numb for a while, and I had heard of offering to the Bodhisattva and the God of Wealth, but it was the first time I had encountered a paper man.
And what's even more evil is that Yu Banxian also fucking worships with sandalwood and blood, what does this old thing want to do? Aren't you afraid that the paper man absorbs incense and blood and becomes essence? Isn't this pure death?
I wanted to tear off the red cloth on the paper man's head to see what was going on, but then I thought about it and gave up.
After all, this is something that Yu Banxian worshipped, and the reason why he covered it with a red cloth may be something to say or taboo, but I still don't act rashly.
"Why did you get here?" Just as I was taking a closer look at the paper figure, Yu Banxian's voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
I looked back and saw Yu Banxian walking in sweating profusely, carrying a chicken, a duck, and a goose in his hands.
"Lao Yu, what are you doing so politely, just make a bite for dinner, you don't need big fish and meat, this thing is too tired to eat." I glanced at the chicken, duck and goose in his hand a few times, and said with a smile.
"You're thinking so beautifully, this thing isn't for you." Yu Banxian shook his head and said.
I was surprised, "Don't eat? So what do you buy them for? ”
"You'll understand in a moment."
As he spoke, Yu Banxian threw the chickens, ducks and geese to the ground, took out a switchblade from his pocket, and gently wiped them on his neck one by one, and bled the three animals very skillfully.
