Chapter 19: The Paper Man Night Patrol

"Brother, it's a ghost!"

I was still pondering Chen Xi, and the fat man tugged on me excitedly.

"Be quiet!"

I gave him a kick and pulled him down to look down.

The terrain in the village is high on both sides, and in the middle, the position of me and the fat man is just right to have a full view of the situation below, without worrying about being exposed.

There were six people in the column below, each carrying a paper lantern, and the orange lights sprinkled all around, reflecting their figures clearly.

Melon skin hats, vest coats, powdered faces, gorgeous blushes, and stiff movements, none of these six people are human.

The paper man patrols the night, these four words come out of my heart.

Soon, these six people passed in front of us, and looking at the direction, they should have gone to the entrance of the village.

"Brother, what should we do next?" The fat man asked in a whisper.

"Wait!"

I spat out a word and looked thoughtfully in the direction of the village.

In the past few years, more than 20 people have disappeared from the expedition to Baoan Village, and no one has died, and the water in it is very deep!

Those who came out alive were not much better, most of them were crazy, and those who were not crazy were also secretive about the situation in the village.

Because of this, the reputation of Baoan Village is getting bigger and bigger, and many tourists who go to Ningquan Town come here to see and experience it during the day.

After about three minutes, the procession returned from its original path and headed deeper into the village.

As I expected, the paper men patrol the night, and they make the whole security village their own territory, patrolling back and forth.

"Let's go!"

After the paper figure team entered the village, I stood up and had to find Song Ling'er as soon as possible, and if I dragged it on, no one could have predicted what would happen.

The fat man got up, suddenly grabbed my arm, and stumbled: "Brother, brother, look behind you!" ”

"What's going on behind you?"

I turned around, and froze, the lights were on in the room, and a woman of about forty years old stood at the door, seeing us and waving at us.

"Brother, the lights are on on the other side!" The fat man pulled me again, his voice trembling, and he couldn't tell whether he was excited or scared.

On the other side of the road, all the houses that had been empty for several years were lit up, and faintly, you could see smoke coming from the chimneys, and all kinds of noises were coming at the same time.

There was the creaking sound of the water from the pressurized well, the noise between husband and wife, the crying of children, and the whole village came to life.

I glanced down at the time, eleven o'clock, and it was the beginning of midnight.

The changes have just begun, and if you want to find Song Ling'er as soon as possible, what will happen later is unpredictable.

Thinking of this, I said to the fat man, "Go, go to the haunted house!" ”

The haunted house is located in the middle of the village and after a three-minute walk, the haunted house arrived.

Unlike before, the haunted house is now lit with lights, smoke from the chimney, the door open, and through the window, you can see three people inside, a middle-aged man and two children.

"Let's go, let's go inside!"

I grabbed a handful of Blackie, pushed open the door, and walked inside first.

The fat man followed me, and Chen Xi fell last.

Walking to the door, I knocked twice, and the door creaked open, revealing a haggard woman's face.

The woman looked at us suspiciously and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

I gave the fat man a look, and the fat man stepped forward and said, "I was separated from my girlfriend, have you ever seen a girl with short hair that reaches her ears, her eyes are big, and she has a dimple when she laughs?" ”

"I've seen it!" The woman dodged away: "Go into the house, enter the house!" ”

The fat man looked sideways at me, and I thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then let's go into the house!" ”

Entering the house was the kitchen, the fire on the stove was very strong, and the steam was bubbling from the gap in the lid of the pot, making a gurgling sound, revealing a fragrance.

"Boss, didn't you tell me that you had seen a girl, and someone from someone else found it!"

When she entered the house, the woman shouted.

"What are you yelling about!"

A middle-aged man walked out of the back room, looked at us a few times, and asked, "The friend you are looking for is surnamed Song, right?" ”

"Yes!" I replied.

"Go back, the girl is gone!" The man waved his hand.

"Gone? No way. "The fat man is in a hurry.

"Don't believe it!" The man's face sank, and he turned around to go back to the house.

"Brother?" The fat man gave me a look.

"Wang Feng." I called out a name.

The man paused for a moment before turning back and asking, "How do you know my name?" ”

"Imposter!"

I muttered, and took a step forward, and the black skin stabbed out directly, penetrating the man's body.

"Master!"

The woman screamed and rushed at me.

Chen Xi stepped forward in silence and punched the woman's temple, the woman snorted, flew out, and fell to the ground without a sound.

Inside, the two children heard the movement and rushed out.

"Meow!"

Xiao Hei screamed, ran out and slapped one by one, knocking the two children to the ground.

"Brother, what's going on?" The fat man asked with a confused expression.

"See for yourself!" I pointed to a family of four who had fallen to the ground.

The fat man went over and looked at them one by one, and there were four paper figures who fell to the ground, the man's stomach was broken and he was lying on his back on the ground, his head was broken, the woman's head was deflated, and the two children fell apart.

"The man's name is Wang Feng, the woman's Qi Hongli, two children, one is called Wang Yuguo, the other is called Wang Yuhao, and the family of four was hung on the beam of the house back then." I raised my hand and pointed to the beams above, and said, "At that time, the funeral of this family of four was handled by my grandmother, and the bodies of their family of four were cremated, burned on the hanging rope, and the ashes were buried in the cemetery." ”

"Brother, you mean that the four of them can't be here, right?" The fat man came back to his senses.

"That's right!" I nodded.

I know Grandma's methods that these four have no chance of becoming ghosts.

The fat man lowered his head and inspected the four paper figures again, and said, "Brother, this paper figure is not bad!" ”

"Meow!"

Little Black jumped back, pulled me with his paws, and pointed outside.

I glanced out, and outside the gate, the first night patrol paper figure appeared at some point.

The old yellow head was also there, he stood silently next to the team of paper figures, looking at the situation, it seemed that he was confronting the paper people.

"Let's go, your Ling'er is probably gone!" I said with a sigh.

The current situation of the ghost village is clearly mastered.

The night patrol paper man is like a watchdog, inspecting the ghost village, is patrolling the territory for the master, and those who have disappeared in the past few years are probably taken away by these paper people.

As for the old yellow head, the situation is not clear for the time being, and he doesn't seem to be all the way with these paper figures.

"Uncle Huang!"

Out of the haunted house, I said hello to the old yellow head.

"Listen to the uncle's words, let's go, Baoan Village is not a place where you living people should come." The old yellow man bent his waist, took two steps forward, hung the oil lamps on the door, and the paper figures stepped back and gave way to the door.

"Old Yellow Head, how did we agree at the beginning, you won't forget, right?"

At this moment, a shrill voice came from the loess road below.

Hearing this voice, the old yellow man's face changed, and he said, "Hurry up!" ”

"Thank you!"

I thank you again, the old yellow head is kind, he wants to save me.

"Old yellow head!"

The shrill voice sounded again, and the old yellow head looked at me deeply, sighed, lifted the oil lamp, bent his waist, and walked into the darkness.

"That's right, the people belong to me, and the ghosts belong to you, this is something we have discussed a long time ago." The shrill voice said with a touch of smugness.

I thought about it, clenched the black skin, and stared at the door, when the main thing appeared.

Soon, a sedan chair came up the path and appeared in our sight.

The sedan chair is a sedan chair made up of bamboo poles, on which sits an old lady with a black headscarf and goosebumps, and the old lady holds a crutch in her hand and beats the sedan chair man from time to time.

The palanquin man is not a paper man, nor a ghost, but four weasels, who look like people and stand upright.

Four weasels, each about a meter tall and shiny with shiny hair, shouted hey-yo as they walked.

The sedan chair stopped in front of the gate, and the old lady got down from the sedan chair with a crutch, and her yellow-brown eyes swept back and forth between me and the fat man twice, and said, "Your guests are coming, your guests are coming!" ”

"I don't know what to call it?" I arched my hand and said hello.

"The old body is at home for four, you can call the old body Huang Si grandma." The old lady let out a shrill laugh and said.

"You're worthy?"

A disdainful laugh sounded from behind me, it was Chen Xi.

"Who?"

Grandma Huang Si looked awe-inspiring and snorted.

"Me!"

Chen Xi walked out from behind him and coldly spit out a word.

Grandma Huang Si looked at Chen Xi suspiciously for a while, and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"Don't care who I am, if you don't want to die, let people go, get out of the way, and send us away, otherwise it's ......" Chen Xi said with a sneer.

The threat in the words is obvious, and even a fool can hear it.

"Hehe, no one has dared to talk to the old man like this for many years." Grandma Huang Si laughed sharply, and her yellow-brown pupils revealed a fierce color.

"Stupid!"

Chen Xi didn't say a word and rushed out.
