Chapter 6 Craftsmen
"Those classmates brought by Xiao Ran, I look like the kind of ........ in a horror movie Cannon fodder. I didn't move anything, messed around with small actions, and finally was rectified by ghosts one by one. Jian Jue teased on the road, making Li Zhonglou in front of him turn around and say: "Don't curse, it's evil enough, I'm afraid of your crow's mouth." You must know that the crow's beak at this time is the most spiritual. ”
Jian definitely smiled embarrassedly, he put away his smile, and anxiously pinched his phone to look, "My phone has no signal, how are you, Brother Li?" He raised his eyes and looked at the sky: it was still cloudy, it did not rain, it did not go cloudy, as if he had abandoned this land, and as if time had frozen, it stopped forever in a cloudy day.
Such a village doesn't even deserve to see the sun? Jane said to herself.
"Neither do I." Li Zhonglou also frowned, and sighed with some annoyance.
Jian Jue quickened his pace, "I'm watching an American thriller, the mobile phone has no signal, and the protagonist and his party were brutalized by local villagers...... Okay, okay, I won't talk about it. ”
They returned to Dai Xianxian's house, and first looked into the courtyard, where the wind was calm and calm, and a few chickens were leisurely wandering around the courtyard.
At this time, the voices of several college students came from the back room, which slowly became clearer and closer to them.
Kiki ran out of the house, with a smile on her face, "Haha, Xiao Ran, do you think this doll looks like you?" Well? ”
Xiao Ran stopped talking to her, and held back a few words, "Listen to me.... Listen to me..., Kiki, it's not good.... It's about to be thrown away.... Xiao Ran wanted to grab Qiqi, but Qiqi turned around to avoid it several times, Qiqi flashed past Xiao Ran, ran towards the gate, and just bumped into Li Zhonglou and them.
"What about the maid surnamed Dai?" Jane asked hurriedly.
"She went to the villagers' meeting." Kiki grinned, completely unaware of anything, "Yo, legendary ghost detective, do you think there is a conspiracy in this village?" Yes? Haha...."
Jian Jue couldn't answer for a while, because he saw a hint of amusement on the girl's face.
"Hahahaha, Aunt Dai said that there are few people in the village at this time, because the seventh half of the lunar calendar is coming, and everyone is reluctant to go out. As for the little girl we met," Kiki sighed and continued, "She just had a problem with her brain, and it was useless for her father to ask the Taoist priest to call the little girl's soul, it was originally feudal superstition, and the little girl went on like this, alas, it was also pitiful." ”
Kiki didn't care about other people's expressions, and showed off with a rag doll: "You see, the grandmother in the village gave it to make a doll stand-in, which can ensure that we have a safe Halloween." My grandmother's family used to make puppets, and she couldn't make any money, so she bought dolls... But this doll really looks like Xiao Ran. ”
When Li Zhonglou heard the latter sentence, he immediately snatched the doll, and then apologized to Qiqi, he looked at it carefully for a while, and breathed a sigh of relief: "The fetal hair hasn't been done yet..., it's just an unformed doll." ”
"Fetal hair... The old grandmother also said yes, so I cut her and did the doll's hair. Kiki thought about it for a moment and said.
Jian Jue stood in place dumbfounded, his expression froze, and he asked in a daze, "Did you give the eight characters of your birthday?" ”
"Satsuki seems to.... Given, the old lady said it was going to... Be a red thread.... Help in marriage. Oops, she wants to tie up the senior one day. ”
"Don't you know that you can't give people a birthday?" Jian Jue was in a hurry.
Kiki didn't care, but said, "It's fun." It's not easy for grannies, what's wrong with spending money on a few dolls? She's not ready yet, we'll have to get it later. As soon as Kiki finished speaking, Jian Jue burst out laughing with a bitter face: "Ahahahahaha...... You guys are really ...... Hit with blessings. ”
"What's wrong with you? Nerves, huh? Kiki stepped back, thinking the ghost detective was weird.
Xiao Ran shook his head at Jian Jue and said softly, "I stopped... But they thought it was fun. Li Zhonglou patted her, "I don't blame you, but we have to let your classmates leave quickly." ”
Jian Jue pulled Li Zhonglou aside and looked at Qiqi, who was bored and went back to the house to play with the seniors. At this time, Jian Jue said: "I can't go, I really can't go." As soon as the hair arrives in your hand, as soon as you get your birthday, you will have a basic human form! ”
Li Zhonglou didn't panic, he asked Jian Jue to calm down, "Let's go and solve those handmade dolls while we have time before the evening." If you work harder, you'll be given more commissions when the time comes. ”
"Don't talk about that, ghost detectives are hard work. Let's go.... Abu ..... I'll ask where the old woman is. Jian Jue also followed into the house.
Xiao Ran was still in the courtyard, she stepped forward and whispered to Li Zhonglou: "Brother Li, I took my father's travel diary to see it myself." I found out that when my father came to visit, there was a street selling handicrafts in this village. There were very few people at that time. Now that we go to see, there's just one grandmother left. Originally, I was leaving, but they weren't interested in rag dolls, so they ...... But that rag doll is what it looks like a modern toy, and I really haven't seen a puppet when my father speaks. ”
"Don't act on your own...—by the way, what else do you know, remember to tell Jian Jie." Li Zhonglou tugged at Ran Qin's sleeve and took her to the other side and said slowly.
Xiao Ran said: "They asked the grandmother about everything, and I didn't have anything to do, so I just looked around." When I saw the compartment, I pushed the door in, it was quite dark, and when I closed the door, I turned on the flashlight on my mobile phone and saw several large cabinets, all of which were dusty. I opened it and saw that it was full of puppets, and at first I thought it was a child's face, because the puppets were so real. I heard no movement outside, so I continued to look, and there were all in every cabinet, but some were intact, and some were damaged, and there was no head. I didn't see anything else. ”
"They didn't find out, huh?"
"No, I locked myself up there, and they didn't pay attention. However, the room where the puppets were placed was always moving, so I was afraid that the outside would hear it, so I went out early. Xiao Ran still felt pity, and Li Zhonglou couldn't help but ask: "Aren't you afraid when you hear a strange noise?" ”
"I'm not afraid...."Ran Qin looked innocent and said strangely, "It's all puppets and they won't come back to life." ”
Li Zhonglou muttered, "That's not necessarily... That, Xiao Ran, do you know where the grandmother who made the rag doll is? ”
Ran Qin said, "I know, but this time I'm going with you." ”
"Where?" Jian Jue walked out of the house, and when he heard Ran Qin going to follow, he shook his head: "I'm afraid that you have a bad heart and see things that you shouldn't see." ”
Unexpectedly, Li Zhonglou said: "She is really not afraid, she is usually timid because she is afraid of people." ”
"What, in case of danger, I can get out, Xiao Ran can't. After all, you and I are both professionals..... It's all men! Jian Jue almost missed it, Ran Qin didn't know that Li Zhonglou was the same as Jian Jue before.
"Then forget it," Li Zhonglou sighed, patted Ran Qin's shoulder, and said solemnly, "You must take good care of your classmates." As long as we go well, we can take them away tomorrow morning. Xiao Ran, I really can't take them anymore, this is not a joke. ”
Ran Qin didn't say anything more, just nodded.
This time, Li Zhonglou carried his bag on his back. They left again, and heard that the villagers were going to a meeting, which was also a good opportunity to investigate. On the way, Li Zhonglou also asked Jian Jie, obviously asking Xiao Ran, why did he have to chase after Qiqi and ask them.
"I'll take a look at whether they are all together, don't say it, it's better than a horror movie, they don't walk around, they all sit on the bed and play with their phones. That Yu Xingyang, senior Xiao Ran still asked, what is Xiao Ran doing in the yard. As soon as I said to be with you, he stopped squeaking. Hey, got a cat? ”
"Don't think about it, Xiao Ran usually doesn't refuse people, that young man chases her, she is very embarrassed, I usually help her block." Li Zhonglou was also depressed when he thought about it, "It's really annoying, usually that kid sticks to Xiao Ran, and he is still sticky at this time." ”
Chatting about trivial matters allowed the two to relax, and soon, they found a place to sell rag dolls. A wooden door was hidden, and the old woman was not seen. It's more like a grocery store, in addition to rag dolls, mineral water melon seeds and the like outside the door, as well as some snacks. Jian Jue picked it up and looked at it, it was basically expired, but he was not surprised by the reason.
Pushing open the door and confirming that no one was there, the two of them went inside to find the rag doll they were making.
"If you find your hair, burn it," Li Zhonglou began to rummage, the wound on his hand was not healed, and when he turned it over, he was also lightly and silently, "Do you know how to break the body when it is formed?" ”
"Seal the seven tricks. Puppeteers, puppeteers, wait for the puppets to haunt them and see what they do. I don't even know that people don't talk about taboos now, hair, eight characters, casually give people. This is taboo on our ghost detective's side. "Jian Jue has a lot of hatred for iron but not steel.
"Forget it, they're all ordinary people, and they don't know. compartment..., that's what Xiao Ran said. I'll go in and have a look, you can find it faster. Li Zhonglou pushed open the door of the cubicle and found that there was no light at all, and he couldn't see his fingers, and it was full of dull musty smell.
Jian Jue didn't find it outside, this place is so big, except for a few plastic dolls like modern toys, nothing else can be found. So with a flashlight, I also went into the compartment to look. The two flashlights barely lit up the compartment, but the walls were not cemented, they were all made of bricks, and there was not a single window that had any gaps.
There are four large cabinets in the compartment, all of which are some years old.
Just when the two of them were still wandering around, checking around, they suddenly heard that the door of the cubicle had been locked!
"Who!" Li Zhonglou rushed forward, but unfortunately it was too late, and the door had already been locked. And the man outside the door did not speak, not even make a sound, and heard the sound of the door closing and locking, and the man locked the door outside.
"Oh no, someone came back and found us! If you have to find a way to get out, there are no windows here, and we'll suffocate here. Jian Jue's attention was still at the door, and he didn't notice that something was moving in the cabinet behind him.
"Crunch........"
The two of them turned back together..... The door to the cabinet was opened, revealing several smiling puppets inside.
