Before long, Luo Xuyan came to the shop, and at this time there were things piled up in the house, and the guys were busy sorting and counting.

An old man with gray sideburns stood behind the counter, checking the numbers with his fellows.

The old man saw her coming, and said, "Miss and Uncle went out on errands. Follow Vera to the paper mill, Miss Ayan, and she'll tell you what you need to do today. ”

This old man is the manager of the shop, surnamed Bai, and has been with Luo Xuyan's father and mother for several years, and his daughter-in-law You Zhen is the sister-in-law Bai who took her around the shop last time.

Luo Xuyan nodded and responded, "Okay." ”

Sister-in-law Bai picked up two bundles of bamboo from the ground, nodded to her, and said with a smile: "Ayan, let's go." ”

"Okay." Luo Xuyan responded and followed her to the backyard.

You Zhen said: "Liu Haiwen, a wealthy businessman in Jingzhou, passed away, and the Liu family found our shop and handed over the funeral to us to take care of, saying that no matter how much silver taels were spent, as long as it was grand enough and had face, let Liu Haiwen be buried in the most decent way." So, some of you are busy during this time, but for Ah Yan, you should be able to learn and see a lot of things. ”

Luo Xuyan nodded, followed closely behind You Zhen, and walked into the paper workshop.

Several mothers-in-law sat under the porch, talking and laughing, while their hands were methodically and neatly tied with paper flowers and paper figures.

You Zhen put down the bamboo stick, beckoned, and said, "Miss Ayan, come, let's do it together." ”

"Okay." Luo Xuyan moved a pestle by herself, sat beside You Zhen, and watched her pick up a piece of cut paper, smear it with paste, and then stick it on the human shape made of bamboo strips, and learned to do it.

When the mother-in-law saw that the little lady really came to work in the shop, they looked at each other, and some curious mothers-in-law joked: "Little miss, aren't you scared here?" As he spoke, he pointed to a few paper figures placed against the wall.

From a distance, those paper figures are almost no different from real people, but their faces are showing an unusual crimson color, and their dead eyes are staring straight over, as if they can see through people's hearts at a glance, and the paper people's clothes are bright and chaotic colors, revealing a trace of weirdness.

The breeze blew, and the paper figure shook slightly, making a rustling sound, and it seemed to be a low chuckle in a trance.

The mother-in-law pointed to a young woman and said, "I remember that when Ah Cai first came, she was so frightened by those paper figures that she ran out on the spot. ”

Ah Cai's cheeks flushed, "How can there be......"

Several mothers-in-law laughed, and there was no malice in their tones.

Luo Xuyan said: "What is there to be afraid of? ”

The mother-in-law said mysteriously, "I'll tell you, Miss Ayan...... In the middle of the night, this paper figure will come to life, acting like a living person. ”

"Oh?" Luo Xuyan's face did not change, and asked, "Then what will they do?" ”

The mother-in-law sighed and said, "Of course, I did something bad that harmed people's lives." ”

Luo Xuyan "poofed" and smiled, "The paper figure carefully made is to replace the living, accompany the deceased to Huangquan, and take good care of him, how can it harm people?" ”

You Zhen glared at the woman and said, "That's right, so you don't talk nonsense and come to scare Miss Ayan." ”

The mother-in-law laughed and laughed again.

Luo Xuyan looked at the finished paper figure again.

However, as some believe, paper figures are considered evil creatures because they are too much like living beings, and come to life in the middle of the night to kill mortals.

She rolled her eyes and said to You Zhen, "Aunt Bai, can I go to the house and have another look?" I didn't understand it yesterday. ”

"Go ahead." You Zhen nodded.

The mother-in-law smiled again and said, "Miss Ayan, do you need Ah Cai to accompany you to the house?" ”

"Okay." Luo Xuyan nodded happily.

The mothers-in-law were originally just joking, but I didn't expect the little lady to really want someone to accompany them, look at each other, and think that they are young children, so it is common sense to have a fear of this kind of thing.

Luo Xuyan and Ah Cai walked quickly into the house, where there were all kinds of people and animals of all sizes, all kinds of paper, as well as archways, utensils, and flowers. The Xu family's shop pays attention to excellence, so no matter what kind of paper product it is, it is made as if it were real, so it makes this room feel a little chilly.

Obviously, the sunlight poured in through the window door, but after stepping into the house, people felt a little cool.

Ah Cai rubbed her arms and asked, "What does Miss Ah Yan want to see?" ”

"What do you think is the most terrifying and terrifying paper figure?" Luo Xuyan asked.

"Uh......" Ah Cai licked her lips and looked left and right, "Miss Ah Yan, how are you interested in this?" ”

"I'm just curious." Luo Xuyan blinked her eyes, her face was innocent and innocent.

Ah Cai smiled, although she had been coming to the coffin shop for some time, but when she stepped into this gloomy and cold room, she still felt a little afraid in her heart, feeling that those paper figures would come to life at any time, and then stretched out her claws and choked her throat.

Fortunately, she quickly thought about what had scared her, walked quickly to the bamboo basket in the corner, and took out an object.

"Miss Ayan, are you ready?"

"Hmm." Luo Xuyan nodded.

Ah Cai said: "It's really disgusting and terrifying." ”

"It's okay, in broad daylight." Luo Xuyan said, if you want to say where did you get the courage you have now...... I've died about once, so it's natural, right?

Ah Cai took a deep breath, then slowly reached out and showed her what was hidden behind her back.

A black thing broke into Luo Xuyan's eyes, and there was a bloody mouth, her heart beat violently, and then she fixed her eyes.

On the paper man's round head, a pair of huge round scarlet eyes, blood spread from the corners of the excessively cracked mouth, and it seemed to be able to move the hoarse and gloomy strange laughter heard in the black hole of the mouth, and the paper man's body was covered with a black linen robe, lined with a pale and terrifying face, and the limbs were made of thin bamboo poles.

Ah Cai said: "I was just frightened by this thing, and I don't know who hung it under the eaves, just like a child hanging there." ”

Luo Xuyan said: "It's really scary. She took the paper figure from Ah Cai's hand and shook it in her hand a few times, "Who did this?" ”

Ah Cai said: "I don't know who it is, no one knows...... I feel a little evil when I say that, Miss Ayan, you might as well give it to me. ”

"No......" Luo Xuyan dodged Ah Cai's hand and smiled slightly, "I think it's funny." ”

The sun fell on the little face full of smiles, which should have been bright and light, but looking at Ah Cai's eyes, Huo Ran's eyes widened, and his body trembled slightly.
