My name is Shen Qiao, an ordinary college student, but I have another identity, you may not believe it when you say it, it is the color maker in the Seven Tunes.

According to my grandmother, our family has been doing this craft for generations, and there have been master-level figures.

It's a pity that the next generation is not as good as the generation, my mother said that when I was born, my grandfather and my father almost threw me away when they saw that I was a girl.

Fortunately, my grandmother wisely took me with her and taught me the craft of a colorsmith for more than ten years, but I am not good at learning, which is a half-baked level.

Later, I relied on my half-baked skills and lived in the paper shop left by my ancestors.

On this day, Aunt Zhou in the village called me, and I was anxious to hear her tone on the phone, as if something terrible had happened, and I was so frightened that I hurriedly closed the door and rushed to the countryside.

I live across the river from my hometown, so if you want to cross the river, you have to take a ferry.

On the outskirts of the river.

I looked at my watch and it was almost eight o'clock, and I didn't know if there was a ferry at this point, which was strange, it had just entered autumn, and it was so cold by the river that I was so cold that I was freezing in a long-sleeved jacket.

I wrapped my coat around me and looked out toward the river.

In less than ten minutes, many people have come one after another, I am a little surprised, there are so many people to cross the river at this point?

At this moment, the sound of a rumbling machine was heard in the distance, and a dilapidated ship slowly approached me, stopping in front of my eyes.

The one who rocked the boat was an older man, and he urged a little impatiently: "Hurry up, hurry up and get on the boat, this is the last shift, I'm in a hurry to get off work." ”

The people in front of the queue boarded the ship in an orderly manner.

And I was thinking, I don't know what happened to Aunt Zhou's family now, and whether grandma has passed.

Seeing that I was in a daze, the uncle roared twice: "What the hell is going on with you, crossing the river or not?" Don't waste someone's time if you don't cross the river. ”

I was stunned for a moment, looking at the faces of the people lining up behind me, and everyone had a little impatience on their faces: "Crossing." ”

I was a little embarrassed and hurriedly stepped on the splint, but the clothes behind me were vigorously tugged, and I turned back a little angrily.

It was a little girl with a double ponytail, wearing a white skirt with a placket, and she was looking at me with big watery eyes, so cute: "Sister, I don't have any money, can you help me pay for it?" My grandma is waiting for me in front, and when I get there, I'll give you back the money. ”

Grandma? Is it grandma? In the countryside, even if it is just a town apart, the dialect is very different.

I watched as the little girl's lips were blue from the cold, and I reached out and pinched her little face, and in an instant a biting chill rushed from my heel to my head.

I subconsciously withdrew my hand and laughed dryly: "Of course you can, you can come up first, how much is the boss alone." ”

"Three dollars a person."

I touched a few jingling coins in my pocket, a little embarrassed: "That boss, can you pay Alipay at home?" I'm in a hurry to go out and don't bring cash. ”

"That's WeChat, there's Alipay, scan the code to pay, and everyone else consciously pays the money and goes on the road." The boatman gave me a blank look and said a few words of swearing.

I scanned the QR code next to it, paid six yuan, and re-entered the little girl's side, seeing that she was cold, I took off my coat and put it on her body.

The boss glanced at me with a look of disdain: "Little girl, don't do bad things with good intentions." ”

I ignored him, and I don't know if it was because I got to the lake, and there was no signal on my phone.

I was bored, and looked at the guests on the boat, and the old man on the left, with a birdcage in his hand, an old-fashioned pipe in his mouth, a round hat on his head, a white jacket on his top, and a pair of black trousers on his bottom.

There was also a young man standing next to him, he had a dragon and a tiger tattooed on his body, combing the head shape of the murderer of Matt more than ten years ago, he looked like a gangster who was not doing his job, the two muttered and didn't know what they were talking about, and there was an eldest sister sitting in front of him, and she was wearing a cheongsam with a child in her arms.

A cool breath hit my neck, and then an ethereal voice came from my ears: "Why are you so disobedient, get off the ferry immediately." ”

When I said this, I looked confused and asked, "What do you mean, I haven't arrived yet?" ”

At this time, a gust of lake wind blew from nowhere, and the wind blew the eldest sister's cheongsam, and she ...... She didn't even have a lower body, where was a child in her arms, it was clearly a dead baby with a blue face and blood at the corners of her lips...... It's a shroud! Not to mention the young man crawling with maggots.

My heart was pounding, and I was so nervous that I shrank around the corner, and I lowered my long hair to cover my frightened face, and I really didn't have the courage to look at the little girl next to me anymore.

No matter how stupid I am, I understand, and I understand that I'm on the Yin Ferry.

At this time, the uncle shouted: "In the middle of July, the Day of the Dead, the big ghosts and little ghosts are still coming." Don't go to the living, don't call your name at night. Traveling in yellow clothes, detouring in water. Rush into the dead soul, and trouble will come to the door! ”

Ghost Festival!

I never thought it was July and a half.

In the middle of July, the ghost door opened, and all the big ghosts and little ghosts went ashore to enjoy the incense sent to them by their relatives in the world.

Just when I didn't know what to do, the ethereal voice came again: "Don't be afraid, get off the boat at the ferry in front, there is a yellow charm in the schoolbag, and immediately use it to tie a paper horse when you get off the boat." ”

"Okay......" I took the backpack from the back to the front, and with a shake of my hand, the backpack fell into the cabin, and my calves trembled and I couldn't stand up.

"Hehe, look at your timid look." The voice behind him teased.

I stiffened my head, quickly reached out and grabbed my schoolbag back, took out a yellow charm from the schoolbag and held it in my hand.

The boat moved slowly with the shouting of the uncle, and a cold hand was on my shoulder in a gust of wind, and then a cry came: "Qiao Ya, I am your Aunt Zhou." ”

Aunt Zhou?

I was just about to turn back, but my shoulders sank again, as if someone had pressed me back.

I fixed my mind, and then I felt that something was wrong, this boat is full of ghosts, why is Aunt Zhou here?

"Don't die, no matter who tells you, don't look back, I heard it." The same voice again, this time with anger.

"Yes." I tensed my nerves, and I didn't dare to pay attention to Aunt Zhou behind me, nor did I dare to look around.

Hey.

Why are the soles of my feet a little wet?
