Chapter 13 The Ancient House Paper Man

I'll admit that I was very stupid, but the purpose of this trip was to find Cai Weiwei's body.

The room was very dim, with only an old wooden bed and a faint oil lamp, and the whole room was only about six square meters in size, which was unusually narrow.

I walked in and looked at it, and immediately felt very weird, when I was outside just now, I heard the cry of a woman here, but after I walked in, I didn't see half a figure, so where did this cry come from?

The rain outside did not abate in the slightest, lightning and thunder roared outside the window, and the branches of the trees were swaying wildly with the wind and rain, as if the old house could be uprooted at any moment.

Exhaustive exhaustion and sleepiness swept over my body, and I gently crawled onto the wooden bed and closed my eyes and fell asleep.

With such a gloomy village in the mouth of Aunt Ma, and catching up with such ghost weather, it stands to reason that this old house is very gloomy, but I am so sleepy that I can't take care of it so much.

Halfway through his sleep, he heard the woman's grumbling cry again.

I snapped my eyes open, and at first I thought I was hallucinating, but the cry was coming from beneath my body.

Jumping out of bed quickly, his eyes scanned the six-square-meter room, not to mention hiding a big living person in this room, even if it was a little difficult to hide two dogs.

I squatted on the edge of the bed following the cry, and looked down at the bottom of the bed, my hairs standing on end. I clearly saw a paper figure under the bed, white and miserable, looking at the shape and size, it should be the bride who participated in the secret marriage.

In a panic, I didn't stand on my feet, and was about to run away, when the tip of my shoe hooked the leg of the bed, and with a strong force, the whole bed was overturned by me.

I screamed in pain, and I lay on the ground and watched the paper figure reappear.

At this time, Aunt Ma didn't know where to go, my legs were hooked by the wooden bed, I couldn't move at all, I took a closer look at the paper man, and I saw that the workmanship was good, and the outside was covered with a layer of white wedding dress, and the lower half of the body was really replaced by two wooden sticks tied to it.

Unexpectedly, it must have been after the secret marriage, and the family put it under the bed, only to see it lying motionless on the ground, with a peaceful smile on its face.

When I finally moved the wooden bed away from my lap and looked at the paper figure on the ground with curiosity, I realized that it was really possible to confuse the real thing.

It's just that, could it be that the resentful cry just now came from it?

I shook my head to myself, thinking that there should be no such strange thing in the world, and just as my eyes wandered, I suddenly realized where I had seen this face of the paper man.

There was a muffled thunder in the sky, and my brain almost didn't shout with a "buzz", and I ran out the door like crazy.

Running out of the small room, I was shocked to see that Aunt Ma had just come back from the dining place, I pointed to the inside of the small room, speechless.

Aunt Ma frowned tightly and asked, "Jiezi, what's wrong with you?" ”

I was anxious for a long time and didn't say why, and stammered for a long time and said to Aunt Ma urgently: "Follow me!" ”

Aunt Ma followed me into this small room of less than six square meters, and I pointed to the paper figure on the ground and said urgently: "Quick! Find out the photo you took from me earlier, look at this paper man! Something isn't quite right with this face! ”

Aunt Ma was also stunned, and hurriedly took out a handkerchief from her arms, and after opening it, Cai Weiwei's photo was lying quietly inside.

I quickly snatched this photo from Aunt Ma's hand and placed it next to the face of the paper man, after careful comparison, the face of the paper man turned out to be exactly the same as Cai Weiwei on the photo!

It seems that someone is clearly comparing Cai Weiwei's appearance, drawing a scoop according to the gourd, and drawing the pretty face of the paper man. I looked at Aunt Ma, I couldn't help but gasp, Aunt Ma was silent, her eyes stared at the paper figure lying on the ground, no matter how I spoke to her, she didn't answer.

When the person who organized the secret marriage returned to the big room outside after eating, I walked out with Aunt Ma, and an old woman surnamed Feng in the crowd should be the owner of this family, and at the same time, this secret marriage should also be handled by her.

There's something about paper figurines, and I guess she's the only one who knows best.

At this time, the rain outside did not stop at all, according to the previous plan of Aunt Ma and me, after the rain stopped, we continued to hurry, after all, it was cloudy here, and I was worried that I would have a long night and a lot of dreams if I stayed here.

But after the paper man's incident, I had a difference of opinion with her, and I insisted on clarifying the paper man's matter. After all, the paper man must have something to do with Cai Weiwei, even if it is really evil here, you have to figure it out before leaving.

Naturally, Aunt Ma couldn't resist me, so she took me to find Mrs. Feng, and Aunt Ma asked her about the origin of the paper man.

Old Lady Feng was in her last years, and she didn't have a few teeth left, so she pursed her lips and asked us, "Why are you asking this?" Paper Man, what does it have to do with you? ”

I said, "Of course it does, I'm here with you this time......"

Aunt Ma secretly scolded me, and said to Old Lady Feng and Yan Yuese: "This eldest sister, my nephew thinks of his girlfriend who has been dead for many years when he sees the paper figure, so he wants to ask you." Don't be surprised, kids. ”

Old Lady Feng coughed again and again, folded the paper figure in half, rolled it up and stuffed it into her arms, and said: "My son has a terminal illness and is about to die, and he has never found a daughter-in-law in his life, so I asked the ghost matchmaker to find him a family with his duty, so that my son can marry their daughter who has just passed away, so that my son can be happier over there." ”

After listening to Mrs. Feng's words, I seemed to be relieved, for fear that the family she asked the ghost matchmaker to find was not Cai Weiwei, after all, she also said that the daughter of that family had just passed away.

I hurriedly asked her, "What is the name of that family and where does it live?" ”

She looked at me and said, "Then I don't know, these are my family affairs, I've told you enough, you don't need to ask more." ”

I felt very frustrated, the matter had come to this point, only half of the truth was asked, and I was very helpless, so I could only wait for the rain to stop and follow Aunt Ma to find Cai Weiwei's body.

Aunt Ma and I stood outside the rain curtain, planning to continue our journey after the rain stopped, without delay.

I lit a cigarette and said dejectedly, "It seems that I can only gamble and see if I can find Cai Weiwei's body." ”

Aunt Ma didn't speak, looking at the old lady Feng who was limping and busy, her eyes were full of contemplation.

I wandered around Mrs. Feng's house alone, I have to say, Mrs. Feng's home is relatively solid, the scale of the construction of the courtyard is very atmospheric, six large houses are set up on the north and south sides, antique, very much the meaning of the landlord's mansion in the early days of liberation.

Such a big house, even if it is sold now, will definitely be able to sell for a good price. It should be that she is old, and the only son in the family is terminally ill, so she lives in this ghost place.

There is a house in the south that looks the most luxurious, and if it is cleaned a little, painted with wall paint, it is also very face-saving to use it directly for the new wedding house.

Unfortunately, the rain was still too heavy at that time, and there was no way to walk over and take a look, so I thought to myself, if I could accidentally pick up antiques and the like, then I would be rich when I went back.

Anyway, Old Lady Feng can't spend it if she has money, so I might as well spend it for her.

In the afternoon, the rain was noticeably lighter, and the sky was gradually opening up, and a few rays of sunlight were pouring out through the gaps in the dark clouds.

I took advantage of the fact that everyone in Mrs. Feng's house was resting in the room, and I quickly ran to the door of that room, looked around, and saw that there was no one around.

The furnishings in the room are very antique, and the calligraphy, paintings, and porcelain of the Ming and Qing dynasties can be seen everywhere. It's just that there should have been no one living in it for many years, and no one had cleaned it, and the whole room was covered with dust.

Among them, the most valuable is a piece of Liu Yong's "Yulin Bell" hanging on the wall, the pen is extraordinary, written in the "thin gold body" of Song Huizong, every word, can be called a level comparable to a work of art.

'Affectionate parting since ancient times, even more Nakan, snubbing the Qingqiu Festival. Where to wake up tonight, the willow bank, the wind and the waning moon. Over the years, it should be a good day and a good time, even if there are thousands of styles, who to talk to. ’

Just when I was looking a little intrigued, I suddenly heard a rapid gasp behind a screen on the left, and I gasped, thinking to myself that there was still someone in this room?

Immediately, a man's scream was heard.

It seemed that it was the son of Old Lady Feng, and I walked over with courage and was about to speak, when the next scene stunned me.

I saw the groom who participated in the secret marriage lying on the bed, his face was very hideous, he was only half of his body, and his hands were holding two mechanical prosthetic legs.

When he saw me, he threw one of the mechanical prosthetic legs in his arms at me, shouting hysterically, "You brought me poison again, didn't you?" You don't have to bother, as long as I have agreed before, after I have married the paper man in your family, you will send the balance of 150,000 yuan to my family, and I can die now, and I won't live for a minute! ”

After saying that, he screamed continuously, it was obvious that he should have eaten some poison before, and now, the poison was attacking in his body!

I was taken aback, my brain went blank, and I stood there completely stupid. According to Mrs. Fang Caifeng, her son was terminally ill and dying, so in order to make him happy over there, he asked the ghost matchmaker to find a family for him and marry the woman.

However, what I saw in front of me was completely opposite to what Old Lady Feng said.

This man kept saying that after marrying the paper man of their family, as long as he received the balance of 150,000 yuan, he could die directly.

The man was only half of his body, and the scene of lying on the bed was terrifying, and I was so frightened that I was covered in a cold sweat, and my upper teeth went straight to the bottom of my teeth.

It seems that Old Lady Feng is lying......
