Chapter 8: Mutation
I know that there must have been a change in the paper figure on my back, but I keep in mind my uncle's advice not to look back no matter what happens.
Although I was afraid, but at the same time, there was a kind of happiness in my heart, the paper figure was getting heavier and heavier, did it mean that the female ghost had returned?
In that case, then my mission for tonight is complete.
"Daughter-in-law! It's back! ”
Thinking of this, I shouted again.
After a while, I came to the bottom, and at this time, the paper figure had become very heavy, and I felt that what I was carrying on my back was not a light paper figure, but a middle-aged man.
Standing at the bottom of the valley, I exhaled deeply and finally reached the end.
According to my uncle's arrangement, I can turn around and go home.
I rested for a few seconds, intending to turn around and try to run home in one go, as soon as possible.
After a few big breaths, I lifted the paper figure on my back up, and was about to leave, when I suddenly felt a hand touch under my crotch!
This surprise was not trivial, my hair stood upside down, and I was so frightened that I didn't even dare to move.
Despite the cool breeze at night, the cold sweat on my head was running down my head.
Delusion?
The feeling just now was very, very real, that hand was soft and there was no temperature.
Realizing this, I hit a spirit and almost threw the paper figure on my back!
I froze in place for a while, and when I saw that there was no movement, I was relieved.
Maybe it's too cold in the middle of the night, and I just sent away a wave of ghosts, so I have a delusion, anyway, there is an uncle following me, if it's really dangerous, the uncle would have acted a long time ago.
I comforted myself with this, breathed a sigh of relief again, lifted my foot, and prepared to turn around.
But as soon as I took a step, my crotch suddenly tightened!
This time the feeling was very real, it was just the feeling of being touched by something before, but this time it was directly grasping, and the hand reached out from behind me and grabbed my thing.
My scalp exploded, I forgot all the instructions, and almost reflexively turned my head to look behind me.
Because out of instinct, I twisted my neck a little too much, and the head of the paper figure on my shoulder was pulled, and it happened to turn my face sideways, and I turned my head and made eye contact with her.
The paper man's eyes were large and bright, and at this time he laughed like a human being, squeezing into a small crescent.
"......" I was scared to pee, and as soon as I let go of my hand, the smooth paper figure slid down from my back!
"Giggle ......"
A strange and piercing laugh rang in my ears, and this laughter was not a woman, but a rough male voice, the kind made by a big man who picked his feet.
My hairs stood on end.
All along, I thought that the paper figure was getting heavier because of the female ghost's possession, but now there is a man's duck voice.
The soul in the paper figure is definitely not the female ghost, I shouted "daughter-in-law, I'm back to the door", and provoked a?
At this time, I was so frightened that my heart was about to beat to my throat, where did I remember the uncle's warning, I didn't think about it, I threw the paper man to the ground, and ran forward for dozens of meters in one breath.
"Uncle!"
I shouted.
Uncle said he would follow me not far behind, but when I looked around, I didn't see his figure.
Uncle lost it!
Ten thousand grass and mud horses floated by in my heart, and my uncle was too unreliable.
At this moment, the "giggle" laughter sounded behind me again, and I looked back to see the paper figure standing up from the ground tremblingly, staring at me with a fierce light.
I ran with my legs, but my legs were too weak to run, and in a few moments the paper man caught up, and a flying pounce knocked me to the ground, and his hands grabbed me by the neck.
Although the hands were made of paper, they were as if they were forged of steel, so hard and powerful that they stuck to my throat, and no matter how hard I struggled, I could not break free.
I coughed incessantly as I cracked the paper man's fingers as hard as I could, taking a moment to relax and take a breath of air.
Seeing this, the strength of the paper man's hand increased again, and while he was exerting his strength, he looked down at me, and the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were full of humanized hideousness.
My neck was almost snapped, my mouth was wide open, golden flowers appeared in front of my eyes, and my mind gradually went blank.
If there were outsiders present, they would have seen me start rolling the whites of my eyes and breathe dying.
"Evil spirit, be killed!"
At this moment, a loud shout came from behind the paper man.
My uncle.
I saw the uncle holding a peachwood sword in his hand, jumping out from behind a big locust tree, and the tip of the sword was aimed at the head of the paper man.
The paper man twisted his green skull and looked at it, and let out a frightened scream, and the hand around my neck loosened.
I gasped and took the opportunity to knock down the paper figure, took two deep breaths, and sat up from the ground.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the paper figure got up from the ground and slipped into the depths of the locust forest.
The uncle hurriedly ran over, put away the peachwood sword, squatted down and said with a concerned face: "Xiaofan, are you okay?" ”
I was suffocated for a long time, my head was dizzy, and my whole body was still sore.
Taking a few big gasps, I waved my hand to indicate that I was okay, and then complained, "Uncle, where have you been?" Didn't you say you would always follow me, why did I disappear when I turned around? ”
Don't blame me for complaining, if Uncle had come a little late, I might have hung up here.
Seeing that I was fine, the uncle wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Xiaofan, I was entangled by a little ghost outside just now." ”
I thought of the little kids outside the locust forest who were playing with handkerchiefs and shouting for candy, and asked the uncle, "Didn't you give them paper money?" ”
Uncle said: "You gave it once, those little ghosts are not fooled." ”
As he spoke, the uncle brushed the corners of his clothes, and I found that his clothes were all scratched and torn, and he looked very embarrassed.
I was speechless for a while, this situation should have been considered by the uncle.
However, I didn't dwell on this matter, and now the paper man has fallen, and the head should have returned, and the uncle said that I have committed all the taboos, and I asked what to do next.
The uncle glanced at the direction of the paper man's escape and said to me: "Xiao Fan, the paper man's shell is occupied by wild ghosts, you wait here, I'll chase it back." ”
As soon as I heard that Uncle was going to leave me here alone, I hurriedly said, "Uncle, I don't dare." ”
Not to mention, if those little kids outside run in, what should I do alone.
Uncle handed me a piece of rune paper and said, "Xiaofan, don't worry, if you see something unclean, you can use this rune paper to call it in the face, and it won't dare to approach." ”
I can't cry or laugh, Uncle said it easily, call it face, I have to dare to call it.
But Uncle didn't care what I thought at all, stuffed the rune paper into my hand, and immediately chased in the direction where the paper man had just fled.
I immediately panicked, chased after me and shouted, "Uncle, I'll go with you." ”
"Listen to me, stay where you are." The uncle didn't look back, and said, "If you go, you'll be held back!" ”
Uncle was very agile, and when he spoke, he quickened his pace, and he was dressed in black, and soon his body disappeared into the thick night, and I couldn't catch up at all.
So, I was the only one in this gloomy locust forest.
