Chapter Twenty-Nine: Panic Staged
Zhao Lao's abacus can be said to be very good, thinking that after he takes over the power of the village head, he will find a way to get Widow Li, who has always ignored him, so that his family business can be fully prepared.
And this plan was indeed implemented quite smoothly as early as the beginning, with a long face, and Gou Liuzi and others died tragically in the hands of the pair of paper men under his command. It's just that the good times didn't last long, and within two days, he discovered Widow Li's strange appearance, and faintly felt that Widow Li seemed to be someone outside.
Later, he followed Widow Li up the mountain, and found out that Widow Li had a secret tryst with a mysterious man. This discovery also completely disrupted his plans, and at that moment he seemed to hear the sound of his heart falling to the ground and shattering, and it was really painful to die.
So he instructed the paper figures to go to the mountains to find the mysterious man's hiding place, and ordered them to kill him when they found him, and then returned to the village to deal with Widow Li as well.
Not long after he came down from the mountain that day, the village chief's son came to inform them to go to Xu Laohan's house to mourn, although he didn't show too much emotion on his face at that time, but there was a burst of suspicion in his heart, I don't know why the village chief, who has been trying to suppress this matter, suddenly made it clear to the villagers.
Although he was a little apprehensive in his heart, he relied on two powerful blood-sucking paper people in his hands, and he was fearless for a while. Besides, he never let those two paper figures into the house, so no one would ever find out that this series of things had anything to do with him.
After dealing with Xu Laohan's condolence ceremony, he returned home absentmindedly, and his mind was full of scenes of Widow Li and the man's secret private meeting on the road.
Although he had already given an order to the paper man, and thought that the two paper men would definitely suck the dog man and woman dry, but somehow, he still had a faint sense of crisis in his heart.
As soon as he got home, he had just returned home. Something very unexpected happened to him - the two paper figures entered the house without his permission. Not only that, but they are even more unscrupulous lying on the bed that originally belonged to him!
The paper figure lay straight on the bed, with a humane smirk on his face, motionless.
Although Zhao Laowei was taken aback at that time, because he was used to directing the paper people in front of him, he really thought that he was their master, so he thundered at them.
Because they had communicated with themselves before, and they were also able to understand their own orders, Zhao Lao Crooked felt that these two things must also know what is good and what is not good.
But when he cursed hard. But it was a little embarrassing to find that they were still lying upright on the bed, not listening at all.
Now he was really angry, and he didn't talk nonsense anymore and directly carried them one by one in his hands, and then threw them outside. That's why he dared to do it. The main reason was that it was raining heavily, and he didn't think anyone would be idle enough to pass by.
Of course. He was not afraid that these two paper figures would be dozen. After all, they are "living things" and not dead things.
After throwing the paper figure out of sight and out of mind, he returned to his room, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he thought that he had been lying on his bed by two monsters who killed people without blinking.
But at this time, he couldn't take care of much, because the symptoms of lack of sleep had begun to manifest, in addition to dizziness and weakness. Even his eyelids were already starting to droop.
Zhao Lao fell asleep very quickly after going to bed, almost coming up on his front feet, and his snoring came from his back feet. But at this time, he was locked up. The door of the house, which had been bolted inside, was pushed open very strangely, and then two paper figures with blood-colored eyeballs walked in with a smirk.
After that, they climbed onto the bed one after another, and slept next to Zhao Lao's crooked side one after another.
At this time, Zhao Lao was crooked, but he didn't know it.
When Zhao Laowei woke up from his dream in the afternoon, he was shocked to find that there were two paper figures lying beside him. Both paper figures twisted their faces towards him, and their mouths were grinning as if they had been drawn with a pen, which was terrifying.
Zhao Lao was so frightened that he hurriedly jumped off the bed, and after he calmed down a little, he couldn't help but curse the things lying on the bed, and threw them out again.
But because the darkness under the torrential rain at this time was no different from the dark sky, this time he threw them far away, and then he gave up and returned.
But what can be imagined is that it was not long before they appeared in front of him again.
After dozens of attempts in the past few days, the luck in Zhao Lao's heart was finally completely shattered, and he had to accept the fact that he was extremely disappointed - the two paper figures had completely disobeyed his dispatch.
They just lay motionless on the bed, indifferent to whatever it said, like a pair of dead things that would not have moved in the first place.
Zhao Lao Crooked doesn't want to spend any more time with these two things, since they don't listen to themselves at all, it is a scourge to keep them around, it is better to dispose of them as soon as possible, so as not to be discovered by others in the long night.
"I'll ask you one last time, are you leaving?"
Zhao Lao Wei took the oil lamp on the table in his hand and asked in a cold tone.
The two paper figures were still motionless, ignoring Zhao Lao's crooked appearance.
"Good, very good!"
Zhao Lao was on a par with them, and at this time, no matter how powerful their abilities were before, he directly raised the oil lamp in his hand, and then went to light the paper figure closest to him.
But just as the flame of the oil lamp was about to approach the paper man, the paper man's head suddenly turned mechanically, and then its face showed human viciousness, and its mouth suddenly blew out the oil lamp in Zhao Lao's crooked hand.
Suddenly, the room was plunged into darkness with no fingers visible.
Zhao Lao's crooked movements also froze at the moment when the oil lamp in his hand was blown out by the paper man, and when he reacted from his shock, he saw two pairs of fierce eyes flashing in the darkness.
Zhao Lao was stared at coldly, and the previous arrogant arrogance was immediately extinguished by fear, he subconsciously took a step back, and then begged for mercy again and again:
"You ...... Live here, and I will never drive you away. How long do you want to stay......"
Before Zhao Lao's trembling words were finished, his body stiffened suddenly, and then he fell to the ground and began to scratch wildly all over his body:
"Itchy...... It's tickling me......"
A few minutes later, Zhao Lao's sucked dry human skin was paved on the wet ground, and on the human skin, his facial features were completely distorted into a whirlpool, barely human.
It can be seen that this is exactly the revenge of the two paper men for Zhao Lao's accusations against them these days.
……
Even though it was late, there were still bursts of fire coming out of Old Man Xu's mansion.
"I've already said everything I need to say, the reason why this wilderness village keeps dying again is because of the continuous unsealing and release of these strange talking artifacts.
The number of strange artifacts released is large. More people died in the village, and vice versa, fewer people died. ”
Chen Cheng was still repeating the topic that he was tired of talking about.
"That is to say, there is actually a limit to the number of people killed by strange talking objects." Xiao Mo looked at Chen Cheng, and Chen Cheng smiled gloomily:
"It's useless to have restrictions. There are only so many people in the village, there is simply not enough for them to kill. ”
Chen Cheng gave everyone the information he had learned in the village over the years. And in return. Everyone also told Chen Cheng about the curse in general. When Chen Cheng learned some of the general information about the curse, the previous rejection was reduced.
Regarding Chen Cheng's rebuttal, Xiao Mo only smiled, because he just said it casually. At this time, the monk who was not good suddenly took over the conversation and said:
"Since the flesh-sucking paper man is afraid of fire and the weakness of rotting water in the water tank, does that mean that several other strange talking utensils also have weaknesses?"
"Perhaps. But even if they do have weaknesses, they won't be found in a short period of time. This time it was still Chen Cheng who spoke.
"Whether we can find it or not, at least we should try to find it." When Xiao Mo said this, his gaze crossed the crowd and fell to the village chief and Wang Abacus sitting in the corner:
"No matter what you say, you have to enter the village before Chen Cheng. How do you know more than he does? ”
"Our key focus is on how to escape, and we never thought that there would be any truth about such a strange thing." The village chief smiled awkwardly, then shook his head helplessly.
Wen Qiayun sat beside Xiao Mo, just listening to everyone's discussion and didn't express any opinions, not that she didn't have an opinion, but that she had already heard what Xiao Mo meant.
Xiao Mo didn't seem to want to cooperate with the village chief and others, and the so-called cooperation was just a cover he used to get clues.
In fact, Wen Qiayun didn't guess wrong, Xiao Mo really didn't want to have anything to do with the village chief and others. Because these people seem to him to be a burden in the real sense.
If the village chief and the others survive, then there is only one way for them to escape from the village, and that is to get on a bus with them and leave.
But these people obviously have no ability, and they don't see any specialties, if they really want to join them, they will inevitably be held back, once they fall into danger, will they save or not?
Moreover, they have been very comfortable in the village for the past few days, except for Wang Zi and the unkind monk who are in danger as if they were dead, everyone else has a very dull life.
Therefore, Xiao Mo couldn't help but wonder if the deaths that happened in the village, the strange talking utensils, and all kinds of unusual things were actually just a trap used to deceive them.
If they don't ask, they will not be able to do anything if these things happen, but once they intervene and try to stop them, they will immediately be drawn into this death vortex.
Therefore, Xiao Mo would agree to join forces with the village chief and others, but he was just using their intelligence to prevent future troubles, if they really let them make a effort, they would definitely not agree, just like Chen Cheng said at the beginning.
The faces of the village chief and Wang Abacus under the oil lamp were cloudy, and they didn't know if they had already sensed Xiao Mo's thoughts, and they both gritted their teeth tightly and looked like they had a lot on their minds.
For a while, no one in the room spoke, and the atmosphere unconsciously fell into an embarrassing situation.
However, just as Xiao Mo was about to send everyone away, he suddenly heard a series of footsteps suddenly coming from far and near, and soon formed a huge shadow on the door of the house.
Just when everyone thought it was a few other outsiders, a hoarse call came through the crack in the door and came faintly from outside:
"Old man...... I'm here to pick you up......"
Hearing this call, the village chief's face suddenly changed for the better, and he fell off his chair, because it was the voice of his ghost wife! (To be continued......)
