Uncle Ah Liang rode a motorbike and drove Lu Ji and me to Donggou Township and arrived in the evening. But there was not a single car on the side of the road, so Ah Liang asked me: "It's almost dark, and it's almost the Chinese New Year, how can you return to the city?" β
Midori hurriedly said: "The car from the hospital will arrive soon, I'm sorry for you." β
I also thanked Uncle Aryan, a taxi came from a distance, stopped beside us, Midori opened the door, sat in, I hurriedly said goodbye to my cousin, and also got into the car.
The driver was expressionless, and after seeing that I was seated, he stepped on the accelerator and drove quickly in the direction of Luoyang City.
When Uncle Ah Liang saw us leaving, he also turned his motorcycle and headed home.
When we arrived outside Anle Town, it was already dark and the sound of firecrackers could be heard nearby.
The taxi stopped outside a large wall, and when I got out of the car, I saw a large chimney sticking out of the wall, peering into the night sky, which was the Anle Crematorium, seven kilometers outside the town of Anle.
There was no one else here but us, and this place made me feel a little uncomfortable, and Lu Ji also got out of the car and said to me, "You go find Lao Li's paper shop." β
I answered, and searched along the walls of the crematorium, until I was half a mile away, and found a lonely house. The house is an old-style tiled house, not large, with two white words "wreath" written on the dark wooden door, but the door is locked.
Lu Ji followed me and asked, "Do you know where Lao Li's family is?" β
I shook my head, I knew Mr. Li's son, but I had never been to his house, and Lu Ji said to me, "The matter is urgent, we can only take extraordinary measures." β
Green Ji came to the door of the paper shop, stretched out her slender jade hand, and wiped it on the three-ring lock, and the lock spring flicked open.
I was surprised, and she said to me, "You hurry up and go in and pick a paper figure, the kind you want his son to make, the more delicate the better, and a female paper figure!" β
Facing the dark wooden door, I was a little scared, a gust of wind blew, and the wooden door squeaked, "What are you still stunned about, don't you want to save your third aunt?" β
I had no choice but to take out my flashlight and turn it on, push open the wooden door, and enter the house.
The room was full of paper bundles of all kinds of colors, which looked particularly oozing under the light of the flashlight.
In the midst of these papers, I removed the bright mountains of gold and silver, and saw a papier-mΓ’chΓ© building standing on the ground, but I felt that a pair of eyes were staring at me in the dark.
Maybe it's a thief, I'm already sweating, my legs are trembling, a paper horse blocked my vision, I put the flashlight in my mouth, free my hands to remove the paper horse, a female paper figure dressed in Tang costume appeared in front of me, lifelike, scared me.
This paper figure is so exquisitely made that even the buckles on the clothes are clearly visible, and there is a male paper figure next to it, staring at me with resentful eyes.
My heart was beating rapidly, but Midorihime was urging outside the door: "Have you found it, hurry up!" β
Help, I picked up the female paper man, immediately turned around and rushed out of the room, vaguely, I seemed to hear the woman's cry, and the man's scolding, to the door, suddenly jumped down from the roof of a black shadow, "meow" a leg to escape, I sat at the door in fright.
"Damn cat!" Midorihime scolded indignantly, and then urged me: "Quick, it seems that someone is coming!" β
I got up from the ground and continued to hold the paper woman, Midorihime locked the door and led the way, and when I returned to the taxi, I saw a man with a cigarette in his mouth and asked the driver.
Midorihime hurriedly said, "This is the car we ordered!" She motioned for me to put the paper figure in the back seat, and she immediately opened the front door of the taxi herself and sat in the passenger seat.
I also got into the car, and the driver drove immediately, and I saw the man staring at us with suspicious eyes outside the window.
There was a paper figure beside me, and I felt very uncomfortable, so Midorihime turned her head and asked me, "You should know the address of your third aunt's house, right?" β
I nodded in agreement and replied, "Of course I remember, it's next door to the east of the dairy farm outside Anle Town." β
The taxi quickly drove towards this address, and I immediately understood that Midorihime was going to use this female paper figure to save my third aunt's life, and I hoped it would be in time.
On the dark highway, a black shadow handbag chain is also slowly moving in this direction.
The third aunt's house is close to the cattle farm, and the gate is closed at the moment, and there are laughter and laughter inside, ready to celebrate the New Year.
The taxi stopped at the door of the third aunt's house, and Midori said to me: "Bring your things, the paper man stays, you have to stay an inch away from your third aunt, I managed to deceive the ghost." The Dream Fairy Pillow will be left in the car first, and it is inconvenient for you to take it with you now. β
I said yes, got out of the car with my tote bag, took a deep breath, and started calling the door.
The taxi went away, the door opened, and my cousin poked his head out of it, and when he saw that it was me, he couldn't help but ask: "Cousin, why are you here at this time?" β
I answered and asked, "Is my third aunt at home?" β
Cousin Guo Zhen responded: "What about at home?" Cousin, come in quickly, you haven't had dinner yet, have you? β
When I entered the third aunt's house and came to the hall, the third aunt's family was all there, and they were watching TV while eating melon seeds.
Putting down the handbag, I sat on the sofa, and the third aunt asked my cousin Guo Wei to cook for me, and then asked me, "Are you from the hospital here?" β
I had already thought of an excuse, so I nodded and explained: "The hospital does not have a holiday for the New Year, but I will rest tomorrow, so I will come to your house first and find a way to go home tomorrow." β
The third aunt brought a plate of fried peanuts and said politely: "You guys are really hard to be doctors, and you won't have a holiday for the New Year!" β
I echoed the voice, drinking rice porridge and nibbling on steamed buns, while guessing how the ghost would take my third aunt's life? How do I fight it?
After eating, my cousin cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and I asked my third aunt, "How is your body doing?" Is your blood sugar stable? β
The third aunt responded and said, "The doctor has prescribed a recipe for me, as long as I follow the diet on his recipe, my blood sugar will not rebound, I feel much better recently, is your work in the hospital still going well?" β
We were chatting casually in the living room, when there was a knock from outside the door, and the third aunt asked, "It's so late, and someone is knocking on the door?" β
The third aunt responded: "It may be that the town cadres came to ask me to drink!" β
"It's so late, don't go, it's not safe!" The third aunt advised.
My cousin went to open the door, and I looked in the direction of the door.
Soon the cousin returned, complaining, "Who is teasing people at this time?" I knocked on the door, but I didn't see anyone! β
I became vigilant, and the third aunt said, "Don't care, Xiaohua, you sleep with Guo Zhen, wash your feet first, the hot water is already boiling!" β
After washing my feet and going to bed, I took out these medical books from my handbag and looked through them, mainly reading acupuncture books, and checked my needle bag again, and said: "Even if the third aunt is sick, I can rescue it in time!" β
A cat meow came from the roof, and I asked my cousin, "Do you still have a cat at home?" β
The cousin explained: "It's the old black cat next door, and he always likes to come to my house to find food!" β
I tried to stay awake and not fall asleep, but my cousin said, "It's not early, let's go to sleep quickly, I can't sleep with the light on!" β
