Chapter 68: Paper Man

Dongdong and Jiang Xiaoyan looked at the big willow tree that had become a scorched tree, and Jiang Xiaoyan asked, "Douzi, that tree demon doesn't know about evil spirits, will we be in the wrong place?" ”

Edamame didn't speak, shook his head, frowned and circled around the low stone temple a few times, and suddenly squatted down behind the stone temple, then looked up and said, "Bring the knife!" ”

Dongdong looked around, picked up the mountain opening knife, ran to the back of the small temple, and asked, "What's wrong?" What did you find? ”

Edamame squatted on the ground, pointed to the wall behind the small temple and said, "Look here, the soil color of this piece is darker than the surrounding ones. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Dongdong looked around, and sure enough, under the root of the back wall of the small temple, there was a small area that was darker than the surrounding soil, but he scratched his head and asked, "What's the matter?" Maybe someone spilled urine here. ”

Edamame rolled his eyes and said, "The old man said that no one has come up to this mountain for decades, and besides, with such a big mountain, it is not good where to scatter, but he has to run to this place where people are buried!" It's obviously been turned over recently, dig it! Maybe there's a clue. ”

"Oh......" Dongdong honestly handed the mountain knife in his hand to Edamame, "Then dig it." ”

Edamame raised his eyebrows, stood up and said, "I was subduing demons and burning trees just now, are you embarrassed to let me do it again?" ”

"I'll go!" Dongdong's eyes widened, and he said, "If you don't mention it, forget it, I haven't settled accounts with you yet!" Shouldn't you give me a perfect explanation for what just happened? ”

"What's the explanation?" Edamame glanced at him obliquely: "I just said very clearly, I said rush and rush together, but I just counted to three and you jumped out, I don't blame you for disrupting my plan!" Are you too embarrassed to blame me now? ”

"Really?" Dongdong blinked his eyes and thought about it for a long time, "But I remember what you said was counting to three and rushing, did I hear it wrong?" ”

"Of course you misheard." Edamame said seriously, "I don't believe you asked Xiaoyan!" ”

"Huh?" Jiang Xiaoyan paused for a moment, looked at Dongdong, who was a little confused, and then looked at the edamame with a sure face, and said with some uncertainty: "I can't remember it either, it seems to be ...... I think it's like the beans say......"

Edamame held back a smile, patted Dongdong with a confused face, pointed to the ground and said, "Hear it, I didn't wronged you, dig it up!" I'll go and rest first, and call me when I find it! ”

"Oh......" Dongdong had to make a bitter face, picked up the mountain opening knife, bent down and slashed towards the back wall of the small temple.

But before he could make a few clicks, the phone rang suddenly.

"Huh? Got a signal? Whose phone is it? Dongdong turned his head to look at the two people next to him, and then realized that the phone in his trouser pocket was ringing, and he took out the phone with some surprise.

The caller ID had the word "Dad" written on it, and he suddenly shuddered and said urgently: "Beans!" Oops! My dad Chagang is here! ”

The edamame's butt hadn't even sat down yet, so when he heard it, he quickly got up again, ran over and snatched Dongdong's phone, and pouted on the ground.

"Don't worry, look for me, you keep digging!"

"What? Looking for yours? Dongdong was stunned for a moment, and before he could speak, he saw Edamame connect the phone and put it to his ear.

"Brother Zhang, hey, it's me, you wait first......"

After Edamame said a word, he turned around and left, until he was twenty or thirty meters away from them, he stopped, Dongdong didn't dare to follow, he could only look at Edamame with a nervous face, watching him hold the phone and nod slightly, two or three minutes later, he said something on the phone, and then walked back directly.

Dongdong took the phone, looked down and saw that the phone had hung up, and he looked up again to stare at the expression on Edamame's face, but he didn't see anything after looking at it for a long time, so he had to ask a little worriedly.

"What did my dad tell you?"

"Said that when you go back, I will hang you up and beat you! If you want me to intercede for you, dig now! Edamame seemed to be in a bad mood, and he choked back with a glare in his eyes.

Dongdong had to mumble a few words in his mouth, raised the mountain knife in his hand and continued to plan, and after about ten minutes, he suddenly raised his head and shouted to the edamame next to him, who was obviously a little distracted: "Hey! Bean! Looks like something was dug up! Check it out! ”

Edamame came back to his senses and looked closer into the pit, only to see that at this time, the pit under the root of the back wall of the small temple had been dug more than 50 centimeters deep, and in addition to stones and grass roots, some pale yellow things could be faintly seen in the black soil.

Edamame twisted it out and looked closely, revealing that they were all pieces of yellow paper, which clearly had traces of incineration, and the rest were the remains the size of fingernails.

He reached out and dug out all the scraps of paper at the bottom of the pit, and then frowned and gestured on the ground for a long time.

Dongdong stared dryly on the side, looking puzzled as Edamame picked up the pieces of paper one by one, kept changing directions, and then put them on the ground again, and after a while, those fingernail-sized pieces were slowly spliced together by him, although there were still many missing, but Dongdong looked at the gradually clear outline, or the corners of his eyes jumped, and he exclaimed in surprise.

"This ...... It's a paper man! ”

Edamame looked up at him and nodded, the yellow paper figure on the ground was about the size of a palm, and the paper was ordinary yellow paper, that is, the kind of eye-punching paper money commonly used when going to the grave, which was cut into the shape of a paper man.

I flipped the shredded paper on the ground with my fingers, and I could faintly see blood stains on some of the fragments, which were twisted and twisted, as if some words had been written on them with blood.

But because the paper figure is just a piece of paper figurinated pieces, and it certainly didn't belong to the same paper figure before, it is impossible to tell what is written on it.

Edamame reached out and pulled a few more times in the dirt pit, twisted a handful of soil, spread it in the palm of his hand and looked carefully, there were a few small black spheres in the soil, and when he smelled it, a pungent smell of burning immediately penetrated his nose.

He nodded slightly, as if he had finally confirmed something, but with a solemn expression, he let out a long sigh and slowly stood up and patted the dirt on his hands.

"What the hell are these things?" Dongdong waited on the side for a long time, but Edamame didn't speak, so he had to take the initiative to ask.

"If my guess is correct......" Edamame glanced at him and said slowly, "Those victims from before...... It was killed by these paper figures. ”

"What?" Dongdong looked shocked, looked down at the scraps of paper on the ground, hurriedly took two steps back, and stammered, "This ...... Can these paper figures still kill? Could it be that the evil spirit...... Is it these paper figurines that have become? ”

Edamame shook his head and replied, "Paper people are just dead things, of course they can't harm people, but if you don't have these paper people...... No matter how high the evil spirit is, there is no way to kill people. ”

After speaking, he sighed again, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Jiang Xiaoyan, who was standing silently behind Dongdong, and said in a low voice.

Xiaoyan...... Are you right? ”
