That's right, the direction to the north is the back mountain, the back mountain is we came down along the small mountain range near the Kunlun Mountain before, so we are very familiar with that direction, and it is rare to see villagers go there, what does the old beard go to that place, nine times out of ten it should be something unseemly, otherwise it would not have waited until so late to leave. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

We cautiously followed behind, and it was strange to say that the old beard looked to be nearly sixty years old, but he walked gently, and even when it was time to go up the hill, he walked as fast as he could, and there was no sign of tiredness, but the three of us could not keep up with him.

We followed all the way, and finally saw the old beard head into an old ancestral hall, I didn't expect that there was still this place in the mountain, I thought it was all woods, but it is not strange that there are any ancestral halls and temples on the mountain. In order not to reveal our identities, we didn't follow up, and hid at the door of the ancestral hall and secretly observed the old beard.

This ancestral hall is not big, you can see the scene inside from the door, there are some candles scattered on both sides, there is a long wooden table in the middle, very similar to the table in the ancient yamen, there is a tomb card on the table, you can't see who is written on it, the whole ancestral hall structure is very simple.

After the old beard walked in, he just sat cross-legged, neither speaking nor making any other movements, which was very puzzling.

"What is he here for? How do you sit all the time? ”

"Shh......h Be quiet, watch first. ”

The sea has a relatively high voice, and I am really afraid that his voice will be heard by the old beard. But the old beard didn't notice it, and still maintained this posture, we can only see his back, I don't know what his expression is like now, it should be his eyes closed or something.

"This is really urgent, first went out to ink, and now he comes and doesn't do anything, people like him shouldn't have a wife, who wants to live with someone like him."

The sea naturally couldn't bear this urgency, and I glared at him again to shut up. Looks like that old beard is enough for us to consume time.

After about half an hour, we yawned for a long time, and finally at this time the old beard moved. We saw him open the box he was carrying, and our eyes widened and we were always curious about what was inside. When he took it out, we found out that it was stacks of paper figures!

Although he made a living by performing shadow puppet shows, and he carried paper figures on his body to talk about the past, but what did he do when he brought the paper figures to this abandoned ancestral hall at night? Could it be that he wants to perform here?

Before it was over, the old beard took out the paper figure and put it on the ground, and then took out a basin-like thing from under the wooden table. It's not like a shadow puppet show. I saw him put the paper figure next to him in the basin, took out a lighter from his pocket and lit the paper figure.

"Look...... See...... He's burning paper people! ”

The sea is a little frightened, because whether it is burning paper or burning paper people, it is not very auspicious in our place, only when there is a funeral at home, these will be burned, and the paper people burned are also the kind of boys and girls, like this kind of little paper man who performs shadow puppetry, I really don't understand the meaning of burning it.

"Could it be that someone died in Lao Hutou's family, and he didn't want to spend money on paper figures, so he replaced it with that gadget?"

As soon as I finished speaking, the old beard was muttering to himself.

"Lao Hu, the children have come to see you. They did their best today, and you can help them grow their spirits. ”

……

"Who is he talking to? It seems that he is also surnamed Hu. ”

"Anyway, it's all shadow puppetry, and it's scary to call those paper people children."

"Yes, after all, it's his beloved thing, and it's normal to be his own child, but since it's a child, how can he burn it easily?"

We whispered outside the door to discuss, the old bearded man got up after burning the paper, and it seemed that he was ready to go back, and we hurried to hide in the nearby woods.

After a while, the old beard really walked out of the ancestral hall, still carrying the box he brought just now, still with the agile pace, we don't plan to keep up, because compared to the old beard, the ancestral hall is more attractive to us. We think we can find valuable information from this.

Seeing the old beard gradually leaving, we dared to walk out and come to the door of the ancestral hall again, ready to go in to find out. This abandoned ancestral hall should not be visited, from the dust on the table and the cobwebs in the corners can be seen, but the only relatively clean is the ground in front of the wooden table, relatively clean, this should be the old beard often comes, as soon as he comes, he sits here so this piece of land is so clean, but he often comes why don't he clean this easily, it's lazy enough.

"Hu ...... Guard...... Righteous ......"

Li Bufan read word by word to the spirit card, and he didn't know what the relationship between this Hu Shouyi and Lao Hu Tou was, but judging from Lao Hu Tou's series of behaviors just now, this person named Hu Shouyi should be deeply respected by Lao Hu Tou, and he must also perform shadow puppet plays, otherwise he would not say anything like helping the paper man improve his spirit.

"It's either a father or a master."

"His name just now is Lao Hu, neither his father nor his master can call him that."

"Oh, it doesn't matter, what about the paper figure that was just burned?"

The sea is true, we see that there is no ash of the paper man in that basin, it is impossible, he cleaned up all the ashes of the paper man in such a short time? Besides, even if the ashes were removed, the pot would be more or less black. I originally wanted to see the ashes of the burned paper man, and I wanted to pick up some useful information from it, but now it's okay, it's cleaner than the crime scene, it's a pity that this old beard doesn't go to be a murderer, except for knowing the name of a person named Hu Shouyi, I didn't understand anything else, it's already dark, and staying here here really makes people feel a little chill down the spine, plus the stomach that has long been out of contention, we didn't stay long, and we went back quickly.

We went back to the hotel and had a casual bite to eat. Maybe it's also because we're meddling, it's someone else's business, and we have to go to the train station early tomorrow morning, how can we have time to investigate any cases in this village. It's rare to get a solid night's sleep tonight, I've been really tired these days, and I quickly fell asleep as soon as I lay in bed.

"Let's have fun...... Let's play......"

What was that! I woke up all of a sudden, and it was two o'clock in the morning, who was talking just now? Did I hear it wrong in my dream?

"Let's play......"

I hadn't even laid down before the strange sound sounded again, although not very clear, but in the silence of the night I did hear the voice of a man in vicissitudes, a little like the old beard, as if it was coming from the window.

I cautiously leaned to the window, because there was a forest behind our room, and it was impossible to live in it, and I didn't open the window directly, the moonlight outside was very bright, and I could see the scenery outside through the window, oh my God, guess what I saw?

I saw a paper man walking around on the ground! (To be continued.) )
