A gust of wind blew in through the door, blowing away the dead silence of the house. The paper house was blown with a whirring sound. The men and beasts inside and outside the paper house were also blown around, as if the gust of wind had infused them with souls. Bring them to life.

The old man seemed to feel a chill in the wind, and couldn't help but shrink his neck.

There was also wind when he was in the blind man's pass just now, but I didn't see him cowering at all.

Daddy asked, "You didn't live here before, did you?" ”

The old man said, "I used to live in Junshan ......"

Daddy was so dizzy that he almost fell.

The old man hugged his grandfather in surprise and asked, "What's wrong?" Are you feeling unwell? ”

The old man said: "I was not in Junshan earlier, and after giving birth to three daughters, my old father said that the feng shui in my house may not be very good, and I need to change places. It was also at that time that your father escorted grain and grass. Passing by my house, I saw that we were almost starving to death. There were many mouths to eat at home, so he asked the soldiers to give us some rations. ”

"You guys moved to Junshan later?" Daddy reluctantly stopped.

"yes. But the fourth child was born, and it was still a daughter. And I made that mistake again......"

Grandpa finally understood that Xie Xiaomi's reincarnation was not easy. After she left that poem, her soul ran leisurely to Junshan, and perhaps happened to meet the old man and his wife who moved to Junshan, so they were reincarnated in his house. She probably thought it was going well, but she didn't expect it to end like this.

What touched my father even more was that Xiaomi experienced this setback and still stayed in Junshan.

"And how did you get here?" Daddy asked.

The old man said: "After my wife and daughter leave me, I can no longer bear to see everything there, see things and think about people." So I left Junshan and came here. Since I came here, I have had very little contact with people. ”

Daddy asked, "You don't have much contact with people. But you should have heard that I often come here, often go to Feng Junjia's house, right? Do you know his daughter? ”

The old man nodded and said, "I heard." You're coming to see their kid named Xiaomi, right? I heard that his family was not going well, first he was pregnant with one and lost the other, and then finally gave birth to a daughter, but he was always disturbed by those unclean things. Hey, look at me the other way around, it's my own sin! He saw that the eaves of one of the spiritual houses were bent down by the dust, and he stretched out his hand to flick the eaves made of bamboo strips. Boom", dust flew everywhere, choking himself and coughing.

The eaves were straightened.

Grandpa noticed the change in the old man's expression, and he didn't know if he had just gone to play the dust to cover up or if he really wanted to restore the eaves to their original state. This old man has seen Xiaomi's spirit, and it seems that he likes her quite a lot. Didn't he know that Xiaomi was the soul of Feng Junjia's daughter?

But it's understandable that he doesn't know. After all, Xiaomi's spirit is older than Xiaomi's actual age, maybe he doesn't know that people are big ghosts.

But it's understandable that he knows and doesn't say it. If he says it, then the matter of his going to the blind man's pass will be exposed. He certainly didn't want anyone else to know about it. Otherwise, they wouldn't have sneaked there.

"So you know. The child's soul was not strong. Very easy to get around. His family often called me to come and look for him. ”

"Are you here to find her? I haven't seen it. The old man thought that this was the purpose of his father's visit to his house this time, so he quickly denied it.

"Have you seen her anywhere else?" Grandpa asked, following his words.

"This ......"

"You've seen it?"

The old man hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, how could I have seen it?" Although the names of my four daughters are the same, there are more people with the same names. I wouldn't treat her as my fourth daughter. ”

Grandpa said to him in his heart, she is the fourth girl you don't know how to cherish.

But Grandpa couldn't tell the truth. Neither of them knew each other, and it was the best for both of them.

"Really? But I've heard that you've been carrying something delicious to the Blind Drop in the middle of the night? Daddy coldly shifted the conversation to what happened tonight.

The old man was caught off guard by this, his face showed a panicked look, and he stammered, "You, you, you." Who do you listen to? ”

Grandpa pointed to the scattered spiritual houses and said, "They." ”

"It'...... They? The old man turned his head to look at the silent houses. Dumbfounded.

"yes. Since you know me, you know that I will deal with them. You don't tell me, they will tell me. It is often said that you have to be unaware of what you do, but it's really hard to do that. You can hide it from me, you can hide it from others, but you can't hide it from them. They can stare at you from all corners and places. Grandpa said mysteriously. The more you talk about the back, the lower the voice.

The old man couldn't help but look to the left and to the right, as if there were other people in the room besides the two of them. Although he didn't see anything, he believed his father's words. He said honestly: "I saw that they were pitiful, and I thought of my poor four daughters, so I quietly brought things for them to enjoy." The people in the village thought that they were always playing tricks on the village children and didn't want to see them, so I didn't dare to say it. Please also Ma Xiucai, don't be surprised. ”

Grandpa said: "Over the years, I have experienced too many such things, and I am no longer surprised." I know you're an outsider, and if someone finds out you're secretly going to the Blind Cave to deliver something to the Devil, you'll be expelled. But I think you still have something to hide, so why don't you talk about it together? "Grandpa saw that he was mingling with those little ghosts, and he must have been in contact for more than a day or two, maybe there were other things that had not been revealed.

The old man said gratefully, "Thank you for your understanding. In addition to delivering food and food to them, there is one more thing I might want to tell you. In the new spirit house you see in front of you, some of the paper figures are cut by millet. ”

Daddy shuddered again.

"You know, although these little ghosts are dead, they are still childlike and still playful. This millet is a bit special, and she also likes to play with paper-cutting people. She knew that I was making a spirit house, and she came to see me, saying that my spirit house was doing well, but the workmanship of the paper people was not as good as hers. I don't believe it yet. She asked me for scissors and colored paper, and cut some paper figures for me. ”

"How's it going?" Daddy asked impatiently.

The old man smiled and said, "She's too impatient. In fact, she cut it well at the beginning, and you can see her dexterity, but at the end, she often can't bear it, and she cuts it randomly. As a result, most of the paper people cut out cannot be used. ”

Grandpa imagined Xiaomi's impatience. He knows that Xiaomi's spirit does not have the balance of the soul, and most of the characters are on the bad side, jealousy, anxiety, resentment, etc., only with the cooperation of the soul, will there be a careful and stable side. Therefore, although Xiaomi was able to cut the paper figure very delicately during his lifetime, the Xiaomi that the old man met could not do it.

"Later, on one occasion, she made a rare cut of a paper figure that cut well from beginning to end."

"Oh? You...... Where did you put it? Grandpa chuckled in his heart.

"You want?" The old man asked.

"Oh no, I'll take a look."

The old man scratched the back of his head, thought for a moment, and said, "Where did you put it?" ”

Seeing that he didn't remember much, Grandpa asked, "Is it used in the spirit house?" ”

The old man's eyes lit up, he shook his hand, and said, "Yes, yes, I saw that she cut it well, so she used it as a material in the spirit house!" How do you know? ”

"Oh, I guessed casually, seeing so many paper figurines here, I thought you should be able to use them."

The old man looked at the spirit house from left to right, and then from right to left, and frowned: "I used it, but I don't remember where I used it." ”

Daddy pointed to the place where the paper figure had disappeared and asked, "Are you using it in this place?" ”

The old man's mouth opened and he said in surprise: "Oh...... yes, I left it here with a broom in my hand. Hey? How did you know I was here? ”

Without waiting for Grandpa to respond, the old man looked in front of the spirit house and said, "What's the matter?" I obviously put it in this position, why is it gone? Can't you run away? ”

Grandpa answered: "Maybe I really ran away." ”

The old man squinted at his grandfather, thinking he was joking.

Grandpa remembered the scene when the paper man cut by millet ran to his window many years ago, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. It seems that the paper figure just now did run away. The paper man cut by Xiaomi can run, and the paper man cut by millet should also be able to. The paper man is driven by Xiaomi's unconscious, so Xiaomi's spirit can also drive the paper man. And courage is often superior, because if a person is often hesitant and indecisive, others will say that he has "no courage".

The old man picked up the spirit house, but still did not find the paper man. There were a few turtles sleeping underneath, and as soon as they were alarmed, they immediately crawled into the cracks in the corners.

Grandpa said, "Can I ask you to do something for me?" ”

The old man gave up looking, put down the spirit house, and said, "As long as I can do it, then there is no problem." I owe your family a big favor. ”

Daddy said, "I want to ask you to help me call Millet to a place." ”

The old man was stunned for a long time, and then asked, "And then?" ”

"And then there's nothing about you."

"What are you going to do with her? Are you going to get her back, or ......?" asked the old man. He knew that it wouldn't end well if it fell into human hands.

"Let her have her rightful belonging." Grandpa thought about it and felt that it was most appropriate to answer the old man like this.

The old man was silent.

Daddy persuaded: "I know you feel sorry for your daughters, so transfer the unfinished love to those little ghosts." Ghosts, return. They must have an eventual destination. Have you ever thought that the blind man's col is not their destination, just as water is not the destination of water ghosts, and the beams of the house are not the destination of hanged ghosts. ”

"And where do they end?"

Daddy took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and said, "What is their destination...... Vanish. ”
