Chapter 60: The Female Paper Man
The moment of thunder was like daylight, and at that moment, Zhang Zhouyun's side showed a big white face. What scared him was that his hairs stood on end, and he exclaimed: "Oh, my grandma!" "I just threw myself on the dirt on the other side.
Holding his head, he raised his head tremblingly and looked in the direction of the white face, and there was a false alarm, it turned out to be the paper man he pierced. After seeing that it was a paper man, he scolded in his heart: "Fuck, why did you forget this girl!" I almost peed my pants in a scared scare. Then he stood up, looked at the muddy water all over his body, and spat again, "Unlucky!" ”。
When I walked over, I found that the paper figure was standing under the eaves sheltered from the rain, and the paper skin on his body was not wet by the rain at all. Zhang Zhouyun wondered, he usually few people would come, who is so good? I was afraid that the paper figure would be wet by the rain, so I deliberately put it here.
But at this time, his body was sticky and uncomfortable, and he didn't care who put it, so he grabbed the paper figure and put it in front of him, and ran back to the house to block the rain. After entering the house, I washed my face, then changed into a set of clean clothes, lit the oil lamp and went about other tasks.
Late at night, Zhang Zhouyun was sitting on a small stool and weaving a frame with bamboo strips, but he always felt that someone was staring at him, and he looked around a few times, and there was no half a figure in the room except for himself, but then he stayed on the face of the paper man.
The two big red faces that I had drawn for the paper figure looked a little oozing in the candlelight, and the eyes were dry, still clubbing there like dead people. He has been working as a paper man for so many years, and it is the first time that he feels that the paper man is a little chilling.
Zhang Zhouyun couldn't help it, threw down the things in his hand and got up and walked over to turn the paper figure in a half circle, so that its face was facing the wall and its back to him, so that he could feel a little more comfortable. Then he was busy for a few hours, the sleepy eyelids couldn't open, he clicked his mouth a few times, put down the work in his hand and went back to the house to sleep, before blowing the lamp, he looked at the paper man facing the wall like a penalty station, and always felt that the paper man looked weird after coming back today, as for where he really couldn't say, it was a feeling that was wrong, and finally he felt that he might be tired, so he didn't think about it anymore.
The next day, Zhang Zhouyun got up early in the morning and went to the market early to buy some materials for doing white things. Not long after leaving home, Niu Er, who had a good relationship with him, came to him for a drink.
Zhang Zhouyun usually does not lock the door, catch up with the wreaths, paper people, paper horses and other things that are often piled up in the yard when there is a lot of work, the people around him feel unlucky and do not associate with him, few people enter his door, plus there are no valuable objects at home, and he is not worried about losing things, which is also convenient for Niu Er, who often comes to visit the door.
Niu Er is a lazy man, he has never done any serious work, he just goes to his friends to eat and drink all day long, and the boss is not even a home. Zhang Zhouyun is exquisite, and he treats his friends and brothers very interestingly, no matter how much work he has in his hands, as long as his friends enter the door, he must throw down the things at hand and greet them, buy wine and vegetables to entertain him, so Niu Er is okay to come over and rub him for a meal. A while ago, they said that they would come for a drink today, so Niu Er came early in the morning.
When he entered the courtyard gate, he saw that the chimney was coming out of the smoke, so he beckoned a few times into the house, but no one answered. I thought that maybe Zhang Zhouyun was cooking and didn't listen, so I walked directly into the house.
When he entered the door, he saw that it was not Zhang Zhouyun who was cooking, but a woman in a flower dress, who was putting the wooden sticks in the burning stove. Niu Er felt strange, this Zhou Yun was still an old bachelor like himself, and he hadn't seen anyone else when he came a few days ago, why did he suddenly have multiple women cooking now?
Thinking of this Niu Er, I wanted to step forward and ask the woman Zhang Zhouyun if she was in the house, and by the way, I also asked the woman what her relationship was with him. As a result, as soon as she moved her foot, she stepped on a few curved bamboo sticks and made a creaking sound, and it was this sound that the woman who was originally stuffing wooden sticks into the stove stopped her movements and maintained her last posture motionless.
Niu Er stepped forward with a smile, patted the woman's shoulder, and was about to speak, but he didn't expect the woman to suddenly turn her face around, Niu Er saw that the woman who was cooking on the fire was clearly a paper person, with a miserable white paper face with two big red faces, and almost scared Niu Er back at the moment he turned around. Then he escaped from Zhang Zhouyun's house with a "mom" and crawled, and knocked down several people on the street while shouting and running.
Zhang Zhouyun came home before noon, saw the door of the courtyard of the house wide open, and remembered that he had made an appointment with Niu Er a few days ago to come for a drink today, so he thought that Niu Er was already in the house. But when I entered the house, I found that there was no one, and there was stew in the pot. Zhang Zhouyun scolded with a smile: "Niu Er, the grandson, where did the people run away after the vegetables were stewed, okay, I'll wait for you!" ”
I didn't think that it was almost time for dinner, and Niu Er never came. Zhang Zhouyun went to the place where Niu Er frequented, but he didn't find anyone. Until the next morning, someone found Niu Er dead on the street, and the death was extremely terrifying.
Niu Er's back head was opened with a big hole, the brain inside was dug up, only an empty shell remained, his face was white as if it was covered with white ash, and two big red faces were painted on his cheeks, and the corners of his mouth were upturned, it was actually a smile but not a smile, and it was a paper man dressed as a dead man.
Zhang Zhouyun also saw Niu Er's death that day, and was extremely shocked and frightened. The cause of his death was supposed to be a hole in the back of his head, and the strangest thing was the expression with a weird smile.
When he got home, Zhang Zhouyun sat heavily on the chair, looking at the opposite wall in a daze, he really didn't want to believe that Niu Er, who he had just seen a few days ago, was so dead, but when he thought of Niu Er's face after his death, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
That day, I thought it was a pot of dishes cooked by Niu Er, but after Zhang Zhouyun ate it, he realized that the dishes cooked in the pot that day could never be made by Niu Er's big and rough people. Zhang Zhouyun instinctively felt that these things were very strange, who came to his house? And cooked him a pot of food? But the point is that he still eats all the dishes. As soon as he thought of this, his stomach felt uncomfortable, Zhang Zhouyun didn't eat for a whole day, and he was very haggard.
I just sat in the outhouse until it was dark, and suddenly I came back to my senses and found that it was dark all around, and I couldn't help but be a little scared and quickly lit the oil lamp.
The bean-like candle flame swayed with the frequency of Zhang Zhouyun's breathing, shaking the room flickering brightly and darkly. With the swing of the candle flame, the paper man facing the wall in the corner of the wall as if he was being punished is also coming and going in this candlelight, Zhang Zhouyun saw the paper man and remembered the strange smile of Niu Er after his death, which was clearly the expression of the paper man.
Originally, he was scared enough, but when he thought of this Zhou Yun, he panicked so much that he exhaled and almost blew out the faint candle flame, and the room darkened and lit up again, and at that moment, the paper figure that was originally standing by the wall disappeared.
