Chapter 221: Shadow Puppetry
Chinese The widow of the king refers to a paper man, but it is not a paper man at all, but a dead man dressed as a paper man.
He wore a melon-skin hat and a black riding robe, his face and lips were painted blood-red, and his eyes were wide open and round.
After a closer look, I realized that it was not his eyes that were round, but that needles had been threaded between his eyelids and his lower eyelids, exposing the entire eyeball.
Probably aware of our presence, he walked towards us step by step, and finally stopped under the big poplar tree at the entrance of the village.
At this point, the distance between us is no more than twenty meters. He looked at us for a while, and he stiffly raised his hand and waved at us, as if to let us into the village.
"What is he doing?" I asked.
"Tell us to come into the village!" The widow squinted her eyes and replied, and at the same time started the car, slowly drove forward, and finally stopped in front of the paper figure.
I stared at the paper figure for a while, and found that something was wrong, dead people can't move unless someone controls it, but no matter how you control it, if you want a dead person to move, you have to stuff a ghost into it.
There is no ghost in this paper man's body, and the three fires on his body are extinguished.
"Bump into it!" I thought about it and said.
"Okay!" Widow Wang responded excitedly, without thinking about it, and stepped on the accelerator. With a bang, the paper figure was knocked into the air, but it gave people a light and fluttering feeling.
"That's not right!" Widow Wang felt the same way as me, and immediately drove the car over and stopped beside the paper man.
After getting out of the car, we squatted down to check it out, and we both saw the shock in each other's eyes, this person was hollowed out!
The muscles, internal organs, and blood of his body were all gone, and all that was left was a skeleton wrapped in skin.
"The knife work is so good!" Zhao Liang was stunned and squeezed out four words. He was right, the knife work was really good, whether it was Bai Sensen's skeleton or the frozen skin, there was not a single piece of meat left on it, and his whole person was hollowed out.
As for mobility, it's also very simple, we find that he has several silk threads on his body, which pull his hands and feet, respectively, which reminds me of shadow puppetry, where this person is made into a large paper-cut figure.
I glanced back at the immortal family hanging from the poplar tree and said softly
"Let's go back and see!" Exactly as I expected, the fairy house hanging from the tree is the same as the paper figure, it is an empty shelf, and the inside has been hollowed out!
"Why?" The four of us spoke up at the same time, and no one could have guessed what it would mean.
"Lao Jiang, we're here!" Widow Wang thought for a moment, then took out her mobile phone and made a call.
"Let's go, the village chief is waiting for us!" Putting down the phone, Widow Wang got into the car and pulled us towards the village.
I glanced back, and my heart was suddenly shocked, when I came, I clearly saw that the thirty-odd immortal families were facing the direction outside the village.
But then, they all turned their heads to face us.
"What the hell do you want to do?" I rubbed my chin, still a little confused about what he meant.
A village of nearly 400 people is not small, and Widow Wang drove around the village twice before finally stopping in front of a compound.
There is a dim lamp at the entrance of the courtyard, illuminating the square inch of the door, occasionally the wind blows, and the light shakes with the light, bringing up light and shadow.
The door was unlocked, and the widow pushed it in, and we followed her and walked inside. The lights in the house were not turned off, and we could see people walking back and forth inside, and when we entered the house, we saw a middle-aged man with messy hair and blue eyes.
"Xiao Wang, you're here!" When he saw the widow Wang, his eyes were red and he almost cried. Obviously, this is the village chief, when he was in the car, Widow Wang introduced him, his name is Jiang Chunguang, he is older than us, not from this village.
Since that incident ten years ago, the village chief of Kidnapping Village has been sent by expatriates, and so has this one!
"It's okay, you can't die if I don't come, look at your complexion, at least you can live for a month!" Widow Wang looked at Lao Jiang and said coldly.
That's right, although the yang fire on this old Jiang is very weak, but the three fires are there, and it is no problem to live for a month.
"Auntie, don't be funny!" Lao Jiang's tears really fell, and he said with a crying voice
"Lao Tzu has been in the village for eight lifetimes, this village chief, I don't want to be at all, this year, I have been in the village for less than a month, how could I have thought that this time I entered the village, I encountered this kind of unfortunate thing!"
"Tell me more about what's going on!" Widow Wang sat down and squinted at Jiang Chunguang.
"Or unlucky?" Lao Jiang began to complain again, saying that although he was the village head, no one asked him about the big and small things in the village, and he didn't want to take care of it, and he couldn't manage it.
The reason is very simple, the villagers are still buying a daughter-in-law, he took care of it once, and he was almost beaten to death, but he didn't know who did it!
"You're not going to report it?" The widow asked.
"How dare I?" Lao Jiang jumped to his feet anxiously, saying that the reputation of the kidnapping village was outside, no girl was willing to marry, and the villagers could only rely on it, and some villagers warned him that if he dared to report, he would be against the whole village, and he would never be spared.
"Xiao Wang, don't you know, the villagers of this village are all of one heart, if you offend one, you will offend the whole village, in this village, although I am the village chief, what I say is not as effective as a dog!" Lao Jiang walked back and forth on the ground, fell into a state of madness, and said
"You said I was kicked in the head by a donkey, they said I was invited to a wedding drink, I know how the bride came from, why the should I attend?"
"What happened at the wedding reception?" The widow asked in a deep voice.
"The bride is one, but the groom is three!" Lao Jiang said with a sad face.
"What did you say?" I couldn't hold back this time and exclaimed.
"The groom is three!" Old Jiang shuddered, repeated again, and said
"Lao Zhao's family has three sons, and the family is poor, so they can only afford one woman, so they simply let one woman serve three husbands!"
"Brute!" Zhao Liang gritted his teeth and scolded, looking at Lao Jiang's gaze with a sense of danger.
"Don't look at me, that's what the old Zhao family did, what does it have to do with me, you think I want to come to drink wine, they threatened me and said, if I don't come, I'll find someone to get me, I have a family and a business, and they can't afford it!" Lao Jiang said with a sad face.
As the saying goes, barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes, this is how the people of Kidnapper Village dealt with Lao Jiang, and the reason for bringing Lao Jiang to the wedding was very simple, let him vote.
Every time he attended a wedding, Lao Jiang was equivalent to committing a crime of cover-up, and in the end, he couldn't wash it if he wanted to.
"It's really high!" I have to admire the villagers of Abduction Village for being able to come up with this method.
"And then?" The widow continued to ask.
"It was ridiculous that day, the bride didn't even want to marry one, how could she be willing to marry three, and it turned out to be tragic, she died headlong!" Lao Jiang recalled the scene of that day, and he was afraid for a while.
"And then start dying people?" I asked.
"I didn't die at first, the people of the Zhao family didn't care when they saw the bride they bought dead, they rolled a straw mat on the bride casually, dug a pit and buried it, and began to die three days later!" Lao Jiang thought about it, and his face changed again,
"But it's not right to die, the three brothers of the Zhao family didn't die, but they died one after another in the cave room!"
"By the way, not long after the boss of the Zhao family was released, he was sentenced to ten years before!" As he spoke, Lao Jiang suddenly clapped his hands,
"This time he made the most trouble, he came up with many ideas that day, I guess it was probably in prison for too long!"
"Are the three brothers still alive?" I asked.
"Alive!" Lao Jiang said with a puzzled face
"It stands to reason that the most damned is the boss of the Zhao family, but he is not only alive, but he is also alive and well, and he hasn't even hurt a single hair!" Widow Wang and I looked at each other, and this was the first time I had encountered such a situation.
It is said that if you kill one of the blacks and two of you, it is impossible to be unable to get a boss of the Zhao family!
"Knock knock!" Suddenly there was a quick knock on the door outside, and a quick cry also sounded at this time,
"Village chief, something happened again!" When I heard the knock on the door, my heart tightened, I was the last one to come in just now, and if I remember correctly, I didn't lock the door!
