The fire flickered, and almost instantly, a fire broke out on the doll.

Part of the body is made of clay and is not easily burned.

But the doll was like papier-mâché, and as soon as the flame of the lighter was lifted, the flames rolled up at once, covering the doll's whole body.

Zhang Ting put the lighter in her pocket and retreated to my side.

I looked at her, and her expression was very calm, her hands were naturally in front of her, and she was still holding the string of paper money.

The doll in the basin suddenly moved.

His limbs were constantly writhing, and he had a hideous expression on his face.

I took a step back, and even felt that the picture on the tombstone had become eerie.

The doll was moving, but it looked like it had been nailed into a basin by some force. His mouth opened and closed, but no sound came out.

Within a few minutes, the doll burned to black ashes.

Seeing the doll disappear, the boulder in my heart finally fell, and the whole person was a lot more relaxed.

Zhang Ting walked over again, burned the paper money, and whispered a few words to Xiao Lin before standing up.

I felt guilty for doubting her just now.

So I went up and apologized to her, and she glared at me, "Now you don't suspect that I hurt you?" ”

I'm red-faced, and I'm not feeling good.

That's what I should have done.

Finally, I took the copper basin and made sure that there was no flame left, and then we went back to Granny Yang's house.

Granny Yang took the copper basin and poured the ashes into the clay pot in front of the house.

There is a row of such jars on the shady side of the house.

At first, I thought it was Granny Yang's pickled kimchi.

The handprints on my arm faded a little, and I asked Granny Yang that it was caused by the doll's yin qi, which would naturally dissipate after a while, and asked me to bask in the sun more during this time.

One of my hearts finally settled in my stomach.

Now that there is no car, Zhang Ting and I went back to the security room to borrow a stool, and waited until the morning to return to the county seat.

I had to say dry along the way, so Zhang Ting reluctantly forgave me and added my WeChat.

I put down the big stone in my heart and offered to invite her to dinner, Zhang Ting also agreed, and smiled at me.

I can't be so beautiful in my heart, fantasizing about the future of me and Zhang Ting.

I went home and slept soundly, when my phone rang.

I pressed it to my ear, but I heard a scream on the other end of the phone.

"It's not Kobayashi, it's not Kobayashi, he's not Kobayashi ......"

Probably in a deep sleep, my whole mind was foggy.

Although listening to the voice on the phone, his consciousness was not awake, and his eyelids were as if they were coated with glue.

The phone was still in my ears, and I just fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took to wake up slowly.

Was it just a dream?

But the phone also showed a call with Ms. Zhang.

I carefully recalled Ms. Zhang's words just now and dialed her back.

But this time there was no one to pick up.

I woke up hungry and ordered two packets of instant noodles.

After eating, my mom came back.

"Alas, the family courtyard over there was on fire, and I heard that people were burned to death. We all saw smoke on this side of the road. "My mom told me.

Isn't the family home of the old factory the one where Ms. Zhang lives?

I chuckled and hurriedly pulled out my phone.

Although my mother didn't know who was burned to death, I always felt that it was too much of a coincidence.

opened the local hot search, and many people have already posted videos.

On the building where Ms. Zhang lived, smoke billowed from the fourth floor.

I hurriedly jumped up, changed my shoes and ran out.

When I came to the family home, there were many people gathered on the periphery.

The fire brigade has already driven over, but the old community has a narrow lane, which is not easy.

I couldn't squeeze in, and I didn't know what had happened.

When I called Zhang Ting, no one answered.

At this time, several rescued people in the community were sitting aside.

I rushed over and asked them if it was Ms. Zhang's family.

As soon as I signed up, a few nodded.

"It's her house."

I grabbed my phone and looked blankly at the family building.

Could it be the doll's revenge, will Zhang Ting be at home?

The scene was so chaotic that no one knew who was in Ms. Zhang's house.

I went to the hospital again, and Ms. Zhang's husband was taken care of by a nurse who had been hired, and I didn't know where the others had gone.

It wasn't until the evening that I went to work at the doll shop.

Lao Du stood on a stool and hammered a nail above the iron gate at the gate.

"Coming? Hand it to me. He told me.

There was a swarthy thing lying on the ground.

When I picked it up, I saw that it was an old gossip mirror.

The mirror was heavy, and I didn't know what it was made of, and there was a layer of black dirt on the outside. The mirror surface is also dirty.

I handed the mirror over, and Lao Du hung it on the nail.

"Old objects, he gave them to a friend's house today, saying that they can be used to dispel evil in the town and attract wealth."

Lao Du fiddled with the gossip mirror, and then jumped down and told me to take things in.

As soon as he left, the doll shop was completely silent.

I was sitting in the duty room and swiping my mobile phone, and there was the latest news from the family home, saying that one person was burned to death, but who exactly it was has not yet been determined.

My heart was in a mess, and I was terrified.

But two days passed, and nothing happened.

I went to the family home again to inquire about the news, only to say that it was a woman who burned to death in the house.

Ms. Zhang's family never returned, and the neighborhood did not know who the dead person was.

Zhang Ting was also not contacted.

If it's really a doll's revenge, there won't be no movement at all.

The fire may have been a coincidence. I only hope that it is not Zhang Ting who has an accident.

That morning, Lao Du stopped me, said that I had done a good job, passed the probationary period, and asked me if I should consider working in the store for a long time.

said that he could raise his salary, and he could also learn to make dolls with him.

The only thing that was harsh was that I had to do it for two years.

I hesitated and agreed.

Such a high salary is really rare in the county. It's hard to find even in the city.

Recently, my family is discussing buying a house in the county seat for me. Otherwise, with my academic qualifications, my relatives will not introduce me to anyone.

I think since the doll was burned, this incident is also a coincidence, and I can't be unlucky all the time, right?

Seeing that I agreed, Lao Du took out a notebook from the drawer of the workbench.

The yellowed leather surface and even the pages are made of leather.

It says simple working conditions.

He took out a pen and asked me to sign it.

Then I saw that there were three more names in the signature box.

The handwriting is different, and it should have been written by three people.

"It's a former employee." Lao Du said, tapped the notebook with a pen, "Okay, if you work for less than two years, you will be compensated." ”

I didn't think much of it and signed my name after those three names.

"All three of them are full?" After signing, I saw Lao Du close the notebook, so I asked casually.

He didn't write any specific breach of contract measures, and even if I resigned in the future, he couldn't do anything.

"Those three people, they didn't do it, I hope you can persevere. Congratulations to Ji Li, becoming a regular employee of the doll shop. ”

Lao Du smiled at me, and his smile was indescribably weird.
