Chapter 7 A Glimmer of Life
It's a paper figure with the finishing touch.
As the saying goes, paper people don't put their eyes on it, and paper horses don't raise their mane.
Paper people and paper horses are dead things, but once they have their eyes, they can come back to life.
Of course, the life here is not life in the real sense, but refers to being given to the body by ghosts.
Ordinary people are ghosted, either because of low luck or weak yang, and the eye-catching paper figure just fits these two points.
Thinking so, I frowned and tugged at the woman's collar.
She wanted to shout, but I covered her mouth and threatened: "If you dare to scream, I will kill you!" ”
Xu was calmed by my fierce expression, and the woman's body trembled, quiet as a chicken.
"I ask you, do you want to get out of here?" I asked straight to the point.
The woman hesitated, she didn't answer immediately, and I added.
"I can help you leave, and even send you to reincarnation."
"But you have to fetch something for me first!"
"What's up?" The woman spoke.
When she said this, I was stunned.
This is a rough man's voice, with a big smell of ballast, and the country accent is very strong.
"You're a man?" I was surprised.
"Hmm." He nodded.
"What are you doing in the body of a female paper man?"
"How do I know? This paper figure looks the same, and finally has a little eye, I didn't even look at it and got in, who knew this was a woman? ”
I was about to speak, when a man's footsteps came from the backyard.
My scalp was numb, and I hurriedly lowered my voice and said, "If you find a way to get my bag, I can take you out!" ”
"Okay, I'll try." He was just about to leave when I grabbed his arm and threatened.
"If you dare to betray me, I can pull you on your back even if I die, remember?"
"Hmm." The woman gave me a weak look, turned around, and he met the oncoming man.
The woman whispered, I was so nervous that I didn't dare to breathe, and I thought to myself, "Shouldn't this sell me directly?"
Fortunately, after listening to his words, the man just waved his hand in disgust and told him to go and come back quickly.
Then, the man came up to me and told me that I was ready to start the wedding.
According to the man's wishes, I took Zhixi and came to the backyard.
There is only a simple arrangement here, a few red lanterns, a table, and two wooden plaques on the table, engraved with the eight characters of Zhixi's birthdays and me.
The moonlight was bleak, and the four red candles stood at the four corners of the table, and the night breeze blew, and the candlelight flickered, flickering and dimming.
The man came to the Taishi chair behind the table and sat down, I looked left and right, and asked knowingly, "Uncle, is it just a chair?" What about Auntie's? ”
"Lao Li said that the woman is yin and can't be present, so she didn't prepare her chair."
I sneered in my heart, he didn't need to find this reason, just one sentence Lao Li said, he could solve all the problems, it was really convenient.
Subsequently, it was a cumbersome wedding process, sacrificing heaven and earth, worshipping parents, worshiping mountain gods, burning paper money, slaughtering roosters, and counting blood money.
After doing all this, the man mixed the paper ashes that the blood money had turned into after burning it into a bowl of chicken blood and asked me to drink it.
As soon as I took a bite, the rich fishy smell lingered between my mouth and nose, and I almost didn't vomit it.
At this point, the process of the wedding has roughly ended, and all that remains is the cave room.
When I returned to the villa, I couldn't see the figure of the woman left and right, so I couldn't help but be curious, so I asked, "Uncle, where did Auntie go?" ”
The man glanced at me and asked, "You have something to do with her." ”
"I just feel that on the day of the wedding, I always feel that something is missing when I am alone with you, uncle."
The man smiled and nodded, and said, "That's right, then I'll go and bring her out." ”
The man went back to the house, and after a while, I heard a rustle.
It was the sound of a heavy object dragging on the ground.
Just as I wondered where the voice came from, the man walked out of the room.
He still had the amiable smile of the elders on his face.
Behind him, however, a bloody corpse was being dragged!
Scarlet blood flowed all the way, leaving a trail of blood on the ground.
My eyelids jumped, my heart was bad, and the matter was exposed!
The man threw the woman's body in front of me and said with a smile, "Now there are all the people." ”
I continued to play dumb with the last shred of hope.
"Uncle, aunt, she...... What's wrong with her? ”
"She betrayed me." The man came to the couch and sat down.
He patted the place next to him and said, "Come, kid, you sit here!" ”
I didn't dare to be disobedient, so I walked over and sat down, seemingly calm on the surface, but already in my heart I was already in a mess.
"Child, you said that I saved her back then, but in the end, she betrayed me, should I kill her?"
I followed the man's meaning and nodded heavily: "Yes!" ”
The man rubbed my head with satisfaction: "You are very smart. ”
I didn't like it, it felt like he was touching a puppy, but I didn't dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction.
"People say I'm a bit macho, and I admit it."
"So, I don't want to be in my house and see things that upset me."
"Later, you will accompany Zhixi back to the house, remember, before the time, you two must round the room, there are still two hours, let's go."
The man patted me on the shoulder, not with much force, but it made me feel like a mountain of pressure!
The woman died, or rather, the soul in the paper body died.
The man already knew everything, but he deliberately didn't pierce the last layer of window paper.
I knew that he was adamant that I couldn't escape, and I really couldn't do anything about it.
Afterwards, the man led Zhixi and me to the carefully arranged wedding room.
The tent in the house, carved beams and paintings, is full of the joy of the wedding.
But I knew it was all an illusion.
When the trick fades, I'm probably just facing a tombstone and a grave.
Before going out, the man said meaningfully: "I like obedient children, I hope you understand." ”
When he left, I raised my middle finger at the closed door.
For more than half an hour, I was so anxious that I walked back and forth around the house.
The man came up once and asked how we were going.
I prevaricated on the grounds of shyness.
After the man left, I set my eyes on Zhixi.
She sat there quietly, dressed in a red dress as beautiful as a person in a painting.
I sighed and sat down beside her.
"It's a pity, I wanted to get you out."
"Now it looks like we're both going to have to plant here tonight."
"But don't worry, I'm a serious person and won't take advantage of others."
"He wants us to have a round house, but I'm not as good as he wants."
As if to express my inner troubled emotions, I talked a lot to Zhixi.
She's a good listener, not loud or noisy, and of course, she doesn't want to be like that if she could.
Speaking of the back, I sighed again: "Actually, if I die, I will die, anyway, I haven't died." ”
"I just pity you, you said you were so beautiful, you were still a living person, but you were taken to this kind of ghost place......"
Halfway through speaking, suddenly, I raised my eyebrows and thought of something.
Living!
That's right, Zhixi is a living person!
My blood can't break through the blindfold because I am a living dead and have no yang energy in my body.
But Zhixi is a living person, although women are generally yin, but as long as it is not a few days of menstruation, it is completely enough to break the obstacle!
