Chapter 144: Fire Paper Paves the Way
I saw that the sun had been basking for a long time, and there should be no mud on the path, so I followed the path on the edge of the peanut field, along the East River to the north, all the way down. My idea is to follow the East River to the stone stele bridge and turn left, and then follow the road of Jianzhai Tomb, and you can quickly run to the house.
I forgot that the road I had planned was the most haunted road in people's legends, but I really should have ignored it, and only thought about taking a shortcut and getting home quickly, alas, something happened.
From the hill to the north, along the East River out of the land is less than two miles, is the stele bridge built with a lot of cyan steles, in the field not far from the north of the stele bridge, there is a very small lonely grave, there is a small neem tree on the side of the grave.
As I had just experienced the big worm chasing me with a skull, I almost trotted as I walked north, and I didn't know if I had stepped on a worm lying in the grass, or a toad, but after a while, I ran to the stele bridge out of breath.
It's noon, the sun is shining so fiercely, and I'm running fast, my forehead, hair, and neck are sweaty. As soon as I ran to the stele bridge, I stood on the east side of the bridge, and I wiped the sweat from my face as I lifted the corner of my clothes.
Before I could put down the corner of my clothes, I heard someone behind me speak: "Baby, make way for my aunt, baby, make way for my aunt......"
Who is this, am I in your way? When I looked back, I saw a man with a white cloth on his head and a basket in his hand, standing behind me at some point.
Startling me, I quickly jumped into the middle of the dirt road on the side and got out of the way. Unexpectedly, on this dirt road, not even a single knots and grass grew, and when I jumped over, my feet fell deep into the mud on the road.
Oh my God, I was so annoyed in my heart that I almost cursed. I didn't have time to look at the situation under my feet, and I was busy looking at the man who said I was in the way.
I saw that this was a woman younger than my grandmother, and the white cloth on her head, wide and long, blocked her face tightly, and the two heads of the cloth were tied with the white cloth around her waist. As soon as she saw that I had given way out, she didn't speak again, and walked directly to the head of the stone monument and went to the bridge deck.
This stele bridge, although it is said to be built with a variety of stone steles of different lengths, is extremely stable, and the often turbulent river under the bridge has never washed this bridge away.
Now, the person who asked me to call her aunt with a white cloth on his head, as soon as I walked up, I felt that the bridge seemed to shake slightly. I was startled when I saw this, but when I looked closely, the shaking was gone, and I thought it was me who was too hot and my eyes were dazzled, so I rubbed my eyes, and the woman had already walked across the bridge.
I thought this person was simply telling me to give way, and she crossed the bridge and kept walking. Unexpectedly, as soon as she crossed the bridge, she lifted the white cloth covering it from the basket that was rolled, took out a stack of fire paper from it, and threw it on the road in front of her one by one.
I was taken aback, didn't know what she was going to do, and just stood on the road and watched. The man threw three of them, and then she put out her foot and stepped on the first one, and then she threw it forward, and with each one she threw forward, she took a step forward, and with each step, she stepped firmly on the burning paper.
I was stunned, I never thought of using fire paper to pad my feet. I was very curious, but when I saw that my feet were still stuck in the mud, I didn't get angry. So, when people are angry, they will forget their reason, no, strange things will happen.
Under normal circumstances, don't say such an adult, even if it is a little mouse, stepping on this fire paper, it will also step out a footprint, but I didn't see that this person who can step on the stele bridge swaying slightly, stepped on the fire paper paved on the muddy road, and even more surprising is that this fire paper is directly paved on this thin mud road, but this person has walked over, and this fire paper has not been wet by this thin mud!
But I only cared about the mud sinking my feet, and was secretly scolding and struggling to get rid of the mud, and after a long time, I saw that the man with the white cloth had almost reached the mass grave of Jianzhai Tomb, and I finally got out of the mud.
I was really confused, I didn't look at it, I didn't think about it, I followed the pieces of fire paper, and I stepped on it with enough strength and rushed out.
Hey, don't say it, I stepped on this fire paper, I only felt a little soft, but I couldn't sink into the mud at all, and even if I stepped on it very hard, the mud under the fire paper just couldn't wet my feet. I was happy, thinking, this aunt is really a good person, not only did she step on this fire paper and walked over, but even I could continue to walk the road she had just walked.
I was so excited that I was about to jump up, but just as I was about to catch up with her, the aunt with the white cloth on her head was quickly spreading fire paper on the ground, and at the same time she was about to be blocked by the bushes in the tomb, and I was a little impatient at the thought that I could not see her.
Why did this aunt run to this village tomb? I have a profound lesson in this walled tomb, and the thousand-year-old smiling corpse poison of the Danfengyan in me last time was poisoned in this walled tomb. So when I saw this aunt turning here, I was so anxious.
Thinking about it, the road ahead, it must still be muddy, I left those fire papers, I must be stuck in the mud again, and my head is big when I think about it.
But how could this aunt drill into the mass grave of Jianzhai Tomb, which is a lonely grave without an owner, does she want to go to the grave to burn paper? However, I have never heard of someone coming to the grave here to burn the paper.
I couldn't care so much, so I stepped on the fire paper that kept stretching forward, and then I entered this villaged tomb. As soon as I saw it in, my heart began to get nervous, after all, anything can happen in this tomb.
Isn't this in the aunt afraid, in case the thousand-year-old smiling corpse or the man-eating poisonous spider comes to her like this, what is it, I thought of this, I ran faster, I didn't care about the scorching sun on my head, I didn't care about my own sweat, stepped on this piece of fire paper, and rushed in.
However, however, I saw that the fire paper was spread forward one by one, but the aunt with the white cloth on her head was gone......
As soon as I stepped into this tomb, I was startled, my aunt disappeared, why the fire paper was still spreading forward one by one, as if the fire paper was automatically extending forward one by one.
