Chapter 15: White Paper Lanterns
"Are you sure it wasn't the paper people who became them?"
When Huang Ye said this, he actually leaked a sly smile, as if everything was under control.
It was I, on the other hand, who was frightened by his remarks.
In other words, what we see now is a real person, and what we saw that night is nothing more than a paper person. What's more, these people now have no soul and are put on those paper figures.
Who's behind all this?
"We'll find out tonight." When Huang Ye spoke, he also pointed to the paper figures of the two of us.
By the time everything was done and I was going back, it was just over eight o'clock in the morning.
The sky was still overcast, and it seemed like another rain could come at any time.
"Don't worry, you two, when we go back, we will arrange for someone to dig the road, it is estimated that it will take two days, and you will live in peace in these two days. In our place, you can't eat a bite. ”
On the way back, the village chief still pulled me to talk to Huang Ye.
This is just right, I haven't finished my business with Huang Ye, so we will find another excuse to save it.
When he returned to Lao Wang's house, the people arranged by the village chief in advance had already prepared the meal.
This is the last meal of the white affair, and after eating this meal, the matter is over.
After the meal, Huang Ye was interested in following the villagers to dig the road, but I didn't go with him. I have experienced too many things in the past two days, and I am physically and mentally exhausted, and I don't know what to face at night, so taking the time to rest and recover my strength is the most important thing for me now.
"Set your alarm clock to work hard when you sleep, don't strangle yourself."
When Huang Ye left, he said to me with some concern.
I also feel a little hairy in my heart, if he hadn't woken me up last time, I guess I would have strangled myself to death at that time.
Immediately took his suggestion to order one every hour, and it should be fine.
When they left, I covered my head and slept.
It was dark when I slept this night, and the alarm clock didn't wake me up, or the village chief sent me over for lunch, and Huang Ye woke me up.
"After sleeping for so long, can you still sleep at night? Let's move in the middle of the night, don't get sleepy at that time. Huang Ye looked at me with a slightly worried expression.
"I didn't wake up at all, if you don't come, I guess I'll be able to sleep until tomorrow afternoon." I said as I ate.
Huang Ye glanced at me: "If I don't call you, maybe you will sleep in your life." ”
"If you don't renew your life tonight, try to go out of the village tomorrow to ensure that you can't stand up on your legs and feet."
I didn't answer him, but asked about the collapse at the entrance of the village.
"I dug a path temporarily, but the terrain was unstable and continued to collapse. The village chief said that he would wait for two days to be stable, and he could not bury people in order to build roads. ”
After eating, we didn't talk much, we were all preparing for the evening.
The experience of the past few days has made Huang Ye very tired, and no matter how good his health is, after all, he is also in his sixties.
When I went up the stairs, I felt a little shaky.
I yawned one after another, and although I slept for a long time during the day, it was not enough at all.
At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, Huang Ye and I packed up our things and went out.
As on the previous night, the two of us did not go directly to Lao Wang's grave, but rushed to the village chief's house.
As soon as I arrived at the door of the village chief's house, Lao Wang grabbed me and let me go to the side.
I saw that the door of the village chief's house was opened, and the village chief was carrying a white paper lantern and walked forward with a wooden expression, like a walking corpse.
When they arrived at the main road, they found that the old man with a ravine-covered face was also the same as the village chief, carrying a white paper lantern, and the two converged in one place.
Next, more and more villagers converged.
Eventually, the whole village came out, all carrying white paper lanterns.
In the crowd, I even saw the two who were smashed by Huang Ye with a stick before, and they also followed the team with a limp.
Looking at these white paper lanterns from afar, my heart was pinching together, and I didn't even dare to breathe.
"Take it, follow along."
It wasn't until Huang Ye next to me patted me on the shoulder that I came back to my senses.
Then I saw him make two white paper lanterns as fast as he could, and held them in his hand, and handed one of them to me.
