Chapter 10 Delegation
The paper man couldn't laugh at all.
But the smile didn't disappear, but appeared on my face:
"There won't really be a ghost who thinks that when my second uncle left, I suffered a loss, and I can make a loss again while my second uncle is gone, right?"
"No, no, no?"
The second uncle didn't plan to say much, so he directly took out an old contempt knife from the package he carried, closed the two fingers, and formed a sword finger, attached it to his forehead, and whispered in his mouth.
At that moment, I actually felt a fresh breeze blowing through my heart, and my whole person was much clearer.
After the second uncle finished chanting, he was about to bite his index finger.
I flashed my eyes, but I saw my ugly paper figure floating down from the roof, because the paper figure had no weight, it floated to the ground and turned a few times, stirring up a cloud of dust, which looked quite ridiculous.
"Don't! Don't don't, don't! ”
The paper man screamed:
"If you have something to say, it's good to say! I'm willing to go, I'm willing to go?! ”
I glanced at my second uncle and had a new understanding of the female ghost possessed by the paper man.
But the second uncle decided that he couldn't let go of the killing move so easily, so after the two of us looked at each other, they quickly reached a consensus.
I took two steps forward, pulled out the pen and paper I had with me, and put on a businesslike attitude:
"It's too late to leave now, who will you give your last name, who is the demon... People, why did they die, did those things that hurt heaven and reason... Why did you lie to me about the paper man, the causes and consequences come one by one..."
"I'll listen, if you're honest, I'll be with my second uncle..."
The second uncle blinked again and again, and my face was expressionless:
“... Think about whether or not to let you go. ”
In the dark, I felt that the paper man's bean-sized eyes glared at me very aggrievedly, and after a long time, he said:
"My name is Xie Jinhua, a native of Yanpu Township."
"I was... It should have died in childbirth..."
"I haven't done anything unreasonable at all... This really wronged me! ”
"I also came out a few days ago, and I didn't expect that I had been buried for many years, and that a young man could dig up my grave and dig me out, and he wanted to sleep with me..."
"This and that! I can only struggle, but that man has a lot of strength, and he is a new ghost with strong temperament, where can I fight, and then I can only..."
Isn't this exactly what Wu Dabao said a few days ago?!
It turned out that the white bones that appeared in Wu Dabao's coffin were the bones of this woman.
I thoughtfully glanced Xie Jinhua up and down, and the other party immediately became honest and continued:
"Fortunately, you rescued me in just one night!"
"And then I followed you two and listened to what you were talking about next door... Knowing your two names, there's something else to do..."
Feeling incredulous, I said:
"It's as simple as that? Then you said that we saved you, shouldn't you repay the favor? How can you repay your kindness and revenge, and you want to deceive my paper man?! ”
Xie Jinhua was a little hesitant, but under the deterrence of the second uncle, in the end, she could only grit her teeth and say:
"To tell the truth, no matter what time it is, there are still people with a conscience, even ghosts, and we don't think about repaying the favor."
"I'm just thinking about my man, I went into the village and floated around, and I happened to hear the family next door to you scolding this name by name, so I wrote it down."
"However, I didn't deliberately listen to the corner, in fact, I just wanted to probe my man..."
"Later, the farther away I was from the mass grave, the more uncomfortable I felt, and I remembered that I had heard Lao Zhang from the grave next door say that the paper figure can be used as a ghost body after the eyes are lit, and it is no problem to go as far as possible..."
“... So, I just..."
"So you thought of taking advantage of my second uncle's departure to deceive my paper man?"
My second uncle and I looked at each other again, the second uncle nodded, and I put away the pen and paper in my hand:
"I know, you left my paper man, and I asked my second uncle to give you a ride... Back to the mass grave! ”
"Don't! Don't go back to mass graves! ”
Xie Jinhua retreated again and again, and she didn't care about the handle in her second uncle's hand at all, and immediately wanted to kneel and beg for mercy.
But the bamboo frame of the paper man was not bent, let alone kneeling, this time he was lying directly on the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.
Xie Jinhua's voice was full of sadness:
"Please, don't send me back... I know that young man was dug out and cremated by you, and then there is no trace of him..."
"I've been lying for so many years... I just want to see my man one last time, please, you are all kind people, help me see my man one last time..."
"The two of us back then... made a vow that it was definitely not to marry each other, he was so stupid, he must have waited for me for many years, even if he died, I wanted to be buried with him! ”
Xie Jinhua's voice was sad, presumably if he wasn't a paper man now, he would have burst into tears by now, which was enough to make the listener sad and the listener cry.
But—
"As you just said, where are there still people with a conscience... If you use such means to deceive my paper man and want to create cause and effect for me, then I can't believe you. ”
I'll smash it, smash it, turn my head and say to the second uncle:
"Second uncle, send people back, this matter is over, hehe, I have to be smart, if you follow the second uncle's messy kung fu a few days ago, I don't know when it will be over...... Second uncle, second uncle? ”
Only then did the second uncle suddenly come back to his senses and put the knife back in his bag.
Seeing that his expression was a little loose, my heart sank, and my heart was not good:
"Well, we don't really have to find someone for her, do we?"
"I haven't heard of this Yanpu Township, and she has been dead for a long time when she looks at it, and it takes ......a lot of trouble to find out."
I was a little resistant to this work, but the second uncle turned a deaf ear to my words, and only said to Xie Jinhua:
"I know Yanpu, this is the predecessor of our current bowl kiln village, it must have been at least seventy years ago."
I was shocked, I didn't expect this female ghost to come so far away, and I heard the second uncle say:
“... Since you have become a climate, then I am also willing to make a good marriage. ”
"But you have to make a deed, and after we find the person you are looking for for you, whether he is dead or alive, you have to work in my paper horse incense shop, and do it all... Ten years. ”
I was shocked, and the faint uneasiness in my heart that I had since returning to my hometown turned into substance at this moment, and I was about to speak, but I was interrupted by the second uncle waving his hand.
The second uncle didn't even look at me, just stared at Xie Jinhua in front of him and asked:
"And listen to my eldest niece the whole time..."
“... Would you like to? ”
Xie Jinhua was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and carefully weighed the pros and cons, and after a long time, she gritted her teeth and said:
"I do!"
"As long as you help me find Brother Zhu, I will continue the frontier. Whatever you want me to do, I'm willing! ”
The second uncle nodded, went to the backroom again to get a pen and paper, wrote a deed, and then asked me to bite my finger and print a blood mark, as for Xie Jinhua, it was recited by the second uncle, and a touch of soul energy was taken and attached to this deed.
This is considered a contract.
The second uncle breathed a sigh of relief, and then re-planned a boundary for my ugly paper man, telling her to stay in it and not come out.
On the second day, relying on the name 'Zhu Daqian' given by Xie Jinhua, we went to several surrounding villages to search for the patriarch and read the family tree, and it took a lot of effort to find the news of Xie Jinhua's husband.
It happened to be in the middle of the adjacent village.
When my second uncle and I arrived at Zhu's house, before we entered the house, we found one good news and two bad news from the neighborhood.
The good news is that Zhu Daqian is not dead.
The bad news is that it's not dying soon.
The worse news:
Zhu Daqian didn't marry Xie Jinhua at all, and his daughter-in-law had someone else.
And, after so many years, there are many children and grandchildren.
