Paper Maker

Chapter 36
I was really surprised when I heard this weird thing, but I was even more worried about that paper man, because if it is true as the old man said, then it is very likely that Boss Bai has impaled his soul on that paper man Otherwise, Boss Bai's shadow would never have disappeared.

If the paper figurine has a psychic connection, then things will be troublesome, ranging from frightening people to killing people at worst.You must know that paper dolls were originally made by living people and burned to the dead. Paper dolls will not be burned willingly, so they usually have resentment in their hearts, and then they will naturally harm people everywhere like fierce ghosts.

The old man saw that I was in a hurry, so he said, that paper figurine ran along the West Street of the town a long time ago, and went straight out of the town, and he didn't know where he went. Do you think it's strange!
When I heard it, I thought it was really a bad thing. If I didn't find the paper figurine sooner, maybe disasters would happen around here soon.

While thinking about this, the police in the store came out and took notes on the crowd.Mian Wan leaned forward into the store and glanced at the corpse on the ground. It was just like what the old man said before. Boss Bai died horribly. He was dressed in paper clothes, and a bamboo splinter pierced through his body was dripping with blood. Yes, it is very dazzling, it looks like a paper figurine strung on bamboo pieces.

As soon as I saw Boss Bai's terrifying corpse, I knew that this matter was really not simple. It was probably not man-made, and most of it was done by that paper man.We must know that ordinary people cannot easily wear a person from the lower body to the head with a piece of bamboo, how much strength is required for this?

It's fine if I didn't come across this matter, but now that this matter has been encountered by me, it is naturally impossible for me to stand idly by.The old man told me before that the paper figurine ran to the west, so I didn't delay any longer and just chased it to the west...

This chase lasted for a long time, and I went straight out of the town. When it was dark, I came to a small forest.Seeing the darkness all around, I thought to myself, it seems that I can't catch up with that thing today.

So I thought I wouldn't chase tonight, since it's dark and I can't see it, so I might as well find a place in the woods to stay overnight, and look for it after dawn.

I found a place under a big tree, put my burden under the tree, and leaned against the tree to sleep, but unconsciously, there was always a faint sound in my ears, which sounded like The sound of the suona, singing lili nana...

I was wondering, why is there still playing suona in this field?At first I thought I heard it wrong, but when I listened carefully, I realized that I had heard it right. The sound of the instrument that seemed to come from nowhere was indeed the sound of a suona, and the melancholy and bleak melody should be done. A tune played by people at funerals.

Immediately, I followed the suona sound to find it, passed through the forest in front, and then found that the suona sound came from a farmhouse at the foot of Linzi Mountain.

I saw the farmhouse at the bottom of the mountain, which was brightly lit at night, and the smoke was wonderful. There was a row of white flower wreaths and paper figurines outside the yard. The head is doing the funeral.

However, at this moment, I suddenly saw a white shadow running towards that house not far from that house, and then that white shadow went directly through the courtyard wall and into the house. In the house of every family...

I was startled, and faintly felt that the white shadow must be the paper man I had been chasing, so I hurried out of the woods and ran towards the family down the mountain...

Not long after, I finally came to the house where the funeral was held.It was already late at night, and there was no one outside the house, it was empty. There were only two gray lanterns hanging above the gate, and they kept shaking when the night wind blew. It looks a little permeable.

The gate was not closed, and it was just like that. I looked into the yard, and there were also big white lanterns hanging inside, but there was no one.

I thought about it, although it is impolite to enter someone's house like this, but I knew that the paper doll had entered this family's house, so in order to prevent other disasters from happening to this family, I walked directly into the courtyard went in...

The courtyard is not big, and there are no electric lights, just a few lanterns for lighting. At this time, there are suona drums on a table of eight immortals. It is obvious that those who played the funeral music before have gone to sleep.The whole yard was quiet, there was no sound, I glanced around, thinking that I clearly saw a white shadow coming in, why didn't I see it?

So I walked through the courtyard and came directly to the living room, and saw a large black coffin placed directly above the living room. On both sides of the coffin stood a pair of paper figurines of boys and girls. Dressed in white linen mourning clothes, he was dozing off at the table in front of the coffin.

Seeing that I finally saw the owner, I was ready to go up and say hello to them, lest people think I had some bad idea to break into their house.But just when I was about to go forward, there was a sudden "cough" in the dead and quiet living room, and a man's cough came out. This sound was very harsh in this quiet mourning hall.

I was taken aback for a moment, thinking that there were other people in the mourning hall, but when I looked around, there was no one at all.And the two men and women who were lying in front of the mourning hall were also awakened by the coughing sound. They looked up in surprise, and then there was a scream of "ah!"
When I saw it, I was also shocked. It turned out that there was an old man in a shroud in the coffin above the mourning hall, who sat up straight at some point!

The old man's pale waxy face was covered with corpse spots, and he was staring at us with two big eyes...

This frightened the two young men who were guarding the spirit. They fell from their chairs to the ground in fright. Then they got up in a panic and wanted to run outside, but when they turned around, they saw me quietly. Standing at the gate of the mourning hall, they let out a terrifying scream of "Ah", and then fell to the ground paralyzed in fright...

Looking at the two young men who were trembling with fright on the ground, unable to even walk, I suddenly seemed to understand something, and I really wanted to say, brother and sister, please listen to my explanation...

However, I know that I don't have time to explain at all, because the dead body that sat up straight from the coffin has crawled out of the big black coffin at this time!
I didn't dare to delay at the moment, and rushed into the living room directly, and at this moment, the screams of the young couple might be heard in the side room, and a panicked man and woman also rushed out at this time.

I glanced at them, both of them were in their fifties, and they should be the parents of the young couple.When they saw their children lying on the ground and seeing me, a stranger, standing in front of the living room, they immediately wanted to question me, but when I pointed to the top of the mourning hall, they understood most of it.

At this time, the woman yelled out in fright, and the man was also terrified, but he shouted tremblingly: "Dad...Dad...you...how did you survive?" ..."

I said that's not your father, hurry up and take your children outside, or you'll be in big trouble.Indeed, the face of the old man in front of him was covered with corpse spots, he was so dead that he couldn't possibly come back to life.

As soon as the couple heard this, how could they not listen? They hurriedly carried a young man on their backs, and ran out of the yard...

At this time, the old man who suddenly cheated the corpse had just climbed out of the coffin, and angrily tore the pair of boy and girl paper figures next to the coffin to pieces, cursing in his mouth, paper man, paper man, I want to turn all of you paper-making and paper-burning people into paper figurines...

Listening to the cursing words of this old man who climbed out of the coffin, my scalp became numb, because I thought of the old boss Bai who ran a paper-making shop in the town before, he looked like a paper man when he died. what?

The two paper figurines were quickly torn into pieces by him, then he turned his head and stared at me, then grinned strangely on his face covered with corpse spots, and let out a strange "hee hee" sound at me !
Then, he picked up the longest bamboo stick from the torn paper figurine, and walked towards me in a strange way...
