Paper Maker

Chapter 44 The Sound of Footsteps in the Attic

The paper figurine was finally solved, and my heart was somewhat relieved, and I didn't have to worry about it being snatched away by the two paper chiefs of Duan's family.Of course, it is impossible for there to be only one psychic paper figurine in this world, but I just hope that those two paper figurines will not have that good luck to get it!

But now that the paper figurines are resolved, there is no goal in my heart, and my heart becomes empty for a while, thinking wildly, and I don't know where the two paper figurines are now, will they come to seek revenge on me?

I shook my head to shake off these messy thoughts, thinking that what should come will come anyway, it's useless to think so much.So I strode forward. In the next few days, I passed through several villages, and everything was peaceful.It's just to make a good living. Along the way, I will learn some fortune-telling and draw symbols from the villagers, so I can live comfortably.

One day, I came to a strange village. It was almost dark at this time, and the village was surrounded by mountains. I thought that if I left the village, I might have to spend the night in the mountains tonight, so I planned to stay in the village overnight. It is not too late to leave after dawn.

Because when I first entered the village, I didn’t know anyone, and it was almost dark, and no one would come to ask me to tell my fortune, so I couldn’t find a place to stay for a while.

I walked around the village, and then there was a very old house at the other end of the village, which caught my eye.I saw that the house looked older than any house in the village because it was a wooden building.Of course, what attracted my attention was not because of his wooden building, but because the house seemed to be unoccupied. At this time, the lights began to light up in every house, that is, the wooden building opposite the village was dark. Sadly, apparently no one was home.

Thinking of this, I walked towards the house on the opposite side of the village, getting closer, and I confirmed my guess, because at this time I could see that the house was covered with weeds as tall as a person.Let me ask, if it is a house with an owner, how can there be such tall weeds growing around the house?

I was very excited about my discovery, and thought that I could finally not have to sleep in the wild tonight, and I didn’t need to be cheeky to borrow from fellow villagers. Anyway, it was an unowned house, and I would stay there for a while tonight. The night was just right.

Thinking of this, I quickly walked towards the old wooden house in front of me...

But at this moment, an old man's voice suddenly came from behind, he said, young man, where are you going?
I saw that the old man was chasing after him on purpose, so I stopped. I pointed to the lonely old house on the opposite side and said, I came from another place. Stay there for one night.Of course, if the house has an owner, I will not go there.

I say so.

When the old man heard this, he gave up and said, "Young man, that house is not suitable for living. If there is no place to live, you can come to my house to stay for one night!"

When I heard this, I became curious, so I asked him, what happened to the house, why can't I live in it?
The old man seemed unwilling to tell me more about the house at all. He said, if you can’t live in it, you can’t live in it. You can either leave quickly or live in my house. In short, if you must live in that house, what happened? Don't blame me for not reminding you.

At this time, I naturally understood the meaning of the old man's words. Obviously, there was something wrong with the house.

I thought to myself, forget it, I'd better not go, so as not to ask for trouble.But after thinking about it, I am a half-hearted Mr. Yin Yang. If I encounter a haunted house and dare not even live in it, and run away in fright, wouldn’t it be too embarrassing?

To be honest, I don't mind making my own mistakes.But if the news got out, it would completely disgrace Mr. Yin Yang's business.Those who do yin and yang are afraid of haunted houses, this sentence really doesn't sound a little bit ironic, if it is sung, won't it tell the world that Mr. Yin and Yang are all swindlers?He said drawing talismans to exorcise ghosts, but he actually slipped away when he encountered a haunted house?

Thinking of this, I told this kind old man that I am Mr. Yin Yang, and I would like to see what is going on in that house.

Hearing what I said, the old man shook his head and sighed a few times, then he stopped persuading me and left.

When I approached the old house, I realized that the old house was even more dilapidated when viewed closely. The wooden walls were covered with huge cracks, and the floor was covered with rotten tiles that had fallen from the roof. Seeing that the door of this house is broken, looking into the house from the opening of the door, one can see that the inside of the empty door is dark and gloomy.

Seeing the appearance of the old house in front of you, you don't need to think about it to know that no one has lived in this house for some years.Entering the house, I saw that the house was empty, probably because the sky was already dark, and the house had not been lived in for a long time. I couldn't help but feel that the house was gloomy and gloomy, with gusts of wind blowing from time to time.

Of course, as Mr. Yin and Yang, I will not be afraid of it. After all, I understand that any unoccupied house for a long time will generally have no yang energy, so it is normal for the house to be full of yin.

In yin and yang art, it is believed that everything in the world is divided into two poles, one yin and one yang, and people represent yang. Any house that is inhabited by people is generally full of vitality, even if people are not in the house.As for the unoccupied house for a long time, due to the relationship of time, the anger left by the previous owner will slowly dissipate.If you have to put it bluntly, places where people often live are usually bright and bright, but places where there are no people for a long time will give people a gloomy feeling. If the house has no yang energy, all kinds of grass will grow.Generally speaking, if grass still grows in the house you live in, it means that there is something wrong with the house, ranging from someone in the family who suffers from illness all the year round, to severe cases where no one can live there anymore.

Closer to home, I decided to stay here for the time being, so I checked in the house.The house is full of cobwebs, and there are yellow talismans pasted on the door frames of each door. There is an altar table above the living room, and there is an oil lamp on the altar table. I picked up the oil lamp and looked at it. I was surprised. I was very happy to find that there was kerosene in the oil lamp. It seems that I will not sleep in this dead room in the dark tonight.

I hurriedly lit the oil lamp, and then the room gradually became brighter.I looked around with the oil lamp in my hand, and found that there was nothing in the room, not even a bed.Fortunately, when I came, I saw a lot of dry straw in the field in front of the house, so I went back to the field and brought a bundle of straw and spread it in the living room, which is a place to sleep at night.

That night, I sat on the straw, took out dry food and gnawed.Because the old man said before coming that the room was not very clean, so I didn't feel sleepy, so I just sat on the ground in a daze.

The night gradually deepened, and the cold night wind blew in from the broken door opening into the house, making the flames of the oil lamp in front of me flicker and dance, if I didn't protect it with my hands from time to time, It would really be blown out by the night wind.

On such a night, staying alone in such a dilapidated old house, I really didn't feel very good in my heart, and I always felt chills in my body.Perhaps, this environment is too permeable?
It took a long time to sit for a long time, because I had driven the mountain road for a day, and now I started to feel a little sleepy after sitting for a long time, and I just stared blankly at the oil lamp next to me in a daze.And at this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of someone walking upstairs, and the sound of "dong dong dong" kept going...

Because it is a wooden building, the sound is very loud and very clear.I was immediately startled, how could I feel sleepy at all?Because the sound was so strange, it was obvious that no one had lived in such a dilapidated house for many years, so how could there be people upstairs?
Immediately I looked up at the attic planks above my head, and then I could clearly feel the sound of footsteps coming from above my head, and every time I heard the sound of walking, the attic floor above my head vibrated slightly.

Seeing this, I thought to myself, did the old man really not lie to me?Is this house really haunted?
