Chapter 120: Paper Doll
After Wang Liqing finished speaking, he turned around and left without waiting for my reply.
I looked at his back with mixed feelings in my heart.
When I returned to the room and lay on the bed, countless questions were lingering in my ears like countless flies.
I was unbearably disturbed by my chaotic thoughts, so I had no choice but to hold a bitter candy in my mouth before falling asleep.
In the dream, I got on a bus.
The bus was driving fast on the country road, and the surrounding scenery became more and more unfamiliar and desolate.
An owl stood on the tree, its round eyes glowing green. It tilted its head and looked at the moving bus curiously.
I was the only one on the bus, and an old lady carrying a basket.
The old lady talked to me enthusiastically: "Young man, where are you going?"
I looked at her carefully for a moment and found that her hair was combed meticulously, the wrinkles on her face were like ravines, her eyelids were drooped, and the original shape of her eyes could not be seen.
She was wearing coarse linen clothes, a pair of black cloth shoes, and she was carrying a bamboo basket in her hand.
She looks familiar, I'm sure I've seen her before.
I lowered my head and looked at the ground. It was empty. There was no shadow of this old lady.
I was not afraid. Instead, I showed a playful expression, looked at her steadily and said, "I'm going to the same place as you."
The old lady was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect that I would actually speak like this.
She raised her eyelids with her hands, and her big eyes protruded outward, as if they could pop out of their sockets at any time.
She said sinisterly: "Young man, look what's in my basket?"
She lifted up a corner of the white cloth wrapping the bamboo basket, revealing the paper money and incense candles inside.
I walked up to her, took out the incense candle and put it into my mouth, chewed it and then showed a smile.
"It tastes a bit boring. I'll put some fruit in it next time."
The old lady was completely stunned. She stretched out her hand and pointed at me, and was speechless for a long time.
My smile became even brighter. I looked at her shocked and disgusted expression, and finally remembered where I had seen her.
She presided over the joint funeral ceremony of Wang Hexiang and Zheng Huaer in Wangjiacun.
At that time, she was leading a blind donkey, and the donkey gave me a weird smile.
She was the mediator at that time.
Unexpectedly, she would appear here.
Could it be that Guan Hua snatched the steering wheel and killed a car of people had anything to do with her?
I said calmly: "Someone once told me that he met an old lady without a shadow on the bus. The old lady was unkind and killed a whole bus of people..."
"Nonsense!" the old lady said with a gloomy face, obviously understanding what I meant.
She sneered and said: "He shouldn't have gotten on that train at that time. I kindly gave him a dream and persuaded him to get off the bus quickly. Who knew that after he woke up, he started yelling loudly and even had a conflict with the driver.
, took action to snatch the steering wheel, which ultimately led to the car crash and death. It was because he did not listen to the advice, and I have done my best to be kind and righteous!"
But I immediately caught the loophole in her words: "What if you didn't give him that dream?"
"..."
"You have reversed the cause and effect relationship. If Guan Hua had not had nightmares, he would not have been in a hurry to get out of the car, and he would not have grabbed the steering wheel. The dream you gave me was not a kind intention, but a reminder."
"..."
The old lady looked at me carefully, frowned, thought for a moment, and whispered: "So it's you. You can't even protect yourself, why do you want to meddle in your own business?"
I couldn't help but laugh: "I slept well and didn't provoke you. When did I interfere with your business?"
The old lady paused for a moment, but she couldn't resist me. She got angry and took out a palm-sized paper doll from the basket and threw it on the ground.
The paper doll floated into the air and grew when it saw the wind. The paper on its body was covered with white flowers, but in a moment it turned into a little doll with a sky-high hairpin on its head.
The paper doll's face was pale, with round blushes on both sides of its cheeks, resembling the boys and girls burned in the mourning hall, with a ghostly air.
As soon as the paper doll took shape, its eyes started to move back and forth. One looked out the window and the other looked at me. The crooked eyes looked like a child's simple drawing.
The old lady shouted: "Don't kill him, capture him alive!"
The paper doll nodded, jumped into the air, and rushed towards me.
It opened its big mouth, which was as tall as half a man. It was completely empty, not to mention tongue and teeth, not even the mucous membrane.
"Hoo————!" It made a strange cry from its mouth.
I have sharp eyesight and quick hands, and I can easily dodge.
The paper doll was faster, floating in mid-air, quickly approaching me, and bit my arm.
My arm went numb instantly, I couldn't feel anything, and I couldn't pull it out.
The old lady laughed happily. She slowly sat on the seat and folded the white cloth on the bamboo basket: "Zhao Rui, I had no grudges with you, but you meddle too much. Zheng Hua'er
Her infernal corpse has been completed, but you made her resentment disappear.
Do you know how much effort I put into finding such a suitable Infernal Corpse? It is a taboo for bad people to practice cultivation. If you die today, I will give you a ride in this ghost car to prevent you from sinking into the underworld and unable to find your way."
I kept shaking my arms, trying to throw the paper doll out, but its body seemed to be connected to a black hole, with strong suction, trying to suck me in.
I spoke sarcastically: "It turned out that Zheng Hua'er's fake corpse was planned by you. You turned her into an inferi. Zheng Hua'er obviously just left the village, but she died inexplicably. Could it be that you were the one who did it?
?”
The old lady was stunned, her face became more and more gloomy, she turned her head, the silver hairpin on her head shone with sharp light.
"If you continue to talk nonsense, I will send you directly to the tongue-pulling hell, where you will suffer the pain of tongue-pulling out every day!"
I burst out laughing: "What a loud tone! It gave me a headache! Those who didn't know would have thought that the underworld was run by your family and that you were the biological daughter of King Yama! You can do whatever you say?!"
The old lady's eyes were strange and contemptuous. After arranging the white cloth, she said slowly: "You are sharp-tongued and sharp-tongued. I really thought you could survive the underworld, but in the end you can't even understand the legends and reality, and you dare to talk so brazenly here. Little
Xiao, no need to wait, suck him in quickly!"
The paper doll's eyes turned red and seemed to bleed, and the suction on my arm suddenly strengthened.
I couldn't help but groan, turned my body in a weird arc, wrapped myself around the paper doll, and then bit it down.
I just felt that it was so hard, harder than a rock. My gums hurt and my teeth were about to break.
Chapter completed!
