Chapter 498 Peoples hearts are unpredictable, and sea water is difficult to measure.
If he hadn't followed the proprietress to the portrait hanging on the wall, Jin An wouldn't have noticed that there was an urn placed only with the incense and candle tributes on the table below the portrait.
When the landlady opened the urn, a look of surprise appeared on Jin An's face. There were no ashes in the urn, only a bright red human heart.
But this heart is a little special. It doesn't look like the heart of a dead person. Instead, it looks like it's still alive and fresh and bright red.
What's even more surprising is that there is still blood flowing out of the heart.
Sure enough, what the bun shop proprietress said next was exactly what Jin An had guessed: "I... only found... A Ping's heart... His heart is bleeding in pain every day... Please... help me, help my A Ping..."
"
The landlady seemed like she hadn't spoken to anyone in a long time, and she spoke awkwardly. In addition, the landlady had a local accent. Every time Jin An wanted to understand what the landlady said, he had to make guesses before he could understand the meaning.
Although only a heart was left, fortunately there was a portrait painted during his lifetime hanging on the wall as a posthumous portrait. Jin An felt that the paper-pierced woman in red umbrella could still depict the look of the landlady's husband.
However, Jin An did not dare to make sure of it right away, but promised to try as much as possible to the landlady. Even he did not expect that the landlady's husband's body was completely wiped out, leaving only a heart. He could only promise to try as much as possible.
.
Then, he picked up the urn containing the heart and ran back to Fu Shou shop to find the red umbrella girl and stab him with paper.
The red umbrella girl Zhi Zharen is like the loneliest guardian, guarding the door of that dangerous little room day after day, never leaving.
Later, Jin An opened the urn and showed the bright red heart that was still bleeding inside to the paper-pricked person in the red umbrella. He explained the purpose of his visit and wanted the other party to make a paper-pricked person based on the appearance of the landlady's husband and give this heart
There is a whole corpse in the heart.
Under Jin An's expectant gaze, the red umbrella girl nodded calmly. Jin An looked happy, and then asked the other party if he needed anything to prepare? For example, yellow charms for opening the altar, incense candles, soul-calling bells, etc.
of?
But it is obvious that the girl in red umbrella cannot speak. She just silently and skillfully found bamboo weaving, paper, paste, paint brushes, paints and other materials from different places in the Fu Shou store, and began to weave paper to tie people.
Although the girl in red umbrella is just a paper-shaped figure, she is obviously different from other paper-shaped figures in the store. For example, she has a well-proportioned figure, more delicate facial features, and is lifelike. Unlike other paper-shaped figures, who are pale
There were two big red cheeks on his face, giving him a gloomy air.
Jin An happened to take this opportunity to learn the skills of burying corpses and paper-tying people. Perhaps the paper-tying lady in red umbrella also saw Jin An's thoughts. Her hand speed decreased and she took special care of Jin An.
As the red-clad umbrella girl pierced the person with paper, the human shape was gradually formed, and then the facial features were traced, and a man who looked exactly like the portrait gradually became clear.
Looking at the paper-cut man who looked like he was completely alone, Jin An couldn't help but marvel at the other person's craftsmanship.
This craftsmanship is even better than those of old craftsmen.
I don’t know how many years the other party had to practice hard to develop such a skill.
At least Jin An knew very well that this kind of skill could not be mastered simply by practicing hard for ten or twenty years.
Another question came to his mind, how long had the girl in red umbrella been stuck in the Fu Shou shop? Judging from her skill, it must have been a long time... Jin An found himself distracted and quickly shook his head to rule out the problem.
Distracted thoughts, continue to stare at the other person's craftsmanship.
The process of making paper figures went very smoothly. The girl in red umbrella was very skilled in making paper figures. All her movements seemed so smooth and smooth, which was pleasing to the eye. When she made paper figures, Jin An exclaimed in surprise. The lifelike paper figure in front of her
There is a hole in the heart.
This is still an unintentional prick!
"In this reserved heart position, the girl in red wants to put it into the heart of the husband of the bun shop proprietress?" Jin An said thoughtfully.
Unexpectedly, the girl in red umbrella nodded first and then shook her head.
Then, she opened the urn and handed it to Jin An, indicating that Jin An would take out the heart with his own hands.
Jin An looked surprised: "Does the girl in red want me to pick up the heart myself and put it in the place where the paper pricks the person's heart?"
The girl in red umbrella nodded again.
Jin An was not too pretentious. He carefully picked up the bright red heart that was still bleeding. Unexpectedly, he almost failed to pick it up the first time. The heart was quite heavy. This time he finally used strength to pick it up.
People's hearts are unpredictable.
Some people have heinous black hearts.
Some people have evil intentions.
Some people harbor evil intentions.
There are also people who have a pure heart to save the world and benefit the people, are loyal to serve the country, have a hard mouth but a soft heart, have a kind heart, and have great kindness...
The human heart is hard to fathom and the sea water is hard to measure.
It is said that the human heart is separated from the belly, but is it really possible to directly dig out the human heart and judge good and evil based on the color of the human heart? There are only two things in the world that cannot be looked directly at, one is the sun, and the other is the human heart.
Jin An silently looked at the bright red beating heavy heart in his hand. This was the nightmare world of the ghost mother. What did the ghost mother want to tell him?
But at least...
The heart he holds in his hand is not a black heart...
"Sorrow and the love of parents are the heaviest in people's hearts. I hope you can tell me next, what is the weight you are carrying, so that I can understand the truth behind this nightmare..." Jin Anchen took a breath and held the weight in his hands.
The human heart is solemnly put into the heart of the person with the paper on the ground.
Plop
Plop
As the human heart was placed in the position where the heartless paper pricked the person's heart, the human heart actually came to life and began to beat slowly.
Although the beat is slow, it is sonorous and powerful.
At this time, Jin An's hand hadn't completely left his heart. At the moment when his heart was beating, he saw many pictures in his mind.
There is a loving couple in the steamed stuffed bun shop. They are both honest people. Because they use honest ingredients, they go to the butcher before dawn every day to buy freshly slaughtered pork and chop it into stuffings. Therefore, the meat buns they make are special.
The aroma is particularly chewy and is famous far and wide.
But all this was broken by the three little beggars they kindly rescued.
Although the bun shop run by the couple was not incapable of making a lot of money, because they were hard-working, they were able to have enough food and clothing. There was a famine that year, and many refugees flooded into the local area. The couple couldn't bear to see these refugees living on the streets, so
Kindly take in three little beggars.
Boom!
When Jin An saw the faces of the three little beggars, his heart suddenly beat heavily in his hand. Bang, a palm grabbed Jin An's wrist tightly, waking Jin An from his memory.
It turned out that the paper-pricked man with a beating heart exposed came to life. He carefully pulled Jin An's hand away from his heart and shook his head at Jin An.
It can be seen that he has no ill intentions towards Jin An.
"You hate it?"
"Can't take a breath?"
"What did those three little beggars do to you and your wife? Just one look at their faces made you filled with hatred and unwillingness?"
Jin An was very smart, and he immediately thought of the crux of the problem: "Are the three little beggars who harmed you and your wife still alive today, and do you want to take revenge on them?"
