Chapter 273 The show begins
You Qi is like a walking atmosphere terminator. After what he said, Tang Shirou dropped the paper head on the ground with a trembling hand.
After the head rolled on the ground a few times, it hit the box, made a soft "dong" sound, and stopped.
But what no one expected was that the stopped paper man shook his head and turned his face towards where Tang Shirou was standing.
Under the rough craftsmanship, the corners of the tear-like eyes were slightly raised, and the position of the mouth was severely scratched with a red pen. It felt as if he was smiling at her.
A chill spread along Tang Shirou's spine.
The next second, it spread all over the body.
Night fell quickly, just like last night. The lake surface under the night was slowly enveloped by a mist blowing from nowhere. The three teams huddled cautiously in their respective rooms.
All the candles were lit, but no one made a sound.
They are all waiting.
Waiting for the sound of drums as the opening horn of the show, and Mr. Huang.
Three human heads were placed in the corner of the room. Under the dim candlelight, the fat man only glanced at them, and he was so frightened that his hair stood on end.
Although these paper heads looked rough during the day, when flickered by candlelight at night, each of them seemed to come to life with grinning teeth.
Later, the doctor explained to him, saying that although the workmanship of these paper heads was rough, they were all made with great effort. The person who made the work was a veteran, and each stroke was done by Shen Yun, not What ordinary craftsmen can do.
The fat man seemed to understand what he heard, but he knew that the doctor was very good at painting, especially sketching. A few strokes could outline the most important charm of a person. In the beginning, he relied on the doctor’s drawings. Xia Meng was found only after painting.
It is said that art is interconnected, so it should be similar between the two.
He thought to himself.
"Huh?" The next second, the fat man's eyes suddenly moved.
"What did you do when you were so surprised?" Xia Meng asked in a low voice. She was also nervous at the moment, and the fat man's sudden voice interrupted her thoughts.
Jiang Cheng turned his head, stared at him and asked, "What's wrong?"
The fat man didn't speak at first. After a while, he asked in a low voice in a less confident tone: "Did you hear anything just now?"
"No."
"You heard it?" What?" Jiang Cheng asked.
"I don't know either." The fat man said honestly: "It's crashing, it seems... it seems to be something." He paused, thought for a while, swallowed his saliva and said: "In the lake "Liyou."
Hearing this, Xia Meng's expression immediately changed, "Are you sure?"
"No." The fat man was a little nervous, "But I really..."
"Boom!"
The eyes of the three people changed at the same time.
It’s the sound of drums.
Although it is not very loud, it can be said to be clear in this silent night.
The sound of drums is ethereal and spreads far along the lake.
“Boom!”
Another sound.
"Get your things, let's go," Jiang Cheng put on the paper head first, and then slowly opened the door a crack.
The fog is lingering on the lake outside, even covering the lake. If it weren't for the chilling atmosphere, it would really be like a fairyland on earth.
Fatty and Xia Meng also put on their paper heads and followed Jiang Cheng out.
The view is not good now, and the three of them are all wearing costumes and paper heads. Without listening to the sound, it is difficult to tell who is who.
In this way, the three of them groped their way to the lake. During this period, each of the three of them pulled the sleeve of the other person.
This was Jiang Cheng’s idea. After all, in this ghost place, even if you disappear for a minute, you may not know what the thing is when it comes back.
The other two teams were faster than them. They had now merged and were standing by the lake, looking towards the other side.
On the other side of the lake, there was a faint light.
At first there were only a few, then a dozen, and finally dozens, all bright red lanterns, just floating on the lake, wandering in the mist.
Like a gouged out, blood-red eye.
"The drums have sounded, so without further ado," An Xuan's voice came from a head, "Let's gather at the designated location first, and then start preparations."
No one had any objections, this was decided from the beginning.
After walking half a circle along the lake, they finally found a secluded house at the location marked on the paper.
It seemed that no one had been in this house for a long time. When the wooden door was pushed open, there was a long, harsh "creep" sound.
The moonlight is very good tonight. Against the bright moonlight, there are two boxy red sedans placed in the open space in front of them.
The curtain in front of the sedan door was opened and tucked on the left and right sides, and there was only one seat inside.
The sedan is surrounded by colorful auspicious patterns, which is very festive and seems to be used by wealthy families to welcome their brides.
But at this moment, no one felt happy, because the scene they were going to perform today was to use these two red sedans to receive the bride.
We pick up the bride at midnight.
"Have you remembered all the steps?" It was still An Xuan's voice, but at this moment, he, who was always calm, also had some ups and downs in his tone.
“The people in our room, plus Brother Chen, are the first group,” An Xuan said. “After the third drum sounds, we go first, and then the remaining people are the second group. , go up and respond after the fourth drum sounds."
"Remember." An Xuan lowered his voice and emphasized: "After the play starts, everyone should not speak or make any unnecessary movements. Don’t take off the paper heads and costumes to avoid changes. ”
"The five drum sounds are for changing sedans, and the people in the sedan do not need to move. The six drum sounds are for two groups of people to carry the sedan and disperse from the left and right, and then come back to gather here. When the seventh drum sounds, the play is over. "Okay."
"Okay." He took a deep breath. , and slowly spit it out, the eyes exposed in the paper head's eyes faintly reflected the light, "I hope everyone can get through this safely."
After the words fell, the two groups each rushed to their own red. The sedan, this was all discussed before.
A group of five people, four bearers and a "bride".
Since she is a bride, it is natural for a woman to dress appropriately, so among An Xuan's group, only Tang Shirou is suitable, while among Jiang Cheng's group, there are two women, Xia Meng and Zuo Jing.
Although they are all acting, at least from a sensory perspective, playing the bride is more dangerous, although the script does not mention who is getting married late at night.
But anyone with long hair will understand that the groom is Mr. Huang.
Because he is the protagonist tonight.
To put it bluntly, people like him are just supporting characters to cooperate with him.
Just when Fatty thought that Xia Meng and Zuo Jing, two seemingly shrewd women, would have a dispute over this matter, Zuo Jing actually accepted the job easily.
This really shocked the fat man.
It seems that in Zuo Jing's eyes, it is safer to be the bride betrothed to the young master of the Huang family.
