Chapter 1052 Crazy Woman
After the door opened, the fat man immediately noticed a shed in the yard. There were four paper horses in the shed and an eight-carriage sedan. The horses were pale and pale, and The sedan chair was painted bright red.
Following the man as he walked in, everyone walked very cautiously. When passing by the built shed, Jiang Cheng paid special attention to the paper horse and sedan chair. These things were only semi-finished products, and some colors were not yet painted on them.
And the most important thing is that the surface of these things is already damp. Obviously, it is because the paper maker died and no one cares about them anymore.
Suddenly, a strange and terrifying guess came to Jiang Cheng's mind. Could it be that the papermakers ran out of the house because the papermaker was gone.
Or maybe the death of the paper maker is related to these weird paper figures.
There were several houses in the yard. They went to the middle one first. This house should be where the papermaker and his wife lived. It contained beds and various daily necessities.
After searching around inside, they even opened several large wooden boxes, but there was no sign of the woman. Zhang Junyu closed the lid and shook his head, "No, it doesn't look like the woman has come back. . ”
Going through this house, not far behind the house, there is another, larger room.
The house looks different from a normal room, it is more than 1 meter higher.
What's even weirder is that this house has no windows, only a black wooden door that looks very depressing. As you can imagine, even if the sun is shining brightly outside, the house is pitch black.
Such a house is very depressing and unlikely to be inhabited. It looks more like a warehouse.
The man leading the way walked towards this room and introduced as he walked: "This is the room used by the paper maker to store the paper people and horses. This room was specially built like this. I also I’ve only heard of him, but I’ve never been here.”
“After all, he’s in this kind of profession, so we have to avoid him to some extent,” the man said. He suddenly stopped here, as if he realized it later, he turned his head in embarrassment, and apologized to a few people: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing, the paper maker and you guys who picked up the corpses It's all the same. It's all about doing good and accumulating virtue, and it will bring blessings in the future."
"I don't know if there will be any blessings. It's just about making ends meet." Jiang Cheng didn't care.
Arriving in front of this room, as soon as he got close, there was a cold wind blowing in his face. The fat man couldn't help but pull his clothes up, at least to cover his neck, "It...it's so cold here."
Zhang Junyu glanced at He glanced at it and said, "It's not cold, it's Yin. The Yin energy here is too strong."
Yu Chengmu ignored them and walked straight to the corner outside the house and stood on tiptoes. Only then did everyone notice , there is a bell hanging under the eaves.
It seems that the bell has been hanging outside for a long time and has experienced countless exposure to wind and sun. But what really attracted everyone's attention was that after the bell was moved, it made no sound.
Yu Chengmu turned the bell upside down and showed it to everyone, with a strange tone, "The inside of the bell was sealed with wax."
"What is this?" The fat man stared at the bell and asked curiously.
Yu Chengmu hesitated for a moment and shook his head, "I don't know. Hanging this kind of bell under the eaves should serve as a warning. If there is an evil spirit approaching, the bell will sense the Yin energy and will automatically move when there is no wind. But... why? How about sealing it with wax?”
“I said, masters. Let’s stop talking about it, it’s so scary. I think we should hurry up and look for someone. It doesn’t matter if we can’t find him or not. Let’s… let’s hurry up and leave after searching.” The leading man stared at the dark wooden door and couldn’t help but touch it. The arm said that at some point, a layer of goosebumps appeared on his arm.
As Zhang Junyu said, when you get close to this place, it’s not simply cold, but a downright gloomy feeling.
After saying this, the man swallowed, then stretched out his hand to push the door open, but before his hand even touched the wooden door, he was grabbed by Zhang Junyu and pulled aside.
"You...what are you doing?" The man was very nervous.
"Don't move!" Zhang Junyu's expression was even more nervous than him, and veins were popping on his forehead. He stared at the position under his feet. About a few inches in front of the threshold, there was a very thin line.
The thread had been broken and scattered on the ground. Jiang Cheng and Chen Hao frowned slightly, neither of them noticed.
Yu Chengmu squatted down and twisted the thin thread with his hands. The other end of the thin thread was fixed on the wall. It was obviously carefully arranged. If someone walked into this room, it would be difficult to avoid it. .
In everyone’s understanding, this should be an anti-theft measure set up by the papermaker, but this idea disappeared in an instant. Where is this place?
This is where the paper figurines are stored. Who would steal such a thing?
It’s not to prevent people from getting in. What else could it be? Is it possible to prevent the things inside from getting out?
As this thought flashed out, everyone’s faces turned ugly.
"Come and see." Yu Chengmu gently pulled the thin thread, and slowly, on the other side of the broken thread, everyone saw a white thing being pulled.
It's...a broken piece of paper.
The paper was caught on the thin line, as if it had been scratched accidentally.
Du Moyu took a deep breath. His mental ability was as good as that of Fatty. A picture quickly emerged in his mind: in the dark night, a long series of paper drawings on eyebrows and eyes. People jumped out of the house one by one. Among them, one of the paper figures accidentally touched the thin thread, and this piece of paper was scraped off at that time.
Just last night!
Those paper figures went to them. They went to the Wu family mansion and carried away the large coffins.
The fat man swallowed hard and said he didn't want to go in anymore.
Finally, Yu Chengmu took a deep breath, stood up, and pushed open the wooden door in front of him. When the wooden door was pushed open, a smell of paint and decay hit his face.
It was very dark inside, abnormally dark. The man found a lantern behind the door. After lighting it, a group of people walked inside. The space in the room was larger than expected, separated by thick cardboard. , separated into several channels.
On both sides of each passage, there are paper figures.
The paper figures are almost all semi-finished products, with different shapes and movements. Some have only rudiments of facial features, while some have no face at all, just a bare head.
"Masters, you have to look carefully, maybe that crazy woman is hiding among these paper figures." The leading man suddenly said this, and everyone's hearts were raised again.
The man walked slowly in front, and the passages were connected to each other. Everyone walked back and forth inside. The light of the lantern was not very bright, and the shadows around him made the colorful paper figures even more terrifying.
What’s even weirder is that there are many paper figures hanging from the ceiling, tied around their necks with a hemp rope, as if the paint is still wet.
As a gust of wind blew, the hanging paper figures swayed slightly, with two stiff paper feet swinging above their heads, and the crunching sound of hemp ropes sounded in their ears. (End of this chapter)
