Paper horse incense shop

Chapter 31 Soul Possession
  As soon as these words were spoken, even a pig could understand the meaning of Zhou Wen's words.

Let me tell you, why Zhou Wen can't be driven away like a fly this time? It turns out that this is what he had in mind.

Actually want to get married!

I couldn't help but darken my face, and raised the corners of my mouth with a smile:

"Don't wait for me to get angry, get out of here!"

This time, my men didn't have any strength and pushed Zhou Wen onto his back. Then I ignored the movement behind me and walked away quickly.

Until I walked far away, Zhou Wen was still shouting behind me:

"Little cousin! Beautiful cousin! Don't leave! My family is really rich. If you marry me, it will save me trouble and I won't have to buy a wife!"

What is this nonsense? !
  I stopped for a moment, feeling a vague premonition about something bad.

But Shibi Village is far away from home, and this village is home to Zhou Wen's family, so staying here is definitely not a good thing.

I could only fly with my feet and return to my home before dark in one breath.

The paper horse incense shop was still empty.

The second uncle must have gone to the back mountain to find the beautiful aunt again. I didn't ask for trouble and drank several bowls of cold water. Then I realized what I had done and sat down to think carefully about what I had seen and heard today.

It's not a big deal, but when I take a look, my whole body feels as if I've fallen into cold winter water.

Zhou Wen said that he bought a daughter-in-law. He must have some connections in the family, or he must have seen others do this.

Coincidentally, the Uncle Chen I met today, whose family is so poor, happened to have married a daughter-in-law a few days ago.
  There is no connection between the two.

Moreover, Uncle Chen sounded as if he knew about the grave where the baby girl was buried in the hill behind Wanyao.
  This matter cannot be ignored!

I drank all the cold water in my hand. Seeing that my second uncle was still not coming back, I simply took out the "Secret Techniques of Paper Making" and looked for any useful techniques for making paper figurines.

After flipping through dozens of pages, I really found a technique that I can use——

‘Paper Man Possessed Soul’

In layman's terms, it means sealing a piece of your soul into the paper man, and then you can share the vision with the paper man.

If you act in this way, you will not only be able to move more easily and travel thousands of miles on the wind, but also protect the caster from danger.

After all, how could anyone in the world always stare at a small paper man no more than the size of a palm?

The more I looked at it, the more clever it seemed to me, so I opened it and got ready to take action.

To say that this paper man has a soul is easy to say and difficult to say.

The simple point is that it almost only requires a simple piece of white paper, and then cut out a palm-sized human-shaped paper leaf from the paper, and then sprinkle it with blood to use.

The difficulty is that the book says that using this trick requires a lot of mental energy. Another way to understand it is that the caster gets tired easily, and needs to recover for a long time every time it is used.

But I haven't used it before, and I don't know how long the casting time will be this time. I still have to try it.

With this in mind, I quickly took out the paper leaves and scissors, and cut out several palm-sized paper figures. Then I dabbed the blood between my middle fingers, closed my eyes and recited three times in a low voice:
  "The spirit protects my body, and my true energy flows through me. The energy is gathered in my wonderful spirit, and the paper guides my soul!"

After three calls, I only felt a lightness in my body——

When he opened his eyes again, he had become a palm-sized paper man on the table!

My eyes were just enough to see the other 'me', eyes closed tightly, lying on the table, as if falling into a deep sleep. I was overjoyed and felt that my body began to become lighter. Just at this moment, a breeze seemed to blow through the gap in the window. I tiptoed, and the next moment, I flew straight up!
  This paper man with a soul is really useful!

I walked the mountain road for a full four hours in the afternoon. I just took advantage of the wind and drifted directly to the entrance of Shibi Village in less than half an hour.

I looked left and right in search of my target, but it was too dark and I wasn't familiar with the village, so I took several turns before finally finding Uncle Zhou's house.

Uncle Zhou's house was quiet as usual at the moment. Both father and son had fallen asleep. I only glanced at it and then turned to the house next door to Uncle Zhou's house.

If I remember correctly, the house next door to Uncle Zhou is the house where his younger brother lives, which is Zhou Wen's house.

That is, three small bungalows that are slightly better than thatched cottages.

As I drifted over, I happened to hear the light turned on in the middle of the three small bungalows, and there was some movement, so I leaned towards the window and tried my best to hide my body and looked inside.

There were four people in the room, one Zhou Wen, a white-haired old woman sitting on the cave, and two middle-aged men and women who looked very similar to Zhou Wen. They must be a couple.

After a long while, the middle-aged man asked:
  "Xiao Wen, haven't you been thinking about your cousin for two days? I took a look in the backyard today and saw she wasn't here? Why don't you invite her to come in and sit down?"

The white-haired old woman said:

"Yes, if you marry her, won't you no longer have to think of ways to find a wife outside?"

"Buying a daughter-in-law is really a life-threatening matter. You will have to shed your skin even if you don't die! These are all the hard-earned money your parents and grandmother saved."

"Are you just lazy and didn't even tell your cousin to come to our house for tea?"

"I'm telling you, don't even think about it. For decades, there has been no one more beautiful than your cousin in these ten miles and ten villages! And he went to college from the village, and there is someone in the family who can earn a lot of money. Qian’s second uncle can also do the work himself.”

"I heard that something happened to the Zhu family in the next village, and she was the one who solved it. She gave her a lot of money!"

Zhou Wen was really annoyed by being talked about so much. He dragged his chair back hard and sat down with his feet raised:

"I said it! How could I not say it? With my cousin's face, I wish I could take it back when I speak!"

"She didn't take a fancy to us at all. I told her to get her delicious food, but she said she hadn't seen any good food before! I don't know how many men I've met before to say this!"

"Don't talk too much about me. I don't know why, but my little cousin is really strong. I really didn't pull her back. I'm worried too."

As soon as these words came out, there was no sound in the room for a long time.

After a long while, the middle-aged man smoking a dry cigarette turned to the middle-aged woman who had been silent and said:

"Xiaohong, bring two hundred yuan with you tomorrow, go to Zhima Incense Shop, order some things, and then say you can't get them back, what's the point of telling that butcher?"

Zhou Wen was so happy this time:

"Liu Bai! My little cousin's name is Liu Bai, and her surname is Tu. It sounds great!"

This Xie Ni's, I was so angry listening to the movement in the house.

What a Zhou family, such a thing!
  Inside the room, the middle-aged man nodded, took out a crumpled roll of money in his arms, drew two large sheets and gave them to Xiaohong:

"You must avoid her second uncle before you bring him back. When the time comes, lock him in the basement and sleep for half a month or a month. If anyone is still unconvinced."

The middle-aged woman named Xiaohong kept her head down from beginning to end without saying a word.

It wasn't until he was slapped by a middle-aged man that he suddenly raised his head as if he suddenly came back to life——

He happened to meet my eyes outside the window!
  　Thank you for your hard work. It’s really important to vote. QAQ
