Paper horse incense shop

Sometimes, things are so unpredictable.

Although I didn't open the champagne in advance, when I found out that things didn't go well, I still felt a little hard to calm down.

I sorted out my mood, thought about it, and asked softly:

"Do you know where your father placed my second uncle's body?"

Gong Shuji froze, and a wry smile appeared on his lips:
"You may not believe it, but if I knew where the bones were, I would have brought them to you long ago."

Gong Shuji raised his eyes to look at me, his pale amber pupils reflecting my questioning look:

".I promise."

One of the lessons learned along the way is that whether it is a person or a ghost, just listen to what you say.

I opened my eyes and didn't look at him again. I kept thinking about countermeasures:

"With your father's current mental state, how much do you think you can believe what we just said?"

Gong Shuji's eyes did not reach the point of reality, so he was forced to take it back.

In my peripheral vision, I could only catch a glimpse of something in his eyes that I couldn't understand.

Gongshuji said slowly:

"Eighty percent."

Only 80%?
I took a deep breath, and the bad premonition in my heart became stronger and stronger:

"How are you lucky?"

Gong Shuji paused and shook his head:

"She happens to be the 4444th graduate of our school. She will be cut in line when eating. The canteens like to close down one after another. When I go to the store to buy instant noodles, there is no seasoning packet. I brought an umbrella when it rains. As long as I leave it in the storage area, it will definitely disappear. "

“The most important thing is to play the game occasionally and make sure you draw the last draw every time before you can withdraw your money.”

good.
So unlucky!

It's almost on par with me.

I sighed softly:

"The 80%, I'm afraid, is not the possibility that I can escape unscathed, but the 80% that something will happen to me."

Gongshuji shook his head gently:
"I won't let you go. That's all. You'll be fine. If things don't look right later, just leave first."

"As long as my father takes out the bones, I will have a chance to touch the bones and steal them back to you."

"By the time."

I took over what the other person said:

"At that time, other accidents will happen."

Gong Shuji said nothing, and I continued:

"There are always all kinds of surprises. If they don't happen this time, they will happen next time. If they don't happen next time, they will happen next time."

"I want to take advantage of this opportunity if I can."

After all, no one knows what year, month, day, and time will be next, and what will happen.

I have never felt so sure in my heart. This time is the closest I have ever been to my second uncle.

Absolutely sure.

Just like in the past twenty years of my life, every time I came home from the town, I could always feel my second uncle waiting for me somewhere by the Jianshui River.

It's the same this time.

Perhaps it was not that my second uncle had forgotten me, nor that he had not come to find me, but just like what I thought in my mind, he was sealed in the shaft, 'never able to stand up again'.

Therefore, I can also feel the second uncle this time.

There is a voice in my head that always reminds me, 'if you miss this time, there will be no next time'.

"It's taboo for public to lose."

I have never called the person opposite me by his first name, and I have never called the name of the person opposite me so seriously.

Gong Shuji raised his eyes to look at me, and when I met my gaze, I had the words I was planning to say, but I couldn't say them anyway.

Perhaps, I should 'remind' the other party that he was one of the accomplices who killed my second uncle.

Or maybe, I should talk about the two paper-substitutes that I just used as my most powerful trump cards. It was because of him that they disappeared without a trace, and I used them to repay the favor and let him repay the kindness of saving his life.

Or maybe, I should be desperate and plead with the other party in tears, so that he can force him to die and get my father's bones back from his father's hands.
Gongshuji would agree.

I know. His heart was covered by a thin veil that was as light as anything. As long as you stretched out your hand, you could touch it.

As long as I open my mouth, it will definitely beat for me.

I know.

but.
But, he will die.

If Gong loses Ji, he will definitely die.

Because he originally wanted to die.

Yesterday when he reached out to grab the sword, I could tell——

Gong Shuji came here to seek death, he did not want to live.

I spoke, maybe I could actually use this guilt-ridden dying man one last time.

But invisibly, I will kill a friend with whom I can have a long chat after turning off the lights.

A true friend.

A "me" who is full of guilt and shouts people's names in his sleep.

Kill him, kill the other me.

I looked away:
".are you hungry?"

Gong Shuji's eyes were a little disappointed. Maybe he knew that I was looking at him. He stood up and walked to the window again:
"Not hungry."

"Let me see if the wooden cow and the flowing horse are coming."

"I have a suggestion. Let's wait another two hours. If the wooden cow and the flowing horse haven't come yet, then you can leave."

"There are still occasional pedestrians on the street now. In the middle of the night, even if you want to leave, you won't have a chance."

"If my father had already come, he would definitely not choose to go during the day. There is also a time in the first half of the night when everyone may not have fallen asleep yet. The second half of the night is the most suitable time."

That's exactly what I think.

I took a deep breath and tightened my backpack that had been with me all the way from Wanyao:
"I see."

"The worst-case scenario is that not only am I not able to get the bones back this time, but I will also be beaten to death. If I am lucky enough not to be beaten to death by then, please hold your father back. If you live one more day, your father will not come. Make trouble for me."

Gong Shuji leaned against the window and nodded slightly. There was finally a smile on his face:
"I understand, I promise to complete the task."

Until this moment, I finally understood what the smile on Gong Shuji’s face meant——

He hopes that he can still be useful to society and people.

Just like soldiers waiting for orders at any time.

It's really special.

But I can't find the right words to describe Gong Shuji.

The time on my phone had drifted to [10:23], and I took a few steps forward to wait with the other person.

At this moment, Gong Shuji suddenly took a step back, and his broad back suddenly hit my face.

I didn't have time to scream in pain, because Gong Shuji's voice swept through my brain the next second:

".Here comes the wooden cow and the flowing horse!"

My spirit was shaken, and the blush on Gong Shuji’s fair face became even worse:
"I'll go get the things. Just wait for me here."

Although I don’t know where Gong Shuji sensed the wooden cow and the flowing horse, it is obvious that the real problem has just begun.

I pulled the other party's clothes:

"You can't go. If your father follows, you go get the things and almost tell the other party directly that this is not a kidnapping at all."

Gong Shuji’s pace slowed down, and I let go of my hand:
"You lie back on the bed, and I'll use the paper figurine to check it out."

Gong Shuji always responded to his requests and lay down on the bed without any hesitation. I also lay down next to him without any hesitation.

I lifted the other person's stiff hand and put it on my waist:
"Understand, after the soul-possessed paper man goes out, my control over the original body will be very weak. If my paper man is forcibly destroyed and my consciousness is returned to my body, you can still protect me."

"If this is the case now, I can still prevent my body from being stolen after I lose consciousness. If this happens, I can feel it if you move me a little or apply pain briefly. Come and pull away directly from the paper man’s body.”

"Is this okay?"

"You can wake me up if it's very uncomfortable."

Gong Shuji almost squeezed his teeth:

"I'm not very comfortable right now." (End of this chapter)
