Nightmare Apostle

After doing all this, someone used a candle to light the trousers of the last paper man. The flames quickly devoured the last paper man, and then spread along the arms to the previous paper man.

The three people with hooked noses took advantage of the darkness and left quickly. They went back much more hastily than when they came in. The servant who followed them fell down because he couldn't see the road clearly.

Looking at the burning paper figures by the lake, Su Tingting felt flustered for no reason, "Those...those paper figures are so scary. I have never seen such paper figures before."

Xu Su stared outside with an uneasy expression, "There are seven paper figures in total, which just matches our number."

Su Tingting's face turned pale in an instant. After getting along with each other during this time, everyone became familiar with each other. "Sister Xu, don't scare me. These paper figures must have been burned to the second young master of the Feng family. Didn't you listen to that old woman?" Tell me, the second young master of the Feng family has just died, and there are still white lanterns hanging outside the gate."

"It has nothing to do with the second young master. These paper figurines are burned for women." The mature and solemn Kuang Hongyi lowered his voice, "Guys and Dolls are the rules passed down by the older generation. These paper figurines are all men. They must be sent down to serve someone." A woman.”

"You are right, and she is a young woman who has not given birth." Looking out through the crack in the door, the burning firelight danced in Yang Xiao's pupils, giving the impression that the paper figures were being swallowed step by step by the dark lake.

Hearing Yang Xiao's words, the other three people couldn't help but turn their heads.

"How do you know?" Kuang Hongyi frowned slightly, and then subconsciously repeated, "I mean, how do you know that this woman is young and has not yet given birth?"

Yang Xiao did not hide it. Properly giving some information would help improve his status in the team. He raised his chin and said, "Look carefully, the left eyebrow of these paper figures is longer than the right eyebrow. And the whole body is covered in red. There is a saying in the industry that this kind of paper man is called Paper Guy. "

"Generally, only after the death of a young woman who has been married but has not given birth, her family will burn paper for her to relieve the pain of lovesickness."

Su Tingting was a little curious, "Pain of lovesickness?"

Yang Xiao was a little helpless, "It's a matter of men and women. The ancients believed that men with long and thick left eyebrows were young and in good health."

At this time, everyone showed a look of realization. Only Su Tingting blinked in shock, "But if seven people are burned at once, can she bear it?"

No one paid any attention to Su Tingting. Kuang Hongyi's eyes changed when he looked at Yang Xiao, and he became polite when he spoke, "Little brother, what did the leader say when he pressed the forehead of the paper man at the front just now?"

"I don't know." Yang Xiao told the truth. It's good that he knows this. Fortunately, he usually reads a lot of messy books. Otherwise, drama fans like to read them.

Kuang Hongyi stood up, changed positions a few more times to look outside, and finally made up his mind, "You guys guard the door for me, I'll go out and take a look."

"Get out?" Su Tingting shrank her neck. The paper figurines outside were still burning. The atmosphere was indescribably weird. She was afraid of those paper uncles just looking at them.

Xu Su, who is also an experienced player, nodded, "It's not completely dark yet, and it's only the first day, so it should be fine. Just be careful."

Feeling Kuang Hongyi's gaze, Xu Su looked at him firmly and promised: "Don't worry, the three of us are here and we will never leave you alone."

Calmly opening the door to the point where he could step out, Kuang Hongyi squeezed out, hunched over, and walked quickly to the lake. Xu Su immediately closed the door.

At the same time, another room not far away was also dark, and the candles were extinguished early. Everyone had almost the same judgment when facing the crisis.

"Someone is coming out!" Ke Long, who was squeezing behind the crack in the door, said hoarsely, his eyes fixed on the black figure in the night, "It seems to be Kuang Hongyi."

This room was obviously smaller, and the vantage point was occupied by Ke Long and Shi Dali. Shi Guanming cowered behind the window, "We...should we go and have a look too?"

Ke Long turned his head and gave him a playful look, "Okay, then you can go ahead."

Shi Guanming trembled and stopped talking. He could clearly see everything that happened outside just now. Those people were sneaky and something was wrong.

"Stand still tonight. When daybreak, we will go find Kuang Hongyi and ask." Shi Dali had no intention of taking risks.

"Then he must survive first." Ke Long looked at Shi Dali, "Also, how do you know he can tell us the truth?"

"Risk and reward coexist. This is an ancient rule. I also know that it is safer to see it with my own eyes, but are you willing to take the risk?" Shi Dali glanced sideways at Ke Long. Shi Guanming was afraid of Ke Long, but he was not. As for what Kuang Hongyi would say tomorrow If you tell lies, he will find a way to judge.

After being bored, Ke Long stopped talking and the two of them continued to observe.

Even if Kuang Hongyi dies in danger, this experience is still a valuable asset for them. If they use it well, they can avoid many detours.

Kuang Hongyi was very cautious. He first made sure that the servants were far away and were not lying in ambush around them, and then he approached the paper figures.

Now there are only two paper figures left, and the penultimate one is burning with flames all over his body.

Kuang Hongyi rushed over with a few quick steps and walked diagonally in front of the leading paper man. In the firelight, he could see that Kuang Hongyi was stunned for a moment. After about a few seconds, as the last paper man burned, Kuang Hongyi chose to retreat. Xu Su opened the door. Let people in.

"It's okay, let's light the candles first." Kuang Hongyi folded his clothes. It was surprisingly cold by the lake, and the chill seemed to penetrate deep into his bones.

As the light came on, everyone slowly breathed a sigh of relief. The dim candlelight brought them a rare sense of security.

Su Tingting was very perceptive. She stood up and poured a cup of hot tea for Kuang Hongyi, "Brother Kuang, warm up quickly."

Kuang Hongyi ignored her. After taking the tea, he turned to look at Yang Xiao, calmed down his nervous mood, and said in a surprisingly kind tone, "Little brother, you are right. Those paper figures are indeed paper sons-in-law. The left eyebrow is much thicker and longer than the right eyebrow."

"Also, the leader pasted a piece of yellow paper on the face of the paper figure, with a person's birth date on it."

"I saw that it was not the seven people of the Feng family who wanted us to ward off disasters, but belonged to another person."

"These paper sons-in-law are all sacrifices to that woman. They also scattered paper money on the ground to get rid of the ghosts."

The second son of the Feng family passed away. Now instead of going to worship, they organized people to sneak to the lake to worship a young woman. This is problematic no matter how you look at it.

Now, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was a little depressing for a moment. Things gradually became clear. The woman that the Feng family was worshipping tonight was probably related to this family-destroying disaster. The next second, a figure standing on the sofa flashed through Yang Xiao's mind.
