Chapter 15: The paper man who repays his gratitude

Views:

The face of the paper man looked particularly horrified under the faint light of the fire.

I almost called out, and a piece of paper flew out of the paper man's arm, which directly blocked my mouth.

I couldn't scream at all, looking at the paper man with wide eyes, I always felt that she was very familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere. The paper man made a voice: "Don't call, I won't hurt you, I'm here to save you."

A mouth is drawn on the face of the paper man, not a real mouth. The sound comes from her abdomen, which sounds weird. My pupils dilated, I stretched out my hand to tear the white paper on my mouth, and I couldn't help but retreat back.

The paper man spoke again: "We met, don't you remember?"

I couldn't help but froze for a moment, resisting the panic in my heart, looked over again, and found that the paper man's arms, shoulders and chest were stained with blood. There are several places on the body that are wet, and they should be walking in the Poisonous Worm Valley, stained with water droplets and mist.

I suddenly remembered that this was the paper man at Luo Youdao's funeral. During the day today, in order to avoid Luo Dajin, I got into a pile of paper people and horses. When I got in, my body was bleeding, and one of the paper people was stained with my blood.

I still thought that this paper figure was ugly, thinking that she was burned to ashes after all, and went down to accompany Luo Youdao, so I thought it was better to be ugly.

I tore the white paper pasted on my mouth and lowered my voice: "Why do you... how did you survive? How can you run? Shouldn't you be buried in the flames?"

The word "living" is actually not too appropriate. She is a paper man and has no life.

The paper man shook his head gently: "I don't know. When it was dark, those people started to burn the paper man. I felt something was wrong, and then realized that I could move, so I ran away in the dark."

If I hadn't witnessed it with my own eyes, I couldn't believe it at all. The paper man actually ran up by himself and chased it here.

I asked again, since you can run, you should run as far as possible. Why did you look for me in the forest

The paper man shook his head again: "I still don't know why. I just feel that something is leading me in front. I follow along with the feeling to walk forward. I jumped off the cliff and walked for a while, and I saw the flames. Found you."

I slapped my head, wondering whether I believed it or not: "Then you... what are you going to do next?"

The paper man shook his body, the red skirt and green clothes swayed twice in the wind, and said: "I think it may be that your blood fell on me, so I can escape from the sea of fire. I want to repay. I hear you. Talking to the old man, I have waited now, just to take you away."

Repaying your favor? I was taken aback again. It was a weird thing that a paper man wanted to repay his gratitude. I asked in a low voice: "The Poisonous Insect Valley is very large and there are poisonous insects infested. It is very likely that you will get lost. I am worried that after I escaped, I will die halfway."

The paper man looked around: "I always feel like I've been here, you follow me, and I want to take you out of here."

I touched my stomach, and it didn't feel so painful. The two Gu worms in my stomach seemed to settle down. I gritted my teeth and decided to escape. Even if I died, I would leave this ghost place.

But before escaping, I must rescue the red snake. I whispered: "Wait for me for a while." I tiptoed up and walked gently to Shen Yinshan.

The black bag he carried with him was placed beside him. I squatted down and opened the cloth bag carefully, and saw the red bamboo snake with its head tied tightly and its body curled together.

I reached in quietly, my nerves tense, because if I didn't pay attention, I made some noise, and in a few seconds, Shen Yinshan would open his eyes and grab me.

I slowly touched the red bamboo snake. Its body was still cold, and suddenly it rolled and moved. Its movement almost scared my soul away.

I yelled in my heart, Red Snake, don't struggle, I'm here to save you.

Red Bamboo Snake seemed to feel the inner thoughts, and did not struggle any more. I reached out and squeezed the red bamboo snake and slowly took it out of it. The red bamboo snake has strong vitality, and its eyes are still moving.

When I took out the red bamboo snake, my hand touched a hard board, and my heart moved, it was Luo Doudou's spiritual position, and I simply took it away together, and also let out the evil in my heart, causing the two old thieves to return empty-handed.

I took out the spiritual position carefully again, still wrapped it in red cloth. I paced back to the paper man: "Where shall we go?"

The paper man looked around and pointed a direction with his less flexible fingers: "Go over there."

The paper man led the way. I followed behind and walked out more than ten meters. I suddenly felt something holding me. When I looked back, I found that thin ropes were wrapped around Luodoudou's spiritual position, and the other end was tied to it. Shen Yinshan's hands.

I was too nervous just now and didn't have time to check it.

The moment I turned around, Shen Yinshan had already opened his eyes, and the two looked at each other for a moment. Shen Yinshan jumped up: "Little turtle grandson, do you dare to steal your grandpa's things."

Shen Yinshan shouted, and Miao Xiuping also woke up. I pulled off the thin rope, gritted my teeth, and ran forward.

Shen Jinshan and Miao Xiuping jumped and caught up. The two sides are no more than ten meters apart, and they will soon be caught up.

I first threw Luo Doudou's spiritual position to the paper man, and then untied the thin thread tied to the head of the red bamboo snake. The red bamboo snake curled up and came back to life again. I whispered: "The forest is your world. When you help me bite Miao Xiuping, we will each run for our lives."

The red bamboo snake was caught by a miss and was trapped in a black bag. It was already irritated. I drilled in the forest and ran forward in the dark.

Miao Xiuping called: "Good grandson, you give us your spiritual position, we let you go, come back quickly, grandma loves you so much."

I replied: "Go to your grandma's grandson, little grandpa will never be fooled by you again." I deliberately ran to Miao Xiuping, in this case, Miao Xiuping would chase me first.

The light is dark, and the direction can only be discerned with both hands, and the speed of both sides can't be faster. I judged that Miao Xiuping's pursuit was getting closer and closer, and she leaned directly on the edge of a tree, completely attached to the tree, and controlled her breathing.

Miao Xiuping shouted: "Old man, the doll can't run anymore. You must rest on a tree. You go around the front and block the road in front of him. I will copy him back."

Shen Yinshan replied: "Old lady, be careful yourself, this baby chicken thief is very clever, you don't want his way."

Miao Xiuping’s footsteps are getting closer and closer, and I feel that the time has come, and I came out directly from behind the tree: "Old witch, you are ugly. Luo Youdao will play your beauty trick, and I can only say that he is blind."

Miao Xiuping was furious: "I want to cut off your tongue."

The red bamboo snake was wrapped around my hand: "You wait for the next life." As soon as the voice fell, the red bamboo snake was thrown out. The red bamboo snake turned into a red lightning in the dark night.

A venom splashed out and directly hit Miao Xiuping's right eye. After the red bamboo snake hits the ground, it bites on Miao Xiuping's right leg like lightning, then dives into the forest and disappears into the darkness.

Miao Xiuping screamed and fell to the ground: "Old man, ah... I'm so hurt, old man, come and save me. Come and save me... My eyes are burned by snake venom, and my face is going to be ruined."

Shen Yinshan heard Miao Xiuping's scream, and hurried to this side, his voice was already panicked: "Old lady, wait a minute, I will save you. It's okay, no snake venom can kill you."

Listening to the sound of Shen Yinshan running over, I ran to the side, and the paper man jumped from the tree: "You are so smart. You scared me to death just now, thinking they would catch you."

I said, "It's not that I'm smart, but they are too careless, too stupid. My intelligence is brought out by their stupidity."

The paper man giggled.

After Miao Xiuping was caught with snake venom, she was temporarily unable to act. Shen Yinshan has to take care of Miao Xiuping and will not catch up immediately. So I have no worries about chasing, the only thing I need to face is this dark and mysterious valley in front of me.

After walking a few steps, I couldn't help crying because I was so happy.

I feel unprecedented freedom, at least for the time being, no one will restrain my freedom. Luo Dajin didn't even know that I was under the cliff, and Shen Yinshan had no time to take care of me.

When I get out of this valley, I can find a small town where there will be a bus so that I can go home by car. When I think of this, I don't feel tired at all, but I am full of energy, and even the wound doesn't hurt anymore.

The paper man jumped on the branch to point me to the direction. The light was dark and the road was difficult to follow. There were a few uphill roads blocked by big rocks. I was too small to climb over. I walked a long way around.

I don't know how long I have been walking until the sky is light. I really can't walk, so I found a rock and lay down to rest, gasping for breath. The paper man stood on the treetop: "Benefactor, I haven't asked your name, what is your name?"

I said: "My name is Xiao Kang, healthy Kang, my parents want me to grow up healthy and healthy."

In contrast, the name Luo Jiu is ugly, and its meaning is also very unlucky, because before me, eight children have died, and it is my turn to be called Luo Jiu.

The paperman thought for a moment: "Xiao Kang, I remember it, it's a really good name. I remember that I had a name before, but unfortunately I don't remember it now. Or, would you help me choose a name?"
