Craftsmen are often very dedicated, regard home as a shop and home as a workshop.
Uncle Aliang rode a motorcycle and drove me and Lu Ji hurriedly to Donggou Township, arriving in the evening. But there was no car on the side of the road, so A Liang asked me: "It's almost dark, and it's almost Chinese New Year. How do you get back to the city?"
Green Ji hurriedly said: "The hospital car will be here soon, I will trouble you."
I also expressed my gratitude to Uncle Aliang. A taxi drove in from a distance and stopped beside us. Green Ji pulled the car door and sat in. I hurriedly said goodbye to my cousin and got into the car.
The driver was expressionless, and when he saw me sitting down, he stepped on the accelerator and drove hurriedly towards Luoyang City.
After seeing us leaving, Uncle Aliang also transferred the motorcycle and returned home.
When we arrived outside Anle Town, it was already dark, and there were sparse firecrackers nearby.
The taxi stopped outside a large fence. I got off the car and took a look. A large chimney protruded from the fence, looking towards the night sky. This is the Anle Crematorium, seven kilometers away from Anle Town.
Apart from us, there is no one else here. This place makes me a little bit responsive. Lu Ji also got out of the car and said to me, "Go find Lao Li's paper tie shop."
When I agreed, I followed the wall of the crematorium and searched for half a mile away before I found a lonely house. The house is an old-style tiled house, not big, with the words "Wreath" written on the dark wooden door, but the door is locked.
Green Ji followed and asked me: "Do you know where is Lao Li's house?"
I shook my head. I know Teacher Li's son, but he has never been to his house. Green Ji said to me: "The matter is urgent. We can only take extraordinary measures."
Lu Ji came to the door of Zhizhapu, stretched out a slender jade hand, touched the three-ring lock, and the lock spring bounced off.
I was surprised, and she said to me: "You go in and pick a paper man, the kind he wants his son to make, the more refined the better, and the female paper man!"
Facing the dark wooden door, I was a little scared. When a gust of wind blew, the wooden door squeaked, "What are you still waiting for, don't you want to save your third aunt?"
I had no choice but to bite the bullet, took out the flashlight and opened it, opened the wooden door, and entered the house.
The room was full of paper bundles of various colors, which seemed especially permeating under the shining of a flashlight.
In these paper bundles, I moved away from the brightly colored Jinyinshan, and saw a paper-papiled building still standing on the ground, but I felt a pair of eyes staring at me in the dark.
It may be a guilty conscience. I was sweating and my legs were shaking. A paper horse blocked my sight. I held the flashlight in my mouth, freed my hands and removed the paper horse, a woman dressed in a Chinese costume. The paper man appeared in front of my eyes, lifelike, and shocked me.
This paper man is extremely delicate, and even the buttons on his clothes are clearly visible. There is also a male paper man beside me, staring at me with bitter eyes.
My heart beat immediately, but Lu Ji urged outside the door: "Have you found it, hurry up!"
Help is important. I picked up this female paper man and immediately turned and rushed outside the room. Vaguely, I seemed to hear the crying of women and the humming of men. When I reached the door, I suddenly jumped down from the roof. Sombra let out with a "meow", and I sat at the door in fright.
"Damn cat!" Lu Ji scolded angrily, and then urged me: "Quickly, it looks like someone is coming!"
I got up from the ground and continued to hold the paper woman. Lu Ji buckled the door lock and led the way. When I returned to the taxi, I saw a person holding a cigarette and asking the driver.
Green Ji hurriedly said: "This is the car we ordered!" She motioned to me to put the paper man in the back seat of the car, and she immediately opened the front door of the taxi and sat in the passenger seat.
I also got in the car, and the driver drove immediately. I saw this man staring at us suspiciously outside the car window.
There was a paper man next to me. I felt very uncomfortable. Lu Ji turned her head and asked me: "You should know the address of your third aunt's house, right?"
I nodded and replied, "Of course I remember, it's next door to the east dairy farm outside Anle Town."
The taxi drove to this address quickly, and I immediately understood that Lu Ji was going to use this female paper man to save my third aunt's life, and I hope there is still time.
On the dark highway, a black shadow carrying a chain is also slowly moving in this direction.
Sanyi's house is next to the cattle farm, and the gate is closed at this moment, and there are laughter and laughter, preparing to celebrate the new year.
The taxi stopped at the door of Sanyi’s house, and Lu Ji said to me: "Bring your things and leave the paper man behind. You must not leave your Sanyi every step of the way. I tried to trick the ghost chauffeur. You Mengxian pillow will stay in the car first. Here, it’s not convenient for you to take it with you now."
I agreed, got out of the car with my handbag, took a deep breath, and started calling the door.
The taxi left in the dust, the door opened, and my cousin poked his head out of it. Seeing that it was me, I couldn't help but wonder: "Cousin, why are you here at this time?"
I should, and asked, "Is my third aunt at home?"
Cousin Guo Zhen responded: "Where are you at home? Cousin, come in quickly, haven't you eaten dinner yet?"
When I entered Sanyi's house and came to the main room, Sanyi's family was all there, eating melon seeds while watching TV. When they saw me visiting at this time, they were very puzzled.
Putting down the handbag, I sat on the sofa, the third aunt asked my cousin Guo Wei to cook for me, and then asked me: "You are here from the hospital?"
I had already figured out an excuse, so I nodded and explained: "The hospital will not be on holiday during the Chinese New Year, but I will be off tomorrow, so I will come to your house first, and then I will find a way to go home tomorrow."
The third uncle brought a plate of fried peanuts and said politely: "It's really hard for you to be doctors, and you don't have a holiday for the New Year!"
I agreed, drinking rice porridge and eating steamed buns, while guessing how the ghost chase would take my third aunt's life? How can I fight it
After eating, my cousin cleaned up the dishes, and I asked my third aunt: "How is your body? Is your blood sugar stable?"
The third aunt responded and said: "The doctor has prescribed a recipe for me. As long as I follow his diet, my blood sugar will not rebound. I feel much better recently. Is your work in the hospital going well?"
We chatted casually in the living room, and then there was a knock on the door from outside the door, and the third aunt asked: "It's so late, is there anyone knocking on the door?"
The third uncle responded: "Maybe the town cadres came and told me to drink!"
"It's so late, don't go, it's not safe!" Sanyi advised.
My cousin went to open the door, and I hurriedly looked in the direction of the door.
Soon my cousin returned and complained: "Who is teasing people at this time? I knocked on the door, but no one was seen!"
I immediately became vigilant, and the third aunt said: "Don't worry, Xiaohua, you sleep with Guo Zhen, first wash your feet, the hot water is already boiled!"
After washing my feet and going to bed, I took out these medical books from my handbag and looked through them, mainly reading books on acupuncture and moxibustion, and checked my needle kit again, saying, "Even if the third aunt becomes ill, I can get help in time! "
There was a cat cry from the roof, and I asked my cousin, "Do you still keep cats in your house?"
My cousin explained: "It's the old black cat from the house next door, I always love to come to my house to find food!"
I tried to stay awake and not put myself to sleep, but my cousin said: "It's late, let's go to bed as soon as possible. I can't sleep when you turn on the light!" (End of this chapter)
