One meter high

"How could it be such a coincidence." Zhu Qi disagreed, "What kind of paper doll can become a living person, do you really believe it?"

"Hehe, young man, you don't know about this." The old lady smiled suddenly, showing her withered teeth, "The paper dolls I'm talking about... are made of the skin of living people."

As her words fell, there was a "click, click" sound outside the door, like the sound of wind blowing tree branches and scraping against glass—but Zhu Qi just walked in from the outside, where is there any big tree outside the door?

There is only one pale paper man.

"You, you are joking!" Zhu Qi was beating his heart, he couldn't help guessing, could the paper figurine be lying outside the door at this moment, using his dry hands to peek through the crack of the door?

"No." Jiang Banxia said suddenly.

This little girl can do magic.Zhu Qi calmed down a little, and looked at her inquiringly: "What did you find?"

"If it's made of skin, it should be called a skin man." Jiang Banxia pointed out the problem with a serious face, "It can't be called a paper man."

Depend on!

Not only Zhu Qi, but even the old lady looked choked.Jiang Banxia's ability to find key points is really unfathomable, Zhu Qi stared for a long time, and found that the strange atmosphere before had disappeared.

"So you can hear me." Zhu Qi knocked on the counter and said to the old woman, "Ma'am, let me ask you something, is Liu Juan from our village?"

"What?" the old woman asked, "What roll? Oh, want to buy cigarettes? Okay, I have cigarettes here, together with the lighter, I'll sell you fifty."

As she spoke, she bent down tremblingly, and took out a pack of cigarettes with an unclear brand and a low-quality lighter with a transparent plastic case from behind the counter.Passed them to Zhu Qi together, and looked at him eagerly.

This little thing actually sells for fifty, why not grab it!

Zhu Qi ground his teeth, turned his face, and looked at Jiang Banxia eagerly.

Although Jiang Banxia was ignorant of the world, she was not a fool. The situation was so clear at a glance that she was not as shameless as Zhu Qihou, so she took 50 yuan and handed it to the old woman.Zhu Qi held the lighter and the cigarette in his hands, and said patiently, "Can you hear me now?"

The old woman unfolded the banknotes and looked at the light. Then she smiled happily and put the money away happily: "Yes, yes. Her house is in the south of the village, and there is a big locust tree at the door. You go out and go south. You can go to her house!"

Zhu Qi and Jiang Banxia walked out of the paper-making shop, and saw at a glance that the paper figurine at the door was still standing there, and its facial features were still so blurred.Zhu Qi secretly heaved a sigh of relief.He was quite afraid of going out the door and finding that the paper doll had disappeared, but now it seemed that it was just a paper doll that couldn't move and looked a little scary.

Thinking in this way, Zhu Qi took out his mobile phone to confirm the position, glanced at the paper figurine from the corner of his eye, and suddenly realized one thing——

Before I entered the store, the paper figurines I saw were facing each other; why did the paper figurines still face each other when I left the store?

You can't think about it carefully, the more you think about it, the more afraid you become.Zhu Qiyong caught a glimpse of Jiang Banxia's expressionless face from the corner of his eye. He didn't seem to notice it, so he pretended not to see it, and only speeded up his pace silently.

After walking for a while, he whispered to Jiang Banxia: "The paper figurine just now... seems to have moved."

"I saw it too." Jiang Banxia turned her head and whispered to him, "Look, does it move like this?" As he spoke, Jiang Banxia's head twisted around his neck, and his neck was almost twisted into a twist. His swarthy eyes stared blankly at Zhu Qi, while his mouth was still opening and closing: "Really?"

"Ghost!!!" Zhu Qi yelled, and rushed forward.

"Jiang Banxia" stretched out his hand, his fingers were pale and transparent, and there was a strange smirk on the corner of his mouth: "Wait for me..."

Where is Jiang Banxia? It's clearly that paper figurine!

Zhu Qi didn't know when the Jiang Banxia beside him was replaced by someone, and he didn't know what Jiang Banxia was doing now.At this moment, there is only one thought in his mind: escape!

Although his speed was not as fast as Yuan Yue's, Zhu Qi was tall and long-legged, and ran with all his strength, leaving the paper figurine behind in a short while.In the dark, he didn't distinguish between east, west, north and south, and just ran towards the bright place.

Finally, after an unknown period of time, he mustered up the courage to look back, and there was nothing behind him.

Finally got rid of it.

Zhu Qi leaned on his knees and gasped for breath. The strenuous exercise made him dizzy and his heart was pounding.Slowly, he took a deep breath, only to feel that his back was chilly and drenched in cold sweat.

Fear gradually faded, and guilt and worry surfaced in my heart.Zhu Qi collected himself and took out the phone from his pocket.

no signal.

He gritted his teeth and stared at the screen for a while, finally gripped the phone tightly in his hand, and turned on the flashlight.

The light illuminated a short section of the road in front of him, and the darkness beyond the aperture became thicker, as if a light, pale face would emerge at any moment.

"Jiang Banxia!" Zhu Qi called out loudly.

In the darkness, there was no response, insects and birds were silent, and even the wind stopped.

This girl can't be so unlucky.Zhu Qi muttered to himself.His legs were still trembling, and his breathing had not calmed down, but he turned around and walked back step by step.

Since the two came together, he shouldn't have left alone.

Just now Zhu Qi ran around for a while, and he didn't know where he was.At this time, I walked back based on my feeling, but my eyes and eyes were completely unfamiliar.There didn't seem to be many people living in the village, and most of the houses were dark.Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he saw a white light ahead.

Finally back to the paper shop?

Zhu Qi quickened his pace, but before he got close, he saw a big tree at the door of this family.Under the shadow of the tree, there is a dilapidated wooden gate, and the cement on the wall is damaged, revealing the dark red bricks inside.

In the yard is a small two-story building that is continuously emitting lights.At the same time, everything became normal again, Zhu Qi seemed to return to the world from hell, and heard the singing of birds and insects, and the gentle rustling of the branches and leaves of the big trees.

Slightly relieved, Zhu Qi came to the door and knocked on the door.

After a while, the door opened with a "squeak".

A small figure was hiding inside the door, only showing a small head, looking at Zhu Qi timidly.

Zhu Qi lowered his head and saw that this was a little boy of four or five years old. He was born in a pink and jade-like shape, and his two black grape-like eyes were slightly narrowed. He was very cute.

"Little friend, is your adult there?" Zhu Qi hid his scarred half of his face in the darkness, trying to show an amiable smile, "I want to borrow your family's phone number."

The little boy pointed to his throat and shook his head.

This action seemed familiar, Zhu Qi was startled, thinking of another child.

The poor child who was imprisoned at the opposite door also made similar actions when he first met Zhu Qi.

Suddenly, Zhu Qi understood who the boy in front of him was, and also understood why Liu Juan raised the dumb boy at home instead of killing him right away—her own son was a deaf-mute.
