Chapter 35: The Paper Man Lives

Jiang Huaibo told me that his father was an old monster. And his mother was originally an ordinary worker in the slaughterhouse.

He didn't say specifically why these two people were together, but thinking of Lao Baga's special identity and what he did, I still felt a little uncomfortable in my heart.

At that time in Chen Pigou, Lao Baga even wanted to spoil the women with children, which showed that he was a demon in the sex.

The main thing is that many years ago, he had already been hanged by Wei Wuying, and he was not a living person at all!

If Jiang Huaibo's mother was voluntary, how could she die on the ghost mountain?

Jiang Huaibo has lived in a ghost building since he remembered.

The ghost building is deserted and deserted during the day, but who knows that at night, it will be a completely different scene.

One night, Jiang Huaibo witnessed his mother and sister being brutally abused to death by several 'people' with 'donkey ears'.

The man he was supposed to call his father was watching from the sidelines.

Since then, Jiang Huaibo has been desperately convinced that his birth is destined to be a tragedy, and his final result will most likely follow in the footsteps of his mother and sister.

Because, in the ghost building, no one treats the three of them as human beings.

But Jiang Huaibo never thought that a strange thing that happened by chance would change his life.

In the winter of the year when he was eight years old, it was snowing outside, and Jiang Huaibo nested in the corner of the house, greedily flipping through a broken book that he didn't know where to find it.

He was illiterate, but he was curious about everything in the book.

Just as he was thirsty for knowledge, the door opened.

It was his so-called father who came in.

The first thing the man did when he entered the house was to snatch the book that he regarded as a treasure and tear it to pieces. Then he threw him a bundle of bamboo strips and a stack of newspapers, and told him to tie a paper figure.

Although Jiang Huaibo is young, he is already very proficient in paper ties.

Because, from time to time, the man will throw him some bamboo strips and newspapers (sometimes colored paper, that is, the kind used to tie wreaths) and let him tie the paper man.

Those paper figures are big and small, male and female. Jiang Huaibo didn't know what the paper figure was for, but once he heard the man scolding after he was drunk, it seemed that someone had told the man to do this, saying that he wanted to use the paper figure to bring someone back.

After the man threw the things to Jiang Huaibo, he went to drink by himself.

Jiang Huaibo didn't dare to delay, and immediately started 'work', because if he couldn't complete the task assigned by the man, all that was waiting for him was to be beaten.

By the time the paper figure was tied, it was already dark, and the man had already drunk to death.

Jiang Huaibo trembled and walked to the table, wanting to see what else to eat, but saw that the whole roast chicken had been gnawed clean by the man, and only one chicken butt remained.

Despite this, Jiang Huaibo was already very content.

He picked up the chicken butt and was about to put it in his mouth when suddenly there was a knock on the door outside.

Jiang Huaibo glanced at the man on the bed in fright, didn't care about eating, and hurriedly ran to open the door.

No matter who comes, as long as the man is woken up, he will not be able to escape a beating in the end.

The knock was on the door of an old beggar in shabby clothes.

Although Jiang Huaibo has never been out of the ghost building, he has not seen similar characters, after all, in that year, there were not a few people who really begged along the street because of hunger.

"Kid, can you give me something to stutter?" The old beggar asked weakly.

Jiang Huaibo shook his head, it's not that he doesn't want to give it, it's really that there is no other food in the house except for the chicken butt.

"Son, you can do it, I haven't eaten for two days, and I'm dying of hunger." The old beggar begged again.

Jiang Huaibo was still a child after all, seeing the old beggar trembling in the wind and snow, he couldn't bear it after all, gritted his teeth, and gave his 'dinner' to the other party with a red face.

The old beggar took the chicken butt and looked ecstatic, "I love chicken butt the most!" ”

Jiang Huaibo hurriedly waved his hand again and again, he was afraid of being beaten and in pain.

The old beggar glanced into the room, then at Jiang Huaibo, nodded thoughtfully, and turned away without saying a word.

After the old beggar left, Jiang Huaibo was cold and hungry, and he couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to gnaw the chicken bones that the man had gnawed again, and some of the chicken bones that could be bitten were simply swallowed.

After gnawing on the chicken bones, Jiang Huaibo, as usual, stared at the drunken man motionless with his eyes for a while, and finally gritted his teeth, walked to the corner, and lay down in the thatch.

He was so small compared to a man, and the only thing he could do was to sleep with hunger.

Because, when you fall asleep, you don't know that you're hungry.

And because, only in a dream, he can kill this man and those 'donkey ears' that only appear at night!

Just when Jiang Huaibo was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard a strange sound of 'Ku Bang' in a daze.

Jiang Huaibo woke up suddenly, don't be that paper man, right?

The last time the paper figure fell to the ground and broke, he couldn't get up for three days after being beaten.

Jiang Huaibo was anxious to take a look, but as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a person standing beside him!

It was dark in the room, and he couldn't see the appearance of this person clearly, so he only felt that this person was standing next to him, staring at him with his head down.

Jiang Huaibo gritted his teeth and grinned, trembling uncontrollably.

He was terrified, but he didn't dare to cry.

There were only two people in the room, and it must have been a man who had woken up from a wave of sleep, and was going mad with himself by drunkenness.

"Don't ...... Don't hit me...... I hurt ......," Jiang Huaibo finally couldn't help crying and begging quietly.

"Don't be afraid, kid, I won't hit you."

Hearing this voice, Jiang Huaibo was stunned for a moment, he was too familiar with a man's voice. Listening to the voice, this man was not the man he feared, but like...... Like the old beggar who came to beg in the evening!

As long as it wasn't that man, Jiang Huaibo wasn't so afraid.

He thought to himself, could it be that other strange 'people' in the building had run in besides the 'donkey ears'?

But when he sat up and saw the man's appearance, he almost fainted with fright.

The one standing next to him was not a living person at all, but the paper man who pierced himself!

How did the paper man get to his bed?

Who was talking to you just now?

Just when Jiang Huaibo was so frightened that his soul was not possessed, the voice just now actually sounded again:

"Son, don't make a sound. Get up, come with me, and we will never suffer here again. ”

This time, Jiang Huaibo heard it clearly, and it was the paper man in front of him who was talking to him!

Paper figures can speak, and when others encounter such a thing, most of them will be scared half to death.

But when Jiang Huaibo heard that it was a paper man who spoke, he was not so afraid.

Because he was already sure that the voice of the paper man was exactly the same as that of the old beggar!

However, Jiang Huaibo still shook his head at the paper figure.

It wasn't like he hadn't wanted to escape from the building before, but no matter where he ran, men could find him.

He knew that it was the 'donkey ears' who were helping the men. Wherever he fled, Donkey Ears found him.

There was another slight 'kuk' sound, and the paper figure in front of him actually tilted down, like a living person bent down, lowered his head, and looked at Jiang Huaibo.

The paper figure seemed to see through Jiang Huaibo's thoughts, and whispered:

"Don't be afraid, come with me, I'll take you to a place, you just have to do what I say, and no one here can find you!"
