In Jiang Che's line of sight, an ancient-looking house appeared in front of him. The house was overgrown with weeds and was about half the height of a person. It looked very desolate, as if no one had lived in it for a long time.
Following a bluestone path, it led to the door of the house.
What made Jiang Che stunned was…
There were two figures standing outside the door. Their cheeks were red and strangely bright. Their bodies were angular and they were clearly two paper figurines.
The sky had darkened. After the lights in the houses went out one by one, Jiang Che noticed something. There was at least moonlight and starlight outside, but ever since they crossed the bridge, the sky above the village seemed to be covered by a layer of black curtain. There was no light at all.
"What's that?" Jiang Che asked.
Chen Shijiao also seemed surprised. She thought for a moment and said,"When I was young, I saw my mother-in-law make paper figurines once. At that time, something strange seemed to have happened in the village. Uncle Erniu's mother disappeared after her death, and then three families lost their children.”
"That day, Grandma very seriously stuffed me into a wooden box and then tied two paper figurines at the door.”
"The next morning, the two paper figurines were torn apart by something.”
After Jiang Che heard this, he pondered for a moment." Call her your mother-in-law. Don't scare her."”
"Alright."
Chen Shijiao nodded and called out softly.
Footsteps sounded in the room.
Creak--
The door opened. An old lady with a wrinkled face opened the door and poked half of her head out. When she saw Chen Shijiao, her eyes flickered and she quickly said,"Quick, quick, come in!"
At this moment, only the house in the center of the village was still lit up.
If he waited any longer, all the lights would be completely extinguished.
The two of them walked in.
Jiang Che could see the old lady holding a pair of scissors in her hand under the dim light of the phone screen. Further down were large bamboo baskets filled with colorful paper, as well as paper figurines, paper lanterns, and paper houses.
"Girl, after so many years, you're finally willing to come back to see your mother-in-law.”The old lady seemed to be very happy. In the darkness, her face was full of smiles."Is this your boyfriend? Good! A tall and strong young man!"
"Are you guys tired? Quick, drink some water."
The old lady was extremely enthusiastic. She invited the two of them to sit down and kept nagging.
As for Jiang Che, his expression gradually turned strange.
Elderly people usually had some eye diseases. Even if they didn't have any, their night vision would be reduced to a very low level. However, this old lady was able to move freely in the dark. She was able to set up a stool and pour water without being affected at all.
Touching the water she poured, Jiang Che didn't dare to touch it.
Chen Shijiao seemed to have noticed that something was wrong. She kept talking to her mother-in-law, but her other hand was holding onto Jiang Che's arm.
"Yo, are you two tired?" The old lady laughed in the dark." If you're tired, go and rest. Let's go. You'll sleep in this room tonight. It's going to be windy soon. Go to sleep quickly. Otherwise, it'll be difficult to fall asleep with the wind blowing at night."
She brought the two of them into a room next door.
Then, he closed the door and left.
Jiang Che and Chen Shijiao sat on the bed.
The sound of paper cutting could be heard from outside.
"Has your mother-in-law's eyesight always been this good?”Jiang Che asked.
It had to be known that the central room outside was pitch-black, and cutting paper figures and other things needed to be very precise.
" I don't know either. Xiaoche, tell me, is my mother-in-law already…"
Chen Shijiao's voice was trembling.
"I only know that your mother-in-law's condition is very strange. Her heartbeat is normal, and it's a little like she was bewitched. It's similar to how you were before, but this state might have lasted for a long time. It's not something that can be solved with a simple Evil Repelling Talisman. If we forcefully interfere, I'm afraid she'll really be in danger.”
This was Jiang Che's judgment.
He didn't know much about the supernatural, but Jiang Che knew that the old lady's heartbeat was still there, but her behavior was obviously abnormal.
Chen Shijiao had once said that her mother-in-law had already sent her a letter, sternly warning her not to return to the village. But just now, when she saw her return, the old lady did not mention this at all. Instead, her face was full of excitement and praise.
Moreover, Jiang Che felt that…
The old lady's excited expression was somewhat familiar.
It was similar to…the appearance of the drowned ghosts at the village entrance when they saw Chen Shijiao?
At this moment.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew outside the house. An extremely dense and terrifying Yin Qi swept through the entire village.
Jiang Che's expression suddenly changed.
He pressed Chen Shijiao down and the two of them lay on the bed.
Because when the wind blew, he heard the sound of paper cutting outside the house suddenly stop.
With a creak.
The door to their room opened.
