As we spoke, we were already at the door of the paper shop. According to Xiao Miao's description, paper horses were the kind of people that would never let go of things that were cheap.
That was why he was definitely going to the mutton restaurant. As expected, I looked through the crack of the door but didn't see the figure of the horse.
I pushed the door. The door was locked, so I didn't directly slam it. It would be too noisy, but it wouldn't be good if someone was alerted. I took out the dagger and began sharpening the lock. The dagger was very sharp, and the tongue lock was halfway down in no time.
Xiao Miao asked me puzzledly: "Why didn't you cut the door? The door is made of wood, and I think it's easier than an iron lock. "
I slapped my forehead. However, the door was about to be unlocked, so I will make the mistake.
As I grinded the meat, I asked Xiao Miao, "You said the horse is so bad, why didn't the people here eat it when they were eating meat?"
Xiao Miao said: "That's because the paper horse is too bad, so everyone would not dare to choose him. It might be a day or two later, but what if the horse decided to escape? Wasn't the person who chose him a disaster? A person like him dares to trick even the dead, what kind of wicked things does he not dare to do? "
I nodded in deep thought, then asked Xiao Miao: "Then who is the easiest person to choose?"
Xiao Miao said: "Those who are too fierce cannot be chosen because everyone is afraid. The slippery ones couldn't be chosen either, because they fawned over everyone. There were only those who were well-behaved, those who did not like to talk, and those who did not have many friends. Everyone thought they were the safest, so they picked them out. "
I sighed. "As expected, honest people die first." This small village is similar to a refining Gu, and the only ones left are the poison kings. "
As he was speaking, the door opened with a clatter.
I lightly pushed the door open and said to Xiao Miao: "It's done, come in."
The Inside the house was pitch black. After I entered, I casually lit up the oil lamp hanging on the wall.
After Xiao Miao entered, she casually took out a bag and quickly began to fill it with paper money. I was in a daze, as if we had been bank robbers and had just opened the door to the vault.
I called out to Xiao Miao, "What are you doing?"
Xiao Miao raised her head and said puzzledly: "Aren't I going to take the money out of the paper? Bribe the boss. "
I smacked my forehead and thought, "I really can't joke with honest people." I said to Xiao Miao: "I don't want the money on paper. Help me find if there's any foil on me.
Xiao Miao asked in puzzlement: "What do you want that for?"
I could only explain, "Aren't we supposed to pretend to be gods?"
Xiao Miao was suddenly enlightened: "This is a good idea. The gold foil is also shiny, who knows if you are really gold. "
The two of us rummaged through the Inside the house and soon found a roll of gold foil.
Xiao Miao said to me, "But there is one more thing that is difficult to do. Even if you have gold foil on you, your figure is different from a deity statue. He's too big."
I said, "Yeah, that statue has to be three meters tall unless I step on a stilts. "How about this, you help me find a stool here, and I'll get two legs off the stool."
Xiao Miao said skeptically: "A meter tall stilts, can you do it?"
Just as I was about to reply, there was a light pop. Inside the house's oil lamp had been extinguished, and we immediately sank into darkness.
I was shocked and quickly moved to the side. My body leaned against the wall and after ensuring that there was no danger to my back, I started to wildly wield my dagger and shouted, "Who is it?"
A few seconds later, I heard Xiao Miao's voice. "Did the wind blow out the lamp? We seem to be too nervous. "
I immediately rejected this conjecture: "The light was blown out, and I heard the sound. Let's be careful, this string needs to be stretched and must not be relaxed. "
Maybe because of my words, Xiao Miao became nervous. He leaned against the wall and looked around nervously. Then he whispered, "Is the blower in this room?"
I said, "I'd rather he was here."
It would be good for us if the blower stayed. At least we'd have a chance to catch him. If that person went to the mutton restaurant to report, we would be in danger.
I listened carefully, but I couldn't hear anything. At that moment, my eyes adjusted to the light. I blinked and tried to look.
Suddenly, a faintly discernible gust of wind blew towards my neck. This wind was so sudden that it had no foundation. I subconsciously shrunk my neck and a gust of wind blew past my scalp.
I realized something was wrong and waved my dagger in that direction. Swish! I heard a faint sound. The dagger must have hit something.
Then, I heard Xiao Miao anxiously yell, "Be careful, there's something here."
I immediately asked, "What is it?" I can't see anything. "
Xiao Miao said, "I can't see it either, but I can feel it."
I spat, "Aren't you a cat? Cats see things at night. "
Xiao Miao actually started cursing: "Damn it, I don't know what's going on either, I can't even see my fingers in front of me, even if cats can see things, they would at least light up."
I was stunned for a moment, puzzled and said, "You can't see your own fingers?" No, there's light here. I see a lot of things. "
I stumbled to the side of the table and stretched out my hand to touch it. Soon I found a box of matches, I lit one and shone it towards Xiao Miao.
I saw a little paper doll sitting on Xiao Miao's head. This doll had a weird smile on its face and reached out its two chubby little hands to cover Xiao Miao's eyes.
I cursed, "What the hell." Then, he extended his hand to pull the doll, but Xiao Miao's eyes could not see it, causing him to become extremely quick-witted, and he dodged it.
I shouted anxiously, "It's me."
Xiao Miao said: "It's dark, who knows if it's you. Don't come near me, lest you get hurt, eh? Can you see me? "
It's too hard to catch Xiao Miao, I thought, and with a flick of my finger, I flicked the match towards his head. It's good that the heavens are watching, this time it's actually so accurate, it actually landed on the paper doll's chest and started burning.
The paper doll was transformed into a fiery doll by the raging flames. Xiao Miao quickly felt that something was wrong with her head. She pulled with all her might on the paper doll in front of him and ruthlessly threw it on the ground.
Before the paper doll even landed on the ground, it turned into a pile of ash and completely scattered.
I heaved a sigh of relief and said to Xiao Miao: "You don't know, just now …"
Halfway through my speech, I suddenly saw Xiao Miao looking at me with a pale face, as if someone had used a Body Lock Technique on him.
I asked uneasily, "What's wrong with you? Are you alright? "
Xiao Miao opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but he seemed to be too nervous to complete the sentence.
I suddenly realized that Xiao Miao was not looking at me, but at my back.
My heart immediately sank. Xiao Miao had something on him, then did she have anything on me? I suddenly turned my head and saw a golden Buddha behind me. The owner of the mutton restaurant was standing next to the Buddha statue, looking at me with a smile.
I was almost scared out of my wits. I was afraid that I would run into the boss along the way. Now that I see him without any defenses, isn't that asking for human life?
I turned to run, but the statue grabbed my arm. His hand was so big that I couldn't move it after he grabbed my arm.
The statue looked down and kindly asked, "Where are you going?"
I struggled. I didn't know if I was nervous or scared, but my body felt numb and I couldn't muster up any strength.
The deity statue smiled and said, "My place is filled with incense, so why don't you stay and be a little boy that adds oil to the lamp?"
Then, with a flip of his palm, a razor appeared. It looked like it was going to shave me.
I shook my head to prevent him from hitting me. The statue was getting a little impatient as he coldly said, "Hair is left on the head, hair is left on the head, no hair is left on the head."
When I heard those words, I was stunned for a moment. Wasn't this slogan shouted when the troops were cleared?
I was surprised when the god's razor came down. At this time, I suddenly realized that the ten fingers of the Buddha statue were completely intact. On his razor, a piece of the tip was missing, as if something had cut it off.
A light flashed in my head, but before I could think about it, I blurted out, "No, you're not a statue. The divine statue's finger was snapped, and Xiao Miao broke one of it.
After I shouted, the statue froze. The golden light around his body quickly converged, and the black paper binding shop returned to its original appearance.
I gently struggled and easily escaped from the hands of the deity.
At this moment, the oil lamp on the wall lit up. I saw that the appearance of the mutton restaurant's boss beside the Buddha statue gradually changed, eventually turning into a person with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks.
Xiao Miao looked at him and said in shock: "Paper horse? "Are you here?"
I took a step back and thought, "So this guy is a paper horse."
The horse looked at Xiao Miao coldly and sized me up coldly. After a long while, he lightly said, "What are you two doing here? Stealing things from a paper shop is very rare. "
I didn't want to fight with a paper horse. There were too many people who would be alarmed by this, so I took out the money and said, "We're not here to steal. We're here to buy."
The horse took the money and looked at it for a moment. Then he said happily, "Use paper money to buy paper money? You actually thought of something. "
Only now did I realize that I was handing over a piece of Mint. But I have no real money in my pocket now.
The horse sat on the chair and looked at us. "If you can't explain what happened today, you won't be able to leave."
I don't know where he moved, but the two wooden doors slammed shut.
