Xiao Miao and I didn't say anything. It's not that the two of us didn't want to answer, it's just that we didn't know how to answer.
Xiao Miao gave me a meaningful glance, then spread out her hands. I knew what he meant. He probably wanted to say that she wasn't very good at lying. It was up to me.
But I'm not good at it either. To come up with such a lie in such a short amount of time, do you take me as the Mr. Zhao?
The horse saw us standing there in a daze and didn't say anything. It was as if there was a fire going on. If you don't tell me, I'll go inform the mutton seller right away. "
I had to bite the bullet and say, "What can we do with you? Just to get some paper money. As for why he wanted to take the paper money? To be honest, I just died not too long ago. Money is quite attractive to me.
The horse sneered. "You're lying."
I spread out my hands and gave him a disdainful look. In fact, I really can't make it up.
The horse carried his hands behind his back and continued to walk in circles in the Inside the house, while analyzing the situation, "When the two of you saw me, you were so scared that you almost peed your pants. This shows that you guys are very afraid of the mutton sellers, you must have offended him."
"Also, when you two came in, you wanted to find the gold foil by name, and then I heard that you were going to pretend to be some sort of statue."
The horse folded his arms across his chest and said, "I heard that there is a buddhist hall in the family that sells mutton, and there is a buddhist statue inside. This is the statue you want to impersonate, right? Are you planning on pretending to be Buddha to sell mutton? Otherwise, why would you be so afraid of him? "
Xiao Miao and I looked at each other. I felt that this horse wasn't as easy to take advantage of as him. In a short period of time, he had thoroughly analyzed our motives.
I knew it was useless to cover it up, and he wouldn't believe me even if I lied, so I changed my angle and said to the horse, "You said it was a mutton seller. He seemed to be quite hostile towards the mutton restaurant's boss. What, you don't like him? "
The horse sneered and said, "I don't think he's pleasing to the eye, so you don't have to worry about him. If you two explain the purpose of your visit, I might spare you once. Otherwise, I will kill you both. This is my territory, if I want to kill you, you all will definitely not be able to escape. "
When I thought back to what happened just now, I felt that this paper horse house was indeed filled with evilness. Xiao Miao and I didn't have to be afraid of him when we were outside, but here, we might really die foolishly.
"That's right," I said to the horse. "We disguised ourselves as deities to deceive the boss of the mutton restaurant."
The horse came closer and asked with interest, "Then what do you plan to do after tricking the mutton restaurant's boss? Do you want to kill him? "
I hesitated a little. My mind was working rapidly to analyze the pros and cons of the current situation. If the paper horse belongs to the mutton restaurant Boss, he is testing us. We've admitted to lying to our boss, even if we deny killing him. The paper horses still wouldn't let us go.
If the paper horse was not the boss's man, it was the boss's sworn enemy. Then if we admit to killing the boss, will he help us?
Thinking of this, I nodded my head in acknowledgement. "That's right. We are going to kill him."
The horse chuckled, obviously very happy. I was relieved. I knew we'd made the right bet. At the same time, I felt a little regretful: The boss's rule in this small village seemed to be as simple as it sounded, but in reality, there was a surge of undercurrents.
Xiao Miao tried to go against him from behind her back, and the owner of the paper clip shop wanted to take this opportunity to take his life. Is there anyone else who wants to kill the boss?
Unfortunately, I don't have much time left, so I can't carefully screen and contact other people.
Xiao Miao could no longer hold it in and asked straightforwardly: "Do you want to help us kill the boss?"
"I'm made of paper," said the horse. "Armor, swords, guns, but I can't kill."
Xiao Miao was a little discouraged.
The horse continued, "You were going to pretend to be gods? That's not simple, your figures are too far off from the deity statue, no matter how you dress them, they don't resemble each other at all. You might as well use me as a paper man. It's enough to pretend that it's real. "
I looked at the statue next to the horse and saw that it was made of paper.
The paper horse said proudly, "This paper man took three years of my effort. You can put a wisp of your soul into the paper man. When that happens, you'll be able to manipulate this paper man. You can make him walk, you can make him talk. Furthermore, if the boss finds out that you are a fake, it doesn't matter if he destroys the paper man. After all, it's just a paper man, so your real body will not be affected. "
I asked the horse, "But I have a wisp of my soul inside the paper man. "In that case, what will happen to me?"
The horse said, "That depends on how the boss deals with this wisp of your soul. If he showed mercy and released this wisp of soul, you would be saved. If he steels his heart and lets this wisp of soul dissipate, you will be severely injured. If he collects your soul and puts it on the lamp to roast, you'll only be able to endure day after day of pain. "
When I heard that, my scalp tingled. I couldn't help but say, "This is quite dangerous."
"At least it's more reliable than your stupid plan," said the horse, squinting.
I thought for a moment and felt that what the paper horse said was correct. I agreed. "Alright, then we'll borrow your paper man."
Xiao Miao curiously asked the horse, "What enmity do you have with the boss? I've never heard of it. "
The horse said, "I have no enmity with him. However … We are all wicked people, why should we have to be human with our tails between our legs if he continues to do evil after we get here? I can see that the two of you who killed the mutton were not trying to rebel, but because of a personal grudge. When the time comes and you guys have killed someone and run away, it will be my turn to be in charge here. "
I thought about it and felt that with the paper horse's heart and vicious reputation, it should be able to suppress the villagers. Maybe after the death of the boss, this place would really belong to him.
Following the directions of the horse, I bit the tip of my finger and pointed a red dot at the Buddha's heart.
At this moment, I suddenly felt my body violently shake for a moment. My head felt dizzy, and I was unable to differentiate between north, south, east and west. I closed my eyes and reached for my forehead.
But then I heard a crash. I looked down and saw that I was wearing a set of paper clothes. I was already inside the idol.
I turned my head to look and found that my soul was standing blankly at the side, as if it had lost its consciousness.
The horse said to me proudly, "How is it?"
I nodded. "Very good."
The horse said, "Let your soul stay here. This place is quite safe. "
I smiled. "I appreciate your goodwill." Xiao Miao, bring my soul with you.
Xiao Miao promised as she picked up my soul and turned to leave.
When we reached the entrance, Xiao Miao suddenly turned her head and asked the horse curiously: "Boss Ma, I feel that you're a bit abnormal today. Why didn't someone like you go and take advantage of me today?"
The paper horse looked confused, "Leading meat? "What meat collar?"
Xiao Miao asked curiously: "No one informed you?"
The horse said, "No, it's been a long time since someone has been in contact with me. You didn't see the iron lock on my door, so I tried my best to lock it. By the way, what happened? "What meat collar?"
I told the horse, "It's nothing much. mutton restaurant's boss has pardoned the world and decided to share the meat with everyone. People who see it have a share. "
Perhaps it was the word "general amnesty" that stung the mind of the rebel, the paper horse, as he spat and cursed, "Does he even have meat to split? It was all the fucking meat of an unlucky bastard. I would admire him if he ever shared his own flesh. "
Xiao Miao asked curiously: "Aren't you going to take one?"
The horse said, "I don't want to. I feel disgusted eating meat that has been given to me by others." Then he turned and clanged the door shut.
Xiao Miao and I headed in the direction of the mutton restaurant. Xiao Miao asked me: "Why didn't you leave your soul in the paper shop? I think it's quite safe there. "
I shook my head. "It's not safe there. Paperhorses are not simple people. Everything was fine. Why did he prepare a Buddha statue made of paper? And it's exactly the same as the one in the buddhist hall, don't you think that's too much of a coincidence? "
Xiao Miao nodded, and said: "Listening to you, there really seems to be a problem. Since that's the case, why did you still use his paper to tie it alive?"
I sighed and helplessly said, "I don't want to use it either, but we really don't have time. Half an hour has passed, right? "
Xiao Miao nodded.
The boss had given us three-quarters of an hour, and there was only a quarter of an hour left. Within fifteen minutes, we have to save Little Tang Wei, otherwise she will be late.
It's a good thing the village is small. We'll be there in two or three minutes.
The street was very quiet. I could hear the sound of gold foil as I walked. When we get closer to the mutton restaurant, I'm afraid that I will have to stop and carefully move over. I can't leave in such a hurry, otherwise, the boss would be able to tell that something is amiss with a single glance.
Very quickly, I saw the mutton restaurant. Instead of continuing down the road, we ducked into the alley. We twisted and turned in the alley, getting closer and closer to the mutton restaurant.
Using the cover of the night, we arrived at a deep alley that was only a wall away from the mutton restaurant.
I said to Xiao Miao, "Later on, I will call out and lure the boss over, so you should hide somewhere and not move. I will tell him all that I can, and I will do my best to frighten him by saying what I have heard. I will leave him in a state of panic, and when he is at a loss, you will find an opportunity to sneak in an attack on him. Don't kill him, just knock him out. "
Xiao Miao said: "Don't worry, that's simple. As long as the deity statue isn't by his side protecting him, I can definitely deal with him. "
I suddenly remembered the statue in the temple. The last time it suddenly came back to life, it directly went through the wall and entered inside. It almost killed me and Little Tang Wei, and when I think about it now, there's still lingering fear in my heart.
Suddenly, I felt an indescribable unease in my heart. I had the nagging feeling that today's trip wouldn't go smoothly.
