The two paper men were directly blown away by the wind. Multicolored paper was everywhere.

I felt all the hair on my body standing up. The paper man's facial features were originally very lifelike. At this moment, it had a strange smile on its face, as though it was staring at the crowd …

This scene had already awoken me from my frenzy. The villagers who were charging towards me didn't dare to move and could only retreat slowly.

Even though he was glaring at me with eyes filled with unwillingness, at this moment, he didn't dare make any big movements.

"Alright alright, alright. Everyone's anger has disappeared. Let's all go.

Didn't this girl say that she would make it up to everyone when she had enough money?

We'll discuss this matter slowly and think about it later. "

The village chief was very tactful. He knew that everyone was in fear, so he let them leave for the time being.

However, he also knew that fear was fear. It was impossible for these people to just let it go, so he gave them a long plan.

Considering the situation, these words meant that the matter wasn't over yet, but it gave me some time to think it over.

When the villagers saw the strange scene just now, they had wanted to leave. However, their aggressive attitude just now had caused them to lose some face.

Thus, the Village Chief gave them face and left one after another.

At this moment, I noticed that the Village Head was sweating profusely. It seemed that the scene from before had scared him quite badly.

Watching the villagers leave, he chuckled.

"Alright Xiao Die, there's nothing else for the moment, pack up here, I'll be leaving first."

The last time I went to look for my foster father's corpse, I knew that the Village Head was a timid person.

After sending the village chief away, I looked at Lingling, who was sobbing in the courtyard and looking completely shaken.

I hugged Lingling and caressed her head as I said:

"Lingling be good, do not be afraid, they have all left."

Lingling looked at her two small hands that were still bleeding. She suddenly stopped crying and became very calm:

"Big sister, I'm not afraid, but …" I hate them. "

This sudden change made my heart clench, I seemed to have seen something that shouldn't exist at this age in Lingling's eyes.

I can feel the child's heart... It was as if a seed of hatred had been planted and was slowly taking root.

"Lingling, at your age, you can't have too much hatred.

Otherwise, you'll be ugly in the future, you know? "

I touched Lingling's head and smiled. I had already forgotten how long I had been laughing like this.

"Then the person who did the wrong thing will be punished, right?"

Lingling stared at me and asked seriously.

"Yes, of course."

"If no one punishes them, big sister will help punish them."

Lingling said as she wiped the tears at the corner of her eyes and tidied up the messy hair.

Actually, I feel a little guilty towards Lingling. I left her by my side and didn't protect her well.

Even though he had injured her and knew he was powerless, he still had to be brave. Even though the starting point was good, but was it fair for Lingling?

After helping Lingling wipe the wound on her hand, I couldn't say a single word. After all, she wasn't someone who was good at expressing herself, even in the face of an innocent little girl like her, I didn't know how to say those words.

It was currently 10 in the morning. I simply tidied up the courtyard.

The paper man had planned to burn it on the night of the first seven, but now the paper man was broken too, and the paper was blown away.

I had no choice but to let go of the burning paper man. I had never heard of any big taboo about this paper man.

When I walked out of the courtyard, my heart trembled again, because at this moment, outside of the courtyard, at the entrance, there was a pile of round square hole money.

It was the underworld money given to the dead!

Just now, he really did feel that the wind was very evil, but he didn't expect that not only did it blow the two paper men to pieces, it even blew over a large pile of underworld money.

After lunch, I went out to take care of some farm work. Unknowingly, it was already evening.

Although there were many accidents at home, life still had to continue and could not be stopped. The villagers still relied on farming to survive. No matter what, the heaven and earth could not be abandoned.

When my adoptive father was alive, he paid special attention to my field and would basically go there every day.

Actually, he didn't need to see it every day, but his adoptive father almost never pulled it off.

Now that he thought about it, his adoptive father's life was actually very boring. Drinking, mourning, staying at home, sleeping, going to the fields, going to Aunt Zhang's house, repeating these things.

Maybe it was because it was too boring, so when he had nothing to do, he started to think about some weird things, and he took it as a pleasure to abuse me.

The sky wasn't completely dark yet, so with Lingling's help, I closed the window again.

I've worked with my adoptive father since I was a kid, and I've done most of the work of building windows and walls.

It was a good thing that he had spare glass at home. Otherwise, he would have been frozen by the cold tonight.

The sky was still dark. Even though I genuinely liked Lingling as my little sister, I, who rarely communicated with others, still spoke little to no one when facing Lingling.

Lingling, on the other hand, was quite open-minded. She was at the age where she was filled with curiosity towards everything and had already forgotten the grievances during the day.

To be able to be so sensible at the age of ten meant that he had either received a relatively good education or had suffered a lot from a minor experience.

Thinking about it carefully, it was very likely to be the latter …

When I was facing Lingling, I always felt that we were in the same boat, as if I could see my own shadow of the past within her. It was precisely because of this that I wanted to make her happy even more.

Let her feel the happiness I have never felt before.

When I made the bed at night, Lingling dragged me:

"Sister, can we not sleep here?"

I know that Lingling is afraid of what happened last night. That terrifying scene, even if it was me, I still have some lingering fear.

There were quite a few rooms in my house, but there were only two large kang, one of which I could sleep on, and the other of which my foster father slept in.

All that was left were granary stores and things, and the environment was poor.

The people who helped with the white matter that day came. Other than those who were squeezed on the brick bed, there were also people who slept on the floor.

Father's room was darker, with no windows and no view of the night before.

It was also because of this that the room did not receive sunlight all year round, giving people a gloomy feeling.

I often suspect that my adoptive father might have stayed too long in such an environment, which was why he had such a gloomy personality and gave off a gloomy and frightening feeling.

If I were the only one, I would rather stare at the ghostly figure in the window than approach the room where my foster father lived. There were shadows in my heart, and some heavy shackles.

"Go to the next room and sleep."

I wanted to bring Lingling out, but we don't have any money left. Although the village chief said that I could move in, she gave me a weird feeling.

In order not to scare Lingling, I could only sleep with Lingling in her room.

Opening the door of the adoptive father's room, the smell of alcohol seemed to have not dispersed. Just as I was about to make the bed, Lingling exclaimed and shouted:

"Elder sister, quickly look!"

The moment Lingling's words fell, I hastily looked towards the direction of her words. It was the direction of the door to my foster father's room, and without turning on the light, I could see two round objects by the door …

Those two round things, it seems... Two heads!

Looking at these two things, my scalp tingled with numbness. If not for Lingling, I would have definitely shouted out loud.

My first reaction was to switch on the light. Under the light, I was able to clearly see the two so-called heads. I heaved a sigh of relief, but very quickly … His heart skipped a beat. These two round things … It was the heads of the two paper men during the day …

I clearly already threw these two things away … How to... Why would he appear here?

My breathing hastened, and at this moment, the sound of crashing could be heard from the outside …
