Nightmare Attack

Chapter 1080 Corpse Painter

As soon as the name was uttered, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense, and several people stared at Mama Wu's face.

But Wu Ma seemed to be unfamiliar with this name, her brows were furrowed, and her forehead was covered with wrinkles. After a while, she shook her head, "I've never heard of it."

Lei Mingyu interjected impatiently, "Mother Wu, you should think about it again, this is very important."

But Wu Ma still shook her head stubbornly, and said in a positive tone: "I haven't heard of it, and I haven't heard of a family surnamed Lu among the friends who often walk around."

"Maybe it's not Master Wu's friend." After thinking about it, Jiang Cheng said, "It's a scholar who came to Beijing to take the exam. Do you have any impression?"

"Scholar..." Wu Ma's whole face was tangled, and it was obvious that she was thinking seriously.

Jiang Cheng reminded softly, "Probably during the time before Miss sacrificed, did a scholar come to the Wu family's mansion, or did any strange people come to the door?"

A few seconds later, Mama Wu's expression suddenly changed, and her body began to tremble. Everyone immediately knew there was a door.

Jiang Cheng didn't ask any further questions, and his first reaction was to wave his hands at the people behind him, signaling them to keep their mouths shut if they couldn't help.

"You said that, but I remembered something." Wu Ma hesitated and said, "Some time before Miss sacrificed to the river god, there was indeed a young man who came to the Wu family's mansion."

"But he was not invited, but...he was picked up." Wu Ma recalled.

"What do you say when you get picked up?" Jiang Cheng was very anxious, but his tone gave off a slow and comfortable rhythm.

"This has nothing to do with Miss. This young man was picked up by Li Dali, who was chopping firewood in the backyard. Oh, Li Dali is responsible for providing firewood for the house. He goes up the mountain to cut firewood every day."

"As a result, he didn't bring firewood back that day, but carried a young man on his back, saying that he picked it up in the back mountain. At that time, the young man had many injuries and was still in a coma."

"According to Li Dali's speculation, this person should have entered the back mountain by mistake. As a result, the road on the mountain was slippery in the past few days, and he stumbled for a while and rolled down. That's why he became like this."

"It should be the young man's life. My master is kind-hearted. Those few days happened to coincide with the fasting day, so he invited the doctor to come over and treat him specially. After taking a few doses of medicine, the man actually woke up."

"After resting for a few days, I can go down to the ground."

"The young man thanked the master a thousand times, saying that he was a candidate who came to Beijing to rush for the exam. Because he was not familiar with the local terrain, he strayed into the back mountain. Open your eyes, you are already in the Wu residence."

"What happened next?" Seeing that Mama Wu had stopped talking, Jiang Cheng continued to ask.

"Later... I don't know much about what happened afterwards." Wu Ma recalled, "I only knew that he was recovering from his illness and left in a hurry, saying that he must not delay the exam."

"As a result, not long after we went out, there was heavy rain, and the old illness broke out on the way, and we passed out by the side of the road. This time... this time, it was Miss Li and his party who came back. They found him on the road and picked him up again."

Speaking of this, everyone heard the problem. This scholar was found twice and brought back to the Wu family mansion, and he was still in a coma. This is very lucky.

After a moment of contemplation, Jiang Cheng seemed to have grasped the point, but before he could speak, an old and dull voice suddenly sounded, and it was Yu Chengmu who came over, "This scholar's body is so weak, isn't it... as long as it rains, he will Not going out?"

Wu Ma recalled for a moment, and answered uncertainly: "I am in the backyard. I don't have much contact with this young man, but I heard someone said that this person is very weak, and he seems to be particularly afraid of damp and cold. For the few steps to the front yard, you must borrow an umbrella from the concierge in advance, so as not to get wet."

As soon as these words were uttered, Yu Chengmu narrowed his eyes, and Jiang Cheng also understood that this young man refused to get a little rainwater, not because he was weak, but because paper could not get wet, after all, his physical body was A paper man!
It was the paper figurine Du Moyu saw at the paper maker's house!

Slowly, some seemingly clueless clues were gradually connected. This realistic paper figurine must have been made by a paper maker. To make the paper figurine come alive, the paper maker alone is definitely not enough. Other Yin Xing masters help.

Now the question arises, what are so many sinister characters gathering in this little-known mountain village for?
Tucai can be directly ruled out. With such a superb ability, it is not too easy to get some gold, silver and jewelry.

Revenge?

Jiang Cheng didn't feel like it either, and there was no need to make it so complicated.

Temporarily having no clue, Jiang Cheng held back his thoughts, and things will always be cleared up, and it won't be too long.

I asked some more questions, but Mama Wu didn't know much about it. The group thanked them and planned to leave. The old matter was brought up again, and Mama Wu lost control of her emotions for a while. She was sold into the Wu family when she was in the middle of the road. Because her body was weak since she was a child, she couldn't do heavy work. It was the young lady who pitied her, so she picked up a light job.

"Ms. Wu's family is a very good person. We will definitely investigate the truth of the matter." Before leaving, the fat man grabbed Mama Wu's hand, as a promise to her.

First, they went back to the village's meeting hall. Jia Jinliang's injuries had already been taken care of. When they entered the door, Jia Jinliang seemed to be okay, sitting there drinking tea.

Seeing everyone approaching, Jia Jinliang stood up and said politely, "Thank you for your hard work."

"How's Boss Jia's injury?" Chen Hao asked with concern.

Jia Jinliang lifted up the broken arm that had been re-bandaged, and said with a smile, "It's nothing serious. Brother Chen Hao, please worry about it. Did you find anything this time?"

The village head said that he was going to deal with the affairs of Yizhuang, so he left first. A group of people took Jia Jinliang and walked slowly along the dirt road in the village, chatting while walking.

Perhaps it was because he knew about Jiang Cheng and saw about the paper figurine, but this time Yu Chengmu didn't hide it, and took the initiative to reveal the matter.

"It's actually like this." Chen Hao touched his chin and agreed.

However, judging from his indifferent expression, it was obvious that he had thought of it a long time ago. The fat man swallowed his saliva, and thought that these people would have 200 minds. left.

"It seems that this time things are more difficult than we expected at the beginning." Yu Chengmu said in a deep voice, "If you want to make that paper doll move and talk like a living person, you are definitely not a paper maker. What can be done by one person, there must be other Yinxing involved, such as the corpse painter who draws the soul first."
