Showdown: Hanba is hiding in my house

Chapter 22

A few days later, Shen Lang was making paper figurines in the backyard of the shop. He carefully cut the rice paper and covered it on the bamboo strips.

The bamboo strips had been fixed into a human shape long ago, and now he is a bearer of a sedan chair, wearing a Tang suit, exactly the way he would walk to lift the sedan chair.

Shen Lang has studied art, so the paper figurines he made are very realistic. If he uses silicone skin as the raw material, he is confident that he can make a paper figurine that is exactly like a living person.

It's a pity that the silicone skin can't be used as the material of the paper figurine, because it is poisonous to burn.

The paper figurines were tied up one by one, standing in a row, leaning against the corner of the wall.

Shen Lang looked at the time, it was already one o'clock in the middle of the night, and now his time has also been turned upside down, rest at night, get up in the morning, and then stay up late and turn back when it's time to work.

However, just as he was about to go to rest, he found that the paper man behind him was missing one for no reason.

This made his brows wrinkled again, and he thought that this was not a good omen.

The courtyard has a skylight, and you can see the stars and the moon when you look up, so the wind from outside can reach the courtyard.

Tuk Tuk Tuk…

There was a knock on the door from outside, Shen Langxin said that it was late at night, and the store was closed, who would come back at this time?
He immediately went outside and opened the door, but found a big mouse outside, with a red envelope hanging from its mouth, with a word written on it.

"殙".

Opened it again, and found that it was an invitation card, a wedding was going to be held in a certain place three days later.

Seeing this big mouse, Shen Lang also knew the origin of this thing, this is the special messenger of the mouse woman.

The mouse didn't leave, but looked at Shen Lang. Shen Lang also knew what he meant, and immediately took out a few peanuts from the cabinet, and stretched out his hand over.

It was strange to say, because the big mouse actually stuffed the peanut into its mouth, and then ran away.

This is asking for a tip.

When Shen Lang closed the door to rest, the door rang again.

He was a little impatient: "Big mouse, isn't there enough peanuts? Are you going to eat meat?"

However, what appeared was not the big mouse, but a bloodless face. This was a woman with a rather delicate appearance, but her eyes were extremely fierce.

Shen Lang glanced at her legs, and found that under the light of the room, she was no shadow, and immediately understood the identity of this person.

Or can't be called human.

"Daoist, can I ask you to help me with one thing?" the woman said out of her mouth.

In fact, the soul can take the initiative to appear in front of people, as long as the other party has enough "inspiration".

Shen Lang waved his hand, he was not afraid, he said: "If you have any grievances, go to Chenghuang, I am open for business."

Shen Lang didn't want to care about some things about "that world". After all, once before, his bodhisattva heart overflowed and he almost died.

The things about "that world" are [-]% false and [-]% true, so you can't believe them all.

For example, the children next to the reservoir last time, in fact, were water ghosts looking for substitutes, they would turn into children, and then lied that their younger siblings or toys fell down.

Let good people help.

So the kind-hearted man was tricked, the water ghost himself was reborn, and the kind-hearted man was imprisoned in that piece of water instead of him.

The things involved are complicated and dangerous, and it is better for ordinary people not to touch them.

The woman suddenly knelt down, and she said: "No, the City God can't take care of it, only you can take care of things..."

"Only me?" Shen Lang was surprised.

"Can you take me home? The place I'm staying in is so dark and cold... There are so many lonely souls around who want to bully me, Daoist..."

Looking at the woman's pitiful appearance, Shen Lang said, "Where is your body?"

"exist……"

The woman was about to speak, when suddenly she screamed, as if she had been discovered by something, and then her body began to shrink rapidly, and finally turned into a fake bride made of paper.

Shen Lang frowned, wondering if there was a connection with the mouse woman?
However, there are tens of thousands of wronged souls in the world, and it is impossible for Shen Lang to help save them all, and this path also has its own rules, for example, each profession has its own field, and exceeding the thunder pool is regarded as murder for money.

Because there is an old saying in it: "Seizing someone's job is like killing someone for money".

Shen Lang didn't intend to tell Mai Meng the news, after all, before she entered the industry, she focused on studying now, and as for these things, she would leave it to professional people.

……

As night fell quietly, Shen Lang changed into an outfit and came to a secluded village with Mai Meng.

Although it was evening, there were still many people in the village.

This is a relatively backward village, and there are many thatched houses around.

Pieces and pieces are all the style of 20 years ago.

The crooked telegraph poles were buzzing with sparks, and a few crows were cheering on the branches, their voices were unpleasant, even harsh.

From time to time, there will be a few old people and women passing by in the village, but their eyes are very strange, looking at the two of them.

"Is it here?" Mai Meng said, she felt a little uneasy, because the village was too decayed, and at first glance, it was almost lifeless.

The villages near Old Zouyizhuang were sparsely populated before, but this village is even more excessive and lifeless, just like a ghost village in a movie.

From time to time, a few barren mounds appeared on the road, with or without tombstones, cement ones, earth mounds, whatever.

"It's here, I didn't expect it to be like this." Shen Lang said.

"listen!"

Mai Meng pricked up her ears, and Li Huguo also heard the sound of suona in the distance, which sounded quite festive.

So the two followed the voice and walked towards the distance. After seven or eight bends, they came to a half-hillside.

And here, there is a dilapidated house covered with red silk and satin.

In the yard, there is another person Shen Lang is familiar with, the mouse woman.

She dressed up specially today, wearing a pearl flower on her head, and wearing very festive clothes, a bit like a matchmaker in a TV drama, if you look at it from the current point of view, it is still a bit funny.

But if this dress was placed a few decades ago, it would have been quite fashionable.

The mouse mother saw Shen Lang and the two of them, she took a small handkerchief, walked over in small steps, and said warmly: "Here we come, I have been waiting for a while!"

"Mother-in-law, are you leaving?" Shen Lang said.

"Follow the rules." The mouse woman greeted a young man inside, and he brought a bunch of firecrackers with a sullen face.

Crackling, the firecrackers exploded at the door, causing green smoke to rise everywhere, and it was very lively.

"Today is the day to welcome the bride? Aren't we here to have fun?" The innocent Mai Meng still looked around expectantly, hoping to see the bride being happy.
