Well of Mystery

Collecting paper from different origins, filling it with spells, and stretching bamboo bones to make paper figurines—these are the annual "recruitment ceremony" of Huaiguxuan Taobao Store.

The advantage of these paper figurine customer service is that they don’t need any wages, don’t need board and lodging, they don’t think about job hopping, they don’t want to take vacations with pay raises, and most importantly, they don’t have emotions and don’t contradict customers.

A pillar of fragrance in the morning and evening, and a mantra in Shuo Wang, after which the paper figurine can work with peace of mind.The reason for choosing different types of paper is that such paper figurines understand different local customs and dialects, making it easier to handle customer service work.

"We also have customer service made of Japanese paper and Korean paper." Le Yaochun was quite proud.

However, there are always pros and cons to everything.The biggest problem with paper-made customer service is that it is easy to get wet, and once the charm gets wet, it will lose its effect.Therefore, during the rainy season that begins in early June every year, Huaiguxuan Taobao store will temporarily close, burn the damp customer service, and replace it with a group of new employees.

"If the old customer service is more popular with customers, we will put the ashes left over in the bag into the body of the new paper doll, so that the new customer service will also have the memory of the old customer service."

Having said this, Le Yaochun paused.

"If this goes on all the way, if the paper figurines can always get good reviews, they will be able to continue their lives until they have their own emotions, and they will leave the Taobao store."

Bai Xiuqi was speechless after hearing this: "Is there really a paper figurine who has cultivated to become a master?"

"Not yet, but I guess it will be soon."

They chatted up and down like this for a while, and Jiang Chenglu, who did not know where to find out, also came up from downstairs.It turned out that not only the Xuanjing Apartment, but also the nearby Jiulihuai Village was closed, and it cannot be ruled out that it was a retaliatory act by the developer.

"By the way..." Bai Xiuqi remembered that Jiulihuai was still involved in the demolition of the house: "Dingli is Li Kun's father's company, I'll call that kid right now."

"What are you playing?" Jiang Chenglu pressed his wrist: "Isn't he recording a program?"

"..."

Bai Xiuqi was at a loss now, and thought to himself, let's just stop watching this brat on TV, and go back to the house to sleep.

Of course Jiang Chenglu followed behind him, locked the door as soon as he entered, took out newspapers and began to paste the windows.

Bai Xiuqi turned her head and looked pale with fright: "What are you doing?!"

Jiang Chenglu pretended to be harmless on purpose: "There is no electricity on a beautiful day, why don't we do some exercise?"

"No! That's not exercise. It's torture!"

Bai Xiuqi really felt the fear, the feeling of piling in his body was creepy, it was like licking cherry sauce in the glass slag, no matter how sweet the cherry sauce was, he didn't want to try it a second time.

"Don't be like this, the first time is raw, the second time is familiar."

Jiang Chenglu obviously didn't want to give up, he quickly pasted up the window paper and walked towards Bai Xiuqi.

Bai Xiuqi backed away step by step, but he had no choice but to do a dojo in the screw shell, and within a few steps, his calf touched the bed.He suddenly had an idea.Simply pull up the broken door panel.Pillows and quilts were left on the pile of books.

This extreme move only shocked Jiang Chenglu for a second.He quickly made a big move to match it - he lifted the table up and put it on the sink and cooking table.

"Maybe we should try sleeping on the floor."

He pointed to a small open space in front of his feet: "I guarantee that the feeling this time will be dozens of times better than the one on the table."

"It used to be minus ten, but now it's minus one hundred?"

Bai Xiuqi held the bed board in his hand and didn't want to put it down yet.In fact, he felt that it was a bit like a shield, and hoped it would help.

"..."

Seeing that he was resolute and didn't sell any flaws, Jiang Chenglu suddenly counterattacked and turned to defense, he just squatted on the floor and muttered to himself: "...Am I really that bad?"

Bai Xiuqi was taken aback for a moment, but as soon as his heart softened a little, he immediately realized that this was Jiang Chenglu's little trick, and it would be bad luck if he was really soft.

Seeing that Bai Xiuqi didn't take the bait, Jiang Chenglu lowered his head lower and lower.In the end, he just sat down on the ground, and then lay down on his side.

... This guy is really dedicated to acting, so he is going to sleep like this, right? !

Although it is not sure whether Jiang Chenglu's physique will catch a cold, it is obviously not good for the owner to lie on the cold ground overnight.

Thinking of this, Bai Xiuqi could only put down the door panel temporarily, and pushed Jiang Chenglu's shoulder dumbfoundingly: "Hey! What a man you are. Why are you still pretending to die here?"

"Where am I pretending to be dead?" Jiang Chenglu replied sullenly: "Have you ever heard of a parrot that will keep pulling its hairs out once it is ignored by others, until it dies? In fact, my original form is that kind of parrot.”

"Nonsense." Bai Xiuqi's palm turned into a slap: "You only have one mouth, which looks like a parrot. How could I fall in love with such a strange creature like you?!"

"Hey...resign yourself to your fate." Jiang Chenglu suddenly pressed Bai Xiuqi's hand with his backhand, clasped his wrist and pulled it in front of him: "You not only fell in love with me, but also fell in love with me for several lifetimes, this is the so-called Nie Yuan."

As he spoke, he pressed a kiss on Bai Xiuqi's wrist, and then traced back up against the artery, following Bai Xiuqi's ever-increasing heartbeat.

"You're tempted."

His lips were pressed against Bai Xiuqi's arm, and the vibration of his voice brought a tingling numbness to his skin: "I've already begged you like this, and you really have the heart to refuse? This is cold violence..."

"But it really hurts." Bai Xiuqi decided to grit his teeth: "Either you are down there, whoever hurts will know."

"..."

Now it was Jiang Chenglu's turn to be tangled: "It doesn't matter who goes up and who goes down, but think about it, I still see so many monsters and ghosts, what if I can't get down tomorrow and something happens in the yard? At that time, when the demons dance wildly and the world ends, it will be too late for you to regret it."

"cut!"

Bai Xiuqi almost admired Jiang Chenglu's troublesome skills: "Then practice your childish skills to protect the earth!"

"It's too late! Didn't you abolish my peerless magical skills?" At this point, Jiang Chenglu yanked Bai Xiuqi's wrist and forced him to fall beside him. Whispering in his ear: "Hero, you must be responsible to me..."

"Rogue!"

Bai Xiuqi cursed back in a low voice, but the corners of her mouth were raised, and she actively met another mouth that was also smiling.

After that day, they still didn't make it to the end.Just released a few times with the help of each other's hands and bodies.But for Bai Xiuqi, who has just recovered from his injury, these are enough.

Therefore, when the battlefield shifted an hour later, his neck tilted as soon as his back touched the door panel, and he fell into an irresistible sound sleep.

Even Bai Xiuqi himself didn't notice that he hadn't had a dream for a long time, but tonight, an unusually clear but terrifying nightmare was coming to him...

In the dark night, the wind is mixed with the fishy smell of aquatic plants and the sound of water waves hitting the embankment.

Bai Xiuqi opened his eyes in his dream, and the first thing he saw was a street lamp in the shape of a magnolia in the distance.And soft wicker hanging nearby.

This is by the canal? !

The transition from bewilderment to amazement doesn't take long.Bai Xiuqi soon realized that he had returned to the night when he was hunted down by Zhou Yiliang.

He supported the willow tree to stand up.At the same time, he looked towards the shore and saw Zhou Yiliang dealing with Wang Ti's body.

Bai Xiuqi knew that he was dreaming, and he clearly remembered every detail of reality - Zhou Yiliang should have cut Wang Ti's throat with a knife, and let the blood spurting from his throat stain the shallows on the shore red.

However, Zhou Yiliang didn't do that at the moment.

Wang Ti still fell in the shallow water on the shore.Zhou Yiliang still held the sharp weapon tightly, but he swung it at Wang Ti's body one after another.

Cutting, chopping, the sound of bloody flesh was shockingly clear by the dead river.

I don't know how many times the knife fell, Wang Ti's head was suddenly lifted up.Before Bai Xiuqi could turn his face away, he saw that head suddenly turned into a woman's head.Long hair flowed down from Zhou Yiliang's fingertips, the contrast between pale cheeks and blood red lips was so strong.

It was obvious that she had left her body, but the woman's eyes were open, and the black mercury eyes turned towards Bai Xiuqi bit by bit.

It was discovered!

Bai Xiuqi subconsciously took a step back.Thousands of silver bells suddenly appeared on the disturbed willow branches.There was a loud noise in unison.

What was even more weird was that the sound of the bell reached Bai Xiuqi's ears, but it turned into a strange cell phone ringtone.

He lowered his head and took out Wang Ti's cell phone from his pocket.The illuminated caller ID comes with a photo—it seems to be the head of the woman in Wang Ti's hand, but it seems to be another person...

The phone rings louder and louder.Bai Xiuqi panicked and threw it into the side canal, but the canal disappeared and turned into a promenade exactly like the shore.

Bai Xiuqi looked down at his feet in astonishment, not knowing when he was standing in the river instead.

Don't be nervous, I can breathe in the water... he reminded himself rationally.This time, however, it wasn't the danger of suffocation that was really scary.

Dark red blood floated in the dark water.The blood began to bubble, and different faces were reflected in the red blisters.

There are Li Kun who is boastful, Jiang Chao who has ulterior motives, and onlookers who have witnessed the jumping show... These faces are distorted and deformed on the surface of the spherical blisters. Suddenly, the blisters burst one after another, protruding from the inside. Pale hands one by one.

"Save us, save us..."

These hands climbed onto Bai Xiuqi's body one by one, and began to drag him down...

"stop!"

Before his mouth and nose were submerged in the river, Bai Xiuqi shouted: "Don't—"

Then he woke up and found himself still lying on the rough door panel of Jiang Chenglu's house.

At this moment, there were indeed a pair of hands clinging tightly to his lapel, which was the insurance that Jiang Chenglu put on him in his sleep.
