Traveling through the world of Paper Wedding Dress

After returning home, Shen Moqing helped Wang Jiaotong to the bed.

"Tongtong, lie down for a while. I'll get you a towel."

"No need, Qingqing, I'm cold and sleepy, I want to sleep," Tongtong said in a low voice.

"You'll catch a cold if you sleep like this. Dry your body, warm it up, and take a shower before going to bed."

“Huh? Why is the house so dilapidated?” He said and closed his eyes.

"Don't sleep now, wake up, Tongtong." Shen Moqing shouted but Wang Jiaotong did not respond: "Tongtong, Tongtong, don't scare me, are you sick? Or..." Anxious Shen Moqing suddenly remembered what Yubaba said before, "Your second grandfather's trick is a bit evil and may attract unclean things. Let's write down the contact information and find me in case something strange happens." Shen Moqing tried to call the number but couldn't get through.

[The call is not going through. Is the phone soaked in water and broken?] Suddenly Shen Moqing felt a chill all over his body [Hiss! Why is it so cold all of a sudden? Forget it. Let’s go to the hospital without thinking about it.] After Shen Moqing walked out of the door, he found himself

Still in the living room.

"Why... am I back again? Is it a ghost?" Shen Moqing was a little flustered and remembered that the landlady had given us a jade hairpin and said it could ward off evil spirits.

"Tongtong, hold on." Shen Moqing began to look for the jade hairpin at home. He remembered that he seemed to have placed it in the drawer of the coffee table, but he found that the drawer was locked.

"Key... where is the key?" Suddenly the lights in the room flickered rhythmically, and then the fan next to the door started up by itself and blew the calendar to the ground, revealing the key behind the calendar.

"The key, what a coincidence." Although Shen Moqing was very scared, he still picked up the key. Tongtong was important now, nothing else mattered. After using the key to open the drawer, there was a green mandarin duck hairpin inside.

[I hope this lily hairpin works. ]

"Tongtong, I won't let anything happen to you." Shen Moqing picked up Tongtong and walked outside. This time he didn't go back to the original place. He got into the car smoothly and drove towards the hospital.

"I seem to have passed this street just now. Is it the same as before at home, where I am stuck in a maze again? I clearly brought a jade hairpin with me, why doesn't it work? Let's get off the car and take a look." Shen Moqing got out of the car. There was an old wedding supplies store next to it. There was a statue of Yue Lao in a red robe sitting at the door like a door god. At this time, the phone was ringing and a call came in.

[Hmm? The phone works? This number...]

"Hey, Granny Yu."

Granny Tang's voice came from the phone: "Mo Qing, after you left, the strange things in the village stopped. When your second grandfather's eyelids twitched, I was worried that an unclean thing had followed you. Did you encounter anything strange?"

"Tongtong fell into a coma after returning home. I was taking her to the hospital, but the car kept circling on the street, as if we were stuck in a maze." Shen Moqing briefly recounted what happened.

"Ghost Wall... Use your phone to take pictures everywhere, maybe you can see something."

"Let me try." Shen Moqing pointed the phone in front of him and saw a paper figure that looked like a matchmaker suddenly appear in the phone. The paper figure had a terrifying smile, and Shen Moqing was so scared that he immediately put down the phone in front of him.

"What's wrong? What did you see?" Yubaba asked with concern on the other side of the phone.

"There's a paper figure that looks like a matchmaker standing in front of the phone and staring at me...and there are several more not far away." Shen Moqing's frightened voice trembled a little.

"It can only be seen on the phone, and it's a paper figurine? This is weird... Mo Qing, light a cigarette first, and you can get through the mystery. Then send the girl to the hospital quickly. I'll ask a few people to go back to my house on the mountain to help me check those books. Maybe they mention these paper figurines."

"Or...or you can call the police for me, I...am very scared..." Shen Moqing's legs were already weak and he had no strength. He had encountered too many weird things today. He was usually not very courageous, if he hadn't been worried about Tongtong, he would not have been able to hold on until now.

"Oh, that ghost wall is when ghosts trap you on the edge of the Yin and Yang world. You can't get out, and people outside can't help you. You can only rely on yourself."

"Okay...what about Tongtong? If she comes with me, will she be in danger? Speaking of which, is it because of the things my second grandfather poured on her that she is unconscious?"

"this···"

This was the voice of my second grandfather coming from the other end of the line: "I say, don't wrongly accuse me, kid. I splashed black dog blood to drive away evil spirits, how could it make people faint? Think carefully about whether you encountered any strange things on the way home?"

Shen Moqing recalled: "A strange thing... On the way back, Tongtong went to the river to wash her bag. I don't know why she fell into the water. When I went down to save her, I always felt that there was someone nearby, but I didn't see anything..."

"She fell into the water?!" The second grandfather was a little excited: "Oh! You kids don't understand anything. What day is today? March 3rd!"

Shen Moqing was a little confused: "March 3rd...is it a special day?"

Second Grandfather: “It’s Ghost Festival!”

Shen Moqing: "What!"

Granny Yu: "Although Shangsi Festival is also considered a ghost festival, taking a bath on this day is to ward off evil spirits and seek marriage. How can this attract ghosts?"

Second Grandfather: "That river flows from the graveyard and temple of Zangling Village! The people in that village worship ghosts and evil things, so maybe their bad spirits were carried along the river. If you fall into the water on a day like this, isn't that like asking ghosts for marriage?"

Shen Moqing: "This... Yubaba, is this really true?!"

Yubaba: "Oh, I've never seen anything like this, but it does make sense. In the past, that village had some weird custom of burning paper brides to worship the gods."

Second Grandfather: "Mo Qing, listen to Second Grandfather's advice and go home quickly. Don't block that ghost from getting married or you will be harmed by him. You are the only boy in the Shen family this generation. You can find a better wife. The horoscopes are compatible..."

Before Second Grandfather could finish, he was interrupted by Shen Moqing: "Second Grandfather! No matter what you say, it will not shake my determination to save Tongtong. You misunderstood Tongtong before, but considering that you are the elder, I didn't want to contradict you, but Tongtong, she actually... In short, I have already decided on Tongtong and will not let her go."

When Shen Moqing said this, he noticed that Xun Yuanfeng, who was sitting on the sofa, looked a little unhappy, so he asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Xun Yuanfeng came back to his senses: "Ah? It's nothing, I just didn't expect to hear the name Zangling Village again."

"What do you mean?" Shen Moqing didn't understand.

"It's okay, just continue." Xun Yuanfeng didn't answer him.

Shen Moqing could only continue to talk about what happened.
