The clouds and mists have dispersed, and everyone knows that I love you.

Shi Rong took out the white paper book with the red paper man attached to it, turned to the first page, and then tore off the first sheet.

Use tape to stick the four thin bamboo sticks handed to you by Xia Zhi to the hands and feet of the little paper man in turn.

"Watch carefully."

Shi Rong held up the paper figure and waved it in front of the girl.

Then, four bamboo sticks are pushed one by one, causing the paper figurine to perform difficult movements such as waving, walking, sword dancing, and splits.

The girls watching were delighted and clapped their hands in approval.

"Amazing!"

After Shi Rong demonstrated the correct way to play, he handed the paper figurine intact to the girl.

"Have fun with it, don't be afraid."

Xia Zhi casually pulled the notebook off Shi Rong's lap and opened it with suspicion.

It turns out that every little paper figure that Shi Rong cuts is not only lifelike but also vivid.

Even the joints of the limbs can be flipped and moved at will.

Is it so magical?

How did she do it?

Why didn't she notice it just now?

"I want it too..."

"what!"

Xia Zhi was concentrating on studying the paper figure when, at some point, the ghost of a handsome boy climbed onto her right shoulder.

It made Xia Zhihua pale.

Shi Rong ignored the woman's shouting and held the boy in his arms, helping him sit down.

"You want it too? Then let's play together."

Shi Rong tried various ways to cheer the two children up, making them giggle.

"Like it?"

The two little guys nodded heavily.

"If you like it, can you give it to us?"

Shi Rong nodded.

"Of course, take it."

The girl hugged the precious paper figurine tightly in her arms.

"But we have many other friends."

The boy returned the paper figure to Shi Rong reluctantly.

“If our mother found out we were playing with humans, we would die miserably.

Sister, please leave quickly, our mother is very scary."

It seems that the little boy has been trapped here for a long time, and the so-called "mother" he is talking about is the culprit - the ghost mother.

Shi Rong raised his hand and touched the boy's head.

"how long have you been here?"

The boy thought about it, then counted on his fingers.

“I don’t remember, I only know that the persimmons on the tree behind the mountain outside my door have ripened 15 times.

In the past, my grandmother would pick some for the family to eat every year. Now, I think she is long dead...

I wanted to try it, but my mother wouldn’t let me.”

It has matured 15 times, proving that it has been here for 15 years.

By extension, the ghost mother has been living here for at least several decades.

"Is there anyone who came earlier than you?"

The boy nodded.

“Yes, Little Cotton saw flowers blooming at the intersection 34 times.

The first one to arrive was the 'Cracked Skin Boy'. The two of them were the gods of war under their mother's seat.

He's ruthless, but he's also the boss who's in charge of us."

Cracked-skinned boy?

In other words, in addition to the ghost mother, Shi Rong also has two completely evil vengeful spirits that he needs to deal with?

"Thank you, you really helped me a lot."

The boy chuckled.

"Then can I call other friends to play together?"

Shi Rong agreed readily.

"Sure! Go ahead and call them. I'll be waiting here. Every baby will get a shadow puppet."

The little ones were overjoyed and hurried to look for other ghost children.

Shi Rong was afraid that if he was a second late, he would regret it.

Seeing this, Shi Yang was confused and stopped stirring the cinnabar chalcedony.

"Brother Yi Xiu, since these little ghosts are all the Ghost Mother's people, why doesn't she turn them completely evil?

Just like that cracked-skinned boy, they retain their innocent nature as children?

Isn't it obvious that anyone who comes here can become friends with them and extract information from them?"

Xie Yixiu couldn't help but twitch his speechless mouth.

"Are you sure? Then why don't you go check on Mingxing and Xinyue?"

Shi Yang looked as he was told.

Compared to the warmth and harmony on Shi Rong and Xia Zhi's side, the situation on Shen Mingxing and Ji Xinyue's side was in chaos!

They were often frightened and screamed by the green-faced, fang-toothed little ghosts running around.

The more scared they were, the more the little devils tried to tease them.

"It doesn't matter if it's a big ghost or a small ghost, the more you fear their existence, the less kind they will be.

Even humans have the nature of bullying the weak, let alone ghosts who become after death?

In fact, as long as you can accept them from the bottom of your heart and treat them equally with the same eyes as the secular world.

They will naturally try to treat you well.

Otherwise, your panic and fear will be seen as disgust in their eyes."

Xie Yixiu's words, which were of great significance, seemed to be spoken to Shi Yang, but in fact, he was also teaching the two women how to do things.

Upon hearing this, Shen Mingxing and Ji Xinyue calmed down one after another.

Yes!

Xie Yixiu was right. Although these little ghosts had been constantly changing their facial features to scare them since they came in.

But it never caused any substantial harm to them.

This shows that their nature is kind.

Thinking of this, Shen Mingxing gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, then opened his arms and picked up a hideous-looking little ghost in front of him and hugged him.

"Can we talk calmly? Don't scare me, and I won't bully you.

How about playing games with you guys?"

The little ghost was stunned by her sudden warm hug.

"what game?"

Seeing it gradually returning to its original appearance, Shen Mingxing breathed a sigh of relief.

He took out the white paper he had with him and opened it upright towards them.

"Dangdang! Look! There are colorful shadow puppets made of little paper figures. Do you like them?

It’s so fun! Can I teach you? You’ll love it, trust me.”

Shen Mingxing squatted on the ground and used tape and bamboo sticks to stick the paper man's limbs together.

"Look, it can dance, say hello, and even play with guns. Do you like it?"

The little ghost tentatively stretched out a little hand, and Shen Mingxing immediately handed it to it and went on to do the next one.

"Don't worry, everyone has it. I'll make it for you."

The remaining few little ghosts all said the same thing.

"it is good!"

Ji Xinyue followed suit, tidied up her messy appearance, and smiled at the three ghost children beside her.

"How about we...be friends? My name is Ji Xinyue, and I'm here to give you some gifts.

Just tell us your names and everyone can get a gift, okay?"

As Ji Xinyue spoke, she bravely raised one hand and affectionately shook each of their cracked and blue palms one by one.

"My...my name is Tiedan."

"My name is Erya."

"My name is Xiaoju."

Ji Xinyue nodded repeatedly.

"That sounds great~ Then let's sit down and play together? Look what I brought you?"

Then, she took the ghost child who had returned to his original form, sat on the ground, and pointed at the lively and delicate little paper figure on the notebook.

"Their name is Xiao Wujiao, aren't they cute?

Just as beautiful as you are, right?

But they won't move now, so should we find a way to make them move?"

The ghost child's attention was completely attracted by this fiery red novelty toy.

"Correct."

So Ji Xinyue worked as quickly as possible to make the paper figure into a moving shadow puppet.
