C4 Use your life to fight for your life

In the evening, the village chief rushed over, saying that Wang Xiuzhi was awake and making a ruckus, probably trying to break free from the Red Cloth.

Big Aunt looked at the sky and instructed me to bring the Paper Man to Wang Xiuzhi's family for help after the sky turns completely dark.

I turned my head to look at the Paper Man in the corner. I had the feeling that she suddenly came to life and that strange face was smiling at me!

Night fell.

Even though I didn't want to, I knew that I couldn't miss my aunt's reminder. After all, this was a matter of life and death.

After struggling for a bit, she finally carried the Paper Man out the door.

The Paper Man's height is about the same as me, hugging is very uncomfortable.

The few strands of Wang Xiuzhi's hair that were stuck to her head felt extremely uncomfortable when the wind brushed against my face, so I simply carried them on my shoulder.

The countryside was different from the city. There were few people outside as soon as it became dark, and only the occasional croaking of frogs could be heard from the grass.

The night wind blew gently, and a little girl like me carried a piece of paper to stab people. The more I walked, the more scared I became.

I met a man who was on his way at night. Before he got close, he turned around and ran. He must have thought he saw a ghost and scared me to death.

When they were close to Wang Xiuzhi's gate, they could already hear the noise from the courtyard.

As he approached, he saw a large fire burning in the middle of the empty courtyard. He helped to circle around the crowd of onlookers.

Wang Xiuzhi was placed on the ground not far from the bonfire, with a dirty bedsheet underneath.

The Red Cloth was still tied to her body, and under the illumination of the fire, she continuously twisted her body like a snake.

I was wondering where my aunt had gone when she came out of the house with an incense stick in her hands.

The big sister-in-law stood in front of the fire and bowed in four directions while muttering some words of greeting, then placed her incense inside a treasure cauldron placed on top of Wang Xiuzhi's head.

Strangely, the wind was blowing against the fire, but the smoke from the three incense sticks was rising steadily, unaffected by the wind.

The incense stick on the right side of the stick was burning rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, only one-third of the other two incense sticks remained!

There was an incense stick in the Eldest Aunt's House, I had even read through it before, although I did not memorize it all, I still remembered this incense stick's worth of time.

This was the incense of life!

Fragrance had clouds, black and white Wuchang came for life, and within the month, the lives of his family members were in danger! This was the first time he had reported his wrongdoings to the sect, and it was a sign of him being short-lived!

Was it really as big aunt feared, that Wang Xiuzhi was not saved?

When the village chief saw me standing at the door with the Paper Man, he immediately called me in.

The aunt looked at me, and told me to put the Paper Man on the ground, then give the bowl to her.

I obediently placed the Paper Man at the side. I didn't know if it was due to my psychological effects, but I felt that the Paper Man had become heavier and heavier along the way.

On the table, there was a bowl filled with a red liquid. It looked like blood, and on top of the bowl, there was a thick brush.

Later, I learned that it was mixed with cinnabar and yellow chicken blood.

Big Aunt used a brush to dip it in the chicken blood and threw it around, at the same time, she told the village chief to find two strong men to hold Wang Xiuzhi down.

However, the words of the Village Head did not seem to be of any help when it came to preserving his life. No one was willing to take the initiative to go forward.

In the end, the village chief panicked. He took out a few red notes from his pocket and said that each of them would be given one.

There were bound to be brave men who were highly rewarded. In a moment, five or six of them rushed up and picked out four young and strong men before taking the money to help them.

I stood there, frightened and curious, watching.

Seeing that the three incense sticks had burnt up, the First Aunt immediately dipped her chicken blood on Wang Xiuzhi's forehead and drew a line.

The moment the brush landed, Wang Xiuzhi's body that seemed to have gone crazy, suddenly bounced up, and her expression became painful as she screamed!

It didn't sound like it came from a human mouth. It scared me!

At the same time, a strong gust of wind blew over, igniting the flames within the bonfire. With a "hu" sound, the flames reached a height of two meters, causing everyone present to cry out in alarm.

Wang Xiuzhi screamed continuously, her body twisting and turning violently as though she wanted to struggle free.

The four brawny helpers were sweating profusely, but they could only barely hold her down.

She then continued to dip her brush in the chicken blood and drew a line on Wang Xiuzhi's nose and face, and then drew two lines on each of his cheeks, and then she wrote all the way down to his entire body.

Looking at the blood traces alone, they were only straight or curved lines, but if one looked at them all together, they would see that they were actually enlarged words or strange diagrams!

I've never seen my aunt do this, and I don't know what the patterns really do.

However, as Wang Xiuzhi's entire body was covered with patterns, the degree of her struggle became more and more intense.

When her aunt's last stroke fell, she suddenly broke free from the few people holding her down. She stood up straight and glared fiercely at her aunt!

Worried that my aunt was in danger, I stepped forward and tried to pull her aside.

But just as I moved, Wang Xiuzhi's body suddenly turned towards me!

Only then did I notice that her feet were bent back in a weird arc and she was standing on the ground with her whole back instead of her feet!

I gasped from the shock of this strange scene, and unconsciously retreated a few steps, while Wang Xiuzhi kept on approaching me.

Suddenly I stumbled over the stone steps behind me and fell to the ground.

Wang Xiuzhi dragged her foot as if she was a snake, and quickly twisted in front of me. She leaned forward and looked down at me with her dark eyes!

In an instant, I felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over me. My entire body was ice-cold, and it was as if my entire body was frozen, unable to move at all!

I thought I was finished. I couldn't help but think back to my short life.

But right at this moment, the big sister-in-law had a handful of needles that were shining with a cold light. While Wang Xiuzhi's attention was focused on her, she stuck them all into her back!

I thought Wang Xiuzhi would resist violently like she was smeared with chicken blood.

However, even after Big Aunt inserted a few needles into her back, she didn't react at all. It was as though she didn't notice at all as she continued to stare at me, unsure of what to do.

It was only until the moment Wang Xiuzhi saw her aunt had given him five or six needles that she did not resist at all. Her eyes, ears and nose started to bleed, and her appearance became even more terrifying.

But for the moment I had no time to be afraid, and as she bled from her orifices, the feeling of being trapped in my body faded away.

I flexed my wrist, saw that I could move, and immediately got up and ran!

"Lead her to the side of the Paper Man!"

I originally wanted to run into the crowd, but after hearing my aunt's words, I immediately went around to the side of the Paper Man.

It was unknown if it was because of Wang Xiuzhi's seven orifices bleeding or not, but her current movement speed was much slower than before. It looked more like an old lady moving slowly.

In the meantime, I saw my aunt take two more needles after her!

And just as the last needle of the aunt fell, Wang Xiuzhi suddenly fell to the ground with a "bang", as if she had lost the lead rope in an instant!

Just as I was about to ask my aunt what was going on, a gust of wind blew by, causing the sand and wood dust to form a small tornado that spun rapidly in the garden!

That gust of wind looked as though it had a life of its own. After circling the courtyard once, it charged towards me and the Paper Man.

"Dodge!" Eldest Aunt suddenly shouted at me.

I reacted and immediately ran towards the other side, but how could my speed be as fast as the wind?

Before he could even run, he felt as if he had been struck by a huge stone from behind. He fell to the ground, his internal organs wrenching in pain!

At the same time, someone from the crowd shouted, "It's moving, the Paper Man is moving!"

I was still conscious enough to raise my head and see that Paper Man, who was just a step away from me, had actually stood up and swayed back and forth in midair, as if she was really alive!

Wang Xiuzhi's brother immediately stepped forward and carried me into the crowd.

I turned my head and saw my aunt rushing towards me, trying to catch the Paper Man.

However, the tornado was like a solid barrier, forcing her to continuously retreat even after she had stretched out her hand twice.

I was worried for my aunt when I saw her cut her palm with the kitchen knife. The blood started to flow.

First Aunt immediately used her cut hands to try to catch the Paper Man in the whirlwind again.

This time, due to the presence of blood, the Paper Man was pulled out of the whirlwind and thrown into the fire!

When the Paper Man met fire, it instantly lit up. At that moment, I thought I heard a woman's sorrowful scream in the fire!
