"Boss, do you sell soul-fixing incense here?" Manli, a woman standing outside the door, asked in a hoarse voice.
She was holding a parasol, wearing sunglasses, a mask, and a scarf, covering her entire face tightly.
Lu Yi nodded calmly and led the person into the shop.
"This thing is not often sold. I'll put it away. Please wait." Lu Yi said politely.
The woman nodded.
Lu Yi turned around and returned to the yard, leaving the woman alone in the store.
The woman looked around curiously and saw paper figures placed against the wall. She took a few steps forward and bent down to take a closer look.
Generally, the paper-cut figures in funeral supply stores will not have eyes painted on them. Since ancient times, dotting the eyes has been an action that closely symbolizes "giving soul", whether it is the dotting of the eyes of a paper figure or the finishing touch.
But in Lu Yi’s shop, the pair of paper figurines of a boy and a girl that were leaning against the wall as samples for customers’ reference all nodded.
The woman took a closer look at the pair of paper-pricked figures. Apart from their eyes, there seemed to be no difference. The materials used are not very good, the paper surface is rough, and the painting work is also poor.
The boys wear red clothes and the girls wear green clothes, distinguished by their hairstyles. They all have round faces with facial features that look like children's paintings, and there are two sudden blushes on their cheeks.
The mouth is a simple curve, curved upward in an exaggerated manner. Combined with the pale facial color and the simple, emotionless eyes, it is indescribably disharmonious.
The woman couldn't tell what was wrong, but she always felt scared when she looked at the paper man with eyes dotted, so she looked away and looked at the gold paper ingots piled next to it.
Just when the woman was looking around casually and turned to look at the various urns stacked on the wall behind her, the eyes of the paper man slowly moved in direction and stared directly at the woman. 's back.
The woman felt a chill on her back. She turned around and took a look, but found nothing different.
While she was wondering, she was caught off guard and met the eyes of the paper man.
It...were its eyes looking in this direction just now?
The woman's eyes hidden behind her sunglasses moved her gaze to the side in a panic, then came back with all her strength.
Hee hee...
The children's laughter echoed in the store.
It was the right time in the afternoon when the sun was shining, but the sunlight outside seemed unable to illuminate this cold little shop. The simple store door seems to be the dividing line between sunshine and darkness. Raising the threshold, which is rare in modern stores, seems to intensify this division.
Hahaha...
The laughter of children surrounded the store, seeming to be running and playing around the woman.
The woman frowned in fear, glanced around with her peripheral vision, and looked closely atLooking at the paper doll with a weird smile, he didn't dare to look away. He only felt that the smiles of the boy and girl seemed to be getting wider and wider.
It is clear that the door of the store is facing a busy crossroads. The sound of cars and the voices of pedestrians on the road are very bustling and lively. But here alone, it is deserted and deserted, as if separated from the bustling and bustling city.

Can anyone help me...
The woman is now like a person who is afraid of dogs and accidentally got into a confrontation with a vicious dog. Neither dare to run with their backs to the opponent, nor dare to face the opponent head on.
General funeral supplies stores will hang some items to ward off evil spirits. For example, hang a Bagua mirror on the door and put a mahogany sword in the shop.
But there are no evil-proof decorations in Lu Yi’s shop.
The store contains incense, candles and ingots that are very attractive to ghosts. It is like a bank without security, with the vault door open, facing the street.
Why?
Naturally, when the ghosts are attracted by the scent of incense candles, they will see that in addition to piles of cash in the vault door, there are also mad dogs that are more terrifying than the security guards.
The boy and girl with the paper-shaped figure stared at the woman without evading, and did not try to hide their malice.
The boy raised the corners of his mouth in a sinister manner, and the girl screamed for no reason!
The two paper-tied figures suddenly started to move!
The woman screamed and squatted down holding her head.
"Hey! Not polite!" Lu Yi's voice came from the door of the courtyard.
The boys and girls immediately calmed down and stood very obediently against the wall. There was even a hint of a flattering expression on their rough and simple facial features.
"This guest, I'm sorry, the child at home is a little naughty." Lu Yi said to the woman in an unapologetic voice.
"You...I...it..." The woman stuttered and pointed at Lu Yi, and then at the paper man next to the wall. For a while, I couldn't organize any effective communication language.
"This is the soul-fixing incense you want." Lu Yi did not answer, but took out a small handful of incense he had just found.
Lu Yi took one out and lit it on the candle that was always burning in the store.
A small line of tangible green smoke floated up from where the slender incense was lit.
The woman leaned forward and took a deep breath through her nose under the mask.
"You inspect the goods." Lu Yi politely handed it forward.
The woman was not polite, stretched out her hand to take it, brought it close to her face, and took another deep breath.
Lu Yi stood there and looked at the mysterious woman with her whole face wrapped in front of him, intoxicated in the smoke of Soul-fixing Incense like a cat sucking catnip.
"Do your family members know that you are smoking this?" Lu Yi said coldly.
