Chapter 61: Paper Tricks

We don’t want to die, but who can control our lives and never die?

The doctor's duty is to save lives and heal the wounded, whether to others or to myself. I tried my best to save my relatives' lives with my medical skills. My third aunt escaped, but still had fear. As soon as I had breakfast, I asked my uncle to drive her to the municipal hospital for examination. I should have been a guide for them, but as soon as I left the door, a taxi stopped beside me. The window rolled down, and Lu Ji, wearing a mask and sunglasses, said to me: "Doctor Yuan, the hospital has an urgent matter to ask me to pick you up!"

I quickly responded: "Then my third aunt went to the hospital for examination. Can I go together?"

"No!" Lu Ji's tough reply came from the car, and the third aunt next to me said to me: "Since the hospital has something urgent to ask you, then go back quickly. I can just have your uncle take care of you here!"

I agreed and comforted my third aunt: "Then you guys hurry up and go! I will visit you often in the future!"

My third aunt got into her own car, and I also entered the taxi, waved to them, and the taxi driver stepped on the accelerator and drove straight to Anle Town.

"What's so urgent?" Inside the car, I asked Lu Ji in the front seat.

She turned her head and responded: "The ghost messenger who came to ask for your third aunt's life last night has returned to report. You have also walked between life and death. If we don't go to find Master Li from the paper shop immediately, you will still have life worries."

What happened last night really scared me and I hurriedly asked: "How did you use paper man to replace my third aunt's life?"

Lu Ji slowly introduced: "Last night, your third aunt had a heart attack, and Lu Jia came to take her life, but you took it back with acupuncture. Lu Jia was unwilling to accept it. At the third day of the day, you would take your life while you were sleeping well. However, you blocked it with medicine in your dream. I used a little trick to temporarily seal your soul and let Lu Jia mistakenly think that you were dead. I took the opportunity to replace your third aunt's soul in the main hall with a paper man, and then escaped from the hospital with the paper man. After Lu Jia chased him, he took the paper man back to report. At this time, I made the rooster crow. Lu Jia thought it was almost dawn, so he took the paper man back to report."

"The Ghost Emperor found out that Lu Jia only brought back a paper man, so he would order him to continue to take the life of your third aunt!"

I hurriedly asked, "What should I do? Is there a way to avoid the soul-chasing of the Lou Arm? "

Lu Ji said: "It depends on your luck!" The taxi stopped in front of the Zhenhui store in the town. Although the Chinese New Year will be held tomorrow, the store is still open and the goods inside are piled up.

"You go buy some gifts. When we visit Master Li, we can't just start empty-handed, right?" Lu Ji explained.

I quickly touched my pocket, and there were more than 200 yuan in it, so I agreed. I got off the car and went straight into the store. The owner was busy greeting other customers. I didn’t know what to buy?

Seeing that other customers bought items for the New Year, I picked two bottles of Dukang wine, weighed two kilograms of meat, and some fruits, and paid for it, and returned to the taxi.

"You just bought this little? We're going to ask someone to help you!" Lu Ji questioned.

I quickly explained: "But this little thing cost me more than a hundred yuan. His son Li Bo and I are high school classmates, so we don't need to have too expensive gifts. Have you found out the detailed address of his house?"

Lu Ji did not answer, and the taxi driver drove forward again, and I was filled with questions.

The taxi stopped in front of a gate in the town. Lu Ji opened the car door and said to me: "Bring a gift with me! Remember that I am your colleague."

I got out of the car with a gift and saw this tall gatehouse, so I went forward to knock on the door.

Li Bo opened the door and saw that it was me, and asked in surprise: "Aren't you Yuan Chenghua? Why did you suddenly come to my house?"

Lu Ji answered for me first: "Doctor Yuan has something to come to you."

When Li Bo saw Lu Ji wearing sunglasses and masks, he was puzzled and hurriedly invited us in, took the gift I brought, and said politely: "I haven't seen you for several years. Where are you working now?"

The yard of his house is very large, and the greenhouses on both sides are full of funeral supplies. I saw several unpainted coffins placed under the greenhouse. Teacher Li poked his head out of the main hall and asked: "Li Bo, who is it?"

Li Bo hurriedly replied: "Dad, it's my high school classmate Yuan Chenghua!"

The two-story building with ceramic tiles is beautifully built, the main hall is exquisite and generous, and Li Bo's own paintings are hung on the walls.

Teacher Li and his wife were both at home, so they hurriedly invited Lu Ji and me to sit on the sofa and brought peanuts and candies to us.

I hurriedly said hello to both of them. Lu Ji took off her sunglasses and mask and looked at the living room.

Li Bo saw Lu Ji's appearance and was secretly surprised and immediately whispered to me: "Isn't this your partner? You are so lucky!"

I hurriedly introduced: "This is Xiao Yang, my colleague at the Municipal Mining Hospital. I am now working in the emergency department of the hospital!"

Teacher Li and his wife looked at us in surprise, and then asked Lu Ji about her well-being. Li Bo asked me: "You must have something important to come to me at this time, tell me!"

Lu Ji hurriedly said, "Last time at Dr. Yuan's grandmother's funeral, I saw the paper people you tied. They were very delicate and lifelike, so I asked Dr. Yuan to bring me to visit you. One of my relatives unfortunately died of illness, so I wanted to buy a pair of paper people to bury with you. I wonder if it will disturb you?"

Teacher Li hurriedly said, "Girl, what are you saying? You are Xiao Yuan's colleague and you came to us specifically. How could we refuse!"

Li Bo also replied proudly: "If you want a paper man, just come to me. The paper man I made can definitely be fake and real!"

I joked at him: "This paper man cannot be fake or real, otherwise they will say we will be buried with real people!"

Lu Ji asked Li Bo: "You made these paper people? Are there any inventory?"

Li Bo stood up and said, "You two come with me!"

Lu Ji and I greeted Teacher Li and his wife, followed Li Bo to the second floor, entered the side room, opened the door, and a smell of ink came to my face. The room was filled with colorful paper, and there were many semi-finished and finished paper people.

"I can't become a famous painter, but my skills in making paper men are still not bad. It can be said that the paper men I made are the best in Luoyang area." Li Bo proudly showed us his works.

I saw a paper man made of Ruan Lingyu and another one made of the late star Leslie Cheung, so I asked: "You dare to do this, will anyone buy it?"

Li Bo asked back: "The paper man I made is so realistic, how could no one buy it? Many people are rushing to buy it."

Lu Ji carefully looked at the paper man who looked like Teresa Teng, and then asked: "The paper man you made is very realistic, but if you work hard, it will backfire!"

"What's the matter?" Li Bo asked in discontently.

Lu Ji casually replied: "For example, digging a trench."

I immediately understood that only soldiers who were afraid of death would dig the trench very deeply. Li Bo emphasized disapprovingly: "I am not just a commodity, but also a craft!"

"No one will collect paper people as handicrafts at home!" Lu Ji responded, "Yes, your skills are really good. Can you use Xiao Yuan as a model and be a paper person as he looks?"

We were a little surprised after hearing this, and Lu Ji repeated it.

Li Bo asked: "Do you want to burn your dead relatives with a paper man who looks like to him?"
