Although the address of Shen Tiao Men is marked as belonging to Quanhe City, Jiaxi Province, in fact, the actual location of Shen Tiao Men is outside Quanhe City.

After our passenger bus got off at the designated location in Quanhe City, I gave the person at Shen Tiaomen a quick call. When he called me two days ago, he said that when we arrived at the designated location, we would

You can call him and he will come to pick us up.

The phone rang twice and the call was connected, and the man's deep voice rang. I said a few words briefly, and he hung up after responding.

While waiting for the man's free time, I began to look at this specific place. Looking around, it was just an ordinary piece of land, and there were even a few farmers not far in front of us.

Working.

Lingdang once wanted to run to the field over there to take a look, but I stopped her. I don’t know when the people from the Shen Tiao Gate will come to pick us up. If they don’t see us at the designated location at first glance, they will definitely

They think we are rude.

So, for the sake of politeness, I pressed the bell and stood there obediently.

The bell puffed out its cheeks in displeasure, just like a pufferfish after being touched. The bulge made people want to pinch it.

I looked down at his appearance and couldn't help laughing. After a while, although it was spring, the weather was not too cold, and the surrounding scenery was very eye-catching, but after waiting for so long, everyone would lose patience.

.

"Is that person here yet? Is he playing tricks on us?" The bell was no longer in my hand, but squatted on the side of the road. My eyes were silently staring at the farmers working not far away.

People on passing vehicles always cast curious glances at us. I really don’t understand them. Aren’t they just two people squatting on the roadside? What’s so interesting?

Are there flowers growing on our faces?

Just when we both lost patience, a farmer working in the field over there walked towards us. I watched him getting closer and closer, and the corners of my mouth couldn't help twitching.

It’s not like we don’t have enough money to get on the bus, so please don’t treat us like rare animals.

While I was complaining in my heart, the farmer had already walked up to me. He was wearing very simple clothes and had a hoe on his shoulder.

He looks to be in his thirties, and there is no other expression on his face, which gives people a very cold feeling. His expression is completely inconsistent with the appearance of a farmer in my impression.

His short black hair was covered with a layer of dust, and he had obviously been working for a long time. He stood in front of me, looking at me and the bell up and down.

I felt really uncomfortable being stared at like this. So I waved my hands and was about to say something. But the farmer spoke first: "Are you Mr. Duanmuyang and Lingdang?"

Being asked this suddenly, Lingdang and I were stunned. How could this farmer know our names?

"Wait a minute," I stretched out my palm and made a 'stop' gesture. "With that voice, are you the one who called me?" I asked in surprise.

The man looked at me and nodded silently. There was still no expression on his face. It was initially determined that this guy had facial paralysis.

Anyway, the impression this man gave me was that, except for his expression, which I expected, his clothing was completely unexpected.

"Well, hello, I'm Duanmu Yang, nice to meet you." Since he was the one who came to pick us up, out of courtesy, I stretched out my hand and said hello to him.

The man shook my hand in a dignified manner. Then he nodded and said, "My name is Xia Ke. Nice to meet you too."

When I heard this man's name, I almost burst out laughing. This man with facial paralysis is called Xia Ke? To make sure I didn't hear him wrong, I asked his name again.

"Summer class." The man nodded slightly and replied.

I pursed my lips and resisted the urge to take out my phone and record it. It was the first time I heard such a strange name. How could I not be excited?

Summer class, if I am called by this name, I wonder which teacher will dare to call me when I am sleeping in class in the future.

The man seemed to be used to other people's reactions to his name, so he kept a calm expression. After I finally calmed down, he continued: "I'm sorry to keep you two waiting for so long. Please come with me."

Saying that, Xia Ke made a gesture of invitation.

Lingdang and I looked at each other, and then followed him towards the other side of the field. When passing by those acres of land, I inadvertently glanced at the farmers who were 'working' with the summer class in the field.

Just one glance scared me.

How could those things be human? They were just a few funeral paper figures made of white paper. The paper figures were painted in various colors, especially the bright red on their cheeks, which made people feel even more strange after seeing them.

When I accidentally met the eyes of the paper man, I was shocked again. Those dark eyes, I am afraid I will never forget them in this life.

The black eyes of the paper man were dotted with ink. I wonder if it was because I didn’t close the pen when I put it away at the end. The curvature of the paper man’s eyes turned into a crescent shape, making it look like he was staring at me and smiling.

"Why are these things placed here?" Lingdang also noticed these paper figures, but he was used to seeing such things and did not feel a trace of fear. He just asked lightly after class.

Xia Ke did not stop and continued walking forward. He said without looking back: "These paper figures are used to monitor the situation outside."

"So these paper figures have monitors in their bodies?" Lingdang continued to ask. Xia Ke shook his head: "No, these paper figures are connected to a few specific people in our sect. They can pass through these papers

Human eyes can observe the situation outside. Except for this place, there are many such paper figures in a radius of hundreds of miles around the Shen Tiao Gate."

"Wow, that's awesome." Lingdang couldn't help but admire it. I nodded in praise, feeling that this thing is much easier to use than a monitor or something.

Not only can it be used for surveillance, it can also be used for intimidation.

"But these paper figures look very weak. Won't they get torn due to wind and rain?" Ling Dang said, reaching out and poking the paper figure closest to him.

Xia Ke's eyes squinted, and he happened to see the scene of Ling Dang reaching out, and he quickly shouted to stop him: "Don't touch him!"

"Huh? Why?" Lingdang said in confusion, but he couldn't stop the movement of his hand. The moment he finished speaking, his finger had already poked the paper man's arm.
