After taking a sip of tea to calm down her shock, Shi Ying admired sincerely: "The paper figures in the store are indeed lifelike. Did you make these?"
The young man nodded with a smile, stood up and gave Shi Ying some tea, and said, "There are some works behind the screen. Do you want to see them?"
Shi Ying hesitated for a moment, and she remembered that the proprietress of Yongjie Tongxin's tailor shop seemed to have lured her in in this way, in order to let her put on the human skin clothes. If she fell into the trap, it would be painful even in the game.
But having said that, the NPCs in the dungeon have never harmed her. They just look scary at most. After all, we are all colleagues, and they will not use the same tactics as the right players against her, right?
Shi Ying still nodded in agreement. She was really curious about what else the paper man could be made into and why he put it behind instead of displaying it.
The young man guided Shi Ying to the back. Only then did Shi Ying realize how deep the store was. Just now she thought the screen was at the back wall, but she didn't expect that there was a lot behind it.
"Shopkeeper, what do you call me?" Shi Ying unconsciously used honorifics.
The young man smiled: "Just call me Jimo, you don't have to be so polite."
"Jimo?" Isn't this a place name?
As if seeing Shi Ying's doubts, Jimo explained softly, with a hint of sadness in his tone: "That's my hometown. I've been here for a long time, and I've almost forgotten all the past. But one day I suddenly realized,
I could only think of this place name, so in order not to forget it, I called myself Jimo."
Shi Ying was also a little depressed when she heard this. She didn't know how long he had been here and why he didn't reincarnate and opened a paper shop instead. But she didn't ask these questions. After all, the two of them only exchanged a few words.
Shi Ying hadn't even told Jimo her name yet, so it would be a bit rude to ask these questions.
"Sorry, I haven't communicated with others for a long time. Did I say a little too much?" Jimo saw Shiying with a low expression, obviously affected by what he just said, and apologized in a low voice.
Shi Ying shook her head: "No, Jimo is a beautiful place, from ancient times to the present. It's just a pity that you can't go back and see it."
Jimo laughed when he heard the words: "It doesn't matter, there is a difference between yin and yang. I open a shop here and occasionally meet customers from Lu Di. It's just that I have forgotten too many things, and their accents don't feel familiar anymore. I just chat for comfort."
It’s just citizenship.”
Shi Ying sighed in her heart. This guy didn't even know his accent. He had been dead for a long time, but he didn't show it on his face. He just quietly followed Jimo into the space behind the screen.
If the front of the screen is the reception area, then the back of the screen is the display area. An inverted U walkway connects the exits on the left and right of the screen. There are various paper figures on both sides of the middle, and a half-person high table in the middle.
There were groups of small paper figures placed on it, the tallest one standing on the table was no bigger than Shi Ying's shoulders.
The little people dressed in ancient costumes were either outing, having a banquet on the boat, or competing in the arena. Some of the people in modern clothes were shopping, some were dancing on the dance floor, and some were riding on the same 28-meter bar as the other side.
Cyclists are saying hello.
Although the characters are small, the workmanship is not rough at all. The people and objects in each scene seem to have been enchanted to stay in place, and then shrunk and placed here. Unlike the boys and girls outside who can still
It could be seen that it was made of paper, and everything here looked like a miniature version of the real scene. Shi Ying looked at it carefully, trying to find a flaw to prove that it was paper, but failed without a doubt.
Jimo smiled and looked at Shi Ying's movements of bending down to observe carefully, and said to her: "You can touch it to see if it is made of paper."
Shi Ying gently stretched out her index finger and touched the boat, which seemed to be made of solid wood. She was very familiar with the texture of the wood, but it was obviously not wood. She gently touched the boat plank again in disbelief. It really felt like paper.
Shi Ying straightened up with a look of wonder on her face. Jimo smiled and stretched out his right hand to show her to look to the right.
As soon as Shi Ying came in, she was attracted by the small paper man on the table. She ignored the paper tie on the right. After Jimo reminded her, she turned her attention. This sight caught her off guard and her scalp exploded for a moment.
.
She originally thought it was the same character scene as the cashier lady outside, only more detailed or with more characters, but she didn't want to turn around and saw a tomb beast at a glance.
When Jimo saw her reaction, a smile of unknown meaning appeared on his face, as if he was very satisfied with the effect of his design.
Shi Ying had seen tomb-smashing beasts in many museums before. Some were in the shape of birds, some were imaginatively created based on deer, cattle, sheep, horses, and lions, and some had human faces and animal bodies. The styles were very diverse.
However, due to the long history of their production, coupled with the tempering of time and the iteration of aesthetics, many of them do not look scary, and they are not big. When placed in a display cabinet under the light, they have a silly and cute feeling.
The tomb-slaying beast in front of her really startled her. It didn't have a green face and fangs, nor did it grin. It just squatted there quietly, looking down at Shi Ying with a heavy gaze. It didn't speak, but Shi Ying felt it.
To the point of dismissal.
Shi Ying turned her gaze to Jimo and asked the question she had been holding in her mind since going up to the third floor: "What are these paper ties for?"
Jimo was stunned for a moment, as if he was surprised that Shi Ying asked such a question, but he still introduced the basic uses of paper binding: "There are many classifications based on the intended use during production, such as this one." He pointed to the cruise ship scene: "Buy it back
You can go on a boat cruise with paper figures to enjoy the scenery. Of course, the scenery and environment need to be purchased separately.”
"If it is a boy or girl at the door, it can only be used as a gatekeeper. If you are not used to the paper man guarding the door, you can buy this tomb-suppressing beast and go back." Jimo turned his eyes to the sitting tomb-suppressing beast and said
: "They can watch the door for you when you leave. Because boys and girls are human, they can tell you who has been here and help you sign for express delivery. The tomb beasts can't speak, but they can scare away Xiaoxiao and give them to them.
Causing soul damage."
Shi Ying was stunned. Although these two functions combined were not as good as the mirror in the hall of the building, they were still magical enough, especially the tomb beast, which could actually cause DEBUFF. Why had she not seen such a powerful thing used by the residents in the building?
Yes, is it not allowed in the building, is it enough to have a mirror, or is it for some other reason?
Shi Ying was wondering if she should buy one and put it at the door of the building to try, so she asked the price. Jimo smiled and said a number. Shi Ying's eager face instantly fell. Ten times her points were not enough to buy it.
Yes, the reason why the residents in the building have not used it must be because the price is too expensive. Poverty makes people rational. Having these points is really not as good as redeeming a few more points.
