Chapter 21 Dolls

Behind the hill near the exit of Guo Hongjing is a large open space that has not been developed. The open space is covered with weeds, all of which are yellow, and it looks like a desert.

The wind in the town is always strong. Standing on it, still being blown by the wind, the feeling of seeing all the vicissitudes of the world arises spontaneously. Guo Hongjing feels that he is a poet at this moment.

Full of a sense of indifference to the mundane world, I felt like an adult at that moment. In such a disturbance, I still had a normal heart. I touched the withered yellow grass blown by the wind with my hands and looked at it. Those mud, why is this world so dark.

I will never realize that there are so many rooms and so many clothes like Barbie dolls.

I never know the feeling of happiness, the feeling of sleeping on a soft quilt, that light, unbelievably soft feeling that people sink into as soon as they lie down, the quilt and cushion at home are always so cold.

At night, when the cold came, I was willing to feel the warmth and sense of security brought by the quilt.I fell asleep happily all night.

If she can sleep on a softer quilt and have a change of shoes, who knows, every time she sees holes in her shoes, she wants to hide her inferiority complex under the chair.

Occasionally when I saw the hole in the sole of the shoe while playing, I was cramped for a moment, and I couldn't find a dark place to hide for a moment.

Guo Hongjing likes to play with dolls with his friends, and he uses the old clothes that others gave to their family. Some clothes are too small to wear, so they can be used to make doll clothes.

Guo Hongjing thinks of many styles and sews many skirts in one afternoon.Sometimes there is cloth to make some shoes. The doll is very small, and her feet are also small. It is really difficult to make shoes.

It needs to be small and delicate, but it doesn’t look good every time. I don’t know what to use for the sole, so I can only wrap a cloth around the foot, and then sew it along the way. My eyes are very focused.

There are many needles and threads for sewing, thick and thin, and thin needles are the most difficult to thread.The two eyes are cross-eyed, and the end of the thread is bitten down with teeth, and finally the thread is tied together with saliva, so that it can be easily inserted into the needle hole.

Sewing small skirts is also particular. There are many types of skirts, including suspenders, longer skirts, shorter skirts, double-layered and single-layered skirts.

Several people sew dolls together to see who can sew better skirts.This is a competition that cannot be lost.

The head of the doll is made of rubber, but for the dolls that cost a few dollars, there is only hair around the edge of the hair, and the inside is almost empty. Guo Hongjing will use thick needles to thread various colored threads to make hair for the doll.

This project is not small, and it can be completed in one afternoon. During this period, the most troublesome thing is to cut the thread with scissors and tie knots inside the doll's head, where the doll's head is squeezed at the neck.

Once, Guo Hongjing heard friends say that there was a doll in a place that could talk, and Guo Hongjing was terrified. How could a doll talk? It’s impossible. That doll could talk like a human. That doll must be a ghost, possessed by a ghost. On the body of the doll.

Guo Hongjing had a bit of doubt on his face, but he still decided that a few friends must muster up the courage to find out the truth.

When they got there, the dolls were gone, "There are no talking dolls at all, you lied to me," the friends all said they had seen it.

"It must be that the doll saw us and ran away, afraid that we would destroy her." The other friends came to this conclusion after thinking for a long time.

"In case it's a talking advanced doll, it's the same as a talking toy phone," Friends, look at me, I look at you, I think this thing may be true.

"Then we missed a high-end doll. Someone must have picked it up. It's too much. It's a pity that we saw it first."

Guo Hongjing also wanted to see what the high-end dolls looked like.Is it as delicate as it is done on TV?
"That doll is so beautiful. I have never met it before. It just has no head. If I had a head, I would have picked it up back then,"

Fan Hua sighed.At this time, Guo Hongjing no longer wanted it, and his scalp felt a little cold.

After I went back and told my mother, my mother said, don’t pick it up if you see this kind in the future, you will be caught by a ghost. This is an ominous thing. The doll has no head, which is too ominous.

In the future, if you see this kind of thing, you will leave immediately. Guo Hongjing will keep this sentence firmly in his heart, and there is another voice in his heart, I also want a delicate doll.
