Mysterious Resurrection

Chapter 55 The Messenger and the Player

"What's wrong?" Lu An knew that Lin Changsheng must have discovered something, and immediately approached

"The black palm print is outside the window. It seems that someone put his hand on the window last night, and then observed the movement in my room." Lin Changsheng looked scared.

"Didn't you feel something wrong in the room?" Lu An asked doubtfully
Logically speaking, if it is a supernatural power, it is impossible for Lin Changsheng not to feel it at all, he himself is a ghost master

"No, I just suddenly found a handprint on the window"

"It's pointless to continue to struggle, just pay attention at night, the skinny old man just came over, let's go over for dinner"

"Do you dare to eat?" Lin Changsheng asked
"I should be able to eat it, but I still don't eat it. Anyway, we have food with us."

Lu An and Lin Changsheng pushed open the door of the main room and went out. The yard was dilapidated, and the skinny old man was sitting on the grass. He turned his head and saw Lu An and Lin Changsheng coming out, and quickly stood up.
"Go, I'll show you the way"

Lu An and Lin Changsheng followed behind the skinny old man, and they came to the center of the village, where the theater building was built
Lu An and Lin Changsheng could smell the smell of meat from a long distance away. When they approached, Lu An frowned. How could such a remote and backward village have so much meat?

At this time, there was a whole pot of meat stewed in an iron pot, and the aroma of the meat came to the face, and the soup was stirring so that Lu An couldn't see what kind of meat was in the pot.

Lin Changsheng naturally also saw the problem, and he tentatively said, "Grandpa, I'm really sorry for your inconvenience. Stewing so much meat will cost you a lot of money, right?"

The thin old man smiled even wider when he heard the words, "This is for entertaining distinguished guests, how can we usually be willing to eat meat?"

"Yeah yeah"

"You are all distinguished guests in the village, so naturally eat more"

The villagers around the stage sang together, and both Lu An and Lin Changsheng felt a feeling of difficulty getting used to it.

As soon as it was dawn, Brother Long and the others yelled at the sleepy old man. Although the old man deliberately refused to sleep for a while, he had nothing to complain about when he thought he had charged 30.

In this way, a group of five people embarked on the mountain climbing road. The old man originally thought that these people might have the same means as the previous two people, so that he could relax a lot.

The mountain road is already difficult to walk, and with the large temperature difference between day and night, it can be said that it has suffered a lot along the way. The four messengers are okay, but this old man who is nearly [-] years old is pitiful.
The old man wanted to thump his waist after walking for a while, and secretly vowed in his heart that he was going to take a good rest after earning the money.

I earned a full 40 yuan from two trips to the mountain, which is enough to support me for the rest of my life. The old man has nothing to worry about. If I want to say something, it is only Widow Liu who has a close relationship with me in Pingzhen.

When the old man is free, he will help Widow Liu. The pension and more than half of the money he earns are subsidized to Widow Liu. Widow Liu also knows how to be grateful and manages the life of the old man in an orderly manner.
The old man thought about spending the rest of his life with Widow Liu, but Widow Liu's son and daughter were unwilling, saying that it would be embarrassing to spread the news

The old man thought that when he finished earning 40 yuan, he would give 10 yuan each to Widow Liu's son and daughter, and leave 20 yuan for himself and Widow Liu for retirement.
"I said, old man, when will I be able to arrive?" Zhou Wenshun said
"It's going to be faster and faster, and then we can climb over this mountain, it's almost the same, plus our speed is not slow, it's not far away," the old man explained

"Wen Shun, you carry the old man on your back, let's hurry up"

Brother Long naturally hoped to deliver the letter as soon as possible, and there was also a time limit for delivering the letter. If something happened that prevented the letter from being delivered within the stipulated time, all four of them would die.
"Okay..." Zhou Wenshun is naturally aware of the current situation. Li Qin has made sacrifices before, so naturally he cannot avoid it
Immediately, Zhou Wenshun carried the old man on his back, "I will carry you on my back, old man, you can show us the way"

After about an hour, the four of them could already see the town in the distance, Zhou Wenshun put the old man down
He was very tired along the way, but he didn't feel anything for his own life.

"It's still exactly the same as it was decades ago." The old man looked at the small town in the distance

"Old man, since the road has been found, you should go back first, and you should be able to return to Pingzhen before it gets dark," Peng Fang said.
Peng Fang naturally knew that this town must be weird, if the old man went in with them, the probability of being alive was not high

"I went to rest my feet, and said that I haven't been here for decades, so I miss it."

Seeing that Peng Fang couldn't persuade the old man, she didn't intend to persuade him any more, and she had already reminded herself that it's hard to persuade the damn ghost
Lu An looked at the pieces of meat rolling in the iron pan, without the slightest appetite, but the smell that wafted out made him unable to hold back his saliva, not to mention Lin Changsheng who was beside him, he was about to drool

"Bring the bowls," the skinny old man ordered, and soon a villager took two bowls and scooped meat and broth from the pot
"Lord Lu still has this little brother, don't be shy."

Although both Lu An and Lin Changsheng were tempted by the aroma of the broth, they still knew what to do and what not to do.
If eating meat or drinking broth is the medium, or there is something wrong with these meat and broth, they will all be planted here
"We won't eat, and we have already eaten the dry food we brought, so I'd better get ready for the performance as soon as possible." Lu An explained apologetically

"That's it, okay then." The smile on the thin old man's face froze, but he didn't say anything.

Lu An pulled Lin Changsheng into the back of the stage. As he expected, there were no villagers from the town behind the stage.

It's just that what the two of them didn't realize was that after the two of them turned and left, the smile on the face of the skinny old man was a bit weird, as if some purpose had been achieved

Lu An and Lin Changsheng might have triggered some kind of medium just now, but they didn't think of it for a while.

"Brother Lu, what should I do when you perform on stage? Do you just watch?"

"Then what do you want to do? Come on stage with me?" Lu An asked back
"It's not impossible"

"I think so. There is a rule in opera that once the performance starts, it cannot be stopped, and the singers cannot stop halfway," Lin Changsheng explained.

"There is indeed such a statement, you continue to say"

"The other side is people, three sides are ghosts, and four sides are gods. In this world, there are only ghosts and us who control ghosts. So the correct answer to this sentence is "one side is people, seven sides are ghosts."

"So you want to talk about recruiting ghosts?" Lu An interrupted
"It's almost the same meaning, and there is indeed such a saying in opera, the people listening to the opera are not necessarily human," Lin Changsheng said.
"So you're going so far, does it have anything to do with your going to the stage?"

"Think about it, the singers on the stage recruit ghosts, but they should not be attacked by ghosts off the stage, so the stage should be safe."
