Chapter 105 105. Ghost Street Second Cobbler

After lunch, Lin Wu went back to deal with some chores, and was ready to go out at 04:30 in the afternoon.

Both Bo Yuting and Lu Guichi wanted to go with them, but Lin Wu wanted to refuse, but after thinking carefully that they would follow without delay, he agreed.

And the ghost street is not actually in Jingzhong, but in the suburbs of Jingzhong.

The three of them drove for more than two hours, and stopped at the entrance of a deserted path in front of a certain mountain in the outskirts. There were still many cars parked around.

After the three of them opened the door and got out of the car, they headed for the small road on the left.

Lu Guichi clicked his tongue and said, "It's been a long time since I've been here. I didn't expect that Ghost Street is still in such a place. If outsiders see this, they might think that they encountered ghosts."

Lin Wu instantly realized the loophole in his words, turned to look at him and asked, "Have you ever been to Ghost Street? How do I remember that your brother Lu Guiyan strictly forbids you to go?"

"Uh..." Lu Guichi laughed dryly, "Well, I do some business occasionally, it's all small business, don't tell my brother!"

Lin Wu suddenly looked at him with an expression of "I knew it was like this", then turned around and continued walking.

At the beginning, the surrounding area was still very quiet. After half an hour, there was light behind the hilltop not far away, and there was a seemingly absent noise.

The three of them quickened their pace and quickly went around, a road suddenly opened up in front of them, with an arched gate in the mountains and forests at the end.

There was a dilapidated sign directly above the door, and when you approached it, you could see the words "Ghost Street" written on it, and there were several people guarding the door.

The three turned their faces and walked over.

The few people noticed them, and because they didn't hide their faces, they recognized them at a glance, and they immediately showed surprise, and hurried forward to say hello: "Ninth Master, Second Young Master Lu, and..."

They moved their eyes to Lin Wu and paused.

Bo Yuting and Lu Guichi are very famous in Beijing, it is really hard not to recognize them.But Lu Qing was wearing a big hat, and when he lowered his head slightly, the brim of the hat almost covered most of his face, and he was dressed in black, so they really couldn't see anything.

Lin Wu slowly raised his head to reveal his face.

The pupils of several people shrank slightly: "It turns out that you are the apprentice of the second cobbler, Gu Hong. Please forgive our stupid eyes, I didn't recognize you just now."

Lin Wu raised his chin slightly and said, "I have something to do with my teacher, can't I enter now?"

"You can enter, you can enter! If you come, of course you can enter!" Several people quickly stepped aside.

Lin Wu and the others walked in, and when they were a little farther away, Bo Yuting turned to look at Lin Wu, and said with a half-smile, "Guhong? It was the one who became famous in the ghost street casino, and then followed one after another. Is it an orphan who has won several dealers in the casino, and the bet is a sky-high price, so that the underground casino directly refuses to accept the other party's business?"

Lin Wu raised his voice calmly.

Lu Guichi groaned, "I've heard of it too, so it's you?!"

"Well, until I met the second cobbler and lost in his hands, I seldom come here after that." Lin Wu said lightly.

At this time, they walked through a forest path, and the trees on both sides of the road were tied with dark light strips for lighting.Going to the front and going around, I saw the official entrance of this place, and there were people guarding it.

They encountered the same situation at the entrance outside in the past, and the other party took out their masks respectfully.

Wearing a mask is a tradition in Ghost Street. It is designed to facilitate the transaction of goods and money. It is in response to the saying "Once you leave your hand, you should not be held accountable." Neither the buyer nor the seller knows who the other party is, and it means that there will be problems or accidents in the future. , and could not find the other party.

After all, most of the items that can be traded in Ghost Street are not obtained through normal channels.

Of course, for a person whose reputation is so great that people can recognize it at a glance, this mask is useless. It can only serve as a function to prevent people from tearing their faces and pretending to understand.

After entering, the voices of people hawking and selling were noisy.

Not far away is an old abandoned and dilapidated building area. At the moment, the lights are brightly lit, and there is a constant flow of people between the floors of the building.

In the large open space in front of the old building, there are many scattered vendors setting up stalls. A green lantern hangs in front of each stall, swinging, and selling everything at a glance.

Guests wearing masks like them shuttled through it, and they were relatively normal among them.

A person who passed by them recently, if you look carefully, you will find that the other person's pupils are different colors, wearing Miao clothes, and there is an abnormal rancid smell all over his body.

People passing by on the other side even had poisonous snakes wrapped around their bodies, hissing and staring at passers-by.

There are not a few such strange people, bustling and bustling, the inexplicable and strange light reflects the dark sky, presenting the ultimate grotesque.

The three of them walked forward without being surprised, passing through the crowd to the distant building area, looking at the scattered stalls while walking.

Some were selling all kinds of ghost objects, some were selling unnamed talisman paper money, and there were also unknown strange altars, where there were all kinds of movements, and I don't know what kind of living things they were.

Not long after, the three of them arrived at the edge of the building area and stopped in front of a tailor shop with a red light hanging at the door and relatively little traffic.

The door of this store was half-closed, and through the crack of the door, it could be seen that the inside was dark and there was no light, as if it was not there.

If you look carefully, you will find that people passing by are respectful and far away from this place.

"Did the person outside say something wrong, the second cobbler isn't there?" Lu Guichi whispered.

Lin Wu shook his head: "He must be there."

"How can you be sure?" Lu Guichi asked curiously.

"Because every time I come, he seems to have predicted it in advance, waiting for me early." After Lin Wu said that, he went forward and opened the store door.

Lu Guichi looked at Boyu Court, and after receiving a nod from the other side, he also followed.

Pushing the door open, the air inside is filled with the musty smell of fabrics that have not seen the sun all year round.It was also pitch black, and nothing could be seen.

Lin Wu familiarly groped to the base of the wall on one side, and pulled down the hanging electric light cord. A dazzling white light appeared instantly, causing the three of them to unconsciously close their eyes to relieve it.

When he opened his eyes again, Lu Guichi let out a terrified scream, turned around and jumped on Bo Yuting's body to hug him.

Because as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw an enlarged version of his pale and bluish-skinned face, and his eye sockets were sunken. The dark circles under his eyes caused by not sleeping well for a long time were obviously tired, and his whole person was even more emaciated. It's like being sucked away by spirits.

Rao Lin Wu's eyelids twitched, "...are you terminally ill?"

"WOC? This is the second cobbler??" Lu Guichi was shocked, he remembered that the second cobbler didn't look like this.

Bo Yuting came back to his senses, pulled Lu Guichi off his body with a dark face, and then looked at the person in front of him to size up.

The other party actually looked quite young, probably in his early 30s, but Bo Yuting knew that the second cobbler would actually be 60 or [-] years old.

A hoarse voice sounded slowly: "Everyone changes. Guhong, you haven't been here for so long, I've changed, why is it so strange?"
