ghost craftsman

Chapter 18 Gaocun (adding more for coriander)

Hearing what I said, Li Chengze seemed a little reluctant, so I didn't say anything and just looked at him quietly.I heard from senior brothers before that this is the way we are in this business. The price is set by ourselves. Whether we can accept it or not depends on the owner himself.

When Li Chengze was thinking about it, Mo Qianxue came over and gave me an annoyed look, "Luo Dongchuan, for the sake of my classmates, can't it be considered cheaper?"

I glanced at her, and although she was very beautiful, in this matter, it doesn't mean that she is cheaper if she is beautiful, so I replied softly, "No!"

She seemed to be annoyed by me, glared at me again, and said, "It's cheaper for you, and I'll copy your homework for you in the future."

I smiled wryly and did not speak. Frankly speaking, I am not focused on studying now. To put it bluntly, what is the purpose of studying? , I'm quite satisfied, it looks a little bit of a godsend, but the most important thing is that the income is good, and it can make others respect me.

Seeing that I didn't speak, Mo Qianxue was a little anxious, as if she wanted to say something, but was stopped by Li Chengze next to her, and Li Chengze said: "Money is not a problem, but I don't know how sure little brother is?"

I was taken aback and fiddled with him for a long time. He was worried that I would not be able to handle that matter, not that he thought I wanted too much money. If he had known, he would have asked for more.

However, I was content with 1 yuan, so I said: "You can go to your house and try it. If it doesn't work, I won't take any money, and I will return the cigarette to you."

I say this, it is our ghost craftsman's rule, if things are not done, the ceremony must be returned.

Of course, since I dared to ask for 1 yuan, I was naturally somewhat cautious, so I agreed with Li Chengze to visit his house after class tomorrow. Asking for leave from school is not the end. More importantly, my seniors used to ask for leave for me. I was afraid that if I asked for leave by myself, I would be directly rejected by the head teacher.

When Li Chengze saw what I said, he didn't insist, so he led Mo Qianxue away, and I sent them to the door of the coffin shop, said a few goodbyes, went straight back to the second floor, and fell asleep with his head in his arms.

The next day, before the gate of the campus, I heard many students muttering there, saying that Wang Yangming tore down his stool to beat Zi Yangtao a few times, and some people said that Zi Yangtao deliberately tore down Wang Yangming’s stool to give Wang Yangming got off his horse, and some people even said that Zi Yangtao was playing tricks, and his main purpose was to have a showdown with Wang Yangming to decide who would be the leader of the second and third classes of high school.

For this kind of words, I just ignored it and didn't care much.

When I walked into the classroom, I could clearly feel that the eyes of Wang Yangming and Zi Yangtao were not right, especially Zi Yangtao, with a large circle of white gauze wrapped around his head, and a stool leg on the desk, staring at Wang Yangming viciously, while Wang Yangming Staring straight at Zi Yangtao, it gave people the feeling that a master's move, a look is enough.

What I didn't expect was that although the two of them hated each other so much, they didn't fight at the end of the day. I found out after inquiring that the two of them were gathering people and agreed to have a fight on a lawn behind the school this Saturday. The decisive battle, what I can't let go of the most is that before school was over, the two of them found me and said they wanted me to be a notary.

I almost didn't break down, so I refused immediately, how could I know, they didn't listen to me, Zi Yangtao said to me, "The boys in the second and third grades of high school are either my people or those stupid people. Now that you don't stand in line, who will do it if you don't become a notary? Of course, you can choose to refuse, and the consequence of refusing is that the two of us will beat you every day."

Lying down, I'm definitely lying down.

However, what Zi Yangtao said is true, the boys in our class are indeed in line, either with Zi Yangtao or with Wang Yangming, and I am the only student like me who can survive the mud one.

In desperation, I had no choice but to nod in agreement, tidy up and prepare to go back to the coffin shop.

Right after I walked out of the classroom, Mo Qianxue followed me all the time, presumably because she was afraid of being seen, she kept a distance of ten meters from me.

When I returned to the coffin shop, Mo Qianxue immediately followed and said to me, "My uncle said, let me take you to their village."

I hummed and asked her to wait for me at the door for a while, then I went back to the coffin shop to find the toolbox my brother usually used.

Speaking of my brother's toolbox, it is actually a wooden box with a strip of canvas on the left and right sides, which contains some common carpenter's tools, a Luban ruler, a sawtooth, an ink fountain, a planer, a chisel Knives, etc., things like nails are not in this toolbox.

In the words of my senior brother, ghost craftsmen use nails to discredit the patriarch.

I roughly checked the toolbox, everything was there, changed into a set of worn clothes, and left the coffin shop with the toolbox on my back.

When Mo Qianxue saw the clothes on me, she frowned slightly, "Why are you changing?"

I smiled wryly, actually I also want to dress handsomely and go out to work, but the work done by the ghost craftsman is hard work, if you dress well, if it gets ripped or dirty, it will be very distressing.Wearing worn-out clothes is different, anyway, it doesn't matter if there are a few more holes.

At the moment, I didn't explain to her, so I let her lead the way.

Then Mo Qianxue told me that her uncle’s hometown is in Gaochao Village, about ten miles away from our town. It’s definitely impossible to walk there. You can only find a motorcycle. But then Mo Qianxue said again, men and women can’t accept it Dear, it is not suitable to ride a motorcycle.

Listen, when I was in high school, the girls were so innocent and meticulous, unlike the girls in high school now, pregnant and abortions abound.

In desperation, the two of us had no choice but to find two motorcycles and head straight towards Gaochao Village at high speed.

Speaking of this, there is one thing that needs to be mentioned. We ghost craftsmen usually come to someone’s door to make a coffin or something related to the underworld. We cannot walk with the help of external force. We must walk on foot to show our sincerity and respect for the ancestors. , If the journey is far away, you can use external force, but you can't get to the destination, you have to walk five miles on foot, and there is no such thing as visiting to help with things.

We wandered all the way, and in the evening, the two of us arrived at Gaochao Village.At this time, the sky was completely dark, and a round of bright moon slowly rose, casting endless moonlight, illuminating the ground brightly, making the entire Gaochao Village look like daytime.

I don't know why, but I suddenly felt a little uneasy, especially after Mo Qianxue pointed out his uncle's new house, that feeling became stronger and stronger.
