ghost craftsman

Chapter 201
Listening to the woman's words, I stared at her back, a very ordinary back, this kind of back can be seen in any village.

However, what she said made me completely dumbfounded.

Some time ago at the train station, Lin Fan asked me to write three numbers, and told me to be careful about the person surnamed Xie.

And the woman just glanced at me and said the same thing.

What is this... this... this woman's identity?
Why are you willing to stay in this country?

Gradually, the woman's back was completely swallowed up by the night, leaving Zi Yangtao and I staring at each other.

It took a full minute before I came back to my senses, looked at the flashlight and umbrella in my hand, and felt as if I had knocked over a bottle of five flavors, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty.

"Brother Chuanzi, what does that woman mean by telling you to be careful about people surnamed Xie?" Zi Yangtao suddenly pulled me and asked in confusion.

I replied that it was nothing, and looked in the direction the woman left.

"Are you all right?" Zi Yangtao asked again.

I let it go, said again that I was fine, and tightened the umbrella and flashlight in my hand.

"By the way, Brother Chuanzi, do you think that woman is sick? What kind of umbrella did she give us this night? Look at the night, there is no tendency for it to rain at all." He took the umbrella and said doubtfully.

I was about to speak, when it was still a moonlit night, suddenly there was a loud thunder, and then the bright moon was gradually swallowed up, and in an instant, heavy rain fell from the sky, as if the sky had collapsed, and the overwhelming sky slanted down.

In the torrential rain, the two of us held our umbrellas, neither of us spoke, and stared straight at the direction in which the woman left.

After touching it for about 3 minutes, I slowly turned around and walked forward, Zi Yangtao followed beside me.

Walking, walking, Zi Yangtao seemed to think of something, and asked me, "Brother Chuanzi, do you think that woman is too amazing?"

I understood what he meant, he was referring to the woman who gave us umbrellas.

To be honest, before the rainstorm, I also wondered why the woman would send an umbrella inexplicably.

It wasn't until the rainstorm that I understood what the woman meant. She probably wasn't just giving us umbrellas, but was also hinting that I shouldn't have his son's idea.

Of course, I didn't say this to Zi Yangtao, but walked forward with a sullen head.

In the rainstorm, the two of us walked along the road towards Dongxing Town, while Ziyangtao kept muttering the same two sentences, roughly:
Damn, that woman is too amazing!
Let me go, that kid actually looks so much like you.

Amidst his mutterings, the two of us walked for two full hours before reaching Dongxing Town. I don’t know if it was a coincidence or what happened. The moment we arrived in Dongxing Town, it was still raining The sky stopped suddenly, and the bright moon appeared again in the sky.

According to my idea, go to Dongxing Town and find a hotel to stay.

However, Zi Yangtao said that Dongxing Town has always been xenophobic, and there must be no hotels in this town, so he proposed to find a random family and give some money to stay.

As soon as I thought, what this guy said made sense, so I glanced around, and found that there was a shop not far from us with lights on, and a truck was parked in front of the shop, presumably it was unloading goods.

We both walked over immediately.

Before reaching the edge, I was stunned immediately. The reason is that I found that the truck was not goods, but people. The most important thing is that I knew the people on it. They were all shops in our Nanping Town. The craftsmen, even Master Fan from the paper making shop were among them.

What the hell, what are they doing in Dongxing Town in the middle of the night?
That Zi Yangtao seemed to have noticed this situation too, he immediately pulled me, pointed over there, and said angrily: "Fuck me, these old things are not staying in Nanping Town, why are they all coming to Dongxing Town?"

I glared at him, signaling him not to speak, but I was stunned, rolled my eyes, and walked forward.

When I walked to the shop, I found that the shop was a tombstone shop. The shop was not very big, about [-] square meters, and the shop was full of uncarved flat monuments. The owner was a man in his sixties. The old man, with white hair and childlike face.

Seeing me, the boss was startled for a while, then looked at me for a while, and said slowly: "Young man, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?"

I replied with a smile, came to have a look, then turned to look at the paper maker Fan who was next to him.

When Master Fan saw me looking at him, he smiled and didn't speak.

At that moment, I walked towards Master Fan and said with a smile, "Master Fan, what is your boss doing here in the middle of the night?"

He smiled and said softly: "No reason, just drop by."

I was taken aback, drop by?

Come to visit in a van in the middle of the night?
What a liar!
I suppressed the doubts in my heart, and chatted a few words with Master Fan.

During this period, I chatted with some other bosses and craftsmen in Dongxing Town, all of which were insignificant.

After talking for about three or four minutes, I told them about asking them for help.

The first one to speak was Master Fan, who said: "Dongchuan, I'm sorry, someone promised us 1000 yuan per person, and there is really no way to help you. By the way, you came to Dongxing Town to find all kinds of people, right? My advice to you is, don’t look for it, in the six towns around Nanping Town, most people who are engaged in all kinds of things have been given 1000 yuan, and absolutely no one will help you.”

Hearing this, I almost jumped up, someone was ahead of us and bought them off.

This made me exclaim and asked, "Who?"

Master Fan frowned slightly, and said softly, "I'm sorry, we didn't see anyone. We just received a note and 1000 yuan. There was only one simple sentence on the note."

"What?" I asked hurriedly.

He looked at me and said word by word: "One thousand can buy righteousness or life."

Upon hearing this, before I could open my mouth, Master Fan said again, "Dongchuan, for the sake of the town, let me send you a word. You'd better not interfere with the matter of the mausoleum."

"Why?" I subconsciously asked.

He smiled and said: "That's the eighth housework. If you go in as an outsider, there are only two results, either dead or half dead, nothing else."

After saying this, he walked straight into the tombstone shop, and then other people followed into the tombstone shop.

After they entered the store, the owner of the tombstone store came over, patted me on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Young man, the world is big, and the human heart is bigger than the world, don't do things that are thankless. "

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked into the shop, closing the shop door slowly.
