Inherit the family's old shop

Chapter 119 The Bald Old Man
The woman was stunned for a while as she spoke, and said with a bit of melancholy, "The crops are depleted, and the water source is slowly drying up. Many people in this village died because of that disease. I have found some monks How many times have Taoist priests and priests exorcised evil spirits done this, it still hasn't stopped, it's so hard to do anything, anyone who is younger and able to walk will go out!"

The woman glanced at the dilapidated houses around her, and couldn't help frowning. I turned my head and asked, "Listen to what you said. This village was destroyed because of an ancient tomb!"

"Almost. That's what the village chief said. He is a capable man, and he is also a weirdo. As for his origin, no one knows. That is, after the accident in the village, he came to this village. I settled down here, but at that time the village was already dilapidated, and there were not many people left in the whole village. Even if they were there, they were all like Uncle Wang, who were either injured or disabled, and few of them were intact. But thanks to him, he did some tricks in this village to stop the momentum. By the way, there was that grumpy old man from Mangshan back then. He was also a weird person. Because of this, I owe you Mangshan favor!"

Hearing her talk about Mangshan, I didn't explain anything. In fact, I have nothing to do with Mangshan now. As I was talking, I was at the end of the village. Not far away, there was a small area. In the woods, there are only a few old dead trees left, scattered and scattered. Looking at it from a distance, a thatched house stands there alone. Looking at the house, it feels a little more popular.

The woman knocked on the door and yelled twice. The room was quiet for a long time but no one answered. I felt something was wrong. If there was no one, I would not be able to leave tonight. The woman yelled again Twice, no one answered, and her face didn't look very good. If there was no one, I could only take a detour. According to what this woman said, I wouldn't take this shortcut even if I was killed.

But I glanced at the room through the small window, and I was stunned for a moment. There was light in it, which was very vague, and it looked like a lit cigarette. It was a little bit brighter, and at this moment I could clearly see that there was someone in the room.

"There is someone in this room!"

I just yelled, and watched a cigarette in that room light up for a few seconds, as if the person inside took a deep puff of cigarette, so I hurriedly yelled, "Master, we Just come over and ask the way, can the head of the west of this village go there?"

The cigarette light in the room was still on, and there was still no response in the room for a long time. I was stunned for a while, and when I was about to reach out and push the door to go in, there was a long voice from the room, "Don't go, go back." Come on, save your life!"

I frowned when I heard this, "Master, can you explain it more clearly? I have something urgent to do. If I make a detour, I'm afraid it will be too late. Please give me some advice on how to get there!"

I watched the little spark in the room suddenly go out, and at the moment of a thought, the door creaked and opened, and as soon as the people in the room showed their heads, I took two steps back in shock. The old man also looks old, with thinning hair on the top, but looking at his face is very energetic, especially the pair of sharp eyebrows above the big eyes, which makes him look a little more heroic. It feels like looking at Zhong Kui in a painting.

The old man stared at it for a few seconds, then opened his mouth and said, "Let's go, if you can't make it through, you can't make it through. There are so many questions to ask. It's better to take a detour for a few days than to lose your life here!"

"Go back. You also tell the old men in the village on the way. Let them not worry about this time. After a while, you will pass by yourself, and let them stop wandering around!" the old man After finishing speaking, I turned my head and was about to close the door to thank the guests. Just as I was about to take two steps forward to ask a few more questions, the broken wooden door closed with a bang.

This bang sound made me stupid, the old man was really weird, but the moment he entered the door, looking at his sparse head, the old weird words suddenly popped up in my mind, The bald man looked at the sparse top of his head. Could this be the bald man in the old weird mouth? I glanced sideways at the woman. She also said that the old man settled things in this village. People who have mixed up with Mangshan, don't they say
Dongdongdong. I was stunned for a moment, and quickly reached out and knocked on the door a few times, "Master, you open the door, we are from Mangshan. Mangshan beat ghosts and whipped people to let me come here. Here are his things!"

The moment my tone just dropped, the door creaked open and the old man drifted past. It felt like a ghost suddenly appeared. I was so startled that I couldn't help but take two steps back, the old man My son stared at me with a pair of straight eyes, and a pair of upside-down vertical eyebrows directly twisted into a Sichuan character. This suddenly seemed to add a bit of anger, and my heart skipped a beat. After meeting an old friend, it was like meeting a life and death enemy.

The sharp eyes stared at me for a few seconds, and the old man suddenly said, "Where are the things, bring them!"

I spoke straightforwardly. I looked into those eyes and didn't dare to hesitate. I hurriedly handed the letter in the bag to the old man. The old man took the letter slowly but didn't open it directly. He stared at the envelope, Suddenly, there seemed to be a bit of reminiscence on his face, he was stunned for a few seconds, looked up at me, and then slowly opened the letter!

The old man looked down at the letter. Facing the faint moonlight, the handwriting on the letter was barely readable. The old man glanced at the first article and immediately turned it over. I know this. There were not many practical meanings in my words, but looking at the second piece of paper, the old man's expression became more and more wrong.

The slits of the eyes were slightly narrowed twice, the sharpness appeared, but in the next moment, he felt a little bit sad, he was either happy or sad, and suddenly he seemed to laugh, but his face was full of sadness in the blink of an eye. Although I can see the face clearly, but the meaning in it makes me a little confused. The weird person is definitely a weird person. Just this face with mixed joy and sorrow can mix the meaning of sorrow and joy so much at this moment. Most importantly, I am afraid that he has also experienced some unforgettable things in his past.

He read this letter for a long time, and it was short of less than a thousand words, but he stared at it for more than half an hour. I have read the meaning of that letter, and there is actually nothing meaningful, but It feels like he is chewing every word in it carefully, chewing out a different taste!

More than half an hour passed, the old man slowly put away the letter, folded it neatly, and handed it to me with both hands, I looked at him more kindly, feeling that the old man's Attitude seems to be much better!

"Come on. Come in, let's talk!"

The old man said something softly, and stretched out his hand to signal for us to enter the room. I turned my head and looked at Chen Hanbiao and the woman. Chen Hanbiao was fine, but the woman looked at me with indescribable surprise and astonishment. It can be concluded that she is probably because of the old man's sudden change of attitude!
Entering the house, the room was dark, and I could still smell a faint smell of tobacco just after entering the house, the old man lit a small oil lamp, facing the flame the size of a pea, I looked around the room .

The furnishings in the room are very simple, a pair of simple tables and chairs, and a horizontal bed, but behind the horizontal bed is covered by something like a mosquito net. How dare you look around.

The old man stared blankly at the back of the bed for a while, then sighed deeply, and then heard the old man muttering a few times, as if he was talking to something behind the bed.

After a while, the old man turned around and pointed to the chair for me, and told me to sit down. The old man sat in front of me, his expression was a bit more solemn, and I felt that he seemed to have something to say to me. .
