Inherit the family's old shop

Chapter 19 The Old Cripple's Letter

"Master." When I saw it anxiously, I stretched out my hand and was about to crawl over. The old cripple said that this was a desperate way, but he didn't say that it was a way that could kill him. If this is the case, I would rather enter I can't afford to pay back that red coffin, such a big favor!
I rushed over in three steps and two steps, and the half-open door was already half closed. I hugged the old cripple's waist and was about to drag it out, but in the blink of an eye, I actually hugged a small waist in front of me. Son, looking up, there is a playful smile on a pretty face, mother, I fell, this is actually that little Huadaner.

I was covered in cold sweat in an instant, and I stepped back desperately, but the hands I was holding were like knots, and I couldn't untie them. At this moment, I suddenly heard a cough next to my ears, and the back of my head was thumping. It hurt suddenly, "Gua Wazi, you fucking want to sleep here!"

I suddenly opened my eyes, dream, what was just now was a dream, there was a wasteland in front of me, there was no little girl, there was no old cripple, thinking of what the old cripple said, I couldn't help but feel scared again, this is just It was time to take a nap, and I almost fell into the hands of that little Huadaner, this dream is too evil!
I was just about to stand up when I suddenly felt pain in my legs. I looked down and said, I’m going. It went out tens of meters.

I breathed a sigh of relief, if it wasn't for the smoking pot in the old cripple's dream, I guess I would have to go back to the old house again in this dream.

I staggered to the front, and there was a painted wooden rooster standing in front of it, about a foot high, with one foot on the ground and the other raised high, with a pair of majestic corns looking at the bridal chamber. My rough language can describe it.

On the neck of the wooden rooster was the package that the old cripple gave me. The pair of long johns under my body was rubbed to pieces, and my legs were bloody. When I opened the package, there were indeed a lot of things in it. The old cripple was really thoughtful. , not only have clean clothes, but also dry food, water, and a little change outside. They are all ready, and there is something in the innermost part. I took a look and it turned out to be a small coffin, a bright red coffin. , three inches long and one inch wide, with two carved "Dian" characters at both ends.

I put a cushion on my hand, which is very light, and there seems to be nothing inside. This should be regarded as a souvenir from the old cripple. After all, I have traveled all the way, and I am afraid that I will never have a chance to meet again.I put the things in the package and put on my clothes, but when I was done I touched my pocket, it was hard, and when I took it out, there was actually a letter.

As soon as I opened it, it was written with a beautiful calligraphy brush, with my name signed at the beginning.

"Son, when you can see this letter, it means that you have walked out of the old house. I, the old lame, have to congratulate you first, and earn your life back with God. Remember, don't worry about me, old man, after so many years I'm all here, those ghosts can't do anything to me, and don't thank my old man, because this life is earned by myself, and I have to carry it by myself wherever I go.

"The matter of the old house is actually not over yet. You may be wondering why I spent so much time building Yinyang Bridge and Huangquan Road to send you out. Here, my old man will tell you clearly. In fact, it was the first time you When you entered the red coffin, your ghost had already been left there by that ghostly girl, without this method of stealing the sky, your ghost would not be able to get out."

"The road back is the worst thing for you to do. No matter what happens, don't be surprised. There are some things that you can't figure out now. Remember, don't worry about anything, it's serious to go home thing."

"Everything has a beginning and an end. This old house should be the beginning of your life. As for the end of your life, my old cripple can't tell the truth. It's not for nothing that my old man said you have an expert in your family, because your life
After writing this, a letter came to an abrupt end, and the last sentence was not signed. The last sentence of the old cripple made me feel empty. My life. What happened to my life? The old cripple didn’t say anything. The feeling of stopping made me feel very uneasy.

I picked up a one-foot-sized rooster. Although it was made of solid wood, it was not very heavy. The old cripple said he would give me one when he went home. This painted red rooster was his wish, and I couldn’t leave it in this wilderness. field.

I still remember the direction back to the train station, the distance is not too far, I hurriedly walked all the way, and in about half a day, I arrived at the train station.

The train station has always been the most chaotic place, full of traffic, noisy crowds, and people of all kinds. This is also a good time for thieves to attack. Last time, it fell into the hands of thieves, which led to the chaos in this old house. A series of evil things, I have to be more careful on the way back this time.

Carrying a burden in my arms, it’s not a shameful thing to carry a burden in this day and age, walking through the crowd at the train station, I remember what the old cripple said to me, there will be someone to meet me at the train station, and I’m indispensable I thought to myself, [-]% of them are people from the coffin shop of the Cheng family.

I looked back and forth for a long time, but there was no familiar face. At this time, it was already past noon, and I fumbled for some change in my pocket. It was not much, at most enough for me to eat instant noodles on the train a few times. In fact, it was more I still had to rely on the dry food in the package. I was really anxious to wait. I thought I might as well buy a train ticket with the change, but just as I walked a few steps towards the ticket gate, a man bumped into me suddenly. I staggered and almost fell headlong.

The man said sorry in a hurry, turned his head and walked away. He was wearing a gray cloth coat and this pig ear hat was on his head. Hearing the human voice, it was light and agile, like a girl's voice, and it sounded a little It sounds familiar.

I nodded my head and didn't pay attention, but when I was about to leave, I suddenly realized something was wrong. There was a train ticket embedded in my chest with a pin. This person...could be delivering the train ticket to me.

As soon as I looked up, the man had already walked more than ten meters away, so I quickly called out, "Girl in front, wait a minute!"

As soon as the man heard me speak, his pace suddenly became much faster, as if he wanted to avoid me on purpose. People always have curiosity. When I saw this, I hurried towards the girl. I thought of saying thank you in person, and by the way let her say thank you to the old cripple for me. This is a basic courtesy of being a human being.

But when I chased her all the way out, the girl plunged headlong into a box. I know this kind of alley, they are all narrow alleys, and there are many turns and turns inside. Arrived.

I quickly quickened my pace and walked into the alley, but as soon as I turned the corner, there was no one in it. This narrow alley is the easiest place to hide people, and I would probably be thrown away after turning a few turns.

I can't find the person, so I can only walk back slowly, thinking about that voice, light and agile, and the familiar feeling is getting stronger and stronger. I seem to know this person. There is no need for any evidence, just It relies on human intuition, which is completely intuition.

With doubts in my mind, I entered the train station and passed the ticket check all the way. I didn’t have an ID card in my pocket, but when I went in, I touched my pocket and found an ID card. It's mine, and the old cripple has no plans to spare. This is considered to be as good as the sky, and he can even get this.I was happy in my heart. Although I knew that [-]% of it was a fake, it should not be a problem to go home. Thinking of this, I became more and more suspicious of the identity of the person who gave me the ticket and ID card just now.

Back in the 90s, they were all green leather cars that squeaked along the way. The ticket sent by the old cripple happened to have a seat. At the age of 80, his hair is already translucent white, especially the tuft of beard under his chin, which is completely white without any variegated color. It really looks like a fairy.

A young man in the back was chatting and laughing with his girlfriend, and he seemed to be fiddling with something in his hand, but I didn't pay much attention to it.

The old man squinted his eyes. I didn't pay attention to it, and I didn't bother to bother me. I sat on the side by myself. It's been more than five o'clock since last night, and my stomach has been empty for a long time. Take out some dry food, eat it while drinking cold water.The old man next to me suddenly moved his nose together and glanced at me leisurely.

I turned my head and looked at it, and smiled, the man also smiled, without much communication, and then still squinted, I heard people talking and laughing behind me, so I couldn't help but take a look, I was happy when I saw it , what the young man is holding is actually a nine-link ring, watching the young man play with it, it should be more than half untied, but this thing actually has a way, sometimes it seems to be untied, but it is often the last link that takes you Stuck there, sometimes it seems that I can't figure it out, but it is often broken at one point. Playing this thing, I am most afraid of falling into a dead end.

While I was eating dry food, I watched this young man play Jiulianhuan. It's all these things, but I haven't played it for so many years, and I don't know how much I can recall.

The young man got the last link and got stuck there after all. He complained for a while with a sad face, his girlfriend giggled happily, and I couldn't help interjecting while eating dry food, "Dude, you're playing this game wrong!"
