Chapter: 58
Yongjun Road is an old road in the county town. There are basically no houses with more than three floors, and there are few storefronts. You can see twos and threes of old people playing cards together.
I'm relatively familiar with everything in the county town where I went to school as a kid, so I quickly found a funeral supply store.
This funeral supplies store is a relatively large store in the county. It not only sells things, but also takes care of the whole process of funerals. The owner of the store seems to be an aunt in her forties.
"Boss, I want to inquire about someone."
I glanced at this forty-year-old female shopkeeper, who was quite fat and had a slender face, and instinctively felt that the shopkeeper was not a paper tie man surnamed Jiang. As soon as I entered the shop, I asked.
"What are you asking?" The forty-year-old female shopkeeper looked up at me.
"Excuse me, is there a paper maker named Jiang in the county seat?" I asked.
A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the female shopkeeper, and then she pointed to the outside and said, "Go straight out, turn right at the first intersection, the last house in the dead end."
I'm a little surprised, do you really know?
Immediately afterwards, I immediately thanked: "Thank you boss."
But at this time, the female boss laughed. She just smiled normally, but the fierce Hengrou made her laugh extremely weird. She only heard her say, "Little brother, are you familiar with that person?"
"I'm not familiar, I want to ask him something." I said.
"Listen to the advice from the eldest sister, don't go to the unlucky person for the important thing." The female owner of the funeral supplies shop said meaningfully.
I was taken aback: "Why?"
"Do you know why he lives in the last house in the cul-de-sac?" said the female boss.
I shook my head.
"That's because everyone doesn't want to get close to him! Whoever gets close to him is dead, whoever gets close to him, who has an accident at home! This person is a well-known disaster star in our circle of ghosts, if it weren't for his excellent paper craftsmanship, Otherwise, no one wants to deal with him!"
The female boss spoke quietly.
I took a breath and was a little stunned, but I believe that my uncle will not hurt me. Since he asked me to find this paper maker named Jiang, it will definitely not be bad for me.
But then again, although the female boss in front of her is fierce and fierce, but looking at her face, she is not a person who is bluffing and alarmist.
"Thank you ma'am."
I can't take care of this much anymore. Even if this paper maker is a murderer, I have to find him. He is the last hope for cracking the Lihuo Fu crime array!
After saying goodbye to the female owner of the funeral supply store, we went straight to the location she gave.
But when Jin Jiuer and I entered the alley she mentioned, we were both stunned.
"Junior, there should be no one living in this kind of place?" Jin Jiu'er said.
The hutongs in front of them are full of old houses that no one lives in, and several of them only have frames left. I'm afraid no one will come to this kind of place every day.
And the paper maker surnamed Jiang lives here?
"Go and have a look first." My heart beat faster.
When Jin Jiuer and I were about to go in, an old lady passed by us.
When I saw this old lady, my eyes widened immediately, and Jin Jiu'er, who was beside me, seemed to feel something, and took a sharp breath.
And this old lady didn't pay any attention to us, she just kept going forward. After a while, it disappeared, and she didn't know where she went.
"This is..." Jin Jiu'er said strangely, as if it was the first time he had seen such a thing.
I nodded lightly, I didn't see much of this kind of thing, and there was a slight fear in my heart.
After that, the old lady didn't appear, but her passing made my heart go to my throat.
The last house in the cul-de-sac is relatively normal compared to other houses that are too dilapidated to live in, but it is also very limited.
This house is completely black and dark. There are only two floors. The second floor doesn't even have a window, only a red curtain is drawn.
It's clear that the renovation of this house was intentional, but I can't see why, and there's no trace of it.
"Excuse me, is there anyone?" I knocked on the closed door.
After a few minutes, the door squeaked and slowly opened.
What caught my eye was a pale-faced boy, that's right, a boy!
The boy looked younger than me, like a high school student, but although his face was immature, his eyes were unusually vicissitudes, like those seen by people in their 70s and 80s.
"I'll look for Mr. Jiang Zhijie." I smiled kindly, thinking that this was the apprentice or son of the paper-jigger.
"I am, come in."
Unexpectedly, the young man in front of me actually said this sentence that shocked me.
"Are you Mr. Zhazhi, whose surname is Jiang?" I asked one more question, not sure, right? The person my uncle asked me to find turned out to be a boy who looked younger than me?
I don't look down on young people, but to crack the magic circle, I don't think it's possible to know without a lot of feng shui experience.
The boy nodded.
Once again affirmed, I glanced at Jin Jiu'er next to me. Even though there were ten million people in my heart who couldn't believe it, I still whispered: "Then let's go in."
Facing a living person, no matter how weird he is, Jin Jiu'er is not afraid, but this time, Jin Jiu'er doesn't seem to be as bold as before.
I'm a little surprised. These days, I also have a general understanding of Jin Jiu'er. She can keep calm in the face of any strange things. I have long regarded her as a person on the same level as me. When she saw the old lady, Jin Jiu'er saw her identity, but she wasn't afraid, why was she afraid when she came here?
But in the end, Jin Jiu'er walked into the house with me.
However, when we stepped into this room, Jin Jiuer and I both stopped, and I felt a chill down my spine.
The whole house is covered with dozens of colorful paper figures, big and small!
The faces of these paper figurines are blank, and only one paper figurine has a face.
It was this paper figure with a face that shocked me. The paper figure was lifelike and very realistic. It looked like an old lady. I have seen this old lady, and it was the one who just passed by me. old lady.
"Old age, right? You wait a moment, I'll finish my work first." The boy named Jiang said to me, then sat on the only chair in the house and continued to use the paintbrush. , scissors to process this paper man with a face.
Jin Jiu'er's body leaned towards me unconsciously. I glanced at her and found that her eyes were full of panic.
I seldom see Jin Jiu'er showing such a young daughter's attitude. When I faced Yan Zilong, who was taken up by a snake fairy, Liu Siyun, who gave birth to a snake baby, and even the weirdness in the village yesterday, I didn't have anything to do with Jin Jiu'er. Jiu'er felt such a strong fear.
I originally wanted to stay away from Jin Jiu'er, she was almost completely stuck by my side, but seeing her weak appearance, I couldn't bear it, and my body didn't move.
After waiting for about ten minutes, the young man seemed to have finished what he was doing. He stood up and looked at Jin Jiu'er.
Jin Jiu'er shrank again, as if she didn't dare to look at the boy, she shrank towards me again.
I don't know why Jin Jiu'er is so afraid of the young man in front of me, but a man's desire to protect is very strong. I took a step forward, blocked Jin Jiu'er, and looked at the young man with a smile.
The young man gave Jin Jiu'er a deep look, then glanced at me again, and then put the paper figurine he just made aside.
He took out a towel, rubbed his hands, and said softly, "Ten years, it's been ten years."
I was shocked. Others couldn't understand what the young man said in the fog, but I could understand. The uncle said that my parents exchanged their lives for my safety for ten years. Did the young man mean ten years? this?
"Master Daoyan asked you to come, right?" the young man continued.
But his words made my eyes widen.
Master Daoist? Did he call my uncle my uncle? Who is his master?
"You... who are you!" I was a little excited because a guess popped up in my mind!
"Who am I? Chen Nian, I am your father's only apprentice!" JrNovels.com
