More than a month has passed since the "Faceless Demon" incident occurred.
During this month, everything was calm in Lexiang County and even the entire nine counties of Xiangzhou, and nothing special happened.
During this period, Gu Ning'an spent most of his time in the yard deducing where the graves of Shi Yi's wife and children were.
But even if he held Shi Yi's blindfold, he could only deduce a rough position by turning it over and over.
In desperation, he decided that after settling the matter in Lexiang County, he would go out to find the whereabouts of his student's wife and children. Fallen leaves return to their roots, even if Shi Yi's body is gone, he still has to send Shi Yi's blindfold back...
Snap!
After taking out the home-made wine that Mr. Hu gave him, and filling two bottles, Gu Ningan went straight to the City God's Temple with the wine bottle in hand.
Today is the last day of the old tailor's life, and Gu Ning has to accompany this old friend to death.
After walking through the streets and alleys, Gu Ning'an arrived at the back door of the City God's Temple in about the time it took to burn a stick of incense.
At this moment, there are many people in the Chenghuang Temple, so it is easier to find people at the back door.
What's more, he also greeted Xu Chenghuang in advance, and the other party also ordered someone to summon him and asked him to wait for Tailor Ma at the back door.
"Mr. Gu, you are finally here!"
As the hinges of the old wooden door squeaked, the ajar back door opened, and a middle-aged man of medium height and dark skin walked out quickly.
Gu Ning'an couldn't help but be startled when she saw the person coming.
The person who came was indeed "Lao Ma Tailor", but he did not appear in the form of a soul, but in the form of "boarding"!
However, this host body is of course not a living person, but a clay figure similar to a Dharma image.
To make such a body for Tailor Lao Ma, not to mention it is illegal, but also the materials and means required are very trivial and troublesome.
Gu Ning'an looked around at Tailor Lao Ma and said with a smile: "Okay, Lao Ma, you are really doing well in the underworld. Lord City God dares to give you such convenience."
Tailor Lao Ma said "Hey", and while waving his hands, he came closer to Gu Ning'an and whispered: "Let me tell you, this is all for your sake, otherwise Lord City God would have troubled Baal gave me such a body?"
Hearing this, Gu Ning'an smiled and glanced in the direction of the back door, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Lord City God. I will send Tailor Ma back on time."
Seeing no one responded for a long time, Tailor Ma also pulled Gu Ning'an and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go. This is a favor, and it's careless. If you thank people like this, they won't admit it."
Gu Ning'an smiled and said: "I've been taught a lesson. Why did I ask you to wait at the back door? It turns out that you really used a back door."
"Hey, just know it in your heart. As for this favor, sir, please don't take it to heart..." At this point, Tailor Ma lowered his voice and said: "This favor is on my account, and I will return to my soul later. Heaven and earth don’t care about his mother’s human feelings, don’t you think so?”
Gu Ning'an smiled and shook his head: "You, you, you are still smart!"
Tailor Lao Ma raised his hand and said, "Thank you for the compliment, sir!" Gu Ning'an waved his hand and said, "Let's get down to business, where do you want to go?"
"Then naturally I'll go to the tailor shop and have a look." As he said that, Tailor Ma touched his cheek and said, "My son shouldn't recognize me if I look like this, right?"
Gu Ning'an nodded: "It's completely different. As long as you don't tell the truth yourself, he will naturally not recognize it."
"Sure, let's go!"
…
"Auntie, your waist is quite thin. If you put on this material, you will instantly look ten years younger!"
"Everyone is welcome to take a look and choose as he pleases...the materials from a tailor shop with good craftsmanship are definitely the best in the entire Lexiang County!"
"Hey, this brother, he is a woman's material, you can't..."
The season has changed recently, and the business of Good Crafts Tailor Shop is quite good. Although Ma Mingcai, who is looking after the shop alone, is in a hurry, he always has a smile on his face.
Outside the shop, Gu Ning'an and Tailor Lao Ma stood side by side under the same roof. Tailor Lao Ma came with a smile on his face and said: "This boy talks so much, but when the time comes, his skills will be better." Damn it, don’t destroy our sign!”
Gu Ning'an patted Tailor Ma on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, it's the last day of this life, let's go and see it again."
"Hey! The one who knows me is Mr. Gu!" After replying, Tailor Lao Ma just took a step forward and turned around again: "Mr. Gu, please don't come over now, otherwise, I'm afraid this guy won't be able to take it. Treat me, this new customer, with a normal heart."
Hearing this, Gu Ning'an nodded slightly: "Okay, I'll wait outside."
Tailor Lao Ma gave a silly laugh, then straightened his clothes and strode towards the tailor shop.
Looking at his serious way of walking, Gu Ning'an couldn't help but smile and said: "I have changed my appearance and am back to my home tailoring. Now I am even more nervous."
On the other side, Ma Ming had just finished greeting a guest. He saw tailor Lao Ma walking in and greeted him two steps: "Hey, this guest is a stranger. I'm here today. Do you want to customize or choose ready-made clothes?" ah?"
Hearing this, Tailor Lao Ma touched his stubble and asked, "Do you think I'm suitable for custom-made clothes or just ready-to-wear?"
"This..." Xinjue met a difficult customer. Ma Mingcai did not directly answer Tailor Ma's question. Instead, he led the customer to the junction of ready-made clothes and cloth, and then said: "Your Majesty, sir. Look, among these materials, which ones do you like?"
After just a glance, Tailor Lao Ma picked up a short coat and asked with a smile: "I think this dress is good, do you think I can wear it?"
Since he was here to "make things difficult" for his son, Tailor Lao Ma specially chose a coat that was similar to his own body shape but would definitely not fit into it, just to test his son's eyesight.
"Your Majesty, of course you can wear this dress now, but I see that your arms are thick, and you must be diligent in exercising..."
Having said this, Ma Ming took the short coat and continued: "If you really like it, I will help you change it a little bit."
Learn how to advance and retreat in a moderate manner... Tailor Ma showed a smile of relief and patted Ma Mingcai on the shoulder: "Forget it, I'll just take a look. You're a good boy. This tailor shop is in your hands. At least it's not bad." The sign outside the door will be smashed."
"Uh..." Ma Ming was speechless for this somewhat familiar yet weird compliment.
When Tailor Lao Ma saw this, he didn't say much. He just said "Let's go" and quickly walked out of the tailor shop.
Ma Mingcai unconsciously followed a few steps up, and then stopped at the door. After hesitating for a second, he raised the short coat in his hand and said, "Sir, next time you come, you can try on this short coat." , I changed it and put it away for you."
Hearing this, Tailor Ma didn't look back, he just waved his hand behind him as he walked...
