"No reward for no merit, even if I offer you some incense in the future, it won't be worth so much money. If I take your things randomly, I will be punished by the Grandmaster..." I have not washed my hands since I went to the toilet, and I was punished by the Grandmaster. When things didn't work, Fang Yunhe paid special attention to his aspect.
I am afraid that if I make a mistake, I will be given an additional "sentence".
Wang Dekun didn't refuse anymore and said a very low price. It was so low that I felt that he was almost giving it away for free. It was just because Fang Yunhe casually mentioned an auspicious number.
18888!
For less than 20,000 yuan, we can buy a store of nearly ten square meters. It’s like pie in the sky...
You know, Yuncheng is a second-tier city and a famous tourist city. Every inch of land here is at a premium, let alone a funeral street with such a large flow of people.
Fang Yunhe's eyes were so excited that his eyes were red, and he was about to make a decision immediately, but I was muttering in my heart, always feeling that this old man handled it too casually.
If he is really like what he said, how can he be willing to sell such a precious "old friend" at such a low price?
I came out of society early, and I was chased for my life since I was a child. It is inevitable that I will be dark and wary in my heart, and I always have a bit of persecution paranoia.
I tugged on Fang Yunhe's sleeve and signaled him not to agree in a hurry, and we would discuss it when we went back.
Wang Dekun seemed to see my concerns and finally told the truth. He took out a small box from the sandalwood cabinet behind him.
Suddenly, a delicate fragrance filled the room. This was actually a very precious golden nanmu carved wooden box!
"I have been waiting for someone all my life. That person promised to come here to find me. I know she is still alive, but she still refuses to show up. This is what I promised to give her back then, as long as she can Come, it's not too late, but... I can't wait that long..."
The main reason why Wang Dekun chose us, besides being able to worship him, is that we are people of faith and we will definitely do what we promise him.
"I heard about Mr. Fang from Old Li Tou. I know that you are the most trustworthy and righteous person. You have a very good character. I, the old man, don't trust others but only you. I will hand over this shop and this wooden box to you." No one would be better off leaving it to you..."
Mr. Wang spoke sincerely, and the more he spoke, the weaker he became. I knew that he did not have much time to stay.
He repeatedly promised us that he would invite the neighbors and Lao Litou to come and witness that he had voluntarily sold the shop to us. He only asked us to keep our promise and guard the shop here until the woman came.
While I was talking, I had already imagined a super sadistic life-and-death love affair in my mind.
I'm very curious, how gorgeous must the woman Mr. Wang loved be in those days, so that he could never forget her and keep her alone for the rest of his life?
"Then how do we know who is the person you are waiting for?" I asked.
Wang Dekun's eyes were blurred, and he looked at the ceiling with a smile: "She... is from the Miao border like you. She has an iris tattoo on her wrist, which is easy to identify..."
iris!
Every drop of blood in my body stagnated instantly, and I was so shocked that I couldn't breathe.
Is this a coincidence?
No! Absolutely not!
I asked him what the woman's name was and where she was now.
Wang Dekun sighed: "Some people call her Yinshuang, some people call her ghost mother, and some people call her grass ghost woman. She told me... her name is Hongdou. There is not a word of truth in her mouth, but I take it seriously... …”
He said that he met the Hongdou girl with the iris tattoo on the Yuncheng Pier.
She was dressed in colorful Miao clothes, with her hair in a small bun, with iris flowers on her head, and a string of silver tassels. She looked like a Miao witch from an ancient book, and she instantly captured his heart.
"She is very mysterious and doesn't want to tell me anything, but as long as she says it, I will believe it. Back then she said she was here to look for someone, and I took her in. But in the end, she knew everything about me, but I didn't know her. Don’t know anything…”
Back then, this Miao woman named Hongdou asked him to prepare a betrothal gift. She would come back when he was ready, but... she never appeared again.
Wang Dekun has been waiting for her all his life!
"That's all. She is willing to go to all the trouble to lie to me, which proves that... I am special in her heart after all." Wang Dekun grinned, with an innocent smile on his wrinkled face.
I frowned. Is this Wang always under the spell of love?
The top love brain is nothing more than that.
Seeing my face full of disdain and confusion, Mr. Wang gave me a meaningful look: "Girl, when you meet the person you like, you will know that the bitterness he gives is also sweet..."
I was so frightened that I stepped back three feet. This old guy is a love brain, and he still wants to PUA me?
"Mr. Wang, today is different from the past. In the past, cars and horses were very slow, letters were far away, and there was only enough time to love one person in a lifetime. Now the world has changed, and I don't want to be like Wang Baochuan who spent eighteen years digging wild vegetables!"
When I said this, the figure of Jiang Lanyue flashed in my mind unconsciously.
Isn't the love between Wang Dekun and Hongdou just like me and Jiang Lanyue?
Jiang Lanyue is full of secrets and knows everything about me, but what about me? Nothing is known about him except that he holds a Zanpakutō.
If one day he abandons me like Hongdou, where will I find someone?
Not to mention waiting for him all my life, I will lose if I wait even one more day.
I gathered my thoughts and said to Wang Dekun: "Mr. Wang, as long as you are happy, you don't need to worry about me..."
Because of Iris, I applaud Fang Yunhe with both hands this time to take over this store.
Witnessed by the neighbors, we both voluntarily signed the sales contract and went to the Government Affairs Hall to transfer the ownership in the afternoon.
The moment I got the real estate certificate, I felt it was so unreal.
Fang Yunhe told me not to think too much. If the sky falls, he will be the one to carry it. His name is written in this house book.
On the way back, we were thinking about how to tidy up the store and make it simple again. Fang Yunhe suddenly answered the call from Lao Litou, and his face darkened instantly.
"Okay, I understand. Let's take care of his posthumous affairs!" Fang Yunhe hung up the phone and said to me sadly: "Old Li Tou said that Mr. Wang has left..."
In fact, Wang Dekun has long since exhausted his efforts, and has been hanging on to his life with secret skills, hoping to find someone destined to inherit his last wish, waiting for the woman named Hongdou.
As soon as we took over, he left with peace of mind.
"I heard from Old Li Tou that Mr. Wang left peacefully and was getting a massage on the massage chair at home. When his servant found out, he immediately informed Old Li Tou."
I couldn't help but sigh. Sure enough, I guessed it right. Mr. Wang had indeed come back to his old days.
"He has no descendants, so we should take care of his funeral." I said.
"But where is your cousin's aunt..." Fang Yunhe asked hesitantly.
"The deceased is the most important, you go take care of Mr. Wang's funeral first, and I will handle the underworld marriage."
We discussed taking action separately so that neither party would be delayed.
Seeing that he was about to leave, I thought of Hongdou and quickly asked: "Taoist Fang, can you do me a favor?"
