The man's complexion improved a lot. After muttering a few words in a low voice, he got on the boat to do work.
I stopped pausing, turned around and walked towards Funeral Street.
I wasted a lot of time in the city, and by the time I returned to Funeral Street, it was already late at night.
The door of the paper shop was still open, and there was a lot of paper piled up at the door.
The person sitting behind the long table in the shop was actually not Xu Changlin, but Xuchanglin.
The light in the room was dim, and Xu Changlin was concentrating on making paper ties with his head down.
The paper bundles beside him were extremely strange.
Their material is as yellow as dead skin, and the empty eye sockets and slightly open mouths are even more profound and bottomless black.
I also noticed that these paper bundles were wrapped with steel wire.
"Brother Chang Lin." I paused for a moment in front of the threshold, calmed my breathing, and called him.
Only then did Xu Changlin react. He stopped what he was doing and put down an unfinished paper bundle.
He looked up at me, his eyes full of surprise, and stood up immediately.
"Brother Yin Yang, you're finally back. It's been almost three days, right?!" Xu Changlin walked around the table and came to me.
He looked me up and down, nodded repeatedly, and there was even more joy on his slender cheeks.
"The clothes are a bit torn and the energy is a bit low, but there are no other problems. In the past two days, I heard people on the dock say that you and Uncle Guishou deceived the Huo family, and you and Huang Qi were taken away and imprisoned. , and was beaten half to death! I almost didn’t go directly to the Huo family to ask for someone, my father told me it was a lie, and it was really a lie!" Xu Changlin was in high spirits, but there was a little doubt in his eyes, and he looked out. Take a look.
"Yin Yang, where is the pheasant? Why hasn't she come back?" Xu Changlin's words immediately made my heart suffocate.
My face changed slightly, I pursed my lips, forced a smile, and explained that there was a misunderstanding between He Fei and I, and she went home angry.
"This..." Xu Changlin scratched his head. He looked outside again and said, "It's better to have a misunderstanding than anything. It's good to go home. Call He Pheasant out later and I'll take you to see some fun." of."
I nodded in agreement, but I was not sure whether He Zhi would listen to my apology next time.
Xu Changlin motioned for me to follow him to the backyard, where his father was tinkering with something.
The two of them walked towards the door curtain.
As soon as I stepped into the backyard, I saw the old chicken flapping its wings under the old locust tree. As soon as it saw me, it ran to me and clucked twice.
Paperman Xu is currently making a wooden shelf next to the wooden table. It looks like a square basket with a white cloth wrapped around it.
I took a deep breath and called Uncle Xu in a low voice.
Paperman Xu raised his head, his eyes fell on me, and the expression on his face softened a lot.
I had a lot of questions to ask at this time, and I wanted to ask them right away.
The paper man Xu was the first to say: "Chang Lin, please let Yin Yang change into clean clothes first. After a short rest, I will put these things away." The paper man Xu also told me to tidy up myself first. Well, he's got all the news, so there's no need to be too anxious.
I immediately opened my eyes wide and my heart was pounding.
Xu Changlin took me to the room and took out some of his clothes from the cabinet for me to choose from. At the same time, he also told me that he had given me this room and he would live in another room. He would change his clothes later and let me rest. After a while, his father will have to do some work for a while.
I tried my best to calm my mind, and finally chose a gray cloth and held it in my hand.
Xu Changlin said with a smile that he would go out and let me change.
When he was about to leave, he glanced at the cloth bag hanging on my arm and said, "Don't show off your wealth." He asked me to try not to walk around with rewards in the future. There is chaos outside these days, and we are not afraid of dead people causing trouble. But when you meet those who are obsessed with seeking wealth, accidents are inevitable.
Only then did I react.
In fact, I was too anxious at the time and kept chasing He Zhi. I didn't even care about the package or what was inside.
After Xu Changlin reminded me, I quickly took down the cloth bag.
Only then did I realize why Xu Changlin said that wealth should not be revealed. I was just wondering how he knew what was inside.
Now I see that the cloth bag has been opened a crack, revealing a piece of large yellow croaker...
My breath was suffocated.
Xu Changlin had already left the house and closed the door. I put the cloth bag on the wooden table and opened it. There were three large yellow croakers inside.
My Adam's apple rolled heavily.
This Huo family...is such a big deal!
But then, my mood became more complicated.
Because I can see that Huo Kunmin wants to imitate Kong Qing and do everything possible.
Although his Huo family has a great business, no matter how rich the family business is, he is still afraid of soldiers carrying guns... If he wants to take revenge, he must kill someone.
In this case, whether it succeeds or fails, I am afraid that the Huo family will cease to exist...
At this time, I still felt sympathy for Huo Kunmin.
But for me, what can I do to help?
I carefully wrapped the large yellow croaker, opened the big black wooden box and put it in.
There are many small yellow croakers and a small amount of money in the box.
The possessions in this wooden box now are probably more than what my father earned in twenty years.
But I can't take all three large yellow croakers. Half of them belong to He Zhi, so I have to give them to her when I have the chance.
During this period, I saw another cloth bag in the big black wooden box, frowned and took it out.
Inside the cloth bag was the watchman's gong and chariot... I vaguely felt that this thing was a hidden danger, and I had to ask the paper man for permission.
After closing the big black wooden box, I changed my clothes, opened the door a little and took a look, and found that the paper man Xu was still busy.
I didn't go out to urge him, and went back to bed and lay down for a while.
Fatigue eroded my whole body, and I fell asleep half asleep.
This sleep is still uneasy, I feel like something is always staring at me...
When I woke up, I was confused at first because there was no paper tied beside the bed.
But soon I discovered that there were two paper bundles hanging on the beams. The empty eyes of the paper bundles were just looking down...
I picked up the cloth belt, pushed the door open and left the room.
It was daylight at this time, but it was cloudy and there was no sun.
The paper figure Xu was cooking porridge, while Xu Changlin didn’t know where he had gone.
I called Uncle Xu, and he looked back at me, then lowered his head and gave me a bowl of sophora porridge.
Before I could ask, Zhirenxu squinted his eyes slightly, first asked me to take a sip of the hot drink, and then said directly: "The information I have inquired about should be correct. I will detain you for fixing things in Lijia Village." My father and my second uncle’s Feng Shui master is named Wu Xianchang. He has a weird hobby and likes to collect corpses." My head buzzed, and my eyes suddenly became murderous!
I walked quickly to the wooden table. How could I have the energy to drink porridge at this moment?
"Where does he live? Does he have a wife and children at home?" I asked hurriedly.
