Fortunately, in the end, the male customer who suspected that Shen Xing was gay bought the wardrobe wood carving he had just made.
I also saw that the staircase wood carving that Shen Xing was making was very good, so I paid a deposit to reserve one.
After receiving the money, Shen Xing lamented that people nowadays are becoming more and more tasteful as their living standards rise. Being able to appreciate the wood carvings they made is a strong proof.
Today is the last day of work before the Jingji Festival. Shen Xing has even booked the high-speed rail tickets for tomorrow. After closing time in the afternoon, he will go back to pack his things and have a spontaneous trip home with Feifei.
After two o'clock in the afternoon, an acquaintance suddenly came hurriedly into the store - Zhuo Datong.
Zhuo Datong was sweating all over and was slightly out of breath. He came here by bus. After a bumpy journey from the suburbs, he finally arrived at Shen Xing's wood carving shop.
He was holding a bag in his hand, with the wooden carving of the mask wrapped in three layers inside and three outside.
As soon as he entered the store, Zhuo Datong took out the wooden carving of the mask and said anxiously: "Boss Shen, you can't trick people! I'm a retired old man who doesn't have much money at all. It's not worth it for you to do this. I can’t stand it if you sell it to me!”
Shen Xing was confused: "I don't understand what you are talking about?"
Zhuo Datong put the mask in front of Shen Xing: "This thing is an evil thing. My wife, my wife...forget it, I will return the thing to you, please return the money to me. You only need to return half of my money." , I, Zhuo Datong, will accept the rest."
"Wait a minute." Shen Xing was still confused. "Didn't your wife... pass away? What does the fact that I sold you a wooden mask have to do with her?"
Zhuo Datong stared at him, "You...you really don't understand? Or are you pretending on purpose?"
"I really don't understand what you are talking about?" Shen Xing spread his hands.
Zhuo Datong pointed at the mask and said, "Just because I bought this thing from you, something weird happened at home now."
"Tell me, maybe I know what's going on." Shen Xing walked out of the counter and poured a glass of water for Zhuo Datong.
Zhuo Datong was a little surprised. He stared at Shen Xing's eyes for a while and said, "Maybe you really don't know that your mask is very evil. I... my wife died just a few days ago. Her body... her body..."
Shen Xing was stunned for a moment: "Is there something abnormal?"
"Yes, there is something abnormal." Zhuo Datong nodded, "I asked knowledgeable people in our town to take a look, and they said it had a lot to do with this mask. It is an evil thing and cannot be kept at home."
Hearing this, Shen Xing smiled and shook his head, saying that the mask was an evil thing, which was impossible.
He knew very well that the production of the mask was completely integrated into his own skills, and no abnormal characteristics were incorporated during this period.
Moreover, my vision is far beyond comparison with others. Wood carvings with characteristics within them appear as the same dark shadow in my eyes, while wood carvings without characteristics are ordinary and have nothing at all.
What's more, he still has strange pupils. When he first had strange pupils, in order to test, he turned on the strange pupils and looked at every wood carving he made. As a result, except for the wood carvings that had absorbed the characteristics and showed a red aura on the surface, other hand-cloned The same wood carvings are completely normal.
At best, these hand-cloned wood carvings look more realistic and dynamic. This is because my understanding of the characteristics of the original wood carvings is naturally integrated into them during the carving process.
This is not an anomaly at all, or even remotely related to an anomaly.
Therefore, Shen Xing knew very well that the abnormalities in the Zhuo Datong family had nothing to do with his mask and wood carving. Otherwise, if the eye pupil wood carvings and wardrobe wood carvings were sold, someone would have come to damage the place long ago, and they would not have waited until now.
"Can you tell me specifically what happened to your wife's body?" Shen Xing asked.
Now that the other party has doubted his work, why is it necessary for him to prove his innocence? Otherwise, if his sign is ruined, will he still be able to do business in the future?
Zhuo Datong hesitated for a moment and then told what happened.
The more Shen Xing listened, the more surprised he became. He didn't expect such a thing to happen.
If the current situation occurs because of an abnormality encountered, rather than man-made, then this abnormality can be regarded as a new form of expression.
It's man-made because it's not impossible to lift the body out of the coffin. It won't take long for a few young people to move Jiang Guirong's body to Zhuo's house without anyone noticing. yard.
After all, those who are good at yard work can get in easily by digging around.
"Have you reported the crime?" Shen Xing asked.
"Report a crime?" Zhuo Datong shook his head.
After all, what happened was very strange, so he immediately thought of some fake corpse, haunting, etc., and wanted to find a knowledgeable person to deal with it, but he never thought about reporting the crime.
"Let's report a case first and let the sheriff check whether there are any footprints, fingerprints or suspicious signs of climbing over the wall around your yard." Shen Xing said.
"But then other neighbors will know that my wife's body ran out of the coffin! They will discuss it, make various speculations, and say that my Zhuo family must have done something against their conscience, and now they are being punished." Zhuo Datong was worried. road.
"Tell the Sheriff and they will deal with it secretly." Shen Xing suggested, "As for the wooden mask carving, if you have any doubts, you can leave it with me now. You can go back and have a look. If there is any problem at home in the next few days, Sure enough, everything is fine. I will take back the mask and refund you the full amount. But if something happens at home, it will prove that it has nothing to do with my mask wood carving."
After a pause, he reminded: "You have to know that I am in the wood carving business and I also value reputation. I do not allow any unfounded charges to be imposed on my works. I guarantee that the works sold in our store are all Clean and tidy.”
He left the mask at the audio shop, and Shen Xing gave him a handwritten receipt certificate. Zhuo Datong took the certificate and left worriedly.
In fact, from the bottom of his heart, he hoped that the mask was not an evil thing, but he also didn't want to see his wife's body returning home every morning.
He was going to do as Shen Xing said and asked the Sheriff to keep it a secret.
On the way home, Zhuo Datong took out his phone and dialed the report number.
"Hey, Mr. Sheriff, something strange happened at my house. Can you please come to my house and have a look..."
…
After seeing off Zhuo Datong, Shen Xing returned to the store, turned on the special eyes and carefully checked the mask wood carving, and found that it was still normal.
This thing is very ordinary in the first place, but its special feature is that it was carved when Shen Xing had extremely strong characteristic induction, which made the wood carving itself produce something similar to spiritual accumulation.
The spiritual essence is entirely based on feeling, and not everyone can feel it.
People who have a strong sense of this aspect, or people whose needs match it, will definitely feel that wood carving is extraordinary.
Next, Shen Xing is considering whether this spiritual essence can be integrated into every subsequent wood carving work. Of course, this refers to the wood carvings made by the anomalies he has encountered.
As for the fact that Zhuo Datong's deceased wife crawled out of the coffin and returned home, because she didn't know if he had offended someone, Shen Xing guessed that if someone hadn't deliberately played a prank, it was probably because the Zhuo family had encountered something unusual.
