Watching Wu Tinghan walking straight from the main road onto the path, watching her figure getting further and further away, I came back to my senses and hurriedly followed with my backpack on my back. It should have been the last time I went out, she was there too. Her family had eaten powder, so she knew I was out.
Wu Tinghan didn't even look back and started talking, "Did you talk to her last time?"
I was stunned and said a little frustrated, no.
Before I went to eat powder last time, I was scared to death by that paper man. How could I be in the mood to talk to people?
She said, since there was no such thing, and there were so many people eating fans at her house every day, how could she keep an eye on you alone, not only knowing that you had gone out, but also being so sure about it? You want money but not money, and looks but not looks, why should she pay so much attention to you?
I started to feel guilty, and I told her that maybe she saw me while I was sleeping in the bus station waiting room, so she knew I was out.
Wu Tinghan snorted disdainfully and said, do you usually sleep standing up?
I know what she wants to say. Although there are windows in the waiting room of the bus station, if the people inside are not standing, people outside cannot see it at all. Moreover, I fell asleep until I got on the bus and never moved around at all. Unless the proprietress entered the waiting hall, she would never notice my presence.
But the proprietress has to look after the store at home, so how can she run to the waiting room without any trouble? Unless there was someone important to her in the waiting room, she had to make a trip.
I finally compromised and accepted my fate, so why did the boss lady care so much about my movements?
Wu Tinghan shook his head and said, this is what I want to know too, so I asked you if you are familiar with her.
No wonder Wu Tinghan asked so carefully before. It turned out that the key was to find out this matter.
But I know the proprietress of this noodle shop at best, but I'm not close to each other. Why does she know so much about my movements?
Could it be that...she is going to be bad for me?
Wu Tinghan shook his head and said, Oh, if I really wanted to do something bad to you, do you think you could have woken up in the waiting hall?
I was shocked when I heard this and asked her hurriedly, "What does it mean?"
She said, since the boss lady is so sure that you have been out, she must know that you were waiting for the bus in the waiting hall, right?
I figured this out just now. Unless the proprietress had entered the waiting hall, there was no way she would know that I had been out. So I nodded and said, yes.
She went on to say, in this case, she can think of a way to wipe off a little bit of the coil on your wrist while you are asleep. By then, do you think you can still wake up?
Hearing this and recalling the original scene, I immediately broke into a cold sweat.
It is true, as Wu Tinghan said, if the proprietress has any thoughts, my life will be in danger.
Now I was completely confused. I said, since she pays so much attention to me, it means that she probably knows the secret about me, but if so, why didn't she attack me?
Wu Tinghan snorted and said, you ask me, who should I ask?
I was stunned when I heard this and looked at Wu Tinghan in disbelief, saying, is there anything else you can't figure out?
Wu Tinghan said, I'm not a god. Isn't it normal that I can't understand some things? Unlike some people, it's okay if he can't figure out most things. The key is that he has been given all the clues and still doesn't notice it. It's a miracle that he hasn't been scared to death in the past few days!
I knew that some of the people she was referring to were me, and I couldn't refute this at all, so I quickly said, "I think you are all the best among men, and there is nothing that you can't figure out."
Wu Tinghan didn't take this trick, his face was expressionless, he just snorted and said, "Not only can't I figure this out, but what I can't figure out even more is why the boss lady obviously has a pair of craftsman's eyes, but she doesn't have the whole body." But there is no trace of craftsmanship at all.
I couldn't understand it again, so I hurriedly asked, what is craftsmanship?
She asked me, "Do you know why Zhang Hazi's craftsmanship was destroyed in one day?"
Let me tell you, didn’t I look at a coffin that I shouldn’t have looked at five years ago?
She said, that's just the cause... Forget it, you don't understand even if I tell you. Let me ask another question, do you know why we craftsmen are skilled in craftsmanship?
I related the context and asked her tentatively, "Is it just because of this craftsmanship?"
She nodded and said, "There is no craftsmanship. Even if you learn all my handprints and formulas, the things you come up with are just similar in appearance. Although it may have some effect sometimes, it can be said that it is far from the real effect of craftsmanship." Thousands of miles.
It turns out that there are so many ways here. This is the first time I have heard of it.
So I asked, so Zhang Hazi lost his craftsmanship after looking at the coffin, and this led to the destruction of his craftsmanship?
Wu Tinghan nodded, but then shook his head and said, I said, that was just the cause. He also encountered some things later, and that was the real reason why his craftsmanship disappeared and his craftsmanship disappeared.
I asked hurriedly, what happened?
She gave me a cold look and said coldly, "It's not something you should know, so you'd better not ask."
I have seen Wu Ting look cold and icy, but I can guarantee that this is definitely the coldest look I have ever seen on her.
Her face was covered with frost, as if the whole world was frozen, which made me shiver even under the sun.
But this also makes me more curious. What else happened to Zhang Hazi after seeing the coffin that made Wu Tinghan so secretive.
In order to ease the cold atmosphere, I had to change the subject and ask, is there any difference between the eyes of you craftsmen and those of us ordinary people?
She said, then why do you think the boss lady knows your secret?
I thought about it, and the only secret about me is this damn luck. so……
Let me tell you, can you craftsmen see how much luck other people have?
Yes, that must be the case!
That's why Mr. Wang described me as a torch in the night, which would appear particularly bright in the eyes of craftsmen; that's why I was targeted by Wu Tinghan as soon as I appeared in Laosicheng; that's why after I woke up from Laosicheng, the ship The boss said that even if my luck was blocked by Wu Tinghan using Border Border Painting, I can still see the luck flowing...
Wu Tinghan said, if you want to understand it this way, that's fine.
So, the reason why the landlady pays so much attention to me is because her eyes saw my luck?
And Wu Tinghan judged these series of things based on a sentence that the landlady accidentally revealed?
Damn it, I really want to know if the craftsman has a smart chip installed in his brain! Otherwise, how could Wu Tinghan catch such a small detail so easily?
Wu Tinghan ignored my excitement and just walked forward on his own. I followed her, and after thinking about it for a while, I asked her, "Don't craftsmen's eyes need the blessing of craftsmanship?"
She said, logically speaking, it is necessary. That's why I feel strange.
I smiled and said, what's so strange about that? Maybe she used some special craftsmanship to seal all her craftsmanship?
She said that it was not impossible, but the key question now was not why she lacked craftsmanship, but why she appeared in your town in good condition.
I didn't understand what she meant. What's so strange about this? Is it necessary to cut off the limbs?
She didn't answer me, but asked me, do you remember why your grandfather changed his appearance?
Let me tell you, Mr. Wang said he was trying to escape the disaster fifty-five years ago. But now it seems that he is not only trying to escape the world, but also cheating God's luck.
Wu Tinghan nodded when she heard this, then she looked at me and said, no matter what the reason is, as long as the boss lady is here, your grandfather will not choose to settle in your village.
I was confused and asked her, why?
She told me, tell me, you must have played hide and seek when you were a child, right? When playing hide-and-seek, would you choose to hide in a crowded place, or hide in a place where no one is hiding?
I was stunned for a moment, and then I understood what she meant.
What she means is that if my grandfather really wanted to hide from the disaster fifty-five years ago, in order to ensure his absolute safety, with my grandfather’s character of calculating all the traps, he would definitely find a place where there are no craftsmen to hide. stand up.
Let me tell you, maybe they hid it very well at first and didn't notice each other?
Wu Tinghan said that even if he didn't discover it at the beginning, in ten years, as long as he is not as stupid as you, he should have discovered it anyway. In this case, everyone was in danger during those ten years. Once they discovered that there were other craftsmen, they would have run away as far away as possible. Why did they stay until now?
Let me tell you, maybe my grandfather arrived first, and then the boss lady came later?
She said, it's impossible. With your grandfather's character, he will definitely be extra careful about outsiders. How could he not discover the true identity of the landlady?
Let me tell you, maybe the proprietress was a local from the beginning, so my grandfather didn't notice it?
Wu Tinghan still shook his head and said, if he didn't notice, there are so many noodle restaurants in your town, why did your grandfather only take you to eat noodle restaurants in that one?
A loud bang suddenly exploded in my head. I never expected that the heartwarming scene of my childhood, falling into Wu Tinghan's mouth, would become part of my grandfather's plan!
So, my grandfather kept taking me to that noodle restaurant to eat noodle, just to test the true identity of the proprietress?
And he has been refusing to be a fan, is he worried that the boss lady will attack him?
No, it's impossible!
I can't accept this assumption at all!
By chance, it must be just a coincidence!
That must be it!
Wu Tinghan snorted and said, if it was just a coincidence, why would Wang Minghua stay in your town for most of his life?
I didn't understand what she meant, so I hurriedly asked her, "Why do you say that?"
She said that the carpenter Wang's surname comes from Henan, and the "Hua" in the Xuanhua Chengliu generation of the Ming Dynasty is the least capable among the four, but he can still be regarded as one of the four heroes. He is willing to work with you. I have been living in a small town for most of my life. Do you think this is a coincidence?
I was speechless by her question, and I couldn't find a reason to refute it, not even an excuse.
Wu Tinghan continued, not only that, but your grandfather has been in front of that boss Nian so many times over the years, so boss Nian must have noticed something weird about your grandfather. For a person without craftsmanship, your grandfather's luck is a great tonic.
She paused, as if to give me a little time to buffer, and then continued, so now you understand why the boss lady shouldn't show up in your town in good condition, right?
Although I didn't want to believe it, I still responded to her, saying that in my grandfather's eyes, she was an obstacle that could not be circumvented in the process of passing on his luck to me. With my grandfather's character, there is no way he would have allowed her to live well until now!
Wu Tinghan said, but the fact is that your grandfather is dead, but she is still alive! Not only did she not attack your grandfather, she also didn't attack you. She might even have helped you in the waiting room. Otherwise, with Wang Minghua's modest skills, Moxian Soul Locker would never have been able to last that long.
I was completely confused by Wu Tinghan. I said, since my grandfather’s luck, or my current luck, is a great tonic for her, and we are not related to her. , why doesn’t she attack us?
This is a question I asked Wu Tinghan before, but she didn’t know the answer before. But from the conversation just now, I could sense that she seemed to have guessed something.
Wu Tinghan still didn't answer me directly, but asked me, do you think, with your grandfather's ability, it would take seventeen or eight years to test a person?
I'd say it shouldn't be necessary. What do you mean by asking?
She said, since there is no need, why did your grandfather take you to her place to eat rice noodles when you were so young, and for 17 or 18 years?
I haven't thought about this problem, and I don't want to turn the warm memories of the past into my grandfather's scheming temptations.
So I asked her directly, why?
She shook her head and said, I'm not sure yet, but I thought of a possibility.
I asked, what is possible?
She said, do you think that your grandfather's behavior of taking you to her noodle shop to eat noodle every once in a while is like a rule?
My body began to tremble, but I still asked her, "What are the rules?"
She said it categorically, word for word, a rule that requires you to report to the designated police station regularly while you are on parole!
