"It's coming, it's coming, don't worry."
I walked over with a playful smile.
Then he raised his hand and pointed it at Lao Cao's back.
Puff, click twice!
Lao Cao immediately returned to normal and was able to move freely.
He suddenly shouted.
"Hey, I'm such a thin old bone. Xiao Wu made me stand in this position with my arms twisted behind my back for so long. My whole body aches."
Speechlessly, I reached out my hand and squeezed his bulging biceps.
"Old Cao, your muscles are almost as hard as stone. What do you call a thin old bone? I think you can kill me with one punch."
Being a coffin bearer can be considered a strenuous job.
People with poor health cannot work as a coffin bearer.
So even though Lao Cao is almost sixty years old, his physical condition is better than that of many forty-year-old men.
Of course, they are still incomparable to those pallbearers in their prime, such as Daniel.
Seeing that pretending to be pitiful was of no use to me, Lao Cao laughed twice and dealt with it perfunctorily.
He patted me on the shoulder: "Anyway, Xiao Wu, you are indeed making rapid progress. Fairy Girl's eyesight is indeed extraordinary. I know that you have excellent bones and extraordinary talents, so I am willing to accept you as a disciple."
Come on!
Can you even praise my master with this?
Absolutely crazy fan.
He and I re-entered the house from the yard while talking.
"Okay, Old Cao, you can slowly make the huanghuali wood coffin first. I have to go to the credit union, take out the money for the female body, and then send it to her parents."
"Okay, then hurry up. The credit union is about to close. As soon as it's time to get off work, the staff will run as fast as if they had oil on their feet. I'm afraid even the zombies behind them won't be able to catch up with them. "
This weird metaphor made me laugh out loud like a pig.
Apparently, Lao Cao was resentful of the people at the credit union getting off work too early.
It's probably because you didn't get it when you needed money urgently in the past?
I left the coffin shop and ran towards the west of the town.
The credit union is next to the Two Rivers Bridge, quite far from here. I ran over to get the money and had to take it to the bungalow by the river in the northern suburbs of the town.
If this happened before, it would definitely be too late.
The "feather fate" brought by the horoscope of only two taels and one money made me very weak.
But since I worshiped the master and became a Taoist practitioner. My physical fitness is improving rapidly and I am now much stronger than my peers.
About forty minutes later, I stood in front of the dilapidated bungalow in my dream.
This feeling...how should I put it, is very wonderful!
The old bungalow in front of me, the small cement dam next to it, and the surrounding vegetable fields.
Everything is exactly the same as in the dream.
But there was no diffuse fog blocking the threshold, and I could see the half-open wooden door.
In that era, people were relatively simple.
Especially in a place like a town, except for sleeping at night, the door is rarely closed regardless of whether people are at home or not.
Unlike in later urban society, where the large anti-theft iron doors were closed at all times, the next-door neighbors had lived together for three or four years and didn’t even know what they looked like or what their names were!
I took a step forward and knocked on the door gently.
"Excuse me, is there anyone at home?"
He shouted twice, but no one answered, but he heard footsteps.
It looked like there was someone there.
Crunch.
The half-closed wooden door opened.
A haggard face appeared behind the door.
She was an old woman in her sixties, skinny and yellow, with a depressed look. His eyes were cloudy and dull, and his whole body was filled with an aura of sorrow.
Needless to say, this is the mother of the female corpse.
When she saw me, she was stunned for a moment, and then showed a puzzled expression.
"Who are you……"
I quickly introduced myself: "Hello, aunt, my name is Wu Zhong. Maybe you don't know me, and I don't know you. But last night, a very weird thing happened."
She probably thought I was rambling, and her eyes became a little wary.
I quickly started to tell the story I made up on the way here, and I told it quickly.
"Auntie, I had a dream last night. I dreamed that I was going to the river. Suddenly a big sister walked out of the river. She had long hair, was of medium height, and had two small black moles on the left side of her chin."
When I said this, the old woman's expression suddenly changed and she stared at me. Tears were beginning to appear in his eyes.
I'll go on...
"I was very scared at the time, thinking that a water ghost had come ashore. But fortunately, the eldest sister was very amiable. She said that she was from the suburbs of the north of the town, and her parents were still alive at home, but she died unexpectedly. It was very unfilial."
"She was worried that her parents would be left alone, so she told me her bankbook account number and password. She asked me to take out all the more than 8,000 yuan she had saved while working in the city and give it to you two."
"Then after I woke up from the dream, I found that I still clearly remembered your home address, bankbook number and password in my head. I guess it was your daughter who entrusted me with the dream?"
As I said that, I took out stacks of hundred-dollar bills from the pockets of my clothes and pants.
It's more than 8,000 yuan, and it's not too thin when stacked together.
Especially the money is not that new and is thicker.
The old woman was holding money in her hands, her whole body was shaking, and tears were streaming down her face.
The old man in the room probably saw his wife opening the door and not coming back for a long time, so he also walked out and stared at me with a wary look.
I had to repeat it again before the two old men believed me.
There is no way not to believe it!
A strange young man can accurately find his home and accurately tell his daughter's appearance. And he came with more than 8,000 yuan as a gift...
If it weren’t for the dead daughter’s dream, then there would be a ghost!
In 1999, more than 8,000 yuan was really considered a "huge sum of money."
If you are lying to them, what are you trying to do?
They are both farmers, one has no money and the other has no power.
"My poor daughter, since your death, your father and I have thought about you day and night, but we have never seen you in our dreams. Why would you entrust a dream to a little brother?"
The old woman wiped away her tears, which made people sad.
The old man probably thought it was not good to leave me alone at the door, so he invited me to sit inside.
Of course I won't refuse.
After all, I still have to find out the real cause of death of this female corpse!
This means part of the Yin covenant.
"Sister, I have tried to beautify you a lot. In fact, you are neither kind nor approachable. Instead, you scared me to death."
I silently cursed in my heart and went into the house with the two old people.
It was at this moment that I suddenly felt that my mood felt a little lighter.
I guessed that part of the dark covenant between me and her might have been completed.
After entering the house, I looked at the main room that I had visited in my dream the day before yesterday...
Sure enough, the black and white portrait was still hanging in front.
But the difference from the dream is that there is a line of small characters under the portrait, which says the name of the female corpse!
