"I know, I know." Master Jiu said, comforting Uncle Chu and calling the two of them aside. At this time, many spectators had gathered around.
When we were working, we all wore the kind of open-fronted Tang suit that was popular among the coffin shop clerks in ancient times. It was indigo on the outside and white on the inside. This kind of dress is very eye-catching in the summer.
Individuals can tell the difference. No, as soon as I got to the car, I saw the men and women whispering in groups of two or three. There was fear and contempt in their eyes, and of course more of them.
Curiosity and fear.
"Who has lived here?" Pulling Director Xu aside, Master Jiu asked directly.
"Are you talking about the original owner?" Director Xu was slightly startled when he heard this.
"No, I'm asking who the owner of this house is. Well, let's put it this way, who was the last person who lived here for a long time."
"Well... I really don't know. I'll ask you later."
After Director Xu finished speaking, he quickly ran into the crowd of onlookers, gesticulated and muttered with the nearby residents for a long time, and then hurried back: "Master Jiu, they said that there has been no one in this place for decades.
Yes, the original owner of the house is not a local. I have to go back and check if he wants to know his name. However, the woman over there said that a monk came here a few years ago, and that monk also changed hands on this house.
Sold.”
"Monk?" Hearing this, Master Jiu was suddenly shocked.
"Yes, monk." Director Xu said, nodding with certainty.
"Who said that? Please take me to see it." Master Jiu touched his chin, and then followed Director Xu to find the woman who provided the information. The woman was in her forties and slightly thin. She had a pretty good figure and was tall.
With her big cheekbones and big eyes, she looks like a very fierce character at first glance.
Seeing Master Jiu coming over, she hugged her shoulders and looked sideways, then started chatting with Director Xu.
It seems that Director Xu has some prestige in the local area. At least, the villagers are convinced. After hearing Master Jiu explain the purpose of his visit, the woman nodded, then rolled her eyes and started talking. There was a distance of about ten meters between us.
, I grabbed my waist and went to the car to get a bottle of mineral water. As I was drinking it, I heard her change her face and say to Master Jiu: "Oh my God, that monk, that's not an ordinary person!"
"What do you mean by this?" Director Xu heard this and asked quickly.
"What do you mean? You don't know. Our old father-in-law said that the monk is probably a fairy! Otherwise, he hasn't aged at all in thirty years! Our leader hasn't been born yet, and he is only in his thirties.
Years old, he was still in his thirties when he came back to sell houses a few years ago!"
"Are you sure?" Director Xu burst out laughing when he heard this. Obviously, the woman's words made him feel a little incredible.
"Tsk, how can I lie to you? Who can I lie to? How can I lie to the government?" The woman said, tilting her neck a little unhappily, then she looked around and whispered: "When I came here, I told you that this house cannot be used.
Buy it, but you don’t believe it. Let me tell you, this house is haunted! There is always a group of people on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year.
The children are making trouble inside. Ask the old man if he has met a kid! Can you hide this from me? Our father-in-law has already said that this yard should not have been repaired in the first place. It is a good intersection.
If it is cut into a courtyard like this, he doesn’t know that the corner of the avenue occupies a bad spot..."
"Hey, listen to this elder sister, you also know Feng Shui and physiognomy..." Director Xu smiled apologetically upon hearing this.
"I don't understand, but our father-in-law understands. Hey, that one standing over there, what do you do? Why are you dressed like this?" The eldest sister said, raising her chin and asking Master Jiu.
"Me? I'm... a Taoist priest, um, a Taoist priest." Master Jiu said, looking back at me, and looking at his expression, he felt quite helpless.
"Oh... you're an old man... that's all I'll say." As soon as the words came out, the woman shook her head and curled her lips, then crossed her shoulders and turned sideways and glanced sideways.
The same as Master Jiu: "This morning, our father-in-law said that when Zi Qi comes from the east, there must be some colleagues coming to visit. Don't you have something to ask? Come with me." After the woman finished speaking, she twisted and walked in with Chu.
In a courtyard adjacent to the uncle.
Am I stupid?
This was beyond my expectation. I thought that as usual, I would just find the kid and capture him. Who would have thought that in this quiet little place, I would meet an expert who can pinch and count.
people!
Listening to what the woman said, everything that happened to Uncle Chu was completely within the old man's expectation. Thinking of this, I quickly followed Master Jiu and ran in, wanting to see the true face of the mysterious man in Lushan. Look, little fat man
We didn’t follow the car. Under the leadership of the woman, we went to a courtyard next door to Uncle Chu’s house. The courtyard was much more elegant than Uncle Chu’s house. It was not only spacious, but also clean. Presumably the woman shaking her head was also a housekeeper.
Good player.
"Dad, someone brought it to you!" The woman shouted at the top of her lungs from far away.
"Yeah, I got it." Under a big tree in the yard, an old man wearing a pair of small round sunglasses was lying on a wicker chair with a cigarette pipe in his mouth.
This man is no longer young, at least seventy or eighty years old. His gray hair is neatly trimmed, his white shirt is spotless, and his gray trousers are rolled up at the hem, and are exactly as wide as one finger.
He was lying there with his legs crossed, and his two big feet without socks were holding common cheap slippers, and he was dangling his ankles leisurely... This image is a bit like "Kung Fu"
There was the Huoyun Evil God on the road just now, but he was more arrogant and cleaner than the bald Huoyun Evil God.
"Uncle Chen! Why is it you!" As soon as they met, Master Jiu was shocked, and quickly stepped forward and opened his mouth.
"Humph, you still recognize your uncle." The old man said, smiled strangely, and then waved his hand to signal the woman to leave. The daughter-in-law was also obedient, nodded and left, Master Jiu didn't
Dare to be negligent, he quickly took off his satchel and threw it to me, and then surrounded him enthusiastically, "Uncle, I haven't seen you for so many years, it turns out that you came here to enjoy your happiness!"
"Sigh... Look what you said, after working for so many years, you still can't let me live a peaceful life... How are you, are you okay?"
"It's not bad, it's almost the same as before." Master Jiu said with a silly smile.
"Where is the ghost servant? Is she okay?" The old man nodded sadly and patted Master Jiu on the shoulder.
