Chapter 7 Take a job

"So, the total price is eighty-six thousand four, I will erase the fraction for you, give eighty-six thousand, pay half of the deposit in advance, and give the rest when the delivery is made. ”

Looking at the price list listed by Wang Mingcheng, Su Chen's face remained unchanged, and he was scolding his mother in his heart. Not to mention eighty-six thousand, all his net worth now does not add up to six thousand, where to give the money to pay the deposit.

"Boss Wang, your price is ......"

"Little brother, I didn't make much money for you at this price, you are also an insider, you should know how difficult it is to create such a coffin, first of all, the wood requirements are very high, it must be a locust tree that is more than fifty years old, and the workmanship must be exquisite, especially these textures, ordinary carvers may not be able to carve out, let alone carpenters, and our family has such craftsmanship from generation to generation. ”

Wang Mingcheng thought that Su Chen was going to talk about the price, and quickly explained, Su Chen was helpless, of course he knew that the price was not expensive, the carpenter who could build the Juyin coffin, the craftsmanship fee alone was more than that, and the other party did not indiscriminately open a high price.

"The price is very fair, but can Boss Wang build it first, and the money will be given when the time comes. ”

For Su Chen, the sooner the Juyin coffin is built, the more helpful it will be for him to treat his condition, what he wants is to build it first, and he is going to find a way to raise money, and when the money is raised, the coffin will also be built.

Hearing Su Chen's words, Wang Mingcheng frowned, and was embarrassed: "Little brother, there are no such rules, you have to pay a deposit first, anyway, this money is also from the employer." ”

"There's an employer with a hammer. ”

Su Chen said something in his heart, and was about to open his mouth to explain, but at this time, there were footsteps at the door, and a figure stepped into the threshold and walked in.

"Mingcheng, do you want to do a job?"

The person who came in was also a middle-aged man, who was stunned for a moment when he saw Su Chen, a stranger, and then said, "You have someone, then you have to talk about it in advance." ”

"This little brother is not an outsider, if you have any live horses, you can just say it. After saying this, Wang Mingcheng introduced to Su Chen: "Little brother, this is my neighbor, surnamed Ma, the sixth in the family, we all call him Ma Liu." ”

"Brother Ma is good. ”

"Hello, hello. ”

Ma Liu and Su Chen politely exchanged words for a while and then said: "That's the case, doesn't my aunt have several houses for rent, and the tenant of one house hanged himself in the room, and then the neighbor of this house told my aunt that I often hear movement in the room at night, I guess there may be something dirty, which thinks of you." ”

"What are you looking for me? I don't know how to catch ghosts and exorcise evil spirits, I'm just a carpenter, and you have to find a Taoist priest for this matter. Wang Mingcheng asked suspiciously.

"Looking for a Taoist priest is not to open the altar, then everyone will know that this house is dead, my aunt means try not to make it too big, don't you have two treasures here, take them and put them in that house for a few days, there must be nothing dirty." ”

When he said this, Ma Liu's eyes glanced at the axe and wooden ruler on the incense platform in front of him, but Wang Mingcheng's color instantly changed after hearing this, and he became ugly, and said seriously: "Ma Liu, how many times have I told you, this is my family's ancestral thing, and it is impossible to leave the incense case when I can't help it, don't even think about it, or ask Gao Ming, I can't do this work." ”

"What age is it, it's still so old-fashioned, my aunt said, if this matter can be solved, you can give 30,000 yuan in compensation, which is not more profitable than your hard work to build a few coffins. ”

Ma Liu's face didn't understand, he didn't understand what Wang Mingcheng thought, outsiders didn't know that the Wang family had two treasures, but he knew it, and he was fortunate to see it.

It was probably more than ten years ago, when he and Wang Mingcheng went to the field at night to catch yellow eels, and then I don't know why, Wang Mingcheng suddenly fell to the ground, and then foamed at the mouth, and grabbed the wet mud in the field and stuffed it into his mouth, which scared him half to death, so he had to forcibly carry Wang Mingcheng back to Wang's house with another friend.

At that time, the old man Wang was still there, and when he saw this situation, he rushed directly into the hall of his home, lit three incense sticks and worshiped the incense case above the hall, and then took down the wooden ruler on the incense case with a reverent face, and slapped Wang Mingcheng's body a few times, but Wang Mingcheng did not twitch or foam.

But this is not enough, although the body does not twitch or move, but the whole person is still in a state of delirium, the old man Wang saw this and put down the ruler, picked up the axe from the incense case, and roared angrily: "Disciples of the Lu family, how dare you make trouble, if you don't retreat quickly, teach you to taste the axe of opening the world!"

It's just that this sentence was shouted, and it didn't take a few seconds for Wang Mingcheng to come to his senses, and at that time Ma Liu knew that the two heirlooms of the Wang family were real treasures.

Later, Ma Liu asked the old man of the Wang family, why such a treasure was placed in the hall like this, and he was not afraid of being stolen? As a result, the old man of the Wang family replied to him that this was handed down by their ancestors of the Wang family, and it was already psychic, and others took it as an ordinary broken axe, and only the Lu Ban disciples in their Wang family could use it.

Although more than ten years have passed, Ma Liu still remembers what happened at the beginning, but whether it is the old man of the Wang family or Wang Mingcheng, they have told him that they will never use these two treasures unless they have to.

Su Chen listened from the sidelines, and he understood in his heart why Wang Mingcheng didn't let the axe and wooden ruler leave the incense case.

This axe and wooden ruler have at least a hundred years of history, and they enjoy the incense offerings of the Wang family every day, and they already have a little aura, but because they are only made of very ordinary materials, they can absorb so much aura, and they can't go any further to the level of magic weapons.

Su Chen guessed that the axe and wooden ruler were likely to be used tools left by the first ancestor of the Wang family to become a carpenter, and later people left them as relics, and finally slowly enshrined them.

Bound by innate conditions, it is difficult for these two things to reach the level of magic weapons, and if they are not magic weapons, the aura contained in them is used less than once, and the Wang family should know this, so there will be such rules.

"I don't know if you can take me to the house, maybe I have a way to fix it. ”

Su Chen spoke, he couldn't hide it at this time, 30,000 yuan, if he earned this money, the deposit for the coffin would be enough.

"You?"

Ma Liu looked at Su Chen with a suspicious gaze, while Wang Mingcheng on the side explained: "Ma Liu, Brother Su has a profound family heritage and is from the Earth Master family, I think you can take Brother Su to have a look." ”

"Earth Master, such a young Earth Master?"

After listening to Wang Mingcheng's words, the look of doubt on Ma Liu's face did not disappear, but thinking that he couldn't find anyone now, let's be a dead horse and a live horse doctor.

"Brother Su, I don't mean to look down on you, then let's go over and have a look, the house is not far from here, or do you want to go home and get something?"

"No, let's go see the situation first. ”

Su Chen replied with a smile, what are you kidding, he is an ordinary person now, if things are tricky, then he will definitely not take this job.

"Alright, let's go now. ”

"Well, let's go. Su Chen followed Ma Liu away, but when he walked to the door, as if he suddenly remembered something, he turned back to Wang Mingcheng and shouted: "Boss Wang, you can start the work of that coffin now, I will come over to give you the money later." ”

Wang Mingcheng was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously replied: "Oh, good." ”

......

Ma Liu spoke very sincerely, saying that it was not far away, and it took more than ten minutes to reach the goal, which is a newly built community not long ago, and it can be seen from the trees planted in the community that are bare.

Walking into the community, following through several unit buildings, Su Chen and Ma Liu finally walked into a unit building, and took the elevator to the sixteenth floor, which is a two-family room layout on one floor, and the elevator is a corridor, and the doors of the two households are just facing each other on both sides.

Ma Liu took out the key and opened the door of the house on the left, Su Chen looked around the corridor, didn't say anything, and followed Ma Liu into the room.

After opening the door, Ma Liu, but he stood at the entrance and did not enter again, pointed to the door of a room inside, and said to Su Chen: "Brother Su, this is my aunt's house, the girl was hanged in the bedroom, I won't go over, you can go and see for yourself." ”

Hearing Ma Liu's words, Su Chen smiled, nodded, and walked towards the bedroom, the bedroom door was closed, and when he put his hand on the doorknob and was about to twist, his brows furrowed, because he felt a resistance, but this resistance was very small, so small that it was almost negligible if he didn't pay attention.

Twisting the door open, Su Chen's eyes swept over the entire bedroom, it was obvious that the bedroom had been cleaned and cleaned, and there was nothing except a wardrobe and bed board and a dresser.

Walking around the room, Su Chen finally stopped in front of the dresser for a moment before walking out of the room.

"Brother Su, how is it?" Ma Liu immediately asked when he saw Su Chen walking out.

"It's a bit of a problem, let's go out and say. ”

Su Chen led Ma Liu out of the door and into the corridor, and then continued to speak: "This house is a little unclean, and the soul of the girl who committed suicide is still inside, so the neighbor next door will only hear the abnormal noise at night." ”

"Really, no wonder when I entered that bedroom, I felt cold, Brother Su, what now, can you solve this matter?"

If it were someone else, he might still doubt the authenticity of Su Chen's words, but Ma Liu had seen the magical scene of Old Man Wang at the beginning, and he was convinced of some existences.

"It can be solved, you give me the key, I will sleep here tonight, if there is no accident, it will be back to normal tomorrow." ”

"Brother Su, do you want to sleep here at night?"

Ma Liu's face showed admiration, he didn't dare to go in the bedroom during the day, let alone at night, it seems that this Brother Su is a person with real skills, otherwise ordinary people would dare to do this.

"Well, the girl's spirit does not appear during the day, and it is only at night that you can communicate with her and persuade her to leave. Su Chen explained, of course, there was a sentence that was not said, that is, he was an ordinary person now, and he didn't have the ability to do this in broad daylight.

"I understand, Brother Su, don't worry, as long as this matter is resolved, the 30,000 yuan will definitely be indispensable, then I will give you the key, and I will leave first." ”

Even if he was outside the corridor, knowing that there was dirt in the house, Ma Liu didn't dare to stay for a moment, and left in a hurry after dropping the key to Su Chen.

Looking at the corridor where only he was left, and then looking at the door of the room, Su Chen also sighed, a penny is difficult for a hero, in order to earn the 30,000 yuan, he also fought hard.
