The reason why Liu Laodao was able to take this matter in front of the Chen family was mainly because he knew a strange man, this strange man was a tailor, but he was not the kind of tailor who made clothes, he sewed skin and flesh for the dead, and was called a corpse sewer in ancient times.

In ancient times, corpse sewers were also one of the lower nine trades, and they were extremely out-of-the-way, engaged in tailors or servants who were basically unattainable, and their customers were prisoners who were killed by the government.

In ancient times, there were many kinds of punishments, such as beheading and beheading, and the ancients paid attention to the integrity of burial, so after those people were killed, the family would often ask a sewing maker to sew the person well.

But the corpse sewer is not something that anyone can do well, first of all, the dead man's meal is not so delicious, and ordinary people can't stand this, and secondly, there is a problem of craftsmanship, it is said that a clever corpse sewer can take back the heads of those who have been beheaded, and there is no trace, and the outside cannot be seen at all.

And the corpse sewer that Liu Laodao knows is a little interesting, because they are not professional corpse sewers, and their main business is a leatherman, but she will have such a nickname, just because people have really sewn corpses.

Liu Laodao told me that more than 30 years ago, Qinghe Town built a reservoir, at that time the reservoir was not like now, all kinds of large machines were on the same page, it was very simple, at that time, eighty percent of them relied on manpower to do, * to blow up the mountain, and then rely on manpower to move out little by little, and the most tools were all kinds of small carts.

Once, when the mountain was blown up, it was dumb once, and then when someone went up to check, it suddenly exploded, and several people were blown up on the spot, and the worst one was that it was blown apart, and the corpse could not be picked up.

At that time, there was no cremation at all, it was all burial, and that era happened to be the end of the four old periods, so I didn't think much about it, and buried people directly.

But a few days later, strange things happened, the people who were working on the construction site at that time collectively had the same dream, and the dead person came to them, walked up to them, and did not speak, and then the face and arms began to fall off, and finally there was only a puddle of rotten meat on the ground.

They had this dream for several days in a row, which frightened everyone and didn't even dare to go to work.

At the meeting, someone said about the corpse sewer, advocating finding a tailor to sew people together, but this matter was unanimously opposed by all the tailors at that time.

Later, the leader did not know which master to guide him, and went to the field to invite an old lady back, it is said that the old lady was born as a leatherman, but she can sew the corpse of this craft, the leader served for a day, and then let people prepare a room, and dug out the coffin and sent it in, the old lady stayed in the room for a night, and everyone was stunned the next day.

Because the old lady put the body back in the coffin, and there was no trace of stitching on the surface, even the expression was lifelike, as if she was asleep, and everyone gave a thumbs up to the old lady's craftsmanship, and even the clever tailors were shocked, saying that if the old lady started to be a tailor, they would be unemployed.

"Master, you won't tease me, I was the eldest lady more than thirty years ago, and at this time, it is not the same thing to go to find someone."

But after listening, I was not happy, Liu Laodao didn't tease me, the old lady more than 30 years ago, how old is this, even if the person is still there, he must be seventy or eighty, where can he still invite him back.

"You kid knows a fart, this craft is not simple, it will be passed down nine times out of ten, and she also brought a young girl with her at that time, it seems that she likes it very much, anyway, you must go on a trip"

When Liu Laodao heard this, he glared at me and started scolding, but he didn't have much confidence in this matter, more than 30 years have passed, things are wrong, who knows what the result will be.

"Okay, you're the uncle, you say what's up, I'll go"

I pouted, Liu Laodao said so, it's nothing to go on a trip, if the person is not there, just take a trip in vain, but if you really invite you back, then there will be blown, I have heard Liu Laodao tell stories a lot, but this kind of strange person has really never seen it.

"Slow, you can't go like this, it's a bit of a begging"

"That's right, why don't you bring more money and give me the money that Mrs. Chen gave you?"

I stared at Liu Laodao's pocket and said, Mrs. Chen didn't just invite us to dinner tonight, mainly to calm our hearts, but she stuffed Liu Laodao with a lot of money when she left.

"Good boy, this reminds me of the old man's money, and I want to be beautiful"

Liu Laodao scolded, and finally only took out two pieces of money from his pocket.

"Old man, you tease me, two hundred, the fare is not enough."

I was so angry that I didn't even call the master, two hundred, enough for a fart, and the fare was not enough.

"You think too much, the fare is only fifty or sixty round-trip, and the rest is to buy gifts, don't worry, don't worry, listen to the old man to give you tips, I remember that the little girl loved three snacks in Qinghe Town, the first is the old Li's mung bean cake, the other is the old Zhang's meat buns, tsk, I saw the little girl eat five in one go, and there are local fried spring rolls, you buy these, you can definitely use them"

I looked at Liu Laodao's expression of reminiscing about the past, and my heart suddenly became suspicious, this guy won't have a story with that old lady's little girl.

"Old man, you were a young man more than thirty years ago, you wouldn't do that..."

"Fuck off, no more nonsense, I'll kill you"

Liu Laodao scolded all the time, which confirmed my guess even more, and let me laugh at him, you still claim to be a Taoist, it turns out that there will be this kind of red dust past.

Early the next morning, I went to Qinghe Town to buy a big bag of snacks that Liu Laodao said, mung bean cakes, meat buns, and fried spring rolls.

Before leaving, Liu Laodao did not forget to tell a few words, these things are just stepping stones, and if you really want to invite someone to do things, you can only show sincerity if you pay back real money, so there is such a bottom line problem.

Subsequently, I left by car, Liu Laodao said that the strange people of the old lady valley, in a small town dozens of kilometers away from Qinghe Town, called Xuangu Town, but that town is under the jurisdiction of another county, there is no direct car, and it is very troublesome to transfer trains.

So just dozens of kilometers away, I sat for more than three hours in Xuangu Town, that Xuangu Town is bigger and more prosperous than Qinghe Town, after I went, I was also black-eyed, then Liu Laodao didn't know the specific address, what I told me was also probable, how to find this?

"Boss, you know that there is a lady surnamed Gu in the town..."

"There are thousands of people surnamed Gu in the town, and there are hundreds of aunts, which one are you looking for?"

"That's the one who can sew corpses"

"What, you say it again"

"Sewing corpses"

", in broad daylight, what are you talking about"

Even looking for several people to ask, it was a nose of ash, which made me so depressed, but think about it, sewing corpses is not a good reputation, if anyone has this, the child must be lonely, because no one dares to contact it, not desperate, who will do this business.

I wandered around Xuangu Town for an afternoon, my heart was getting more and more anxious, the key is that when I came, Chen Menghan told me that I must find that Aunt Gu and bury her father with peace of mind, I have blown out the cowhide, and said that it will be done, and I am afraid that I will break my promise this time.

I sat bored on the steps of the street, thinking about how to find people, and there seemed to be no way to do it.

I was about to return disappointed, but when I looked up, I saw a little girl in a school uniform standing in front of me with a lollipop in her mouth.

"Brother, I heard you're looking for someone who can sew corpses"

"Ah, little sister, you know?"

Listening to what the little girl said, I was immediately overjoyed, it wouldn't be another village.

"Yes, but you'll have to buy me lollipops, five, no, ten"

The little girl held out a hand and said.

"Buy, buy, buy, buy all twenty"

I laughed and said, "Twenty lollipops are a hair, buy it."

There was a school not far away, and there was a commissary next to the school, and I immediately led the little girl to buy twenty lollipops, which was a large box.

"Well, the person you're looking for should be my grandmother, but she's dead."

The little girl holding a box of lollipops had her eyes narrowed into a line, but her casual words made my face fall suddenly, I go, am I being played by a little girl who looks seven or eight years old, am I so easy to deceive?
