Chapter 176: Cloth Workshop
"Ruobing, why did you come over here? I just didn't find you over there. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "After Uncle Guangming found me, he breathed a sigh of relief.
I had just run all the way over, and I felt sweaty all over my back and chin, and it was hot to death.
"Did you find anything?" I asked Uncle Light. While following behind Uncle Light, he subconsciously glanced behind him to make sure that nothing unclean was coming up. But the foot still unconsciously sped up.
"Not yet. Where's your side?"
"Neither did I. ”
"It seems that this is the only way to do it tonight. Uncle Light stopped and put away the compass in his hand. "It's almost ten o'clock, let's go back first. ”
"Isn't it after twelve o'clock in the night that the chances of appearing are higher?"
"I helped a client last night, and I didn't sleep all night, and I was sleepy. ”
That's when I reacted. "Uncle Guangming, then you don't have to send me, go back and rest early. I can go back by myself. ”
"Which direction are you going back?"
I pointed in the direction I came. "I'm afraid I'll get lost, so I'll go back the way I came. ”
"Do you lack pillowcases at home?"
"Huh?" I looked at Uncle Light in surprise and puzzlement, whether his train of thought was jumping too much.
"The cloth shop that the sister-in-law used to go to was just around the corner of the road we had just come. You can go in and buy a pair of pillowcases. Uncle Guangming handed me a piece of money for 50 yuan. "Before this case is over. We don't get commissions. So, I'll send you a set of pillowcases first. ”
"Do you still have a custom of sending this in your hometown?"
"It's not. It doesn't seem good for you to wait and go to the cloth shop and not buy something. ”
"Oh! When you say that, I feel much more at ease. "As I spoke, I was relieved of the money he had given.
Walking straight ahead, there are shops selling clothes and bags on the left and right. And I have never found the so-called cloth shop.
It is said that the name of the shop is: Cloth Cloth Workshop.
I kept an eye on the name of the store and continued to walk forward.
At the end of the road, another crossroads appeared. Walking straight past, it seems to be some food shop, but there are very few pedestrians at the door.
On the left, there is a ramp going up, and there is another fork in the road. There are some stalls on the streets, basically some jewelry or fruits.
On the right-hand side, there is an Internet café on the street. Inside, it looks like a public toilet. I really don't know where that cloth shop is. The immediate thing that comes to mind is to ask passers-by. After thinking about it again, passers-by probably don't know much, so ask the owners of these shops next to them, and it is estimated that it will be clearer.
I found a proprietress who felt more kind-hearted, and stepped forward to ask: "Hello, let me ask, is there a store called Buyifang near here?"
Before I could finish my sentence, the proprietress took a direct look at me, went in and closed the door.
What's the situation?
I looked left and right, and suddenly I felt inexplicable.
But the reaction of the proprietress just now made my heart tremble. What kind of place is this cloth shop? After listening to it, I was a little scared in my heart because of this reaction.
I came from the door of the proprietress just now, and there was a person following me behind me. The street lamp on the side of the road just illuminated her shadow very clearly. I pretended to be casual and continued to walk, deliberately slowing down. Took two more steps, then immediately turned back.
At the same time that I was scared by her, she was also taken aback by me.
"Why do you keep following me?" I questioned her, raising my vigilance.
It's an old woman.
When the other party saw me asking her this, she could actually say unhurriedly, "You are here to find the cloth shop?"
"Yes. I nodded, my eyes still looking her up and down.
"I grew up here, lived here for decades, and stayed here all my life. I'm familiar with the place you're talking about. It's about 10 meters on your right. She was very enthusiastic in showing me the way.
I'm still a little scared of what she said.
"However, there was a death on the upper floor of their shop, so many people tried to avoid suspicion as much as possible when they heard about 'Cloth Clothes Workshop'. ”
"Oh~ I see. I said to the old woman gratefully, "My friend asked me to buy her a new set of pillowcases, so he asked me to come here." ”
The old woman smiled at me.
I continued to walk my way, and after two steps, I realized that they had shown me the way, and I hadn't said thank you yet. I turned my head, ready to say thank you to the old woman. But I looked around, but there was no figure of the old woman just now.
Suddenly, my heart was furious.
With skepticism, I walked another ten meters in the direction of the right-hand side. It's diagonally opposite the Internet café.
The plaque at the door is red on a black background, with big words, which read: Cloth Clothes Workshop.
Seeing this, my palms and soles of my feet were sweating. I've just been here, but I didn't see it. And just now, the row here was all black, and there were no shops at all.
It's weird.
For the sake of commission, I can only bite the bullet.
As soon as you enter the door, you can see a pile of cloth that looks like a hill. Facing the door, about four or five meters away, there was a sewing machine, where a middle-aged woman was sewing and mending.
When she saw me come in, she didn't say hello, just did her thing.
The lights in the house are dimmer than the usual lights outside, and a shop is not big, about ten square meters. The air in the room still felt cold, so I hurriedly looked for it in Nabu Mountain, but there was no pillowcase like I wanted. But I still found two more satisfactory ones to hold in my hands, and then politely asked, "How much is this?" ”
"One is 13 pieces, and a pair is 25. ”
My eyes widened, not because the things were expensive, but because she didn't even look at me, and just told me the price.
didn't dare to talk much, just went up and paid. When she took the 50 yuan, she looked at it carefully and returned it to me. "Do you have any change?"
"Nope. "When I spoke, I suddenly felt panicked.
She had to take the money and get me the money.
Out of the cloth shop, I hurried to the front of the place, where the lights were relatively bright.
I just came out of the cloth shop, I looked back as I walked, scared~ She suddenly chased out from inside. The picture that appeared in her mind, she actually had a shadow.
Whew, I'm just a little relieved.
Then I didn't dare to delay for a moment, and took a taxi back. A person does not dare to walk at night. It's usually fine, but I'm just scared...... (To be continued.) )
