Chapter 58 Who Am I?
Yongjun Road is an old road in the county, there are basically no houses above three floors, and there are few storefronts, and you can see old people playing cards together.
I was familiar with everything in the county town, and I went to school here as a child, so I quickly found a funeral supply store.
This funeral supplies store is one of the larger ones in the county, not only selling things, but also taking care of funeral affairs, and the owner seems to be an aunt in her forties.
"Boss, I want to inquire about someone."
I glanced at the female shopkeeper in her forties, who looked quite fat and had a meaty face, and instinctively felt that this shopkeeper was not a paper-binding person surnamed Jiang.
"Inquiring about what?" The shopkeeper, who was in her forties, looked up at me.
"Excuse me, is there a paper-binding person surnamed Jiang in the county?" I said.
A hint of surprise flashed in the female shopkeeper's eyes, and then she pointed outside and said, "Go straight out, turn right at the first intersection, the last room in the dead end." ”
I was a little surprised, do you really know?
Immediately afterward, I thanked him, "Thank you, boss." ”
But at this time, the female boss laughed, she just laughed very ordinarily, but the fierce horizontal meat made her laugh extremely weird, only to hear her say: "Little brother, you are very familiar with that person?" ”
"I'm not familiar with him, I want to ask him something." I said.
"Listen to the advice of the eldest sister, don't go to that unlucky guy if it's not important." The female boss of the funeral supplies store said meaningfully.
I was stunned: "Why? ”
"Do you know why he lives in the last room in a cul-de-sac?" The female boss said.
I shook my head.
"That's because everyone doesn't want to get close to him! Whoever is close to him is finished, whoever is close to him, whoever has an accident at home! This man is a well-known calamity in our netherworld circles, and if it weren't for his great paper-making skills, no one would want to deal with him! ”
The landlady spoke quietly.
I took a breath and was a little stunned, but I believed in my uncle, who would not harm me, and since he asked me to find this papermaker surnamed Jiang, it would definitely not be unfavorable to me.
But then again, although the female boss in front of me is fierce, judging by her face, she is not a and alarmist person, and she does not seem to deceive me, an unknown person, for no reason.
"Thank you, big sister."
I can't care so much about it, even if this paper-binding maker is a murderer, I have to find him, he is the last hope to crack the Circle of Crime from the Fire!
After saying goodbye to the female owner of the funeral goods store, we went straight to the location she had given.
But when I entered the alley she said with Jin Jiu'er, we were all stunned.
"Junior brother, there shouldn't be anyone living in this kind of place, right?" Jin Jiu'er said.
The alley in front of me is full of old houses that no one lives in, and several of them have only frames left, and I am afraid that no one will come to this kind of place for a day.
And the papermaker surnamed Jiang lives here?
"Let's go take a look." My heart couldn't help but beat faster.
When Jin Jiu'er and I were about to go in, an old lady suddenly passed by us.
When I saw this old lady, my eyes immediately widened, and Jin Jiu'er on the side seemed to feel something, and took a sharp breath.
And the old lady didn't pay attention to us, but walked on herself, and in a short time she disappeared and disappeared, and she didn't know where she went.
"This is ......" Jin Jiu'er said strangely, as if it was the first time he had seen such a thing.
I nodded gently, I don't see much of this kind of thing, and there is a faint fear in my heart.
Then the old lady didn't show up, but her moments made my heart rise to my throat.
The last house in the cul-de-sac is relatively normal compared to other houses that are too dilapidated to live in, but it is also very limited.
The house was black and black, with only two floors, and the second floor didn't even have a window, only a red curtain.
Obviously, the house was deliberately renovated, but I don't see what it was for, and there is no trace.
"Excuse me, may I ask anyone?" I knocked on the closed door.
After a few minutes, the door rattled and slowly opened.
What greeted me was a pale teenager, yes, a teenager!
The boy looked younger than me, like a high school student, but although his face was immature, his eyes were unusually vicissitudes, like the eyes of only seventy or eighty years old.
"I'll look for Mr. Tie Paper, whose surname is Jiang." I smiled kindly, thinking it was the papermaker's apprentice or son.
"I'm just, come in."
But who knows, the young man in front of me actually said this sentence that made me jaw-dropping.
"You're Mr. Paper, surnamed Jiang?" I asked again uncertainly, no, the person my uncle asked me to find turned out to be a teenager who looked younger than me?
I don't look down on the young, but to crack the Detachment of Fire and Suppression Array, I don't think it's possible to know without a lot of feng shui experience.
The boy nodded.
After getting the affirmation again, I glanced at Jin Jiu'er on the side, even though there were ten million disbelief in my heart, but I still whispered: "Then let's go in." ”
In the face of living people, no matter how weird he is, Jin Jiu'er is not afraid, but this time, Jin Jiu'er does not seem to be as bold as before, and he looks a little cringe, as if he is very reluctant to enter this house.
I'm a little surprised, these days, I also have a general understanding of Jin Jiu'er, she can stay calm in the face of any weird things, I have long regarded her as a person at the same level as me, just now when we met the old lady, Jin Jiu'er saw her identity, but she was not afraid, why was she afraid of coming here?
But in the end, Jin Jiu'er walked into the house with me.
However, when we stepped into this room, Jin Jiu'er and I both stopped, and my back was cold.
The whole room was filled with dozens of colorful paper figurines, large and small!
The faces of these paper figures are blank, and only one paper figure has a face.
It was this paper figure with a face that scared me, the paper figure was lifelike, the appearance was extremely realistic, it was the appearance of an old lady, this old lady I had seen, it was the old lady who had just passed by me.
"Old, huh? Wait a minute, I'll finish what I'm doing. The young man surnamed Jiang said to me, and then sat down on the only chair in the room, and continued to use paintbrushes and scissors to process the paper figure with a face.
Jin Jiu'er's body unconsciously leaned towards me, I looked at her, and found that her eyes were full of panic.
I rarely see Jin Jiu'er showing such a little daughter posture, when facing Yan Zilong who was taken on by the snake fairy, facing Liu Siyun who gave birth to a snake baby, and even the weirdness in the village all day yesterday, I didn't feel such a strong fear from Jin Jiu'er.
I originally wanted to stay away from Jin Jiu'er, she was almost completely glued to my side, but seeing her weak appearance, I couldn't bear it, and my body didn't move.
After waiting for about ten minutes, the young man seemed to finish the matter at hand, he stood up and looked at Jin Jiu'er.
Jin Jiu'er's body shrank again, as if she didn't dare to look at the young man, and shrank towards me again.
I don't know why Jin Jiu'er is so afraid of the teenager in front of me, but the man's desire to protect is very strong, I took a step forward, blocked in front of Jin Jiu'er, and looked at the teenager with a smile.
The young man took a deep look at Jin Jiu'er, then glanced at me again, and then hung the paper figure he had just made aside.
He took out a towel and rubbed his hands, and said softly, "It's been ten years, it's been ten years." ”
My heart was shocked, the young man's words in the clouds, others can't understand, but I can understand, when the uncle said, my parents exchanged their lives for ten years of peace, is this what the boy refers to for ten years?
"Uncle Daoyan asked you to come, right?" The boy continued.
But his words directly made my eyes widen.
Uncle Daoyan? He calls my uncle his uncle? So who is his master?
"You...... Who are you! "I was a little excited because I had a conjecture in my head!
"Who am I? Chen, I am your father's only apprentice! ”
