I had never met that old man, I didn't know him at all, but how did he know my name? I couldn't help but wonder.

I looked at the old man, frowned, and asked, "Old man, who are you?" ”

The old man looked at me with a strange expression and said, "It doesn't matter who I am, it's just that you are Wu Thirteen!" ”

The old man's words made me feel a little inexplicable, but I still smiled at him and said, "Then old man, what are you looking for me?" ”

"It was the Ninth Master who asked me to send this thing, and he asked you to keep this thing!" , the old man raised his hand and said to me.

The Ninth Master asked him to bring things over, which really surprised me, and I didn't know what was in his box.

I thought for a moment and said, "What is this, why didn't he bring it back in person and ask you to deliver it?" ”

My suspicion is actually very normal, it is impossible for him to say that the ninth master asked him to send something, so I accepted it without questioning at all.

When the old man saw me asking, he looked very unreasonable and said, "I came to deliver this thing in person, but I didn't want to pull it down, but I didn't expect your young man to ask this and that." ”

I smiled and said, "Old man, I don't mean anything else, I just want to ask what's inside, but the Ninth Master spared you and sent it to me, you should know what's inside!" ”

The old man frowned, stepped forward, and opened the old-looking box, only to see that there was a thing that looked like a seal.

Then the old man said: "Look for yourself, what is this thing, when the ninth master comes back, he will naturally tell you, and I won't say more." ”

When he said this, the old man's tone sounded a little uncomfortable, but judging from his face, there seemed to be something unspeakable.

I saw that inside the box, there was a note written to me by the Ninth Master.

I spread out the note, only to see that it read: "Thirteen, put it in the secret compartment above the shrine of the incense hall and hide it, don't embarrass the person who sent the box." ”

The note is Jiuye's unique handwritten signature, and after seeing the signature, I won't be suspicious of this thing.

In fact, the reason why I am suspicious is also because Liu Ruoxue told me that an old lady came to give a gift, so I didn't want to accept it. As a result, I now see someone bringing something, and I want to interrogate it.

Now that the old man has opened the box, although I don't know the seal-like thing in the box, but with the autograph of the ninth master, I don't doubt anything anymore.

I put the box away, and was about to call the old man into the house to sit down, but the old man's face became a little embarrassed, and he said to me, "Since I have brought the things, I have completed my errand, and as for you to invite me into the house, forget it, I can't bear it!" ”

This old man's speech is really weird, I just want to invite him into the house to have a cup of tea and rest, and I don't mean anything else, he even said that he can't stand this kind of thing, so I really don't know how to do it.

Since he didn't want to enter the house, I didn't force him too much and thanked him directly.

The old man sighed, as if to say something to me, but he did not speak, and turned away.

I took the box back to the house, and according to the instructions of the ninth master, I put it in a secret compartment behind the shrine of the incense hall.

Immediately, I took out the phone and called Jiu Ye, but it still prompted that I couldn't get through.

Just now, when I saw the old man delivering something to the door, the reason why I didn't call Jiu Ye directly was because Jiu Ye's mobile phone was very difficult to get through. I'm no stranger to this situation.

According to Liu Ruoxue's words, an old lady will come to deliver something this afternoon, so I had lunch and hurried to the front desk of the store to wait.

The shop of the ninth master sells some incense, fire paper, red and white candles, and some paper of various colors needed for funerals.

These things don't bring much income. It's impossible to make much money from those things in our town.

may not be able to earn so much for three months for me to save Yu Dan's father.

So this shop is equivalent to just a workplace where Jiu Ye and I take over. It's actually quite easy to visit the store every day.

After reading the ancient magic book for a while, I didn't know it and took a nap.

At about five o'clock in the afternoon, an old lady came to the store carrying a bamboo basket, and she looked to be in her early sixties.

The bamboo basket was covered by her with an old white cloth, and she didn't know what it contained.

Seeing that the person who came was an old lady, I immediately had an extra heart, wondering if she would be the person Liu Ruoxue said to be the one who came to give gifts.

The old lady put the bamboo basket on the counter, and then asked, "Young man, is the ninth master at home?" ”

I said suspiciously: "Old man, the ninth master is not here, do you have something to do with him?" ”

A flash of light flashed in the old lady's eyes, and she said, "The Ninth Master helped save the life of my old man before, and I am very grateful for her great kindness, I want to send something to your store today." Since he's not here, please take it for you! ”

With that, she gently pushed the bamboo basket down in front of me.

Giving something is also giving a gift.

Listening to the old lady in front of me say that she gave us something, my heart became a little more vigilant.

Occasionally, there will indeed be some people who will send some vegetables and eggs grown by their own family to the ninth master, or kill a pig and send some pork to the ninth master. Almost all of us will take a little bit to show respect for the person who sent something.

In our rural areas, people take the initiative to send things to the door, if they don't accept them at all, the people who send things will have ideas in their hearts, especially the villagers, they will feel that their things are not looked down upon by others.

I smiled and said, "Mother-in-law, don't be too polite, the ninth master has helped you, as long as your wife is well, you can bring these things back!" ”

The old lady hurriedly excused herself, and she said, "The family is really too poor and has no money, but this is the game that my son caught on the mountain, so you can take it!" ”

As she spoke, the old lady uncovered the cloth on the basket, and saw that it contained a dying white snake, and by looking at the snake's head and color, she knew that it was not a poisonous snake.

I couldn't help but be secretly surprised that this old lady would send us a snake.

But also because the people of the village are very fond of wild animals such as snakes, wild boars, and pheasants. Most wild animals, as long as they are caught by the villagers, are almost inseparable from the fate of being sold and eaten.

If Liu Ruoxue hadn't asked me not to accept the gift from the old lady this afternoon, I would probably have accepted this non-poisonous white snake and then taken it to the wild and released it.

Although I don't know if this old lady is the same person as the one Liu Ruoxue said, I can't take it lightly.

I had already thought that as long as it was a gift from an old lady today, I would not accept it.

I hurriedly excused myself and said, "Mother-in-law, I really can't ask for this thing, you can take it away!" ”

The old lady's expression changed, and she said, "Young man, this wild snake is very delicious and nutritious. Of course, even if you and Jiu Ye don't eat this snake, you can take it to the market and sell it for money, and listen to my son, this snake can be sold for a good price. ”

I hurriedly said, "Mother-in-law, I believe that even if the ninth master is here, he won't accept it, so take it back quickly!" ”

When the old lady saw that I refused to accept the snake, she looked very unhappy and said, "Young man, do you dislike what I have given you?" ”

I smiled slightly and said, "Mother-in-law, I don't dislike you for sending this thing, I appreciate your kindness." I'll tell him when the ninth master comes back. But we really can't ask for something old from you. ”

Seeing that I insisted on not accepting it, the old lady's face was a little gloomy.

That's when I spied on her face. It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, I can't help but feel very surprised when I look at it.
