Chapter 200: The Death Incident in Xiadong Village
Leaving Niutou Village far away, the master looked up at the bright moon hanging high in the void, and then turned around and said: "Mr. Yao has a treasure hidden in his body, so he can only secretly enter the ground, and the village chief will lead someone to properly place Mr. Yao's body in three days." In addition, Mr. Yao has a fixed corpse bead, the corpse will not decompose, and it is good to have more time, and when Mr. Yao is buried in the ground, the village chief will announce Mr. Yao's death, and the matter will be successfully passed. β
"However, when the villagers suddenly learn that Mr. Yao has passed away, will they doubt it?" I still have some concerns.
The master shook his head and said, "That's not true, the village chief has already told the teacher that Mr. Yao's surviving relatives are not in Niutou Village, and as for the distant relatives, they can be notified later." However, Mr. Yao has a beginner apprentice named Bo Xuanshan, who followed Mr. Yao to learn the craft of paper binding for several years, and then opened a paper binding shop in Phoenix Town. But Mr. Yao's apprentice doesn't seem to be welcomed, especially the village chief of Niutou Village, saying that this Bo Xuanshan is not a good person, and he is afraid that after he knows about Mr. Yao's death, he will search for his family's funds, so Mr. Yao's death cannot be known to his apprentice for the time being. β
I was stunned, and dared to feel sorry for the old village chief and the master who had said so much in the house, and immediately asked, "Master, then don't you worry about the village chief's bad intentions?" Now he is the only one in the village who knows about Mr. Yao's death and the corpse beads in Mr. Yao's mouth, what if he takes it away? β
The master smiled bitterly and said, "The village chief has an upright and simple appearance, and most of them don't want to get rich. But taking a step back, if he is really greedy, he can only bring disaster to himself, but he will not be able to get rich. Because he has no such windfall in his life, and if he wants to rob it without it, evil will befall him. Whether it is a blessing or a curse, it all depends on his thoughts. In addition, he is also the village chief of Niutou Village, and this matter can only be handled by him, and there is really no second person to find besides him, alas, let's go. β
"Master, where are we going now? There is no clue about the matter of the paper man, and the matter of Mr. Yao is so big again......" I scratched the back of my head, turned my head to look at Phoenix Town in the distance, my eyes lit up, and said: "Master, why don't we ask Mr. Yao's apprentice, since he has inherited the mantle of Mr. Yao, maybe he can give us some clues about the paper mantle!" β
Master nodded: "This makes sense, but if we go to find that Bo Xuanshan now, it is equivalent to leaking the news of Old Mr. Yao's death." But Weishi has already promised the village chief of Niutou Village not to talk about this matter for the time being. It's better for us to settle down in Phoenix Town first, and when the time is ripe, it's not too late to inform Nabo Xuanshan of this matter! For this Boxuan Mountain, I also want to see it in person and demonstrate the evaluation of the head of Niutou Village! β
Speaking of which, the three of us walked briskly towards Phoenix Town. Two hours later, we slowly descended the hillside, and just about to enter Phoenix Town, but on the official road outside Phoenix Town, we encountered a carriage!
The carriage looked like a carriage from afar, but up close it looked like a cart pulled by a mule. There was a person on each side of the cart, not that the cart and the mule attracted us, but that the things pulled on the cart were particularly conspicuous in the moonlight. It's also extraordinarily mad...... That, there are all paper crafts on it, especially the four paper figures placed in front, plus other paper crafts, a big car is piled up.
Maybe it was because the paper man in Dongpo Village almost killed Wang Yu, so when I saw the paper man, I immediately stopped the mule cart sensitively, and the person who drove the car saw me, hurriedly pulled the mule, and asked in astonishment: "You, what are you going to do?!" β
I immediately asked, "Where did the paper figures you pull come from?" Where are you going to send it?! β
The person who drove the car was a middle-aged uncle in his forties, and on the other side, an old man in his sixties. β
"You!" I pointed at the middle-aged uncle angrily, but I had nothing to say, yes, why should I let people tell me?
"Two dogs!" Master came to me at this moment and shouted angrily, "Don't be rude! This eldest brother, the apprentice is young and ignorant, and I hope to forgive me. We are also looking for a paper maker, but when we arrived in Niutou Village, we couldn't do it, and now we meet you, so I want to ask. β
When the middle-aged uncle heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Oh, so that's the case, we also know Yao Qianshou in Niutou Village, but that old Mr. Yao is old and has very little business, and we haven't been to his paper making skills for a long time." Now the best paper craft is sold by Mr. Yao's apprentice Bo Xuanshan, you may not know, Bo Xuanshan opened a paper shop in Phoenix Town, we are just from his paper shop to pull the goods, ready to send to Broom Bay, there is a village there to sell. β
"Oh?" The master was stunned and looked at the paper handicraft on the board car, and then smiled: "Then can we see how the paper handwriting technique of Bo Xuanshan is?" If it's okay, we'll go straight to Boxuan Mountain! β
The middle-aged uncle nodded and said, "That's okay, but you are not allowed to touch it, if you touch it, even if we send it to the place, I'm afraid people won't want it." β
"It's nature." Master smiled, walked quickly to the cart, and then said, "Dare to ask which village you are sending to?" β
The middle-aged uncle was stunned and said casually: "Broom Bay, Xiadong Village." β
"That'...... Can we talk about it? Master said with a smile: "Now you have just left Phoenix Town, there is still a long way to go from Naxiadong Village, it is better for us to pay double the price, you sell this car of paper crafts to us, and then you go back to the paper shop in the town to pull a car out, so that not only will not be delayed, you can also make more money, how about it?" β
"Uh......" The middle-aged uncle was suddenly a little stunned, he hurriedly glanced at the old man opposite, but saw that the old man shook his head, the middle-aged uncle hurriedly said: "This, this is not good, although we are trying to make money by helping people pull goods, but we can't make money like this, and then sell it for money, which is irresponsible for the owner who hired us." We don't do this, and this is a complete set of paper craft, how can there be a second set of paper shops in the town for us to pull? So you can't make this money even if we want to. Besides, you can go to the paper shop and buy it again, why did you stop our car in the middle of the night to buy ours? β
Master sighed lightly, seeing that these two people said nothing and refused to leave the paper making skills on the car, after hesitating for a moment, Master suddenly said to me: "Ergou, you go to Xiadong Village with them, Xiao Yi and I will go to the town to find Nabo Xuanshan, and we will rush to Xiadong Village when we turn around, after you go, you have to pay more attention, you know?" β
Hearing Master's slightly meaningful words, I already knew that there must be something wrong with the paper-making craftsmanship on this car. But we can't stay now, I'm afraid we can only divide the troops into two ways, one way to follow these two people to Xiadong Village to make a decision, and the other way to the town to find Nabo Xuanshan, and ask the reason why the paper man is a ghost! I nodded heavily and said, "Master, I understand! β
After seeing the master leave, the middle-aged uncle who was standing aside looked at me in astonishment and said, "You guys...... What the hell is going on with you? Why did you want to follow us to Kasumidong Village? β
I just wanted to speak, but I shook my head with a smile and said, "I followed you to Xiadong Village, and we have our business, but I won't destroy your business, you still send your goods, and lead me to the place by the way." What's the matter, uncle, can't I follow you? β
The middle-aged uncle thought about it, and said with a wry smile helplessly: "Hehe, you don't know who you are one by one, Guli is weird, but I don't think you look like bad people, since you want to follow, then follow." As he spoke, the middle-aged uncle called out to the old man on the opposite side and drove the mule on the road.
I was lonely and speechless along the way, and I was bored, so I had nothing to say: "Uncle, how long have you been helping people pull goods?" β
The middle-aged uncle smiled casually: "That's my dad on the other side, I'm forty-three years old this year, what about my dad, sixty-five years old, my dad was helping people deliver goods before I was born, how many years have we been working with father and son?" Hehe! Hearing this, I was stunned, this father and son are really delivery professionals! I've been doing this for so long.
After thinking about it, I immediately asked again: "By the way, uncle, how many orders of business have you given away recently?" Where are they delivered? β
The middle-aged uncle thought for a while, and then said: "It's strange to say, I have done two such businesses in the past month, in fact, there are not many people who are willing to spend money to buy so many paper crafts, usually just buy a few wreaths or something to fill the faΓ§ade, the strange thing is that the first two orders of business are also from Xiadong Village, Broom Bay, and now it is the third order, or that Xiadong Village, hehe!" Strange or not, do you say? People are still dying in droves. By the way, little brother, what are you asking for? β
"Huh? Oh, nothing, nothing. I hurriedly smiled and shook my head, but my heart was beating wildly, according to what the middle-aged uncle said, two people died in Xiadong Village, and within a month. Now it's the third, what does that mean? Thinking of this, I hurriedly asked again: "Uncle, can I ask one more question, who are the two people who died in front of me?" How old is it? β
The middle-aged uncle frowned, and then said in surprise, perhaps he was quite interested in talking about these evil things. Immediately spoke: "If you want to say that the two who died, they are naturally old people who have passed away, but this time we heard that two more people died in Xiadong Village, and they are both young men, one is twenty-five years old, and the other is only twenty years old. This time it's ...... who died again."
"Uncle, don't say it, let's hurry up and get to Xiadong Village as soon as possible!" Hearing this, I couldn't calm down anymore, and hurriedly urged the middle-aged uncle to hurry up to Xiadong Village. It seems that there was a problem with the two paper tie techniques sent earlier, otherwise how could two young people die soon after? In addition, an old man who died this time, counting back and forth, five people died in Xiadong Village in a month, and the two old people in the front are not counted, and the two young people who died in the middle naturally belonged to the premature death, and they were not worthy of enjoying these paper crafts, and they could not even enter the ancestral grave. So this car's paper handicraft must also be aimed at an old man, but I don't know if the person who is dead now has anything to do with the paper man in front!
