【061】Ox cart
As the night wore on, the town of Winterwood slowly became quieter.
Shang Yan was lying on his bed, looking at Doctor Who playing on the computer screen, but he felt a little sleepy.
I don't know if it's because of the lack of yang energy in the cemetery, Shang Yan always feels cold and swishing around, even if there is a quilt covering, his body is still frozen, so Shang Yan really can't fall asleep.
And the same is true of Wen Pao, this guy has been video chatting with his girlfriend since 8 p.m., and has been chatting until 11:52 now.
If Shang Yan hadn't warned him in advance not to tell him about the Green Soul Female Ghost, he would have probably shaken out all the things that happened in Li Bo's house just now.
"Wen Pao, what are you doing now?"
"I'm talking to you, you've asked this question for the eightieth time."
"Wouldn't it be boring for you to live alone in the country?"
"It's okay, it's mainly because you're missing."
……
Listening to the words coming from the next room, Shang Yan felt that even the air was filled with the sour smell of love.
Jingle bells! Jingle bells!
Just when Shang Yan wrapped up the quilt and planned to warm himself up, a light bell suddenly came from outside the window.
The voice was extremely crisp and moving, making Shang Yan's attention immediately focused.
Jingle bells! Jingle bells!
The bell was getting closer and closer, as if it was approaching the old mansion, Shang Yan suddenly felt vigilant in his heart, got up and walked towards the window, intending to see what was making this sound.
With the help of the lights in the house, Shang Yan saw a bull cart walking out of Qingyang Mountain and constantly walking towards his old house.
There was a kerosene lamp hanging on the cart, and there was a person sitting, although it was dark outside, Shang Yan couldn't see the appearance of this person clearly, but in the current situation, this guy looked too strange anyway.
Shang Yan has encountered too many strange things in the past few days, and under the conditioned reflex, he quickly took out the ice talisman and peace talisman in his pocket, and watched with his eyes vigilantly as the cart got closer and closer to the old mansion.
Jingle bells! Jingle bells!
When the ox cart was only more than ten meters away from the old house, the man suddenly stopped the ox cart, and then walked to the old house and shouted, "Is anyone there?" Ask you if you are doing business. ”
Shang Yan stretched out his hand and pushed open the window: "Who are you?" ”
The man raised his head, and because of the straw hat he was wearing on his head, Shang Yan still couldn't see his appearance clearly.
"Cattle driver, does the little brother want to do business with me?"
Shang Yan suddenly wondered in his heart: "Business? What business? ”
"Little brother, don't worry, you went to Guolianggou Yizhuang some time ago, right? I'm also a regular visitor there, and I'm here to do business with you. ”
When the other party mentioned Guolianggou Yizhuang, Shang Yan was suddenly shocked, only three people had seen the matter of driving the corpse there, Tugou and Ye Jinya, and Lin Yingda.
But even these three people don't know where they live, so how does this straw hat man who came out of Qingyang Mountain know?
Shang Yan secretly held the ice talisman in his hand, walked out of the door, and walked down the stairs, Wen Pao didn't notice Shang Yan's actions because he was lying on the bed and video chatting with his girlfriend.
Crunch!
Opening the door, the straw hat man was already standing outside the door, but his behavior was unconventional, even if Shang Yan opened the door, he didn't mean to step further, just stood motionless, looking at Shang Yan with a pair of eyes that were not easy to detect.
With the help of the lights in the room, Shang Yan could see clearly what the person in front of him looked like.
I saw that the other party's face was full of vicissitudes, and there was a knife mark five or six centimeters long above and below his left eye, and his eyes were very deep, like a pool of springs that I don't know how deep.
It's a middle-aged man.
These are all things that ordinary people can observe with their eyes, but in Shang Yan's yin and yang eyes, he sees more different scenes.
I saw that behind this man, there was a large black fog as thick as ink, and the yin qi in it was very huge, which made people feel jealous.
Seeing Shang Yan's eyes looking behind him, the middle-aged man couldn't help but ask with interest, "Why, do you see it?" ”
"You mean the black mist behind you?" Shang Yan asked rhetorically.
"Hey, hey, even among the corpse chasers, there are not many people who are born with yin and yang eyes, little brother, you are very talented." The middle-aged man buttoned his ears: "First of all, let's introduce yourself to my little brother, you can call me old money, just like you, I also do the business of the dead, but I am just an ordinary corpse transporter, and there is no way to compare with a corpse chaser like you, little brother." ”
"Old money...... So what is the matter with you coming to me now? No, how did you know I lived here and that I was a corpse chaser? Shang Yan asked with a frown.
This inexplicable situation of being exposed to his identity and details made him feel very unhappy.
After all, the other party's origin is unknown, although he took the initiative to reveal his identity in order to make Shang Yan feel at ease, but it still made Shang Yan vigilant.
It should be the most appropriate to use the phrase "the enemy is in the dark" and "I am in the light" to describe Shang Yan's current situation.
Faced with Shang Yan's inquiry, Lao Qian did not hesitate, and immediately answered his question out loud.
"I have a trading relationship with Lao Lin for many years, and he usually shares things with me, a few days ago I learned from him that there was a new-faced corpse chaser in Yizhuang, and I didn't care about it at first, but when I was transporting the corpse tonight, I suddenly found that the yin qi here was extremely heavy, so I followed the yin qi to find it."
"Generally speaking, it is unlikely that a populated place like Dongmu Town will have such a strong Yin Qi, and the Yin Qi is heavy, either the Yin Veins of the underground earth are leaking, or someone is deliberately gathering Yin things, so I know that the new corpse chaser may live here."
Shang Yan said suspiciously: "Your reasoning is a little too hasty. ”
"The corpse chasers who drove a large number of corpses were all from other provinces, and most of the people who drove one or two corpses were locals, Lao Lin and I have been in our province for so many years, and this judgment ability is still there."
"Okay." Shang Yan softened his tone a little and asked, "What business are you looking for me?" ”
"That's the case, I've always been a person who specializes in transporting goods, if you have a corpse that you want to transport to Yizhuang, but it's inconvenient to go, you can entrust me to transport, I will pay 90% of the amount given by your Lao Lin, and the remaining 10% will be deducted as the freight I charged, if you feel interested, you can learn about it." Lao Qian smiled: "After all, it is very tiring to chase corpses at night, and it is also dangerous, I think you should have a deep understanding as a corpse chaser." ”
This smile immediately exposed the two unusually dazzling golden front teeth in his mouth.
