Chapter 138: Wordless Wood
"Senior brother?"
I muttered, what's going on, first it was about the master, and now it's about the senior brother, what is hidden in this matter, how can it involve both the senior brother and the master?
I stared at the shopkeeper for a while, and wondered, "What idea did my senior brother give you?" ”
He raised his eyes and looked outside, and said in a deep voice: "I still remember what your senior brother said to me, he said, your restaurant is the owner's thing, how can you hang other signboards casually, in his opinion, smashed this new signboard earlier, burned it, and then made a shrine in the southeast corner of the restaurant, three pillars of incense are offered every day, to ensure that your restaurant is fine." ”
"You did?" I hurriedly asked.
He smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, I did what your senior brother said, don't say it, just that night, I had a dream, I dreamed of a twenty-three or four-year-old woman, wearing a white dress, kept saying something to me, because it was in a dream, I didn't hear what she said to me, but, since then, there has been no accident in my restaurant." ”
Hearing this, I immediately understood, if I guessed correctly, this restaurant really has an owner, once other signboards are hung, the original owner will naturally not agree, and this is why a series of strange things will appear.
However, if this is the case, this restaurant will look too evil!
When the shopkeeper saw that I didn't speak, he thought I didn't believe him, so he said, "Chuanzi, don't believe me, I'm telling you the truth." ”
I smiled bitterly and hurriedly said, "I believe it, by the way, has Li Yang ever been to this restaurant?" ”
"He, he often comes over, the first few times he came, he wanted to find me to take back the restaurant, Chuanzi, how can you say that there is such a truth in the world, I bought it back with real money back then, even if the price is cheap, but this restaurant is also mine!" When the shopkeeper said this, his tone was so excited that he almost didn't jump.
I smiled, and I didn't know what to say, so I looked at him and asked, "How many times did Li Yang come later?" ”
The shopkeeper was stunned, thought about it carefully, and said: "I've been here seven or eight times, and every time I burned some yellow paper at the door of the restaurant and left, I saw that he just burned yellow paper, and he didn't make any noise for the restaurant, so I didn't pay much attention to him."
"Did he enter the restaurant?" I asked again.
His complexion changed suddenly, and he said: "There are so many rumors about him in the town now, where do I dare to let him enter the restaurant, it is strange to say, then Li Yang seems to know that he is a bit evil, and he didn't come in." ”
I looked at him deeply and asked him something about Li Yang, and to my great dismay, he didn't seem to have any interest in Li Yang's affairs, and just wanted to pull me to find some gold bars.
At that moment, I told him euphemistically that I didn't have time to tinker with those things, and told him that now Li Yang has become like this, more or less related to those gold bars.
The shopkeeper was a smart man, and when he heard what I said, how could he understand what I meant, and asked me a few tentative questions, basically asking me if I really didn't go?
My answer to this question was very simple, and I told him that I would never go.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper's face was obviously a little decadent, but fortunately, he was also scared, so he said: "Chuanzi, you tell me a word from your heart, if you have the opportunity to get half a room of gold bars, will you go?" ”
I smiled and said, "If you ask a hundred people this question, you will get a hundred answers, depending on how you choose." ”
"Understood, thank you." The shopkeeper smiled at me, handed me another cigarette, and said, "By the way, Chuanzi, do you want to go and see the shrine that your senior brother made for me back then." ”
I nodded, and didn't speak.
The shopkeeper took the lead and walked outside, and I immediately followed, thinking that he had gone down to the first floor of the restaurant, but what I didn't expect was that he led me out of the restaurant.
When I passed by Zi Yangtao and the cauliflower head, the cauliflower head was eating with his head stuffy, and Zi Yangtao gave me a look, meaning to ask me what the situation was.
I gestured to him to mean it was okay and walked out with the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper led me to a corner outside the restaurant, where there was a low dark black stool with a shrine on top of it.
"My restaurant is open to do business, and I can't put the shrine in the restaurant, otherwise, those diners will see it and think that there are unclean things in my restaurant." As soon as I got to the shrine, the shopkeeper explained to me.
I snorted, what he said was true, our side is more superstitious, and placing the shrine in the restaurant will indeed make people mistakenly think that there are dirty things in the restaurant.
This is also something that cannot be helped, after all, the countryside is like this.
Wait, something seems wrong with this shrine!!
At that moment, I crouched down and stared at the shrine, and found that what was enshrined in the shrine was actually a two-finger-wide wooden board, and there was no word on it.
Wordless wood?
What does this mean?
If the senior brother gave the shopkeeper an idea back then, he would have carved Xiao Min's name on this wooden board.
After all, this shrine is dedicated to the owner of this restaurant, but why did the senior brother make such a wordless wood?
I looked at the shopkeeper and asked, "Boss, what is this wordless wood for?" ”
He smiled awkwardly and said, "This! Listen to your senior brother, this wordless wood seems to represent the three gods and the original owner of this restaurant. ”
Three gods?
I frowned, and the three gods that came out of my senior brother's mouth should be Jiamu God Zuo Youming, Ding Sanshen Liu Quanshan, and Wudeng Shenmeng Sanniang.
It's just that these three gods, we ghost craftsmen rarely use them, unless we encounter something that we can't solve, we will invite these three gods to come out, can't the senior brother solve this matter, so we invite these three gods out.
Thinking of this, my brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and I asked the shopkeeper, "Is this wordless wood used behind cinnabar mixed with chicken blood, engraved with the words A, D, and E?" ”
As soon as the words fell, the shopkeeper was surprised: "How do you know? ”
Hearing this, my face sank even deeper, and my two eyebrows were squeezed together, if it was really three words carved with this material, it definitely meant that the senior brother could not solve this matter back then.
In this way, the whole thing will become more tricky, and it can even be said that this is not only about Li Yang, but also about this restaurant.
More importantly, I'm more worried that this matter will become more and more involved.
For a moment, I didn't know what to do.
When the shopkeeper saw that I didn't speak, he asked me, "Chuanzi, is there a problem?" ”
I thought about it for a moment and asked him, "How long has it been since the shrine was placed?" ”
He thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow seems to be exactly three years old, what?" Is there a problem? ”
