Chapter 178: Dowry
I don't know how many ghosts there are in the old well. Read the full text of the latest chapter
There are no less than ten ghosts that I can see just now, not to mention the others, even those ten ghosts, it will not be easy to deal with.
The laughter from the well made the officers in the courtyard immediately retreat further than far enough, and their faces turned pale with fright.
One of the police officers directly weakened his legs, fell to the ground, shaking all over, and the other police officers dragged him aside.
"Don't panic, girls, they can't get out in broad daylight." Wang Dalang walked up to me, sighed and shook his head.
"Uncle Wang, what should we do next?" I remembered that Wang Dalang had instructed me not to call him master when there were outsiders.
Of course, the outsiders Wang Dalang said did not include Xie Yiming.
Wang Dalang was silent for a while, made a phone call, reported our location, and said that the other party should send more people over, and the price would be negotiable.
Ten minutes later, I saw several people pushing a dump truck into the yard, and the dump truck was full of mud and sand.
Wang Dalang asked them how many people had come, pointed to the old well, and said that they should fill it up before the sun went down.
The men replied casually, saying that they had come ten of them, and that it was easy to fill in the old well before the sun went down.
Wang Dalang turned his head to look at Xie Yiming and me, and said that he wanted to go back to the incense mounting shop, bring some more things, and explain that Xie Yiming and I were waiting for him here.
I nodded and sent Wang Dalang to the mouth of the alley.
Out of the yard, I saw that directly opposite the mouth of the alley, a rear eight-wheeler was parked there, and several dump trucks were unloading mud and sand from the rear eight-wheeled car.
The old house in Meishan is in a deep alley, the alley is very narrow, and barely two dump trucks can be parallel, such a width greatly hinders the progress of transporting sediment into the well.
I sent Wang Dalang to the mouth of the alley, told Wang Dalang to pay attention to safety when driving, and after seeing Wang Dalang drive away, I turned around and prepared to return to the old house in Meishan again.
I didn't understand what role Wang Dalang could do in dealing with the ghosts in the old well by having people transport sediment into the wellhead to fill the well.
However, I know that Wang Dalang will not do useless work, and it must be useful to fill the well with sediment.
I can only hope now that before the sun sets, these workers will be able to fill in the well according to Wang Dalang's instructions. [To read the latest chapters of this book, please search]
Just as I turned around and was about to return to the old house in Meishan again, my phone rang.
When I took out my phone from my pocket, I saw that it was an unfamiliar number, and I answered the phone casually.
On the phone, it was Luo Guotou's voice, saying that this was his new number, and asked me how I was doing.
This phone call is the first time Luo Guotou contacted me after leaving Zishan Village during the Spring Festival.
I replied to Luo Guotou, I was fine, and asked him how he was now.
Luo Guotou told me that he is still following Zhang Tiedan, and he is all right.
Luo Guotou's answer silenced me.
He was full of hatred for Zhang Tiedan, and he continued to follow Zhang Tiedan, no matter how good it was.
I was silent, and Luo Guotou was silent for a long time.
After a while, I said to Luo Guotou that Uncle Luo is old and stays alone in the small village of Purple Mountain, and it is time for him, a son who works hard outside, to go back to take care of Uncle Luo.
Luo Guotou on the other end of the phone said yes repeatedly, saying that in another month, he would go back to the small village of Purple Mountain, pay good tribute to Uncle Luo, and never leave the small village of Purple Mountain again.
Luo Guotou's another month made me frown, and I asked Luo Guotou what he was going to do in a month.
Luo Guotou said with a smile, don't do anything, just transfer the matter at hand, so I don't have to worry about him.
I said to Luo Guotou, before doing anything, think about Uncle Luo first, don't be impulsive.
Luo Guotou said that he knew that in only one month, he would return to the small village of Zishan in a month.
After saying this, Luo Guotou said that there was something on his side, and before I could speak again, he hung up the phone directly.
Luo Guotou's phone call made me worry, a month later, I hope Luo Guotou can return to the small village of Zishan safely, and there will be no situation.
I put my phone in my pocket, went back to the old house in Meishan, and waited with Xie Yiming for Wang Dalang's return.
Xie Yiming went to the house and brought a chair for me to sit and rest, and chatted with me.
It's okay at this moment, I asked Xie Yiming about his master.
Xie Yiming told me that he met his master when he was three years old, and he was tricked into becoming an apprentice by a lollipop.
Xie Yiming's words made me raise my eyebrows, and at the same time, I couldn't help but laugh, urging Xie Yiming to continue to tell me.
Xie Yiming said that he lived with his grandparents when he was a child.
His grandmother knew a few superficial things about dealing with ghosts.
Since he was a child, his body has been weak, and it can be said that medicine does not leave his body.
Once, his grandmother took him out to play, and by chance, he met Jiang Yan.
At that time, his grandmother went to buy him water to drink, and he played alone in the grass.
Jiang Yan passed by him, turned back again, squatted in front of him, looked at him for a while, then took out a lollipop from his pocket and asked him if he wanted to learn from him.
Xie Yiming said that he was only three years old at the time, where did he know what it meant to learn skills, and he only nodded and agreed to Jiang Yan's mention because the lollipop that Jiang Yan gave him tasted sweet.
When his grandmother came back from buying water, he had already reached an agreement with Jiang Yan, that is, he would apprentice to Jiang Yan because of Jiang Yan's lollipop.
When Jiang Yan saw his grandmother coming back, he talked to his grandmother.
He couldn't remember what Jiang Yan said to his grandmother, but he remembered that when his grandmother heard Jiang Yan speak, her forehead was constricted at first, and then she was very excited, and she nodded again and again when Jiang Yan said it again.
After his grandmother finished talking to Jiang Yan, she picked him up from the ground and said that he had met a nobleman.
Since then, he has become Jiang Yan's apprentice.
However, Jiang Yan's whereabouts are uncertain, and he can't see him a few times a year.
Every time Jiang Yan saw him, he would teach him some strange skills, and he would also tell his grandmother to boil some special medicinal juices for him to take a bath.
Ever since he learned those strange skills, bathing in special potions, his body has been getting better and better, but he has also begun to find his differences.
He began to be able to see ghosts at night.
The first time he saw a ghost, he scared him too much, he told his grandmother that he could see ghosts, and his grandmother sighed and told him, as long as he didn't mess with the ghost.
Jiang Yan's uncertain whereabouts lasted until he was ten years old.
Since he was ten years old, he has seen Jiang Yan more often, that is, in that year, he officially apprenticed to Jiang Yan.
Speaking of this, Xie Yiming pulled out the red rope around his neck and let me see a small jade gourd on it, saying that this was given to him by his master when he was ten years old, after he officially apprenticed.
I stared at the little jade gourd, unable to hide my surprise.
Xie Yiming's little jade gourd is exactly the same as the little jade gourd that Old Man Yan gave me back then.
Jiang Yan, Old Man Yan, could it be that Xie Yiming's master is actually Old Man Yan?!
"Ming, is your master Old Man Yan, you see, I also have an identical little jade gourd." I pulled out the red rope I was wearing around my neck, revealing the small jade gourd that Old Man Yan gave me back then.
Exposed by me from my clothes, there are also yin beads on the red rope and connected to the small jade gourd.
I was really surprised at this time, and coupled with my deep trust in Xie Yiming, I didn't think it was wrong to let Xie Yiming see the Yin Bead.
"Old man Yan, this name seems to match my master, but my dear brother met my master, so you can't call it that." Xie Yiming smiled, glanced at the small jade gourd around my neck, and was not half surprised.
Xie Yiming stretched out his hand and stuffed the exposed jade gourd and yin beads into my clothes for me and covered them again.
"Hey, let me ask seriously, is Jiang Yan an old man, do you have a photo of your master?" I let Xie Yiming stuff the small jade gourd and yin beads into my clothes, and hurriedly asked Xie Yiming.
Xie Yiming told me that he didn't have a photo of his master, and the old man Yan in my mouth might be the same person as his master.
I was not satisfied with Xie Yiming's answer, and stared at Xie Yiming with a frown.
Xie Yiming shook his head with a smile and told me that his master had told him that the small jade gourd was originally a pair.
It's just that before he officially apprenticed, his master had already given away another small jade gourd, and it was said that it was still a girl who lived in a small village in Zishan at the time.
Xie Yiming's notification this time made me smile big and full of joy.
In this way, Old Man Yan and Jiang Yan are the same person, and Old Man Yan is Xie Yiming's master.
Xie Yiming took my hand with a smile on his face, and said that he didn't know, if his master had the ability to predict the future, he actually gave the little jade gourd as a dowry gift early and sent it to me.
Xie Yiming's words made my cheeks hot.
I asked Xie Yiming if he had known for a long time that I was the owner of another small jade gourd.
Xie Yiming nodded, saying that he was very curious about who the owner of the other small jade gourd was after hearing the master say that he had given another small jade gourd to someone else.
When he was in junior high school, he also made a special trip to the small village of Purple Mountain.
Over the years, my grandmother and I have never moved out of the small village of Purple Mountain, so that he can easily find out about me.
Xie Yiming said that when Tang Sike and Han Tianqin asked him when he was tempted by me, he replied that it was during his freshman military training, but it was not.
The correct answer should be long before the freshman military training, but he didn't know the specific time, just like that, when he paid attention to my affairs, he was unconsciously moved.
