Chapter 104: Tailor Wu
The young woman in front of me is the bride and the second girl who stopped the wedding car with Xiaoqing and me last year and borrowed the wedding flowers. Originally, I thought that even if I found the second girl's house, the second girl would definitely not be at home, because someone else had already married out, but I didn't expect it to be there, and it should be back to my mother's house to save my relatives, so it would be easy to do... I haven't seen each other for a year, and these two girls have a big belly.
Xiaoqing jumped out from behind me like a corpse, frightened the two girls, and took a step back.
"You are?"
"She..."
I was about to speak, Xiaoqing blurted out, "I'm Yang Xiaoqing!" β
"Yang Xiaoqing?" The second girl was stunned, "Do I know you?" β
"She..."
"It's just... It's just..."This little Haruko didn't know what to say when she was excited, "It's the one who borrowed the flowers from you last year... That and that... Woman! β
"Poof..."
I almost ran out of breath, hunched over my stomach and coughing.
"Laugh and smile..."Xiao Qing rolled her eyes at me and stepped on me.
The second girl was also happy and covered her mouth with her hand.
"Girl, do you remember?" Xiaoqing asked.
The second girl nodded, stopped laughing, and asked softly, "Is there something wrong with you coming here?" I don't like flowers anymore..."
"We don't like flowers, what..."
This little Qingzi was upside down, and she didn't necessarily pull out anything, so I hurriedly pulled her aside.
"What's that, second sister, we came here because we wanted to ask you something." I said.
"What's the matter?" The second girl asked.
"For a while, I can't tell, I can't tell, the family says, it's weird and cold outside, you see you..." I smiled and gestured with my hand.
The second girl blushed and lowered her head. Xiaoqing looked at her stomach, and then at herself.
"Then let's sit at home..."After the second girl finished speaking, she turned around and walked towards the courtyard.
"Let's go, don't look at it, you're embarrassed to look at it, people have a baby after a year of marriage, what about you?"
"Do you care?" Xiaoqing pouted.
"I warn you," I whispered, "just follow me honestly, don't be surprised, there's no edge, do you hear?" β
"I know, no wonder Sister Xin calls you Master Wordy..."
"Heh, you're still not convinced, is there anyone who talks like that? I was the one from last year... That young woman. β
"Brain hypoxia, hehe..." Xiaoqing smiled embarrassedly, and then her chin tilted, "I'm not wrong, Sister Ben, I've been married for so long, I'm not a young woman, is it still a girl?" β
I couldn't cry or laugh, and my heart said, this Xiaoqing has a good life and marries a good husband, otherwise, she is headless and brainless, if she marries a scumbag, some can bear it... She and Uncle Yang are two, one is stupid and the other is slippery, both of them are unreliable.
"Come in, you two," the second girl shouted.
"It's coming... Let's go. β
I pulled Xiaoqing behind me and walked into the courtyard first. This is a very ordinary farmhouse courtyard, the yard is spotlessly cleaned, and there is a melon and vine shelf on top. In the middle of winter, the shelves are empty, and in the summer, the vines are entwined, and it should be cool for people to walk underneath. On the walls of the house, there are frozen meat, frozen hairtail, and shriveled red peppers.
It's very warm in the house, and the parents of the second girl are there.
"Youβ" The old man looked at us nervously.
"We..."
I dragged Xiaoqing and smiled at the old man, "Uncle, we are the two people who liked the flowers on the way to the second sister's kiss last year, you should still remember, we came to find the second sister for something..."
"Wow..."
This old man looks honest, and the second girl went to make tea. I swept around the room with my peripheral eyes, and said in my heart, this village doesn't look like an evil spirit, if Master's inference is correct, then I feel that the evil spirit should be in the village where Ah Feng and Uncle Yang went... Master once told us that naturally formed evil spirits are rare, they are formed by the condensation of evil qi in places where feng shui is bad, or where the magnetic field is distorted, and the 'medium' of the evil spirits that become evil, which may be animals, plants, or people, and the naturally formed evil spirits will not leave the place where they were formed, and even if they occasionally run out and harm others, they will still return to that place later...
said so, whether this is really the case, in fact, the master has no bottom in his heart, he found it from ancient books, what is the natural evil like, he has never seen it...
"Come, tea... What are you looking for me? The second girl asked.
"Huh?"
I came back to my senses and said in my heart, no matter whether there is evil here, since I have come, I can't run in vain, and I should ask what I should ask.
"What, second sister, I want to ask, where did the happy flower you gave us come from."
"Where did it come from?" The second girl was stunned for a moment, "Our tailor Wu in the village made it, why are you asking this?" β
"Oh, what..."I pointed to Xiaoqing, and said seriously, "My sister is going to get married in the future, she is a tenacious guy, and she insists on wearing the same happy flowers as when you first got married, saying that there is joy, so I will take her to ask..."
Xiaoqing stared at me.
"She's married?" The second girl looked at Xiaoqing, "Didn't she just say that she was a little young last year..."
"I..."
Xiaoqing wanted to speak, but I quietly stepped on her under the table with my foot, smiled at the second girl, and said, "Oh, that's the case, she and her husband-to-be have been living together for three or four years, and they will only have a happy event after the year..."
"So that's the case..."The second girl looked at Xiaoqing again, and she didn't know what she was thinking, and her face turned red.
"I..."
"That's it!" I interrupted Xiaoqing and stood up, "Trouble the second sister, tell us where the Wu tailor lives." β
"I'll take you there."
"You're like thatβ" I looked at her stomach.
"It's okay, it's okay..."
"Sister Xin is right, Ah Leng, you are a bastard, you will only bully me." Walking on the road, Xiaoqing pouted and whispered.
"Don't talk nonsense, do you want to save your dad..."
"Hmph..."
Xiaoqing and I followed the second girl to Tailor Wu's house. Before I even entered the door, I heard the sound of a sewing machine clacking, and there was a lot of fabric hanging in the yard.
"Angkor is busy..."
"Yo, the second sister is here."
This Wu tailor is in his thirties, and he is together, and I suddenly feel a little familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere.
"They areβ" Tailor Wu pointed at me and Xiaoqing.
"They..."
"Sister, go back first, and we'll take care of the rest." I smiled.
After the second girl left, I took out a cigarette and handed it to Tailor Wu.
"Yo, such a good cigarette..."Tailor Wu smiled all over his face and took it with both hands, "Thank you." β
"You're welcome," I smiled and muttered to myself, have I seen this person anywhere?
"Look at the two of you dressing, it doesn't look like you're here to make clothes, are you going to do something else?" Tailor Wu asked.
"Oh, we..."
Suddenly, I remembered... At the beginning, Xiaoqing and I went to borrow a dead man's button, and in Wang Mangui's village, before we were beaten, we were scared to death by the Wang family... The person in front of him looks a little similar to that Wu Erdan...
"What's wrong?" Tailor Wu may have seen that my expression was different, and asked.
I stared at him and asked coldly, "Do you know Wu Erdan?" β
Tailor Wu's hand shook, and the cigarette fell to the ground, "He, he's my brother!" β
"Your brother?" I frowned.
"That's right, he's the second, the little name is Erdan, I'm the boss, the little name is Dadan, I came to this village upside down. The second egg has been dead for a year, what do you ask him to do? β¦β
How could it be such a coincidence? β¦ My mind raced, and it seemed that something suddenly came to mind, but my mind was still vague... There is only one thought that is relatively clear, it is not a coincidence, this must not be a coincidence...
"I mean, are you here to make clothes?" Tailor Wu asked.
"It's not." Xiaoqing said.
"Yes, it's not." I said too.
"Why don't you just go, I'm busy." Tailor Wu said angrily.
"Let's go?" I smiled coldly.
"How?"
I waved my hand, "Haruko, close the door." β
"Okay."
"You, what are you going to do?" Tailor Wu was so frightened that he shrank back, "I'm calling someone!" β
"Call someone?" I sneered, "If you dare to call someone, I will dare to pinch your chin off." β
"You dare!"
I looked left and right, grabbed a thick wooden board that was padded underneath the cloth when I measured it, and smashed it on my elbow, breaking it in half at once, "Do you see if I dare..."
Tailor Wu's eyes were straight.
"You don't have to be afraid, I won't hurt you, as long as I ask you anything, you will answer." I threw the plank away, sat down on a stool, and lit a cigarette.
"You... You you ask. β
"Wu Erdan is your younger brother..."
"Yes, yes."
I glanced at him, put the cigarette in my hand, blew the ash of the cigarette, stared at the red cigarette butt and said slowly, "Your brother was caught stealing other people's fish and pushed other people's old men into the pond, and then the matter was revealed, and other people's people wanted to beat him, and then he was scared to death, right?" β
"You... You know..."
"Of course I know," I smiled, looked at Tailor Wu, snorted, and said word by word, "Because, I was the one who pulled him out in the first place." β
"Ahh Original... It turned out to be you! β
"Why, do you want to avenge your brother, just come." I said lightly.
"No, no, no," Tailor Wu waved his hand repeatedly.
"Okay, then I'll ask you."
"You say."
"Did you cut the clothes your brother was wearing?"
"Yes, I cut the clothes he wore when he died..."
My heart moved, and it was exactly what I expected!
"Actually, I don't have a good relationship with my brother."
"Oh?"
"He's just a scoundrel, he usually steals chickens and dogs, bullies the soft and fears the hard, often doesn't often come to me, asks me for money for tobacco and alcohol, I don't give it to him, just mess with me, now that he's dead, my life is much more comfortable, so I should thank you..."
"Is the clothes also the one he made for you to play a scoundrel here?"
"Of course."
"Where did the fabric come from?"
"What good fabric can I give him?" Tailor Wu pursed his lips, "The rags I picked up from outside the village, and after rinsing them, I changed them..."
"Well, that's true, for someone like him, it's good to give him some defective products to wear."
"That's right."
"Huh," I smiled, "what if it's for anyone else?" β
Tailor Wu was stunned for a moment, "Of course I won't do that to other people, they all use high-quality fresh fabrics." β
"Really?" I stared into his eyes and said slowly, "Okay, then let me ask you, when the second girl got married, where did the wedding flowers and fabrics you made for her come from..."
