Looking at the photos in my hand, I couldn't help but feel strange, the back of the person in the photo is very similar to my grandfather, who is he, and why is he in this coffin shop?

This reminds me of what my grandfather said to me when he died, that one day I will see my grandfather again, and his death is just a change of way of being. At the time, I even thought that my father's words were comforting me, but after that, some things gradually made me feel that it was not just comforting, maybe it was true.

For example, the person in the photo, I am now very anxious to meet the owner of the coffin shop, and I urgently need to confirm the identity of the person in the photo.

If it's really my grandfather, I think it won't be long before I can see him.

Thinking of this, I quickened my pace, from the most prosperous place in the ancient street, all the way to the east, in front of which I could see a drum tower, which was very deserted. I don't know if it's because of the atmosphere, I always feel a cool breeze on my back, maybe it's because of the shroud wreath paper shop, urn coffin shop or something along the street, but many of these shops are closed.

The names of those shops couldn't be compared with the name of the coffin shop on my dad's business card.

My dad even went up and knocked on the doors of a few houses, but no one responded, and finally knocked on one, and an old lady's face stretched out from the door, her face was furrowed, and her voice asked hoarsely: "Do you want an urn, a wreath or a longevity?" ”

Coldly sticking out such a face from the dark room, I was really taken aback, and Shen Yue next to me also swallowed his saliva, probably also stunned.

My dad was calm, he immediately took out the black business card from his pocket, and asked, "Old man, do you know where this coffin shop is, we haven't seen it on this street for a long time!" ”

"It's useless for you to show me this, I'm an old lady who can't read, let's go, come in and talk if you buy a wreath urn!" The old lady said, her little eyes staring at us, which made me think of the yellow skin essence I met when I was in the slope, yes, this is the feeling.

Daddy opened his mouth to ask, but the wooden door slammed shut, and the inside was even bolted.

No matter how much my dad knocked on it, there was no response inside, so my dad looked at the black business card and continued to ask: "Auntie, this is called Lin Ji Coffin Shop, have you heard of it?" ”

There was no response, and Dad had to give up.

"I said Xiaofan's father, it's strange that people will tell you if you ask like this, doesn't it make it clear that Lin Ji's coffin shop is robbing business!" Shen Yue said.

I think Shen Yue is right, no one wants to give up their business to other families.

However, just as we were about to leave, there was a sound of the door opening from behind, and before we looked back, it was the same hoarse voice that said: "You are going to Lin Ji coffin shop, I have heard of this coffin shop, but it is not my old lady who wants to steal business, I really just heard of this coffin shop, and there should not be many people who know where it is on this street." However, you can go past the drum tower and continue to walk to the east, I don't know if you can find it. ”

"Thank you, auntie...... Dad immediately turned around and thanked him, but it was gone halfway through the words, I was a little strange, I looked back, and found that the coffin shop just now was not open at all, where did the sound come from?

Daddy even went over and knocked on the door, but there was no response.

It's really a strange old lady, Shen Yue also said: ", in broad daylight, why do I feel that all the ghosts on this street are ghostly?" ”

"Don't scare yourself, you're still a Maoshan Taoist!" I said to Shen Yue, but I also felt the cold on my back, and goosebumps would rise involuntarily.

Shen Yue glanced at me, sneered, and said, "I'm a Maoshan Taoist, you're still an onmyoji, you take a mirror and take a good look at your pale face, as if you've rubbed powder." ”

Dad walked straight to the side of the drum tower, and I didn't follow Shen Yue to be poor, so I followed along the ancient bluestone street.

As he walked, he checked the address on the business card and said to himself, No. 13, East 18th Hutong. After looking for a long time, I couldn't even find the East Eighteen Hutong, let alone the Thirteenth.

In the middle of those old buildings, there are many alleys that are more than a meter wide, and we have been looking left and right for a long time. Later, a problem was discovered, and if you can find East 17 Hutong and Dong 19 Hutong, you can't find Dong 18 Hutong. Back and forth, I looked at almost every narrow path and couldn't find it.

Shen Yue took the pitch-black business card from my father's hand, flipped it over and over a few times, and then he said, "Xiaofan, weren't we tricked by that Song Wenbiao?" ”

"He shouldn't have the guts to play us like that, right? Besides, it doesn't do him any good to play us! I said.

"That's the same reason!" Shen Yue said.

"Fanwa, take out the photo and take a look!" Dad reminded me that I took the photo out of my pocket, and Daddy took it and looked at it carefully, then compared it with my surroundings.

That's when I realized that my dad was looking for a photo environment. Indeed, I had been staring at the back of my grandfather, and had never looked closely at the surroundings of the photo.

After looking at it for a while, Dad pointed to a small flag-like shop sign in the photo and said, "Look, Ma Ji Plaster Pharmacy, it's over there, this place should be right." ”

I took a closer look, and it was true, diagonally opposite where we were standing was the Ma Ji Plaster Pharmacy, and the original color of the flag was no longer clear, but now it was gray and yellow. Judging from the photo, the figure who resembles my grandfather's back is not far from where we are, a little to my right.

The East 18th Hutong should be where we are now, but there is not even a small aisle in this place. I, Shen Yue and my father even went into some small alleys to look for a long time, but there was no clue, no wonder the old lady in the coffin shop just now said that there are not many people on this street who know that place.

At this time, it was almost noon, and the sky was gloomy, so if you couldn't find it, you couldn't do anything. When I was about to go back to the second grandfather to discuss countermeasures, there was a sound of clattering footsteps on the street behind, and it was very clear on the deserted street.

"You guys haven't left yet, you've said it, few people on this street know that place, you all go back, it's not a good place." Listening to the voice, I knew that it was still the old lady in the coffin shop before.

I looked back, he was standing under the eaves of the opposite house, his furrowed face looked a little uncomfortable, and in addition, he was wearing purple clothes, which looked like a shroud, and when he turned around, he was startled by the old lady.

The three of us were a little stunned, what is this old lady doing here all of a sudden?

"If you three really want to buy a good coffin, go to my shop and sit down, and you will be satisfied!" Dare to love this old lady is here to sell.

"Oh...... No need, we didn't come here to buy a coffin, or to ask the owner of Lin Kee's coffin shop about something! Daddy said.

"Well, then come back in the evening!" The old lady suddenly said this.

As she finished saying this, there was a sudden "clang" in the old room next to us, and all three of us were attracted to look into the next room.

A very dilapidated old house, the door was closed, and a black cat came out of the broken window, meowed, and disappeared.

"Damn, it's a cat!" Shen Yue said.

At this time, I looked back at the eaves on the opposite side, and found that the old lady who was standing under the eaves was gone. There is an alley next to it, and there is no one to chase it over.

Immediately, I felt hairy on my back, was the old lady a human or a ghost just now, why did she say that it was gone in a blink of an eye? However, I had a hunch that this old lady knew the location of the "Lin Ji Coffin Shop", and my father also thought of this, and then continued to knock on the door of the coffin shop.

After knocking for a long time and no response, a young man's voice behind him said, "Who are you looking for?" ”
