I don't know how long it took for the feng shui master to fall asleep in a daze. When he woke up, it was already dawn, and the old gentleman and the old Taoist priest had already gotten up, afraid of waking him, so they stood at the door and talked about something in a whisper.

Because he was lying in his clothes, it was very convenient to get up, and the feng shui master quickly turned over and got out of bed, and after saying hello to the two old men, he simply freshened up, and then the maid brought breakfast.

The feng shui master hastily ate a few bites, I don't know if I ate too much last night, or if I was too nervous today, anyway, I don't feel very hungry.

Before leaving, the feng shui master checked the revolver again, loaded it with bullets, and stuck it in his waist; The old Taoist priest also put the stone wrapped in human skin on his shoulder, and the feng shui master knew that with this stone, the thoughts of the people around him would not be easily snooped on by the blind old man.

After everything was cleaned up, the old gentleman called a more clever servant and asked him to take the feng shui master and the old Taoist priest to the silver horn in the town. Of course, the old gentleman would not tell the servant the truth, but only that the two of them wanted to go around the town and go to the silver horn by the way.

The village is not far from the town, only four or five miles of mountain roads. This town is considered to be at the foot of the mountain, and the transportation is relatively convenient, so the villagers of the mountain villages in this area often come here to buy and sell things, although it is not too big, but in addition to the county seat, it is a more lively and prosperous place in this area.

Because I listened to the old gentleman's introduction, the blind old man usually waited until dusk before coming to the silver number, but they were afraid that if the blind old man came early today, it would be troublesome to miss it, so in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, they came to the town so early and came to "wait for the rabbit".

The servant originally wanted to take the two of them around the town, but for the feng shui master from Shanghai, how could this shabby place be called prosperous? Even the most remote alleys in Shanghai can't compare. Although he came relatively early, and there were not many people on the street, there were still a few people who recognized the old Taoist, and also came over to give gifts and say hello, in order to avoid being recognized by more people, the old Taoist priest was even less interested in hanging out, so the two directly asked the guy to take him to the silver horn to see.

Not to mention, the scale of this silver trumpet is larger than the two of them imagined in advance - it is a shop built on the street, it is very spacious, there are seven or eight houses in it, and people come and go, the business is very good, there are nearly ten people in the silver trumpet alone, there are more than ten silversmiths, and only after asking the servant did I know, because this town is an important medicinal material trading market, many medicine farmers on the mountain will sell medicine here, and the number of herbs here is large, the quality is good, so many merchants who do the business of medicinal materials are not far away, Even thousands of miles have come here. In this way, there is naturally a great demand for silver horns.

No wonder the old gentleman's family is so particular about food, clothing and housing, it seems that it is indeed enough to earn.

The bookkeeper who went to the old man's house last night was in charge of taking care of the place, and suddenly saw the servant leading the old Taoist priest and the young man he saw last night, and hurriedly came up to greet him enthusiastically.

Because the old Taoist priest is a celebrity in this area, of course, Mr. Ledger has heard of it, and he wanted to ask the old Taoist priest for some feng shui problems, but every time he meets the old Taoist priest, there is always the owner present, and it is not convenient to ask more, and when he saw the old Taoist priest come to him, of course he was very excited, and hurriedly let them into the counter, sitting in a small room inside the counter, this room is separated from the outside by a cloth curtain, but "the eyes are not separated from the ears" - although the outside can not be seen, but can be heard. Although the cubicle was not large, it was fairly clean, and there were pairs of ledgers on the table.

The three of them sat down, and after the tea, Mr. Bookkeeper said with a smile on his face a little excited: "Dao Chief, you can be regarded as the most famous person in our area, many of my friends are very envious of me, saying that since you are the best friend with our host, then I should also be very familiar with you, they all want me to introduce you to know, alas, to be honest, although I am fortunate to have seen you in the owner's house several times, but I have never had the opportunity to talk deeply, I didn't expect you to come to me today, it is really rare."

"Sir is polite, it's all famous, I'm just a decrepit old man, and I'm not as godly as everyone says," although the old Taoist was full ......of worries, he couldn't bear to refute the enthusiasm of others, so he could only deal with it. The feng shui master, on the other hand, lifted the curtain and carefully observed the people coming and going to see if there was any trace of the blind old man.

This bookkeeper has a lot of words, asking east and west, one will ask if the feng shui of his ancestral tomb is suitable, and one will ask what location to choose for the house he built, just like that, he has been chatting with the old Taoist priest until noon, because around noon is the busiest time in the silver number, so he had to quit and go outside to take care of the business, leaving the two in the house.

The guy in the store brought them a few side dishes, steamed buns, and gruel from the back room, although it was not rich, but it tasted very delicious.

The feng shui master was indeed hungry, but he was afraid that during the time of eating, he would miss it if the blind old man came, so he took a steamed bun and looked outside while nibbling on it.

The old Taoist priest looked at him like this and smiled slightly: "Have you forgotten that I can feel the yin and yang qi on that blind man, and I don't need to look at it to know whether he is coming or not."

The feng shui master smiled a little embarrassedly and embarrassedly: "It's not that I don't believe in the old-timers, I don't look at it, and my heart is even more anxious and unbearable. ”

Of course, the old Taoist priest understood his current psychology, so he didn't say anything anymore.

That's it, the two waited and waited, but the blind old man just didn't show up, and the feng shui master took out his pocket watch and looked at it, it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon. At this time, there were more and more customers in the silver number, and there happened to be a guy who came to pour water for them, and the old Taoist priest pretended to be casual and asked: "The business in the shop is good enough, it's all this time, and there are still so many people."

The guy said with a smile on his face: "You don't know, afternoon is our busiest time, because after noon, the medicine farmers in the nearby villages have rushed here to sell medicine, and the merchants who collect medicine are of course also in this period of time to buy the most, and the money needed will naturally increase, so it is the busiest time, which will be busy until the time of the lamp." ”

Sure enough, what the shopkeeper said was right, as it got getting late and late, there were more and more merchants in the store who came to play and exchange money, which was really a bit bustling.

It was getting darker outside, and it was a little overcast in the evening, which made the sky even darker. There are a lot of large and small candles lit in the shop, and there are a few large brazier-like oil lamps, which brighten up the shop.

But the blind old man still did not appear. The feng shui master tensed his nerves for a day, and gradually relaxed a little, because he seemed to feel that today, for some reason, the blind old man would not appear, a strong sense of loss, surging from the bottom of his heart, making him feel very bad, he put down the curtain, rubbed his eyes a little sore, and felt a little sore. Gently picked up the tea on the table, took a few sips, and moistened his dry lips.

The old Taoist priest next to him seemed calm and relaxed, sitting on a chair, closing his eyes and recuperating, not saying a word, and not showing any irritability.

Suddenly, the old Taoist priest opened his eyes suddenly and whispered, "He's coming."

When the feng shui master heard this, his whole body was like an electric shock, every cell became excited, his eyes lit up, as if he couldn't believe his ears, and his voice was too excited and a little trembling and asked the old Taoist: "Old man, did you mean that the blind old man is here?" ”

The old Taoist priest nodded firmly.

The feng shui master immediately stood up, touched the gun on his waist with one hand, and gently lifted the curtain of the door with the other to look out - there were really more people outside at the moment, and the sound was also very noisy, because the lights in the room were very bright, so he could see everyone in the room clearly.

He looked at them one by one, but was surprised to find that among the forty or fifty people in the store, none of them were old men, and the oldest seemed to be about fifty years old, and he was still a big fat man. Among these customers, most of them are in their twenties and thirties. He was afraid that he would be wrong, so he hurriedly looked at them one by one, and there was indeed no blind old man! Could it be that the old Taoist priest felt wrong this time?

He couldn't help but turn around and whisper to the old Taoist priest: "Old man, is that blind old man really here?" I've watched it several times, why not? ”

The old Taoist priest didn't answer him, but walked to the door by himself with a stern face, and also picked up the curtain and looked out with the feng shui master. Suddenly, the old Taoist priest whispered in the feng shui master's ear, "Do you see the person next to the pillar?" It was the one who wore a silk robe and glasses. ”

As the old Taoist priest spoke, he quietly pointed with his finger, and the feng shui master followed his fingers, and sure enough, there was a man in a silk robe, and that person looked to be in his thirties, because there happened to be a big oil lamp not far away, so the man's face could be seen very clearly - his face was very white and slightly fat, his hair was combed shiny, and his glasses were very businessmanlike.

The man was not in a hurry to withdraw money, save money, or anything like that, but looked around from time to time, as if he was observing the store.

The feng shui master asked in a low voice, "Do you say that the man is the blind old man?" ”

The old Taoist priest nodded and said, "From the yin qi emanating from his body, you can know that he is, whether the appearance of the blind old man is his true face, or the current appearance is his true face, in short, it must be this person." Don't forget, he's a master of disguise, and there's another way to verify it, you try to get close to him and see if there's a shadow in his left eye, which he can't disguise."

The feng shui master's brain was spinning rapidly, although he completely believed in the judgment of the old Taoist, but for some reason, he still wanted to verify the identity of this blind old man in person, because these things were so bizarre that he always felt a little illusory, if he saw the shadow in the man's eyes with his own eyes, he could convince himself that this was indeed the murderer of his wife.
