Chapter 244: Come in the Night (Nearly 3,000 words, thank you to all readers for your support!) )
The three of us looked back at almost the same time, and when we saw a man on a bicycle on the street, who was about to be in his twenties, I said, "Do you know the old lady of this coffin shop?" ”
The young man's face immediately changed a little, and he said, "I don't know, but I know that there is such an old lady, and she is long gone, what are you looking for her?" ”
"Gone?" I was stunned and asked.
"Yes, you see the locks on that door are rusty, and this coffin shop has been closed for four or five years. Do you really want to make a lot of shops in front of the coffin, why do you want to come here? The young man asked, always on the other side of the road, not approaching this side at all.
He didn't say that he didn't pay much attention to it, so when I said this, I looked down and saw that the locks were all rusty. But how to explain our experience just now, Dad and Shen Yue's faces were also suspicious, could it be that the old lady just now was really a ghost, this is really strange, can you still see ghosts in broad daylight?
"We don't make coffins, there are some things, by the way, do you know Lin Ji coffin shop?" I asked, and I thought the young man knew something, so I thought I'd ask for it.
The young man didn't answer, he just looked up at the plaque on the old lady's coffin, a very old plaque, which had been beaten by the wind and rain.
But the words on the plaque can still be distinguished, and Shen Yue has already read it out: "Lin Ji coffin shop!" ”
Because those words are traditional characters, and the plaque is almost hidden under the eaves, it is not that the young man looked at it so much, we thought it was a broken wooden board, and it was placed there to block the skylight!
", there's nowhere to find when you step on the iron shoes!" Shen Yue said.
No wonder I couldn't find it all the time, I didn't expect this to be Lin Ji's coffin shop, but the business card says No. 13 East 18 Hutong, how can it be here?
I felt more and more curious about this coffin shop, and at the same time I had an inexplicable sense of fear.
The young man on the other side saw that we were still not leaving, he seemed to be a little scared, his face was a little unsightly, and he stepped into the car and was about to leave.
In this way, he must know something, Shen Yue reacted quickly, rushed over and ran directly to the young man, pinching the handlebars of his bicycle, he said: "Wait a while, wait a while, ask about something, does the old lady have any relatives or something?" ”
That young man naturally didn't have Shen Yue's strength, he really couldn't leave, and he probably regretted saying that just now. He said with a frustrated face: "It's really frustrating, I really shouldn't have said that." I really don't know if the old lady has any relatives, but, to be honest, I don't think you are any bad people who want to remind you, that coffin shop is very evil, I advise you to save it later! ”
"Evil sect, what an evil sect, let's hear it, I like this!" Shen Yue said.
"It was four or five years ago, I don't remember the exact time, I was still studying outside in those years, and I also heard from others. Do you know how this old lady died? The young man said in a low voice.
"What the hell?" Shen Yue asked cooperatively.
"I heard that she made a coffin for herself, and then lay down in the coffin and suffocated to death, and later, people often saw an old lady standing at the door of the coffin shop in the evening, still wearing a shroud." The man said, and as he spoke, he glanced in the direction of the coffin shop, and his face turned white with fright.
"Purple?" Shen Yue asked deliberately.
"You...... Did you see that? The man was so frightened that his pupils dilated, his face turned pale, and he struggled from Shen Yue's hand and ran away. After boarding the car and riding out a few steps, the chain fell off, he turned around and cursed in the direction of the coffin shop, and then pushed the car and continued to run, and disappeared after a while.
"Lin Ji Coffin Shop" was found, but it was completely different from what I imagined. I was thinking, a person like Song Wenbiao, who is as timid as a mouse, if he comes here to take a few photos, he must not be scared to death by the old lady.
"Xiaofan, everyone is dead, and the coffin shop is closed, do you think we were tricked by Song Wenbiao's grandson?" Shen Yue asked, he walked to the door of the coffin shop, the previous wooden door could push open a crack, and Shen Yue looked through the gap.
"Ouch, my mother!" Shen Yue took a few steps back at once.
I rushed over with my father, and I immediately asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"See for yourself!" Shen Yue said.
Dad had already gone over to look at it, and he turned around and said, "It's just a few paper people, nothing to be afraid of, but the coffin shop has been closed for a few years, and these paper people are still new!" ”
"What...... Paper piercing people, damn it, scared me to death, I thought it was the old lady! Shen Yue said, the beads of sweat on his forehead came down. However, the Taoist priest of Maoshan is also a human being, and he will not be afraid when he sees these things, he will be afraid, but he just knows how to deal with some yin things.
"Alright, let's go back first!" Dad suddenly said this at this time, I don't understand a little, since those paper ties are new, maybe there is someone in it? What the young man said just now may be some rumors made up by several coffin shops for competition. Now that he's gone, is Daddy going to give up, or is it because Daddy has his own plans?
"Go back now, won't you look for it?" Shen Yue asked.
"Didn't the old lady say just now, tell us to come over at night, then let's come over at night!" Dad said, just now on the ancient street over there, the old lady stood under the eaves and said that.
"Do you really want to come at night?" Shen Yue asked, this kind of place is really exciting enough to come at night.
Dad is good, but at this time, he turned back to Shen Yue and said: "If you are afraid, it is okay for me and Fanwa to come over at night, Fanwa and I will not blame you, this matter has little to do with you." ”
"Comrade Lao Yang, what I said is out of sight, Xiao Fan is a friend, you and my master are old friends, how can I rest assured that the two of you will come to such a place?" Shen Yue patted his chest and said.
"Okay, let's meet that old lady together that night!" Daddy said with a smile.
This trip during the day was not in vain, and I finally figured out the location of Lin Ji's coffin shop. There are a lot of questions, but I'm sure we'll be able to find some answers by the time we go back in the evening.
After going out, I walked along the ancient street all the way to the west, and there was nothing to do during the day. Shen Yue has always said that he has never been to Luoyang, and he wants to take a good stroll, this kind of ancient street is his favorite. Shen Yue even picked up some antiques at the antique stalls in the ancient street, and my father was very economical, but he still bought a very beautiful mahogany comb, and he didn't need to ask if he was going back to give it to my mother.
While strolling around, chatting, drinking soup near Lijingmen at noon, extraordinary soup, Shen Yue drank that called a beauty, and said that Lao Tzu would settle in Luoyang when he became rich. When he went out from Lijing Gate, he met with the second grandfather and them when he went outside, and when he got into the car, Shen Yue showed the second grandfather the things he had picked up from the stall.
In fact, at this time, Sister Zhang already knew the truth about the soul exchange, and the second grandfather was not prepared to hide it all the time, so after arriving at the car, everyone was not as embarrassed as the atmosphere on the street before.
The second grandfather also seemed to have a deep study of antiques, he took those things from Shen Yue's hand, just glanced at them, and asked, "These are all new goods, pay the tuition!" ”
The second grandfather should be talking about the jargon of the antique industry, but you can understand the meaning after a little thought. Shen Yue didn't seem to believe it yet, he said: "This is Yuan Datou, I heard that it is very valuable, second master, take a good look, this old feeling, this quality, it should be right!" ”
"You put it on your nose and smell it!" The second grandfather reminded.
Shen Yue naturally did so, he sniffed it, frowned and said, ", what's the smell?" ”
"Soak in the pit!" The second grandfather said.
Shen Yue's eyes widened, and he hurriedly took away the paper and wrapped the thing, and me, Sister Zhang, and Dad all laughed. Of course, only Ah Kun at the front still had a cold expression.
"Second master, you tease me, let me smell what I soaked in the pit?" Shen Yue's face was depressed.
"Uncle Shen, the second master is for you to remember, don't be deceived in the future!" Sister Zhang next to her giggled and said.
"Zhang Da Beauty, your title is a bit problematic, you must know that your second master's young and handsome face is mine, don't make a mistake, Shen Ye and I are still little fresh meat!" Shen Yue said.
The two of them were fighting back and forth along the way, and I also lay down a gun from time to time, and during the day, there was nothing to do, and Ah Kun drove us around to play. At six o'clock in the evening, after having dinner together, we were ready to go to the coffin shop in the ancient street again, and the matter had to be clarified.
Unexpectedly, at this point, there are people coming and going on the street, but those people seem to be in a hurry, the street lights here are very dim, and they can't see their faces clearly, and they always feel that everyone is weird, and the cold wind is swishing behind them.
In the distance, I saw an old lady standing at the door of the coffin shop of Na Lin Kee, wearing the purple shroud we saw during the day.
