When I heard the boss say that the warlock surnamed Wen was just a middle-aged man in his thirties with full arms, I couldn't help but be a little disappointed in my heart and asked, "Is this person from the Jiangling Wen family in the north?" ”

The boss said: "Yes, yes, Jiangling Wen family, this Jiangling Wen family!" Are you from the north? ”

I shook my head and smiled, "No, we've just heard about the Wen family in Jiangling County, who is said to be a very famous mage. "The north side of this boss's mouth is actually the boundary north of Dongting Lake. I know the Wen family in Jiangling County that when we were investigating the whereabouts of the third uncle, I and the lion head also focused on investigating the warlock surnamed Wen.

The Wen family in Jiangling County is a family of warlocks that have been passed down from generation to generation, and we first suspected that the one-armed warlock surnamed Wen was from the Jiangling Wen family, but we checked and checked later, and we didn't hear that anyone in the Wen family was one-armed, so we gave up.

The boss smiled: "The Wen family in the north is really famous, it is said that they can pinch and calculate, and they have competed with living immortals, as long as they are invited to do the Dharma and keep it smoothly, it is definitely very powerful." ”

I can't help but laugh when I hear it, ordinary people don't know what to do, listen to the wind is rain, and often praise people more than the gods. However, judging from the news inquired by the lion's head, the Wen family in Jiangling County does have real skills, and it is said that it has been passed down for many generations.

Just thinking about it, he heard the reckless spirit "Huh", and said: "Isn't there any powerful person in our south, how can it be his turn to be in the north to be majestic?" ”

It was strange for me to hear her say something like that all of a sudden. I heard the boss slap the table and say, "Ouch, you little girl knows our Dongting Lake very well!" ”

Seeing that I was a little surprised, the reckless spirit smiled and said, "Don't you know? The people in the south of our lake have always been at odds with the people in their north, and they have to compete for everything. ”

I really didn't know there was such a thing. The boss said: "The little girl is right! This matter, I have to talk about the Southern Song Dynasty, when the Jingjiang River was flooded, and the group of people in the north sent people to dig Hudu on the south bank of us overnight in order to keep their own land, wanting to kill the water with water and stop the water potential. Who knew that when we were digging Hudu that night, we dug up a problem, and as a result, the flood poured into Dongting Lake like thousands of troops, and our south became a country of Wang Yangze overnight, with countless casualties. ”

"Just because of this incident, our people in the south naturally hold a grudge against their people in the north, and scold them for secretly executing our south bank at night is too shady, and since then the people in the south and the two places have formed an insoluble enmity."

This is the first time I've heard of this. Reckless Jing glanced at me and smiled, "This is what my grandfather told me." Speaking of her grandfather, her expression couldn't help but darken.

I digressed the topic and asked, "What went wrong when I dug for the tiger crossing?" ”

The boss shook his head and said, "I don't know much about this." This has always been passed down from generation to generation by the older generation. However, some people have heard that it is said that the group of people in the north dug up many snakes when they were digging tigers. As for whether it's true or not, it's uncertain. ”

I frowned a little and glanced at Sao Bao's face. The guy was burying his head in eating lotus root slices, and he had almost eaten up the big plate, and when he saw me looking at him, his mouth was stuffed with something, and he said vaguely: "Look what I do?" That was nearly a thousand years ago, how do I know that much? ”

I didn't expect much from him, thought about it, and asked, "I've heard that there is a yellow gate in the south of us, which doesn't seem to be worse than the Wen family on the other side?" ”

The boss sighed, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Little brother, you are very knowledgeable!" They have the Wen family in the north, and there is a yellow gate in the south of us, which is definitely not worse than them. However, these two are usually very low-key, and even many locals don't know much about it, so I can't imagine that a few of you outsiders know it so clearly. ”

I smiled and said, "A few of us are usually interested in some strange things, especially some capable mages, and we are more concerned. ”

The boss suddenly said: "I see." He immediately sighed again and said, "Originally, the affairs of our south will naturally be handled by our people from the south." We have the Yellow Gate, which round to get their Wen family to intervene. But things are not coincidental here, not long ago, the old man Huang of the Yellow Gate suddenly died of illness. ”

The reckless spirit let out an "ah" and said, "How come? I heard my grandfather say that this old man Huang is a few years older than my father, very young, why did he die? ”

The boss shook his head and said, "The world is impermanent, who knows?" However, some people say that the old man Huang is actually not sick. He lowered his voice and said, "There's a problem here." ”

When I saw that he was talking mysteriously, I simply asked cooperatively, "Why, is there any other reason?" ”

The boss smiled: "It's all hearsay, so everyone will have fun." ”

Sao Bao's face was waiting impatiently, and urged: "Hurry up and say it!" The boss lowered his voice and said, "I heard that this old man Huang died very strangely, and it was by no means as simple as getting sick." Old Man Huang has been dead for almost a month, and he hasn't mourned yet, and he doesn't let people worship, do you think it's strange? ”

I was moved when I heard it, this thing is indeed a little strange, as the saying goes, death is great, if it is a normal death, it is impossible for the Huang family to deal with the funeral like this. I wondered in my heart whether there would be any connection between the few strange things on Dongting Lake. Moreover, will there be any connection with the disappearance of Gu Sihan and Boss Ma.

The boss said, "Well, you think this is strange too, right?" I heard that after Mr. Huang's accident, the Wen family in the north also came to the door to mourn Mr. Huang. After a pause, he added, "Guess what?" Someone saw it, when the Wen family left the Yellow Gate, all of them had a bad face. We feel that this is not a simple thing. ”

I smiled and said, "The boss is very good at analysis." ”

The boss smiled: "Let's open a tea shop, they are all guests who come and go, usually drink tea, eat a snack, and like to chat about some and not, so that a few jokes." ”

I laughed and said, "No." I also have to ask the boss about whether I have seen such a group of people passing by here about two months ago. He described the appearance of Gu Sihan and his group.

The boss thought for a while, shook his head and said, "There shouldn't be." According to what the little brother said, this group of people should be very eye-catching, if I have seen it, I will definitely not forget it. ”

I was a little disappointed, so I heard the boss say, "There is another strange thing, do you want to hear it?" ”

Before I could answer, Sao Bao's face urged: "Speak quickly, talk quickly, it's interesting!" ”

The boss smiled and said, "There are really not many people who know about this, and I also heard from a friend." This friend of mine happened to be working in the Yellow Gate, and I heard him say that the Yellow Gate has recently found a lot of strange people to come in. ”

"Strange people, what's that?" Reckless asked.

The boss said: "I heard my friend say that these people don't know where they came from, and it seems that they specialize in taking care of corpses." ”

Reckless thought for a moment and said, "Is it to make up the corpse?" Was it specially invited for Mr. Huang? ”

The boss hesitated for a moment and said, "Probably...... But according to my friend, what is the name of the cobbler? ”

My heart moved, and I said, "Second leatherman? ”

The boss slapped his thigh and said, "That's right!" It's this second cobbler! I also asked my friend at the time what a second cobbler is. My friend said that these two leathermen are corpse sewers, who specialize in taking care of the dead, but this is what they were called in ancient times, and no one calls them that anymore, they are all called corpse makeup artists, mortuaries or something. ”

I was pondering what the boss said, and when I looked up, I saw Liang Ruozhi looking at me, and when she saw me looking at her, she smiled at me, and then avoided her gaze. This reckless spirit probably heard her mother tell me where I came from, and knew that I used to work as a second leatherman, so she looked at me like that.

Reckless Jing picked up a peanut, put it in his hand and played with it, and asked: "Then even if the Huang family wants to find someone to take care of Old Man Huang's body, they don't need to find so many people, isn't it a bit weird?" ”
