Chapter 039: Going Far Away
I took the pillow under my neck, turned over and looked at Zhou Xiaoqin and said, "Say what you ask, as long as I can do it, I will definitely not refuse." β
Zhou Xiaoqin was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Why are you so good to me?" Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you? My twin brother and I are mortal enemies...... Zhang Wenbin, you make it difficult for me to do this......"
I smiled and said, "One yard is one yard, now you and I are married, I'm not good to you, who is good to whom?" Say, what's the matter, grinding and chirping, this is not your style......"
Zhou Xiaoqin sighed and said, "Zhang Wenbin, I want you to go to our hometown and find my bones and bury them." I haven't been able to play to my strength now, mainly because my bones are still not buried. I don't know if it's because I didn't find it in my hometown or if it's a mistake to bury it, but I want you to go over and investigate...... Now that you're like this, I'm really a little reluctant to let you go far away, if you feel embarrassed, wait for the future to stop by or have time......"
I waved my hand at her: "Just now, tomorrow I will call my senior brother with money, so that my master can change his kidney and recuperate with peace of mind, if the money is not enough, I will borrow some from Da Jiang, anyway, take out the money at one time, and then I will be fine." When my feet are healed, I will go with Mr. Qi and Brother Qiang. What do you think? β
Zhou Xiaoqin pointed to my two ankles wrapped like zongzi and said: "It's already good, it's just corpse poison, Mr. Qi must have watched too many zombie movies, and actually thought of using glutinous rice ......"
I looked at her with black lines: "You mean, corpse poison doesn't need to be removed by glutinous rice?" β
Zhou Xiaoqin stroked the hair on her ears: "Nonsense, that's nonsense in the movie, why do you believe it?" I've been wanting to say it just now, but Mr. Qi cares so much about you, I'm afraid that he will be embarrassed to say it, after all, he is so old. β
I smiled: "Since it's okay, then I'm relieved." Tomorrow we will pay for it, settle things over here, and we can go. β
Zhou Xiaoqin had a smile on her face: "Really? β
I nodded: "Nonsense, what did I lie to you about." Okay, you go back to the jade pendant, I'm going to sleep too. β
When I opened my eyes in the morning, Mr. Qi and Qiangzi had just entered the door with a cup of soy milk and a few steamed buns.
"Awake? So, get up and eat. Anyway, this glutinous rice really works, I looked at your ankle when I got up, and it was completely recovered, and I couldn't believe it was true. It's amazing, glutinous rice can really clean up the corpse poison, it seems that I will have to watch Lin Zhengying's movie if I have nothing to do in the future, it is not nonsense......"
I'll it!
Mr. Qi sat opposite me, lit a cigarette and said these words triumphantly, I wanted to cry and laugh, last night I was so determined to let Da Jiang find glutinous rice, it was only because of the plot in the movie...... If it weren't for Zhou Xiaoqin's action, maybe my two feet would be wasted by this goods!
I sat up helplessly, put on my shoes and went to wash, I really didn't have the heart to listen to Mr. Qi's nagging.
When I was eating steamed buns, Xiaoru suddenly pushed the door in, and I looked at her curiously: "The sun is coming out in the west today?" Why do you wake up so early? β
Xiaoru pouted: "Brother Binzi, I've been fired!" β
I almost bit my fingers: "What? What's going on? No, aren't you the Oiran in your shop? How do you say that if you are opened, you will be opened? β
Xiaoru snorted: "Didn't I go back late when I came over last night, and then the manager with the shift disciplined me, I naturally wanted to fight back, but he settled the salary with me and told me to get out!" Brother Binzi, are you recruiting people here? I don't have anywhere to go now......"
Before I could speak, Mr. Qi said, "Recruit!" Miss Xiaoru, we are short of a talent like you. Our old men can't communicate well, with you, many times Huang's business can be negotiated, after all, women are good at talking. Binzi, don't patronize and eat, say something. β
I nodded: "Yes, recruit people, Xiaoru, you can stay in our store." β
Such a big beauty, even if she doesn't do anything in the store, it is pleasing to the eye.
Xiaoru looked at me in surprise: "Brother Binzi, are you serious?" Do you really want me to come over? β
I nodded: "I'll go to work today, you can figure out how to live by yourself, this store is occupied by Mr. Qi and Brother Qiang, although my low-rent house has two bedrooms and one living room, but someone has just died downstairs, I'm afraid you won't dare to live." We were going on a long trip recently, and you stayed behind to take care of the shop. If there is someone who buys spiritual jade, you can register it, and when we come back, we will take the initiative to sell it, this thing must be targeted, and it cannot be sold blindly. β
Mr. Qi was a little curious about my arrangement: "Go out?" Where to? β
I said, "Go to Zhou Xiaoqin's hometown, didn't you promise someone?" Let's get the trivial things done in these two days, and let's go! Mr. Qi, Brother Qiang, this time I made my own decisions, don't mind. β
Mr. Qi said indifferently: "You are the boss, you just have to call the shots." β
After Da Jiang came, we first contacted the master who repaired the glass door and the roller shutter to come and fix the door, and then I took the money and went to the bank with Da Jiang to give the money to my senior brother, the 200,000 plus I had 100,000 on me, almost 300,000. This is enough for the upfront cost of my master's kidney replacement, and as for the cost after the kidney replacement, I will definitely be able to earn it at that time.
Da Jiang learned that I was going to Zhou Xiaoqin's hometown, so he transferred 50,000 yuan directly to me from the card: "As the saying goes, the poor are rich, and there is no money on you when you go out?" Anyway, this is going to my father-in-law's house, so I have to be decent. By the way, Binzi, where is Zhou Xiaoqin's hometown? β
Today I asked Zhou Xiaoqin, and she said what kind of place is called Centipede Ridge. Just deep in the mountains at the junction of two lakes, a small place that you can't find on a map.
Da Jiang said as he drove: "Centipede Ridge? The name of this place is dangerous enough, why don't I go with you? β
I waved my hand: "You can pull it down, take care of your construction site, don't keep following us blindly, delay you to make money, your wife still has to fight with me?" It is estimated that it will be back in two or three days, and it will be regarded as a tour. β
Da Jiang nodded: "Your experience in the past few days is also legendary enough, and you really need to go out for a walk." I'll leave it all here, don't worry, no one will touch your shop. β
Two days later, we got ready and headed to the train station to take the car.
Brother Qiang's ghost head knife can't be brought to the car, we have already sent it in the name of handicrafts through the courier company the day before, and it is estimated that when we arrived, the knife was already waiting for us at the courier point in the town.
Sitting on the train, Mr. Qi regretted a little: "I knew that we should have asked Mo Lao to test the good luck, in case it is a sign of great evil, we should have to withdraw." β
I handed him the phone: "Call now, anyway, my master doesn't have any at this time, isn't it a matter of minutes to calculate a hexagram for you?" β
Mr. Qi shook his head: "Since you have already set off, what does it matter, if the result is not good, it will affect your mood, and if you are in a bad mood, it will affect your luck, and if you are unlucky, you will rush over." Forget it, sleep! Binzi, if it's too dangerous, we have to come back when we should come back, we can't insist. β
I nodded: "Don't worry, I'm not stupid." β
Brother Qiang is still in a daze, as if he usually has so many hobbies. I wanted to find a topic to talk to him, but he was not interested, and he didn't talk about it after changing several topics, so I simply shut up and looked at the scenery whistling by outside the car window in a daze.
After getting off the train and changing to the car, when we arrived in the town, we got the ghost head knife at the express point, rented a three-jumper and went straight to Centipede Ridge.
The driver actually spoke Mandarin, and we were a little surprised to learn that we were going to Centipede Ridge, and he talked a lot.
"Let me tell you, you still don't come to this ghost place in Centipede Ridge very often. A few years ago, I lost a lot of mothers-in-law with a straight stomach, and it is said that there are evil ghosts in this mountain and need to eat. Now there are not many people in Centipede Ridge, as long as they have a little ability, they will move out, and they are afraid to live in that place, let alone us. If you hadn't given me a lot of money, I really wouldn't want to pull you...... What are you doing here? It's so dangerous that you should try not to come, in case you lose your life, your soul can't go back......"
I handed him a cigarette and asked, "Is there a family surnamed Zhou on Centipede Ridge?" β
The driver nodded: "Yes, but the family is so miserable, their daughter finally got married, but a few years ago when she was holding her stomach, she lost it, some people said that she eloped with someone with her child, and the public came to the door, smashed it inside and out, and seemed to have recovered the bride price." The old couple of the Zhou family didn't know what to do, so they were nervous, and often said that their daughter died tragically...... It made the whole village uneasy......"
Mr. Qi asked, "Is there anything else weird going on in the village?" β
The driver was a little scared and said, "Yes, there are too many!" The feng shui fairy in the town said that there were not many ghosts in their village, and they didn't know if it was true or not, so we didn't dare to go anyway. I'll tell you, don't go to that kind of place, if you want to travel, I can find you a farmhouse, see the scenery during the day, and play with women at night, as happy as you want......"
I can't talk anymore, after all, Zhou Xiaoqin is on me now, and I'm a little embarrassed to talk about this topic.
After more than two hours of walking along the winding mountain road, we reached the foot of a mountain. The driver pointed to the mountain and said to us: "Over this mountain is Centipede Ridge, but you better hurry, if you don't go to the village before dark, you may never be able to enter, there are many demons and monsters in this mountain......"
We didn't take it seriously at all, after all, there was a powerful ghost head knife here, and any ghost spirit had to hide if they saw it. But when we entered the mountain, we realized that we were too naΓ―ve!
This centipede ridge is dangerous every step of the way, and we almost lost our lives before we even reached the village, and more than once!
