Chapter 904: Strange Uncle
"Brother, you tell me the truth, why don't you want me to go to the old mansion of the Leng family?" Seeing the appearance of the boss, I immediately blurted out a question, is there any reason why this old mansion can't be let people go?
I saw that the boss looked tight, looked around and said to me in a low voice: "Handsome guy, it's not that I don't want to take you there, but that place is haunted, I'm afraid that you will get dirty." β
I smiled disappreδΈι¨ly, and then shook my head to show that I was not afraid, "Boss, you just tell the location, I can go by myself, I don't believe that there are any ghosts in this world!"
I was snickering in my heart, and I really admired my ability to tell nonsense with my eyes open.
The boss still refused, saying that he was afraid of hurting me because of this, and then he stopped talking to me, got up and planned to guard the stall, seeing this, I had to use my killer move, "One thousand, brother, I don't need you to take me there, please tell me the location of the old mansion, and I will give you a thousand yuan as a reward, how about it?"
When the boss heard this, he looked at me suspiciously, and asked, "Little brother, why do you want to know the location of the Leng family's old mansion so much?"
I was shocked when I heard this, and then I smiled and replied: "Oh, I didn't see that the family you said was so good, I just wanted to see where they lived before, and by the way, I went to mourn and follow the customs!"
I was afraid that he wouldn't believe it, so I added, "Besides, what can I do as a foreigner, I'm just curious about the Leng family's old house, brother, can you tell me?"
To my surprise, this boss didn't accept my conditions, but looked at me with a little appreciation and said: "Look at you as a very caring person, I'll tell you this position, and I won't take your money!"
Then he pointed to a mountain forest in the distance and said to me, "Do you see that hill? You keep walking in this direction, and then you will see a forest, and through the forest is the old house of the Leng family, but I advise you not to stay too long, otherwise something strange will happen." β
I nodded in understanding, and then I gratefully, "Thank you, brother!" and then I pressed a hundred dollars under the bowl when he wasn't looking, and then quietly left.
Knowing the location, I stopped wandering outside, thought about it and planned to go back first, wait for the others to come back, and then discuss what to do, when I returned to the B&B, I saw the old man sitting in the yard smoking a cigarette, and smiled at me when he saw me coming back.
"Boss, my wife is working on lunch, and I will be able to eat it in a while. β
I nodded in understanding, then stared at him for a while, and then casually asked, "Uncle, are you and Auntie locals here, and how long have you lived?"
When the uncle heard this, he looked at me with a smile and said, "Of course the two of us are locals, and we have been here for a few years, why do you ask that, boss?"
"Oh, nothing. Hearing his answer, my heart moved, I shook my head quietly, and then I also took a bench and began to bask in the sun in the yard.
Uncle didn't say much, just a person smoking a cigarette, looking ahead with deep eyes, I don't know what he was thinking, I also noticed the white cloth in the corner covered by a white cloth, thought about it and asked him, "Uncle, can I ask you a question?"
The uncle, who was pondering, was interrupted by me, so he turned around and nodded, "Of course, boss, you ask!"
I raised my hand and pointed to the corner of the coffin, and said curiously: "I heard my girlfriend say yesterday that there is a coffin under the white cloth, and I asked offensively, is this prepared by your second elder in advance, or is there any other use?"
After hearing my words, his expression was surprised, and then he returned to normal, explaining: "Oh, you're right, we have no children under our knees, and no one will send us to the elderly, so we have to prepare ourselves in advance." β
"Uncle, can you show me inside, I've never seen a coffin before?" I then looked curious, as if he had made such a request.
The uncle immediately showed a nervous expression, and said with some concealment: "The boss still doesn't want it, there is nothing to look at in this coffin, isn't it made of wood." β
Seeing how nervous he was, I concluded that there must be something wrong with the coffin, but I didn't follow up on it, so as not to make him suspect me, and just as they all came back one after another.
When the uncle saw this, he stopped chatting with me, got up and said to me, "Since you are all back, then I will go and help my boss make lunch together, so that it can be faster." β
I smiled and nodded, watched him leave the yard, then looked at the others and asked, "How was it, what did it take a few hours to find out?"
Everyone shook their heads, and Li Ying complained a little: "We didn't hear anything, and even some children didn't know why, not only spat at us, but also said that we are all bad women, you see my clothes are dirty." β
Li Meiyan also said strangely: "Yes, we are walking on the street, and others look at us as if they see the enemy, which makes me feel a little panicked, and I am afraid that they will rush up and attack us." β
Meng Sha on the side scolded even more angrily: "Sister Meiyan, why are you stopping me, you should have asked me to trick those people at that time, let them have a stomachache for a while, and then let them dare to look at us like that again, it's really infuriating?"
Meiya and Meiya also said in unison: "Yes, master, we walked on the street and wanted to talk to others, and everyone looked at the two of us with disgust, which was very uncomfortable. β
After hearing what a few people said, it was probably the same as I imagined.
As soon as Long Long saw my complacent appearance, he immediately understood, and hurriedly asked, "Qiming, do you know anything, explain it to us." β
When I heard her say that, I told them all the news I had gotten from the wonton stall owner.
"I see, it's really like this, none of us are wearing clothes that are too black or too white, but this is too exaggerated, we are tourists and not locals, there is no need to force it to such an extent, right?"
Li Meiyan immediately expressed her dissatisfaction and felt that she had been treated unfairly.
Hearing this, I took her hand and comforted: "You just bear with it, don't you know the truth of following the customs?"
She knew what I meant, sighed and stopped complaining, and I told them, "I'll take you somewhere when I'm done with lunch!"
