Chapter 3 The Impermanence of Life
Lin Fatzi was gearing up and was about to do a big job.
But Zhang Baiguan had to pour a basin of cold water on Lin Fatzi, some things can't be done with a lot of blood, and that place in Xinjiang is not something you can go to if you want to. And that coffin doesn't sound like much to mess with now.
If something goes wrong, everyone has to pay the price.
These several coffins left a deep impression on Zhang Baiguan, and some ancient tombs cannot be measured by conventional thinking at all.
Zhang Baiguan does understand that there are some unnecessary risks, but there is no need to take them.
Now, the place he wants to go more is the place where the rotten map was drawn, but he can't understand this map, damn, I feel depressed when I think about it, Li Jiancheng is the eighth lamb, and he can't even see the ghost.
Seeing that Zhang Baiguan was a little hesitant, Lin Fatzi was about to speak, but was preempted by Long Xu: "Zhang Baiguan, I can tell you, I heard that the coffin is somewhat related to the bamboo slip you gave me." ”
Zhang Baiguan didn't react for a while.
After carefully recalling it, his head suddenly seemed to explode, but Zhang Baiguan said three words with a calm face: "I can't say it." ”
At first, Long Xu didn't understand what these three words meant, but when Lin Fatzi asked what bamboo slips, Long Xu woke up like a dream.
Zhang Baiguan's face was serious, and the chopsticks in his hand were put down again. He was thinking about whether to go or not, the shock brought to him by the scroll of bamboo slips was too great, and he didn't fully understand the secrets above.
Maybe there are some things that you have to explore yourself to get the result after all.
"Official, what do you think? Lin Fatzi didn't even have the mood to eat at this time, he was thinking about what would be hidden in that coffin! If there was some great treasure hidden, then damn it, after doing it this time, it would be over.
Zhang Baiguan was awakened by Lin Fatzi's shout, and said, "What is Lin Fatzi shouting?"
"Do you want to go? ”
"Go. Zhang Baiguan said that this is categorical.
"Haha" Lin Fat Man laughed out loud, and finally got a positive answer. Satisfied.
Zhou Baigou sat next to Lin Fatzi and laughed.
"What are you smirking at Brother White Dog! Go get equipment!" Fat Lin urged Zhou Baigou.
Zhou Baigou responded, and went out of Zhang Baiguan's shop in a hurry.
During this time, Shoko remained silent and did not speak.
And Long Xu was naturally very happy to see Zhang Baiguan agree, because she knew that Zhang Baiguan might know what the content on the bamboo slip meant, but he refused to tell himself that since Zhang Baiguan's blood had an effect on the murals on the wall last time, Long Xu knew that Zhang Baiguan was definitely not an ordinary person.
And Long Xu himself is not an ordinary person.
After breakfast, Zhang Baiguan opened the door to do business as usual, and he did this business to watch the bustle in front of the door and the desertion inside the door.
However, outsiders look at the bustle, insiders look at the doorway, whether you look at it, Zhang Baiguan's shop is cold, and he actually makes more than 100 times more money than those who are bustling in the court!
Zhang Baiguan lay on the counter, thinking.
Shoko sat on a chair and watched the crowd come and go outside the door.
Lin Fatzi, this kid, was afraid that Zhou Baigou would not do a good job, so he followed him to supervise him.
The originally lively shop is now back to its former desertion. Suddenly, Long Xu spoke: "Zhang Baiguan, I'll go out for a walk." ”
"Okay, stay safe. After saying the word pay attention to safety, Zhang Baiguan felt that it was redundant, with Long Xu's skills, even he couldn't get him, that sentence was completely redundant.
But Long Xu didn't think so.
Long Xu responded and went out happily.
Xiangzi has been sitting on the chair, his expression is also a little different from the past, as if he is thinking about something, his eyes have been looking ahead, he is a little sluggish, time has passed, suddenly, Xiangzi's eyes seem to flash a bright light, and he suddenly stood up from the chair.
However, he seemed to be restraining his emotions, he walked up to Zhang Baiguan and shouted, "Brother Zhang." ”
Zhang Baiguan raised his eyelids and looked at Xiangzi.
Xiangzi's facial expression was a little hesitant, but in the end, he seemed to hold his breath and finished: "Brother Zhang, I may know where Brother Li is now?"
After Zhang Baiguan heard this, he was also shocked.
"You say!"
Zhang Baiguan asked.
Xiangzi sighed, and Zhang Baiguan also knew his difficulties. There are some contradictions between himself and Li Jiancheng, and it is not easy for him to be caught in the middle.
Zhang Baiguan didn't want to embarrass Xiangzi, so he said: "Xiangzi, if you feel embarrassed, don't say it." ”
Xiangzi is a moral person, Zhang Baiguan's guess is correct, he is a little embarrassed! It's just that this time he also feels that what Brother Li has done is a bit excessive, and there is some misunderstanding, and he may have to confront him face to face before he can explain it clearly.
"Brother Zhang, Brother Li is a very filial person, in five days, it will be Brother Li's mother's death day, no matter what he was doing before, as long as that day comes, he will rush home to see his late mother's. ”
After Zhang Baiguan heard Xiangzi say this, he knew that Xiangzi might let go of the mustard in his heart.
Zhang Baiguan didn't twist, and asked directly: "Where is Li Jiancheng from?"
Xiangzi replied: "He is from Fujian, but his hometown later moved to Hunan, and his mother was buried in Hunan. ”
"You know where his hometown is, right?"
"Well, I know. Shoko replied quickly.
"Hengyang. ”
Zhang Baiguan took a deep breath, he felt that it might be more important to find Li Jiancheng first, this Wang Ba Lamb may know more things, how could he believe him in the first place, now thinking about it, Zhang Baiguan felt a little annoyed.
"Then we will go to Hengyang, Hunan tomorrow, and wait for him there. ”
"Hmm," Shoko replied simply.
Time passed in a flash, and in the afternoon, a guest came to the store, Zhang Baiguan entertained him, sold a Ming vessel, and made about four or five thousand yuan.
Zhang Baiguan thought about giving Xiangzi some compensation, otherwise he would not be able to treat others badly by taking such a big risk and following him desperately, so he gave all the money from the sale of the Ming weapon to Xiangzi, and Xiangzi refused at first.
But Zhang Baiguan said that he kept it, and the general daughter-in-law in the future was not.
Shoko took it.
In the afternoon, Lin Fatzi came back from the white dog happily, and shouted as soon as he entered the door: "Official, everything is ready now, only the east wind is owed!"
"Official, when are you leaving?"
"Probably not right now. ”
Lin Fatzi's fiery heart was half cold in an instant.
"Why not?" asked Fat Lin.
"I know the whereabouts of that kid Li Jiancheng. Zhang Baiguan said calmly.
"Who? Official, are you saying that Li Jiancheng, that Wang Balamb appeared?" Lin Fatzi's tone was a little surprised.
"Yes. ”
"Grandma's, dog's day, finally appeared, big official, you tell me where he is, see if I don't beat him into a pig's head, damn, dare to pit the fat man." ”
"He's in Hengyang, Hunan, you can go now!"
Lin Fatzi's sleeves that had been rolled up were put down again.
"Damn, Lao Tzu is from Hunan, this dog day will not be the same township as Lao Tzu!"
"Fatty, you're really right this time. ”
"I'm a fellow villager with this kid, it's really embarrassing to Lao Tzu, when will the Hunan people produce such a person!" Lin Fatzi said with righteous indignation.
But Zhang Baiguan found that Xiangzi's face was a little unsightly, so he asked Lin Fatzi to stop cursing Li Jiancheng.
Now that he knows Li Jiancheng's whereabouts, he has to go to Hunan.
The trip to Xinjiang may have to be put on hold for the time being.
Lin Fatzi didn't argue, anyway, it wasn't bad for a few days, he put the equipment for going to Xinjiang at Zhou Baigou's house first, and then went straight to Xinjiang when he came back.
After the three of them discussed, they decided on a plan, Long Xu came back almost at night, Xi'an City was the ancient capital in ancient times, and there were too many places of interest, so when I looked at it, I didn't realize that the night was falling.
came back and listened to the plan of Zhang Baiguan and the others, Long Xu did not say anything to question, because anyway, the matter of the coffin in Xinjiang was not in a hurry.
So after the four of them discussed, the plan was basically decided.
Before leaving, Xiangzi went to see the seventh master again, after the seventh master was injured last time, his expression is worse than before, as if he has not recovered, and he has been completely injured.
Xiaoqiang is still the same as before, and there is not much change.
Zhang Baiguan squatted next to the seventh master, and the seventh master's hand trembled.
"Baiguan, let me tell you, I feel that my physical condition is declining now, I just thought that if something happens to me in the future, Xiaoqiang will follow you, you have to take good care of him!"
Xiaoqiang immediately asked with concern.
The seventh master waved his hand towards Xiao Qiang, indicating that it was okay.
Zhang Baiguan said: "Seventh Master, you have to pay attention to take care of your body, I will be optimistic about Xiaoqiang." You can rest assured. ”
The seventh master snorted, his face was gloomy and a little terrifying, he had thousands of emotions hidden in his heart, but he couldn't spit on people.
Zhang Baiguan told the seventh master that he was going to Hunan to do some business this time, and then he might go to Xinjiang.
The seventh master didn't ask too much this time, the wrinkles on his face and the back of his hands had been deeply filled with too many years, and he felt that he was really tired.
"Okay, Baiguan, you go back to your business! If I die, I'll let Xiaoqiang go to you!"
Hearing the word death from the Seventh Master, I don't know why Zhang Baiguan suddenly felt uncomfortable in his heart, and some pain rose from his heart, but he didn't know what to say to comfort the Seventh Master, so he simply replaced it with silence.
Xiaoqiang also muffled his voice and didn't speak. In the past few years, he has taken care of the seventh master, and he knows the physical condition of the seventh master.
No matter how powerful or ordinary a person is, no one can escape the word death.
