Chapter 10: Third Uncle Meng Lang
Wang Youcai seemed to say something, but I walked too fast and didn't hear clearly.
When I got back to the tattoo parlor, I went to the cabin where I slept. Sure enough, there was a letter and a thick book on the desk.
I immediately opened the envelope, only to find that my grandmother was probably in a hurry when she wrote it.
So what seems like a letter is actually just a few words.
To sum it up, there are three things:
First, let me read and figure out how to tattoo the ghost seal, and then burn the book with purple sand in the black box.
Second, after I was asked to burn the books, I went to Xihang City to find a person surnamed Wu.
Third, let me complete the nine hundred and ninety ghost seals.
I'm fine with the first and second ones, but the third, nine hundred and ninety tattoos, is a bit too much.
But my grandmother's letter made it clear that if I didn't get so many tattoos, I wouldn't want to see her again.
In desperation, I had no choice but to be obedient, and I still carefully studied this collector's ancestral ghost seal secret technique.
It took seven whole days, and I didn't even get out of the tattoo parlor after closing the door, and finally finished reading the secret book. Then I burned the books according to my grandmother's instructions, and took the money my grandmother prepared for me to Xihang City.
I went to Xihang City and followed the address given by my grandmother, and I quickly inquired about the person surnamed Wu.
But when I stood in front of his house, in front of his store to be exact, I felt a little bad.
Before, I wondered that this Xihang is a big place, and there are not thousands of people with the surname Wu, but also hundreds. Grandma didn't even tell me her name, so she wasn't afraid that I wouldn't find it?
Now I find that although there are many people with the surname Wu, there is definitely no one as special as him.
Because......
"Little girl, what are you doing standing in this white shop? The sun is about to set, so hurry home. This shop is evil. The kind aunt who had passed all the way persuaded.
I smiled dryly, thinking that I could not be evil.
Originally, it was not good for the white shop to open at such a crossroads where there were not many people. This store is even better, so it doesn't die and hangs a soul-attracting lamp at the door of the store.
What's the matter, is this because your own store is not enough to summon ghosts?
Although I was extremely reluctant, because of my grandmother's letter, I still walked forward and knocked on the door, "Is there anyone?" Is the shopkeeper Wu here? β
That's right, I inquired before I came, and the owner of this shop is surnamed Wu.
And this radius of ten kilometers is only his surname Wu.
The person who had wanted to respond didn't, but the door "creaked" open, as if silently saying "Please come in." β
If it were a normal store, it would be forgotten, but if it is left in a white shop, it is indeed a bit panicked.
How do I think about whether to go in or not.
Who would have thought that a voice came from inside the house: "Why is the Zang family so bold, afraid of being like this when they enter a store?" β
Soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated.
What's more, the other party's tone is really sarcastic.
So I immediately pushed the whole door open with a big hand, and without saying anything, the person strode in without hesitation.
Walking into the house, you will see all kinds of coffins, soul flags, yellow paper, oil lamps and a series of common things in white shops. Ordinary people may be a little frightened when they see this.
But at Lin Hai's house, I've even seen zombies and a hundred ghosts walking at night.
It's a bit pediatric to look at these again.
So I smiled contemptuously, and was about to ask the other party why he was hiding it.
I didn't think about it......
What imprinted into my eyes was not a terrifying or terrifying picture, but a smiling uncle with a thief's face.
This uncle is dressed in a decent way, a long blue and white coat, although it is a little quaint, but it is not out of place. It's just that his expression, as well as his current actions, is really a bit too Meng Lang.
"What are you doing!?" When he finally reached out to my face, I couldn't bear to knock his hand off.
At the same time, he subconsciously took a step back, and then looked at the center of his feet seriously.
The soles of his feet fell to the ground, and the three yang fires on his body were also burning, not like a dead man, let alone a ghost.
"Little girl, I'm your third uncle, look at what's wrong with your niece." Who would have thought that I was unhappy, and the middle-aged uncle was even more displeased.
He immediately took a step back and sat back on the Taishi chair, shaking the paper fan with one hand and tapping the chair handle with the other.
Third uncle?
Niece?
I've seen people who misidentify their relatives, but I really haven't seen anyone like him who confesses his relatives for the sake of being a hooligan.
"Your real surname is Wu?" I looked at him suspiciously: "Is it really the owner of a white shop?" β
"Nonsense!" The middle-aged uncle gave me a roll of his eyes angrily: "Your name is Zang Ling'er, your grandmother's name is Zang Bai, your father's name is Zang Qitian, and your mother's ...... Forget it, don't mention your trouble-making old lady. β
My grandmother never talked about my parents.
I didn't even leave a single photo, so when I heard the middle-aged uncle in front of me talk about it, I couldn't help but be very interested.
Then, before I could finish asking, I heard a sudden ringing of a bell outside the door.
Bell?
I was immediately alarmed: "You have something unclean at the door. β
I had already observed before entering the Shiraji store, and there was nothing in front of the store that could make a noise. Except for the brass bell underneath the soul-attracting lamp.
But this bell won't ring at all, to be precise, as long as you don't encounter evil spirits, normal people will not react when they enter the soul attraction lamp.
"What are you afraid of, this is business coming to the door." Who would have thought that the middle-aged uncle would not be afraid at all, and directly got up and prepared to go to greet the guests, and when he saw that I didn't move, he turned around and said: "You don't want to leave yet, don't you want to finish your 990 ghost seal tattoos earlier?" β
As soon as he said this, I was almost immediately sure that he was the one surnamed Wu mentioned in my grandmother's letter.
But......
"Are you really my third uncle? Why? I hurriedly caught up and asked.
His surname is Wu, my surname is Zang, no matter how seniority is arranged, he can't be my third uncle.
"Don't you have a long face and a brain? The Wu family and the Zang family are world friends, and I am the third in the family. Don't you call me the third uncle, but also the third aunt? After saying that, the middle-aged uncle didn't pay attention to me anymore.
Instead, he hurried towards the store, as if he was afraid of neglecting the customer.
But the guestβ
It's not human.
Thinking of this, my face turned pale, but I finally decided to follow, and at the same time shouted, "Then what is your name?" β
You can't just have a surname, you have a name.
"You just call the third uncle, whatever you do with my name." The middle-aged uncle's voice came from afar.
After half a ring, I finally caught up with Uncle Wu, and at the same time saw the customers coming from the store.
But just one look at it almost made me scream.
