Chapter 39: The Resting Church

Purple Kite said, "This kind of whiplash is not fatal, and it will be fine after half a month." The guy gritted his teeth, "Yang Mei! Don't let them go! Summoning the Soul Gathering Coffin and taking them in! The woman named Yang Mei smiled bitterly and shook her head, "Xiao Zheng, we are not their opponents!" Don't be bored anymore! ”

Although the guy surnamed Zheng was unwilling, he was also helpless. "I know, your Taoism is not deep, but your helpers are better!" The woman said.

I looked at her, "Don't you think it's unreasonable for you to do this kind of thing?" The woman sneered, "Hurt the heavens and reason? All we do is to get rich! If a buyer asks for the goods, we will find them for him! The trade is fair, and there is no bullying for children! ”

Liu Qiang opened the door, "Let's go!" Don't ramble with them! "We all walked out. Occasionally, someone hurried through the streets. We searched all the way, and at the entrance of an inconspicuous alley, we saw the house number of No. 64 Taiping Street.

Turning into the alley, there is a dilapidated courtyard in front of it. There is an old locust tree in the yard, the trunk is very thick, and two people can't hug each other. The bark is rough and looks quite old. Because it's summer, the old branches are luxuriant.

A few meters away from the tree, there is a small two-story building. Five rooms up and down, red bricks, tortoise tiles, cornices and arches, the pattern is quite magnificent. The courtyard door was closed, and the lock was a little rusty. It seemed that no one had been here for a long time, and I suddenly thought of one word, Deserted Village Wild Store.

"There doesn't seem to be anyone here, but this house is kind of like a museum!" Liu Qiang said. I think he has a point. Chen Shan went over and knocked on the door. I just knocked three times, and from the alley next to me, an old woman came over. "Don't knock, Lao Li, the doorkeeper, has gone home." The old woman said.

"Auntie, is this the Shangjia County Museum?" I asked. "It was a long time ago, and it wasn't anymore." The old woman muttered and walked away. I'm really discouraged, half of this can make people uncomfortable to death!

Just as I was getting anxious, a man came behind us. He went straight to the door, took out the key, and unlocked it. I was overjoyed, and went over and grabbed the man, "Hello, we are from Zhongzhou." Did you order a batch of goods in Manpacha? ”

The man looked at me strangely, "Are you mistaken?" I don't know what Wanbao Zhai is, and I haven't ordered anything! I was stunned for a moment, and asked unwillingly: "Are you here for the Shangjia County Museum?" The delivery address is the place! ”

The man thought for a moment, "I remember, this was originally a museum. But it would have been destroyed in a fire long ago! It is said that several people were burned to death! I'm a staff member of the housing management office here, so I'm here to take a look at the house! ”

I called Hong Liang, "Lao Hong, are you playing with me?" The place is found, there is no museum! No one received the goods either! Hong Liang said, "No, right?" This is the director of the museum, Zhao, who personally ordered the goods, and also paid the deposit in advance. ”

I simply doubt that this Hong Liang is a real businessman! The contact information for delivery is not complete, and I dare to follow. I said, "Why don't I bring it back and figure it out for yourself?" ”

Hong Liang said: "That's not good! Today is the deadline, and I have to pay a huge fine if I overdue! If you look for it, the owner of the cargo may be nearby. After sending the goods back, I will invite you to dinner at the Regal Hotel! ”

I hung up the phone and talked to everyone. Chen Shan brought it up, Purple Kite stayed, and the others went separately to inquire. Chen Shan and I walked to the alley together, and Shen Xiaolong and Liu Qiang went to inquire on the street.

The alley next to the building is very narrow. Walking out of the alley, it is a dense forest. In the overgrown woods, there is a path paved with green bricks. The weather in June was cold-cold. Deep in the woods, there seems to be a faint structure. When I got closer, I saw the mausoleums.

The tombstones are covered with weeds, and only a few large and small mounds can be seen. In the distance, there is a small clearing. There is also a courtyard in the clearing. There are three large tiled houses in the courtyard, and the path in front of the courtyard is clean.

When we got to the door, we saw the courtyard gate open. An old man with white hair was sitting at a stone table drinking tea. I walked over and said hello, "Hello old man, I'm here from Zhongzhou to deliver the goods!" Do you know where the Shangjia Museum is? ”

The old man sat up straight and looked at me. "It used to be a museum, but it burned down a long time ago. The original site was just below that dormition church. I gasped, "That house is a dormition?" The old man smiled and nodded.

I feel the urge to beat Hong Liang up! What to send to the Sabbath? Urn? I asked the old man, "Sir, do you know where the museum has been rebuilt?" ”

The old man shook his head, "I haven't heard of it!" The fire killed a lot of people. Among them, there are six members of the museum curator's family, two adults, and four children! Miserable! The youngest boy was only eight years old, and the eldest girl was just over twenty! ”

I heard his voice tremble a little, as if he was suppressing great sadness. I couldn't see anything, so I said goodbye to Chen Shan and left. The old man suddenly called out to us, "You bring the goods to this yard, someone will come to receive them!" I can pay the money upfront! ”

I couldn't ask for it, so I quickly thanked the old man, and called Liu Qiang and Shen Xiaolong to inform them to move the goods in. Chen Shan and I also rushed over to help, and we moved back and forth for half an hour before we finished unloading the goods. The old man used his mobile phone to make the final payment to Hong Liang and gave me an extra amount of freight.

The old man's surname is Qi, and he is a retired leader in the county. He said it was a good place to write a memoir. I can't help but be dumbfounded, the habits of literati are really strange! It's almost the same to write ghost stories in a grave, and I can't write a memoir like a literary thing.

We said goodbye to Lao Qi and left the small courtyard and walked back. As soon as I walked out of the alley, when I looked back, I couldn't see the path except for the messy trees. I know, I've met the master again. In front of the building, the door was still closed.

Upstairs, there seemed to be people walking around. I asked the purple kite, "Someone is in now?" Purple Kite shook her head, "No, after that person left just now, no one went in!" We returned to the car together, and Liu Qiang asked, "Which of you saw Shen Xiaolong?" ”

Only then did I notice that Shen Xiaolong was not in the car. "Where did this guy run away again?" Liu Qiang called his mobile phone, but it was still turned off. "This guy is always mysterious, I don't know what he's doing?" I say. Chen Shan glanced at the small building, "Will he go there again?" ”

Liu Qiang shouted his name at the gate, and a figure shook inside, but no one answered. "He's supposed to be in there, I'll go over the wall and go in to find him!" Liu Qiang said. I was just trying to stop it, two meters high wall, and he jumped over. But as soon as the person entered, he disappeared.

I felt that something was wrong, so I quickly pulled Chen Shan and Zi Kite back a little. The upstairs windows seem to be blocked by curtains, so you can't see the inside. Purple Kite took out a piece of talisman paper and threw it out. The rune paper fluttered and flew over the wall.

The spell on the rune paper flashed with a golden light. In the corner of the wall, a black mist emerged. In the black mist, there seemed to be a figure shaking. The rune paper flew into the black mist, and a lightning-like light tore through the black mist. Liu Qiang lay on the wall, panting heavily. I took him off, and he was pale, but fortunately unhurt.

"As soon as I jumped in, it was like jumping into a whirlpool! I almost ran out of breath! "Liu Qiang has palpitations." The resentment and anger inside are too heavy! If you hadn't had the Dao Technique, you would have died a long time ago! Purple Kite said. I remembered what Lao Qi said, more than a dozen people died unjustly here. Now this situation must have something to do with that case!

We are worrying about how to find Shen Xiaolong. Not far away, an old man carrying a wine bottle staggered over. "Drunk life and dream death, dream death and drunk life, Nan Ke has a dream, a dream of eternal life!" The old man muttered and bumped directly into me.

"Uncle, how much have you drunk?" I held him up. "You are an uncle, you are an uncle! I'll go mine, you go yours! Do you care if I drink too much or too little? The old man cursed. I think this person is unreasonable.

Chen Shan walked over to help her with a smile, "Senior, you are the gatekeeper of this place, right?" One of our companions is locked up inside! Please let him out! The old man snorted, "Listen to what you girl!" I tell you, the fool who went in must not have a good heart! I guess he just wants to steal! ”

I asked him, "Old, old-timer, isn't this just a house with urns?" What is there to steal? The old man glared at me, "Don't talk nonsense if you don't know!" It's not a place for everyone! Unless you're dead! I laughed.

The old man took out the key and opened the lock tremblingly. He made a silencing gesture at us. Then, taking a sip of wine, he sprayed a puff of wine mist into it. I saw that the wine mist floated in, and wherever the wine mist went, the black mist dissipated without a trace.

The doors and windows in the building were all open, and we were surprised to see that Shen Xiaolong fell on the beam, holding a porcelain jar in his hand. The old man walked in and tapped him on the head with a wine bottle, "Give me the jar, if you don't want to die!" ”

Shen Xiaolong handed the jar to the old man. The strip of cloth on the foot was loosened. Shen Xiaolong fell, and as soon as the old man's feet were raised, Shen Xiaolong fell sideways to the ground. "Get out of here! Stop thinking nonsense, learn something good, don't fool around! ”

Shen Xiaolong's face was flushed and he ran out of the small courtyard. The old man put the porcelain jar back into the cabinet and kowtowed respectfully. He closed the doors and windows again, exited the courtyard, and locked the courtyard door. "If this companion of yours is still obsessed, he will not die well!" The old man told me.

I glanced at Shen Xiaolong, and he turned around and got into the car. Looking at his unconvinced look, I could only sigh. The old man gave me a mahogany card, "You hold this, if you encounter any danger, he can help you!" "I am very grateful.

The old man smiled, "You risked your life to deliver the goods, this is just a slight gesture!" I seem to feel something," old-timer! Are you a descendant of the Zhao family? The old man took a sip of wine, "Life is also death, and death is life." Let's go back! ”
