Chapter 35: Digging the Grave
(For all the beautiful compatriots who follow this book)
The little carpenter stayed with the white fox in the cage for an afternoon. At some point, he looked dazed and felt that the white fox in the cage was the sister-in-law Ginkgo who was once smiling happily beside him.
However, soon, reason brought him back to his senses, feeling that this was very likely a test by Master Jin Liu.
During this day, his mood was lingering at the poles of "yes" and "no". In the end, he almost felt a little schizophrenia and was about to collapse.
When Feng Fangwei came over and invited him to have dinner together, he saw the little carpenter sitting on the ground, he was stunned for a moment and asked, "Mr. Gan, are you okay?"
The little carpenter climbed up from the ground, stretched his waist, and said, "I can't see any matching with the evil spirits I asked for - Lao Feng, I tell you that doing rituals is not a joke. You are from Luban sect, and you should know that we worship, but Luban's ancestors, if something is wrong, perfunctory and annoyed the immortal master, not only will they not solve your problem, but they will also give you a lecture. At that time, things will be really troublesome..."
Feng Fangwei was full of confidence and said, "This matter is true. Let me tell you, don't dislike it. This little beast was asked by the great Siam witch Bale, who said it was taken back to refine the immortal medicine. If the Sixth Master hadn't been for the peace of the mansion, how could he change his mind temporarily?"
Seeing that he said so surely, he had no temper and said, "Hey, since you said that, let's give it a try."
He followed Feng Fangwei out for dinner. After using it, he met Wang Tao when he came out.
The General Manager Wang stopped the little carpenter and talked to him about the progress of collecting the materials. There were several things. He went to several places outside Chuncheng to find them. He probably would be able to arrive tomorrow afternoon at the latest.
He asked the little carpenter to wait patiently, don't worry, and he will prepare a ritual tomorrow, so he must not make any mistakes.
After saying this, he smiled and said to the little carpenter, "The boss has given him instructions and said that he must entertain you well. So, if you have any needs, just say it. Don't be polite - by the way, Mr. Gan needs a woman to warm the bed at night? If you need it, I will go to Deshenglou to invite two young and beautiful sisters to you to relieve your boredom? If you don't like it, I'll find a good girl for you... In short, if you have anything you need, just say it, don't be polite..."
When the little carpenter heard this, he spoke, "Hey, don't say it, I really have something to discuss with you."
Wang Tao showed a smirk that men knew and said, "Say, say..."
But the little carpenter said seriously: "Some things I have left in my rented place. They are about how to do tomorrow, so I have to go back and get them back, so I have to take them off and I have to go back."
After hearing this, Wang Tao smiled and said, "What do I think is the matter? It's simple. Give me the key, make a list, and I'll send someone to get it. Why bother you to travel in person?"
The little carpenter shook his head and said, "My things are quite messy. I am afraid that if others go, I will go back and forth and can't figure it out. In addition, I have been out for a few days and I don't know if there is a order to come to my door. I have to go back and forth..."
Wang Tao said: "That's right, but the practice will be opened tomorrow night. If something goes wrong..."
The little carpenter raised his eyebrows and said, "You mean, are you afraid that I will run away?"
Wang Tao shook his head and said, "How is it possible? I haven't paid you yet. What am I afraid of? The main reason is that I am worried about something going on here - you may not know that the undercurrent of the spring city is now in chaos...
The little carpenter seemed very determined and said, "It's okay, I have the ability to protect myself. That's it. I'll go back today and come by myself tomorrow morning. How about it?"
Seeing that he could not resist him, Wang Tao gave in and said, "In this way, I will send a carriage to you and arrange for someone to live next to you. If you have something to do, just go and find him directly. Is that okay?"
Seeing that he was so worried about him, the little carpenter felt much more relaxed. He nodded and said, "Okay."
Wang Tao led him out, arranged a carriage, and asked a young man to follow him to take good care of the little carpenter. If something happened, he only asked.
The young man nodded respectfully and acted as if he was facing a great enemy.
After the little carpenter got on the carriage, he saw the young man's body tense, and couldn't help but smile and said, "What's the name?"
The young man said, "Huang Aba."
The little carpenter said: "You don't have to be so nervous. I'm just going back to get some things and dealing with some orders that have been delayed in the past few days. I'm just a craftsman on Huguo Street and have no enemies..."
The young man said seriously: "Mr. Wang gave the order, and he dared not take it lightly."
The little carpenter remembered Wang Tao's smile and greasy face, and couldn't help but say, "Do you need to be so afraid of him?"
Huang Aba lowered his head and dared not speak.
Seeing his condition, the little carpenter did not tease him anymore, but lifted up the curtain and looked outside.
There are indeed few pedestrians on this street, and I don’t know what happened outside during the few days he stayed in the Jin Mansion. In addition to this Huang Aba, I don’t know if the tail is still following him.
The little carpenter actually expected that Wang Tao would definitely send someone to stare at him.
But he still wanted to come out because he was Gu Baiguo or not. He had been struggling with this for a whole afternoon and was almost going crazy.
In such an environment, no one can tell the story of the little carpenter, so after thinking about it, he still has to ask Jiang Laoer to verify it.
Of course, he is not sure whether Jiang Lao Er will show up.
After thinking about it all the way, he finally returned to the vicinity of his residence. Because their alley was too narrow and the carriage could not come in, he persuaded Huang Aba and the coachman to stop at the entrance. After Huang Aba said a few words, he told the little carpenter the hotel he planned to stay, and then stopped talking.
The little carpenter entered the alley and then, as agreed with Jiang Laoer, marked the corner of the designated area.
In addition to asking him to meet, the little carpenter also drew another sign, which was that it was possible that someone would be followed, so he must be careful.
After doing this quickly, he returned to the yard.
The mansion was very humane. When the people in the courtyard saw him coming back, they came up and asked him where he had been there in the past few days. Some people told him that people had been looking for him these days, some had been dispatched, some had come to discuss cooperation, and some had also come to Zhang's shopkeeper Xiong.
Anyway, it's all kinds of things, messy.
After listening patiently, the little carpenter played with the children in the yard for a while before returning to the house.
After he went back to the house, he roughly sorted out, got a cloth bag, and then took out a few things that he needed to use tomorrow from Lu Ban's secret seal, put them in it and made a move. Then he lit the light and waited patiently for Jiang Laoer to bring him to the door.
After almost two quarters of an hour, his door was knocked, but it was not Jiang Laoer who came, but another uninvited guest.
Manager Xiong.
His family lives on the first floor next to the yard, and probably came here after hearing the news.
The little carpenter was a little surprised when he saw Manager Xiong coming to the door, but he still invited the person to the room, sat down in front of the table, and poured water. The pot was empty, which made him quite embarrassed.
He said a little embarrassedly: "I have been at Mr. Jin Liu's mansion these two days, so I'm not at home, so the water is gone - wait a moment, I'll borrow some in the yard..."
Manager Xiong hurriedly stopped him and said, "Stop busy, I'll come over and tell you two things and leave."
The little carpenter sat down and asked, "What's the matter?"
Manager Xiong said, "I'll just say a short story - the first thing is to come and apologize to you. The Zhang family's messy affairs have been tossed for a long time, but it ends up causing you trouble. It's still mine, so I'll come and apologize to you. Another thing is that I'm not working at the Zhang family. I'll have to go back to my hometown Honghe in the past few days..."
The little carpenter was stunned and said, "Why, are you going back to your hometown? Why don't you work in the Zhang family? Are you not Mr. Zhang's most capable confidant? You have worked in his family for more than 20 years."
Manager Xiong sighed: "Oh..."
The little carpenter looked at him seriously and said, "Old Xiong, what happened here? Tell me."
Manager Xiong said, "It's my fault. I'm fine. I've gotten into trouble with the second young master for nothing, but it turned out like this..."
The little carpenter said indignantly: "He Zhang Minghai crosses the river and destroys the bridge? This is too much."
Manager Xiong said, "It's not his fault. Since the old boss's grave was dug for someone, the young master has been wrong these two days. He got angry and almost smashed the store. He was very upset. He was fine, and he was in this situation. There was no way to do business at all. I left, so I don't have to worry about that much..."
The little carpenter suddenly grasped the key point and said, "What, Mr. Zhang's grave has been dug for someone?"
Manager Xiong nodded and sighed, "I don't know which group of poor and crazy guys are, but they actually got out the old boss who had just buried a few days ago. They also opened a coffin, causing him to traumatize his corpse in the wilderness..."
He chatted with the little carpenter for a few more words before saying goodbye and leaving.
The little carpenter sent someone back, sat in the room and thought for a while, and his mind suddenly became clear.
Zhang Minghai really did everything he did, but in the end he still didn't keep the Qilin fetus - it was thanks that guy could figure it out and actually hid the stone in his father's grave.
This guy is really not a good thing...
The more the little carpenter thought about it, the closer it was to the truth of the matter. At this time, there was a movement from the window. When the little carpenter turned around, he saw that the unfeeling killer had appeared in the room.
