Chapter 79 Master Sang's Haunted House
After receiving the heavy notes, I couldn't help but have mixed feelings.
As expected of an old bachelor who has been single for decades, his hand speed has reached perfection.
It’s such a thick pile, so you can really write on it!
The homework I have written for more than ten years in school is probably not this thick.
Mr. Sang looked gloomy, took out a bunch of rusty keys from his pocket, and threw them into my hand.
"Master Sang, what do you mean?" I looked confused.
"Eating people is short-tongued and soft-handed. After arriving in the provincial capital, you can't just point at someone's big head and keep supporting you!"
On Linjiang Road in the old city, there is an incense and candle shop that I left behind thirty years ago.
It has been looked after by an old man these years. If you are willing, you can reopen the shop."
Unexpectedly, Mr. Sang opened a shop in the provincial capital thirty years ago.
It's just that so many years have passed and after all the changes, it's hard to say whether the shop is still there or not.
After all, it was Mr. Sang’s kindness, so I naturally wouldn’t refuse.
At this time, there was a roar of engines outside the yard, and it was Liu Jin who came to pick me up.
"Master Sang..."
I wanted to say something to Mr. Sang, but I felt a lump in my throat.
"No need to say those disgusting words, let's go!"
Mr. Sang waved his hand towards me and turned his back.
I just felt that my eyes were a little hot, so I knelt down with a plop and kowtowed to Mr. Sang three times.
Then he picked up the iron box and walked out the door.
It wasn't until the car left Laolingou that Mr. Sang walked out with a lonely look on his face.
"Thirteen, don't blame me, I'm doing this for your own good."
After staying one night in Baishi Town, we hit the road to the provincial capital the next day.
Qinchuan Province has a vast territory, and the provincial capital Yunzhou is located in the plain area north of Daqin Mountain.
The 800-mile-long Qinshan Mountain is like a natural chasm, dividing the entire Qinchuan Province into two.
After traveling on the winding mountain road for a whole day, we finally arrived at Yunzhou, the provincial capital, until the sun set.
Although Yunzhou is not as fast as Shanghai City, a coastal city with rapid economic development, as the provincial capital of Qinchuan Province, it is completely different from Baishi Town.
According to the address provided by Mr. Sang, I directly asked Liu Jin to take me to Linjiang Road in the old city.
"Brother Thirteen, what kind of incense and candle shop do you want to open according to my instructions?
It's better for us two brothers to join forces and we will definitely be able to create a world in Yunzhou."
Linjiang Street is a pedestrian street backed by the old city and facing the Lanchuan River.
Cars couldn't drive in at all, so we had to walk in with large and small bags.
Liu Jin was holding a chicken coop in his hand and carrying large and small bags on his back. He was panting as he walked.
The streets were very deserted, and as soon as it got dark, no one could be seen.
"This place is so deserted, you can't risk your life by opening a shop!" Liu Jin couldn't help but curled his lips.
"When you see a incense and candle shop making trouble, you think it's a karaoke shop!"
At this time, there happened to be a middle-aged man pushing an old man in a wheelchair for a walk along the river.
"Brother, do you know if there is an incense and candle shop near here?"
The man frowned and waved his hands repeatedly.
"Incense and candle shop! I have lived here for almost thirty years and I have never heard of any incense and candle shop here!"
Liu Jin frowned and looked towards me.
"Master Sang hasn't come back for so many years. Could it be that the shop has been demolished?"
Just when I was at a loss, the old man in the wheelchair pushed up his glasses.
"Are you looking for an old shop that has been idle for many years?"
I felt happy and hurriedly squatted down beside the old man.
"Old sir, do you know this place?"
The old man nodded slightly.
"Someone did open an incense and candle shop here before, but it has been idle for decades.
It is true that many old houses have been demolished during the renovation of old cities in recent years, but the old shops are still there.
If you go straight along the road, you will see a big stone archway. Turn left and you will see the old shop twenty meters away."
"Thank you, old sir."
When I heard that the old shop was still there, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and dragged Liu Jin to look for it in the direction pointed by the old man.
After we left, the middle-aged man smacked his lips.
"The old shop next to the big archway. Isn't that a haunted house?"
The middle-aged man's expression suddenly changed.
"What are these two doing in that haunted house at night?"
"What a haunted house, you guys are just spreading rumors about it.
The man who opened the shop was a living god back then. Your mother and I were already middle-aged and childless.
Thanks to the medicine prescribed for the living gods, I was able to have you later.
If it weren't for that living god, you wouldn't know where to turn.
I bet this young man is the descendant of that living god!"
"Isn't it as amazing as you said?"
The man curled his lips, a little doubtful.
The old man pondered for two seconds, then seemed to suddenly think of something, and hit the man on the arm.
"Hurry up and push me to your Uncle Song's house. Maybe his grandson will be saved this time."
Following the old gentleman's instructions, Liu Jin and I walked forward for a while, and sure enough we saw a tall stone archway.
Looking along the big archway, not far away stands an old shop that has experienced many vicissitudes of life.
This shop is a two-story attic. The lower floor is a shop and the upper floor should be residential.
The doors and windows of the shop were covered with thick barriers, making it difficult to see what was going on inside.
There is a rusty iron chain and an old-fashioned copper lock wrapped around the door.
"This is it."
Liu Jin glanced at the shop in front of him and couldn't help but shake his head.
"Can anyone still live in this land?"
"Master Sang said that there has been an old man helping to look after the shop these years. I think it shouldn't be a big problem."
Liu Jin raised his eyebrows and suddenly smacked his lips.
"That's not right! Didn't Mr. Sang say that he has five shortcomings and three shortcomings and cannot keep money? How come he still has a shop here?"
Liu Jin reminded me like this, and I just came back to my senses.
It seems that’s really what happened!
I frowned and looked at the shop in front of me again.
hiss!
This was incredible, and I finally understood why Mr. Sang could take this shop as his own.
Sansha place, Fengyin house.
The location occupied by this shop is a dangerous place and is not suitable for building a balcony.
In other words, this shop is an out-and-out haunted house!
Since it is not for people to live in, it naturally does not fall into the five disadvantages and three shortcomings.
"This is actually a haunted house."
Liu Jin couldn't help but shiver.
"Brother Thirteen, we are not short of money now, why do we have to fight for a house with ghosts?
Otherwise, you'd better go back and live with me."
I smiled and waved my hand, took out the key and walked towards the door.
"It doesn't matter! Mr. Sang said that my destiny is incomplete, I don't respect heaven and earth, let alone ghosts and gods.
Whether it's a yin house or a yang house, it's all the same to me."
As I said that, I put the key into the copper lock, maybe it was due to age and corrosion.
After poking for a long time, the copper lock was opened.
Zhiyo!
Chapter completed!
