The years of reselling the haunted house

I shook my head repeatedly after hearing this, and said, "Jiuye, I shouldn't discourage you. It's been more than ten years, is it useful for us to go to Anqi Town? Maybe he just found a place to meet you at random. See you, after so long, that place may no longer be his foothold."

Master Jiu said: "I know what you mean, but I feel that Anqi Town should at least be the closest town to Jingjiang Ancient Village."

"You don't even know where Jingjiang Ancient Village is, how can you be so sure?"

"Your third uncle and I have researched it. In a hidden place like Jingjiang Ancient Village, the geographical environment must have its special features. It is estimated that there will not be many people there except for Murong Sturgeon. That is to say, if Murong Sturgeon wants to If you want to stay in Jingjiang Ancient Village for a long time, you must come out regularly to purchase supplies, or search for some necessary items. I remember the last time I saw Murong Yu, he had a big bag beside him, although I didn’t see it. What is it, but if my guess is correct, it should be the supplies he must use in life."

I nodded, understood what Master Jiu meant, and said, "So you think Anqi Town is the place where he buys supplies. We are going to wait in Anqi Town. After Murong Yu goes to the town, we will follow him to Jingjiang Ancient Village ?”

Master Jiu nodded and said, "At present, this is the only way I can think of."

I shook my head: "This is indeed a way. If we are given a month, even ten days, we may still be able to wait for Murong Yu to come out. But we only have four days if we are fully loaded. If Murong Yu has enough supplies in the ancient village, If we haven't shown up in these four days, aren't we waiting in vain?"

The third uncle sighed and said: "Nephew, Master Jiu just said that this is our only way. If it is really like what you said, then we can only hope and sigh. But I believe that our luck has always been Not bad, if you go to Anqi Town, you will definitely gain something."

I didn't speak anymore, but I was very disapproving.If the success or failure of the action is pinned on luck, then this is a bit too unreliable.

Chapter 1710

Following Master Jiu's instructions, I drove on the road for more than two hours, and finally entered a town by the river.

The town doesn't look very big, it doesn't even have a decent road, there is only one dirt road that is not very wide and has some potholes on the road leading to the inside of the town.

Moreover, the stores on the left and right sides of that road didn't seem to be patronized by anyone, and the front door was deserted.

I noticed that most of these stores are related to aquatic products by the river.Some sell tools and materials needed for sailing, and some sell simple and roughly processed aquatic products.

Master Jiu introduced: "This Anqi Town is also an ancient town, but for some reason, it has not been developed much."

"Here is next to the Yangtze River. Except for aquatic products, there is no special industry. Even aquatic products have not been further processed. These rough processed products are fine, but they can't be promoted to larger places, so the development is not good. It's nothing unusual." Uncle San shook his head and analyzed.

Master Jiu smiled and said, "Dong Bin, I didn't expect you to talk in a different way after living in a big city for a few years. I don't understand what you're talking about, and I seldom come here."

While talking, Master Jiu instructed me to drive the car to the door of a roadside hotel.

"There are not many outsiders in the town, because the town is backed by the river, and almost no one passes by. So there are only two hotels in total, and the scale is not large. This is one of them. Let's stay here for a few days. I hope there will be news about Murong Yu." Master Jiu introduced.

Master Jiu is quite familiar with this town, so we parked the car in the backyard of the hotel, and went in to check in.

We took a room on the second floor, from which we could just see the street.

The main street of Anqi Town is the one outside, and it is also the main commercial street of the town. If Murong Yu came to buy, he would definitely come to this street.

In fact, I have no hope of seeing Murong sturgeon on this street.How lucky we are if we can see him when we first arrive.If it is this probability, then we simply find a place to buy lottery tickets, and we will win 500 million for sure.

I believe Master Jiu was also uncertain, the three of us ordered something, and discussed our next plan while eating in the room.

I asked Master Jiu, what do you want to do next?

Master Jiu said: "I've thought about it. Murong Sturgeon also needs to live in the ancient village. If he comes to the town, he will definitely buy some daily necessities, including firewood, rice, oil, salt, etc. I know there is a grocery store in this village. We can go to him in turn. Wait at home."

The third uncle asked me: "Eldest nephew, what do you think?"

I shook my head and said: "I have a different idea. Is the whereabouts of this Murong sturgeon rarely known? I guess he is hiding himself on purpose. Therefore, he should rarely come to the town. Because once he shows up, his whereabouts are very close There's a little more risk of exposure. I don't know what he's hiding yet, but he definitely cares about it. Even if he can come to town, it won't be very frequent. So we've been sitting on the sidelines for four days The probability of keeping him is almost zero."

"Then we didn't come here for nothing?" Master Jiu was a little frustrated when he heard that.

"It's not in vain, at least we can try. If we can't defend, we just attack."

"Attack? How to attack?"

I analyzed: "I also thought about it when I came here. If I were Murong Sturgeon, I would hide myself and keep the secrets of Jingjiang Ancient Village from being known by others. I would never show up easily. But like Jiu As the Lord said, I still need to buy some daily necessities, and I will send the goods to a designated place by having someone deliver them, and then notify me to pick them up."

Master Jiu nodded: "That makes sense. So what you mean is that we don't have to wait for Murong Surgeon, as long as we find the person who delivered the goods to him, we may find Murong Surgeon by following the clues."

"Yes. Ninth Master, Third Uncle, do you think this trick is feasible?"

Master Jiu said: "It's feasible, it's feasible, but where can I find this delivery person?"

I waved my hand: "It's very simple, just go to the grocery store and ask. The consumption level in this town is here. Murong Yu needs a return of goods, and the quantity must not be small. The grocery store must have an impression of such a big customer. "

Master Jiu frowned, and said hesitantly, "But if we just ask, they can't tell us."

I laughed secretly in my heart, this Ninth Master's Hades Hook has superb methods of picking up corpses, and he has rich experience on the water.However, people's energy is limited. He has devoted all his energy to this in his life, and his mind will often short-circuit other aspects, and his consideration is not comprehensive enough.He is far less flexible than third uncle.

I looked at Uncle San and said, "Leave this matter to Uncle San, and it will definitely be done neatly."

Master Jiu hurriedly asked Third Uncle, "Dong Bin, do you have a solution?"

The third uncle chuckled: "Jiuye, don't listen to Li Yang's nonsense, I only know about this, how can I find a way. But I, Li Dongbin, have an idea... Jiuye, is there any Taoist temple around here?"

"Taoist Temple? Yes. It should be twenty miles away from here. There is a Baiyun Temple, which is a Taoist temple, but it seems that there is no incense."

The third uncle nodded: "Okay. That's fine, we just use him as an excuse. Let's go. Let's go to the grocery store now. If everything goes well, we will be able to find clues about Murong Yu in a while. Eldest nephew, let's take him this time. How much cash?"

"Probably more than 5000." I replied.

"Bring it all to me." The third uncle reached out and asked for money.

I nodded, and took out the 5000 yuan cash I brought in the bag and handed it to my third uncle.

I know Third Uncle, he will have an idea as soon as he rolls his eyes, so he probably has an idea after a while.

After we discussed in the hotel and ate something, it was almost noon.

This is equivalent to one-eighth of our deadline passed, but there is no progress at all.

When the third uncle went out, he would usually take off his tattered Taoist robe, because wearing that thing would turn heads too often.Only when doing errands, do you put it on again as an outfit.

For example, when we were about to leave the hotel, he put on the tattered Taoist robe again, not only that, but also tied a bun on his head, which seemed a little more serious.

Originally, Master Jiu said that the hotel is not far from our place, and we can walk there.But the third uncle insisted on driving. I could see that he wanted to make a big splash. The bigger the better, he probably figured out how to fool the grocery store.

We got out of the hotel, got into the car, walked along that street for a certain distance and stopped in front of a grocery store according to Master Jiu's command.

There is a sign in the grocery store, which reads: Universal Store.

Chapter 1711 The Taoist Master of Baiyun Temple

The name and decoration style of this store are a bit like the style of the seventies and 80s.The front of the door is not very big, and there are a lot of miscellaneous goods at the door. Although they are very ordinary, they are also dazzling.

As soon as we parked the car at the door, a person came out and waved at us: "Oh, don't block the door, and let people not do business?"

The man was over 50 years old, he was very handsome, and he was dressed in ordinary clothes, but he looked a little arrogant.

I don't know how to read faces, but when I met this person face to face, I felt that the person's eyebrows were gloomy and a little blue.

In addition, there was a mole the size of a grain of rice on the hollow of his nose, although it was not big, it was jet black.Let you see his face, and you will naturally focus on the mole.

Although I don't know physiognomy, my intuition tells me that this person has a bad face.

The third uncle jumped off the co-pilot directly. He was wearing that tattered Taoist robe, and he surprised the people in the grocery store when he appeared.

The third uncle first gave a call, and said: "Pindao is the chief, and the poor came from Baiyun temple. There will be a big ritual in the temple soon. Dare I ask if it is possible to buy it here?"

As soon as the man heard this, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Oh, it turns out that it is the Taoist master of Baiyun Temple, I'm sorry. I'm the owner of this store, and my name is Wang Sihai. There are all kinds of goods here, and the prices are fair. If you want to buy, you should come here. Come on, please come inside."

The man suddenly changed his attitude and became smiling, his face changed really quickly.

Master Jiu and I also got out of the car, passed the grocery store in front and arrived at the back under the guidance of the man.

The grocery store is full of daily necessities, and there are also a lot of vegetables and meat. In short, it is like a small supermarket.It's just a lot messier than a supermarket.

I noticed that there was a young man standing behind the counter. He sat inside with only half of his head exposed, and his eyes were staring at us all the time.He should be the clerk of this grocery store.Until I followed Wang Sihai to the backyard, I still felt that guy was staring at us.

I turned my head sharply and met the guy's eyes.Then the guy withdrew his complicated eyes and went to fiddle with the things in front of him.

It's normal to think about it. When three people like this come in suddenly in the store, everyone will pay more attention.

The backyard should be some warehouses, and the man led us into a fairly neat room and poured us tea.

In this room, I smelled a smell of Chinese medicine.

The third uncle went straight to the point and told him directly that there would be a religious ceremony in Baiyun Temple in a few days, and he needed to buy some necessary supplies, besides food and vegetables, there were other daily necessities. If possible, he could buy them directly at his grocery store.

Wang Sihai patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, Daoist, you can just buy from me. When you want the goods, make an order, and I will prepare them for you as soon as they are ready, so that your funeral will not be delayed."

The third uncle looked around, smacked his lips and frowned, shook his head and said, "Let's forget it, I don't think you sell a lot of goods here, are they almost expired? I'd better go to another place to have a look..."

Wang Sihai hurriedly grabbed the third uncle: "Don't, Daoist. Don't think I don't usually sell the goods, but my goods are guaranteed to be fresh."

While Wang Sihai was chatting with Uncle San, I suddenly noticed that Wang Sihai was wearing a green ring on his thumb.

That ring finger is emerald green and round, very eye-catching.I think not only I saw it, but Third Uncle and Jiu Ye should also notice it.But everyone remained silent.

You must know that modern people hardly have the habit of wearing rings, at most they wear rings.This kind of wrench was most common in the Qing Dynasty.And the one worn by Wang Sihai also looks like an old item.

Looking at the furnishings in Wang Sihai's house, it doesn't look like he collects antiques.The wrench was worn on his hand, which was a little abrupt.

My heart moved, and I felt that we might have found the right person when we came to find Wang Sihai.There should be something to say about the origin of this finger pull.Either something in the ground, or something in the water.

It is close to the Jingjiang River, so it is more likely to come from the water.

If it really came from a clear boat in the water, then it may have passed through the hands of Murong Sturgeon.It is normal for a river-scouring master to get some objects out of the water.

However, these speculations can only be speculations in the absence of evidence.We can't make a case for this either.

The third uncle touched his body, took out the 5000 yuan, waved it in front of Wang Sihai, and said: "Our ritual ceremony is arranged by a big benefactor, and the date is very tight, just in the past few days .This time our temple master asked me to come, just to make a decision on this matter. I can't explain if your goods are not complete at that time."

Wang Sihai's small shop probably hasn't encountered such a big business for a long time. When he saw the 5000 yuan, his eyes straightened.He definitely won't let a big customer like Uncle San slip away.

He pulled the third uncle back again, sat down and said, "Master Dao, don't worry. To tell you the truth, our store has just bought a batch of new goods. There are meat and vegetables, all of which are the freshest. If you are in a hurry, I will give you this batch of meat and vegetables first."

The third uncle hastily said seriously: "It's good, it's good... It's a sin, a sin..."

Wang Sihai also reacted, and slapped himself directly on the mouth: "Look at my mouth, monks are vegetarians, right? That's okay, I will take out the meat, and the leftover vegetables, bamboo shoots, noodles, rice, etc. I can give you all."

I was amused in my heart, the third uncle pretended to be an image.He usually eats more meat than anyone else, but at this time, he acts as if hearing the word "meat" is a great sin.

After listening to Wang Sihai, the third uncle questioned: "Boss Wang lied to me? It's just your small shop, with so many goods, who will sell them?"

Wang Sihai was really anxious: "Don't believe me. Let me tell you, I also have a regular customer in this store. This person buys a large number of daily necessities from me every month, including food. My goods are for He prepared."

After listening to Wang Sihai, the three of us looked at each other.

At this moment, I have a bottom line in my heart, that regular customer is probably Murong Yu.

The third uncle remained calm and asked, "Old customers? Do you still have regular customers here? Why does he need so much goods every month?"

Wang Sihai shook his head: "Then I don't know. People buy things, we sell things, and we pay the money and deliver the goods. We don't need to ask so clearly, do we?"

"Then does he come to pick up the goods every time he wants them, or do you make a special trip to deliver them?" Third Uncle asked again.

When Wang Sihai heard this, his face changed, as if he had thought of something, his eyes rolled around, and he looked at the three of us suspiciously.

Chapter 1712 Are You A Living Immortal?

I didn't think well, Third Uncle's question was too straightforward, and his intention was too obvious, this Wang Sihai saw it.If he really had something to do with Murong Yu, he would definitely guard against this.

Sure enough, Wang Sihai changed his humility just now, and said in a cold voice: "Master Dao, you buy your goods, what are you doing inquiring about these? You don't come here to inquire about the market and grab my customers, right? If that's the case ..."

As Wang Sihai said, he rolled up his sleeves, picked up a harpoon from the side, and glared at us.

Judging by Wang Sihai's appearance, he is also a fool.It was no accident that he was the only grocery store in this town.Judging from his style, it's not that other people don't want to open another one, but that they dare not open one.

At the same time, it can be seen that Wang Sihai's worry is not about Murong Yu, but about his own business being robbed, so it will be easier to handle.

But in the face of such a scene, it seems to have lost control.Wang Sihai became vigilant, and it should be impossible to get something out of Wang Sihai.

And the third uncle seemed to have expected it, he smiled slightly, still sat on the chair, stared at Wang Sihai, and asked: "Boss Wang, if I read correctly, do you often have diarrhea these days?"

Wang Sihai was taken aback: "What's wrong?"

The third uncle shook his head and explained: "It's diarrhea. Do you often have diarrhea these days?"

Wang Sihai was even more confused: "You... how do you know?"

The third uncle said again: "And you wake up at three or four o'clock in the morning every morning. After waking up, you start to sweat, that is, cold sweat. At the beginning, there is a layer of cold sweat. Now I think you have to break out in cold sweat at least three times a day... After breaking out of cold sweat, the body is like falling into an ice cave, and it needs to be relieved after sunrise, is Pindao right?"

When Uncle San described it, I noticed that Wang Sihai's expression became more and more ugly. It seemed that what Uncle San said was right.

What Uncle San said are some symptoms of traditional Chinese medicine, I feel that he also judged from Wang Sihai's appearance.What I saw before, the darkening of Wang Sihai's eyebrows, and the mole in the nasal cavity should be one of the symptoms of judgment.

It's just that I found these, but I couldn't analyze them in depth, and the third uncle could judge some hidden dangers hidden in his body from his appearance.

Wang Sihai didn't know what went wrong. Seeing that all the incidents mentioned by the third uncle were correct, he must have started to look at the third uncle with admiration.

He threw the harpoon with a bang, and came over to the third uncle and said, "Master Dao, I didn't expect you to be a genius doctor. You are right. I have been in this situation for a long time. I have seen both Chinese and Western medicine. I also ate a lot, but it didn’t work at all. Daoist doctor, if you can see my illness, you will be able to cure it, right? I have a bad attitude just now, so I apologize to you. How about prescribing me some medicine?"

The third uncle waved his hand and stood up: "I am not a doctor, let alone a miracle doctor. I can't save you, but you and I have met once, and it can be regarded as a fate. Let me leave a word for you. If you want Remember..."

"Please tell me, what are you talking about?" Wang Sihai looked at Third Uncle anxiously and asked.
