Chapter 16 Giving Longevity Clothes
In the middle of the night, how can anyone wash things in the mountains? I suddenly remembered the man who had come to buy the steel wool, so I took two steps forward curiously, and sure enough, it was the man who was squatting there.
He was brushing his hands with a black steel wool ball, and suddenly he turned his head to see me, and said calmly: "Boss, why are you here, I went to your store to buy steel wool balls just now, and you are not there, so I took it myself, and put the money in the drawer." ”
I sighed and said suspiciously, "How do you brush your hands with a steel wool ball, don't you feel pain?" ”
He shook his head and said it didn't hurt, and I reminded with concern: "Don't stay in the mountains for too long, I heard that the fire here killed people yesterday." ”
"Got it, thanks." He said calmly.
This man is so weird, kindly reminded him that he is so plain. But I was also relieved, yesterday I thought he was washing something strange with a steel wool ball, but it turned out to be for himself to wash his hands. I also know that some jobs tend to get dirty, and you can't really wash them clean if you don't brush them.
But I'm still scared of this man, because the money he gives him will suddenly turn into skin, so I think something is wrong with him.
I asked him how to go down the mountain, he told me carefully, I thanked him, and when I turned to leave, he suddenly said, "Boss, do you sell shrouds?" ”
I said yes, I have a lot of things in this grocery store, and there are also shrouds, but they have to be ordered. He said he wanted me to order two pieces for him, one red and one blue. Red for women, blue for men, and then asked me how much.
I remember the price of the shroud, so I said very embarrassedly: "Four thousand a piece, the money is a bit expensive." ”
He didn't even think it was expensive, but calmly said that he didn't have so much money on him, and he would go and get the money for me when it was almost dawn. I asked about the height and size, and he said that the men's style should be done according to his model, and I was frightened after hearing it, and said buddy, you are going to order a longevity dress for yourself, and he laughed and didn't speak.
I wrote down the height model and said it would be done in two days. Because my shroud was going to be ordered at a store in town, he said that there was no hurry, and it would be done in five days.
After going down the mountain, I fell asleep in the store again, and neither Li Xuemei nor the man came back.
When I woke up, it was already slightly light, and I habitually stretched, but my foot kicked something. I looked down, but I found that there was an extra box under my feet, so I picked it up and looked at it, and I was so frightened that I almost threw it away.
It was a large piece of skin, much more real than yesterday's, and there were clearly visible hairs on it, like the skin of the legs, with some ash sticking. This should be the 8,000 yuan sent by the man, I carefully put it away, and when the old man came to collect it in the evening, I was so panicked that I trembled.
This is human skin, if yesterday it could have been two options, pig skin or human skin, today I was able to order it.
It's human skin, yes.
I called Zhang Yuan in a hurry and said this in fear. Zhang Yuan asked me in confusion: "It's two shrouds, right?" ”
I said yes, one red and one blue, red for women, blue for men.
Zhang Yuan said that he was afraid that something was wrong, but he had a few businesses in hand and was not available to come. He said that when he asked for a shroud next time, he would ask the man who the red shroud was for, and ask a little more, and the other party would not get angry.
I said yes, then hung up the phone and went to town to order a shroud. Today's luck is surprisingly good, and the store actually brought me a shroud, saying that the workers have not been there recently, so I will take the sample directly.
I paid a fee of 400 yuan, thinking that this is really a lucrative business, and it costs 400 yuan, but I can take the money.
After returning to the store, I saw the old man coming again, holding a big black umbrella, standing at the door waiting for me. I hurriedly opened the door and said why did I come here before the store opened, and he calmly said that he knew that you had good goods, so he came to get it.
I was a little puzzled and asked, "What are you doing with these things?" ”
But he irritated me not to ask more, I quickly took out the box, the old man opened it, looked at it, immediately handed me eight thousand yuan, and then walked away with the box.
I wondered what I was going to do, and I went upstairs to catch up on my sleep. When I woke up, the sun was about to set, so I hurriedly went downstairs and opened the door, but I couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
There was the corpse of a black cat at the door, and I don't know who put it here. The black cat's head was crushed, and the death was very miserable, and I was so angry that I quickly cleaned up the black cat.
In the evening, the man came and asked me if the shroud was ready, so I took out the shroud and showed it to him and asked if it was okay.
He looked at it very carefully, and then said yes, I remembered Zhang Yuan's words at this time, and wondered: "Who are you giving this red shroud?" ”
"To a woman who died early and is not yet married." He calmly said, "There are four days left for her wedding, and I want to give her the shroud." ”
I immediately understood that this was a kiss.
After he saw the goods, he put away the shroud with satisfaction, and then said to me: "Help me deliver the shroud to the other party's house, do you think?" ”
I hurriedly said no problem, and he gave me the red shroud and told me the address. The house wasn't far away, just a street away from me.
After eating, I took the shroud to the house, the door was open, and the family sat in it to eat, a man and two women. I came in and put the shroud on the table, and the man asked me what I was doing, and I smiled and said your daughter's shroud.
Then I turned around and was about to leave, just after leaving the door, my back collar was suddenly pulled by someone, the man turned me around roughly, I was wondering, I was punched in the face, it turned out that the man did it. Immediately, I was so angry that I scuffled with him, and the two women hurriedly came over to fight.
We were out of breath and ripped apart, and I pointed at the man's nose and scolded, "What the do you mean?" ”
The middle-aged man suddenly jumped like thunder: "What does Lao Tzu mean when he asks you!" My daughter is still alive and well, why are you giving a birthday coat? ”
I was stunned, took out a note with the address written on it, and wondered if it was a mistake. The hostess came and took the note, saying that this was their house, but that their daughter was not dead.
A young girl next to the hostess got angry and pointed at me and scolded me, saying that I was not insane, and that she had brought me a shroud.
I hurriedly apologized, put away the shroud, and then went to pull the shroud. At this moment, something suddenly fell out of the shroud, and when I looked at it, it turned out to be a few stacks of money and a piece of paper.
We picked up the piece of paper, and there was a line of words written on it: Li Yulan, we are about to celebrate the third anniversary of our relationship, I promised you, I will marry you that day, this is a gift money, let your parents take it - Luo Yushan.
Seeing the letter, the young girl suddenly turned pale and hugged her shoulders in horror. The hostess was also so frightened that she slapped her credit, and she picked up the money on the ground like a madman, and screamed: "It's exactly 50,000 yuan, it's really 50,000 yuan!" ”
The man took the money in disbelief and counted it, but he was also afraid that he couldn't. I asked what was wrong, and the young girl cried, "Who gave you the shroud?" ”
I told me what had happened, and the young girl quickly took out her phone, flipped out a photo and showed it to me, asking if it was this man.
In the photo, she hugged a man and smiled happily, and it was the man.
I said it was her, and the young girl immediately cried, saying that she was Li Yulan, and the two families had talked about the gift money before, which happened to be 50,000 yuan.
I panicked when I heard this, and said in surprise: "I don't know why he sent you a shroud, you can call him and ask." ”
"What do you ask...... "The hostess cried vigorously, covering her face, "he died the morning before yesterday and was burned to death." ”
My head buzzed for a moment, and the man was already ...... Burned?
Damn Zhang Yuan, he didn't tell me everything carefully, and let me do business with such a weird person for two days!
The man grabbed the money and stuffed it into my arms, and he said tremblingly: "You made the matter, can you solve it?" My daughter is still so young, you just let the man let her go. ”
I took the money and muttered, "This money can't be spent...... I can't take it either, I'll help you get out tonight, I know where he is. ”
The family quickly thanked me, and I walked out of the house trembling. Although I am a little reckless, I can't be so heartless, the shroud was made by me, and I sent it, I can't indirectly harm a girl.
Tonight, I'm going to talk to the man, and if he doesn't come, I'll go to the mountains to find him.
