Coffin of the Nether World - C57

Of course, after being with her for more than two years, I certainly didn’t think she was going to cooperate with me. I figured that if I told her she had a problem, she might jump up and grab me by the neck and shout, “You’re the one who’s sick.”

In the afternoon, after school, to my surprise, Zhang Kefan actually took the initiative to look for me, and even passed me a box of milk.

Seeing her troubled face, I thought it was funny, so I asked her, “You actually gave me milk, could it be that you put some medicine in there?”

“The milk is to thank you for not exposing me during class today, and even helped me get out of the situation. It doesn’t mean anything, so if you don’t like it, you can throw it away.” Her voice was still cold, and she didn’t want to say a word to me.

Since she didn’t want to talk to me anymore, I didn’t want to bother with her. Although they were all going home, just like what she said, he was going to go his own way and I was going mine, so we didn’t have any intention of going our own way.

Moreover, I have other things to do. I don’t know why, but I actually caught up to her and said, “I might be going home a little late today. Tell Sister Kexuan about it.”

The moment I said those words, I immediately regretted it. She definitely wouldn’t give me a good face.

“Say it yourself.” She rolled her eyes at me and left by herself.

Forget it, I can’t be bothered about her anymore. After walking all the way to the bottom of our district, about ten minutes later, I turned into an alley.

As soon as I entered the alley, a ghastly wind pounced on my face.

Unlike the hustle and bustle outside, the inside of the alleyway was basically deserted. Sometimes, a gust of wind blew past, and there would even be two bills that could only be used by dead people floating outside the alleyway.

The eerie wind was certainly not the worst kind of wind. On the contrary, although this place looked a little scary, the things that appeared here were probably the least likely to be Chengdu.

This is the street where we normally talk about funeral items. Thus, other than some people in the family who have met with mishaps, there would usually be people who would come here to beg for a Buddha statue, or people with a guilty conscience coming here to find some grand masters to calculate and something.

When I was strolling around, I accidentally found this place. When I was curious about it, I walked in, but I didn’t expect that it was also because of this that I got to know Lao Xu.

“Lao Xu! Lao Xu, are you there? ”

After seeing the familiar sign “Paper Shop”, I stepped inside and shouted loudly.

was a young Old Man who had just turned sixty years old and was morally greedy for cheap goods. Opening a paper plucking shop was equivalent to selling paper to a cow, but he earned all of his money from selling paper making money, and according to him, this was called “If one is willing to fight, if one is willing to accept it one is willing, I am happy.”

When I came in for a stroll, he actually tricked all the snacks in my possession and gave me a piece of yellow paper. He said that it was to ward off evil and refused to sell it for thousands of dollars.

I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when I looked at the talisman that even I couldn’t understand. But I had gotten to know Lao Xu from this, which allowed me to find a sense of hometown in this big city of Chengdu.

“Brat, I’ve told you so many times. You’re not allowed to have a big name like Little Four (No big deal). You have to call him Grandpa Xu.” Lao Xu is also a genuine old Sichuan, and he speaks the authentic Sichuan language, so I don’t need to use my Sichuan term when talking to him.

“Grandpa Xu, where is the ha-ha [1] that grandpa can’t scam] little kids for snacks?” I rolled my eyes at him in annoyance.

Embarrassed, he said to me, “Didn’t you say that you wouldn’t mention this matter anymore? “You stinking brat, you’re talking about it again?”

“Hehe, this is for you. Here, this is your milk.” As I said that, I passed the box of milk that Zhang Kefan had just given me to him.

Without the slightest bit of embarrassment, he took the milk.

“Stinky brat, you haven’t been here for a few days, and now you’re bringing me milk as soon as you came. Is it some kind of evil water in your stomach?”

The meaning of these words seemed to be similar to what I had told Zhang Kefan before. I laughed somewhat awkwardly and said to him: “Aiyo, aren’t we going to take the entrance exams soon? I don’t have the time to come visit you everyday.”

“That’s fine, read well …”

“However …”

My words collided with Lao Xu’s words. Lao Xu turned his head to look at me and said, “I knew you had bad intentions, you stinking brat. Say it, what’s the matter? Did you fancy that little girlfriend in class and want to ask me for a piece of fate and combination? ”

What are these people and what are these people? All of a sudden, I don’t know whether to laugh or cry at this unreliable Lao Xu, is this a elder’s words?

“What are you talking about?” “I have serious business to ask the people in your line of work, and I guess only those in your line of work would understand …”

“Wait a minute, brat, I asked you what is’ our business’? Didn’t I already tell you that? Our business is the quintessence of traditional culture, which has been approved by the National Party Central Committee, do you know that? ”

“I know. “That’s why I’m saying that in your line of work, I didn’t say anything.”

“You …” Lao Xu was choked up by my words, and immediately skipped over the topic, asking me what the hell was going on.

Regarding Zhang Kefan’s illness, I really didn’t know how to explain it to him, so I simply told him everything that Sister Kexuan had told me, and also everything that I had observed for the past two years.

Lao Xu, I still have faith in you. Although the “Burial Street” is also called the “Liar Street”, and most of the people on this street only earn money because of the large amount of money they earn from their money. However, I cannot deny that the shopkeepers on this street all have this kind of money.

Of course, I don’t know if it’s true or not, and even Lao Xu himself didn’t know about this. After all, Master told me before that there were still many liars in this business. If any one of the shopkeepers had true abilities, then Master wouldn’t have sighed so emotionally.

After Lao Xu heard what I said, he frowned and said to me: “The situation you’re in is truly strange, I’ve been in this industry for so many years, yet I’ve never seen anything like this before. Wait a minute, I want to see if there’s anything similar. ”

I saw that Lao Xu was frowning and did not make a sound, just waiting for him to think.

I looked at him going around the room looking for something, and estimated that he had waited for around half an hour before Lao Xu said to me: “Don’t be anxious, I’m afraid I have to take my time to look through the books here.”

With that said, Lao Xu pointed to a nearby four story bookshelf that was close to the wall.

“So many books?! You have to find out until next year! ”

“Hurry up and make a hammer mark! “Let me assure you, will it be alright to find out before you take the exam?”

“Got it!” I did not hesitate and immediately agreed. I told him that if I could not find out what was going on right now, I would have to go back first. Otherwise, my sister would worry about me later.

If I can quietly deal with it, it would be for the best. But if it really doesn’t work, it’s not too late to tell Sister Kexuan. I think only she can ask Zhang Kefan to cooperate with me.

After returning, Sister Kexuan didn’t even ask me what I was doing. I just knew that Zhang Kefan had already told him in advance.

After finishing our meal, Zhang Kefan said to me in her usual indifferent tone: “In a while, I’ll go to your room and help you study.”

“Oh, thank you.” He probably helped me greet Big Sister Xiaowen earlier, so I didn’t plan to reject him. Furthermore, if it wasn’t for her overbearing tone this morning, I wouldn’t have rejected her.

“You told it to the Sister Kexuan for me?”

“Don’t be too pleased with yourself. Help me do the rest of the homework, and we’ll settle it.”

“It can’t be, with a single sentence, I have to help you complete a month’s worth of lessons?!”

She pursed her lips in a smile at my words, and I noticed that there were two dimples on each side of her face when she laughed. She was quite pretty.

“What are you looking at!” “You’re not allowed to look!”

She seemed to see me looking at her, and she snapped at me.

I chuckled and stopped talking as I started to explain the topic to her.
