The girl became more and more panicked as she spoke, and the expression on her face changed rapidly as she spoke.
"So, were you looking for that wooden man just now?"
The girl nodded and said, "Yes, I am looking for the wooden man, but I searched the whole house and couldn't find it. You said you saw that weird man. I suspect that it is the wooden man carved by me."
"When did you carve it?"
The girl thought for a moment and said, "Three days ago, on the day my grandfather went out, he gave me a task and asked me to carve at least one wooden figure in a day. Since I was still a novice, I spent more than eight days carving the body.
When I was young, by the time I was carving the facial features, I was already so tired that I felt dizzy. I went to eat at that time, and after eating, I answered a phone call, so I put down my guard and accidentally picked up the wrong carving knife.
"
Three days ago!
This doesn't add up. The bull-eyed man the old beggar saw was half a month ago, and the girl just carved the wrong wooden figure three days ago. This is wrong.
Seeing that I didn't speak, the girl continued to say to me, "Brother, you said you saw that weirdo. Where did you see it? Can you take me to find him?"
The girl is not very old and should be about the same size as me. It is reasonable for her to call me little brother.
I thought for a while and asked, "I'll take you to find it. Can you deal with it if you find it?"
The girl nodded and said, "Yes, my grandfather said that you can burn it directly with fire because it is carved from wood."
Sure enough, fire defeats wood, this is an eternal truth. Last time we dealt with the evil soldiers in Zhou Qian Film and Television City, we dealt with them in the same way.
"Brother, you must take me there. My grandpa will be back tomorrow. If he comes back and finds out that I have made something like this, he will definitely beat me to death. So, I must hurry up before he comes back.
Let's settle this matter." The girl said anxiously, her face full of expectation.
at her
What I saw on that expectant face was her fear of her grandfather, as if Master Zhou was very strict with her.
"Is your grandpa so cruel?"
She nodded heavily and said, "I'm not an ordinary villain. I am an orphan and was adopted by my grandfather. I have never seen him smile since I was a child."
It seems that Master Zhang is indeed a capable craftsman. As a craftsman, the more skilled he is, the weirder his temper. This is normal. Master Zhang can have such three carving knives and can carve such exquisite wood.
There is no doubt about the man's ability.
Looking at the nervous girl, I reassured her, "It's okay! I'll discuss this matter with your grandpa when he comes back. By the way, you said your grandpa went out, where did he go?"
"Back in the countryside, every year on the 15th day of this month, he would go to the countryside to stay for three days and visit graves."
After hearing this, I hesitated, went to visit the grave, and returned to my hometown in the countryside.
That guy just fought me last night, and he was in this city. Could it be that the carpenter who kidnapped Wang Zhanpeng wasn't Master Zhao? If it wasn't Master Zhao, then who was it? Master Zhao's apprentice? Or maybe it was some other stranger?
No matter who it is, the person who can make that kind of animal head and human body must be related to Master Zhao.
Thinking of this, I choked up my saliva, looked at the girl and asked, "Girl, does your grandfather have an apprentice?"
The girl was stunned for a moment, shook her head and said, "No, I never heard the master say that he has an apprentice."
"Brother, you should hurry up and take me to wait for the wooden man! Let's talk as we walk, I will tell you whatever you want to ask, as long as you take me to find the wooden man before grandpa comes back."
"There's no need to look for it. You won't find it if you go there. I'll come back to find him tomorrow. Don't worry, he won't blame you as long as I'm here."
"What?" After hearing my words, the girl opened her eyes wide and said, "You lied to me, little brother! Are you not going to take me to find that wooden man?"
I said helplessly, "It's not that I won't take you there. Even if I take you there, you won't be able to see that weird guy."
"Why?" The girl said it was difficult to understand.
I don't know how to explain it, because I have never seen that weirdo, and I don't know when he will come out.
So he simply said, "Just listen to me. I won't lie to you. When your grandfather comes back tomorrow, I will tell him personally."
After I say this, I am leaving!
But the girl quickly came forward and grabbed my arm, and said with a pleading look, "Brother, it's okay if you don't take me. Can you tell me where he appeared? You can also tell me the street...
…”
I hesitated instinctively. She was already very anxious and humble. If I didn't tell her, even if she would be fine tomorrow, she would hate me tonight. So I said to her, "On Hebin Road! Go there!"
Wear this when you go.”
As I spoke, I took out an amulet from my pocket and handed it to her! When she saw the amulet, she was stunned for a moment and asked me, "Are you..."
"The one who walks in yin and yang!"
After leaving these words, I left.
I called Fatty Wu when I came out, and we went back after breakfast.
Arriving at the gate of Li Xuemei's community, a woman suddenly stopped Li Xuemei and called out, "Xiaomei."
We stopped and looked back, only to see Li Xuemei’s neighbor, Sister Wang, who had lost her cat that day, walking towards us.
<
br> "Are these two your brothers?" Sister Wang asked.
Li Xuemei nodded and said, "Yes, he's my brother. What's wrong, Sister Wang? What can I do for you?"
Sister Wang blinked her eyes and looked around, and said cautiously, "Xiaomei, let me tell you, our community may be haunted! You must not go out at night recently. Also, when you hear footsteps in the corridor
, you must never open the door and look."
When Li Xuemei heard what Sister Wang said, she frowned and looked at me, and then asked, "What's wrong? Sister Wang."
Sister Wang groaned and said, "Recently, there have been footsteps walking around our community every now and then, and some even walked into the corridor on our floor. I asked the property management guys to look at it, but they said they didn't look at it.
I didn't hear anything. So I watched it myself last night, and guess what I saw? I saw a person with a big head walking up and down our corridor, which scared me silly at the time."
Sister Wang made exaggerated gestures. She opened her hands and made a hug gesture! It meant that the person's head was so big.
"That kind of ghost is called a big-headed ghost. It can eat people. Our cat and the dog in the building next door were eaten by him. Anyway, I don't dare to stay here anymore. I want to move back to my hometown for a few days. Xiaomei
Ah, you are a kind-hearted kid. I advise you to move to another place to live in the near future and come back when this area becomes peaceful! I guess if this continues, people will die."
Li Xuemei choked up and said, "Thank you, Sister Wang, I understand!"
"Okay, okay, I'm just here to tell you, be careful. I'm going back to pack my things first. My son is coming to pick me up." Sister Wang said, and left before us.
As soon as she left, Li Xuemei immediately looked at me and asked, "Mr. Li, what Sister Wang said..."
"Not a ghost!"
