The stall owner took Cao Weidong towards his home.

On the road.

The stall owner introduced himself.

"Little comrade, you can call me Lao Wang."

Lao Wang said with a smile:

"I served as a soldier in the early years and was assigned to a factory in the provincial capital after I was transferred to another job. Unfortunately, I couldn't adapt, so I offended my boss and was tricked several times. I resigned from my workplace in anger."

"Since then, I have been tinkering with old objects in the ghost market."

Cao Weidong had an expression of admiration on his face.

"Brother Wang, I didn't expect you to be a veteran. It's really amazing."

Lao Wang waved his hand, his face full of vicissitudes of life.

"Hey, these are all old almanacs."

"He is also a hero who protects his home and country."

Cao Weidong said with a smile.

In fact, Cao Weidong didn't believe even a single punctuation mark in Lao Wang's words.

That's what a ghost market is.

Both humans and ghosts are showing off, only fools are being slaughtered.

People who are too simple are not suitable for shopping in ghost markets.

Lao Wang chatted with Cao Weidong about the local customs in the provincial capital, and suddenly asked casually.

"By the way, I still don't know what your name is, little brother."

Cao Weidong said with an honest face.

"Oh, my name is Xu Aiguo...Brother Wang, how much older are you than me? Just call me Xiao Xu."

Lao Wang nodded and asked tentatively.

"Xiao Xu...you are not from the provincial capital, right?"

Cao Weidong smiled dumbly.

"Brother Wang, how can you be sure that I am not a local?"

Lao Wang explained.

"Although the provincial capital is big, those are the only people who often visit the ghost market. I have been setting up stalls in the ghost market for four or five years and I have seen them all."

"You are new, you are generous, and you don't look like a local."

"And I just talked about some local customs, but you don't know, so I guess you are a foreigner."

Cao Weidong did not refute, so he acquiesced.

A smile spread unconsciously on Lao Wang's face.

……

Under his leadership, Cao Weidong turned into a remote alley.

Cao Weidong looked around.

It's summer now, it's getting dark late, but you can still see the afterglow of the setting sun on the horizon.

Logically speaking, there should be many pedestrians on the road at this time.

But almost no one can be seen on this street.

Cao Weidong said casually.

"Brother Wang, this place is quite deserted."

Lao Wang seemed to be afraid that Cao Weidong would not follow him, so he quickly explained.

"Those of us who are in this business have some shady aspects, so we have to live in a more remote place...Xiao Xu, you should understand, right?"

"And we are very close to my home. We are just around the corner."

"I have a lot of good things at home. I believe you will definitely gain something this time."

Cao Weidong nodded.

"Yes, I understand."

He is almost certain that what Lao Wang is doing is the business of cheating.

You might even be a tomb robber sometimes, dig into other people's tombs with a shovel, and bring back some souvenirs.

Otherwise he wouldn't be able to get such good things.

In the current era, cheating is an act of speculation, and if you are caught, you will eat peanuts.

It is understandable that Lao Wang is so cautious.

But for some reason, the deeper Cao Weidong walked into the alley, the more he felt something bad.

Terrified.

It seems like something bad is about to happen.

After squinting his eyes and thinking for a while, he suddenly reacted and said secretly.

"Wrong!"

"Could this be a warning from the Lucky Tree to me?"

The more Cao Weidong thought about it, the more he felt it was possible.

The ability of the Lucky Tree is to attract good luck.

Think about it the other way around.

If you really encounter bad luck, please give me a reminder. It seems to be a normal thing.

But if bad luck really happens, what will happen?

Cao Weidong's mind turned around and he guessed a rough idea.

The so-called money and silk move people's hearts!

It seems to be a very reasonable thing to take out one hundred and fifty yuan of food in one go, and it is coveted by Lao Wang.

Then contact the group of people who followed me inexplicably last night...

Think about it this way.

Lao Wang is very suspicious.

Cao Weidong figured this out, but didn't say anything more to Lao Wang.

At first, he felt that these were just his speculations.

I have no evidence either.

It’s not good to accuse Lao Wang casually.

Secondly, he was not sure whether his premonition was true.

What if the worries are unfounded?

However, you should be careful and prepared in advance, and then the initiative will be in your own hands.

If Lao Wang really wants to take advantage of others, then there is no need to be polite and just give Lao Wang a socialist iron fist.

Cao Weidong put his hands in his pockets and quietly entered the portable space.

He first prepared the titanium alloy baseball bat.

After thinking about it, I still felt that it was not safe, so I took out the pistol that I had previously seized from the house of Director Zhang of the steel rolling mill.

Ensure that you can take it out from your pocket at any time and catch the enemy by surprise.

With all the preparations, Cao Weidong felt completely at ease.

Next, he followed Lao Wang to the end of the alley.

There is a dilapidated two-door house here, with weeds in front of the door. It looks like no one has lived there for a long time.

Lao Wang smiled.

"Xiao Xu, my house is in front of you. Let's go in. Everything you want is inside."

Cao Weidong hesitated.

"Brother Wang, why doesn't this place look like someone lives in it?"

Lao Wang said with a smile.
