After the six people thought about it for a while, the thin man scratched his head and said: "The company has just opened and there are relatively few people. Mr. Wang is our first customer. Except for moving Mr. Wang once, we go to work on time every day." After get off work, I stayed in the company and didn’t go anywhere.”
At this time, the thin man's eyes suddenly lit up and he said: "By the way, after lunch the day before yesterday, the six of us sat in the woods outside, ate watermelon, and chatted for a while with an old man who was herding sheep.
This old sheepherder is the only stranger we have come into contact with."
Old sheepherder? Zhang Fan raised his eyebrows slightly.
"What does this old sheepherder look like?" Zhang Fan asked.
"He is quite dark, wearing a pair of rubber shoes with open toes, a pair of good-quality pants and a polyester vest." The thin man thought for a while and said.
"I've seen this old man before, and it was he who told me that there was a problem deep in the woods." At this time, the owner of the moving company added.
This is also the old man Zhang Fan saw today.
"Benefactor, they are talking about the old man you just met when you went out. I have seen this old man before. When I came to the moving company, I saw six moving workers chatting with the old man and eating watermelon. After I came, they
Six people came up to me, invited me into the company, and asked the girl at the front desk to introduce me to the situation." Wang Zhigang looked at Zhang Fan and continued.
Hearing Wang Zhigang's words, Zhang Fan raised his eyebrows, looked at Wang Zhigang and asked, "Have you had any communication with this old man when we last met?"
"There was no communication, but when he saw me, I clearly saw a hint of surprise in his eyes, as if... yes, as if he had seen me before." Wang Zhigang said, "But, I don't
know him."
"At that time, I was in a hurry to move, so I went directly to the moving company. When I came out, I wanted to chat with the old man and ask him if he had seen me somewhere. But I found that the sheep were still there, but the old man was gone.
." Wang Zhigang said.
"Could it be him?" Zhang Fan glanced at Wang Zhigang and muttered to himself.
"You said this old man wanted to harm me?" Wang Zhigang asked.
"Isn't it possible? He is an old man who herds sheep, how can he mobilize evil spirits?" Wang Zhigang said.
"If he really had the ability to mobilize evil spirits, he wouldn't be eating sesame seed cakes and herding sheep every day and living such a miserable life, right?" The boss of the moving company also said.
Zhang Fan glanced at the two of them and saw that what they said did make some sense. Moreover, Zhang Fan did not observe anything out of the ordinary from the face of the old sheep herder. He was just an ordinary person.
Despite this, Zhang Fan always felt that this old man was not a simple man. After all, he was the person related to both parties.
"Then do you know where this old man's home is?" Zhang Fan asked.
The six people shook their heads first, and the boss also shook his head. No one knew where the old man's house was, which was a bit troublesome. If they knew, they could go to the old man's house to see if there were any clues.
Now that he knew nothing about the old man, it would be a little difficult to investigate this matter.
"Dong dong dong..."
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in……"
The owner of the moving company responded.
I saw the girl at the front desk of the company pushing open the door and entering with a stack of information in her hand. She glanced at everyone first, then walked straight to the boss of the moving company and said: "Boss, these need your signature."
The boss of the moving company took a look at the pile of documents, nodded slightly, and then began to sign.
"Let's go to the surrounding villages to find out where the old sheepherder lives." The thin man said. They also felt that something was wrong with the old man. The most important thing was that they cleared themselves of the charges.
"Okay, then go and ask around." Zhang Fan said.
As soon as Zhang Fan finished speaking and the six people were about to leave, the girl at the front desk suddenly asked: "Is the old sheep herder you are talking about the same old sheep herder who ate watermelon with you that day?"
The bodies of the six people paused slightly. The thin man turned around, looked at the girl at the front desk and said, "Yes, that's the old sheep herder. What's wrong? Do you know where the old sheep herder lives?"
"I know." The girl at the front desk replied naturally.
As soon as these words came out, everyone present turned their attention to the girl at the front desk.
"Where is his home?" the thin man asked.
"He lived in that poplar forest. He was a migrant. The village committee took care of him and said that he would be given a piece of land to build a house. But he didn't take it. He went directly to the forest and planted trees in the middle.
Several trees died, freeing up an open space of more than fifty square meters. The old sheep herder built a thatched house there. Originally, his behavior was not allowed by policy, but the village committee saw that he was pitiful, so he just
Never mind." The girl at the front desk said.
"How do you know these things?" The owner of the moving company put down the pen in his hand and asked with curiosity on his face.
"The uncle told me that, and I also went to his house." The girl at the front desk said.
"Is his home really in the location you just mentioned?" the owner of the moving company asked with confusion on his face.
"This is false. Although his house is not big, it is very clean." The girl at the front desk continued.
Hearing what the girl at the front desk said, everyone couldn't help but look at each other. They all heard the boss of the moving company say that the old man wouldn't let him go to the middle of the woods, saying that the middle of the woods was very weird, and anyone who went in would become crazy when they came out.
Now the girl at the front desk actually went in and came out safely. Could it be that the old man was trying to scare people? After all, he himself lived in the woods.
"By the way, why did you go to the old man's place?" Zhang Fan looked at the girl at the front desk and asked.
"On the first day when the company just moved here, I met the old man. At noon, the boss asked me to order a meal, so I made an order. I ordered the meal per person, but before the meal was delivered, there were
One of the workers had something to do at home and left, so there was a portion of rice left. I saw that the master was gnawing dry sesame seed cakes, so I gave him the remaining portion of the meal. He kept thanking me.
There was nothing much to do during the lunch break. We chatted for a while and the topic of mutton came up. I said I loved mutton, so he said, give me a leg of mutton when the sheep is slaughtered. I thought it was a joke at the time, but I didn’t mean it at all.
Take it seriously.
As a result, on the third day after moving here, the old man told me that he had killed a sheep and asked me to go to his place to get the legs of lamb after get off work in the evening. So, I followed him and the old man gave me two large legs of lamb! "The girl at the front desk said excitedly.
