Chapter 288 Liu Yong
Feng Zhi watched Boss Zhou leave and asked, "Miss, what could it be?"
"I'm afraid something happened to someone he knows. We'll know when we go over there later." Su Nuobai was not sure what it was.
Brother Zhou's business is very good. People around him listen to Xiao Jiang's stories and when they feel bored, they will come to him to buy some peanuts and sunflower seeds.
Business this year is much better than last year. It seems that there is hope for me to get married.
Xiao Jiang’s story was also very exciting, and everyone was nervous and screaming when listening to it.
This scared everyone who passed by. Those who knew that Master Su was setting up a stall here thought that something big had happened, while those who didn't thought that something big had happened.
Liang Wenyan came back with a happy face: "Master Su, this talisman is effective. I am now on the boat and it feels like flat ground. I even let the little brother shake the boat and it was fine."
Su Nuobai looked at the time and said, "It's good that it works. It's still early. You can contact the dock. There should be a free boat now. If you go too late, you won't be able to leave tomorrow."
"Thank you, Master Su." Liang Wenyan took out a stack of banknotes and handed it to her.
Feng Zhi took the banknote without hesitation and started to pack up his stall.
Everyone knew that she had other things to do, so they didn't ask her to stay longer today and just told her to come back tomorrow.
Su Nuobai and the others came to West Street, said hello to Wei Ling and the others first, and then went to Boss Buzhou's shop.
Boss Zhou’s paper figures are much larger than Zhiqu’s, and they look quite full. In comparison, Zhiqu’s seems a little empty.
"Master Su." Boss Zhou was distracted while making paper figures. When he heard the voice, he turned around and saw that it was her.
Su Nuobai looked at the shop, and besides him and his family, he asked, "Do you want to talk about this here?"
Boss Zhou said a few words to his family and then took them to the yard behind the shop: "Master Su, please sit down for a while. I'll go get you some tea."
"Don't bother, I brought my own tea set." Su Nuobai said as she took out the tea-making tools from her bag and started making tea on the table.
Boss Zhou was stunned for a moment, then his expression relaxed instead of being as nervous as before.
Su Nuobai pushed a cup of tea in front of him: "What happened?"
"It's related to our paper-making business, which is also related to the Yin sect."
"My family has been in the paper-making business for generations, so I never had many friends growing up. People thought we were unlucky and didn't want to associate with us."
"My childhood friends were either the children of the coffin shop owner or the grandson of the funeral clothing shop owner, but we didn't care."
"Like the elders said, every job has to be done by someone, including the corpse retrievers in the river. Otherwise, who will help these people deal with their afterlife?"
"A few days ago, I received a letter from my friend. He said something had happened. His family also made paper figurines, but something happened to them, so they sold their house and shop in Shengjing City and moved to a more remote town."
"We occasionally exchange letters, but as we get older, the correspondence becomes less frequent. The last time I received a letter from him was ten years ago."
Boss Zhou handed her a letter and said, "Master Su, please help me take a look. I suspect something may have happened to him."
Su Nuobai took the letter from his hand and read it.
It describes a story that one day a housekeeper from a wealthy family came to the house and said that their wife was sick and they heard that paper figures could ward off disasters.
I wanted him to make a paper figure to help ward off disasters, but making a paper figure to ward off disasters means adding finishing touches to the figure, which is a taboo in a paper-making shop.
It’s not that you can’t dot the finishing touches, but there are certain requirements for the finishing touches. The locust tree is the pen holder, the black cat is the pen tip, and cinnabar is the pigment. The older these things are, the better.
These things are not available in every paper-making shop, but they just happen to have them.
He didn't know how these people knew it, but he didn't agree.
The letter ends here.
"The letter said he didn't agree. Why do you think something happened to him?" Su Nuobai asked Boss Zhou.
"I don't know either. I just feel uneasy. Even though I wrote back, I'm afraid it will take some time for it to reach him."
"So I'd like to ask Master Su to help me take a look. Please name your price. If he's fine, that would be great. If he's fine, please help him out."
"It can also be regarded as my explanation to our childhood playmates." Boss Zhou said solemnly.
It didn't matter if Su Nuobai made a trip: "Give me his address and I'll go take a look."
Boss Zhou gave her an address and prepared to take out the money from his pocket and give it to her.
Su Nuobai: "Let's talk about it when I come back. We don't know what the situation is yet, so it's useless for you to give it to me."
After she finished speaking, Fengzhi and the others borrowed the ghost road and went to Liuya Town.
As soon as they entered the yard, they heard many people talking: "Another death in the Wang family."
"Yeah, I don't know what happened. Their family used to be very prosperous, but now four concubines have died this year."
"Why did they all die out of nowhere?"
"Who knows? People in the government office said that the concubine's death was a bit strange."
"How weird is it?" asked a bystander.
"I heard that the deceased concubine's body was like paper, layer upon layer. The coroner was terrified. He said he had never seen anything like it in his entire life as a coroner."
"Is this a ghost?"
Su Nuobai and the others couldn't help but raise their eyebrows slightly as they listened to these people talking and walking away.
"This is really an evil thing!" Xiao Jiang was very curious after hearing it.
"Miss, should we go to the government office first, or to the paper-making shop first?" Feng Zhi asked after thinking for a while.
"Let's go to the paper-making shop first, and then see the situation before deciding whether to go to the government office." Su Nuobai said as he turned and walked towards the address Boss Zhou gave him.
The door of the paper-making shop was closed, and they knocked for a long time but no one came to open the door.
"If you want to buy paper-made items, go look somewhere else. The owner of this shop has been invited to the Wang family to make paper-made items, and he hasn't been back for a long time."
The shop next door saw them knocking for a long time and came out to remind them.
"How long has he been at the Wang family?" Feng Zhi asked
"I went there seven days ago. If you want to buy their paper figurines, come back tomorrow. He should be back tomorrow."
The owner of the shop next door went back into the shop after saying this and never came out again.
"Let's go, let's go to the Wang family." Su Nuobai said as they walked towards the Wang family, which had the heaviest yin energy.
Without asking for directions, they arrived at the Wang family's gate.
This entrance is no different from that of a wealthy family.
Feng Zhi went to knock on the door.
Soon the door was opened, and the doorman poked his head out and looked at the group: "Who are you looking for?"
"We're looking for Liu Yong, the owner of Liuji's paper-making shop. We heard they came to your house to make paper figures."
The doorman was stunned for a moment and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go and inform you."
After saying that, he muttered, "I've found everyone here."
