"This, this is really your work?"
I'm getting a bit numb after reading this!
The betel nut given by the master craftsman was turned into a red hair tie, which Hua Hua said she would put on her if she met another version of herself.
I've also mentioned that this isn't Huahua's, but an older sister's.
Now the older woman says she made this.
Damn it, I need to get my brain working!
"How could it be fake? Let me tell you, brother, in the whole village, I'm the only one who can make this kind of hair tie!"
Moreover, it also has the effect of ensuring safety and warding off evil spirits!
The woman returned the hair tie to me and then took out a lot of thread and various weaving tools from the cabinet.
I couldn't help but exclaim, "I never would have guessed that this lady does this kind of work!"
I carefully put the hair tie away, sat down next to the older woman, and began to inquire about her situation.
Previously, I always asked the older women about Haopo Village, but I never considered things from their perspective.
Just from this hair tie, I can tell that this middle-aged woman is no ordinary person.
"What's wrong with Brother Chen? Why is he interested in old ladies? Has his hobbies changed since he turned into an old man?"
Old Dao muttered something under his breath. The older woman was a bit far away and probably didn't hear him, but I heard it clearly.
I was speechless with exasperation. I wanted to curse Lao Dao, but with the auntie there, I didn't dare to.
"Brother, I didn't expect you to be so interested in me. Here, take this amulet; consider it a gift from me!"
The older woman blushed a little, then took out a red amulet from the drawer and put it around my neck.
This thing is very exquisitely made, and it even has a faint energy on it.
It's kind of like something that's been blessed.
This is quite remarkable; it means that the old lady's item has the ability to ensure safety.
If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really wouldn't have believed that this seemingly ordinary woman had such abilities.
"Okay, thank you very much, sister. I'll accept this. If you ever need anything from me in the future, just let me know."
Moreover, I'll take care of Brother Zhou's side too!
I placed the amulet on my chest, feeling its power, and my mood became cheerful.
Suddenly, I stared at the old lady's hands and noticed something.
Although the woman was in her forties or fifties, her hands were as white as a young girl's.
If I only looked at her hands, I would probably think this woman was only in her early twenties.
I even had a strange feeling that this older woman might have been a girl in her early twenties like me, but had turned out this way for some special reason.
The problem is that when Liu Sandao came, he clearly called the auntie "Third Sister-in-law".
In other words, Liu Sandao knew the old lady a long time ago.
I shook my head, indicating that I was no longer thinking about these things. The most urgent thing was to rescue Brother Liu as soon as possible.
"Don't worry, brother, it won't be long before I need your help. Don't try to back out then!"
The older woman said with a serious expression.
I didn't refuse, and chatted with the older woman for a bit more, trying to find out where Zhou the tailor usually went.
Unfortunately, nothing was found.
"Little sister, Lao Dao and I are going out to check. Whether there's news or not, I'll definitely be back in three hours!"
I pulled Lao Dao up, ready to go to Shangjiao Village to look for him.
I feel that if Zhou the tailor and Liu the knife are not in the village, then the most likely place is Shangjiao Village.
We solved that problem together last time, but it seems that it may not have been completely solved.
"Okay, I'll prepare the food for you!"
The older woman didn't seem worried about Zhou the tailor; instead, she seemed concerned about me.
I pulled Lao Dao along, ready to go to Shangjiao Village to take a look.
"Brother Chen, you know what, this lady probably has a thing for you. It's a bit strange, she's a married man, why does she like you so much, Brother Chen!"
Old Dao started babbling in my ear.
It's not Lao Dao's fault. The old lady seemed genuinely concerned about me, but she didn't seem as attentive to Zhou the tailor.
"Old Dao, don't you feel that there's no real affection between Zhou the tailor and the old lady?"
As I walked, I kept turning back to talk to Lao Dao.
I've felt something was off since just now, and now I realize it's even more so.
The older woman had no feelings for Zhou the tailor, and Zhou the tailor seemed to feel the same way about the older woman; the two were just living together out of convenience.
Old Dao revealed an expression that only men could understand: "Brother Chen, I understand, I understand everything. Now that I'm an old man, my hobbies have changed too. I like old ladies now."
Unlike me, I'll always love being eighteen.
I tapped Old Knife's hand with annoyance. This guy still has no sense of propriety: "Didn't you notice that this old lady's hands are very smooth, a bit like the hands of a twenty-year-old girl?"
"Rural women who do manual labor regularly don't have this kind of ability!"
I added some more information to Lao Dao.
After hearing this, Lao Dao exclaimed "Damn it!" twice.
"Brother Chen, it seems so. I had a feeling something was off about this old lady before. Could she have suddenly turned old like you?"
If that's the case, it would perfectly explain why the old lady and Zhou the tailor had no feelings for each other.
This is totally just living together as a couple!
Old Dao was completely dumbfounded. This old guy's thinking is very unpredictable, but this time he thought of the same thing as me.
"Well, anyway, there's a problem. We'll look into it again once we find Brother Liu."
I nodded slightly, and now my eyelids started twitching.
I have a feeling that something has happened to Liu Sandao.
From what I just discovered about the old lady, I increasingly felt that from the moment I met her, it was as if I had been set up.
I was just about to look for Zhou the tailor when his wife showed up.
I wanted information about eagle owls, and the old lady happened to have some at her house.
My path was completely planned out, and everything went smoothly no matter which way I went.
With this hair tie, it's even more so!
As soon as news of the hair tie came out, the older woman claimed that she was the one who invented it.
So much information is flooding my mind, it's making my head spin.
I'm still rational. My immediate priority is to find Liu Sandao and Zhou the tailor.
Old Dao and I ran all the way and soon arrived at the border of Shangjiao Village, appearing in front of the courtyard where the cave dwelling was located.
I prepared the talisman paper in advance and specially used Old Knife's blood to draw the talisman. Old Knife's blood is much more effective than ordinary cinnabar.
At that moment, my cell phone signal returned, and I immediately received a message from Liu Sandao.
"Brother, get out of Haopo Village quickly, something's wrong here!"
