life and death deed

Chapter 58 Who Am I?

Yongjun Road is an old road in the county. There are basically no houses above three floors and few stores. You can see old people gathering in twos and threes playing cards together.

I am familiar with everything in the county town. I went to school here when I was a child, so I quickly found a funeral supplies store.

This funeral supplies store is considered a relatively large one in the county. It not only sells things, but also takes care of funeral services. The owner seems to be an aunt in her forties.

"Boss, I want to inquire about someone."

I glanced at the forty-year-old female shopkeeper, who looked quite fat and had a fleshy face, and I instinctively felt that this shopkeeper was not a paper-maker named Jiang. As soon as I entered the shop, I asked.

"What are you asking about?" The forty-year-old female shop owner looked up at me.

"Excuse me, are there any papermakers named Jiang in the county?" I asked.

A look of surprise flashed in the female shopkeeper's eyes, and then she pointed outside and said: "Go straight out and turn right at the first intersection. It's the last room in the dead end."

I'm a little surprised, do you really know?

Immediately afterwards, I thanked him immediately: "Thank you, boss."

But at this time, the female boss laughed. She just smiled normally, but her fierceness made her smile extremely weird. She just heard her say: "Little brother, are you familiar with that person?"

"I'm not familiar with him. I want to ask him something." I said.

"Listen to the elder sister's advice and don't go to that unfortunate guy if you have nothing important to do." The female owner of the funeral supplies shop said with deep meaning.

I was taken aback: "Why?"

"Do you know why he lives in the last room in the dead end?" the female boss said.

I shook my head.

"That's because no one wants to get close to him! Whoever gets close to him will be finished, and whoever gets close to him will have trouble at home! This person is a famous disaster star in our underworld circle. If it weren't for his excellent paper-making skills, Otherwise no one would want to deal with him!”

The female boss spoke quietly.

I took a breath and was a little surprised, but I believed that my uncle would not harm me. Since he asked me to find this papermaker named Jiang, he would definitely not harm me.

But then again, although the female boss in front of me is fierce-looking, judging from her face, she is not a talkative or alarmist person. She doesn't seem to be deceiving me, a complete stranger, for no reason.

"Thank you, sis."

I can't control so much anymore. Even if this papermaker is a murderer, I have to find him. He is the last hope to break the Lihuo Crime Array!

After saying goodbye to the female shop owner of the funeral supplies store, we went straight to the location she gave us.

But when Jin Jiuer and I entered the alley she mentioned, we were both stunned.

"Junior, no one should live in a place like this, right?" Jin Jiuer said.

The alley in front of us is full of old houses that no one lives in, and many of them have only their frames left. I am afraid that no one will come to this kind of place for a day.

And the papermaker named Jiang lives here?

"Go in and take a look first." My heartbeat couldn't help but quicken.

When Jin Jiuer and I were about to go in, an old lady suddenly passed by us.

When I saw this old lady, my eyes immediately widened. Jin Jiuer next to me seemed to feel something and took a sharp breath.

But the old lady ignored us, and just walked forward by herself. After a while, she disappeared, and we don’t know where she went.

"This is..." Jin Jiuer said strangely, as if it was the first time he had seen such a thing.

I nodded gently. I didn't see many such things, and there was a faint fear in my heart.

After that, the old lady disappeared, but her fleeting presence made my heart jump into my throat.The last house in the dead end was relatively normal compared to other houses that were so dilapidated that they could not be lived in at all, but it was also extremely normal.

This house was completely black and had only two floors. The second floor didn't even have windows, only a red curtain.

It was obvious that the house had been decorated deliberately, but I couldn't tell what it was for, and there was no trace of it.

"Excuse me, is there anyone?" I knocked on the closed door.

After a few minutes, the door creaked and slowly opened.

What caught my eye was a pale boy, yes, a boy!
The boy looked younger than me, like a high school student, but although his face was immature, his eyes were unusually aged, like the eyes of a man in his 80s or [-]s.

"I'm looking for Mr. Jiang, a paper-maker." I smiled kindly, thinking he was the apprentice or son of the paper-maker.

"I am, come in."

Unexpectedly, the young man in front of me actually said these words that made me dumbfounded.

"Are you Mr. Zhi Zhi named Jiang?" I asked again uncertainly, no way, the person my uncle asked me to find turned out to be a boy who looked younger than me?

I'm not looking down on young people, but I think it's impossible to decipher the Lihuo Sin Subduing Formation without a lot of Feng Shui experience.

The boy nodded.

After being affirmed again, I glanced at Jin Jiuer beside me. Even though I felt 1000 million disbeliefs in my heart, I still whispered: "Then let's go in."

When facing a living person, no matter how weird he is, Jin Jiu'er is not afraid. But this time, Jin Jiu'er seems not as bold as before. He looks a little timid, as if he is very reluctant to enter this house.

I'm a little surprised. These days, I have a general understanding of Jin Jiu'er. She can stay calm when facing any weird things. I have long regarded her as someone on the same level as me. Just now we When she saw the old lady, Jin Jiuer saw her identity, but she wasn't even afraid. Why was she so afraid when she came here?
But in the end, Jin Jiuer walked into the house with me.

However, when we stepped into this house, Jin Jiuer and I both stopped, and a chill ran down my spine.

The whole room is filled with dozens of colorful paper figures, large and small!

The faces of these paper figures are blank, only one paper figure has a face.

It was this paper man with a face that shocked me. The paper man was lifelike and extremely lifelike. He looked like an old lady. I had seen this old lady before. She was the one who just passed by me. old lady.

"Isn't it old? Wait a moment, I'll finish what I'm doing first." The young man named Jiang said to me, and then he sat on the only chair in the room and continued to use paintbrushes and scissors. Let’s make this paper man with a face.

Jin Jiuer's body unconsciously leaned toward me. I glanced at her and found that her eyes were full of panic.

I rarely see Jin Jiuer acting like a little girl. When I faced Yan Zilong who was possessed by a snake fairy, Liu Siyun who gave birth to a snake baby, and even the weirdness in the village all day yesterday, I didn't notice it from Jin Jiuer. I felt such strong fear in my body.

I originally wanted to stay away from Jin Jiu'er, but she almost stuck to my side, but seeing her weak appearance, I couldn't bear it, so I didn't move.

After waiting for almost ten minutes, the young man seemed to have finished what he was doing. He stood up and looked at Jin Jiuer.

Jin Jiuer shrank again, as if he didn't dare to look at the boy, and shrank towards me again.

I don't know why Jin Jiu'er is so afraid of the boy in front of me, but men are very protective. I took a step forward, stood in front of Jin Jiu'er, and looked at the boy with a smile.

The young man took a deep look at Jin Jiu'er, then glanced at me again, and then he put the paper figure he had just finished aside.

He took out a towel and rubbed his hands, and said softly: "Ten years, ten years have passed."

My heart was shocked. Others could not understand what the young man said, but I could understand it. Back then, my uncle said that my parents gave me their lives in exchange for ten years of peace. Could it be that the ten years that the young man was referring to were these ten years. ?

"Uncle Daoyan asked you to come, right?" the young man continued.

But his words made me widen my eyes.

Master Daoyan?He calls my uncle his uncle?So who is his master?
"You...who are you!" I was a little excited because a guess came to my mind!
"Who am I? Chen Nian, I am your father's only apprentice!"
