Chapter 52 Qingshi Town (8)

The carpenter turned back to look at her, not really wanting to tell her something.

Jiang Qi smiled, took out a pocket watch and handed it to the carpenter. He also took out the pen and paper he had borrowed from the housekeeper earlier.
"My home is at No. 6 Dongchang Street in the provincial capital. If you want to go to the provincial capital to develop, you can take this pocket watch to my house. I dare not say anything else. I will definitely help you settle in. The school on Dongchang Street is in the provincial capital. The reputation is pretty good.”

Jiang Qi took the heavy money bag from Fang Yuan's hand and said, "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else. If it weren't for your help today, the Xie family might not be able to seal the coffin so easily. I just want to help the Xie family." Brother, I would like to express my gratitude to you. There were so many people there just now that it was not convenient to talk."

Jiang Qi's words hit the heart of the carpenter master. Money is small, and it is not easy to bring a family to settle down in the provincial capital in this era.

The master carpenter sighed and took the money bag from Jiang Qi, expressing his willingness to accept her favor.

"Carry it." Jiang Qi waved to Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan was stunned, no one had ever bent over to do this for him at all his age!
Thinking so, Lao Shi turned around and used his back to write a letter to Jiang Qi, which was quite consistent.

"Don't move." Jiang Qi said calmly, holding the pen.

Fang Yuan said feebly, "Are you okay?"

"Okay." Jiang Qi folded the letter paper, put it in an envelope, and handed it to the carpenter.

The master carpenter looked at the two of them and smiled helplessly, "I have taken a big advantage. Miss Jiang Qi, you are half a Qingshi Town person. I will tell you what I can tell you. Don't tell me what I can't. Ask, if I talk too much, I won’t be able to leave myself.”

Jiang Qi nodded, "I understand."

"You can ask whatever you want." The carpenter looked at them deeply.

Jiang Qi: "Why is the last nail made of peach wood? My cousin passed away peacefully, how could it cause harm?"

The master carpenter shook his head, "Peach wood nails are used to suppress evil spirits. If you hear any noise tonight and feel something is wrong, leave immediately, especially the young master of the Xie family, who is also your cousin. If Mr. Xie can be buried smoothly tomorrow , just ask the young master of the Xie family to send his family away quickly and go to the provincial capital with you, and maybe you can escape."

The master carpenter sighed again, with a particularly heavy tone, "Those people in Qingshi Town have to repay their debts, and the Xie family has to repay the debts of their predecessors. The grievances are too heavy and cannot be suppressed. It will be difficult this time."
I give you this ax and the remaining ink-tow thread. I can't help with anything else. "

"Do you have anything to say about the river in the east of the town? I met an old man there yesterday and he said not to go near it at night."

"He's right, that river is full of gloom." The carpenter seemed to have thought of something, and said quietly, "People die every year, which is pitiful."

After saying that, the master carpenter put his hands behind his back and walked into the distance along the wet bluestone path.

Fine strands of rain fell from the gray clouds, casting a haze over the quiet town.

[Get the item 'Axe', get the item 'Ink Fountain'

——The tools used by carpenters to seal coffins have been used to ward off ghosts and evil spirits in ancient times. 】

Jiang Qi looked at the two things in his hands and handed the easy-to-use ax to Fang Yuan, "Take this."

After saying that, she looked up and saw Xie Chaoci, who had taken off his mourning clothes and was standing not far away, looking at her and arching his eyebrows, "You borrowed my pen."

Jiang Qi spoke softly, "This is obviously Xie An's."

It has nothing to do with you Xie Chaoci.
