After hearing this from me, Qianbaili was still a little reluctant. I didn't say anything, but looked at him quietly and gave him time to consider.
Senior brothers used to say that this is what we do in this line of business. The price is determined by ourselves. Whether we can accept it or not depends on the master himself. The best way to negotiate, but not to negotiate, only shows that we are not destined for this matter. Of course, even if I did not talk to Qian Baili, I would not return the cigarette to him, because he did not accept my terms, not that I did not help him.
While Qianbaili was thinking about it, Qianxue came over and gave me an angry look. First, he said that I took advantage of the fire and robbed me, and I became lustful at a young age. Then he made me cheaper, saying that I was doing good deeds and solving the people’s sufferings. .
Although she is very beautiful, but in this matter, it does not mean that being beautiful can be cheaper, so I replied decisively with her four words: not cheap.
Next, no matter what Qianxue said, I didn't say a word and assumed a posture of not giving in. In the end, she couldn't help but sulking her mouth beside her.
After thinking about it for a long time, I said that money is not a problem, but I want to know how sure I am. At that time, I was stunned and had a fight for a long time. He saw that I was young and worried that I might not be able to handle it. I regretted that I didn't ask for a little more. Home.
However, I was quite satisfied with the five thousand dollars, so I said I could go home with him and try.
When I say this, it is the rules of our ghostsmiths. If things are not done, the gift must be returned. He didn't accept my condition at the end of giving the gift, and whether or not the gift was returned is two different things.
Of course, since I dared to say that, I was naturally somewhat measured. So, immediately I packed up the tools for work, and then went out of the coffin shop with Qian Baili.
At that time, there were no cars in the private sector, and a brand-new Flying Pigeon bicycle was riding for thousands of miles. The bicycle at that time was equivalent to the current top-level BMW car.
I need a bicycle to take me for thousands of miles. I said no. There are rules for being a ghostmaker. You can't walk with external forces. You must walk to the victim's house to show your sincerity and respect for your patriarch. Qian Baili said that his hometown is far away, and I said that I have to walk as far away as possible
Go unless you are not in the city.
Qianbaili couldn't help but told me that his home village was Liushucun, then he told me how to go, and then he took his niece Qianxue and left first.
The village of Liushu, my hometown for thousands of miles, is really far away. I walked for more than four hours before arriving. After that, the sky was completely dark, and a bright moon slowly rose, shed endless moonlight, and covered the ground. The shining brightly makes the whole village look like daylight.
I don't know why, but I felt a little uneasy, especially after Qianxue, who was standing at the entrance of the village to pick me up, pointed out the new house in Qianbaili, that feeling became stronger and stronger.
Seeing that I was stunned at the entrance of the village, Qianxue urged me not to be stunned and followed her into the village. Her uncle had been waiting for me for a long time.
Sometimes I really want to say that ignorance is also a kind of happiness. I looked at her and gave an hum, without saying much, I walked straight to Qianbaili's house.
When he came to Qianbaili’s house, he was a little excited, grabbed my hand, and said enthusiastically, Little Master, you have worked hard all the way, and you haven’t eaten yet. Come on, dinner is ready for you.
I nodded, and made another act of asking him for a red envelope. This is not because I am greedy for money, but because I asked him to start a red envelope, to show some color.
He was startled, and immediately understood what I meant, then, under Qianxue's glaring gaze, he handed me a red envelope. There are not many red envelopes. I squeezed it. It is estimated to be one hundred yuan. I nodded, said a few auspicious words, and followed him to the restaurant.
Don’t say it, the house of Qianbaili is very good, antique. My brother and I have been to many wealthy houses, but this is the first time in my life to enter such a beautiful house. It is inevitable that I glanced a few more times and found him. The house, on the whole, is not a problem.
Of course, what I said is okay, it's only the places where there is wood. As for other places, I don't have the ability to show him.
During the meal, Qianbaili's daughter-in-law, son, daughter and Qianxue were all there. As I was eating, I found the five-year-old son of Thousands of Miles, his eyes gazed to the west from time to time, and every time he glanced, his face became ugly. Even then, the kid still looks over there from time to time.
But because I was eating, I didn’t ask. After the meal, I asked Qian Baili to give his wife,
The daughter and Qianxue shouted away, leaving his son behind.
Knowing that I was about to do business, Qian Baili hurriedly told the people to go to another room, and I walked to his son and asked him why he always looked west when eating.
To say that the son of thousands of miles is worthy of the offspring of a businessman, he said gratifyingly, his father said, to ask others about things, you must first give a red envelope.
I was speechless at the time, so I looked at Qianbaili, and Qianbaili smiled bitterly at me and said that I was laughing, so I don't care. Then let his son quickly answer my question.
Qianbaili’s son was quite obedient. He told me that because there were four people playing mahjong over there, he took my hand and walked over there. When he reached a position near the west, he pointed and said, Just a little bit ahead, four people are playing mahjong.
When I asked him to talk about the specific location, he shook his head desperately, saying that he didn't dare to walk over and the four of them would beat him because they had beaten him before.
After saying this, Qian Baili's son's immature face showed a frightened expression, and the whole person began to tremble. I couldn't ask any more, so I asked Qian Baili to take his son out.
Then Qianbaili recovered, picked up his son, and went straight to the house next door. Soon, he ran back and stood next to me, asking me if I saw the problem with the house and where it was. .
I said that I could still see some problems for the time being. I remembered that Qianxue had moved out of the house after saying that Qianbaili was haunted in the morning. Looking at this posture, Qianbaili seems to be still living at home. I asked the doubts in my heart, and he explained to me that he usually stays at the next home for the night. Today, knowing that I am coming, he deliberately opened fire at home and asked me if this would work.
I said nothing, and continued to stare to the west. I found that there was an old-fashioned wooden window near the wall in the empty space. The wood carving on it was a pair of mandarin ducks, lifelike, with beautiful lines. , Without the slightest unevenness, it is simply a work of ingenuity.
In all honesty, although I am a carpenter, if I were to sculpt, I would never have this craftsmanship. It could even be said that I would not be able to do that kind of thing at all.
I subconsciously asked Qianbaili whether the wooden windows were carved by someone or they were bought ready-made.
