Chapter 2992
He needed to confirm whether the carpenter's matter was true or not. From what Lu Xingzhi thought, in the early days, such a big family would usually build a place like a dungeon privately, and more likely, there was an underground passage as an escape door.
Because Emerald City occupies a large area, it is naturally impossible to build it in a place with a lot of people in the village. When Lu Xingzhi walked to a place where there were people in the village, he had to walk for fifteen minutes to find someone.
Under a jujube tree in front of a mud house, an old man was sitting on the ground smoking an old-fashioned dry tobacco. After Lu Xingzhi approached, he realized that the old man's eyes were invisible.
"Master, let me ask you something." Lu Xingzhi walked towards the uncle and said in a low voice, "May I ask where the carpenter who has the blueprint of Cuicheng lives in your village?"
The old man's face turned towards Lu Xingzhi in the direction of the voice, he opened his mouth and spit out a puff of smoke, and then he muttered, "Why do people keep asking about that Cuicheng recently? It's very evil there. , Back to Cuicheng, people in our village are called ghost houses, and the children in our village dare not enter, but you outsiders keep running in."
Lu Xingzhi guessed that it might be someone from the army who came to ask about it last time, and maybe he just happened to ask this old man, after all, this is the first family he saw after entering the village.
"Come here to do some research." Lu Xingzhi didn't say that he was a soldier, but made an excuse casually.
"Oh." The old man nodded slowly, and then said, "Are you looking for that carpenter? He lives a dozen meters away from me. There are two houses next to each other, and one of them is Carpenter Chen. house, the other one is vacant, and they made a fortune digging coal in the early years, and moved to the county town to live in a good house.”
After thinking for a while, the old man suddenly said, "By the way, Lao Chen should not be at home recently. I haven't seen him for several days. I wanted to ask him to make a chair that day. I went up to ask him. Their family Xiaopeng said that he Dad went to the next county to go to work, and I don’t know who introduced him to go so far, but I heard Xiaopeng said that it’s far more profitable, and Xiaopeng’s age is not too young, I guess Xiaopeng’s dad is starting to worry about saving money for Xiaopeng Money for marrying a wife."
"Then you said Xiaopeng is at home, right?" Lu Xingzhi asked.
"I haven't traveled far, but I'm at home. He didn't graduate from junior high school. He started to learn crafts from his father when he was twelve or thirteen years old. He is a young man with a lot of brains. People in the village say that the furniture he makes is more fashionable than his father's. Peng has also studied for more than ten years. He can run faster than his father. Sometimes he would go to a big shopping mall to see what kind of furniture they sell. A few days ago, I heard that he planned to go out of the province to learn again. He was high-spirited and said that after he learned the skills, he would go to the county town to open a furniture store instead of doing it in the village."
"I see, thank you." Lu Xingzhi thanked him. The old man was probably alone, so he was always a bit nagging. If Lu Xingzhi asked, he could talk for a long time.
Like most idle old people in the village, he always likes to talk about the long and short stories of this family and that family.
After hearing what he wanted to hear, Lu Xingzhi bid farewell to the old man and continued walking forward. Just like the old man said, he could see two houses next to each other within a short distance. In one yard, clothes were drying, and in the other The doors and windows of the house were closed, and it seemed that no one lived there.
