C6 Mountain Moving Craftsman
After measuring Old Master Bai's size, my father first looked at me in surprise! Then, he didn't say anything. He just put the piece of paper with the measurements on it in a brazier and started burning it.
As the piece of paper was placed in the brazier, the flame that was on the verge of extinguishing instantly started to burn fiercely! The raging flames made the faces of the people from Bai family change drastically!
At this time, my father said to Bai Laoqi, "This matter has been resolved! We don't need to stay here any longer! You just need to bury your father properly, and he won't come looking for you again!"
After saying that, he led me and my uncle out.
This time, I was not blocked back like I was just now. Instead, I walked out of the Bai family's gate without any obstruction.
After returning home, my dad told Grandfather Bai about the autopsy. Then, he did not forget to add, "When Fann was measuring the corpse, I was standing beside him and watching him. The measurements were exactly the same! This made me feel that it was unbelievable!"
Hearing my father's words, Grandfather could not help but feel extremely excited! In his words, he said that I was arranged to be in this family by the heavens. In other words, there was a successor for our Chen Family Corpse Measuring Man!
However, that night, I had a high fever!
Moreover, it was more than 40 degrees! My skin was all red!
Not only that, I was unconscious while I was burning. At the same time, I was talking nonsense.
Moreover, my voice was very soft! If you didn’t listen carefully, you wouldn’t be able to hear what I was talking about!
So, my dad couldn’t help but lie next to my mouth and wanted to hear what I was talking about.
However, when he heard what I was talking about, his face changed!
Grandpa and the others saw that my dad’s face wasn’t good, so they asked my dad what I was talking about. However, my dad didn’t tell them anything.
Until now, I don’t know what my dad heard that night! He never mentioned anything about what happened that night.
In the end, when we asked him again, he told us that I came up from the bottom! No one understood what he meant.
Seeing me like this, my dad and grandpa were very worried! So, they took me to the clinic in the village that night.
Because I was the only child in the family, the family took me very seriously!
That night, on the way to the clinic, Uncle ran in front of us and opened the way for us. My dad carried me on his back and followed behind. Grandpa followed my dad and kept observing my condition.
As for the three women, they stayed at home to guard the base camp!
After coming to the clinic, the doctor checked me first.
At that time, I was already at forty-four degrees.
Under such circumstances, the doctor didn’t dare to delay and quickly gave me a fever relief solution.
I thought it would be better this way! However, the result was completely opposite!
As soon as the needle was inserted into my body, it would immediately start to bleed. The speed was very fast! Not long after, not a single drop of medicine was injected into my body. Instead, the whole bottle of medicine turned blood red! The doctor was so scared that he didn’t dare to treat me anymore! He just kept urging my dad to take me to a big hospital in the city!
After seeing that the doctor was helpless, my dad could only take me home.
We didn’t go to the hospital in the city at all.
Because my body was covered with white hair. If I went there, I would only become the subject of their research! That would only be worse than death! Plus, it was a long journey, and I couldn’t bear the torment at that time!
That high fever lasted for seven days and seven nights! During those seven days and seven nights, I didn’t drink a single drop of water.
The people at home were already mentally prepared!
However, on the eighth day, my body started to change again!
On the morning of the eighth day, the first ray of sunlight shone on my body. The white hair that was growing on my body started to fall off!
When the last strand of white hair fell off, the fever on my body also started to subside! I woke up and jumped off the bed! I was back to normal!
However, after the white hair fell off, something even more shocking appeared on my back!
It was an eye!
To be precise, it was a birthmark that looked like an eye!
The birthmark was exactly on the center of my back!
The color of the birthmark was a little darker than the normal color of my skin! The eye-like part was the most eye-catching part! It was a blood-red birthmark! It was so red that it looked like it was going to bleed!
The people in the house were all shocked when they saw the birthmark!
My dad saw the birthmark on my body and quickly found a piece of red cloth to cover the birthmark. He also fixed it with a piece of gauze! He didn’t forget to remind me that no matter what happened, I couldn’t open the red cloth!
Although I didn’t know what the birthmark was, I still followed my dad’s instructions and didn’t touch the red cloth! I slowly forgot about the birthmark!
However, it was also because of this matter that my dad would never allow me to come into contact with the Corpse Measuring Man.
In his opinion, my physique was too special! Furthermore, after experiencing what happened to Bai Laoqi and the others, I had a serious illness when I returned home. My dad was determined to change my profession!
Therefore, he sent me to school, hoping that I could do well.
At that time, if a university student appeared in the small mountain village, it would undoubtedly be like a golden phoenix flying out of a chicken's nest! It was something that was worth being proud of!
Therefore, my dad wanted me to try!
However, I was not able to focus on my studies. However, I was very interested in the Corpse Measuring Man and the supernatural events in the village. Furthermore, I was not afraid! As long as I heard people talk about these things, I would unconsciously gather around and listen carefully.
It was also because of this that my grades were not very good. When I participated in the college entrance examination, I was successfully eliminated!
Therefore, I began to live a carefree life at home!
Seeing this situation, my dad felt a headache coming on!
Therefore, he asked for a job for me.
Grandfather, on more than one occasion, said to my dad, "Our family is originally a craftsman! Why don't we do the things in our family and instead learn things from others? Isn't this the same as growing other people's ambitions and destroying our own prestige?"
However, my father explained to my grandfather that due to my special constitution, he didn't want me to deal with the dead. He didn't want me to get into trouble! That's why he kept looking for jobs for me.
However, at that time, most of the families in the countryside were still farming, and there were very few craftsmen.
Therefore, after my father looked around, he found a Mountain Moving Craftsman called Wang Sicheng in our village!
The so-called Mountain Moving Craftsman was actually a person who sold stones on the mountain and came down to sell them!
However, this was also a profitable business!
Therefore, my father set up a table of food at home and invited Wang Sicheng back home to treat him well.
This Wang Sicheng had been doing business all year round, so he naturally knew what it meant to not receive any reward for his work!
Therefore, after drinking three rounds of wine, he asked my father, "Second Brother Chen, tell me the truth. Why did you ask me to come here this time? With our friendship, if there really is something that I can help with, just tell me! As long as it's something that we can help with, we will definitely help!"
Hearing Wang Sicheng's words, my father stopped beating around the bush and told him about my situation. He also hoped that he could take me as his disciple!
After hearing my father's words, Wang Sicheng frowned and started to think.
My dad didn't urge him either. He just sat opposite him and quietly waited for his answer.
After a long time, Wang Sicheng slowly said to my dad, "Second Brother Chen, this matter is actually not that big of a deal. However, you should know that our Mountain Moving Craftsman works all day long on the mountain. So, we will often encounter some dirty things! Is it really okay to let Fann follow me?"
Hearing Wang Sicheng's words, my dad hesitated for a moment. However, it didn't take long before he seemed to have made up his mind! He said to Wang Sicheng, "Brother Wang, I will have to ask you to do this. He will definitely be much better than me if he follows you!"
Seeing that my dad had already decided, Wang Sicheng could only nod and agree.
Since the two of them drank wine that day, there was no action taken.
On the second day, Wang Sicheng brought me to the bottom of a large mountain. Then, he made me kneel on the ground and kowtow to the mountain.
The so-called Mountain Moving Craftsman did not worship the heavens or the earth. He only worshipped the three mountains and five peaks! In addition, he also told me that the ancestor of the Mountain Moving Craftsman was the Fool! He also told me some taboos about the Mountain Moving Craftsman.
And so, I started to follow Wang Sicheng and became a Mountain Moving Craftsman!
At the beginning, nothing happened. We only used explosives to blast stones from the mountain every day. Then, we went down the mountain to deliver the goods to the customers.
Until one day, something happened when they were bombarding a rock! And it was a serious matter! There were even a few deaths! Even I was implicated!
That day, we followed the orders of the employer and came to the mountain to bomb the rock. Because we had just received the order, we didn't know what to do. Therefore, Wang Sicheng drank quite a bit of wine when he was at home! He was staggering as he walked.
We first walked around the mountain. This was called patrolling the mountain! We wanted to see if the rocks on the mountain would not cause the mountain to collapse after being bombed!
Soon, Wang Sicheng had a good look at a place. However, what was lacking was that there was a small hole under that place!
At that time, there were all kinds of things on the mountain. There were even more things like foxes and weasels!
More importantly, these things were full of spirituality. Normal people didn't dare to offend them! Once they accidentally offended them, it would definitely be a situation where they would not stop until one of them died!
Now, the hole in this place was obviously the cave of those things!
Seeing this situation, someone suggested that they should change the location. It was best not to provoke them!
However, Wang Sicheng was drunk today and was stubborn. He didn't take other people's words to heart! No matter what, he had to bomb the rock today!
Although there were a total of seven people in our group, Wang Sicheng was the leader. Therefore, we had to listen to what he said!
Wang Sicheng looked at the reluctant faces of his subordinates and immediately became angry.
While pretending to be a bomb, he scolded, "Aren't you afraid of those things? Fine! I'll bury the explosives in that thing's cave! I'll see what troublesome things will happen! I'll blow them up!"
If not, why would it be said that it was difficult to persuade a damned ghost? If Wang Sicheng didn't do this, there wouldn't be any more trouble!
