Chapter 341 Wrong person?
Xu Zhenfeng and the others didn't have to bother to find out.
When the waiter in the restaurant heard Xu Zhenfeng say that he wanted to find a funeral clerk named Qiu in Fengdu City, he immediately clapped his hands and said:
"I know this person, Brother Qiu. Everyone in Fengdu City knows him. He is a good person."
After saying this, the guy looked at Xu Zhenfeng and Lang Ning in confusion, then looked at the little kid next to them who had soup all over his face after eating and was drinking.
I thought to myself that these people were not here to cause trouble for Brother Qiu. How could they come here to cause trouble, and bring a tiny child with them?
The waiter then told him everything: "Brother Qiu has been in our Fengdu City for more than 20 years, and has been doing funerals for people. He is a very disciplined person and only does funerals, never weddings.
When he met people from poor families, he would not charge them any money but would just help them out of his own pocket and could run the funeral very smoothly.
Sometimes when he saw a corpse lying on the road, an unknown person dead, with no one to collect the body, he would pay out of his own pocket to buy a coffin for the person and take care of the funeral arrangements.”
At this point, the clerk said with a sigh, “Speaking of which, Brother Qiu has made a lot of money over the years, but he has also spent it all.
Sir, do you think there are no beggars and old people in our Fengdu City? Let me tell you, originally, there were at least 500 such people in our Fengdu City, if not a thousand.
Since Brother Qiu came to our Fengdu City, these people have been supported by Brother Qiu himself with money."
As the waiter spoke, he glanced at the wine glass in Huangjingwawa's hand, swallowed his saliva, and chuckled twice.
Xu Zhenfeng also chuckled and pulled him to sit next to him.
He ordered two more jugs of wine, poured a glass for the waiter, and clinked glasses with him.
After watching the guy greedily drink the wine in his glass in one gulp, he said with a smile: "These drinks are ordered for you. Come on, brother, tell me in detail about this matter of Brother Qiu."
Huang Jingwawa is a food-protecting person. He had just finished a glass of wine when he heard Xu Zhenfeng say that the two jugs of wine just ordered on the table were for that waiter.
He immediately became angry and was about to explode. Lang Ning, who was standing by, quickly hugged him in his arms, called for a few more bottles of wine, and comforted him:
"Okay, okay, my Huang Jing can drink whatever he wants. With Fifth Aunt here, are you still afraid that he will drink up all the wine in the restaurant?"
After hearing what Lang Ning said, Huang Jing stole a glance and saw that Xu Zhenfeng didn't react, so he stopped worrying about the two pots of wine.
After the guy finished his glass, he poured himself another one without waiting for Xu Zhenfeng to fill it up. Under Huang Jingwa's contemptuous eyes, he drank it down by himself and said:
"Speaking of Brother Qiu, there is no one in Fengdu City who does not obey him.
Let me tell you about those days. I was still a kid less than ten years old. Brother Qiu came to Fengdu City with his sister and his mother, with nothing.
They were really naked and hungry, and the whole family didn't even have a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
It was Liu, the owner of a grain shop in the east of the city, who felt sorry for him and gave them his own firewood shed as a temporary shelter.
Later, Brother Qiu solved the haunted house of Mr. Chen in Wuyi Lane one after another.
There was also the incident where the silver in our Fengdu County Magistrate's Mansion was stolen by the Five Ghosts.
In addition, the old man of the Ma family, the richest man in Fengdu, died with his eyes open and repeatedly resurrected himself and returned home from the cemetery.
Brother Qiu's reputation became famous overnight, and since then, our entire Fengdu.
No matter which family has a funeral, Brother Qiu must be asked to handle it personally.
Even if Brother Qiu is too busy to come, we will still have to ask him to choose a suitable day.
The victim's family would rather keep the body at home and wait for Brother Qiu to be free before they can handle their funeral affairs."
The waiter drank another glass and filled it up for himself before he continued:
“It’s strange to say, but our Fengdu City is well-known for its evil nature throughout the Great Shu Kingdom.
Before Brother Qiu came, all kinds of supernatural things happened frequently in and around the city.
Ever since Brother Qiu started handling all the funerals in Fengdu City, there have been no more such things that make people sweat just thinking about them."
The more Xu Zhenfeng heard about Qiu Tianhen's story, the more interested he became.
After seeing the waiter had another drink, he directly added money, asked for a private room, and invited the waiter to go in to the private room to drink and talk.
The restaurant owner was originally unhappy that a waiter was tied up by a table of customers and couldn't do his work.
After seeing Xu Zhenfeng pay extra for a private room and order a lot of expensive dishes, he turned a blind eye.
It was rare for the waiter to meet a customer like Xu Zhenfeng who loved to listen to stories and was willing to pay, so he was secretly happy. While drinking, he talked about what happened after Qiu Tianhen came to Fengdu City.
In his words, Qiu Tianhen, whose entire tribe was nearly exterminated by human monks, is simply a saint.
A perfect person who is full of shining points and has no flaws at all.
After he came, under his influence, even thefts and robberies in the entire Fengdu city became less common.
Xu Zhenfeng's hair almost stood up when he heard this. Are there really such good people in this world?
Not only did this waiter say this, but even the other waiters who were delivering dishes to the private room heard his words and echoed him, recounting several compassionate things that Brother Qiu had done.
After the waiter had told everything he knew and had finished eating and drinking all the food and wine on the table.
Xu Zhenfeng then paid the bill and walked out of the restaurant with Lang Ning and the drunk Huang Jingwawa in his arms.
Having learned Qiu Tianhen's residence from the waiter, they slowly walked towards Qiu Tianhen's home.
It took less than an hour to walk from the west to the north of the city, and Huangjingwawa sobered up.
He woke up in Xu Zhenfeng's arms, rubbed his eyes and asked confusedly: "Dad, where are we?"
Xu Zhenfeng glanced at him unhappily, "Fengdu City, now we are at Qiu Tianhen's house."
Lang Ning had been scolded by Xu Zhen for a long time, saying that she indulged Huang Jing in alcoholism.
He didn't dare to say anything at this time, and quickly took the Huangjing doll who had sobered up.
"Be good, Fifth Aunt will hold you. When we get to Qiu Tianhen's house, you must be alert. If anything goes wrong, run away first."
Huang Jingwa laughed out loud after hearing what Lang Ning said.
"Fifth Aunt, we Huang Jing dare not say anything else, but when it comes to escaping, if we Huang Jing are second to none in this world, no one dares to say they are first."
After saying this, he struggled to jump out of Lang Ning's arms and onto the ground. When he stepped on the ground, Huang Jingwawa felt much more confident.
As they were talking, the three demons had already arrived at an alley in the northern part of Fengdu City.
After walking about ten feet into the alley, they arrived at the gate of a house with a red-painted wooden door.
Lang Ning stepped forward and rang the copper ring on the wooden door.
After a while, footsteps were heard in the yard, and the gate opened. A tall and slender woman opened the gate.
Looking at Xu Zhenfeng and Lang Ning standing outside, Huang Jingwawa asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Excuse me, who are you looking for?"
Xu Zhenfeng raised his eyes and saw that the woman had beautiful eyebrows and eyes like ink. Although she had a slender figure, she seemed too thin compared to Lang Ning's strong figure.
But the spirit revealed on her face was very clean and bright, giving people a feeling of peace and tranquility.
"My name is Xu Lang. I have come all the way from Jinguan City. I want to see Brother Qiu Tianhen for something important. I wonder if Brother Qiu is at home?"
When the woman heard Xu Zhenfeng say that he came all the way from Jinguan City, her delicate willow-shaped eyebrows frowned slightly.
"I wonder why Mr. Xu is looking for my brother? Can you tell me something?"
The woman did not say whether her brother was at home, but asked a question in return.
Xu Zhenfeng hesitated for a moment and then said frankly: "I came here to ask Brother Qiu to heal the wounds of a ghost."
As soon as he finished speaking, the woman stepped back and closed the door.
An angry voice came through the door.
"My brother doesn't know how to treat any ghosts or living things. You've found the wrong person."
When Lang Ning saw that the woman closed the door and refused to see the guests without saying anything, he felt angry.
She moved and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Then the woman's panicked cry was heard in the yard.
Xu Zhenfeng failed to stop Lang Ning and hurriedly flashed into the yard.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Huangjingwawa immediately escaped underground and entered the yard.
Lang Ning grabbed the screaming woman with one hand and was about to cover her mouth with the other hand.
Xu Zhenfeng quickly stepped forward to stop Lang Ning and asked her to let go of the woman.
The woman then stopped screaming and retreated back into the main room.
At this time, a man in his forties hurriedly ran out from the main house.
The man looked somewhat similar to the woman, but he was much taller than the woman.
I saw three strangers, two adults and one child, suddenly breaking into my yard.
The man shouted with anger in his eyes: "Who dares to break into a private house? Aren't you afraid that I will gather the neighbors and send you to the government for punishment?"
Xu Zhenfeng immediately clasped his fists and apologized, "I am Xu Lang, and I have come all the way from Jinguan City to Fengdu City to ask Brother Qiu to help save a ghost.
I said something inappropriate at that moment, which made your sister unhappy. My elder sister is hot-tempered and wanted to explain things to your sister, so she rushed in.
This is because my sister and I acted inappropriately, please forgive me, Brother Qiu."
After saying this, he took out the gift he brought from the space magic weapon and presented it with both hands.
The man was Qiu Tianhen. Like his sister, he frowned when he heard Xu Zhenfeng say that he wanted him to rescue a ghost.
"Your Excellency has found the wrong person. I am Qiu Tianhen, and I make a living as a funeral clerk in Fengdu City.
I don't know how to cure ghosts and monsters, so please take your sister and this young man away quickly and don't disturb my sick mother at home."
