Chapter 132 Changes
But what should have been smooth sailing here was strangely followed by unexpected twists and turns.
On this day, Du Bai had just returned from Waichen and saw Su Wanmiao sitting in the hall with her brows frowning. There was an old manager and two timid young men in front of him who seemed to be reporting something.
He didn't think so at first. After all, this kind of thing is not uncommon. It's just that something went wrong in business. Su Wanmiao's skills trained were enough to perfectly deal with these accidents.
But when he heard the words "haunted" and "make trouble", his expression moved, subconsciously slowed down, changed direction, and turned toward the hall.
"Mr...."
Su Wanmiao was frowning and thinking about something, looking heavy-hearted. When she heard the footsteps and looked up at the visitor, she couldn't help but smile with a relaxed smile on her face. She noticed the sweat beads on his forehead, and looked a little curious, "Are you going out for a run again?"
"Yes, exercise."
Du Bai knew that the other party was very unaware of his fitness style, including many modern and simple fitness props he commissioned to create a blacksmith a few days ago, and it was difficult to understand why a scholar who was studying should do what a martial arts master had to do. So she did not let her continue to focus on this, but instead asked for it.
"Just just now, I heard you talk about haunted things outside. Is it the Liu family's business?"
Logically speaking, although the Liu family’s haunted incident is very famous, it gradually subsided after four or five days. What else is going on now?
He was curious.
“That’s not.”
Su Wanmiao shook her head slightly, looking strange, "This is what happened in our kiln factory. Manager Lu, please listen to it."
"Sujia Kiln Factory?"
Du Bai was stunned and turned to look at the manager Lu.
After bowing slightly, the old manager sighed and said, "This matter will start from the night a few days ago..."
After the other party told him, Du Bai probably understood what happened.
The production process of porcelain cannot be completed immediately. Whether it is pulling the blank or firing it, it takes a lot of effort, and it can be done every day and night. It requires great caution and must not make any mistakes, otherwise it will get a waste.
Even the old craftsmen in the kiln factory have made a batch of porcelains that are truly qualified and can be sold after they are released. This is a job that requires patience and skill.
However, just a few nights ago, the workers put a batch of newly made blanks on the rack and hung them, intending to wait for tomorrow to burn them. But when everyone went to see them the next day, they were shocked and angry and found that the blanks seemed to have been maliciously damaged. Not only did the racks fall to the ground, but the blanks also became extremely rotten and could not be burned any longer!
"It must be someone who is deliberately making trouble! Isn't this delaying our day's construction period? Let the young lady know, no one can escape!"
When Manager Lu heard about this, he was immediately furious and sent someone to catch the unlucky guy who was in charge of guarding the shelves, intending to ask if he had an affair with an outsider and deliberately destroyed it.
But from a distance, I heard the aggrieved shouting about the janitor's grievance. I pulled him over and asked carefully and realized that he had been gambling with his coworkers all night last night. He sat at the closed door all night, and no one had ever been in and out!
But early the next morning, when he opened the door, he was confused and noticed the miserable situation. He was so scared that his face was pale and hurried to find someone to report the situation.
Manager Lu just thought he was making excuses. After all, there were no secret passages there, and outsiders only entered and exited the gate at most. How could someone come in and out? He didn't know that he had taken advantage of others to make such a quibble!
But after verifying the matter, Manager Lu was shocked to find that this guy was not lying! Because there were several workers who bet on dice that night, which means that several people could confirm that no one had entered or exited the house that specialized in storing blanks that night.
"This is really a ghost!"
Manager Lu felt something was wrong. Seeing that the blanks were made today and waiting for drying, he specially ordered a few more people to go to the door to prevent anyone from sneaking in and making trouble.
But what really scared everyone was that no matter how many people sat at the door or even patrolled the house with torches all night to ensure that even a bird would not fly in. But when people went in and looked in the next morning, they found that the shelf had been kicked over again and the blanks were ruined...
On the third day, Manager Lu finally couldn't sit still. He sent his nephew Lu Santong and another young and strong man to secretly lurk in the house, intending to see who was causing trouble!
Manager Lu hesitated for a moment when he said this, signaling the young man behind him to come forward and tell him what he happened again.
"That night, my friend and I hid in the cabinet, secretly looking at the scene in the room through the crack in the door, holding a wooden stick in my hand, thinking that if we saw the evil thief, we would definitely beat him up!"
"Time flies very quickly, and until midnight, there is no movement. My friends and I think the thief dare not come this time, so we were confused and wanted to doze off. But who knew..."
Lu Santong did not dare to hide in front of the two masters. He told him everything, but he could vaguely see the fear and fear in his face. Obviously, the experience of that night left him with an unforgettable impression. His legs were still trembling slightly when he told him.
...
"It seems that the thief dare not come!"
My friend looked at the room through the gap. The dim candlelight was still shaking slightly. There was nothing else in the room except the wooden shelves and those blanks. It was very quiet. The two of them could even hear each other's breathing.
"That's a bargain!" Lu Santong hummed viciously and raised the wooden stick in his hand slightly. "If he dares to come again, I will call him the stick method of killing those evil dogs on weekdays!"
He slowly put down the stick and then yawned. "It's so late, I'm a little sleepy. Doze off first, please watch for me!"
The friend nodded, and he leaned against the wooden board to doze. Although he was a little lazy, there were no outsiders here.
But who knew that at this moment, a strange sound came from the room, which quickly woke him up.
"Dong", "Dong", "Dong"...
It was like a slightly heavy sound of footsteps, walking slowly around the room, and you could vaguely feel that the person walking must be very bulky, so that his footsteps were so dull...
