After Being Kicked Out of a Wealthy Family, She Became a Fake Daughter and Shocked the World

Chapter 105 105. Ghost Street Cobbler

 After lunch, Lin Wu went back to deal with some chores and was ready to go out at 4:30 in the afternoon.

Bo Yuting and Lu Guichi both wanted to go with them. Lin Wu originally wanted to refuse, but after thinking carefully that it wouldn't be too late for them to follow, he agreed.

 The ghost street is actually not in Beijing, but in the suburbs of Beijing.

The three of them drove for more than two hours and stopped at the entrance of a deserted trail in front of a mountainous area in the suburbs. There were many cars parked around.

 The three of them opened the car door and got out of the car, then headed towards the path on the left.

Lu Guichi clicked his tongue and said, "It's been so long since I've been here. I didn't expect that the ghost street is still in a place like this. If outsiders saw this, they might think they encountered a ghost."

Lin Wu instantly realized the flaw in his words, turned to look at him and asked, "Have you ever been to the Ghost Street? How do I remember that your brother Lu Guiyan strictly prohibited you from going?"

"Uh..." Lu Guichi laughed dryly, "What, I do some business occasionally, it's all a small business, don't tell my brother!"

Lin Wu suddenly looked at him with an expression of "I knew it was like this", then turned back and continued walking.

 At first, the surroundings were very quiet. After half an hour, there was light behind the hilltop not far away, and there was a vague noise.

The three of them quickened their pace and quickly went around. A suddenly clear road appeared in front of them, with an arched gate in the mountains and forests at the end.

There is a tattered sign directly above the door. When you get closer, you can see the words "Ghost Street" written on it. There are several people guarding the door.

 The three of them walked over with a look of silence.

Those people noticed them, and because they did not hide their faces, they recognized them at a glance. They immediately showed surprise and hurriedly came forward to say hello: "Master Ninth, Second Young Master Lu, and..."

They looked at Lin Wu and paused.

Bo Yuting and Lu Guichi are famous in Beijing, and it is difficult not to recognize them. But Lin Wu was wearing a big hat. When he lowered his head slightly, the brim of the hat almost covered most of his face. He was also dressed in black, so they really couldn't tell anything.

Lin Wu slowly raised his head and revealed his face.

The pupils of several people shrank: "It turns out that you are the apprentice of the second cobbler, Gu Hong. Please forgive our poor eyesight for not recognizing you just now."

Lin Wu raised his chin slightly and said, "I have something to do with my teacher, can't I come in now?"

"You can come in if you can! If you come, of course you can come in!" Several people quickly got out of the way.

Lin Wu and the others walked in. When they were far away, Bo Yuting turned to look at Lin Wu and said with a half-smile: "Gu Hong? Is he the one who became famous in the Ghost Street Casino, and then became famous one after another? Is this Gu Hong who has defeated several bookmakers in the casino and made his bets at sky-high prices, causing the underground casinos to simply stop taking business from them?"

Lin Wu raised his voice calmly.

Lu Guichi said, "I've heard that too. Is it you?!"

"Well, until I met the cobbler and lost to him, I rarely came here." Lin Wu said lightly.

At this time, they walked through a forest path, and dark lamp strips were tied to the trees on both sides of the road for lighting. When I walked to the front and walked around, I saw the official entrance of this place, which was also guarded.

 They encountered the same situation at the outside entrance in the past, and the other party respectfully took out the mask.

Wearing a mask is a tradition on the ghost street. It is designed to facilitate the transaction of goods and money. It is in line with the saying "once you leave, there is no need to pursue it." Neither the buyer nor the seller knows who the other party is, so if there is any problem or accident in the future , and can't find it on the other party.

 After all, most of the items that can be traded on Ghost Street are not obtained through normal channels.

Of course, for a person whose reputation is so great that people can recognize him at a glance, this mask is useless. It can only serve as a way to prevent people from tearing up their faces and pretend to be confused. After entering, there was a lot of noise from people hawking.

Not far away is an abandoned and dilapidated old building area. The lights are brightly lit at the moment, and there is a constant flow of people on each floor of the building.

In the large open space in front of the old building, there are many scattered vendors setting up stalls. A green lantern hangs in front of each stall, which is swaying. At a glance, they sell everything.

 They are the more normal ones among the guests who usually wear masks.

Recently, if they look closely, they will find that the other person's pupils are different, wearing seedlings, and there is an abnormal smell of smell.

The people passing by on the other side even had venomous snakes wrapped around their bodies, hissing and staring at passers-by.

There are not a few such strange people, they are bustling with people, and the inexplicable and strange light reflects on the dark sky, showing the ultimate weirdness.

The three of them walked forward without being surprised, passing through the crowd towards the building area in the distance, looking at the scattered stalls as they walked.

Some are selling all kinds of underworld utensils, some are selling unnamed talismans and paper money, and there are also unknown strange altars, and there are all kinds of movements inside, and I don’t know what kind of living creatures they are.

Not long after, the three of them arrived at the edge of the building area and stopped in front of a tailor shop with a red light hanging on the door and relatively little traffic.

The door of this store was ajar, and through the crack in the door, you could see that it was dark inside and there was no light, as if there was no one there.

If you look carefully, you will find that everyone passing by here gives a wide berth to this place.

“Did the person outside say something wrong? The second cobbler is not here?” Lu Guichi whispered.

Lin Wu shook his head: "He must be there."

“How can you be sure?” Lu Guichi asked curiously.

“Because every time I come, he seems to have predicted it in advance and has been waiting for me.” After Lin Wu said this, he stepped forward and opened the store door.

Lu Guichi looked at Boyu Ting, and when the other party nodded, he followed him.

 Pushing the door open and going in, the air inside was filled with the rotten smell of fabrics that had been piled up and moldy after not seeing sunlight all year round. It was also pitch black and nothing could be seen.

Lin Wu expertly groped for the base of one wall and pulled down the hanging electric light cord. A dazzling white light suddenly appeared, causing the three of them to unconsciously close their eyes for relief.

When he opened his eyes again, Lu Guichi let out a frightened scream, turned around suddenly, jumped on Bo Yuting and hugged him.

Because as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw an enlarged version of the face in front of him, with a pale and bluish complexion, and sunken eye sockets. The dark circles under the eyes due to not sleeping well for a long time were obvious, and the whole person was even thinner. It was as if the yang energy had been sucked away by a spirit.

Even Lin Wu's eyes twitched, "...Are you suffering from a terminal illness?"

"WOC? Is this the second cobbler??" Lu Guichi was shocked. He remembered that the second cobbler didn't look like this.

Bo Yuting came back to his senses, pulled off Lu Guichi with a dark face, and then looked at the person in front of him.

The other person actually looked young, probably in his early thirties, but Bo Yuting knew that the second cobbler was actually in his fifties or sixties.

A hoarse voice slowly sounded: "Everyone will change. Gu Hong, you haven't been here for so long, I have changed, why is it strange?"
