He needed to confirm whether the carpenter's story was true or not. Lu Xingzhi speculated that in the early days, rich families like this would usually build a place like a dungeon or perhaps an underground passage as an escape route.
Since Emerald City occupied a large area, it was naturally impossible for it to be built in a place with a lot of people. When Lu Xingzhi walked to a place with people in the village, it took him a full 15 minutes to find someone.
In front of a mud house, under a date tree, an old man sat on the ground and smoked an old-fashioned tobacco pipe. When Lu Xingzhi got closer, he realized that the old man could not see.
"Sir, I have something to ask you." Lu Xingzhi walked towards the old man and whispered, "May I ask where the carpenter in your village who has the blueprint for Emerald City lives?"
The old man's face followed the direction of the voice and turned towards Lu Xingzhi. He opened his mouth and blew out a puff of smoke. Then he muttered, "Why do people keep asking about Emerald City recently? Emerald City is very creepy. In our village, it's called a haunted house. The children in our village don't even dare to enter, but you outsiders keep coming in. "
Lu Xingzhi guessed that the person from the army who came to ask about it previously might have coincidentally asked about this old man. After all, this was the first house he saw in the village.
"I'm here to do some research." Lu Xingzhi did not mention that he was a soldier. Instead, he casually found an excuse.
"Oh." The old man nodded slowly and said, "Are you looking for that carpenter? He lives about 10 meters away from here. There are two houses next to each other. One of them is occupied by Carpenter Chen. The other house is empty. He made a fortune from mining coal in his early years and moved to the county to live in a better house. "
I haven't seen him in a few days. That day, I wanted to ask him to make a chair, so I went to ask. Little Peng said that his father had gone to the county next door to work. I don't know who introduced him to such a far place, but I heard from Little Peng that it's easier to earn money. Little Peng isn't young anymore, so I'm guessing that Little Peng's father is starting to rush to save money for Little Peng to get married. "
"Then this Little Peng you're talking about is at home, right?" Lu Xingzhi asked. "He's not at home.
He didn't graduate from junior high school and started learning craftsmanship from his father when he was 12 or 13 years old. Young people have a lively mind. Everyone in the village says that the furniture he makes is more fashionable than his father's. Little Peng has been learning craftsmanship for more than 10 years. He's better at running than his father. Sometimes, he would run to the big shopping malls to see what kind of furniture they sell.
"I understand. Thank you." Lu Xingzhi thanked him. The old man was probably alone, so he was a little naggy. Every time Lu Xingzhi asked a question, he would talk for a long time.
Like most of the elders in the village who had nothing to do, he liked to talk about the family's affairs.
