From the time travel, I became extraordinary

Chapter 5 Carpenter Xu

Mawan Village is about ten to twenty kilometers away from Jiang Yao.

He had heard of the village but had never been there before.

But for Jiang Yao, this is not a big deal at all.

After all, he has a mouth and a tongue, and it's not like he can't speak. As long as he knows the general direction of the village, he can ask someone if he can't find the place.

After telling Jiang Yao about Carpenter Xu, Tong Gang just sat for a while and then left.

But his trip was not in vain.

At a village store only two or three hundred meters away, Jiang Yao bought a pack of Golden Hibiscus cigarettes from the same series as Hibiscus King and put it in his pocket.

After all, the weather was so hot that the dogs stayed under the shade of the trees with their tongues sticking out and were unwilling to move.

Tong Gang's home was several kilometers away from here. He rode his bicycle under the scorching sun to tell me about Carpenter Xu. This was a huge favor.

Jiang Yao and he have a friendship, but since the other party has taken the trouble to help him, he would feel guilty if he didn't show some appreciation.

However, the golden hibiscus, which only costs two yuan a bunch, is still of a lower grade. But Jiang Yao has no choice. With the little money in his pocket, he can only afford this.

After watching Tong Gang leave, Jiang Yao hurried into the house and pushed out his bicycle.

Nowadays, most people travel by bicycle or on foot.

Not to mention cars, even the most ordinary motorcycles are still a luxury. For ordinary families, even if they can afford it, they are reluctant to buy it.

The main reason why Jiang Yao didn't ride a bicycle when fishing at night was that he couldn't ride down to the riverside.

If he parks his car on the side of the road, he is simply giving benefits to others. Even if he installs three locks, when he returns from fishing, it is guaranteed that there will be nothing left on his car.

The reason he went out at this moment was naturally to take advantage of the early morning and hurry to Ma Wan Village.

The distance was more than ten or twenty kilometers, and Jiang Yao had to ask for directions along the way. If he walked, it would probably take several hours to go back and forth.

In such a situation, it would naturally be much more convenient and faster for him to ride a bicycle for transportation.

After parking his bicycle in the open space in front of the door and preparing to close the door of the main room, he seemed to have thought of something.

After going back to the house, he found a piece of red paper, folded it and put it in his trouser pocket. Then he closed the door, got on his bicycle and rode towards the road not far away.

Jiang Yao was actually not sure whether he would encounter any accidents if he went out like this in the midst of a disaster.

But doing nothing and just staying at home waiting to die is not his style.

Riding his bicycle, he was very careful along the way.

Especially when he sees a large truck approaching in the distance, or when he reaches a certain bend where the visibility is not very good, he will get out of the car directly along the side of the road.

He only got on his bike and continued on his way after he was sure it was safe and unlikely to cause any accidents.

The journey was uneventful and in the blink of an eye, an hour or two had passed.

"Is this the home of Carpenter Xu?"

Looking at the dilapidated earthen brick house in front of him, Jiang Yao was suspicious and muttered to himself.

During the cycling trip, he asked at least a dozen or twenty people, and finally found this place. It really took him a lot of effort.

To this end, he spent 1.2 yuan to buy a pack of Junjian brand cigarettes, commonly known as "ghost fight", and whenever people asked for directions, he would hand them one.

The original incarnation was a young man who smoked to show off, but he was not really addicted to smoking.

Although Jiang Yao is an old smoker, he is very restrained in this regard and only smokes occasionally.

Mawan Village is not a completely plain like Jiang Yao's village. There are many small hills here, so the houses built by the villagers are naturally not densely packed.

The mud house in front of him was a single-family house. Looking around, Jiang Yao could see no other houses.

"When I asked for directions before, the old man told me that Carpenter Xu lived here, so I shouldn't have made the mistake!" Jiang Yao walked a few steps to the door of the mud house and looked at the wooden door in front of him. Although it was ajar, there was a gap as big as a fist, and he knocked lightly.

"Is anyone there?"

"Does Master Xu live here?"

……

Shouting, he gently pushed open the wooden door in front of him.

The furnishings in the room were very simple, with just a dirty table and a few chairs.

This place is where the main hall is. There is a small door next to it, which should be connected to the bedroom. However, Jiang Yao, standing at the door, has no idea what is inside.

Not seeing anyone in the main room, he tried again and asked a few more questions loudly.

"Why are you yelling? You're yelling for his soul! There's no one here. Master Xu doesn't live here!" At this time, there was finally a response from the bedroom next door.

Accompanied by a very impatient voice, an old man with messy hair, shirtless and wearing only a pair of shorts, who looked like he had not woken up yet, limped out of the room slowly.

It's so hot today, the old man probably hasn't taken a bath for some time.

As he walked a little closer, an indescribable sour smell rushed into Jiang Yao's mind.

As soon as he saw this man's appearance, Jiang Yao had basically confirmed his identity.

"Master Xu, stop joking, come and have a cigarette!"

If you ask someone for help, you should act like you are asking for help. With a smile on his face, Jiang Yao quickly walked over.

He took out his cigarette box, took out a cigarette, and handed it respectfully to the lame old man.

"Hey, a young man like you, you are still smoking a ghost fight..."

There was obviously some disdain in Carpenter Xu's eyes, but he did not refuse in the end and took the cigarette.

"There's nothing I can do. My family is poor and we can only afford this!" Seeing that Carpenter Xu already had the cigarette in his lips, Jiang Yao quickly took out his lighter and helped him light the cigarette.

Then, he continued, "I've heard of your great name, Master Xu, a long time ago. I came to your house without permission this time. To be honest, I came to ask you for help..."

He hadn't even finished his words when Carpenter Xu interrupted him: "What life do you want me to save? I'm not a doctor. There's no point in you looking for me."

He glared with an amusement look and looked Jiang Yao up and down.

Then, he chuckled and said, “You kid, you are born with low flames, so it’s easy for you to attract dirty things.”

"It seems that you must have encountered something unclean. You can find me here, so you must have someone else's advice."

"I think you're a good kid. Although I don't know how to cure diseases, it won't be a big problem for me to solve your little problem."

"only……"

Having said this, Carpenter Xu suddenly stopped talking, raised his palm, and rubbed his fingers together.

Seeing his action, Jiang Yao understood instantly.

He smiled awkwardly and asked tentatively, "It's only right to spend money to ward off disasters. Can I ask how much you charge?"

When he said this, he was obviously lacking in confidence.

You know, although he took a piece of red paper before going out, which could be used as a red envelope after folding, but all his belongings in his pocket were only 60 cents.

With just this little money, can I hire a master like Carpenter Xu?

Jiang Yaozhen was a little skeptical about this.
