Since it's a mass grave, it can't be within the city. The area outside the northern part of the city is vast.
There are many mountains and many trees.
Who knows where the mass grave is, or how many mass graves there are?
How am I supposed to find it?
Lu Fei frowned.
What does this Jia Banxian really want? He sets a condition but doesn't explain clearly, just giving a time and place.
Could it be related to his bizarre streak of bad luck?
Lu Fei had also witnessed it himself.
He had only been sitting next to him for twenty minutes, and he almost got hit by a car.
Who knows what might happen if he stays with him at night.
Even if knives were falling from the sky, Lu Fei would still have to go, otherwise, how could he find his grandfather?
"Speaking of which, how do we even find this Northern City Mass Grave?"
Lu Fei checked the time.
It was now 2 PM, and he had ten hours to prepare. He might as well go to the northern part of the city first to gather some information.
"Huzi, pack up, we're going out."
Lu Fei put away the note.
"Where are we going, boss? Another deal?" Hu Zi's eyes lit up; he really enjoyed going out to handle things with Lu Fei these days.
It was both thrilling and profitable, far more interesting than just watching the store.
"No, it's something else." Lu Fei paused for a moment, then said, "Go find a car first. We need to leave the city."
"Oh."
Hu Zi nodded. He wouldn't ask more if Lu Fei didn't say anything. He picked up his phone and went out to rent a car.
Lu Fei threw a chew toy to the small black dog, letting it play by itself outside, while he took the key and went to the warehouse.
He selected from the dead pawn area for a while.
Finally, he set his sights on a pair of cinnabar lucky beads.
These kinds of bracelets are believed to bring good fortune and ward off bad luck, which might help alleviate some of Jia Banxian's misfortune.
Lu Fei immediately put on the cinnabar bracelet.
Lock the door.
Just as he came out, he saw the little black dog biting his slippers.
"You little thing, put it down!"
Lu Fei was thoroughly exasperated.
This was already the third pair of slippers.
The little guy could eat and sleep, and in just a few days, he had grown noticeably, even his fur had become much smoother.
His eyes were black and bright, and with his chubby appearance, he looked extremely adorable.
In reality, this little fellow's destructive power was quite astonishing. If not watched carefully, he would tear up the house.
Recently, it seemed as though he was teething, and whenever he got the chance, he would use Lu Fei's slippers to sharpen his teeth. Even after Lu Fei bought him chew toys, it didn't help.
Moreover, the little guy only bit Lu Fei's slippers and never touched Hu Zi's.
Because Huzi's feet stink.
"Little one, these are shoes, they are for wearing, not for eating, understand?"
Lu Fei finally managed to rescue the slipper, and in order to soothe the barking little black dog, he had to open a can for it.
The only way to divert the little thing's attention is with food.
The puppy was munching away enthusiastically but suddenly stopped, its bright black eyes watching the doorway warily.
Immediately after.
A familiar plump figure walked in from outside.
"Oh, Brother Lu, I wondered where you were, turns out you were playing with the dog back here."
It was Liu Fugui, whom he hadn't seen for a while.
"Old Liu, where have you been making your fortune lately? You look pretty good." Lu Fei smiled, patting the little black dog's head.
Liu Fugui's face was much more rosy, indicating that he had fully recovered.
"This little thing is quite adorable, so chubby. If we were to cook it in a hot pot, it would definitely be very fresh and tender..."
He looked at the small black dog, deliberately showing a mischievous smile.
The small black dog suddenly changed its expression and bit towards his calf with its mouth open.
"Ouch!"
Liu Fugui was greatly startled.
Lu Fei reacted quickly and grabbed the small black dog back. The small black dog, still in his arms, barked fiercely at Liu Fugui.
"So this little thing can understand human speech?" Liu Fugui opened his eyes wide and hurriedly said to the small black dog with a smile, "Hey, little one, Uncle was just joking, don't get angry, don't get angry!"
After saying many nice words, the small black dog finally huffed and went back to eating its canned food.
It would stop and growl threateningly at Liu Fugui from time to time as it ate.
"This is so smart! No wonder it's Brother Lu, even the dog you raise is extraordinary!" Liu Fugui flattered with a thumbs up.
Lu Fei rolled his eyes: "Old Liu, if you have something to say, just get to the point instead of this nonsense!"
This guy never comes without a purpose, and Lu Fei has no patience for his babbling.
"It's not a big deal, it's just that I have a friend who accidentally bought an unclean jade. After wearing it, he had nothing but bad luck, and he wants you to take a look at it."
Liu Fugui finally said with a smile.
"He came by a few days ago, but unfortunately, you weren't there. He asked me to help him find out when you'll be available, as he's waiting."
"You don't know, the reputation of our Sinisterium Pawnshop has spread. Many people know that if they encounter anything strange, they should come to Sinisterium Pawnshop."
Sure enough, it's about business again.
"How unlucky was he, was his life in danger?" Lu Fei couldn't help but want to laugh.
How coincidental that a customer with such bad luck would come??
Could it be that bad luck can attract each other?
"He just said that everything's been going wrong, always losing money and things, even deals he had already secured would fall through, but there was no danger to his life."
"Then please ask him to wait for a couple of days. I have something important to do and am about to go out for a while." Lu Fei was quite curious, but at the moment Jia Banxian's matter was more urgent.
"No problem! As long as you agree to this!"
Liu Fuguai rubbed his hands together again and said with a smile, "Brother Xiao Lu, you've been so busy lately. Have you received another good item? Do you have anything to sell?"
"If I do, I'll let you know."
"Alright! Alright!"
Liu Fuguai smiled happily and then brought up Chen Jinfa.
The two often arranged to go to the club together, and Chen Jinfa even introduced antique buyers to him, allowing him to make a few small profits.
They chatted for a while.
Huzi rented the car and came back.
"Brother Xiaolu, you go ahead with your work. I'll go back and wait for your good news," Liu Fugui tactfully left.
Lu Fei gave the other string of cinnabar lucky beads to Huzi.
"Wear these, they will protect you at night. Also, bring all our tools, the Bagua mirror, willow whip, incense ash, and everything else, don't leave anything out."
"Bring everything? What exactly are we doing tonight, boss?" Huzi asked, his eyes wide with excitement.
"The chaotic burial ground."
Lu Fei gave a brief reply, then picked up the small black dog.
"Wow, this is going to be a big job."
Huzi busily packed, using two backpacks to fit everything in.
"Drive north of the city."
"Alright, hold on tight, boss!"
Lock the door and put up the sign.
Hu Zhi stepped on the gas, and the car roared out of the parking lot, heading further and further towards the northern part of the city.
An hour later, they were out of the city.
On the way, while driving, they inquired around and indeed found out about a pauper's cemetery.
It was to the north, inside a desolate mountain.
The car was parked at the foot of the desolate mountain. There were no roads up the mountain, so they had to walk in.
Hu Zhi slung two backpacks, one in front and one behind, his heart filled with curiosity.
"Boss, what exactly are we here for?"
