After saying this, he took out his phone and booked two bus tickets.
Then he pulled me straight to the bus station.
Just like that, I boarded the bus back to Li Family Dam with him.
The bus slowly started, carrying me and Wang Zhan directly to Li Family Dam.
I held the Wedding Dress in my hands, feeling a mix of emotions.
As I looked out at the increasingly desolate scenery, a sense of unease settled in my heart.
Could this really solve our problems?
Just as I was lost in thought, Wang Zhan suddenly spoke up, "Miss Yang, why don’t you rest for a while?"
"When we arrive at Li Family Dam, we still have a lot to investigate."
I nodded and obediently closed my eyes.
The sound of the bumpy ride lulled me into a drowsy sleep.
I don't know how long it was before I felt someone nudge me.
Opening my eyes, I saw it was Wang Zhan.
"Miss Yang, wake up."
"We've arrived at Li Family Dam."
"Huh? So soon?" I sat up groggily and looked out the window.
Sure enough!
We had already reached the bus station.
Still dazed, I followed Wang Zhan off the bus and stepped outside the station.
The scene before me instantly jolted me awake.
Outside the station, a crowd of villagers had gathered.
Each of them held tools like hoes and shovels, their expressions unfriendly as they stared at us.
I was stunned.
What was going on?
Why were these villagers standing here with hoes, shovels, and other tools?
Could it be that they wanted to attack us?
As I pondered this, Wang Zhan suddenly spoke up, "Everyone, please don't get agitated."
"We're not bad people!"
After saying this, he pulled me out of the crowd and into a narrow alley.
I looked around and found that the entire back street was lined with dark blue tiled houses.
The red wooden building was nowhere to be seen.
What happened?
Where did that wooden building go?
While I was still confused, Wang Zhan said, "Let's go find the mayor to understand the situation."
"Okay." I nodded and followed Wang Zhan to a house.
He pushed open the door and walked straight into the courtyard.
An elderly man dressed in traditional Tang clothing approached us.
"Old Mayor, I've come to see you."
Wang Zhan greeted the old man warmly and then brought me in front of him.
"Old Mayor, this is Miss Yang, who has encountered some strange events."
"I would like to ask for your help in resolving this."
As he spoke, he handed the Wedding Dress to the Old Mayor.
The Old Mayor took a glance at the Wedding Dress, and his expression immediately turned cold.
With a serious face, he asked, "Miss Yang, have you seen this person?"
As he spoke, he handed me a black-and-white framed photograph.
In the photo was an elderly man with a kind expression.
"It's him!" I exclaimed in surprise. "He's the one who rented me the Wedding Dress!"
The Old Mayor's expression grew even more grim.
He spoke in a low voice, "That person has been dead."
"Dead?" I was taken aback. "Wasn't he still alive?"
The Old Mayor shook his head. "He has been dead for over seventy years."
"He was our Old Tailor from the Li Family Dam."
"In life, he loved making Wedding Dresses."
"The Wedding Dress you are wearing was also made by him."
At this, I was completely stunned.
What?
Dead for over seventy years?
How could that be?
Wasn't he the one who measured me?
Wasn't he the one who sold me the Wedding Dress?
As I was lost in confusion, the Old Mayor spoke again.
"Miss Yang, may I ask where you first met him?"
