Chapter 6 Chapter 3 The Weird Coffin Shop

Tailor Xu has been very depressed, because next door to him is Lao Wang's coffin shop. For this single man who has no children and his wife died early, the tailor shop and the dog at home are almost all of him. It is said that since more than 50 years, Lao Wang's father has opened the coffin shop next door.Thirty years ago he inherited the tailor shop, and Lao Wang inherited the coffin shop.At first everything was fine, but ever since Tailor Xu's wife died of dystocia and his wife and children could not be preserved, he poured out his anger on the coffin shop next door. Everyone in the village said that the coffin shop was bad luck, and anyone who was next to him would be unlucky.Tailor Xu didn't think he was unlucky in the past, but that night, the more he thought about it after his dead wife passed away, the more he felt that the death of the coffin shop was on his wife who was giving birth, and was dragged by the ghosts to be a scapegoat.

On the first seven days after his wife and children died, Tailor Xu drank a few bottles of spirits, came to the coffin shop at night, and sprinkled lamp oil on it.When he was about to light the fire, he was actually discovered by Lao Wang.The usually peaceful neighbors started fighting, and finally the trouble came to the village chief's house. The village chief couldn't think of a way, so he could only mediate as much as possible, and the matter finally ended. The coffin shop didn't burn down, but the anger in Tailor Xu's heart has been burning for more than 20 years.He tried every means to knock down the coffin shop, but Lao Wang's coffin shop is still open next to him, like a silent mockery.

Ye Buyu's second night in Bao'en Village was basically spent in the nagging of Tailor Xu. This honest and hospitable old man kept talking about the past, chattering, and was so annoying that he almost covered his ears without talking all night.Qingfeng was grinning, and looked very patient, but judging from his clenched hands, he probably reached the limit of patience. This naturally dumb monster also seems to be afraid of being nagged. After finally waiting for Tailor Xu to go to rest, Ye Buyu went to the window and opened it.The night was dark, with no stars or moon, and even a slight breeze could not be felt, and it was difficult to see the boundless dust storm not far away.No matter how you look at this Baoenzhuang, you feel a little weird.

Ye Buyu wanted to draw some paper talismans for backup, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it.He glanced at his monster servant, "Qingfeng, what do you think is wrong with Baoenzhuang?" "I don't know." Qingfeng shook his head honestly. "I think there may be a problem with the coffin shop." Ye Silent didn't expect his idiot servant to answer, and said to himself: "This small place only has a total of more than a hundred people. I saw that there are very few children today. I don't even know how this village keeps multiplying. The coffin It has been opened for more than 50 years, and I don’t know how many businesses have been done, but the old Wang in Xu Tailor’s mouth has been living a good life so far. The more I think about it, the more I feel that there is a problem!” “Or, I’ll sneak in to see See?" Qingfeng volunteered.

"Alright, I'll wait for you at home." Ye Buyu turned around, smiling with a somewhat inexplicable dark belly. If Qingfeng saw his current expression, he would definitely be horrified, because whenever this guy smiled like this, he would always be unlucky. It's a pity that the stunned Qingfeng didn't pay attention, but jumped out from the inner window on the second floor under the signal of the master, and fell lightly into the backyard of the coffin shop. Ye Buyu watched the figure of the servant disappear into the shop, shook his head, went to the dilapidated plank bed and lay down, his mind was full of thoughts for a while.

For some reason, he always has a sense of danger, as if this peaceful and peaceful Bao'en Village hides unknown dangers all the time and everywhere, even the dry and sweet smell in the air contains killing intent. If you really want to be stuck here for half a year, it is estimated that there will be absolutely no good end.What's more, will the storm in the outside world really disappear in half a year?He breathed quietly, quietly, and the oil lamp on the table burst out lightly from time to time.About half an hour later, Qingfeng came back. "Master, there is nothing unusual about the coffin shop."

The monster servant reported. Ye Buyu waved his hand with such an expression as expected, "Then go to bed first, we'll talk about it tomorrow." The dumbfounded Qingfeng let out an "oh", a green light flashed in his hand, and his whole body was suspended in mid-air.He lay leisurely in the unsupported air, envious for a while without saying a word the other night.The hardness and smell of the broken boards is really unbearable. Early the next morning, before the two of them got up, they were awakened by a burst of crying and shouting. "What's the matter! What's the matter!" Qingfeng was so frightened that he fell from the air and fell to the ground, rubbing his buttocks in pain.

Ye Buyu stood up, opened the window and took a look.I saw the horse hunchback of the caravan angrily pulling a villager and scolding them. The villagers who were scolded were already panicked and sweaty. More than a dozen members of the caravan were filled with righteous indignation, while the businessmen just stood in the outer circle to watch the excitement.On the ground not far from the horse's camel's head, a corpse was covered with sackcloth. Ye Buyu has always had a photographic memory, so he made a careful identification, and there was only one young man named Dongzi missing in the caravan.It seems that the person who died last night was Dongzi.

Strange, this Dongzi Niu is tall and strong, and his body is very strong. Such a big storm didn't kill him. Why did he suddenly die in this Baoen Village where there is food, drink and help?Not only Ye Buyu was puzzled, but even the servant Qingfeng said "Hey": "Master, there is something strange. That corpse is full of dead energy, it's very frightening." Ye Buyu pondered for a moment, "Only people who die violently will be filled with death energy. This Dongzi was very healthy before his death. I guess he was very unwilling before he died. Even if he died, his soul would not want to leave. Or, some Something bound his soul so he couldn't leave."

"How about going to have a look?" Qingfeng hesitated. "Let's go!" Ye Buyu waved his hand to ensure that his disguise spell did not fail, and then walked out of the tailor shop. As they got closer to the place where the caravans gathered, the noise became louder. "My brother must not die for no apparent reason, say, who killed him?" the horse hunchbacked sharply. The villagers caught by him were timid, with a look of fear, "I, I really don't know. I woke up this morning and had a meal with this little gentleman, and he was already out of breath."

Ye Buyu propped his chin with his hands and nodded slightly.It seems that Dongzi originally lived in this villager's house. "Nonsense, my brother has a very good voice. He has been running horses with me since he was fourteen years old. He has been with me for eight years and has never had a serious illness. How could he die inexplicably!" The horse hunched his head and roared. The caravan also immediately echoed.In an unfamiliar place, a brother died strangely, which was enough for the rest of the people to panic. The villagers cried and said: "I also took him in kindly. I never thought that he would die in my house. Otherwise, go to the village chief for an evaluation. You live in my house and eat in my house. I didn't take a penny or get a little benefit." .” The horse camel's head was suddenly at a loss for words.That's right, eating and living for two days, my group really didn't spend anything.The enthusiasm of the people in the village is abnormal. "I don't care. If someone dies in your house, you must give me an explanation." The hunchback of the horse played horizontally.This Zhuangzi doesn't have any force, and more than a dozen people in his hands have licked blood from the knife edge, which is enough to sweep Baoenzhuang. Ye Buyu felt boring, so he quietly walked to the corpse, squatted down, lifted a corner of the sackcloth with his hand, and glanced at the dead Dongzi.There was no pain on the corpse's face, and the frozen expression before death was even ecstatic, not knowing what kind of dream it was having. The death should have come suddenly. Dongzi's death did not have any warning, and he had not been hit by an external force. If one had to judge the cause of death, it should be said that he died in a dream. Died in a dream?No matter how you think about it, it's a bit weird. "Master, look at the forehead of the corpse." Aomine found something. Ye Buyu shifted his gaze to Dongzi's head, and sure enough, a dark patch of color condensed on the forehead of the corpse, gathering but not dispersing, like mold that grew after rotten food.He frowned: "What is this? Corpse plaques? No, corpse plaques are not produced so fast, and they are not so disgusting." Ye Buyu looked at the moldy black lump, feeling a little terrified, feeling that even the whole corpse had become weird!Dongzi's death was indeed a bit strange.He secretly took out a paper talisman from his sleeve and stuffed it into the corpse's clothes, then clapped his hands and stood aside. A businessman who knew him immediately came over, "Brother, did you find something?" "Nothing at all, this guy didn't know what he was doing before he died, and he laughed so happily even when he died." He shook his head without saying a word at night. "Yeah, I'm laughing even when I'm dead, it's really creepy to watch." The businessman sighed, "You don't really want to stay in this ghostly place for half a year, do you? It's my fault if my wife doesn't kill me!" "Then there's no other way, the only way is to see when the storm will stop." Ye Buyu shrugged his shoulders, looking at the sky outside the village.There is still a haze in the distance, and the yellow sand is swept into the sky by the yellow wind, creating a miasma.This small village can be said to be a paradise, but it is more like a trapped Jedi. The horse tuotou threatened the villagers, and it wasn't long before the village chief received the notice and rushed over tremblingly. "Sir, sir, please put him down first." The village head still had that disgusting appearance, and even exuded a faint stench all over his body. Ye Buyu took out his fan to disperse the surrounding air, the stench was very unpleasant, like fermented corpse. Ma Tuotou saw that someone who could speak came out, so he put the villagers down, and said coldly: "My people died on your village, village chief, no matter what, you have to give me an explanation." The village head couldn't help it either, "Sir, why don't you let the old Wang from the coffin shop see the corpse first? He has been encoffining for decades, and it is very clear what causes people to die at a glance." Ma Tuotou and his brothers looked at each other for a moment, then nodded, "Alright." His subordinates died inexplicably, and he also wanted to give Dongzi's family an explanation after returning. The noise happened not far from the coffin shop, and Pharaoh came soon.He lifted the sackcloth and examined the body. The coffin shop owner was about seventy years old, with a hunched back and a sad and unfortunate look.His hands groped over the corpse, bit by bit from head to toe. Qingfeng leaned into Ye Buyu's ear and whispered: "Master, he is also full of death energy. Strange, this guy is clearly a living person, covered with death energy all over his head, how did he live until now? "Ye Buyu didn't say a word, "Don't say anything, let's watch the fun slowly." Old Wang checked quickly, raised his head after half a stick of incense, and said in a voice as hoarse as a whetstone: "Village Chief, he died suddenly due to excessive excitement." "Sudden death! You said my brother died suddenly?" Ma Tuotou was furious, grabbed Lao Wang's shriveled body, and pulled him into the air. "Sir, sir. Hero!" The village chief said anxiously, "I will pay for the funeral expenses and family placement expenses of this little hero." "Are you going? What can you give me?" Ma Tuotou calmed down. He glanced at the dilapidated village and frowned. "Although our Bao'en Village does not have a village in the front or a store in the back, and is even isolated from the world, we still have some local products." The village head slowly took out a small bag from his pocket and handed it to Ma Tuotou, "It is said that this thing is worth a lot outside." The hunchbacked horse casually weighed the bag, which was a little heavy.He dumped the contents into his hands, and a gasping sound resounded through the street. I saw a crystal clear milky white bead rolling on his hand, and as it rolled around, it exuded a strange fragrance.Under the sun, the beads reflected a cold luster, and the material could not be seen, but the price was definitely high. A knowledgeable businessman leaned over, smelled the smell, and asserted: "Yu Mingzhu, it must be Ye Mingzhu!" Ma Tuotou quickly grabbed the so-called Ye Mingzhu firmly in his palm, put it back in the bag and packed it.Although I don't know how much it is worth, it is definitely no problem to live comfortably for a lifetime.He was so excited that he wanted to yell a few times, but unexpectedly, by accident, he came down to this isolated village. Although a brother died, he made a lot of windfall. Looking vigilantly at the greedy-eyed businessman and a few subordinates who were not quite right, Ma hunched his head and laughed: "Whoever sees has a share, as long as he goes out, everyone must get a share." These words are extremely sincere, after all Ye Mingzhu can't be exchanged for money here, who knows if the best brother will stab a knife in the back. I don't care about his little thoughts, but Ye Buyu frowned, "Which one is the night pearl?" Qingfeng sniffed the smell of the beads in the air, confused, "This scent seems a little familiar." "You think so too?" Ye Buyu put his chin on his hands and smiled sinisterly, "To be honest, I have never seen a real Ye Mingzhu in my life. No one knows whether it exists or not. Even if there is , at least I can't tell the difference, but I guess, the village head must have not told the hidden story of the bead." The monster servant looked at his master, puzzled, and asked, "Is there something hidden in the pearl?" "Nonsense, if it's really a night pearl, and it's a local product here, why isn't it used for lighting at night, and why is it necessary for every household to light up the turbid, smelly, smoked lamp?" Too many oil lamps?" Ye Buyu curled his lips, "Since the villagers don't use such a clean and convenient lighting tool, it means there must be something wrong with the beads." The horse hunchback not far away has benefited, so naturally it no longer embarrasses the other party.He threatened the village chief for a while, and then ordered Lao Wang to pack up Dongzi's body and bury it another day.People who walk on horses are dead when they die. It is very difficult for the corpse to return to its hometown. It is lucky that someone can bring the property back to the family of the deceased alive. Lao Wang pushed Dongzi's body into the coffin shop with a trolley. The group watched the body put into a dark coffin and put the coffin lid back on before gradually dispersing. They are used to seeing death in this business, and they are not too sad. Besides, Dongzi's death made them an unbelievable windfall. Perhaps there are many more happy people than sad people. As Ma Tuotou walked, his confidant whispered: "Since Ye Mingzhu is a local product, the old man must still have a lot. How about we..." There was a fierceness in the confidant's eyes. "There is ample time." Ma Tuotou looked at the thick yellow sand outside the suit, shook his head lightly and said: "Maybe the storm will really blow for half a year, and if we get stiff, who will provide us with board and lodging?" "Boss should think carefully." The confidant flattered him, but he had another idea in his heart. Qingfeng's ears are very sharp, he recounted the conversation between the two to Ye Buyu, and Ye Buyu laughed immediately. "These guys lost their lives because of their lack of greed. Leave them alone, let's go to the bulletin board!" The man and the monster came to the bulletin board. The two huge rewards about himself are still high on the hunter's ventilation list, and he is very depressed after watching it silently all night. The client who made the list on the first day knew it very well.But the second arrest warrant was issued by the current Datang royal family, which is intriguing. I haven't offended them recently!Who is it that wants to find him?
