"Old John, how many people have you called? If you keep squeezing in, your dilapidated house will be squeezed out of the hole. ”

"Daddy John, what is the important matter that you have summoned us all of a sudden? ”

"Let's collect corpses together, what else can we do? Of course, we are discussing how to collect corpses!"

"What is there to discuss about collecting corpses? Who is not a veteran who has been doing it for more than three years can collect it with his eyes closed. ”

"Who said that? Collecting corpses should also pay attention to a rule, not all corpses can be collected, you must always pay attention to a territory, right? If you just collect it indiscriminately, wouldn't it be a violation of the rules for many years? ”

"Don't you just want to talk about the out-of-town wanderer I received a month ago? Yes, I made a small profit from him, but it was a complete coincidence, I just passed by there and took it by the way, and I didn't mean to rob you of your job! Besides, if I don't accept it, those wanderers and beggars will also pick up his things and won't wait for you to come to the door. Because of this, you have not targeted me once or twice, and since you are here with old John today, we will make it clear. ”

"Okay, since you admit it, then it's easy to say, that wandering beggar died in the streets I was responsible for, and I should have a share of the money for burying the corpse, and I am not greedy, you take out half of it, and this matter is over. ”

"Why? I did the work, and you had to divide half of your empty words? When did those streets become your private property? Could it be that I picked up a money bag on those streets, and it was yours? As I said just now, even if I didn't have it, the money for burying the corpse wouldn't have fallen into your hands. ”

"Sophistry, it's pure quibble, you are judging and commenting, how can this matter be calculated? If we all collect everywhere in the future, wouldn't there be no rules, and the whole industry will be chaotic!"

"We are just a group of corpse collectors, when did we start to draw territory like those ruffians and hooligans, and when did it become an industry again? ”

"You two don't say a word, isn't it just a matter of dozens of coppers, as for making such a fuss and ruining our friendship for so many years, is it worth it?"

"Dozens of coppers, you said lightly, the emotional copper is not taken out of your pocket, this is enough for me to work for most of the week, besides, I am not at all wrong, he is here to make trouble, when I used to help him collect those penniless and sick beggars, why did he never say anything about the territory? If all the people saw the money, wouldn't it be even more chaotic. ”

"Nonsense, I told you about this before, when did you see me cross the line?"

"Why don't you know the hearts of good people? Forget it, forget it, you two continue to fight, I want to see what tricks you can fight?"

"Shut up. Old John paused his crutches heavily, and his long face full of old age spots was gloomy and could drip water, "For a little profit, you are fighting in front of the guests, are you ashamed? ”

"But we ......"

"If you talk nonsense again, just get out of my house, and nothing will matter to me in the future...... Ahem...... "Old John covered his mouth and coughed for a while, coughing so badly that he seemed to cough out his heart and lungs, and the whole person was arched into a shrimp shape.

At this time, the corpses were collected and found that there was another person behind the tall figure of Old John, but this person was wearing a traveler's hooded cloak, and his body was thin, shrunk in the dark corner, silently, and most people did not even notice his existence.

Suddenly an outsider appeared, making these corpse collectors stunned, most of them looked at each other vigilantly, the relatively isolated environment and depressing life made most of the corpse collectors become withdrawn and obedient, and even the relationship between the same kind was not friendly, let alone strangers.

Xenophobia has almost become part of their nature, and if it weren't for Old John's coughing too painfully, even if he was highly respected, many corpse collectors would have jumped out to question it.

"Gentlemen, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come unharmed. ”

The stranger, apparently aware of the habits of the corpse collector, took the initiative to lift his hood to reveal his young face, and patted old John on the back.

"Daddy is angry, Daddy is angry, your current condition is not suitable for anger, I'm really sorry, before I came, I didn't take into account Daddy's physical condition, and I caused trouble to Daddy, otherwise, I should have changed a doctor. ”

"I thought it was a big man who came to our corpse alley and made old John make such a big move, it turned out to be Elle, I heard that you recently followed a new boss who made a lot of money, and you are very appreciative, you can smell the smell of meat at home, and there are dozens of children crowded at your door every day, just to beg for a bone to eat, to beg for a mouthful of oil soup to drink, what? This is going to give the brothers a few bones to gnaw?"

Even if you have money, if you dare to set foot in other people's shops, you will be beaten out with sticks, and we are not qualified to eat human food. ”

The thin young man is none other than Eller Heyman, the young lobby manager of the restaurant with a hot business, although he is not very old, he has been crawling at the bottom for so many years, and he has long been honed, and in the face of cynicism, his expression remains unchanged, and he maintains the most perfect smile and says: "This gentleman is really right, Eller came to the door this time, and he really wanted to send you a piece of meat to eat, not only to make you full, but also to eat well." ”

"Is there such a good thing in the world? Who knows you...... Ouch......"

The most sneering corpse collector clutched his feet and wailed.

The person who beat him was none other than old John, who had stopped coughing, on crutches and panting, "The more you get mixed up, the more you go back...... We complain about the heavens and people every day, blame others for looking down on you, but you look at the river, do you look up to yourself? We deal with corpses every day, but there is no need to turn ourselves into walking dead, except for dirty thoughts in our hearts, we look at everyone like evil intentions, but you say, what else do you have to worry about besides this rotten life?"

This tirade made old John breathe heavily, and under his eagle-like gaze, no one dared to talk.

Only the previous corpse collector moaned in a low voice, not to mention the heavy hand of old John just now, and the position of the hit was also very tricky, it was the place with the least calf meat, even if there was no fracture and bone crack, the pain was enough for him to endure for three or two days.

Many corpse collectors couldn't help but correct their attitudes when they saw the good-natured old John get so angry for the first time.

"If you can trust my old John, let's continue to talk, if you can't believe it, then go back to your own home, what will be lost in the future, don't blame my old John for not being righteous. ”

Old John then put another heavy sentence, making all the corpse collectors look at each other, what happened to this old John today?

In the past, it was common to quarrel like the meeting in front of me, and fight for a few coppers.

The poorer we are, the more likely we are to have all kinds of contradictions and conflicts.

A few coppers don't seem to be much, but when it comes to a full meal, it's a big deal, and most of the people who fight for Old John want to ask the other party to help judge and administer justice.

Old John usually plays the role of a peacemaker, in the middle and the mud, both sides fight fifty big boards, although not necessarily fair, but it is also a solution to the matter, like today's big fight, unique.

As for the corpse collectors who walked out of this house, there were none, including the two who had the argument and the one who was given a cane, because they knew that once they left this house, they would be isolated by the group of corpse collectors.

For a group that is not accepted by the public, if it is isolated by this small group again, it will really become a lonely family, and it is not far from death.

The corpse collectors turned around and calmed Old John's emotions.

"Daddy John, where is that? If we can't even believe Daddy John, who else can we believe?

"Anyone can cheat us, but Daddy won't, I absolutely believe what Daddy said. ”

"If anyone dares to say that Daddy is not, first ask my fist if he agrees. ”

"Dad, dissipate your anger, you haven't been in good health recently, if you are angry, leave us and leave first, we will really become a plate of loose sand, and we will always be crushed under our bodies. ”

"Can you speak? Can you speak? What do you mean Daddy leaves us and goes first? Daddy is stiff and strong, and he must live longer than you, a tuberculosis ghost. ”

"That's nature, that's nature, it's me who said the wrong thing, it's me who said the wrong thing. ”

"Dad, it's our fault, we shouldn't care about these petty profits, the two of us go back and solve it privately, solve it privately, and nothing like this will happen again. ”

"Daddy, we know it's wrong, so forgive us for this moment. ”

Old John let out a long sigh, waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I won't be able to die for a while, it's because I'm serious, it's all about living." In order to live, I have done a lot of shady things over the years, but we can't do this for the rest of our lives. ”

"Don't you do this for the rest of your life? What else can we do? We have no craftsmanship, we have no strength, as soon as we hear that we are corpse collectors, I can't wait to be two streets away from us, and there are other ways out?"

"Zifan has a way out, who wants to be a corpse collector. ”

"Don't be in a hurry, wait until I'm done. Old John waved his hand and said, "I didn't say that I want to change careers, we are still our corpse collectors, but someone is willing to make a deal with us, a big deal, if the operation is good, it is impossible to make a fortune, but it is no problem to ask for a full meal." ”

"Deal, big deal, we are collecting corpses, not rags, and we can pick up some old things and resell them, what kind of deal can we have?"

"Yes, do you want us to sell corpses? This can't be done, this is condemned by the gods, and the soul will fall into hell forever after death, I don't do this kind of thing. ”

If the people of the Holy See hear it, be careful to burn you at the stake. ”

"Who are we trading with? Could it be Little Eller? I'll admit he's been mixing well lately, but nowhere near the level of bringing all of us together, right?"

"Don't guess, just listen to Daddy! Daddy, you don't want to sell Guanzi, what kind of deal is it that makes you so popular?"

"That's right, Daddy, hurry up, you're going to kill us. ”

The corpse collectors exchanged their heads and ears, and after guessing for a long time, they couldn't guess the reason, and finally set their eyes on Old John and Ayler, not surprisingly, this so-called transaction was brought by the young man in front of him.

Old John deliberately paused for a moment to let everyone digest the news, and at the same time whetted their appetites, before he spoke.

"This matter is not clear in one or two sentences, my old John has lived a lifetime, and it is the first time he has encountered such a transaction, and he does not dare to make an idea alone, so he will call everyone over, listen to it himself, and then make his own decision, today my health is a little poor, let little Eller personally tell everyone, Eller, you come." ”

"Daddy John, you rest first, I am grateful if you can help me gather all the gentlemen, and I will naturally leave the rest to me. ”

Eller skillfully dragged a stool over and helped old John to sit down before clearing his throat.

"There are people here who know me and those who don't, it doesn't matter, I'm just a small person, a person who is responsible for running errands, and it's my current boss who really wants to do business with you. ”

"The Andes guy who runs the restaurant and the medical clinic?"

"That's right. ”

"What big deal can he make with us? Could it be to transport the bodies of patients in the medical center? But the people who can go to the medical center, the eight CD has a family, and they don't need us, right?"

"There is a need in this regard, our boss is merciful, not only will treat those rich patients, but also treat some homeless patients, there are always some corpses without family members, it is really troublesome to deal with, but this is not the main content of what we want to discuss today, my boss wants to ask you to do something, this matter is a gesture for you. ”

Eller paused slightly, looked around, and saw that all the corpse collectors showed listening expressions before continuing.

"When you collect the corpses, turn around and go out of the city through the gate where the medical center is located, especially those who still have a breath left, including those seriously injured gladiators, use your fastest speed to send them to the medical center, of course, you will not let you work in vain, every time you transport a corpse through the medical center, you will be rewarded with a meal, you can choose to eat, or you can choose to exchange it for copper according to the market price, Tong Su is not deceived, and it is cashed on the spot. ”

After Eller finished speaking, there was silence in the scene, and all the corpse collectors looked at each other, and none of them answered for a long time, because the deal was so strange that it was unheard of.

It's not difficult for them, at most, they can run more legs, but they can change a full meal, it is definitely a pie falling from the sky, they are not afraid of hardship or tiredness, what they are really afraid of is that no one dares to use them.

But the question is, what is the other party's picture?

There is no profit at all, can such a business last long?

What should I do if my body is pulled over and the other party doesn't admit it?
