Liu Guangquan squinted his eyes and said: "Ah Cai, your heart is really big, can you still sleep after such a toss? The storm is coming, the old man is also going into the mountain, no one will serve him after he leaves, we are going to be trapped here by the torrential rain, do you go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables to eat or do you want to do something, or you stay and repair the coffin board?"

The little apprentice Ah Cai looked around at the tattered coffin board all over the ground, shook his head and said, "Then let's go, I'll go to the room and pack up my things." ”

Liu Guangquan said: "Later, we will set off with this group of friends, and we will have a good idea on the way." ”

The little apprentice Ah Cai didn't seem to be happy, but he didn't dare to say anything.

I was surprised, Liu Guangquan said without waiting for me to ask: "Brother Luo Hui, I am quite close to you, don't you mind going on the road together?"

I hurriedly said: "Of course I don't mind, I can't ask for it, if there is a master like Master Liu on the road, then what danger can it be difficult for us?"

Liu Guangquan laughed.

I said in my heart that my sycophant definitely slapped his heart.

Zhu Meijuan said curiously: "Master Liu, are you just on the same road with us?"

Liu Guangquan said: "It's the same road, my original route is to bypass Laowo Mountain, so it takes four days to reach Xiangxi, if you go directly over Laowo Mountain two days can arrive, I pondered, this storm looks like it's coming tonight, our original route will be very potholed and muddy, the same will become difficult to walk, anyway, it's difficult to go, it's better to go directly over Laowo Mountain, so no matter how difficult it is to walk, it will only take two days." ”

Zhu Meijuan said happily: "So that's the case, that's good, I'm still afraid of delaying you." ”

Liu Guangquan glanced at me and said, " Besides, I am very close to the Luo Hui brothers, after what happened just now, I think he is very responsible, obviously he can leave, but he chose to stay in the aftermath and take responsibility for what he did wrong, this kind of behavior makes me admire him very much, I appreciate him very much, so I want to make a friend with him, since it is a friend, I can take a hand if I need it on the road, we also pay attention to doing good deeds and accumulating virtues, otherwise we will not be able to do this line of driving corpses, of course, I also have my own benefits, shorten the distance, and I am not completely helping you. ”

I was embarrassed what Liu Guangquan said, I breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly glad that I had made an extremely correct decision just now, otherwise I would have made a bond with the corpse chaser, maybe I will find trouble in the future.

Thinking of this, I immediately bowed to Liu Guangquan and said politely: "Master Liu, thank you for your trust in me, it is my honor to know an old-timer like you......." ”

Liu Guangquan held me up and said, "Don't be like this, since you're a friend, don't be so polite." ”

Everyone smiled heartily, we were more confident in finding Du Yong and Ma Xiang, and after Liu Guangquan's little apprentice Ah Cai packed up our things, we entered the mountain with thunder and lightning under the leadership of Lao Jinzi.

On the way, I asked Liu Guangquan how the god of joy died, and why he was so angry.

Liu Guangquan deliberately opened the little apprentice Ah Cai before whispering: "Actually, this Xishen is not the customer's business at all. ”

I was taken aback, Liu Guangquan smiled bitterly and said: "The times are developing so fast, our industry has long since declined, no one has hired us to drive the corpses, all of them are used to pull the joy of the gods, and there are faster direct burns to ashes and transported by plane, not afraid of your jokes, I am fifty this year, I have no business to do when I am about thirty years old, calculate how many years, we are even regarded as superstition, can not do things publicly." ”

I sighed: "It's not easy to survive, by the way, in this case, how can you survive in this industry?"

Liu Guangquan said: "Most of my peers have transformed into Mr. Bai Shi, opening a dojo or something for others to handle the aftermath, barely making ends meet, but I don't want to do this, no matter how difficult it is, I have to persevere, the "Thirty-six Exercises of Chasing Corpses" method is handed down by the older generation of corpse chasers from ancient times to the present, and has been passed down to my generation, but it can't be lost in my hands, if it is lost in my hands, then how can I be worthy of them? I have the responsibility to pass on this ancient secret art. ”

I cast an admiring gaze at Liu Guangquan, now I don't know how many folk craftsmen's mastery has been lost, not to mention this kind of ancient secret art, the secret art also needs to be inherited, just like Tao Shuijin's nightmare, has been reduced to magic juggling for entertainment, fortunately he still has a little bit of nightmare mastery in this vein.

Liu Guangquan pointed to the little apprentice Ah Cai, who was walking side by side with Bazhu, and said: " His name is Liu Xiaocai, I picked up the abandoned baby, because he suffered from a disease that seemed to be a terminal illness at the time, so he was abandoned in the mountains by his parents, if I didn't happen to pass by he would have died, I picked him up and took care of him for a period of time, his symptoms were alleviated, and then the medicine came to me and I sent him to treatment, and with some of my herbs cured him, I didn't know what his surname was, so he took my surname, named Xiaocai, he is both my apprentice and my adopted son, by the way, we can't get married in this business, and it's very hard to fight a single for a lifetime, and I have a small talent I can also be regarded as having a home, alas。 ”

I listened sadly and sighed helplessly.

Liu Guangquan said: "This kid is fifteen years old this year, although he is not ugly, he does not quite meet the rules of being a corpse chaser, but the rules are also used to break, no one stipulates that the corpse chaser must be ugly, the reason why there is such a rule is because this line of work is very panicked, dealing with dead people's corpses all day long, ordinary people are reluctant to do it, only those who are ugly, If you can't get a daughter-in-law, you're willing to do it in order to make a living, so over time such a rule has been formed, and it's not for any special reason, this kid is not like me, I'm ugly and can't please my daughter-in-law, so I can't get into this business, if he wants to ask for a daughter-in-law, I won't stop him. ”

I said thoughtfully, "I thought there was some special reason for this." ”

Liu Guangquan said: "I see that this kid is almost old, so I plan to pass on the method of "Thirty-six Skills for Chasing Corpses" to him, but what to do if there is no corpse to drive, I am really sad to ......death." ”

I immediately came to my senses and said, "So you deliberately found a corpse to catch up, so that Ah Cai could learn in practice, and also told him in the process that it is taboo that the corpse cannot be destroyed and that the corpse will be transformed, only what you learn in this way can come in handy, and you can't learn the theory at all." ”
