More than a decade ago, when the Zhou Dynasty was about to fall, it was also the period when Kyoto had the most wanderers, and it expanded to a behemoth scale. And now, because most of the homeless people who used to be homeless can now find a way to survive and eat, the number of ownerless corpses that are delivered to the village every day is gradually decreasing, and the number of yacha stationed here has naturally been reduced, and several houses in Yizhuang have collapsed in the wind and rain for several years due to lack of maintenance. The stability of the world has reduced the scale of this kind of building in the gradual abolition of use.

Not only that, but the nature of Yizhuang is also changing, and this qiē is affected by the change in the overall nature of the capital. Yizhuang is now taken over by the owner of a coffin shop, and several spacious coffin rooms built by the imperial court in the past are rented cheaply to Boss Wu of the coffin shop, just because Boss Wu promised to take care of the ownerless coffin temporarily parked indoors for the yamen for free.

After Boss Wu went through the formalities in the yamen to rent Yizhuang to operate, one of the three remaining rooms in Yizhuang retained the original function of Yizhuang, which was used to park the ownerless corpses found in the city sent by the yacha every morning and evening. Of course, this does not mean that the yacha will send the corpse every morning and evening, but once it is found, they will avoid sending it during the daytime, so as not to disturb the residents of the city.

The remaining two rooms, one is used to park the body of the owner, that is, the real gatehouse where Boss Wu does the business of the dead. There is another room, in which all the coffins are placed, and the funeral people want to buy coffins, and they are all picking up goods here. This is equivalent to Boss Wu's warehouse, but it is also where he sleeps, and the most conspicuous and luxurious coffin in the empty coffin warehouse is the 'bed' where Boss Wu rests at noon and at night.

Boss Wu's move is very strange and unusually bold in the eyes of ordinary people, but Boss Wu thinks that this can make 'money', and he really has no fear of the dead. But the two guys he hired were too scared of him. Except for the occasional disturbance during the day when he was taking a nap, he would never dare to go to that house at night.

In the dark of night, in a room full of boxy black boxes, a large coffin painted with a strange golden totem was regularly snoring—the men at the coffin shop had imagined more than once whether it would be a person or a dried corpse possessed by an evil spirit when they knocked on the coffin and the sleeping person inside was woken up and pushed open the lid and came out.

The business of the coffin shop has been unusually light these days. Boss Wu's mood was very conflicted. There are fewer dead people in the city, and it may be less life and death for some people, but the coffin shop is to make the dead rich, how do the undead do business?

Seeing that the business was deserted, the two guys in the shop begged Boss Wu for a day, and finally got permission, and after finishing the cleaning work in the shop this morning, they went to the inner city to enjoy the apricot blossoms. As usual, Boss Wu lay down in the luxurious coffin after lunch and took a nap.

At first, he thought of two kinds of smugness, self-deprecation. I have become a celebrity inexplicably, but this reputation is a little disgraceful, so don't go to the apricot fir road to make people look good. Then he thought: If this coffin I am lying on can be sold, it will definitely sell for a lot of money, and if this coffin is sold, I will change my bed in the future. Big people are still not suitable for sleeping in coffins. Who told the living to gasp, and the coffin was too stuffy?

Just as Boss Wu was thinking like this and was about to fall asleep, he suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing on his face, the coffin lid was actually opened, and then a gray shadow rushed in at a very fast speed. Boss Wu was stunned, there was still half a bit of sleepiness in his mind, but he didn't scream, he never believed in ghosts and gods, so he didn't open his voice at the best moment of calling. And when he was ready to speak. A hand that had reached out from behind him covered his mouth.

Boss Wu rarely had doubts about what he had always believed in, but at the same time, he was very confused, and the ghost pressed the ghost on the bed, long before he was ready to do the coffin shop business. I've heard a lot of it, either actively or passively, but the 'ghost' who found him today neither pressed nor got on, but ran behind him as a mattress!

The sensory failure caused by fear and surprise is short-lived, after all, he has been in the dead man's business for several years, even if he really faces ghosts, Boss Wu can be more calm than ordinary people.

When his mind calmed down a little, Boss Wu could clearly feel that the person behind him had a somewhat heavy breathing sound. This made him let go of most of his fear, and then he pinched the person behind him fiercely - ghosts don't cry out for pain, and if he is confused by some kind of witchcraft at this moment, he won't feel pain. However, to verify this, of course, it has to be someone else.

The person behind him snorted extremely depressedly, and at the same time, his hand covering Boss Wu's mouth was also tight, which almost made Boss Wu's mouth full of worm teeth displace, and he snorted miserably, and tears burst out of his eyes uncontrollably. This move is enough to prove that he was hijacked, but Boss Wu regrets it very much in his heart, if he could have known earlier that the person behind him was Lian Jiazi, his little sneak attack would be returned by the other party several times the weight, he would not have acted so rashly just now, and now he doesn't even have the best chance to beg for mercy.

Because his mouth was covered, Boss Wu picked it with both hands for a long time before he opened a slit in a hand that seemed to grow on his face, so that he could spit out a few words in a nasal voice: "Hero, although I sold coffins, I didn't harm anyone's life!" ”

"Don't speak, don't gasp, or you'll be killed in no time." A deep voice came from behind him.

If you don't speak, you can last a long time, and if you don't gasp, won't it be long before you will be able to stand up. Boss Wu said something in his heart, and then he heard a slight footstep into the room, and then he understood a little bit about the precise purpose of the person behind him telling him not to gasp.

Boss Wu sank his breath, and the person behind him, who seemed a little heavy at the beginning, gradually calmed down slightly, and in the quiet empty coffin warehouse, the footsteps that came into the house lingered in the room for a moment, and then walked towards the coffin where Boss Wu was.

Boss Wu could probably understand that the person lying behind him and holding him hostage should be hiding from the person who was slowly approaching at this time. If these two people fight, he and this empty coffin warehouse will probably suffer, so whether it is for himself or for others, he has to help the person who holds him hostage.

He was about to ask what to do, when the person behind him had already spoken out in advance, and said in a softer whisper: "It seems that you usually use this place as a bed, so you should know how to do it." After speaking, the quilt in the coffin was turned up, and the man completely turned into the bottom layer of the bedding bedding.

Boss Wu knew that the man was asking him to pretend to be asleep. At this time, the coffin lid is wide open, the light in the coffin room is relatively sufficient, and it is not difficult to see from the material of the futon that this is just a living person's bed, at most the location is a little strange, but it is barely in line with the personal characteristics of the coffin shop owner. At this time of noon, Boss Wu was originally ready to rest, but there was suddenly a "daredevil" at the bottom of the bed today, which made Boss Wu have to tidy up his feelings in order to pretend to be woken up by someone in his nap.

However, when Boss Wu sorted out his mind and was about to accept the interrogation of the uninvited guest, the person outside the coffin, who was already very close, suddenly stagnated, and then the sound of his clothes was raised, and the sound of the coffin lid was soft, and in an instant, these slight noises like rats walking at night were all calm. The man who came in the room next step was more like a ghost than the man who had entered before, and who was now under the futon, and just disappeared.

For a while, Boss Wu didn't know what to do, and at the same time, the voice of the person under the futon came again: "Your store has customers arriving, and you haven't gone out to do business yet." ”

Boss Wu sat up in the coffin in a daze, and when he was about to go out, he turned back and asked with some anxiety: "Then what should you do?" ”

"Sell your coffin well, when I didn't come." A hint of impatience began to mingle in the deep voice.

If only you hadn't been here, I hope you'll be gone by the time I return. Boss Wu grumbled in his heart, and then crawled out of the coffin. He dusted off his crumpled clothes in the coffin, pulled back a handful of messy hair, and when he was about to walk out of the door, he finally couldn't help but say aloud uneasily: "Although the things I sell are not very glorious, I am also a cheap businessman who relies on people to eat, and I hope God will bless me that my coffin is fine." ”

Boss Wu vaguely felt that the latecomer who suddenly disappeared from the footsteps must be hiding in one of the coffins in a room, and after he left, the two people in the room had to fight. He didn't want to offend any of them, so there was no hint of help in his words, but he tried to reveal his thoughts in limited language as much as possible - it's okay to fight, don't break his coffin.

Boss Wu guessed correctly, not long after he left, the lid of a plate in the corner of the house was slowly removed, but before the people inside came out, in the luxurious coffin where Boss Wu was sleeping, a voice had already come out one step ahead: "Brother Qiao, I know you haven't left!" ”

The lid of the coffin in the corner of the room suddenly opened after the sound was raised, but at the same time, a gray shadow also came out of the luxurious coffin on the other side, and then the lids of several coffins in the room were lifted and smashed down at the same time.

The coffin in the corner of the house was where Qiao Cui was hiding, and he came out of it after Boss Wu left, but Lu Sheng, who was hiding in the coffin where Boss Wu was sleeping, was one step faster than Qiao Cui.

Lu Sheng, who was missing the step of lifting the lid of the coffin, rushed out directly, and then used a method of confusing the audition, raising his internal strength and volleying it out, and lifting the lids of several coffins at the same time, but he actually got into the coffin, Qiao Cui missed the moment in front of him.

Standing next to the luxurious coffin that had initially locked the position, Qiao Cui glanced inside the coffin, Lu Sheng had already flashed and changed positions, which was something he expected, but this second miss still made him feel a little annoyed. However, after Lu Sheng left this coffin, he did not leave the house, but changed to another coffin to hide, which made him see another turn of events.

For him, who has an advantage over Lu Sheng in fighting kung fu, this is the best place for sneak attacks! . (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
