(224), the business of grinding the dead man

"Xiao Lu, if I want to find you in this room, it's only a matter of time. Thinking that we are acquaintances, you can come out on your own! Qiao Cui stood beside the big coffin and didn't move, but just rubbed his fist crackling as soon as he spoke. He waited for a while and didn't see Lu Sheng reply, and finally spoke again: "Then don't blame me for being rude." ”

Qiao Cui said, reached into his arms, and took out a handful of copper coins. Although Lu Sheng flashed fast just now, Qiao Cui didn't know which coffin he had gotten into, but he could still judge the general direction. True anger overflowed in his palm, Qiao Cui threw out several copper coins with a wave of his palm, and smashed them on the coffin that had been turned up with the lid just now.

If Lu Sheng still tried to escape Qiao Cui's pursuit at this time, Qiao Cui thought that his approach would be like a stubborn fish hitting a net, and he would have a complete advantage in the face of the situation.

As Qiao Cui had just said, it was only a matter of time before he could find the land in the limited space of the room. However, when the copper coin smashed on the coffin, it only took a moment to help Qiao Cui determine Lu Sheng's location, but Lu Sheng still continued to nest in the coffin and did not come out, which made Qiao Cui feel that something was wrong.

However, these hesitations only made Qiao Cui hesitate one step, he was not a gentle person.

But when he walked up to the coffin that confirmed Lu Sheng's location, and was about to reach out and lift the lid, while his other hand was already full of energy, ready to perform a big grab on the person who jumped out of the coffin, the coffin shop owner's flattering voice suddenly came from outside the house.

"Guest officer, please go this way, although the business of the small shop is limited, the longevity materials provided are subdivided into three styles: high, medium and low, and all the longevity materials are placed in this room."

Qiao Cui's eyes sank, and he suddenly understood why Lu Sheng could be so calm. If he continues to open the coffin at this time, the side of fighting with Lu Sheng may be seen by the person who is about to walk in the next moment. Lu Sheng was playing luck, but in the face of such a situation, Qiao Cui had to make concessions. His empty hand that had just been placed on the lid of the coffin was withdrawn in a daze, and after a moment's hesitation, he pointed at the knife again, leaving a faint mark on the lid of the coffin that was about to be lifted, and then his figure flashed. Lost in a coffin next to it.

After a few breaths, it was the coffin shop Boss Wu who led the way who walked in first, followed by the guests who followed closely.

Boss Wu's mood was a little nervous, and the guests who ushered in at noon made him feel strange in his heart.

They were all dressed in compactly cut gray cloth clothes, close in age, with sharp eyes and strong and steady walking. They came to the coffin shop to buy coffins, and the deceased were all carried. But Boss Wu, who had been in the coffin shop business for several years, could clearly distinguish that they faced the deceased, and there was not even a trace of sadness on their faces. If these people are just routine errands, they will not leave the body of the deceased and choose the funeral materials, but they look like they are not related to the deceased.

Originally, Boss Wu had no intention of knowing the identity of his employer, and there was probably no fixed source of customers for the dead man's business. So he doesn't need to build any relationship with his customers, just do a good job of the current business. It's just that the two strangers who broke into this house just now made Boss Wu feel the bottom of his heart first, so when he greeted the few people who came to buy the coffin at this time, he unconsciously paid more attention to the bottom of his heart.

Obediently, these two groups of people are not ordinary residents of Kyoto City, don't meet and start to do it, otherwise the coffins in this shop will be damaged!

Boss Wu said a silent sentence in his heart, and after entering the house, he saw that the room was empty. At the bottom of my heart, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Next. These guests who bought the coffin didn't bargain much with Boss Wu, so they chose a coffin and prepared to move it out to put the corpse in it.

The person who bought the coffin made a sharp move, and Boss Wu's business was also comfortable. Until the silver was in hand, he finally asked kindly: "Several guest officers have worked hard all the way, you might as well go to the living room to rest for a while, the small things that decorate the funeral can be served for free, and you can also help the deceased tidy up his remains, so that he can walk more peacefully." ”

Among the several gray-clothed people, only one of them said in a somewhat cold voice after his expression was delayed for a while: "Don't bother the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper should look down on those who were burned to death." ”

Boss Wu's tongue was at the root of his tongue, and he didn't dare to say anything more.

He had seen many of the appearance of the dead, and among the people who died unnaturally, the faces of those who were burned to death were indeed extremely tragic. The gray-clothed man's cold words were indeed for his sake, but at the same time, they also made him have a deeper fear of the identity of this group of people.

Those people asked Boss Wu for the coffin nails, and then wrapped the body in a plain silk and put it into the coffin to seal the lid, from beginning to end, Boss Wu did not see the face of the deceased. Boss Wu is not worried about this, if those people are murderers, they definitely did not have such a meticulous leisure time to choose coffins for the deceased, if there is really such a strange person, he will come to the government to investigate, and he has a reason to shirk it.

Seeing those people leave, Boss Wu felt that this was more than the money earned from the business. But when he stepped into his bedroom, where the coffin was kept, he almost threw away the amount of silver he was carrying in his hand.

There was an open space in the house, which was left by the gray-clothed men after they bought the coffin just now, and next to the clearing, a coffin was slowly removing the lid on its own, and a figure sat up from the coffin. This scene fell into the eyes of Boss Wu, who was walking into the room from the outside, and his eyes were immersed in the light of alternating light and dark, and he only felt that this glance was no different from seeing a fraudulent corpse.

Before Boss Wu could say anything, the person who crawled out of the coffin stared at him one step ahead and asked, "Where is the coffin next to it?!" ”

Boss Wu was yelled at for a moment, and then replied in a somewhat wooden tone: "I was bought by those people just now." ”

Hearing this, the scolding man instantly lifted a large part of the lids of the twenty or so coffins in the room, and then he panted slightly and asked again: "Where did you go?!" ”

Until this time, Boss Wu also realized that something was wrong, he faintly thought of a place, his face changed slightly, he raised his trembling hand and pointed out of the house, and said tremblingly: "Okay...... It seems to have gone to the bamboo forest to the south. ”

The uninvited guest with a fierce look finally refused to leave.

Boss Wu was committed to the ground, the broken silver in his hand was already wet with sweat in his palm, he exhaled and sighed secretly: In the past year, it is the first time to encounter such an abrasive business. Fortunately, the gang finally walked clean, none of the coffins in their shops were damaged, and they sold the expensive ones, and this dead man's business did not grind him to death, and he was considered profitable.

After his mind calmed down, Boss Wu sighed, and then he was ready to stand up. But at this moment, a figure landed in the air, and a wrinkled face was suddenly very close, and finally frightened Boss Wu and fainted. After all, the handful of broken silver in his hand did not have time to be put into his arms, and all of them fell to the ground.

Lu Sheng, who jumped off the beam of the house, smiled with satisfaction at the result of the coffin shop owner being stunned by his own swoop, and after hesitating for a moment, he moved Boss Wu's sleeve to cover the broken silver scattered on the ground, and then strode out of the house.

The coffin deceived Qiao Cui in sound, because Lu Sheng had placed the sword he had brought from the Ke family's blacksmith inside, but he himself had jumped onto the roof beam as the lid of the large coffin was lifted, clinging to the vertical bars of the beam like a flattened gecko.

This series of movements was too fast, and the director Qiao Cui ignored this possibility, and only focused all his attention on the coffin on the ground. In the final analysis, he still underestimated Lu Sheng's sensitive cultivation in light skills, so he didn't judge him.

Lu Sheng followed the people who carried the coffin away because his sword was taken away by those people along with the corpse. This was something Lu Sheng expected, he didn't expect it to be so unfortunate, but he wasn't too worried, it was a big deal to dig the grave and take out the sword later. But looking at Qiao Cui's expression and tone when he questioned the owner of the coffin shop just now, he seemed to think that he had also been carried away with the coffin! I just hope he doesn't do anything with those people, or things will really get a little troublesome!

Thinking of this, Lu Sheng was a little depressed. Isn't it just to send a sword to Lord Lin? He can guarantee that he will not run around, so why just make others feel uneasy?

Lu Sheng and Qiao Cui distanced themselves from each other, and just like that, they walked forward with the gray-clothed men who were carrying coffins and running among the bamboo forests. With the light cultivation of the two of them, they can avoid the attention of the group of gray-clothed people very easily, and the reason why they don't want to take care of them head-on is because they don't want to make a fuss. In this way, the most important attention to be guarded against is each other.

They hadn't gone far in the bamboo forest, and the group of gray-clothed people suddenly stopped, but they didn't seem to have reached their destination, but they were alert to something.

Lu and Qiao, who were far away, also stopped in a hurry, but when they looked around with the same vigilance, each other's figures were exposed in an instant.

However, the gray-clothed man carrying the coffin under the bamboo forest still didn't seem to notice the big flaws revealed by the two people who stopped above the bamboo tops like birds piercing the forest, but looked in one direction in unison, and one of them said with deep eyes: "What person? What's up? Come out! ”

"Hehehe." A gentle but not much kind laugh came, and in the shadow of the bamboo, two young men in black brocade walked out heroically. They stood outside the room of the coffin bearer, and they didn't say anything except the tepid laughter just now, although the expression in their eyes was calm, but the overall momentum gave people a feeling that was not very kind.

Suddenly, there was another accident, looking at these two people who came out of nowhere, their martial arts cultivation was a little more profound than those gray-clothed people, which made the two people who were like cicadas lightly covered on the top of the bamboo temporarily stop chasing the game. Lu Sheng and Qiao Cui glanced at each other, and then their faces sank, and they watched coldly...... (To be continued.)
