Volume 1: A Mess After the Crossing Chapter 13: Bought a Dead Man's Clothes to Wear
After sending something to Boss Zhang, Brother Ning took Li Yinglong to a shop called "Zhang Ji Garment Shop" and stopped, the façade of this garment shop is very shabby, and the small wooden plaque hanging above the door has been mottled and pitted, and some words are not very clear, which looks like it gives people a feeling of vicissitudes.
Brother Ning pointed to this garment shop with his hand and said: Big brother, here, this garment shop is the oldest and the best among the several garment shops in our Tiangui Town, with good craftsmanship and a cheaper price than several other garment shops.
After that, he walked in first, and as soon as he entered the store, he shouted loudly: Boss Zhang, bring you business.
As soon as his words landed, he heard a man's voice say: Coming, coming.
Then I saw a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a navy blue robe, walking out of a door at the back of the store.
When he saw that it was Brother Ning and Fat Ball, he couldn't help shouting in shock: Why are you two, go out, go out, I am a ready-to-wear shop, I don't raise chickens, and I don't have chickens for you to steal.
It seems that these two guys are famous for stealing chickens in Tiangui Town.
Hearing this, Brother Ning got angry, and said with a glare: Boss Zhang, how do you talk, my eldest brother wants to buy clothes today, so I will bring it to you, if you don't want to do this business, then I will take my eldest brother to another house, our Tiangui Town is not the only garment shop of yours.
Fat Ball Road: Your father really can't speak, even if he steals chickens, we won't come to you to steal them, and this ready-to-wear shop of yours doesn't even have a live mouse to steal anything from yours except for selling clothes.
Hearing this, Boss Zhang asked in disbelief: Really, you didn't lie to me.
Brother Ning said: Lie to you, I'm your son.
Hearing this, Boss Zhang hurriedly waved his hand and said: Forget it, don't be my son, otherwise I will be angry with you if I am not beaten to death by others.
After that, he turned his eyes to Wang Tianlun's body, and when he saw Wang Tianlun wearing a tattered clothes that he didn't know to pull out of the garbage can, and there was a pungent smell on his face, he immediately showed disdain, and thought, who are you fooling when you are so poor and still buy clothes.
But he couldn't say this, so he said, "The cheapest set of clothes in my store costs three taels of silver, are you sure you want to buy clothes from me?"
For the current Li Yinglong, three taels of silver is indeed a huge amount of money, and he really can't take it out.
Hearing this, Li Yinglong said: I can't take out three taels of silver, Boss Zhang, do you have any cheaper clothes here?
Boss Zhang said: There are cheap clothes, but I'm afraid you don't want them, or rather, you don't dare to wear them.
The clothes that I dare not wear are the clothes that have been ripped from the bodies of the dead, and it is not possible to say that this ready-to-wear shop also sells the clothes that the tomb robbers got from the graves of the dead.
Li Yinglong was stunned and asked: What do you mean, why don't you dare to wear it?
Before Boss Zhang could speak, Brother Ning answered and said: It's the clothes of a dead man.
Li Yinglong was shocked and said: What, you are still digging graves and robbing graves.
Hearing this, Boss Zhang hurriedly waved his hand and said: Hey, this little brother doesn't talk nonsense, we never do that kind of thing that lacks virtue and smokes, I do have the dead man's clothes in this store, but they are not dug up from the dead man's grave, the dead man's clothes in my store are some of the more wealthy people in the town who left some clothes that were worn but quite new after the death of the dead, they felt that it was a pity to burn it, so their family took it to me and asked me to sell it for them.
Hearing this, Li Yinglong was relieved, he was not afraid of the dead, in his previous life, as the captain of the Tianlong Special Operations Team, he often led the team to fight against terrorist organizations, and it can be said that he crawled out of the pile of dead people. The reason why he expressed his shocked appearance just now was that he was afraid that the clothes of those dead people were really ripped off the dead people in the grave, and they were too dirty.
So he said, "That's fine, just buy one."
Hearing this, Boss Zhang asked: Then what kind of clothes do you want to buy? Is it to sell a single robe or to buy a set of two clothes, that is, a pair of pants and a top.
Li Yinglong said: It's inconvenient to work in robes, so buy a set of two clothes.
So Boss Zhang took Li Yinglong to a large wardrobe, and then opened it for Li Yinglong to choose by himself.
Li Yinglong saw that there were more than a dozen sets of various colors hanging in the big wardrobe, so he chose a set of gray clothes in it and took it out and compared it on his body, and felt that it was okay, so he said: Just this set.
Boss Zhang looked at the set of clothes in Li Yinglong's hand and said casually: Eighty percent new, five silver dollars.
Hearing this, Li Yinglong didn't say anything, but Brother Ning exclaimed, so he listened to him: What, five coins of silver, too expensive, too expensive, cheaper, two pieces of silver, just two pieces of silver.
He was really able to bargain, and cut more than half of it at once.
Hearing this, Boss Zhang hurriedly waved his hand and said: If this set of eighty percent of the new clothes is a living person, it will cost at least one or two or five dollars of silver, that is, it is stained with the light of the dead, so it is so cheap. Besides, I sold this set of clothes to pay four taels of silver to the person who entrusted me to sell the clothes, and I only earned one piece of silver, and if I sold two pieces of silver, not only would I not make any money, but I would also have to lose two pieces of silver, so I couldn't sell it, and I wouldn't sell it without five pieces of silver.
Of course Li Yinglong won't believe Boss Zhang's words, buying and selling ghosts, buying and selling ghosts, it's not bad for him to sell this set of clothes and pay people two pieces of silver, but he was too lazy to bargain with him, so he said: Okay, I'll buy it.
After that, he handed the tael of silver in his hand to Boss Zhang.
Boss Zhang took it and looked at it, and then found Li Yinglong's five broken silver.
After buying clothes, Li Yinglong immediately changed into clothes directly in the fitting room of the ready-to-wear shop, and then walked out with the borrowed clothes and the torn pants.
Fat Ball saw that Li Yinglong was still holding the torn pants, so he said: Big brother, your pants are really torn, you still want it, throw it away.
Hearing this, Li Yinglong hurriedly said: This torn pants belong to the old man of my family, and he has to return them, otherwise he will have no clothes to wear.
Fat Ball asked: Who is your old man?
Brother Ning caught the opportunity to slap the fat ball's head again, so he raised a hand and was about to slap the fat ball's head, the fat ball guarded him, jumped to the side and dodged, and then said with a sneer: Can't hit, blind cat, can't hit, blind cat.
didn't shoot the fat ball's head, Brother Ning put down his hand stupidly and said: You mentally handicapped idiot, of course the old man of the eldest brother's family is the eldest brother's father.
Hearing this, Fat Ball was unconvinced: What you said is unreasonable, it is not the eldest brother's uncle or the eldest brother's uncle, and it may be that the eldest brother is kind enough to pick up an old man from the outside to raise it.
Li Yinglong took these two goods, so he answered: My old man is my father, and I usually call him an old man if I don't call him father.
Hearing this, Brother Ning said proudly: How about it, I'm right.
The fat ball glanced at Brother Ning and said: Count yourself as a fart.
After that, he asked Li Yinglong: Big brother, why do you call your father an old man?
These words stunned Li Yinglong, he knew about this, as for what was going on, he had to ask which Li Yinglong in his previous life went, but this matter is not easy to do, he has to go to the Netherworld to ask, it is estimated that if this matter is to be clarified, he will have to wait until he, Li Yinglong, will go to the Netherworld to ask a hundred years later.
Li Yinglong shook his head and said vaguely: I don't know what this is about, in my memory, I have always called it that, and I can't remember what happened.
After that, he stuffed the five pieces of silver in his hand into Brother Ning's hand and said: This is for you.
Brother Ning was stunned for a moment, and asked puzzledly: "Big brother, this is the silver you got, what are you doing for me?"
Li Yinglong said: I came up with the idea, you did, so you also have a share of the reward.
Hearing this, Ning Gele's face blossomed, but he pretended to be modest and said: "Big brother, how embarrassing this ------ is."
Li Yinglong glanced at him and said: Excuse me? That's okay, then give it to the fat ball.
Hearing this, Fat Ball said happily: Yes, give it to me, I'm embarrassed.
Brother Ning glared at the fat ball and said, "you, go over there, go over there, pout and cool down."
After that, he quickly put the five pieces of silver that Li Yinglong gave him into his arms.
When the three of them walked to the entrance and exit of a small alley, they suddenly heard a woman's cry for help from the inside of the alley: Help, the gangsters are indecent.
