Chapter 50: Hidden in a Coffin
Chapter 49: Hidden in a coffin
When Qin Meiniang saw it, she was also instantly frightened, and she couldn't help but shout, "Ah! There are dead people in this coffin, good, so terrible......"
Liu Feng immediately closed the lid of the open coffin again, grabbed Qin Meiniang and said seriously:
"Mei Niang, don't be afraid, it's okay, isn't it just a dead person! Fear not. “
At this moment, a middle-aged man in a brown robe suddenly appeared, he was dressed as a carpenter, he was the owner of this coffin shop, and he immediately asked Qin Meiniang and Liu Feng:
"What are you two doing in my coffin shop? Why are you moving my coffin and screaming? Seeing that you are not very old, and you did not carry the dead, it is not like you came to buy a coffin, what is the reason why you came to my shop? “
Liu Feng immediately hugged his fists and said:
"Under Liu Feng, I came to your coffin shop today, in fact, I was instructed by someone, otherwise, the two of us would not have come to offend."
Qin Meiniang also immediately said:
"My name is Qin Meiniang, we were asked by the queen mother to come to your coffin shop, she said, you will find a way to let the two of us go out of the city, that's why we came in, not intentionally to offend you."
The owner of this coffin shop looked at Liu Feng and Qin Meiniang carefully, and then said seriously:
"Oh, I'm the owner of this coffin shop, it turns out that the queen asked me to help the two of you, that's right, the queen mother came to my coffin shop to find me before, and when I talked about you, I promised her to help you two go out of the city, but what I can't figure out is, who are you the queen mother? Why would she be so sad about what happened to the two of you? Also, with her status and dignity, she could have easily sent you two out of the city, why did she let me find a way to send you two out of the city? ”
Liu Feng then said:
"It's not a secret, in fact, I have nothing to do with Mei Niang and the queen mother, but before Mei Niang was arrested by Wan Qing, and happened to be bumped into by Niangniang, so she saved her, since then, Niangniang has helped us again and again, no, before I and Mei Niang were arrested by Wan Qing, and we were rescued, the reason why she didn't want to take us out of the city directly, I think it's because the goal is too big, and it's easy for Wan Qing's people to hunt us both behind, so she made this decision to let you help us go out of the city."
The owner of the coffin shop nodded, and said with a look of surprise:
"Oh, then the two of you are really blessed with a great fate, you can still be rescued by the queen mother if you are captured by Wan Qing, and you can also let the queen mother help the two of you again and again, you are really blessed, according to common sense, it is impossible for this queen mother to do everything possible to help people who have nothing to do with her, since I promised her, then I will send you both out of the city safe and sound."
Qin Meiniang then asked:
"Boss, how are you going to get the two of us out of the city?"
The owner of the coffin shop then stretched out his hand and pointed to the coffin beside him and said:
"I only have coffins in this coffin shop, and I have to send several coffins out of the city every day, so you can rest assured that you can get both of you out safely."
刘峰 says:
"Boss, do you mean to let us both pretend to be corpses, and then you can transport us both out of town?"
Qin Meiniang then said:
"So, what if the guards at the city gate want to open the lid of the coffin to inspect it?"
The owner of the coffin shop couldn't help but smile and said:
"Don't worry, I only have a coffin shop to transport the corpses out of the city, but they are all people who have died of serious illness, that is contagious, every time I go out of the city, those guards are far away, the guards at the city gate will not open the coffin lid to check, besides, I can use my two-layer coffin for you, you two hide in the lower layer, I put a corpse on the upper floor, then even if the guards at the city gate want to check, then they can't find you, so, you two, please rest assured, the queen mother explained my affairs, I'm sure I'm going to have to do it, no. “
Liu Feng hugged his fist and said:
"That's a lot of work, thank you!"
Qin Meiniang was also full of gratitude:
"Then thank you, boss, for bothering and taking risks."
The owner of the coffin shop smiled and said:
"Okay, let's not say polite words, besides, the queen mother has given me silver, and the affairs of the two of you are my own affairs."
Liu Feng then asked:
"And when are we going to get out of town?"
The owner of the coffin shop replied:
"Right now, send you two out of the city, I still have to come back to work, send you out of the city early, and you will be safer."
Qin Meiniang nodded and said:
"Well, the sooner you get out of town, the better."
The owner of the coffin shop immediately lifted the lid of the coffin beside him and saw a male corpse inside, his face black and festering.
"You two come and help me, lift this corpse a little, and when you both are in the lower floor, I will put the upper corpse down, and then I will prepare a carriage to take you out of the city." The owner of the coffin shop said seriously.
Qin Meiniang and Liu Feng immediately stepped forward, ready to help carry the corpse on the upper floor of the coffin.
As soon as I got close to the coffin, a pungent smell came to my nose.
When Qin Meiniang saw the corpse in the coffin, she was immediately frightened, and asked:
"Ahh Boss, you said that these dead people are all seriously ill and will be infected, so will Liu Feng and I be infected if we hide inside? ”
The owner of the coffin shop immediately said seriously:
"Don't worry! This deceased committed suicide by taking poison on his own, not from a serious illness, so it will not be infectious, and you can hide it in peace. ”
Hearing the words of the owner of the coffin shop, Qin Meiniang was a little relieved.
"Come, let's lift the corpses and boards on the top floor of this coffin, so that you two can hide on the lower floor." The owner of the coffin shop said.
Qin Meiniang and Liu Feng immediately nodded.
刘峰 says:
"Okay, let's carry it together."
After finishing speaking, the three of them immediately started to slowly lift the upper body and plank of the coffin, and after lifting a gap, the lower layer of the coffin could be seen, and the owner of the coffin shop immediately said:
"Quick, you two hurry up and go to the lower level, and I'll cover the upper layer with corpses and planks, and you two will hide it, and when you get out of the city and you're in a safe place, I'll release you again."
Liu Feng immediately said to Qin Meiniang:
"Mei Niang, you go down quickly, I'll come later."
Qin Meiniang then slowly stood on the wooden bench on the side, and walked towards the lower gap of the coffin, and after standing on both legs, she slowly squatted down and shrank her whole body into the lower layer of the coffin.
After seeing Qin Meiniang enter the lower layer of the coffin, the owner of the coffin shop immediately said to Liu Feng:
"Quick, you get in too."
Liu Feng nodded and said:
"Okay."
After speaking, Liu Feng also stood on the wooden bench, and slowly got into the lower layer of the coffin, and the owner of the coffin shop immediately pushed the upper plank of the coffin and the corpse on it into place, completely covering the lower layer of the coffin.
