"If you want to find death, I will fulfill you!" Enraged by my counterattack again, Boss Bear turned around and continued to chase after me and slash. I don't even have any weapons to defend myself at this time, so I can only dodge everywhere, embarrassed.

"Bang! Boom! ”

"Still stop?"

"How dare you go wild in front of us?"

With two loud noises and two angry rebukes, the two city guards at the top of the cave finally rushed over, and at the same time threw two ghost fireballs again. One of them hit Boss Bear in the shoulder impartially.

Boss Bear was hit by a fireball but only shook it, and it looked like it was harmless. It's thundering, but if you don't leave at this time, it's really annoying. So after hesitating for a moment, it gave up the idea of continuing to chase me, and turned and ran away with a belly full of fire. The two guards followed closely behind.

I was out of danger and hurried to the man who had been thrown to the wall by the bear boss to check on him. Sure enough, it's Tian Lao Lu!

The poor old man was speechless with his hands on his throat, his face was pale, and his eyes were closed. Obviously, Boss Xiong's hand was too strong just now, and he pinched his throat, and I am afraid that he will not be able to speak again.

I sat Tian Laolu up and let his head rest on my arm. But suddenly, I felt a warmth on my arms and a wet sleeve. When I reached out and touched it again, the palm of my hand was stained with a viscous red liquid, which was blood!

It seems that his most serious injury is not in his throat, but in the back of his head, which should have been broken by the wall when he fell just now. I quickly put the new cloak on the back of the old man's head and covered the wound that was still bleeding.

Tian Laolu's throat was "hmm", his face was as pale as white paper, and the wrinkles on his face were trembling constantly, obviously suffering from great pain. His eyelids struggled to open, trying to see who the person in front of him was, but he couldn't say a word.

I looked at his flickering gaze and knew that he was already back in the light at this time, and he couldn't see people clearly for a long time, and I couldn't help but start to burst into tears.

Tian Laolu lived to be over ninety years old, and lived in this Yin City for most of his life, and he always said that he would die in this Yin City if he was willing to go back to the Yang World. However, no one expected that he would die miserably in such a way, and he didn't even survive the end of his life!

Although he is a roommate, he is old and respectful, and he is like a grandfather in my mind. I really can't bear to let him go, and I hope he can live a few dozen more years. But in the end, he still lay in my arms and swallowed his last breath, and then his body slowly became cold, and he died.

I was heartbroken and roared in the sky!

At this moment, the clock on the top of the cave rang the bell of the sub-hour, but it seemed to be a death knell specially sounded for Tian Laolu!

Just one day after the opening of the Longevity Hotel, the happy event turned into a funeral. In order to do the funeral for Tian Laolu, Teng Shuli suspended the business of the hotel the next day, removed all the lanterns and streamers from the previous day, and replaced the wreath with white. What was originally a jubilant scene turned into a lifeless mourning hall in a blink of an eye.

Tian Laolu has no descendants, according to his last wishes, we no longer bother to send him back to the sun to be buried, so we simply buried his ashes under a tree in the backyard of the Longevity Hotel, so that he can see the luminous fish raised in the pool at any time in the future.

I was alone in the dormitory to clean up the relics of Tian Laolu. The old man has been a bookkeeper in the Longevity Hotel for more than 50 years, and he also manages his own things properly. How much money has been saved for the elderly, how many precious stones and strange stones have been collected, valuable clothes and supplies have also been listed, and even a few luminous fish have been recorded in a private account book.

And on the last page of this account book, he even prepared a copy of the will in advance, which was sandwiched in the back cover. After working hard for half a century, the old man saved a total of 12,000 Yin Yuan, all of which were stored in the Teng family money village in Shangcheng.

The will was written a long time ago, and the numbers have been deleted. Most of the money he planned to use to build a nursing home in Zuoqiu City, and he specially took in lonely and widowed old people like him who didn't want to go back to the yang world and couldn't find a job to do in the underworld.

No wonder he kept saying that he planned to die in Zuoqiu City, it turned out that he really even chose a place to retire, and the money to build a house was ready. It's just that he never imagined that he couldn't wait for the time to achieve all this.

But to my surprise, he actually handed over the responsibility of supervising the construction of this project to me!

The shopkeeper Teng Shuli has been with Tian Laolu for thirty years, and he is also aware of his plan. Teng Shuli read the will, let out a long sigh, and said to me: "You see, my name was written on his will before. He also came to me about this, but I was too busy to say yes. Maybe because of this, and because he thinks you are the most trustworthy to him, he later changed it to your name! ”

"But I often have to go out to dart, how can I help him build this nursing home?" I said with a sad face.

"There's no hurry." Uncle Teng persuaded me, "Anyway, the money Lao Tian saved is definitely enough, tomorrow I will take you to my eldest brother, and ask him to help find some workers to build the most basic houses first, and the rest will be talked about later." This just happens that the reconstruction of the Longevity Hotel is over, and it should not be a big problem to arrange the original team to build a few more huts. ”

I didn't know much about these things, so I had to follow Teng Shuli's advice.

And just as I was dealing with the relics, I saw the blood-stained cloak again, and my mind was suddenly confused, and a few pictures flashed, and I immediately figured out a few questions that I had been unable to figure out before.

When I took the initiative to go to Xiao Jiuhe to settle accounts, I borrowed the old cloak of Tian Laolu to make a disguise, and finally left it in Xiao Jiuhe's ghost refining shop. And Boss Xiong must have found out that Xiao Jiuhe had been killed after eating the advertising ghost at that time, and his two subordinates who were being refined were also scattered. In a fit of rage. It thought that the owner of the old cloak was the one who killed its men, so it waited for an opportunity to take revenge.

Because Tian Laolu has been living in the Longevity Hotel and rarely goes out, he simply went to Shangcheng to guard the warehouse for a year and a half, and he didn't give Boss Xiong a chance to meet him. Unfortunately, only a few days after returning to live in the lower town, he exposed himself in order to buy us wine.

Last night, Boss Xiong should have smelled the same smell on Tian Laolu's new cloak when he happened to pass by, so he suddenly decided to kill. It's a pity that Tian Laolu was mistakenly killed by it because of this.

Alas, in the end, I am still to blame for being careless!

If I hadn't left Tian Laolu's old cloak at the scene, Boss Xiong wouldn't have suspected Tian Laolu's body. So at the end of the day, it was actually me who hurt him!

After figuring out the ins and outs of the whole thing, I felt even more sad in my heart, feeling very guilty and regretful. However, I can't let Tian Laolu lose his life in vain! In my anger, I secretly swore that I would avenge him!

After finishing the funeral, Teng Shuli took me to his eldest brother Teng Boli to discuss the matter of helping Tian Laolu build a nursing home. Teng Boli also said that this matter was not difficult, so he agreed to it, saying that he would send someone to go with me to see Tian Laolu to find a good place, and then discuss the specific construction plan.

In addition to being in charge of the caravan of the trading house, Teng Boli was also the head of the Teng family in Zuoqiu City, and he was also extremely angry about this kind of subordinate being killed by ghosts for no reason, so he promised me that he would definitely report it to the higher authorities and ask for the investigation to the end.

So a day later, Teng Boli took me to the city lord's mansion to find the deputy city lord of Yin Fa, who was attached to the Teng family, and complained to him about the matter.

Yin Fa looks like a middle-aged man with excellent maintenance on the surface, with white skin, neat clothes, a big back hair combed and shiny, and the suit on his body is also hot and straight. His slender ten fingers were covered with various rings, and he smoked a large pipe and drank red wine, all in a delicate Western style.

Zuoqiu City is full of people, and the age level is also very open, there are young people in their twenties like me, and centenarians like Bu Ye who were born in the last century, so the clothes of the city residents are also varied. I grew up doing dirty work, so I wore sportswear everywhere, or jeans and a T-shirt.

Buye and Tian Laolu are more nostalgic, and the clothes they wear are still the old-fashioned cloth clothes of the right side, and they are also wearing flat-soled black cloth shoes. There are more nostalgic people in the ghosts, but they are wearing Zuo Zhen's longevity clothes to show the difference between yin and yang.

But whether it is a human or a ghost, there are few people like Yin Fa who are completely Westernized in terms of dress and taste, even if his actual age is more than two hundred years old!

Yin Fa listened to Teng Boli's complaint without moving, and listened to my description of what happened that night, and did not express his position immediately, but closed his eyes and thought silently.

Neither Tenbury nor I dared to disturb him, and we were nervously speculating on his final attitude to the matter.

A quarter of an hour later, Yin Fa suddenly opened his eyes, stood up and said to me, "You come with me!" ”

I glanced at Tenbury in a daze, wondering why I was only named by name.

Teng Boli kept giving me a look, telling me to hurry up and follow Yin Fa. I didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and hurriedly followed Yin Fa out of his office.

Yin Fa strode around the City Lord's Mansion. It is divided into the front building and the back building, the front building is the office area for dealing with the city's government affairs, and several deputy city lords usually work and discuss here. The back building is where the lord of Zuoqiu City lives, and there is a fine small garden between it and the front building.
