Chapter 61: The Funeral of a Rich Man
After that incident, Erwuxuan went out of business completely, and although Li Chenfeng still occasionally heard people talk about it, it eventually disappeared from the city completely.
Of course, it is not known whether there is a second Erwuxuan in other places.
On Sunday afternoon, Luo Wei took Li Chenfeng's "reward" into the mall and squandered it, while Li Chenfeng was forced to stay in the bookstore to look after the store, the business in the store has not been very good recently, and there are no customers even on weekends.
He was sitting in a rocking chair at the door and napping, when he suddenly felt some itching on his ankles, and he opened his eyes lazily, and it turned out that there was a skinny black cat at his feet.
Li Chenfeng has liked this kind of small animal since he was a child, so he reached out and wiped its head, this cat is not afraid of people at all, lying on the ground and starting to roll, Li Chenfeng noticed that it only has three legs, and one of its forelimbs seems to have been crushed by something.
"Hey, what a pathetic little thing."
Looking at its skinny skin, it should have been a long time since it had eaten.
Li Chenfeng yawned, lazily got up from his chair, walked into the store and took out the leftover lunch box.
"It's not a good thing, and you're going to fill your stomach."
The kitten didn't dislike it at all, and ate it in a big gulp, Li Chenfeng smiled slightly, and continued to lie on the chair to enjoy a leisurely afternoon.
I don't know how long I have been lying down, the mobile phone suddenly beeped, Li Chenfeng clicked on it and saw that it was a text message from Taozi.
said that an old friend of his father in the business world died suddenly yesterday, and he wanted to find a better mage to chant in the past, but in these years, scammers account for the majority of the mage industry, and even if they pay a large price, they may not be able to invite the real one, so Taozi recommended Li Chenfeng to him.
After going through the previous few events, Li Chenfeng was already a god-like figure in Taozi's eyes, and he felt that this little thing was a piece of cake for him.
Li Chenfeng thought about it carefully, this kind of over-chanting is the old business of selling dogs, and it should be the most suitable for him to go. So Li Chenfeng wanted to recommend him to the past, and called him, who knew that Zhang Selling Dog, the master who can usually spare lice, actually didn't have time today, Li Chenfeng thought about it, since he was Taozi's father's friend, he had to be a business tycoon, and the reward for him to chant excessively must be very attractive, and it happened that there was no business in the bookstore in the past two days, and it was not bad to make extra money, so he replied to Taozi's text message.
After that, he asked Zhang for the Taoist scripture that he used last time, thinking that this money-making deal would be won.
The next day, Li Chenfeng deliberately found a decent black suit, and passed according to the time and place said in Taozi's text message.
I thought that the business tycoon would hold a funeral, so he had to choose a good location, not to mention the luxury car, at least it had to be more decent, but their funeral was held in a villa in the suburbs.
Maybe it's because this business tycoon is relatively low-key, it seems that there are not many people who come to attend the funeral, and the time is almost up, but there are only five luxury cars parked at the door of the villa, and I don't know what the reason is, even Taozi's father didn't come.
In order not to lose face in front of these rich people, Li Chenfeng got out of the taxi when he was still some distance from the villa, and then walked to the door, although the trick was a little clumsy, but he thought about how to hide the fact that he didn't have a car.
He walked to the door of the villa with his head held high, smiled slightly and said to the housekeeper at the door: "I'm sorry, I am the mage invited by Mr. Zhang to chant the scriptures." ”
The housekeeper said politely: "Mr. Li Chenfeng, Mr. Li, please come in." ”
He had just taken a step towards the door when he felt something tugging at his trouser leg.
"It's you."
Li Chenfeng was stunned at the little thing behind him, it was actually the three-legged black cat yesterday.
Seeing this, the housekeeper hurriedly picked up the black cat.
"I'm sorry Mr. Li, this is my lord's favorite pet before his death."
Li Chenfeng looked a little surprised, it turned out that it was not a stray cat, but why did a rich man's pet cat become like this?
Li Chenfeng didn't think much about it, nodded to the housekeeper with a smile, and then walked into the courtyard of the villa.
After entering, he learned that the deceased Mr. Zhang was a relatively conservative person, and he told his family before he died, saying that he hoped to be buried after his death, and he would be buried in the ancestral grave of the family.
Li Chenfeng followed everyone into the mourning hall, and at this time, two men and a woman in mourning clothes came to meet them, according to what Taozi said in the text message, this should be the two sons and one daughter of the deceased Master Zhang, all three of them are young and promising, and now they are all characters who can turn the clouds and rain in the shopping mall.
"You are Mr. Li introduced by Xiao Tao."
Among the three of them, the eldest is a fat man with a wide body and a fat body, but he looks very kind on his face. The second child is a typical rich and handsome style, but he doesn't seem to be very friendly. The third child had a sad face, although he was the youngest of the three, he already had a lot of white hair on his head, and with his special demeanor, he looked like a resentful woman in the deep palace.
It was the boss who spoke, Li Chenfeng nodded politely, and then shook hands with him.
"The matter of my father is troublesome to Mr. Li, he was very concerned about this matter before his death, and he hoped that Li Chenfeng could do his best to send his father away quietly, which can be regarded as a wish of our children."
"At that time, naturally, since I took over this matter, I will definitely handle it well."
According to the rules, Li Chenfeng needed to chant three times during the entire funeral process, the first time was before the funeral banquet began, the second time was before the coffin was sent out, and the third time was before the coffin was put into the ground.
According to their arrangement, the funeral banquet is today, but the burial is tomorrow, which means that Li Chenfeng has to stay here for one night tonight.
In fact, Li Chenfeng himself is not very clear about these cumbersome processes, after all, his so-called master is actually only a half-level, but he doesn't care at all, because he only cares about one thing, that is, how much he can get paid after the funeral, before the funeral banquet started, he wandered around the villa for most of the day, but in the end he was still embarrassed to ask others.
Before the funeral banquet, Mr. Zhang's relatives and friends went to the coffin one by one to say goodbye to his body, and then they all left the mourning hall to have dinner outside, leaving Li Chenfeng alone to chant in the mourning hall.
In the past, Li Chenfeng, who was guarding next to a corpse at night, didn't have the guts, but after experiencing those things some time ago, and facing such a situation, his heart could be said to have no waves.
Li Chenfeng methodically sat down cross-legged in front of the body, and then took out the "Taishang Xuandong Lingbao Saving Suffering and Pulling Out Sins" from his bag and began to recite it. After about ten minutes, a person suddenly walked in outside the mourning hall, it was Master Zhang's daughter.
As if ignoring Li Chenfeng's existence, she slowly walked to the coffin, and then put her hand inside.
Li Chenfeng felt a little surprised, but at this time, he couldn't have acted as if he hadn't seen anything.
"That...... Miss Zhang, this is a great disrespect to the body. ”
