"The Salesperson of the Shroud Shop"

Chapter 10 Shroud Shop

In a secluded alley behind the Second Hospital of the Medical University, Wu Yu saw this strange storefront for the first time. Because I had never experienced the death of a loved one before, it was the first time I knew that there was a shroud shop.

Xue Hao led the way in front with a big grin, Chu Xintian followed behind him with a heavy face, Wu Yu took two steps to catch up with Xue Hao: "Dude, what does the shroud shop sell, making clothes for the birthday star?" ”

Xue Hao smiled: "It's for the birthday star to make clothes, but this birthday star is over." Wu Yu looked at Chu Xintian in confusion, and saw that she seemed to be thinking about something and didn't react: "The birthday star is dying, isn't that a dead person?" Dude, you're not going to make clothes for the dead, are you! ”

Xue Hao nodded: "The clothes are all from the manufacturer, we are just responsible for putting the dead on them, and then helping the deceased's family organize the funeral." In these years, there are too many people who know how to do weddings, business is not good, and there are not many people who know how to get the funeral, so we can still deal with life. ”

As he spoke, he arrived at the door of the shroud shop, Wu Yu always felt that the places where the dead did things should be ancient and mysterious, but as soon as Xue Hao opened the door, Wu Yu's first impression was: This is a pet shop? Trendy fashion stores?

There were many mannequins in the cupboard, and after Xue Hao turned on the LED lights in the room, Wu Yu saw the so-called shroud for the first time. Under the light of the lights, all kinds of popular clothes are displayed in front of Wu Yu, and the most exaggerated thing is that there are wedding dresses here.

Seeing Wu Yu's appearance in a daze, Xue Hao smiled: "I also have to keep up with the trend, there are always trendy and rich relatives who want to make their family more glamorous when they leave, so my friends and I got some new styles of clothes to buy together, and the sales are not bad." ”

Wu Yu looked blankly at the coat in front of him that was the same (the same sports brand) he was wearing, and couldn't help asking, "Is this good?" ”

Xue Hao handed over a cigarette: "What's wrong, people in ancient times wore gorgeous clothes for the dead, and some emperors and marquis even wore clothes made of jade!" I heard that Cixi Lafayette was buried in extremely gorgeous clothes, and if our store only sells those ugly traditional shrouds like other shroud shops, it is estimated that the store will be yellow. As he spoke, a huge flower cat quickly came out of the corner and sat on Xue Hao's shoulder in a few steps. A pocket dog with a big snow-white slap ran out of nowhere, barking milkily at Chu Xintian's feet.

On a fake pine tree next to the counter, an eagle of unknown breed was staring at Wu Yu with its sharp eyes, and Wu Yu's heart was furious.

On the counter, a tortoise the size of a basin was holding several renminbi in its mouth, and in front of it dozens of coins of different denominations had been sorted and stacked together. A big rooster with bright coat and blood-red cockscomb was standing on the coffee table with soybeans spelling patterns, Wu Yu almost fainted just by looking at it, and the rooster actually spelled out the word 'Wu Yu' with soybeans.

Xue Hao smiled proudly: "I raise some animals with my friends to play, this cat is much more powerful than the one you died, my father has been raising it for 30 years, and he only asked me to come over recently." Tiantian's pocket dog was bought by a friend, don't look at this dog so big, but the general Tibetan mastiff is not easy to fight. Last time, the dog fought with the Tibetan mastiff bought by Xiao Song next door, and he was stunned to beat the Tibetan mastiff to his knees and beg for mercy, and when he saw it, he shook his head and tail. That Wang Ba was raised by Yu Chen, I don't know how many years he has lived, and no one said how old he was when he bought it. That thing is all fine, and when you see money, you will be energetic, and you have to understand it. I have to carry this thing on my back if I want to spend some money, and if he sees me spending money, he will definitely bite me. ”

Wu Yu nodded, and said in his heart that the animals raised by these people are also strange! Xue Hao pointed to the eagle and the chicken again: "The eagle was caught by me from the mountains, and it was originally intended to be raised and played, but after being taken by Yu Chen to do a few experiments, it became like this, like a housekeeper." Last time, a guy came to the store to steal something and let the eagle cut off a few pieces of meat alive. The chicken was stolen by me and Yu Chen in his grandmother's chicken coop, it was supposed to be stewed, but I didn't expect this chicken to be weird, I knew that I wanted to eat it, and immediately used soybeans to put out the words 'spare my life', and then Yu Chen and I arranged for it to be placed on the coffee table, if it wasn't for attracting more customers, Yu Chen and I would have stewed it. ”

Wu Yuxin said that you are really thoughtful, if I have such precious pets, I will go to the street in the morning to perform and open a woolen shroud shop!

Chu Xintian picked up the white pocket dog and said, "Xiaobai, go and bring me my bag." ”

Wu Yu thought Chu Xintian was joking, not to mention taking things for such a big dog, it seems that it is difficult to walk by himself, besides, can this dog understand human words?

As soon as Chu Xintian put down the dog named Xiaobai, the little dog barked at the eagle on the fake tree a few times. The eagle, who had been staring at Wu Yu, flew into the inner room with a flap of its wings after hearing the dog barking. After a short time, the eagle flew out with a small yellow backpack, flew in front of the little white dog, put the bag on the ground, and flew back to the fake tree, continuing to stare at Wu Yu.

The little white dog bit the strap of the backpack and wagged its tail to hold the backpack in front of Chu Xintian, Chu Xintian smiled and picked up the backpack: "You will really save trouble!" ”

Wu Yu looked at the little white dog, and then pointed to the rooster on the coffee table: "Can the animals you raise understand human speech?" ”

Xue Hao shook his head: "Not all, most of them still rely on training, the instinctive reaction of animals plus the results of long-term training, of course, there are some animals that can understand the meaning after our transformation." ”

"What's up with that rooster, how does it know my name." Wu Yu was most surprised by this rooster, it was amazing enough that it could spell words with soybeans, and it was a bit strange that it could spell his name.

Xue Hao smiled mysteriously: "There are some things that can't be explained, just like if there are really ghosts in this world." It is said that he exists, but what the so-called heavenly eye sees is nothing more than a cloud of mist of different colors. Saying that he doesn't exist, but there are some things that make you have to believe that he exists, as if the so-called ghost person will tell some things about the ghost before his death, and the living person doesn't know about the dead person at all. ”

Wu Yu nodded as if he didn't understand: "Also, if you have to trace everything back to the source, you may not be able to find the answer in your life, and it is rare to be confused." ”

Chu Xintian didn't seem to care about the conversation between the two people, walked to the cupboard, and casually took a yellow casual coat and put it on her body: "I'm ready, in addition to summoning spirits tonight, I may have to put on a formation, I have a bad premonition, the things on Sister Xiaoxi's body will rush tonight." ”

Wu Yu looked at Chu Xintian dumbfounded, that dress seemed to be sold in the cupboard, then it should be a commodity, that is, a shroud!

Xue Hao looked at Wu Yu's dumbfounded look and smiled: "After wearing it for the dead, it will be buried, and we will wear it before wearing it, anyway, no one will care if this dress has been worn or not." ”

Wu Yu came to his senses: "Isn't there any taboo at all?" ”

Chu Xintian was amused by Wu Yu's appearance, and couldn't help but laugh, and the two men who looked at this smile were slightly stunned. Chu Xintian gives people the feeling of being glamorous and enthusiastic, which will not make people feel a sense of distance, and this smile is even more kind, like a flower blooming in spring, which makes people can't help but take a few more looks, and there will be no bewitching feeling.

"Taboo is the understanding of ordinary people, and if it were really taboo, I guess I wouldn't open this kind of shop. Borrowed from Chen: Ghosts and gods are a science that we do not understand, which is both real and a combination of reality and fantasy. So there is nothing taboo to do, the doctor is not taboo when dissecting the dead, not to mention that these new clothes are not worn by the dead, they are just intended to be sold to the dead. ”

Wu Yu blushed a little when Chu Xintian said it, no big girl is taboo, but she is taboo, and she is indeed a little bit like a man.

Xue Hao walked to the counter and took out a fruit knife from the drawer: "I'll just take this guy and that chicken is enough, if this chicken doesn't fucking attract souls tonight, let's eat chicken stewed mushrooms tomorrow." ”

The big rooster seemed to understand Xue Hao's words, flapped his wings twice and jumped off the coffee table, ran to Xue Hao's side and rubbed Xue Hao's trouser leg with his neck like a puppy, as if he was intimate with Xue Hao.

Xue Hao put the big flower cat on his shoulder on the ground and pointed at the big flower cat: "Stay at home!" Tomorrow morning, I will go to the vegetable market and find a way to mix breakfast. The big cat seemed to glance at Xue Hao with disdain, turned his head and entered the back room.

Chu Xintian took a handful of soybeans from the coffee table and put them in her backpack and said, "Mr. Wu, you have to summon spirits with us tonight, I can tell you first, this conjuring is not as simple as in TV, and people who are not strong in yang will be very dangerous, you better go home and take care of Sister Xiaoxi first!" ”

As soon as Wu Yu heard Chu Xintian say this, his heart began to itch, and he said seriously: "Doctor Chu, call me Wu Yu!" I can't help Xiaoxi's situation when I go home, I'll go with you! I also want to see your skills, and I can brag to my friends in the future, I am in business, you let me see the world, and I can help you do more business in the future. ”

As soon as Xue Hao heard that Wu Yu would be able to give him a job in the future, he hurriedly smiled: "Dude, you take this, as long as it is on you, let alone summoning a soul, even if you summon the soul of the Jade Emperor, it won't hurt half of your hair." As he spoke, a bracelet made of nine black beads was handed to Wu Yu.

Wu Yu looked at the string of beads in his hand, like a stone not a stone, like a jade not a jade, thinking about what kind of treasure it should be, and quickly put it on his left wrist. The right hand kept stroking, as if picking up a treasure.

Chu Xintian frowned when she saw Wu Yu's happy appearance, walked to Xue Hao's side, and whispered in Xue Hao's ear: "Didn't you harm him by giving him the ghost food beads?" Nine at a time, are you trying to kill him? ”

Xue Hao smiled and whispered with the face of a profiteer: "I'm not harming him, I'm just asking him to bring us some business." This ghost eats beads and just recruits some little ghosts, nothing serious. Don't tell him, if he knew I made it out of dead man's bones and dead jade, he wouldn't have it. ”

Chu Xintian glanced at Xue Hao with disdain: "You're not afraid of retribution?" Where do dead people's bones come from? ”

Xue Hao smiled: "I'm not afraid of retribution, in order to make this string of beads, the last time Yu Chen and I held a funeral, we picked up a little bit from outside the cremation oven for a long time after cremation." ”

Chu Xintian looked at Wu Yu: "It seems that he is destined to be defeated by you!" ”
