"Master, where are you going to carry me? Master...... I'm so miserable...... "I was dizzy, and I was even more dizzy by the master's bumps, but I felt that the master walked very fast, out of the wild woods, and walked directly to the road ahead.

I shouted countless times, complained countless times, and even more so countless times to die and live, but the master didn't even respond to me with half a sentence, just rushing, the night is still night, the moonlight is still hanging in the void, the previous moment and the next moment, there is no difference, but the moment before me, and the moment now, there has been a earth-shaking change, at first the master moved the people to lead the master to appear and get rid of it, but now it's good, the ghost has not been removed, I was almost eliminated by the ghost.

"Huh? Master! There's a farmer in front! "I was in a drowsy when I suddenly saw someone sitting not far in front of me, and hurriedly called out to Master.

"You're in the mood to see the scenery now?" Master replied nonchalantly, almost choking me to death.

"Master...... I'm dying of pain now, can't I find something else to distract me? Besides, now that I can speak normally, can you just let me down and help me untie the rope? "I begged Master, as long as you untie the rope for me now, let me do anything, even if I scratch the strangulation marks on my neck, even if I am asked to reduce my life span by ten years, I am willing, just because the strangulation marks on my neck really cost me my life.

"Do you think that as a teacher, he just wants to carry you on his back? The teacher is also tired now, just drew a talisman to exorcise ghosts, and once again borrowed the law to act, and now the teacher is about to collapse, but for the life of your child, the teacher has to hold on, if you untie your rope now, you can only watch your child commit suicide. The master turned his head angrily and glanced at me, and walked straight to the front gate of the village.

knocked on the door, and before the master could shout, he saw a gap in the heavy door slowly staggering, which ...... This meant that the gate was not latched, and the master hesitated for a moment, pushed the door open and walked into the courtyard.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, my heart suddenly beat wildly, because in the middle of the courtyard, there was a coffin, a large black coffin, and the end facing the gate was the foot of the coffin, with a big "lay" written on it in a miserable white color.

The master didn't pay attention to the coffin, but walked around to the main door, the strange thing is that the door is actually open, and when he got closer, he found that this main gate, only half of the door, one is missing, the master stopped at the door, and did not mean to go in, but freed one hand to straighten his clothes, and knocked on the half of the door, and said: "The pedestrian passing by your store, dare to ask where the shopkeeper is?" ”

The door was not closed, and the master was still asking such nonsense, you must know that I am almost uncomfortable to death now, isn't this torturing me?

After asking, Master knocked on the door again, and then stopped talking, and I immediately couldn't stand it anymore: "Master, there is no response at all, we won't just wait, right?" ”

"So what else can I do? We can't get in until the owner opens the door. Master replied with a light sigh.

"But there's only half a door here, and it's not closed at all, to be exact, so why are you standing at the door? Master, go in and help me untie the rope, I beg you, now I feel like I'm going to die......" I begged Master, almost speaking with the last breath of my life.

"As the teacher said, you can't die now, and besides, aren't you still alive and well?" Master looked at me seriously and asked me very seriously.

I was immediately speechless when asked by the master, but where did I live a good life, it was clearly the rhythm of dying.

I was grinding with the master, only to see a faint yellow light slowly lit up in the inner hall of the store, and at the same time as this bright light lit up, I suddenly saw that in this hall, there was also a row of large coffins, some of which had been painted black, and some had not yet been painted, and some had not yet been assembled.

Sure enough, there is a coffin shop in front of the deserted village, but where the deserted village is, Master and I haven't seen it yet, maybe because it's dark.

A rickety old man, hobbling with a kerosene lamp, walked out step by step, and when I got closer, I saw the old man's wrinkled face, sallow and sallow, and those expressionless eyes, which seemed to be not at all strange and unfazed by the arrival of my master and me.

"Pick it up, come in and talk." The old man walked to the coffin shop, put the kerosene lamp away, and then turned back to the master and said a strange word.

I just wanted to ask the master what is a pick, how to enter the door and what to pick, only to see the master nodded, waved his hand and slapped the placket of his clothes, and raised his foot and stomped on the ground, then walked into the threshold, it turned out that this is the old rule of the coffin shop, generally people in this kind of business, the most afraid of someone visiting at night, because the coffin shop is heavy in yin, it is easy to attract foreign lonely souls and wild ghosts to patronize, the so-called picking, is to bring the lonely souls and wild ghosts outside, not let them in.

There is also a saying in this, the saying that has been handed down in ancient times, the use of the threshold, can block all evils, people cross the threshold easily, but the ghost can not cross, because the ghost can not leave the ground, the richer the family, the higher the threshold, which is also the meaning of representing the dignity of the identity, but about this, let's not say.

The old man first looked at me in surprise, then pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Sir has come from afar, please sit down and rest, and I will pour you tea." ”

The old man in the coffin shop is really a strange person, it seems that I was carried by the master like this, for him, it is not strange at all, even that look of surprise is fleeting, the master is not polite, put me down to the ground, turned to sit down, took a slight breath, and then said to the old man: "The old man is not busy pouring tea first, can you do me a small favor, I need a big bucket of hot water now!" ”

"There is hot water, I'll go and boil it for Mr., Mr. rest, and it will be boiled soon." The old man politely invited Master to sit down, and shook off his old steps and walked out of the room.

I hurriedly shouted to Master, "Master, can you untie my hands now?" I'm dying of pain! ”

"Not yet, wait until the hot water is ready." Master glared at me, and then said, "Ergou, we are no better than the outside now, let you talk nonsense, you can't have no rules, you have endured such a long journey, do you still care about such a short period of work?" Bear with me! ”

"But......" I muttered for a moment, and then sighed deeply.

glanced around, and finally stopped at the statue of the god enshrined above the case, it seems to be a statue of Luban, think about it, Lu Ban is the ancestor of the carpenter in the world, but everything that has something to do with the carpenter's life is basically dedicated to the ancestor of Luban.

By the way, since the villages around here have become deserted villages, why does the old man still live here? Why didn't he move out? Also, how good will business be if you open a coffin shop in a deserted place here? It's better to go to the county seat or town.

After a while, the old man walked in with his sleeves rolled up, smiled at the master and said, "Sir, the hot water is boiling, is there anything else you need my help with?" ”

"Thank you old man, but I still need two things, I wonder if the old man has anything here?" Master asked with a polite smile.

"Oh, if I have it, I'll give it." The old man smiled and nodded.

"A bowl of glutinous rice, a piece of hemp rope." The master said simply and clearly, thought about it again after speaking, and then said: "The hemp rope is not an ordinary hemp rope, but a ......."

Master said, got up and walked to the old man's side, and whispered two words in the old man's ear, because the master's voice was very low, I didn't hear what he said at all, but my eyes were wide open, this whole coffin shop is the three of us, what else can Master not let me know? How strange is it, I stared at the old man's expression, first startled, and then he hurriedly looked at me, and then hurriedly looked at the master.

"This ...... Well, this one can be found as well. The old man hesitated for a moment, then nodded, turned around and went into the inner hall and brought out a bowl of glutinous rice to the master, then threw his sleeves and walked out, until he walked out of the gate, and did not know what he was doing, but the master turned around, lifted me up, dragged me out of the door, and put me down in front of the door of the stove house, next to it, there was a large barrel of steaming hot water that had been boiled.

"Master, this ...... Is this to let me in? "I can probably guess something, Master must be trying to find a way to help me heal the strangulation marks on my neck.

"Hmm." Master nodded, bent over me to untie the rope, and at the same time, Master hurriedly said, "After untying, don't scratch the strangulation marks on your neck again, the more uncomfortable you are, the more uncomfortable you are, the more you want to scratch until you scratch the flesh and flesh and bleed to death, after untying the rope, you immediately take off your clothes and jump into the barrel, and first soak the strangulation marks on your neck with hot water, you know?" ”

"Oh......" I resisted the urge to scratch, and quickly pulled off my clothes and jumped into the barrel as Master had just untied me.

I just wet my neck with hot water, and suddenly it hurt so much that I grinned, I didn't expect the strangulation marks on my neck to soak in hot water so painful, carefully, I touched my neck with my hand, it's okay not to touch, this touch almost scared to pee, I only felt that the blisters of beans were all over my neck, around my neck half a circle, touching it with my hand is a blister-like thing, but what it is, I can't see it, and I don't want to see it, I'm afraid I'll be more scared after I see it.
