Chapter 2: Stygian Coins
In the end, I was woken up by Li Ban's blindness.
"Lao Li? How did you come back so quickly? ”
I sat up from the bed yawning and rubbed my eyes, feeling tired, as if I hadn't slept all night.
"It's been three days, is it still fast?"
"Three days?"
When I heard him say this, I was so scared that the sleepy insects ran away.
"Did you say you've been gone for three days? I slept for three days? It can't be, right? ”
"You can't do it." Li half-blindly turned around and walked towards the door, waved his hand back and said, "Get up quickly, come down and look for me." ”
I ignored him and picked up my phone on the bedside table, which showed the date number 11.
And the day Li half-blindly walked away on the 8th.
"Really three days?"
I yawned again, wondering if I could sleep for three days and three nights.
"Xia girl, don't rub it off, come down quickly."
Li Ban's blind voice came from downstairs, and he wouldn't have urged me so much if he was fine, so I didn't delay much, got up and washed up, and then changed my clothes and went down.
"Lao Li, what are you asking me to do in such a hurry?"
Although he said that he was my master, I always felt that he was lying to me, so I rarely called him Master.
When I went downstairs, he was in the coffin shop with a cigarette in his mouth and a drawing in his hand.
He held a cigarette and spoke a little slurred, "You haven't learned to make a coffin since you woke up, and I just happened to have time to teach you recently." ”
"You have bad eyes, didn't you say you won't make coffins?"
Although he opened a coffin shop, most of the coffins here were shipped from elsewhere for resale, just because he had bad eyes.
Now I suddenly say that I want to make a coffin, which naturally finds me strange.
"It's bigger than the list." He raised his eyebrows triumphantly, his dark eyes shining, "Five figures." ”
"Wow, so much? Is it for your brother's child's medical treatment? ”
Although Li Banblind is single, he is still very considerate to his family.
"Don't be too troubled."
He threw the cigarette butt in his mouth in the ashtray, ran it over, stared at the drawing in his hand, squinted, and didn't know if he could see clearly.
"Actually, we have money."
"Where's the money?"
He and I are clear in our hearts about the business of this shop, it is only enough to support our family, and the rest of the expenses are far from possible.
So I told him about last night, including the 200,000 yuan, of course.
Li Banblind's eyes widened when he heard this, and he didn't react when the drawings in his hand fell to the ground.
"You, put makeup on the dead? Or did it come into existence when it was a child? ”
"Yes, yes." I looked at his face a little frightened, and I couldn't help but feel a little weak, and took two steps back before whispering, "The family is in a hurry, and the money given is too much, and I can't shirk it, so I took it." Anyway, you didn't say that I can't put makeup on the dead, hey, this is a card, I've seen it, it's indeed 100,000. ”
I took the card out of my pocket and handed it to him.
He silently accepted it, stared at the card for a long time, and then asked, "What about the cash?" ”
He had a bad tone, and I thought he was afraid that I would be greedy for his money, so I went upstairs and took down the black box with 100,000 cash in it.
"Here you go, that's all, I haven't touched a penny."
Li stared at the box blindly, squatted down, opened the safety buckle of the box, and his voice was uncharacteristically cold.
"You'd better not move."
As soon as I heard this, my heart was slightly depressed, and I was about to open my mouth when I saw him open the box and reveal the banknotes inside.
Grandpa Mao, who was originally red, has now turned into a piece of dark coins.
Although it is also red, the concepts of the two are very different.
"How, how so? When I opened it before going to bed, it was still Grandpa Mao's, how could it become a dark coin? ”
My eyes widened in disbelief, 100,000 cash was gone, and my mind was suddenly in chaos.
Li stared at the whole box of dark coins blindly, not saying a word.
I was even more puzzled when I saw it.
"Could it be that the other party put medicine on the box, and when I opened the box, I was hit, so I fell asleep, and they took the opportunity to sneak in and exchange the real money for the dark coin?"
"Yuxia, tell me, did you paint that person with dead man's makeup, or ordinary makeup."
Li Banblind suddenly asked me, the low voice was different from usual, and there was an inexplicable chill mixed with the depth.
