On the fifth night, I sat at the counter of the coffin shop and played with my phone. Since there are no guests here, I am naturally not polite when I go to work, and I have been playing on my phone and watching movies. At this time, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside, and I quickly looked up and found that it was an old woman who had walked into the house at some point.

She was dressed in a black cloth dress, but she was wearing a pair of bright red cloth shoes under her feet, this old woman must have put on makeup, and her face was very white and white, almost as white as a cement wall. Although the old woman was weird, I felt very excited, after all, there was finally a guest. After the old woman came in, she carefully began to look at the coffins, and she didn't say anything about each coffin, but also touched it to see how it felt.

What is this for? See if it's comfortable to fall asleep later? Old woman, I didn't say it, when you live in it in the future, you will definitely not feel it at all.

The old woman looked very carefully, and she was in a circle to inspect the coffin, and soon she checked the coffin next to me. The middle-aged beauty was still sleeping inside, and the old woman didn't care at all, and put her hand on the middle-aged beauty's face and touched it.

The middle-aged beauty is like sleeping dead, and she doesn't move.

The old woman stood up at this time, and she asked me, "Your coffin here...... Is it for the living, or for the dead? ”

I smiled and said, "Grandma, how can the coffin be used by a living person, this is my colleague, she is just tired and sleeps in it." ”

But the old woman didn't seem to hear me, and asked me, "Is your coffin here for the living or for the dead?" ”

"Dead people." I said.

She nodded, and then went out, baffling me. Curious, I went out to take a look and found that the old woman was gone, which made me a little nervous.

How is it possible for an old woman to walk out of this street in a matter of seconds?

There must be oddities.

I didn't dare to care too much, so I sat at the counter and continued to play with my phone. But only ten minutes later, the old woman came back. I noticed that she was a little different this time, that her feet seemed to be on her tiptoes a little, and it was not correct to say that she was walking like a ghost, because the ghost was tiptoeing harder, and she was just tiptoeing a little bit.

She looked at the coffin boy carefully, repeating the previous action, and when she walked next to the middle-aged beauty, she squatted down again and touched the middle-aged beauty's face, which was exactly the same severe pain as before.

Then the old woman asked me, "Is your coffin here for the living or for the dead?" ”

I immediately became impatient: "For the dead." ”

She nodded and walked out again. I went out again to take a look, and found that the old woman was gone again. I had a vague feeling that something was wrong, so I sat and stared at the door, trying to see if the old woman would come again.

A few minutes later, she came again, this time on her tiptoes, and I watched her do the same thing, and then heard the same question.

This time, I changed the answer: "For the living." ”

Immediately, the old woman laughed, she smiled so heartily that her mouth was completely cracked, revealing a mouthful of incomplete teeth, and she said that she was going to buy a coffin.

I asked, "Which one do you want to buy?" ”

The old woman pointed to the coffin where the middle-aged beauty was asleep and said, "That's it." ”

"Oh."

I lifted my foot and kicked on the coffin, and with a bang, the middle-aged beauty was immediately awakened. She sat up and glared at me angrily, and I shrugged my shoulders and said, "If the guest wants to buy a coffin, buy this one you sleep on." ”

She nodded, then turned to the old woman and said, "Five yuan." ”

This...... Only five dollars?

I've been here for five nights, and now I've finally sold a coffin, and it's only five dollars?

How can I be paid for this price?

I saw the old woman take out a small red purse and pour out a bunch of coins from it. My God, it's a piece, it's a pentagram, it's a dime, and there's a crumpled dime note. How is this possible, I have heard that in the big cities, dime bills are no longer available, and even coins are not wanted.

But the middle-aged beauty still counted it very seriously, and after taking five yuan, she returned the extra money to the old woman, but the old woman babbled and said that it was all for us, and there was no need to look for it.

I don't think I've made any money, and it's estimated that it's only about six yuan in total.

After that, the old woman walked out of the coffin shop directly, and I curiously went out to look again, and there was no doubt that she had disappeared again.

At this time, the middle-aged beautiful woman said to me: "I heard that you have a lot of strength, drag the coffin to the back and burn it, remember to put the money in it and burn it." ”

I was stunned and said, "The guests have all bought coffins, and they still want to burn them?" ”

"Let you do it, you just do it." She said impatiently.

I didn't bother to pay attention to her, so I dragged the coffin to the back room, which was empty, there was nothing, and I was not afraid of causing a fire when I burned something, and there was a bottle of kerosene.

I poured kerosene into the coffin, tried to stain every inch with kerosene, and then threw all the money in it, and lighted it a little.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the whole coffin was ablaze, and the middle-aged beautiful woman came over at this time, she knelt beside the coffin, and there were words in her mouth, and I listened hard, as if she was chanting a scripture.

And when she was chanting, she put her hand on her neck, which was the strangest part of the nightdress, and she protected it tightly. When she finished reciting the scriptures, the coffin was just burned to ashes, and she asked me to clean it.

I cleaned it up, and threw the ashes into the garbage bin at the corner of the street. After that, I went out a few more times to see it, only to find that the old woman had not reappeared.

The middle-aged beautiful woman pushed another coffin and put it next to the counter, lay down in it and continued to sleep. I was curious and asked, "Why do you have to sleep in a coffin?" ”

"Because the coffin needs me, and the guests need me." She said calmly.

I said again: "The old woman touched your face several times just now, but you didn't wake up, and I kicked the coffin, and you woke up immediately, what's the matter?" ”

Her voice was still very cold: "Because some people are very gentle, and some people are unqualified and very rude." ”

I cut and asked what I've been most concerned about these days: "You...... You wear this nightdress every day, isn't it dirty? ”

This sentence seemed to hit the pain point of the middle-aged beauty at once, she glared at me and said seriously: "I sleep without sweating!" ”

"But it's still dirty, it's disgusting to think that you've been wearing this nightdress for so many days, and never washed it."

She rolled her eyes, lay down in the coffin and went back to sleep, ignoring me. I was bored and didn't continue to speak.

When the sun came out, I stretched, kicked the coffin to get the middle-aged beautiful woman up, and then took my umbrella and walked towards the door.

And when I got outside, I was so frightened that I called out Mom.

Next to the door of the coffin shop, a person hanged himself!

And this person is the old woman who came to buy the coffin yesterday!

How can it be...... How is this possible...... Yesterday I had been staying in the coffin shop and could not hear the slightest movement, and it was impossible to say that with my strength, I would hang myself a few meters away without letting me find out!

The middle-aged beauty came out to take a look at it at this time, and she said calmly: "You go back to rest first, I will deal with this matter." Rest assured, the old woman hanged herself and has nothing to do with us at all. ”

I said that I wanted to watch it for a while, but I was harshly chased away by the middle-aged beauty.

That's really ...... It's incredible.

After returning to the dormitory, I immediately told Lin Wenwen about the incident, and she said that she had not studied Dao deeply enough to understand what it was. So I asked Gongzhizhou, and he also said he didn't know, but recommended me to ask Zhao Liang.

Finally, Zhao Liang asked me to ask Chen Ziyin, and he said that Chen Ziyin must know what was going on, because among their group, Chen Ziyin knew the most about Taoism.

I asked Chen Ziyin with the mentality of giving it a try, but he quickly replied to me: "I have a little impression, according to your clues, can you play with your mobile phone there?" And it's not easy for middle-aged women to get out of bed, are they? ”

"Yes." I said quickly.

"Then wait for tonight, you can text and communicate with me, and I'll help you take a look, it's not ordinary."
