The middle-aged woman was full of gratitude, grabbed Luo Xuyan's hand, and choked up and couldn't speak.

Luo Xuyan freed up a hand and patted her shoulder comfortingly, "Go quickly, don't delay a good hour." I'm just doing it with my hands, and I don't take any money from you. ”

"Thank you, thank you." The middle-aged woman led the family to bow to Luo Xuyan and thanked her, and then she gathered people and lifted the coffin out of the funeral.

Luo Xuyan dusted off the dust on her dress, she was patronizing to help the deceased clean up just now, and unconsciously there was a lot of dust and weeds on the skirt, and the originally good-looking skirt now looks pitiful.

She did her best to clean up as much as she could, and then washed her hands.

Turning his head, seeing Cui Jing looking at herself, Luo Xuyan said: "I patronized and did things, I didn't care about the dress, I soiled the skirt you carefully prepared, I'm sorry......"

"It's okay." Cui Jingshi raised her hand, picked up a piece of grass from her hair, and said, "I can't wear this dress, so I can give you another one." ”

"Do you only give one at a time?" Luo Xuyan touched her chin, "The saint sent three pieces at once......"

Cui Jingshi laughed heartily, "You can choose as many skirts as you want in the future." ”

Luo Xuyan smiled, to be honest, Cui Jingshi's vision for picking clothes is really good, just like the moon-white skirt this time, which is very much in line with her preferences.

"Go wash it too." She said: "Otherwise, the people of the capital will see the dignified prince wandering on the street with a disgraced face." ”

"Okay." Cui Jing should say and wash his hands.

After the two finished tidying up, they came out of the yard and saw that the neighbors had dispersed, but there were still two or three people standing at the gate of a courtyard, watching the family chatting.

Luo Xuyan raised her chin, "I'll go and ask them for questions." ”

"Hmm." Cui Jingshi followed.

Luo Xuyan came to these people, and they all clearly saw how this little girl cleaned up and bought a new coffin, so that the man could be buried with dignity, so they didn't feel bad luck with her, but admired her very much.

"Little girl, you have a very good heart." An aunt nodded and said, "And the guts are really too big, I've lived for fifty or sixty years, and I've never seen a girl more daring than you." ”

Luo Xuyan smiled and said, "Auntie, I have something I want to ask you. ”

"Just ask." Aunt said.

Luo Xuyan asked: "Who did the white things in this house, and where did you buy the coffin, do you know?" ”

"It's all made by the shops on the street over there." The aunt said: "His family's things are cheap, and we are not rich people, so we can only find this family for funerals." Who knows, they rely on us to have no money to find a better one, and they are more and more fooling people, and they actually use this kind of coffin to deceive people, which is really unconscionable! ”

Luo Xuyan frowned and listened, and asked, "When did they start fooling people?" ”

The aunt looked back at each other with the neighbors, and then said: "It's been about three or five years, alas, it's not that they don't know that the man of this family has worked hard all his life, saved the money he has saved with great difficulty, bought a house, and lived at least a life without worrying about food and drink...... Alas, there are orphans and widows, and there is an old man, none of whom can earn money, how will they live in the future? ”

"I think you can only sell your children to a big family to be a subordinate, and at least the money you earn won't starve to death, right?"

"Oh, what a sin!"

"Lost and deceived, no one went to them for a theory?" Luo Xuyan asked again: "I see that this family doesn't seem to dare to go over. ”

Aunt said: "They have the thugs in this area to take care of, who dares to go to them for a theory?" I'm afraid I'm going to be beaten up. ”

"Yes, didn't the old Wang family go to them before? There is actually a lot of tattered paper in the paper money, can this be burned for people underground? Another person answered: "And the ones sold that year were quite expensive, so I went to them to theorize, who knew that they were beaten severely, and the gangsters even came to the door arrogantly to smash it, so that everyone could only swallow their anger, and when choosing things, try to look carefully, and not buy inferior goods." ”

Luo Xuyan nodded, and when she glanced at Cui Jing, she asked puzzledly, "Why don't you go to the government to complain?" ”

The aunt shook her head and sighed, and said, "Just a few gangsters, and they were beaten to death, so the government is too lazy to care about this little thing." ”

"......" Luo Xuyan looked at Cui Jing again.

Cui Jingshi also sighed.

Luo Xuyan nodded and said, "Thank you, auntie, please tell this family, I will come to them again in the next two days." ”

"Looking for them, this is ......" The aunt looked at Luo Xuyan's dress and said, "Look at what you are wearing, the family is quite wealthy, do you want to take his children away and be a subordinate?" ”

"Miss...... You're a good person, but they probably won't be too willing to let their children do your job......," the other said hesitantly.

People have always been prejudiced against the profession of doing white things, feeling that they touch the dead and have bad luck.

Luo Xuyan was used to this kind of thing, and said with a smile: "No, there are other things to discuss, and it is not to ask them for coffin money, which may be a good thing for them." ”

When the aunt heard this, her eyes lit up, "Okay, I'll tell them when they come back." ”

"Okay." Luo Xuyan said: "I'm sorry for you." ”

The aunt waved her hand, "It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome, it's just a matter of saying something." ”

Luo Xuyan nodded to her aunt again, and then went to the last coffin shop with Cui Jingshi.

After crossing a street, they found this shop on the corner, and there was a tattered, gaudy, strange-shaped paper figure at the door, and two large white lanterns hung under the eaves, but the lanterns were beaten by the wind and rain, and the white paper was yellow and dirty, and there were still a few holes in it, and the wind blew and "rustled".

Luo Xuyan stood at the door and looked, and found that there were several young men sitting in the corner of the wall not far away with their necks bent and their hands in their hands, smiling playfully and with frivolity on their faces.

When they saw her, the young men's eyes suddenly lit up, as if they had seen a wolf of their prey, and they rubbed their hands.

Cui Jingshi coughed lightly and stood beside Luo Xuyan.

The young men who were about to come forward suddenly stopped and looked at Cui Jing with some fear.

He should be about the same age as them, but the cold temperament exuded by his body made them feel inexplicably afraid.

They hesitated and did not dare to come forward.

Luo Xuyan continued to look at the shop, the door panel was not fully opened, and there was even a piece hanging diagonally, which might collapse at any time.

Cui Jingshi asked, "Do you want to go in?" ”

"Isn't that what we're here for?"
