Chen Mingshi was shocked and frightened at this time, roared lowly, and jumped up.

took a big step forward, but suddenly found that the corpse under his feet also came out.

With a scream, Chen Mingshi hurriedly ran forward, trying to grab the door and get out, and the dead body holding himself under his feet also crawled forward with him.

rushed to the door, and was about to push the door, but stopped again, still not daring to publicize the matter.

If this door is opened, and the housekeepers who sprinkle and sweep in the courtyard in the morning see it, this matter will not be covered.

Chen Mingshi clenched his gums, his scalp was numb, and his stiff neck struggled to look back:

The corpse was at her feet, and if she didn't run, she wouldn't climb with her.

"It's like... Don't hurt me... It was my fault at the beginning, and you can't repay me like this..."

Chen Mingshi said this tremblingly, but there was no movement in the corpse.

I don't know why I cheated the corpse so much, but I felt that the world was spinning and it was terrifying.

Chen Mingshi tried to lift his foot...

It's like I'm moving again!

As soon as I was startled and wanted to run again, I found that something was wrong: it was like a corpse, my fingertips were hooked on my trouser legs, and when I pushed the corpse, my skin and flesh were tight, and I felt that I was grabbing my trouser legs.

Shh

sighed, and after a series of fright, Chen Mingshi was about to dry up in a cold sweat.

Gently raised his hand to push Wanru's corpse away, trying to shove her back under the bed, but found that Wanru had words in her hand.

Formed by blood clotting and drying into the body:

"Why are you hurting me?"

Chen Mingshi's scalp is about to explode, it seems that he is really resentful, this is to redress his grievances.

The blood-red line of words was deeply imprinted in the palm, and it could only be seen when the palm of the hand was opened.

Thinking of something, Chen Mingshi had the courage to spread out like another hand:

"Don't go to Tongzhou!"

Five words, stirring people's hearts, shook the ground Chen Mingshi fell for a while.

What the hell is going on?

How did she know she was going to Tongzhou?

Chen Mingshi couldn't sort out his thoughts, and his brows were twisted into a ball of flesh.

"Knock knock!"

A knock on the door suddenly sounded from behind, Chen Mingshi was just when he lost his mind, he was so startled that his heart was about to jump out, and he subconsciously pressed the door of the house, and the cold sweat that had just been scattered covered his forehead again, and he asked in a low voice:

"Who!"

"Sir, it's me! What's wrong with you, I just heard you scream, are you okay? It's time for the maid to wash up! ”

It turned out to be the housekeeper Liu Ming.

Fear to the extreme is anger.

After being so frightened one after another, he didn't even get up in the morning before he got out of breath, and Chen Mingshi burst into his heart with a burst of evil fire, and shouted:

"Get out! Don't come in, don't bother anyone! ”

The gentle appearance of the soft voice of the scholar on weekdays, now it really looks like a killing god, Chen Mingshi yelled like this, and drank the housekeeper away.

When everything was calm, Chen Mingshi turned his head and looked at the people at his feet in the room, and his anger became more and more uncontrollable:

"Who told you that you were a Qinglou woman at the beginning, and now you have caused me so much trouble, I can't let you get better, I want to go to Tongzhou as an official, no one can stop you! You can't do it either, stay under the bed for me! ”

Unable to control his emotions anymore, Chen Mingshi roughly pulled up the body and folded it vigorously, and the bones of the corpse creaked with force.

Chen Mingshi slapped it over, then tightened the joints, stuffed them under the bed indiscriminately, and covered them with a mat, which was finally considered to be dissipated.

Sitting on the bed panting, Chen Mingshi's evil fire dispersed a little.

After sitting for less than a moment, he remembered something, stomped his foot, got up and walked out of the door, and went straight to the family's residence.

···

Inside Dongzhimen, abduction alley.

Kidnapping alley, a place of three teachings and nine streams, gags.

There is a coffin shop inside, where generations have been running the dead for a living, earning money for nothing.

The previous shopkeeper was called Bai Sanshi, who was quite legendary, and he was also known in the neighborhood.

I heard that he was from Hunan, and he made a living in feng shui in his early years, and when he went to Beijing, he repelled his peers, and experienced some strange things, and then changed careers and did the business of coffin shops.

Bai Sanshi was blind in his later years, and he died not long after.

Before he died, he had no children, but he recognized a righteous son and named him Bai Changsheng, Bai Changsheng was an abandoned baby, who was picked up on the street during the famine in Gyeonggi in the early years.

Bai Sanshi couldn't bear to see the baby die early, so he stayed by his side and brought it up, keeping it to fight.

When Bai Sanshi died, Bai Changsheng also took over the business of the coffin shop from his father.

Since childhood, he has followed his father, but he has learned a lot of face-to-face hexagrams, the ability to buy and sell business, he is honest and clever, and the neighbors have all looked for Bai Sanshi in fortune-telling feng shui before, and now they naturally recognize Bai Changsheng.

In his twenties, handsome and elegant, Bai Changsheng supported the shop alone, and he was energetic but did not marry a wife or concubine.

Although everyone likes this kid, they are all taboo about his profession, and this life event is delayed.

Changsheng is a gentle person, but he is not in a hurry.

The same is true today, after sprinkling and cleaning the coffin shop, he sits in front of the door, basking in the sun with a straw in his mouth.

"Mama Zhang is coming to visit the door?"

Sweeping her eyebrows, there was a woman in her thirties, tied her hair in a group, and she was a neighbor here.

Bai Changsheng naturally knew each other, and he usually had a good relationship with this Zhang's mother, so he made a joke.

It is also common to be in the market for a long time.

When Zhang's mother heard this, she rolled her eyes and spat out:

"Phew! Who has nothing to do with the coffin shop and look for death! While playing. ”

After finishing speaking, he left with the vegetable basket on his shoulder, Bai Changsheng smiled behind him, and then said:

"If you have nothing to do, you will be given a discount by the neighbors if you need it."

Zhang's mother stumbled and almost didn't fall, and said that this kid's mouth was too damaged.

turned around, took out a vegetable stalk, threw it over, and hit Bai Changsheng.

Bai Changsheng didn't hit it, but he hit Chen Mingshi in front of him.

"What are you doing! It's not light, it's not heavy! ”

Chen Mingshi blew his beard and glared, and said angrily at Zhang's mother.

When Zhang's mother saw that she had hit the wrong person, she was still a rich man who lived in Dongzhimen, so she was startled, turned around and ran away.

Chen Mingshi didn't care, and he wasn't in the mood to care, so he turned around and looked at Bai Changsheng and said:

"Boy, do you have a corpse rope here?"

Bai Changsheng had already seen Chen Mingshi and bowed, but he didn't say much, his expression straightened, and he reflexively returned to the coffin shop.

Leave the door a distance of one person's width inside, and wait for Chen Mingshi to come in.

Don't be invited, don't smile, don't ask questions, don't bargain.

This is the rule of the coffin shop, it is also common sense not to talk about obscure things during the day, and Bai Changsheng values the last one the most.

Chen Mingshi walked forward slowly, looked at Bai Changsheng and asked again, Bai Changsheng nodded, and didn't say much.

He took out a bundle of thick rope made of horsehair and shredded coconut from a small box and handed it to Chen Mingshi.

Bundle the corpse rope, the cold rope, take the coconut tree shell that grows in the shade and pull the silk, mixed with the mare's hair, can determine the evil ghost as a haunted corpse.

These are several methods of the coffin shop town store, Bai Changsheng learned from his father, so he prepared some in case of emergency.

However, I don't know what Chen Dacai mainly uses these objects for, I'm afraid that the industry is not big enough, and now that the living pit is finished, even the livelihood of robbing tombs and digging graves has to be mixed in?

I saw Chen Mingshi's brows furrowed, he checked the rope, nodded again, threw down a tael of silver and said:

"Don't ask too much, let alone say that the old man has been here."

Bai Changsheng looked solemn and nodded in agreement.

Chen Mingshi took the rope, turned around and looked around, saw that there was no one, and left quickly.

After he left, Bai Changsheng muttered alone:

"Coming to buy a bundle of corpse ropes in broad daylight? There is a scorn between the eyebrows, and the words are ominous, this rich man Chen is afraid that something has happened, right? ”

He shook his head, but didn't pursue it anymore. This eyesight sees people, all of them are learned from the old father, and the gossip on the face is also a little familiar.

Bai Changsheng picked up the broom and swept the ground, this is also the rule:

You can't keep the living people, this is what the old father confessed before his death, Bai Sanshi attached great importance to this back then, and said that if it wasn't so, the coffin would be spread to the cold place, and the calamity would follow the patron.

Although he doesn't know whether it's true or not, Bai Changsheng is also adhering to the tradition.

As he was sweeping, he suddenly saw a piece of white paper on the ground, crumpled, scattered in the place where the rich man Chen was standing just now, which must have been accidentally left by him.

Outsiders can't see what it is, but Bai Changsheng can see the origin at a glance:

This is the white paper used by the paper makers!

"It's not good, such a fierce paper, Chen Mingshi is in danger!"

Bai Changsheng picked up the piece of paper and put it in his palm, frowned deeply, and gasped and said.

As soon as he finished speaking, a ghostly light suddenly lit up behind him, and he suddenly turned his head to look, Bai Changsheng exclaimed:

"Father!"
