Chapter 458: Waiting for Death
The person in the coffin shop said impatiently, "Didn't I tell you? Come back tomorrow, can't understand people or what's going on? ”
I didn't talk nonsense to him, and just kicked the door open. There were two people inside who jumped out of bed naked.
I calmly walked into the house and said, "I'll buy the coffin." I can't wait for tomorrow, and I'm in a hurry to die tonight. ”
The boss was so frightened by me that he pointed to the backyard and said, "You can pick one yourself." ”
I staggered over, picked a coffin at random, and carried it on my shoulder.
When I was about to walk out of the door, the boss finally couldn't help it and said, "Hey, you haven't paid for this coffin yet." ”
I looked back at him and said, "Look for the old man just now." ”
The old man said with a sad face, "Why me again?" ”
I patted him on the shoulder: "You help me put on the mat first, and when I finish my work, I will definitely give you benefits." ”
The old man didn't want to pay for it, but he didn't dare not pay for it, so he finally thought of a way and said to the owner of the coffin shop: "Keep the account first, and I'll give it to you later." ”
I'm too lazy to get involved with them. Carrying the coffin and putting it on the tractor. Along the way, we bought incense candles, paper money, wreaths, and shrouds. This time, the old man and Chang'e no longer had any doubts. It seems that I am really ready for the future.
The old man didn't understand my strength, and his attention was all about why I could predict life and death. And Chang'e knows me better, she is not sad, but confused, and I don't know why I did this.
I didn't explain much, and urged the old man to hurry back to the village.
On the way, I patted him on the shoulder: "Thank you for this coffin today, if someone bullies you in the future, tell me, I will definitely help you." ”
The old man trembled, and drove the car swaying: "Tell you? Burning paper to tell or dreaming to tell? ”
I smiled, "Isn't it up to you." ”
The old man is not a village cadre, and he does not have an official position. But like to take care of things. As a result, I didn't think about it, and I took the big devil to my home.
The old man's wife has been dead for many years, and the children are out of town. So the house is only for himself. I honestly and unceremoniously arranged their house to look like they were going to be funeral, and the old man who watched it had a burst of pain.
I smiled at him embarrassedly: "Elderly people are taboo about this, right?" ”
The old man sat in his chair, his face sad, but did not speak.
I scratched my head and said, "Actually, people have a certain lifespan. Not in this. "Although I swear by what I say, it is clear that the old man does not believe it. I had no choice, so I had no choice but to say, "Otherwise, you go to the neighbor's house to take refuge?" I'll vacate this place for you when I'm done? ”
The old man said with a sad face: "Then won't I become a murderous house here?" ”
Seeing that I couldn't explain it left and right, I had to sigh and say, "Old man, this matter is basically harmless except for a little trouble for you. And when it's done, I'll definitely make it up to you. If you don't agree, don't blame me for taking a chance. ”
As soon as the old man heard my tone aggravated, he immediately obeyed, didn't let out a single fart, and walked away.
Chang'e looked at the old man's back, and said with some unbearability: "Isn't it good for you to do this?" ”
I sighed, sat down in my chair, and said, "There's no way, I'm running out of time." That's all there is to it. ”
Wen Yu stood in front of me and said, "I always wanted to ask you just now, so decent, why did you handle the aftermath for yourself?" Don't tell me you're going to die, you're already half an immortal, and you can't die. ”
I smiled bitterly: "It stands to reason that my yang life will not be exhausted so easily." But what if someone wants to kill me? ”
Chang'e raised her eyebrows: "Who wants to kill you?" ”
I sighed, "Who else?" ”
Chang'e said: "Is it an evil thought? ”
I nodded: "This kid has to come sooner or later." Now King Jizo and Musou have both returned. Evil thoughts grabbed me and asked me about the whereabouts of the peachwood sword, it would kill me, but if I couldn't ask, I still had to kill me, so I simply bought a coffin and prepared it first. ”
Chang'e said a little anxiously: "Is there no other way?" Let's go and inform the king of Jizo, and if we are with him, there will be no way to do evil thoughts. ”
I shook my head: "King Jizo can save me for a while, but he can't save me for a lifetime." So, he went back to the underworld, and I can understand that. Now, I just wait for the evil thoughts to come to me, and then die in front of him, so that I can stop his thoughts. The world will be peaceful. ”
Chang'e looked at me dumbfounded: "Does it have to be like this?" ”
I nodded, and pulled out a piece of wood from the paper money I had just bought. I took the old man's kitchen knife out of the kitchen, and began to cut the piece of wood, cutting it into a peachwood wedge.
I handed it to Chang'e: "After a while, the evil thoughts will really come." The two of us won't be able to stop it. Because as soon as he appears, he will inevitably be followed by the wizard and the old black. When the time comes, you're going to stick your peach tree vertebrae into my heart. The soul is scattered, leaving no trace. ”
Chang'e took the peach wood spine, and tears fell down: "You can't die, you're lying to me, right?" ”
I waved my hand: "You just do what I say." ”
Chang'e shook her head again and again: "The wizard is our child, he won't kill you." ”
As soon as I heard this, my head jumped: "Don't talk about this now, is it done?" You wait next to me. When I'm dead, hire a few people and bury me. ”
Chang'e was crying vigorously at that point. And I closed my eyes, and I couldn't see the stillness of my mind. He covered his ears again and tried not to hear a sound.
I sat in the main room and waited with Chang'e all night. Evil thoughts never appeared.
I felt a little uneasy in my heart, could it be that my plan had been seen through?
By the time dawn, I was exhausted from waiting. At this time, a person suddenly probed his brain outside the door. I was tired all night, and my confused brain immediately tensed, and then I yelled and ran outside.
The man shrank his head in fear and slipped away quickly. I didn't think much about it at all, I jumped out of the wall and intercepted him.
When I got to the outside of the wall, I couldn't help but be disappointed. This man is not an evil idea at all, nor is he a genius or an old black, he is an old man who helped me buy a coffin.
I was disappointed: "How are you?" ”
The old man trembled and said, "I wanted to see if you were dead." I'll help you with the funeral. ”
I patted my chest: "Don't worry, live well." Then I sighed: "I didn't die yesterday, and I'm afraid I'll have to spend a day at your house today." You take care of it again. ”
I saw the corner of the old man's mouth twitch, and then he stubbornly said, "What, can you please help us buy us something to eat?" ”
I saw the old man go away with a sad face. He thought to himself, "Yesterday he wanted me to live, so that their house would not become a murderous house." Now he's afraid he's hoping I'm dead. After all, it's better to have a house than no house. ”
Another day passed. Nothing happened this time.
Chang'e and I were drowsy, lying on our stomachs on the table, and stayed up all afternoon.
The evening finally came again. We put out the lights, lit the candles, and tried to make it as eerie and ghostly as possible.
Chang'e and I restrained our breath. Soon, there were many wandering lonely ghosts in the courtyard. Those who do funerals will definitely burn paper money and pay tribute. The imp is very willing to join in the fun.
It's just that today the situation is a little different. Chang'e and I sat motionless in our chairs like two dummies. The imps saw that the coffin was empty, and that the paper money had been placed on the table in a few stacks but it was not burned. The tribute is even more pitiful, it is simply what Chang'e and I eat during the day.
The imps started a fire and a whirlwind blew in the yard to scare the two of us. We looked at them with contempt and dismiss.
The whirlwind formed by the imps gradually moved in the direction of the house, and it seemed that it had the intention of swallowing the two of us. However, just as they approached the door. Now the little ghost suddenly dispersed.
Chang'e said strangely: "Why did they leave? ”
I picked up the peach wedge from the table and stuffed it into Chang'e's hand: "They ran away because something scared them came." ”
