Chapter 381: The Strange Man Who Bought the Coffin
(Cat flutter Chinese)
"What to quarrel about, what to quarrel about!" There was a spicy sound from inside the door, followed by the sound of the deadbolt being dragged down.
Old Song Tou's face was embarrassed, and a rare look of fear appeared, and he said curtly
"Ahsan is back, and he has brought two guests!"
"Ahsan is back!" The voice inside the door suddenly raised its pitch, the door creaked open, and a strong figure rushed out, bent down and scooped up Ah San, pressed it directly on his fat chest, rubbed and rubbed, and scolded
"You have no conscience, do you know how to come back?"
"Release, release!" Ahsan struggled for a moment, but the fart was useless, and finally gave up and let it be rubbed.
This is the first time I've seen Ahsan eat deflated, and he will be paralyzed without love, and the hair on the top of his head will be rubbed and sparse.
I took this opportunity to look at the woman in front of me, she must be 1.8 meters, tall and strong, at least 200 pounds.
She was wearing a very dirty coat, a flower cotton jacket on top, black cotton pants on the bottom, and a pair of large cotton shoes on her feet, which was more earthy than ordinary rural women.
The same thing as Lao Song Tou is that his face is an iron blue, which is similar to the corpse in the open air.
After rubbing it for a while, the woman let go of Ahsan, glanced at me, and nodded at Ahsan's head
"This is the guest you brought?"
"Yes!" Ahsan took the opportunity to get out of the woman's broad bosom, jumped on my shoulder, and said
"This is my brother Xie Yin!" After speaking, he stretched out his paw and pointed at the woman
"Xie Yin, this is my sister-in-law, surnamed Gu, you can just call her sister-in-law Gu!"
"Sister-in-law Gu!" I screamed. Sister-in-law Gu looked at me for a while, just like Old Song Tou, a strange emotion flashed in her eyes, but she didn't say anything, just nodded procedurally.
"Wangcai, Wangcai!" After the introduction, Ahsan slipped off me, got into the store, and shouted loudly, looking at its eagerness, I knew that it was hiding from my sister-in-law.
"Come in and sit!" Sister-in-law Gu and Old Song Tou glanced at each other, exchanged glances, and stretched out their hands to give way.
I'm not polite, and I walked in with Fu Qingsi, the store was similar to most funeral supply stores, and the shelves were full of paper people.
Passing through the front door, the back room is a spacious hall, and an old dog who is about to lose his hair is lying on the sofa, chatting with Ahsan.
It's just that Ahsan is speaking human words, and the old dog responds with a wow. Like now, Ahsan asked
"Wangcai, why are you old like this?"
"Wang!" Wangcai screamed weakly.
"Wangcai, don't you have any offspring?" Ahsan asked again.
"Wow!" Wangcai's dog face showed a look of disgust, and barked twice, as if to say, don't you have no cubs?
Seeing me coming, Ahsan said with a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth
"Wangcai, let me introduce you to a new friend, this is my buddy, Xie Yin!" Wangcai glanced at me, sniffed, stretched out his paw to me, I reached out and shook it, and for a while I didn't know how to speak, do I want to say
"Hello Wangcai, I am Ahsan's brother, from today onwards, are we also brothers?"
"Wang!" Wangcai screamed, leaned his head over with the strength of my hand, sniffed me carefully, and asked, a strange emotion flashed in the eyes of the dog full of vicissitudes, and his head rubbed against my body.
"Hello!" I spit out two words in embarrassment, as I did with rhubarb, scratching Wangcai's brain, and Wangcai snorted comfortably.
"If you scratch it, you will be bought, there is really no bottom line!" Ahsan pursed his lips, leaned back on the sofa, and said
"Sister-in-law Gu, I'm hungry, get me some food!"
"Didn't you just finish eating?" Old Song Tou glanced at Ah Sang suspiciously, and said
"You ate the most just now!"
"I haven't eaten my sister-in-law's cooking for so many years, I want to eat!" Ah Sang squinted at Old Song Tou and asked
"What, do you have an opinion?"
"I haven't seen you for so many years, and your other skills haven't risen, it's just that this cheek is getting thicker and thicker!" Old Song Tou snorted and sneered.
"You are not much better with each other!" Ahsan said-for-tat.
"Okay, I haven't seen each other for so many years, and I quarrel when we meet!" Sister-in-law Gu raised her eyebrows, and Old Song Tou and Ah Sang were silent.
Sister-in-law Gu glanced at the two guys again, and walked back through the hall
"I'll go stew chicken, get some wine, and have a good meal later!" I'm a little confused, whether it's Lao Song Tou or Sister-in-law Gu, these two people are not people, but whether they talk or do things, they are all human beings.
Can a person eat, but can a corpse eat? Even if you eat it, you can't digest it. Not only that, but this hall was warm and warm, and I looked around and found a stove, is it possible that the corpse is also afraid of the cold?
Fu Qingsi obviously didn't adapt well, her face was not very good, her head was lowered, and she didn't know what she was thinking!
"Sit down, I'll fight it!" Old Song Tou threw down a sentence and followed.
"It's okay, it's all here, just stay at ease, things have a result, let's go!" I patted Fu Qingsi's hand and comforted softly.
"Hmm!" Fu Qingsi nodded and said
"Sister listens to you!" I clapped her hand again, and didn't say anything, but looked around me, there was nothing in the hall, a shabby sofa, a dark purple cabinet, and some materials for paper-tying people.
Wangcai is really old, and the skin on his body is very loose, especially the dog face, which feels very strange, with a lot of folds on it, just like when people get old.
It was very close to me, its head pointed at me, its eyes narrowed, and it let my hand run over its body, and after a while it let out a slight cry.
Ah Sang rarely didn't make trouble this time, lying next to Wangcai, looking at the two of us, I don't know what to think!
just sat quietly, and after about an hour, Old Song Tou and Sister-in-law Gu walked in with a table.
On the table was a big casserole, and when Sister-in-law Gu opened it, a fragrance escaped, and even Wangcai opened his eyes.
Sister-in-law Gu greeted
"Come on, it's time to eat, little one who has no conscience, let you eat enough today!"
"Is there enough to eat?" Ahsan was silent, and only after a sentence did he jump off the couch and sit on the stool prepared for it.
Fu Qingsi and I also followed the table, there was chicken in the casserole, as well as some local specialties unique to the Northeast, I tasted it and quietly nodded to Fu Qingsi, and she moved her chopsticks.
Halfway through eating, Old Song Tou didn't know where to get a pot of wine, and we filled it up in turn, and even Wangcai had a cup.
Full of good wine, Lao Song Tou said with a little emotion
"Gathering is fate, come, let's do one!" I can't refuse this, besides, it's just a small cup of wine, at most a few dollars, and it's not a big deal to drink one, but the doubts in my heart are getting more and more.
Old Song Tou and Sister-in-law Gu were really eating, they both ate the chickens and vegetables in the pot, and they ate very fragrantly, and now they are drinking again, which is not at all like a corpse can do it.
After drinking one cup after another, fortunately, the wine jug is not big, and there are only two glasses per person. After drinking these two glasses of wine, Fu Qingsi's face was flushed, her eyes were a little confused, she was drunk.
It's not just her, I'm drunk too. I know very well what kind of alcohol I have, let alone two glasses of wine, even if I have ten more glasses of wine, I will not get drunk.
Before getting drunk, I found that Lao Song Tou and Sister-in-law Gu were in tears, as if they were crying, and Wangcai behind them made a burst of sobbing.
Unfortunately, I wanted to ask, but before I could say it, I got drunk. When I woke up, it was already dark.
I looked around and found myself sleeping in the same room I had had been in the night before, and then I looked at the time, eight o'clock in the evening.
Fu Qingsi was lying next to me, she was still sleeping, and it seemed that she didn't mean to wake up for a while. Ahsan was lying in its cat nest, his eyes wide, not knowing what to think!
"Awake?" Seeing that I was making a noise, it crawled out of the cat's kennel and came to me.
"What's wrong?" I noticed that something was wrong with Ahsan's mood, as if he was a little lonely, which was not like it.
"Nothing!" Ahsan shook his head and said to me
"Let's go, I'll show you Songjia Village at night!"
"There's a show in the evening?" I asked curiously.
"Of course!" Ah Sang nodded, and pointed at Fu Qingsi again
"Don't wake her up, let her sleep, no one in the village is trespassing!"
"What are Old Song Tou and Sister-in-law Gu?" I hesitated for a moment and asked. Ahsan tilted his head and thought for a while before he said
"You can treat them like corpses with unfulfilled wishes!"
"What about Wangcai?" I asked.
"It's a dog!" Ahsan replied as a matter of course.
"Got it!" I said that I understand that Wangcai is an old dog who has lived for a long time and is not old.
"By the way, before I got drunk, I seemed to see them crying?" I asked suddenly. Ahsan was stunned for a moment and said with a haha
"You drank too much, you must have read it wrong!" I didn't say anything, but Ahsan's words proved that I was right, they really cried!
I fell into deep thought for a while, why did they cry, and when I first met, whether it was Lao Song Tou or Gu Sister-in-law, or Wangcai, they looked at me with a strange gaze, as if they once knew me.
"Don't think about it, go, go out for a walk, there are some things that you can't figure out now!" Ahsan jumped on my shoulder and tugged at my hair, slightly impatient.
"Let's go!" I was a little helpless, and I knew from the way Ahsan looked that there were some words, some things, and he didn't want to talk to me.
The moment I pushed the door, the noise entered my ears, and the whole street was bustling, which was completely different from when I came yesterday, and the situation in the ghost market was also different.
I glanced at it briefly, and there were all dressed up, and they were just like normal people, shopping for groceries and eating snacks.
"Lively, huh?" As the flow of people walked forward, Ahsan asked triumphantly.
"It's really lively!" I kept looking around, and all the shops that were closed during the day were open, and unlike the shops of Lao Song Tou and Gu's sister-in-law, this street was either selling food or all kinds of playthings.
If it weren't for the cold aura emanating from the people around me, I would have almost thought they were human. Ah Sang led me out of the street and came to the coffin shop of Lao Song Tou, and to my surprise, there were quite a few people in the coffin shop, six or seven.
Three of us walked out just as we arrived, looking indignant and muttering about profiteers.
"This is pear blossom wood, what is the price, don't you know yourself?" As soon as I entered the store, I heard the cold snort of the old Song Tou.
"Let's see!" The people who wanted to buy the coffin discussed with each other for a while, threw down a sentence and left, and like the three in front of them, they muttered a word about profiteers when they walked to the door.
Old Song Tou didn't care, but greeted him and asked affectionately
"Sobered up?"
"Wake up!" I subconsciously nodded, pointed to the people walking outside and asked
"They're all dead, why do you have to buy coffins?"
"The coffin board is rotten!" Old Song Tou replied indifferently, and squirted a sentence in his mouth
"A bunch of poor ghosts, don't care about them!"
"Boss, is there a good Nanmu coffin?" As soon as I finished speaking, a gloomy voice sounded behind me.
Old Song Tou's face tightened, and he walked over
"Yes!" I turned around and saw a middle-aged man with a gloomy face, his eyes looking straight at me.
