"Brother Lu, Brother Lu!" The man shouted as he ran. The voice was familiar, it turned out to be the lion's head. Ran up to me, panting and drenched in sweat.

I looked left and right and said, "It's the lion's head, why haven't you left yet?" ”

The fat man said "ouch", grabbed my arm when he came up, and howled: "Brother Lu, I really don't know that stupid man is a Taoist priest!" I wish I had known, even if I ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, I couldn't bring him here! You must intercede with your brother, we are also old acquaintances, we have cooperated for so many years, you can't ruin the relationship because of a big fool! ”

I busily broke his greasy hands away from his arms and said, "The bosses seem to be so angry that I can't speak." ”

The lion's head cried and sat on the ground: "Then what can I do, don't think about going to the door of your funeral home again in the future, thanks to that big fool!" ”

When I saw him like this, I couldn't cry or laugh, how old he was, he was still sitting on the ground and crying, comforting: "It's not so much, it's all to blame on the families of the deceased, you are just a middleman, and you don't know the inside story, you shouldn't be blamed." ”

The fat man cried: "Brother Lu, you have not been here for a long time, but you don't know. A few years ago, a colleague also accidentally brought a Taoist priest to the door, but both of them were thrown out with a broken leg. ”

I was curious and asked him if he knew why our funeral home was so taboo for Taoist priests to come to the door?

The lion's head shook his head and said, "Your funeral home has two rules, one is not to accept business during the day, and the other is that Taoist priests are not allowed to come to the door. ”

I was a little speechless and said, "It's good that you've broken both taboos at once." ”

The lion's head said in annoyance: "Alas, isn't this the high price of the customer, and the whole number is out." The pen pulled out three fat fingers like diced radish.

I asked, "Thirty thousand?" "That's pretty high.

The fat man shook his head and said, "It's 300,000!" I gasped. Damn, this is 300,000 yuan, I haven't even seen it, no wonder this dead fat man knows that the funeral home has a rule of not accepting business during the day, and he still comes to the door hard.

"Hey, it's all over this time!" The fat man pumped himself, grabbed my trouser leg and said, "Brother Lu, my lion head is all pointing at your funeral home, if this bowl of rice is gone, I will really have no way to live!" As he spoke, he howled with snot and tears.

I said I really can't help it, I have to go to the market to buy vegetables in a hurry, so I won't accompany me.

The fat man got up from the ground and said that he was familiar with this place, and took me to a good and cheap place to buy groceries. This fat man is very slimy, and I didn't shake it off a few times, so I left him alone. With him leading the way, I found a vegetable market nearby, and every time I picked a good dish, he had to rush to pay, but I refused.

Later, I went back to the funeral home, and the fat man kept talking about it along the way, asking me to say more good things, and when I got to the gate of the funeral home, I didn't dare to take another half step forward.

After I climbed over the wall and entered, I only heard him shouting outside: "Brother Lu, your lion-headed brother's happiness depends on you!" ”

Happiness you big-headed ghost! I was also speechless, and went to the kitchen of the funeral home with the food. This kitchen is usually not used by many people, and these few people in the funeral home, when they get up at night, most of the time they eat bubble noodles to pay.

After cooking, I went to wake up the people one by one. Swallow was the last to come, and was still yawning when she sat down at the dining table, and seemed to be in a better mood after a good night's sleep. However, the second mother-in-law did not come.

"It's been a long time since I've eaten braised pork." The muscular man took a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, chewed a few bites, and stretched out his thumb, "Xiao Qi, your skills are really good!" ”

"Well, so-so." Hei Mao had already eaten six or seven pieces after a while.

Yanzi glanced at him and said, "So-so, you still eat a lot!" ”

I couldn't help laughing, but fortunately I heard from Yanzi that I should make more, so I specially bought a few more pieces of pork belly and made a big pot full of them, otherwise it would not be enough to eat.

Ma Boss took a bite of meat and said, "How many years has it been since everyone sat down to eat together?" ”

The muscular man calculated for a moment and said, "It's been three or four years after all, right?" ”

Hei Mao said: "Four years." Pointing to the thin bamboo pole, "I haven't eaten together since the sixth child came in." ”

I watched and listened to them. I found that among these five people, the sixth thin bamboo pole seemed to have no interest in braised pork, and only ate the green vegetables in front of me. And the other few people, Ma Boss, Black Hair, Muscle Man and Swallow, almost all four of them have a soft spot for braised pork.

I said, "It turns out that everyone loves to eat braised pork, and I will often make it in the future." ”

The meal was quite enjoyable, and all the meals were eaten. I couldn't help but be happy when I saw that Yanzi's mood was improving. After eating, I took a meal that I had left earlier to the corpse dressing room, but the second mother-in-law waved her hand and asked me to take it back.

When I got home in the evening, I told Qingzi about it at the dinner table again, but the dead woman still looked lukewarm, and she only said "oh" after listening to it, and she didn't comment on it.

I said, "According to my analysis, Ma Boss, Muscular Man, Black Hair and Swallow, they should have been in the same group before." Later, I didn't know what happened, so they went into seclusion in this funeral home. The sixth child came four years ago, and as for the second mother-in-law, she felt out of place with everyone. ”

"By the way, what does this symbol mean?" I went and got a pen and paper, and drew the pattern on the talisman from memory.

Qingzi had already finished eating, put down the dishes and chopsticks, glanced at what I had drawn, and said, "It's probably something from the Maoshan faction, I can't remember it clearly." ”

"Maoshan faction?" I don't know much about the Zhengyi faction, but when it comes to the Maoshan faction, it's still famous and thunderous. Regarding the school of exorcism and evil spirits, the folk have always had the saying that the south is the south and the north is the horse.

The North Horse refers to the Horse Immortal, in the northern zone, the Horse Immortal is extremely prosperous, and Zhang Huifang, who is pregnant with a snake fetus, is a disciple of the Horse. The disciples of this school often use means such as the possession of horse immortals to ward off evil spirits and exorcise demons.

And Nanmao refers to the Maoshan sect. But I first knew about Maoshan Taoist, and that was from some ghost movies from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and I used to sneak into the video hall in the village to watch it. According to legend, Maoshan is mysterious and unpredictable, and is best at using rune spells to exorcise ghosts and subdue demons, leaving countless legends in the folk.

I just heard Qingzi say that this Maoshan Sect was actually born from the Zhengyi faction at the earliest, and together with the Heavenly Master and Qingwei, it is called the three major factions of Fu Gong.

"So, that little white face is a Maoshan disciple?" In my imagination, the disciples of Maoshan are like those ghost hunters in Hong Kong and Taiwan films, wearing yellow Taoist robes, Taoist scarves, and holding peachwood swords, which are really not half similar to this little white face.

Qingzi didn't continue to pay attention to me, got up and went to the study, I had to clean up the dishes and chopsticks while figuring out by myself.

Early the next morning, before I arrived at the door of the funeral home, I saw a chubby guy from a distance, stretching out his head and lying on the iron door to look in, his posture was extremely obscene, it turned out to be the fat man with the lion's head.

"What are you looking at?" I called out to him as I approached.

The fat man screamed with fright, and almost fell headlong, and when he turned around to see that it was me, he patted his chest and let out a sigh.

I saw that he was sweating profusely, and his face was as white as a piece of paper, and I was a little strange, so I asked, "What's wrong with you, what the hell?" ”

The fat man screamed in fright, and pounced to cover my mouth: "Brother Lu, don't talk nonsense!" ”

I asked what was wrong. The fat man's face collapsed instantly, and he said with a sad face: "This time something really happened!" ”

Listening to him tell me what happened, I chuckled in my heart, the problem is really big. It turned out that after I went home last night, the family took them to the funeral home with a lion's head, kowtowing and adding money. However, the lion's head knew that this thing could not be done, so he refused with an iron heart.

Who knew that the two couples saw that the lion's head could not be met, so they drove their own car and transported the boy's body to the funeral home, crying outside, and had to be received by the funeral home, and in the end, of course, they were blasted out by Ma Boss.

As a result, the next day, someone found a car parked on the side of the road, the left side of the door broke a big hole, as if it was smashed open by something, and when I went in, I found that the couple was dead inside, and the flesh and blood of the two necks were blurred, as if they had been bitten by some wild beast, and the car was full of blood, and the smell was overwhelming.
