Chapter 3: The Business of the Dead

Ghost?

I looked at Master with a frown.

"What the hell, I didn't meet a ghost today, Uncle Ming told me that I came back when the matter was over, and I was already buried."

I responded a little stubbornly, thinking in my heart that Uncle Ming has always been good to me, how could it harm me?

At this time, Master stopped and stared at me with a serious expression.

"There's a lot you don't know."

After saying that, he dragged me forward, and came to Uncle Ming's house at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night.

The master slammed the door angrily, eager to kick the door open.

provoked the people next door to open the door to see if someone had quarreled.

Uncle Ming came over to open the door sleepily, and saw that it was my master who was instantly refreshed, and seemed to be a little lacking in confidence.

He politely invited the master into the house, and served tea and poured water and asked for warmth, and I carefully observed from the side.

"I'm here to drink tea?"

As soon as the words fell, the master poured the tea into the trash can, but he didn't give any face.

Uncle Ming was not angry, and sat next to him with a smile and said.

"I know you're here because of today's incident, and it's not like I didn't survive, this is your precious apprentice, could it be that I will hurt him? Isn't this an urgent matter today, besides, your apprentice's ability is so great, can he still be haunted by ghosts? ”

Uncle Ming began to talk about what happened at that time again.

He said that the coffin was lifted by me.

Uncle Ming was also surprised, and later found out that I had a special ability that I could channel.

"Fart! I don't know what my apprentice is like, and you want to deceive me with your words? Today I'm just asking for an explanation, how do you solve it if something really happens at that time? ”

"Isn't that accidental..."

Uncle Ming muttered a few words with insufficient confidence.

"This is the first and last time, if something happens to my apprentice, I won't finish with you, I know better than anyone what money you make, how many people have died because of it over the years?"

I coughed awkwardly and turned my head away.

Uncle Ming nodded again and again without refuting, which was a wise move.

But as we were about to leave, he suddenly said solemnly.

"How long can you hide it? Sooner or later, he will find out. ”

Master didn't answer, but dragged me away.

It was already dark, and I was thinking about the conversation between the two of them.

On the surface, Master was a warning to Uncle Ming, but in fact he was hiding a lot of things, which I could perceive.

But every time I asked about it, he always didn't say anything, as if he was willing to let me learn the trade of paper tying after a few years.

When I asked him why, he wouldn't say.

This was the end of the matter, and since then Adong and I have rarely seen each other.

There weren't many people in the town, and I had to stay at home every day without a playmate, and the craft of paper people was also improving by leaps and bounds.

Every time Master saw me, he would praise me, saying that I was very talented, or it would not be long before my skills would be even better than Master's.

"From then on, I will inherit the mantle of Master."

I smiled.

At this time, Master's face changed greatly, and I was so frightened that I couldn't hold anything steadily.

"Whether it's a paper figure business or a funeral team, it's dangerous, it's a dead man's business, and the yin qi will only get heavier and heavier, the reason why I teach you is nothing more than to let you have a craft, and you can eat in the future!"

Master said very seriously, and I didn't dare to ask more.

A few days later, business came again.

It's just that this time it's not someone else, it's Uncle Ming!

We met again after a month.

The master was a little angry, and when he saw him coming, he began to get angry again, thinking that he was going to have some idea again.

"What are you doing in the store?"

Uncle Ming's expression was solemn, his lips were white, and the dark circles under his eyes were about to reach his chin, looking like he hadn't closed his eyes for a few days and nights.

His voice was weak, and his mouth trembled slightly when he looked at me.

"I'll order some paper figurines..."

He sighed again.

"Paper man? What do you want paper people to do, and what kind of business do you take? ”

The master spoke slowly, pen and notebook in his hand, intending to write it down.

At this time, Uncle Ming shed tears.

"It's for my apprentice."

"Adong!"

Hearing this, I hurriedly asked.

"Something happened to Adong!"

Ah Dong is my best playmate, although I haven't seen each other for a month, but it doesn't affect at all, I originally planned to play with him next month, this sudden accident made me a little unexpected.

"This paper figure was burned for Adong?"

Master didn't expect it either.

"He's dying, I've searched all the doctors, and I've lost dozens of pounds in just a month, and the doctor said that he can't be saved at all, so I want to prepare for the future, these things will have to be prepared sooner or later."

He sighed and looked at me, as if to convey something to me.

"He has been very strange since the last incident, and when he came back, he said that he was dizzy, that he had to wear a padded jacket in the summer, that he was very cold, that he hallucinated that he saw terrible things everywhere, and that he had not slept well once."

Then I suddenly remembered the last time I saw the ghost, the human head behind him.

Is what I'm seeing true?

"Master, can I go and see Ah Dong?"

Maybe this is the last time I will meet Adong, I want to cherish it and don't want to leave regrets.

Master agreed, and he followed.

A few of us came to the house.

As soon as I got to the door, I smelled a fishy smell, and even a smell of dead people.

It is said that if a person is contaminated with the smell of the dead, it means that he will not live for long, at most three days.

Uncle Ming pushed open the bedroom door, Ah Dong was lying on the bed weakly, his eyes were closed, if it wasn't for the faint breath, I would have thought he had returned to the west.

"Adong..."

I sat on the edge of the bed, his arms like dead branches, and his face was so thin that he couldn't see what it was.

Ah Dong seemed to hear my voice, and he tried to grab me with all his strength.

"Uncle Ming, I saw something strange before."

I took a deep breath and decided to tell you what I was seeing.

Concealed for a month, it's time to say it.

"At that time, Ah Dong sent me back, I saw a grimace behind him, I thought I was wrong, because when I opened my eyes again, he disappeared, was he entangled by a ghost?"

"Did you really see that?"

Uncle Ming also looked at me with a stunned expression.

"See."

At this time, Uncle Ming remembered something, he slammed the wall angrily, and looked at me through gritted teeth.

"Damn, it must be the ghostly female ghost, who wants to be reincarnated and found my apprentice, I said why can't I find the cause for so many days, in fact, I also thought about it this way, but there is no sign of evil in him at all, and now it's useless to exorcise ghosts."

Suddenly, a strange voice came to my head.
