Chapter 66: Buying a Coffin to Bury People

"Huh?"

Li Tai, who was looking at the little girl's expressionless face, looked at Zhao Yu in a daze, not knowing what Zhao Yu was doing with the branches suddenly.

But since Zhao Yu wanted it, Li Tai didn't ask anything, and ran under the tree, jumped up the tree.

When he came down from the tree again, a long and large branch fell to the ground with Li Tai.

This scene frightened the nearby pedestrians to look sideways, scolding and hurriedly avoiding it.

But Zhao Yu didn't pay attention to those passers-by, as soon as he saw the branches falling, he immediately stepped forward and dragged the branches towards the little girl on the street.

Seeing this, Li Tai and Zhao Yunan hurriedly followed.

Running to the little girl's side, Zhao Yu put the branch next to the straw mat, and then without saying a word, he grabbed the little girl and stopped, and reached out to carry the straw mat.

It's just that the corpse is too heavy, and Zhao Yu is small and difficult to move.

Seeing Li Tai and Zhao Yunan coming, Zhao Yu hurriedly spoke:

"Come, take the handle, and put this corpse on the branch together!"

Hearing this, Zhao Yunan immediately reached out to move the corpse, and Li Tai was a little unhappy.

However, seeing that Zhao Yu had already started, although Li Tai was not happy, he still reluctantly bent down to help.

Suddenly changed, the little girl seemed to have become numb to everything in the outside world, and stood alone in place, numbly looking at the three strangers who didn't know what to do, and let them do it.

When the pedestrians on the street saw this, they pointed at Zhao Yu and the others, as if they were mocking and a little puzzled.

Zhao Yu still ignored the eyes around him, with Li Tai's help, things were easier, the corpse was connected to the straw mat, and it was carried to the branch by the three of them at once.

Then, Zhao Yu pulled the head of the branch with one hand, and held the little girl's cold hand with the other hand:

"Let's go, let's help you go and bury the body together!"

Showing a smile at the little girl, Zhao Yu's hand pulling the branch forced, and instantly pulled the corpse.

With the drive of the branches, the corpse was much easier to pull than before, and it didn't take much effort to be pulled away by Zhao Yu.

"Young Master! You can't do this, let me do it! ”

Seeing this, Zhao Yunan hurriedly ran forward and snatched the branch from Zhao Yu's hand, and Li Tai also grabbed the branch and dragged it together.

Suddenly, under the gray sky, several people joined forces, and the corpse was carried by the branches on the damp ground quickly.

Front.

The little girl looked at the body being dragged behind her, then looked at the hand held by Zhao Yu, and finally looked at Zhao Yu's delicate little face that seemed to be smiling.

At this moment, the little girl's empty eyes trembled slightly, and the little hand that was being held passed a trace of warmth into her heart.

It's just that the little girl didn't speak, turned her head to look ahead, and let Zhao Yu lead her forward.

Walked a distance.

Zhao Yu turned his head to look at the corpse behind him.

The branches of the tree were almost worn off because of the friction with the ground, and the branches were worn off a lot, and the straw mat was also worn out of the hole, and if it continued like this, the corpse would be worn out.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu frowned, then glanced around the street, and just saw a coffin shop in front of the left.

"Let's go, go to the coffin shop!"

Zhao Yu let go of the little girl's hand and ran towards the coffin shop first.

Behind, Li Tai and Zhao Yunan pulled the corpse to quickly follow, and the little girl also followed indiscriminately.

Run to the coffin shop.

There was a lazy shopkeeper next to the door of the coffin shop, Zhao Yu stopped in front of the door and shouted at the shopkeeper:

"Hey, do you have ready-made coffins for sale in your store?"

The shopkeeper was looking at the gray sky boringly, and when he saw that there was business, he hurriedly looked down at the front of the store.

It's just that when I saw that the person who asked about the coffin was a little kid, and the dead man behind him was still dragging it with a branch, and at first glance it was a poor dead ghost on the street, and immediately waved his hand disdainfully:

"Go, go, what coffin can the poor ghost who died on the street afford? Go cool and don't get in the way of our business. ”

"Dogs look down on people!"

Zhao Yu scolded, grabbed something with his little hand and smashed it towards the shopkeeper.

The thing flashed a silver light in the air, and after smashing into the shopkeeper's body, it quickly slid down.

The shopkeeper's eyes were quick, and he subconsciously caught the silver light, and when he looked at it, it was a silver bean.

Seeing the silver beans, the shopkeeper's eyes widened.

In these years, it takes silver to smash people? Then stone me to death with more silver!

Looking forward to it, the shopkeeper raised his head and looked at Zhao Yu incredulously.

Zhao Yu raised his head at this time, looking like a young master from a rich family, and said proudly:

"What do you see? Is there a coffin now? ”

The voice fell, and at this time, Li Tai also happened to stand behind Zhao Yu, glaring at the shopkeeper majestically.

The shopkeeper mistakenly thought that Li Tai was Zhao Yu's subordinate, and hurriedly replaced it with a flattering smile:

"Yes, yes, I don't know what kind of coffin this little master needs?"

Nodding his head, the shopkeeper held the silver beans in his hand and came to Zhao Yu's side.

Zhao Yu glanced at the shopkeeper:

"What coffins do you have here?"

"There are all kinds of coffins, the best Nanmu coffins, ordinary coffins and inferior thin-skinned coffins!"

The shopkeeper bent down and smiled.

Hearing this, Zhao Yu waved his hand directly:

"Then a thin-skinned coffin!"

Although Zhao Yu is a good person, he is not a bad person, and now his family is not rich, it would be good to be able to buy a coffin for others, and he would not be extravagant enough to buy a good coffin.

When the shopkeeper heard that Zhao Yu only bought a thin-skinned coffin, the smirk on his face suddenly faded a lot, but when he saw that there was business, he still tried his best to keep a smile and said with a smile:

"This little young master, the thin-skinned coffin costs two hundred wen a mouthful, are you going to carry it out now?"

"Now!"

Zhao Yu didn't say a word, and took out two silver beans and threw them to the shopkeeper.

Looking at the three silver beans in his hand, the shopkeeper was stunned.

But at this time, Zhao Yu waved his hand again:

"Two hundred wen to buy a coffin, and the remaining one hundred wen to find me a carriage to pull the coffin, is it enough?"

"Enough, enough!"

The corners of the shopkeeper's mouth grinned to the back of his ears, how could the carriage cost a hundred yuan, and he had another piece to earn.

took the other person's money, and the shopkeeper was very quick and hurried to call a carriage.

The carriage that pulls the coffin is easy to find, and there is one next door that specializes in this business.

After the shopkeeper called a carriage, he and the coachman carried a thin coffin out.

Although the coffin is called a coffin, it is actually nailed together by several wooden boards, and Zhao Yu didn't mind.

But it was such a coffin, and the little girl who had been numb shed tears.

Together, they loaded the corpse wrapped in straw mats into the coffin, nailed it, loaded it into a wagon, and dragged it out of the city.

The carriage dragged the coffin and couldn't sit on people, so Zhao Yu and the others followed the carriage like this, and Zhao Yu was still holding the little girl who was not covered in his hands.

Out of town.

Zhao Yu and the others found a good place nearby and buried the coffin, which was at the foot of a barren mountain.

In front of the newly erected grave, the carriage had already left, leaving only Zhao Yu's four large and three small figures.

The little girl stood in front of the grave, looking at the grave, and tears fell down her eyes, crying silently.

Zhao Yu and the three of them burned money paper on the side.

After burning the incense candles and money paper presented by the coffin shop, Zhao Yu got up and looked at the little girl silently.

After a while, Zhao Yu spoke softly:

"Where are you from? Do you have any relatives at home? ”
