Chapter 239: Zhang Jide's coffin shop
That Shi Jingjiao looked at Zhang Daochang and smiled slightly, and said, "Big brother must have come up with some good way!"
Zhang Daochang took a sip of the water on the table, then put the bowl down, raised his head, stared at Shi Jingjiao and said: Tomorrow we will take the opportunity to bury this old man and go out of the city!"
"Oh——?! it's good that it won't arouse suspicion," Shi Jingjiao nodded.
Followed by the Daoist Zhang's voice and said in a low voice: "Brother Shi Jingjiao, how many taels of silver do you have on you? I will go to the 'Zhang Jide Coffin Shop' tomorrow morning to buy the necessary items, and we can only go out of the funeral when the things are complete." At least it has to be like it, and no one can see the flaws......!"
That Shi Jingjiao hurriedly took out a bag of silver from his arms and handed it to him, but was stopped by the fat guy, "Brother, something else, you don't have to break the bank, I'll come!"
casually took out a bag from his waist, put it on the table, and said to Zhang Daochang: "Dao Chief, do you think these are enough?"
Zhang Daochang smiled "hehe" and said, "I don't need so much, this brother is really a rich ......!"
"Alas, you just take it all first, what's the use of it, let's talk about it when you're done!" As he spoke, the fat guy forced the bag into Zhang Daochang's hand.
The thin man with a bamboo pole and the guy with a beard on his face stared at the fat guy with wide eyes of surprise, and said, "Hey, brother, didn't you just lose it all?
The fat guy blushed, "hehe" and smiled: "Didn't I say that I was angry with those guys, and when the game was over, I stole the lost silver back!"
The thin man who looked like a bamboo pole was not only stunned, "Brother, when did you practice this kung fu? Why don't I know?
The guy with a beard on his face laughed loudly, slapped the table, and said, "Brother, if you really have you, you are the material for the thief!
Everyone laughed, and Shi Jingjiao couldn't refuse, so he had to let the fat guy stuff back the silver he took out.
Then, Zhang Daochang looked at the sky outside and said, "It's still early at this time, let's find a place to rest for a while, and when it's dawn, I'll go and finish it, and we'll set off." ”
Everyone thinks what he said is reasonable, and they really have to hurry up and rest and rest, at least until dawn in a daze. After a while, once you are recognized when you go out of the city, you have to break through and work hard! He said, "Yes, yes, let's hurry up and get some sleep." ”
There are two rooms in the girl's house, there are two beds, Shi Jingjiao and Zhang Daochang, the thin man who looks like a bamboo pole and the guy with a beard on his face, they came to the bed to find a place to lie down.
The girl had now packed up her things, but it was not convenient for her to be with everyone, so she found a stool and came to her father's side, which was covered with straw mats in the courtyard.
She didn't want to leave her father there alone, he wanted to stay with him for the last night.
When the fat guy saw it, he hurriedly followed, and said with concern: "Sister, let's go back to the house to rest for a while, tomorrow I have the strength to hurry, this mountain is high and the road is far away, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep up!"
The girl hurriedly gave him the stool to sit on, looked at the fat guy, and said, "Don't worry......!
The fat guy pushed the stool back vigorously, "Girl, sit down! I'll sit here." ”
As he spoke, he sat on a large bluestone next to him.
The dim night sky was sparsely hung with a few starlight. The wind on the early autumn night was slightly chilly. The surroundings feel very quiet, probably because of the lack of grass insects.
Occasionally, the cry of a cricket will be slightly miserable and desolate.
The two of them gossiped and talked about each other, and a wave of sleepiness hit, and the eyelids fought up and down.
The fat guy was startled, rubbed his sleepy eyes and glanced to the side, and saw the girl's head leaning on his shoulder.
A fragrance that resembled the petals of a mountain field penetrated his heart and spleen. He involuntarily struck a spirit, a sensation that he had never felt before, and an electric shock poured into his body.
He hurriedly and gently took off his coat, put it on her body in distress, sighed softly, and muttered, "What a poor girl!"
He hugged her like a sister who felt sorry for him, and let her lie in his generous and warm embrace.
He suddenly saw a tear run out of the corner of her eye, sliding down her cheek. He was stunned for a moment, and then hugged her tighter......
Early in the morning, Zhang Daochang walked out of the door, and when he saw the two of them hugging each other and sitting next to the old man's body, he not only sighed long.
walked over and pushed the fat guy, the fat guy was in a daze, woke up suddenly, turned his head to look at Zhang Daochang with shame, and muttered: "I...... This...... This girl, alas, she is so tired......!"
Zhang Daochang's face revealed concern, "Yes, quickly help her to the house to rest for a while! I'm going to buy things, beware of this cold......
I saw that the girl also woke up suddenly, her face turned crimson in an instant, and she hurriedly stood up with a shy face, and said to Zhang Daochang, "Everything has a long ......!"
"Okay, it's okay, don't talk to the family anymore! After a while, prepare something to eat for everyone, and we'll leave right away when I come back!" he said and walked out of the courtyard gate.
This Taoist walked along this alley for a long time, turned several corners, and finally found the "Zhang Jide coffin shop".
Because he was not familiar with this area, he had not been here much before, so it was easy to get out of this area.
This is basically a place where the poor live, and it is generally rare to ask this Taoist priest to do things.
When he walked to the center of the street, he was naturally familiar.
In front of the "Zhang Jide Coffin Shop", the boss and his buddy were unloading the door panel.
He shouted from afar, "Boss Zhang is busy?"
When Boss Zhang heard the voice, he turned around, looked left and right for a long time, and looked at him at once, "Oh, Daochang Zhang, what are you going to do this morning?"
"Alas, in the west of this city, there is an old man who has died, and there is no outsider in the house, only that girl. Why can't this be left unattended? I, seeing that she is pitiful, will help him do it. Alas, there is no way!"
The boss Zhang couldn't stop nodding and said, "Alas, you are a monk, you are kind-hearted! You Zhang Daochang have indeed done a lot of good deeds for everyone in this city of Zhaozhou! Good people always have good rewards!"
"Hahaha......" Zhang Daochang laughed loudly, "I ask you to say ......!"
"——!" The boss suddenly remembered something, stared at the Daoist Zhang up and down for a long time, and then said, "Daochang Zhang, borrow a step to speak!"
This Taoist chief was stunned in his heart, what could be the matter? Worriedly, he followed him to the back hall of the coffin shop.
Boss Zhang mysteriously closed the door and let him sit down on the Taishi chair.
Then he made a cup of tea and carefully placed it on the table in front of him. He glanced around, and then asked in a low voice, "I wonder if Daochang Zhang heard about what happened last night?"
Zhang Daochang was shocked, put down the teacup that had just been raised to his mouth, stared at the boss Zhang and said, "What's the matter?"
"What's the matter?, I really haven't heard of such a big thing?!" Boss Zhang frowned, staring at Zhang Daochang in disbelief, a trace of suspicion crossed his eyes.
At that time, Zhang Daochang was really a little restless, he felt that it was really not easy to stay here for a long time, and he obviously felt a dangerous aura rushing towards him.
"I really haven't heard of it! I hurried to Xicheng this morning, and was entrusted with the preparation of the work for that family, but I saw the destitute appearance of their family, and I couldn't bear it, so I rushed to you to buy a product!"
When Zhang Daochang said this, his face was full of honesty.
Boss Zhang stared at Daochang Zhang thoughtfully and said, "That's the case, from midnight last night to early this morning, this officer and soldier have come four or five times. It is said that yesterday a few guys brutally killed officers and soldiers, and one of them was wearing a Taoist uniform and was still a Taoist priest! I am afraid that this matter will involve our 'Xuanqingguan'! Since it is okay, then even if I talk too much......
Boss Zhang followed up and asked, "What do you need for this?"
The Taoist Zhang asked for a pen and paper, opened a list, handed it to him, and said with a smile: "I am also very grateful to you Boss Zhang for your concern, but the Taoist priest I am talking about is definitely not from our Taoist temple, and it is impossible for our Taoist priest to do this at the door of our ......!"
"Yes, yes, I think so too!" Boss Zhang said as he walked out of the back hall and went to collect what Daochang Zhang wanted.
After Boss Zhang walked out, Zhang Dao let out a long breath and wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve.
He was very annoyed that he was so careless today?
Obviously, there was such a big thing yesterday, and I was wearing a Taoist robe, and when I came to this coffin shop today, I should have changed my clothes, but I ...... it!
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was really too dangerous, and if he was not careful, he would lose the whole game!
After waiting for a long time, he didn't see the boss come back, and he was not only anxious. This boss won't ......?!
Thinking of this, he hurriedly got up and walked to the door of the back hall, gently opened the door a crack, and looked out secretly.
"Someone just saw a person in a Taoist uniform coming here, where is the person? Hurry up and say ......!" A burst of shouting and cheering came from outside, which made Zhang Daochang feel shocked......
