Standing at the mouth of the alley, looking out, there was a team of people carrying coffins and sending corpses, everyone was wearing linen and filial piety, with a circle of white cloth on their foreheads, and their expressions were serious and sad.

The first two people held white sticks to open the way, and four more people held white paper money in their hands, and threw them into the sky every three steps.

In the middle of the back, there stood a Taoist priest with a gloomy face, wearing a gray and white Taoist robe with a gray and white washed hair pulp, and a beard under his chin, looking like a fairy wind and bones.

In his left hand, he holds a white sail and in his right hand a brass-colored soul bell, jingling bells along the way.

The Taoist Sutra of Death was recited in his mouth, and the master of the Seven Star Cave couldn't understand it, so he thought it should be.

At that time, the Buddhist monks made him happy and hateful, but the most annoying thing was the strange bull noses of the Taoist sect, according to the age, the older the more strange they became.

The annoyance here is not annoyance, but the 'annoyance' of knowing what they are like, but having nothing to do with them, and having to make some choices.

If Liu Yuan was here at this time, he should recognize that the Taoist priest who was holding the soul bell and reciting the Sutra of the Past Life was his third uncle.

After that, there are still people playing mourning music, and those who hear it are sad and heartbroken, and it is the rice shop who is supporting the coffin next to it, so it is self-evident who is lying in the coffin.

Zhang Yuan's expression was melancholy outside, and he had not seen his spirit decay for many days, as if he was ten years old, with one hand hanging down at his side and the other hand on the lid of a fine willow coffin.

The fire in three places is actually only a small piece for the entire Qingchuan County.

Maybe most people gathered around to join in the fun, but it did not affect Zhang Yuanwai's sad mood at the moment, and the pre-determined day of his son's coffin, the world is not as big as his own child.

There were few people on the whole street, the whole street was filled with the sound of mourning and music, time was pressing, the master of the Seven Star Cave didn't think about it for too long, and quickly made a decision.

......

"Ah, shopkeeper, you say this, that. Zheng Dongxi's mouth was hesitant, when he stood up in front of Liu Yuan, he didn't think about it so much, and suddenly he didn't know how to explain, he was not a person who could speak well, so he had to say again: "Didn't we say okay, I will save your life, and I will return the silver." ”

"Okay, do you have to say yes to another person?" Liu Yuan moved his muscles and bones, turned around and looked at Zheng Dongxi's eyes.

"Ah, yes. Zheng Dongxi blinked and said a little stupidly.

Liu Yuan snapped his fingers, his eyes crooked and said, "Then you recall carefully, did I promise you at that time?"

"I didn't ...... No. Zheng Shiwu felt that he was being wrapped in and shook his head, suddenly reacted wrong, and jumped out of bed: "Aren't you a scoundrel at the shopkeeper, you were like that at that time, can you speak?"

"But in the end, we were saved by others. Liu Yuan said, his feet fell to the ground, and he tried to get out of bed and walk.

Succeeded, although walking slowly, but the body is much more comfortable than before, suddenly felt the value of the satisfaction of the day, and experienced the wonder of this antidote pill.

"Okay, no need to say any more, do it well, I'll pay me the money first, let's not rush, pay it back slowly." Without waiting for something to continue talking, Liu Yuan patted Zheng Dongxi's shoulder with a straight face.

"Alas. Zheng Dongxi nodded, but he always felt that something was wrong in his heart. But just as he was about to talk to the shopkeeper again, the latter had already gone out of the house.

hurriedly chased out, "Shopkeeper, it's better to lie down and recuperate with your injury." ”

There are still a bunch of things waiting for him, how can he rest at this time, while walking slowly downstairs, Liu Yuan thought in his mind, although the Lord of the Yuan Imperial Pavilion is gone, but this matter is far from over.

Sooner or later, their inn will face an investigation, and those thieves are obviously people who practice martial arts, and they have internal strength, depending on how these people in the inn stopped them.

Although most of the credit can be attributed to the master of the Seven Star Cave, the rest of the inspection is indispensable, Li Lanxin is the daughter of the county order, and the brothers and sisters of the Lei family are from the Wan'an Dart Bureau, so there is no problem.

He was born with no pulse, and it will not make people suspicious, only Zheng Dongxi, who has internal strength, has only been in the rivers and lakes for two years, and it is still a sensitive period.

Fortunately, Zheng Dongxi's internal strength is still quite shallow, it is not difficult to find a reason to prevaricate in the past, resisting thieves is considered meritorious, there are not a few disciples who were dismissed back then, and it is normal to occasionally meet a few people with internal strength.

But if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, Liu Yuan stood on the side of the stairs, turned his head and stopped Zheng Dongxi and expressed his worries.

When Zheng Dongxi heard this question, he smiled and said, "Don't worry about the shopkeeper, I have my own way to hide." ”

"That's fine. After the two went downstairs, they saw that Li Lanxin had already begun to clean up the mess on the ground and straighten the tables and chairs that had fallen to the ground.

Li Lan is a very diligent girl, but she is not meticulous enough.

is not arrogant, there is no ordinary eldest lady's temper, after what happened just now, Liu Yuan has completely changed his opinion of this girl who is full of a sense of justice and yearns for chivalry and righteousness.

"Lan Xin, sit, don't clean it up yet. Liu Yuan beckoned, and after the ruin, the three people of the inn felt very comfortable and sat down at the long table, just like yesterday, if there were no three corpses on the ground.

"Where's Miss Lei?" asked Liu Yuan, shaking his 'pig's head'.

"After seeing that you are fine, I went out to Yamen, firstly, to talk about our matter, and secondly, I also urgently wanted to explore Jiming Mountain. Li Lanxin picked up the wooden sign of 'Seven Perfume Boiled Fish' on the table, played with it in his hand and said.

"Yes. Liu Yuan nodded.

At this moment, the three of them looked out of the door at the same time, and after Lei Xiaoxiao left, the door of the inn was already wide open, and the street facing the door was empty.

But there were bursts of mourning and joy coming to my ears.

"Whose family is this dead, is it at the funeral?" Liu Yuan looked out the door and said softly.

However, after a while, two figures holding white sticks and throwing white paper money appeared in front of Liu Yuan's eyes, confirming his conjecture.

A group of people dressed in linen and wearing filial piety happened to walk in front of Liu Yuan's eyes, and suddenly, Liu Yuan's eyes suddenly blurted out: "Third uncle?!"

Hearing this exclamation, Li Lanxin turned his head and looked at the two of them, but the person with a serious face and reciting the Sutra of the Past is none other than Uncle Liu Yuansan, who knows when this person will not count his fate and take over the work of the soul.

Still surprised, Zhang Yuanwai, who was holding the coffin next to the coffin, also appeared in Liu Yuan's sight.

Liu Yuan got up and walked outside, and at the same time did not forget to say, "You guys are guarding in the store, I'll go out and have a look." ”

"Eh, shopkeeper, are you going out like this?" Li Lanxin hurriedly stopped him, looking shocked.
