Chapter 292, Real Maid (First Update)
Everything in Yujincheng is now very depressed, most of the industries have stopped production, and even the craftsmen who eat with their skills are in a state of eating without eating.
When there is a war, who still buys things?
If you don't buy things, craftsmen won't be able to live!
But there is a kind of business that cooks oil on fire, and there is a kind of craftsman who is in short supply.
This business is called a coffin shop, and this kind of craftsman is a professional coffin maker.
"Lao Jiu coffin shop", the boss is called Wu Suqi, because of Xingjiu, people call him Wu Lao Jiu, and the life of Wu Lao Jiu has been tight.
It stands to reason that now that the coffin is selling well, it should make money, but it is not.
Nowadays, most of the dead are on the battlefield to fight foreign devils, and he is embarrassed to charge how much coffin money, and sometimes others die heroically, and he doesn't take a penny.
"I'd rather be a peace dog than a troubled world!" he could only sigh in a clichΓ©.
This night, Lao Jiu was thinking about whether he had to raise the price of the coffin on the kang; if it didn't rise, he was tired and tired, but he earned less and less, and he always felt sorry for the compatriots who went to the battlefield to fight foreign dogs.
Thinking about it, Lao Jiu fell asleep, but in the middle of the night he heard someone call him: "Lao Jiu, Lao Jiu! Get up, big business!"
"Big business?!" Wu Laojiu turned his bones up.
Opening the door, several strange young people stood outside.
These people exuded a thick blood all over their bodies, and at first glance, they were on the battlefield, and Lao Jiu was in awe: "A few masters, what's the matter?"
One of them said, "Here's a good coffin." β
"It's easy to say!" Wu Laojiu secretly wondered, a coffin, no matter how good it is, it is not a big business.
I only heard the man say again: "In addition, I heard that before you made coffins, you had a craft, and you were good at making real figurines for burials, yes or no?"
Wu Laojiu was surprised, "Yes, what the masters said is right, Xiao Lao'er does have this craft, but now that the times have changed, no one makes that kind of real figurine." Several...... Isn't it ......?"
The man said: "Yes, you pick the coffin, bring the tools to make the figurines, and come with us." β
"Where are you going?"
The man threw a bag directly, and Wu Laojiu caught it and saw that it was full of gold bars.
During the war years, paper money depreciated, and gold and silver were the most valuable. He didn't have to weigh it, and he knew that the money was enough to buy his storefront.
"Golden Cloud Gate!"
Golden Cloud Gate!?
Wu Laojiu was shocked, Jinyunmen is now very famous, Li Wuxian, Song Gang and even Jiang Chuchu are all celebrities on the battlefield, and Li Wuxian's deeds of destroying the door during the day are even more sensational throughout Yujin City.
The names of the thirty-seven members of the Yin family were destroyed overnight, and everyone was stuck in the head with a spear, and the head was transported all the way to Jinyunmen!
The matter of destroying the door is still a legend for ordinary people, and this time many people saw it with their own eyes, only to find out how bloody and terrible this thing is!
"Okay!" Wu Laojiu didn't dare to say anything, so he quickly picked out the best coffin, packed up the tools, and got into the car with those few people, and came to Jinyunmen after a while.
When he arrived, he was received alone by a man in his twenties.
Wu Laojiu recognized that the young man in front of him was the "human slaughter" Li Wuxian, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
"Good girl, this killing god is looking for me, I don't know what is the matter?"
To his surprise, Li Wuxian didn't have any shelf, but he was rarely easy to speak, but he just asked Wu Laojiu about the wood requirements and methods and steps of being a "real human helper", he asked very carefully, and Wu Laojiu told the man all the skills he knew.
After finishing speaking, Li Wuxian took out a piece of wood that was one person tall and asked Wu Laojiu to try it according to Li Wuxian's appearance.
Wu Laojiu finished it carefully, and sure enough, it was seven or eight percent similar to Li Wuxian, and it was quite charming, Li Wuxian was very satisfied, gave him a photo, and asked him to make another copy.
The person in the photo is an old man, who looks to be fifty or sixty years old, but he seems to be eighty or ninety years old, which is elusive, and this person seems to be filled with an indescribable meaning, which is very distinctive.
Li Wuxian instructed him to look as good as possible, to be "calm and atmospheric", although Wu Laojiu has not used this craft for a long time, but he is not much unfamiliar, it took two hours to make a lifelike real human maid.
Then, after Wu Laojiu finished it, he was put back.
made a lot of money for nothing, "It's really weird," Wu Laojiu couldn't understand the reason for this farce, until the next day, he didn't know that the head of Shi Tong, the master of the Golden Cloud Gate, had been cut off, and today he was going to make a memorial, and what he did with his own hands was the body of the only grandmaster in Yujin City...
...
Following.
There was a faint sound of mourning and joy from Jinyunmen, and everyone was filial.
The entire Jinyunmen headquarters is hung with black and white curtains everywhere, and it looks very solemn from a distance.
Early in the morning, there were many people watching from afar near the Golden Cloud Gate.
There, one after another, high-end cars or horse-drawn carriages that looked like high-quality horses were parked at the door, and the people who came out of them were all high-ranking officials or warriors of Yujin City, either rich or noble.
"Have you heard of Grandmaster Shitong's memorial service, as long as you want, you can go to participate, you can eat and drink enough!" said an idler cautiously to the person next to him.
The others sneered: "Do you dare to go? The largest sect in Jinyunmen and Yumin Province is now dying, do you think the memorial service can be held in peace?"
"yes, I don't dare to go. I just saw that the prefect and several high-ranking officials from the military region had passed, alas, it was said that everyone could enter, how could the people of Shengdou dare to enter!"
"That's ......," the crowd sighed.
One of them changed the subject and said, "Have you all read the newspaper?"
"Look, it's ridiculous, this is probably the best selling of the "Tulip Evening News" since its inception. β
"yes!"
Yesterday, Li Wuxian destroyed the Yin family, causing a sensation in the city. In the evening, the "Yujin Evening News" reported all the news related to Jinyunmen, and the newspaper was sold out for a while, and it was reprinted all night, so that several machines in the printing house burned out.
"Yujin Evening News" has a total of 12 pages, all of which were bought by Jinyunmen, and the first page is an obituary with a huge font: saying that the owner of Jinyunmen was unfortunately killed, and a memorial service was held at the headquarters of Jinyunmen!
Other pages talked about the killing of Shi Tong, the master of the Golden Cloud Gate, by the Blood Moon Gate, and the handwriting of Gong Tuo was also photographed and published in the newspaper.
These things were arranged by Song Gang and Lin Ziyue when Li Wuxian went to destroy the Gate, and the report comprehensively stated the ambitions, threats, and practices of the Blood Moon Gate, and told the grievances between the Blood Moon Gate, the Dajiang Gang, and the Golden Cloud Gate.
The entire Yujin City, only then did I know why Li Wuxian went to destroy the door, it turned out to be revenge!
It is worth mentioning that the back pages of the newspaper occupy a whole large reverse side, with only four words on it:
"Blood debt and blood payment!"
Although ninety percent of the people in the city knew it, and the obituary also said that as long as there was a heart to mourn, Jinyunmen would thank them, but how could ordinary people dare to enter? In the end, they were still a little bold, and they went around inside, and Jinyunmen really did not stop them.
When these people came out, they and the others spoke vividly:
"Grandmaster Shitong has now made a shape out of wood, with a golden body on the outside, and is wearing clothes, so he thinks he is a real person from a distance. β
"His disciple has a heart, according to our Quran, if a person does not have a whole corpse, there is no afterlife. In this way, the golden body is molded, and it can be regarded as having a whole corpse. β
"Have you been to the mourning hall, I heard that Jinyunmen is not only going to hold a funeral today, but Li Rentu is also going to be the master of the mourning hall today. β
"Who dares to go? It is said that thirty-seven human heads are carried with thirty-seven spears, and cold sweat breaks out at the thought of it. β
"Hiss......"
"Yes, I also heard that there are thousands of catties of gunpowder buried under the entire Golden Cloud Gate, and if someone from the Blood Moon Gate comes, as long as there is an order, the entire city will be blown up. β
"Isn't that impossible, and wouldn't that also kill the people who participated in the memorial?"
Everyone gasped, and some people who had a heart hurriedly ran away, far away from Jinyunmen.
