I run a funeral home, I don't know how to teach people how to slay demons

Inside Changsheng Hall.

The girl desperately shoveled rice into her mouth. As she chewed, her cheeks bulged slightly, like a little squirrel that had eaten too much.

"Eat slowly. If it's not enough, there's more." Lu Changsheng's voice was a little trembling.

He saw that the ribs he had been thinking about were all eaten by the girl, and he was so distressed that he could hardly breathe.

What you eat... is all my blood... my blood...

The girl finished the meal like a whirlwind, and looked at Lu Changsheng timidly, her two little hands nervously not knowing where to put them.

She was so hungry that she accidentally ate all the food...

This was a fatal mistake. If it had been before, she would probably have been beaten to death...

"Child, are you still hungry? I'll make you some more?"

The girl was stunned, subconsciously opened her mouth, wanted to say something, but could only make a "Aba Aba" sound.

She seemed to remember something, closed her mouth again, lowered her head, and curled herself up.

"Come to think of it, I can't always call you a child, right? It's not convenient. Since you can't speak, how about I give you a name?" Lu Changsheng seemed to be lost in thought.

"How about calling you Gou Shengzi? A cheap name is easier to keep."

"If you don't speak, I'll take it as your consent."

The girl got anxious all of a sudden, jumped up on the spot, looked around, and finally found a pen and paper, and started writing and drawing.

Looking at the name the girl wrote on the white paper, Lu Changsheng was stunned.

"Gu Jia?"

"So your name is Gu Jia?"

Gu Jia nodded gently.

He thought the girl was illiterate, kidnapped by human traffickers since she was a child, and used to win sympathy from others. Unexpectedly, the girl not only knew how to read, but also had beautiful handwriting...

"It's not easy to fool her now... No, it's not easy to teach her survival skills..."

Lu Changsheng frowned slightly.

He hadn't figured out how to convince the girl to worship him as a teacher, but the girl had already started to act.

Gu Jia first put away the dishes and chopsticks, and then wiped the table, all in one go.

As if eager to prove her worth, she found a broom and rag and prepared to clean the entire store again.

Her movements were so skillful that she didn't look like a child, but more like a little maidservant serving her master in ancient times.

"Gu Jia, don't worry about cleaning first. There is something I must tell you first."

Lu Changsheng snatched the broom from the girl and took her back to the table.

Gu Jia thought Lu Changsheng wanted to drive her away, and she was immediately anxious.

She kept gesturing up and down, her mouth trembling and whimpering in pain, and her eyes were blurred by tears.

"Gu Jia, to be honest, I'm not from a rich family, you should be able to see that."

Gu Jia's heart sank to the bottom of the valley, and the feeling of despair quickly spread in her heart. She already knew what Lu Changsheng wanted to say...

"So, are you willing to be my apprentice?"

Lu Changsheng looked at the girl a little nervously. He was really afraid of being poor. If he didn't complete the novice task, he could only sell blood again...

Gu Jia was stunned.

A light reappeared in her numb eyes.

She looked at Lu Changsheng uncertainly, only wondering if she had heard it wrong.

"You don't have to be too scared. Funerals are actually very simple. And being able to send someone off for the last time and let them go decently is also a great thing with immeasurable merits. The most important thing is that there are few competitors in our industry, you see..."

Lu Changsheng didn't continue.

Because he saw that Gu Jia had already burst into tears and nodded excitedly, as if he was afraid that if he hesitated for a second longer, Lu Changsheng would change his mind...

[Congratulations to the host for successfully accepting a disciple]

[Disciple number: 001]

[Name: Gu Jia]

[Age: 12 years old]

[Equipment skills: None]

[Reward: 100 mall coins, 20,000 yuan, do you want to open the novice gift package? ]

Not yet, the reward money is credited to my card, I am afraid that cash will be robbed

[The bonus has been credited]

"Ding Dong"

Looking at the news that the money has been credited, Lu Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief...

Looking at the girl's frightened and timid eyes, his heart couldn't help but twitch.

"Let's go, Gu Jia, from today on, you are my eldest disciple! I will take you to buy some clothes, take you to take a bath, and buy some more ribs. Haha, we have money now! Plenty of ribs!"

Before Gu Jia could react, she was held by a warm big hand.

She stared blankly at the man who called himself a master. The smile on his face was so gentle...

For some reason, a thought suddenly flashed through Gu Jia's mind.

This time... maybe... she won't be thrown away again...

......

Shopping mall.

After cleaning herself, Gu Jia stared blankly at the mirror in front of her.

The girl on the other side of the mirror was wearing a pink dress, looking elegant and graceful, just like the fairy she imagined.

In Gu Jia's previous memory, her world was only black and white, and only the muddy gray.

She didn't even know that clothes could be so bright and beautiful...

"1980? Damn! Do I have to sell my blood four times to buy this piece of children's clothing? How many spare ribs can I get back?"

Lu Changsheng stared blankly at the numbers on the tag, unable to believe his eyes.

He still wears the work clothes he brought with him in the store, and he has not been willing to change them for new ones in three years.

Lu Changsheng calmly put down the tag on his clothes and whispered to his apprentice, "This store is too expensive. Let's find another one and use the remaining money to buy ribs, okay?"

Gu Jia nodded.

Silently she took off her beautiful clothes. After changing back to the tattered clothes, she had already understood a truth at a young age.

Some things, if they are not there when you are born, they are destined to never be there again.

The girl followed Lu Changsheng obediently, without any reluctance or regret.

She even...

Never looked back once.

Lu Changsheng looked at his sensible disciple and seemed to see a familiar figure...

The same helplessness, the same failure to seek...

He took a deep breath, which turned into a sigh.

Gu Jia looked at his master in confusion, not knowing why.

"That's all, who made you my first apprentice..."

Lu Changsheng took the girl back to the store and said domineeringly to the waiter, "Wrap up the dress just now and the few others I tried on before. The last pink skirt will be put on directly by my apprentice."

The waiter hurriedly changed his disgusted expression and greeted him warmly.

The current situation was difficult, and it was rare for a customer to spend so much money buying clothes for their children. She was afraid that Lu Changsheng would regret it later, but in a moment she had packed the items and handed them over respectfully.

Lu Changsheng didn't care either. No matter where he was, there would always be snobbery and it was not worth mentioning.

Gu Jia wore a new dress that only fairies can wear, letting the master's big hand hold her, like a beautiful doll, and walked out of the mall with a blank look on her face.

"Let's go, master will buy you ribs!"

Lu Changsheng's voice was trembling, as if his heart was bleeding.

Gu Jia stared at the tall figure quietly.

Her world has color for the first time...
