I followed Zhang Lingchuan all the way and finally stopped at the door of a dilapidated house.

He opened the door and took me in, and I immediately smelled the overwhelming scent of incense and candles.

Looking around, this is a small incense paper money shop.

I think Zhang Lingchuan would stay in this place when he was not alive.

The shop is not big, and there is only a small attic on the second floor where you can sleep.

Zhang Lingchuan dropped a set of clothes from upstairs.

"Hurry up and take a shower and change your clothes. You smell like rotten fish and it makes my balls hurt."

I picked up the clothes and put it to my nose and smelled it. It was indeed fishy and smelly. I immediately took the clothes and went to take a shower.

It was my first time to use a shower. Because I didn’t know much about it, water sprayed all over me as soon as I turned it on.

I was startled at the time and quickly turned around to peek at Zhang Lingchuan, fearing that he would see my embarrassment.

However, Zhang Lingchuan just held a cigarette in his mouth, bent down and opened a secret door under the shop, and then stuffed the corpses inside.

"Boss, don't we have to bury Taoist Master Xuanqing? Why are you still stuffing people into the cellar?"

He kept moving his hands and said without looking back: "Take your bath, kid, mind your own business."

"I'm eighteen, not young!"

He ignored me, and after stuffing all the corpses in, he also jumped in.

If you don't tell me, I won't tell you. I continued to get into the bathroom and studied for a long time before I figured out the shower thing. Then I poured the pile of shower gel on my body as if it was free.

To be honest, this corpse smell is really the smelliest thing I have ever smelled in my life.

He stunk beyond description, and when mixed with the scent of shower gel, it formed a new type of stink.

I couldn't help but retching in the bathroom while washing.

No wonder people who deal with corpses all year round have a smell on their bodies.

The corpse odor is really hard to wash off.

I almost pricked my skin when I put it in the bathroom, and finally felt that I was no longer smelly.

When he changed his clothes and walked out, Zhang Lingchuan had already walked out of the cellar and was sitting on the sofa with his eyes half closed.

"It took me so long to wash it, I thought you had a haircut in it."

I rolled my eyes and ignored his inappropriate words, thinking to myself, if he could still make a joke, it meant that his mood was somewhat relaxed now.

So I asked him where I would sleep tonight.

He raised his hand and pointed to the small attic upstairs: "You can sleep there from now on."

"how about you?"

Zhang Lingchuan lowered his head, lit a cigarette, and slowly blew out the smoke ring: "I'm sorry, I'll live with these paper figures on the first floor."

I was wiping my hair with my hands and was suddenly stunned. My boss wanted me to sleep in his place? This is not appropriate.

Seeing that I didn't move, he turned his head and glanced at me: "How about you sleep holding these paper figures?"

I turned to look at the pile of paper figures with red lips and green eyes next to Zhang Lingchuan, and found that the face of the paper figure had turned away from me at some point and was looking at me.

I was so scared that I trembled and ran upstairs quickly.

"Thank you, boss. See you tomorrow, boss!"

Zhang Lingchuan replied lazily: "See you tomorrow."

The attic is not big, and can only accommodate a bed, but there are many books on the bedside table.

I picked up a copy and found that it was written on it was "The Secret Book of Lu Ban".

After opening it, what was written inside turned out to be some skills and know-how of carpenters.

I looked at it, and I didn't know when I fell asleep.

When Zhang Lingchuan knocked on the door outside the attic the next day, I opened my eyes and realized that I had slept until noon.

"Wash up quickly and I'll take you to see an old man later."

Old man? I wiped my face with a towel in my hand and asked him what old man we wanted to see.

Zhang Lingchuan turned his head and his eyes fell on my arm: "The ghost face mask on your arm is a little bigger."

"We have to ask someone to find a way to suppress your grimace."

"It's not that far away anyway, it's diagonally opposite us."

That's it.

I couldn't help but feel suspicious.

A capable Dharma king like Zhang Lingchuan could not do anything about the grimace mask on my arm.

Does the old man we are looking for have this ability?

Zhang Lingchuan chuckled: "Do you know where you are now?"

I shook my head violently.

It was the first time in my life that I left the village. I had no idea what kind of place it was.

Zhang Lingchuan said with a smile: "This street is called Funeral Street. Anyone who can open a shop here is doing business with dead people."

At that time, I was still ignorant and didn’t understand what was so strange about this so-called dead man business.

After simply giving instructions, he followed Zhang Lingchuan and walked outside.

Zhang Lingchuan said, after all, this is asking for help.

Out of etiquette, he asked me to buy a few bags of pastries from the port and take them to honor the old man.

"Old man Wang, open the door. I'm Xiaochuanzi." Zhang Lingchuan raised his voice and knocked on the door of a coffin shop.

I have observed carefully that most of the shops on Funeral Street are open from afternoon to early morning.

At noon, the street was quiet except for Zhang Lingchuan's loud voice.

"Clang--" With a sound, Old Man Wang opened the wooden door and cursed angrily.

"Why are you making so much noise so early in the morning? Are you going to buy a coffin and rush to reincarnate?"

I was frightened by his strong appearance and took a step back.

Old Man Wang had a pipe in his mouth and looked like he was in his fifties or sixties.

There is a deep "Sichuan" pattern on his forehead. When angry, he looks a bit majestic.

Zhang Lingchuan smiled apologetically: "Uncle Wang, I am looking for you today because I really have something to ask for your help."

Only then did Mr. Wang see the pastry in my hand: "I just said, you are such an iron rooster, why are you so kind in giving me snacks today? It turns out you are asking for something from me."

Zhang Lingchuan nudged me with his elbow, and I immediately raised my hands to him.

"The boss bought this specially to honor your old man."

After hearing this, Old Man Wang reached out to take the cake and made a way for us to enter.

"Tell me, which one of you is dying soon and wants to buy the coffin from my old Wang family?"

The corners of Zhang Lingchuan's raised mouth froze for a moment: "Old Wang, it's time to change your bad mouth."

Old Wang only lowered his head to open the pastries and ignored Zhang Lingchuan's words.

Zhang Lingchuan had no choice but to find an opportunity by himself and asked him cautiously and hesitantly.

"Old Wang, considering the friendship we have known each other for many years, can you do me a favor?"

Old Man Wang moved his hands and looked at him steadily.

Zhang Lingchuan pulled me to him, then stretched out his hand to reveal the grimace mask on my arm.

Old Man Wang's expression changed.

His pupils suddenly enlarged and his body was still shaking slightly.

"This kid got infected with this stuff-"

"Get out!" Old Wang shouted angrily and suddenly interrupted Zhang Lingchuan's words.

Zhang Lingchuan seemed to have expected Old Man Wang's reaction, and sighed: "I know you can't remove it, but I know you can prevent it from getting bigger."

As he spoke, Zhang Lingchuan took out a stack of red bills from his pocket and smashed them on the table.

It looks like it has to be 1 yuan!

"Don't worry, I understand the rules in the industry. This help is not in vain."

Unexpectedly, the more Zhang Lingchuan talked, the angrier Old Man Wang became.

In the end, Old Man Wang was so angry that he threw us out with all the cakes and snoring.

"Go wherever you came from! Don't die in front of my store!"

I felt distressed and picked up the cakes that fell on the ground one by one: "If you don't help, I won't help. Why are you so angry?"

Zhang Lingchuan lowered his head and cursed, then sneered: "You old man Wang, I beg you so loudly and angrily, but you won't do it. You have to force me to do it, right?"
