Starting from the ultimate, the keeper behind the Nine Gates

"Come on Xiaojiang, this is yours!"

Lao Li thoughtfully put Jiang Xing's share in front of him.

Because there was no one in the store, he didn't go back to the kitchen, so he simply pulled a chair and sat down next to it.

He asked casually: "Xiao Jiang, has your Yi Zhuang opened?"

Jiang Xing, who had just picked up the noodles and was about to start eating, suddenly froze.

Looking at the delicious color and flavor of the pig's trotters noodles in the bowl, I suddenly felt that they were not very fragrant.

However, he still said truthfully: "No..."

Not to mention opening, he is still taking on other jobs to repair the Yi Village.

It’s probably rare to find people who support their main business with a side job.

This Lao Li Noodle House was taken over by Lao Li from his father. Mr. Jiang used to eat noodles here often.

When they were young, Lao Li had a good relationship with the old man, and he was not as taboo about Yizhuang as others.

Therefore, he was very happy to see Jiang Xing come back to inherit his old family business.

He even regarded Jiang Xing as his junior.

But after hearing what he said, Lao Li sighed worriedly.

"Alas, it's no better than before."

"Cremation is popular in most places, and people can leave the body at home for at most one day."

In the past, when someone died in the family, they would set up a mourning hall and stay in mourning for seven days.

Because on the seventh day, the souls of the deceased will return to the world to see their loved ones for the last time before being buried.

It's okay in winter, but in the hot weather in summer, corpses are prone to decay, and even if they're not handled properly, some corpses will flow out.

So at that time, most people nearby would set up their mourning halls directly in Yizhuang.

The people who keep the village have special techniques to keep the corpse from decaying.

Therefore, although the business of Yizhuang was not very prosperous in the past, it was still pretty good.

It's just that with the development of the times, people pay less and less attention to this aspect.

Many customs and rules have also been discarded as dross.

As a result, few people now know the existence of Yizhuang, let alone what it does.

It's not surprising that so many days have passed for Xiao Jiang, and he still hasn't received a single business order.

Thinking of Lao Li, he sighed deeply.

Seeing that Uncle Li was more worried than him, Jiang Xing smiled bitterly and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Li, it will be fine."

But he didn't say any more.

Jiang Xing also knew clearly that the current Yizhuang was destined to no longer be able to follow the previous business model and make money by collecting ordinary corpses.

So he was going to take a different approach and either not open the business or open it for half a year!

Moreover, he now has a certain financial background and is not in a hurry.

Lao Li originally wanted to comfort Jiang Xing, but unexpectedly he was comforted in the opposite direction.

He was also a little embarrassed, "Oh, look at me, I've delayed your meal."

After saying that, he stood up and put the chair back again.

Jiang Xing didn't care, after all, they were caring about him.

but……

He glanced at the clock on the wall.

It seems to be dinner time now. Why are there only two of them in this store?

Seeing his actions, Lao Li didn't wait for Jiang Xing to ask.

Then he said: "The son of Mrs. Yang from the paper-making shop got into a fight with someone outside and ended up in the hospital. His condition is not good."

"In addition to the old lady, their family only has a teenage grandson. I'm going to go over and see if I need any help."

"So we are not going to open at night."

As he spoke, he pointed to the closed sign hanging outside.

Jianghang...

I was so hungry just now that I didn't even notice.

He didn't want to delay others' business, so he planned to finish eating and leave quickly.

I just wanted to urge my brother, but when I turned around, I found that the other person had already put the chopsticks away.

There was nothing in the bowl, not even the noodle soup left.

The man sat there honestly, with his eyes still fixed on the part in front of him.

Jiang Xing ignored his gaze and silently speeded up his eating.

While Lao Li was packing up everything, he finished eating the noodles.

"Uncle Li pays the bill!"

Jiang Xing handed over the money.

Lao Li happily accepted it and saw that the younger brother was still staring at the food outlet.

He said: "Is Xiao Zhang not full? I'll give you the next one!"

Lao Li is on the plump side, with a spacious entrance hall and a large and plump couple. When he smiles, his eyebrows and eyes are curved, showing kindness.

The younger brother opened his thin lips slightly, as if he was about to say something.

However, Jiang Xing blocked him sideways and said first, "No, Uncle Li, he's full."

"Go ahead and get busy."

Hearing this, the little brother pursed his lips slightly and nodded slowly for a long time.

Seeing this, Lao Li gave up the idea of ​​firing again and followed the two of them out.

"Okay, you guys walk slowly, I'm going to the hospital first."

Lao Li smiled and asked them to go back, then stretched out his hand to stop a taxi.

Jiang Xing responded, but out of politeness did not leave immediately, preparing to watch him get into the car.

Although it is already evening, it is still relatively muggy since it is summer.

By the time Lao Li got into the car, sweat was already forming on his forehead.

"Master People's Hospital."

After he reported his address to the driver, he looked out the window and waved to reassure them to go back.

But this time!

Jiang Xing, who was standing by the roadside, suddenly shrank his pupils when he saw this.

Then he dodged and rushed to the car.

He suddenly reached out and opened the car door.

Lao Li was startled by his inexplicable behavior. He was about to ask what happened.

However, when he met those dark eyes, he couldn't help but feel nervous.

Jiang Xing's expression gradually became solemn as he looked at the rapidly gathering black energy at Old Li Yintang.

The darkening of the Yintang indicates that disaster is coming.

This is the most common situation in facial feng shui.

According to the degree of color, distinguish the size and severity.

This in itself is not surprising.

But what's strange is that in just a few breaths, the black energy in Old Li Yintang's area has become as thick as ink.

Changes in facial appearance often do not happen overnight.

The black energy that gathered in such a short period of time proved to be a disaster!

And judging from the extent of it, there is no doubt that Lao Li will die and his death will be extremely miserable.

But his ears are wide open, and he is obviously a typical long-lived and good person.

This is really not normal!

While Jiang Xing was lost in thought, the driver's urging came from the front.

"Can't leave yet!"

At this time, Lao Li asked tentatively: "Xiao Jiang, what's wrong?"

His smile gradually faded, the wrinkles between his eyebrows gradually deepened, and he looked very cautious and uneasy.

Jiang Xing did not point it out directly, but followed the cover of his pocket, took out two talisman papers from the system and put them into Lao Li's hand.

The voice was low: "Uncle Li, some things cannot be completely foreseen, so it is difficult to avoid them."

“You must keep this thing close to your body!”

Uncle Li took good care of him on weekdays, and Jiang Xing considered himself not a cold-hearted person.

It's impossible to just watch something happen to someone.

Although there is a big age difference between Lao Li and Grandpa Jiang Xing, they had a good relationship because they could chat with each other at that time.

Naturally, we know that Mr. Jiang is a man of real ability.

For various reasons, he knew the function of the spell in his hand.

It is nothing more than protection against disasters.

So Jiang Xing didn't need to be too straightforward to understand what he meant.

Lao Li was stiff for a moment, but the next second, Jiang Xing's familiar smile appeared on his face.

His eyes are full of kindness, and his voice is rich and has the power to soothe people.

"Don't worry, Uncle Li won't worry."

"Go back!"
