damn it

Qu Zhong didn't have time to answer Dou Cheng's series of questions, because there was a knock on the door, and blind Liu unexpectedly came to the door.Being interrupted by such an interruption, Dou Cheng naturally stopped asking, and instead began to speculate on the purpose of blind Liu's visit.

However, blind Liu's purpose was far beyond expectations.

"What? You want to transfer the store to me unconditionally?" Dou Cheng was so startled that he jumped up from the sofa, his movements were too big and he almost hit his knee, his face was full of shock and disbelief: "I said, old Liu, you are all right How about running away to amuse me? I am not related to you, but you have been fooled and sent me for nothing?"

"You just think I'm being tricked by ghosts, anyway, I'm serious." Blind Liu is rare to be serious: "The store will be renovated in a few days, and the work will be done after moving the things in and putting them on. I rented another room for temporary storage of things, it is a small warehouse over the vegetable market, you will move with me in a few days."

Dou Cheng simply...doesn't know what to say.

"No, since you have made up your mind not to do this business, why are you still renting a shop?" No matter how you think about it, Dou Cheng thinks that Liu Xiazi's behavior is very puzzling.

"My old things and things are piled up in a warehouse, so I can't just throw them away." Blind Liu smacked his lips: "I said, do you know how to welcome guests? Why don’t you pour me a glass? Go, go, pour me a glass of water, put some sugar, I’m not used to drinking plain water that tastes like alkali powder.”

Dou Cheng... Dou Cheng wanted to kick this old thing, but he held back and got up to get a glass of sugar water.

Blind Liu took a long sip from the water glass and felt relieved: "This sugar water is better, it will taste sweet in your mouth!"

"Hurry up and leave after drinking. I don't want your shop for whoever you like." Dou Cheng never believed that the pie fell from the sky, and it really fell. He also firmly believed that the stuffing contained rat poison.

"Hey, that can't be done." Blind Liu put the cup on the tea table: "You also know that I'm a lonely family, and I have a big family and no descendants to inherit it, so I have an unspeakable relationship with you kid. I just wanted to take advantage of you, why are you so ignorant?"

"Then I thank you for thinking about it." Dou Cheng rolled his eyes: "I love so and so, anyway, I don't want it, have you finished drinking the water? Hurry up and leave!"

"Xiao Cheng." Qu Zhong, who had been sitting by the side without saying a word, suddenly interrupted Dou Cheng, and he looked at blind Liu: "After all, the Xiangxie shop deals with dead people, and Xiao Cheng has no special skills. , staying in that kind of place for a long time is not good for him, so this matter can only be taken care of.”

"There are no absolutes in everything." Blind Liu said cheerfully, "As the saying goes, what can't be broken can't be built. Some things, since they are unavoidable, should be used to accept them. What's wrong with dealing with dead people? Are dead people changed by living people?"

Dou Cheng was not so easy to fool, he crossed Erlang's legs, and looked at blind Liu with no expression on his face: "Say Potian, I'm not fooled by you, it's not impossible if you want me to take over, give me a reason why I must take over , otherwise, wherever it is cool, people will stay there!"

"Why do you distrust people so much, brat?" Blind Liu clicked his tongue.

Dou Cheng didn't speak, just stared at him expressionlessly.

Blind Liu had no choice but to sigh and compromise: "Since you want to hear the truth, then I will tell the truth. As for me, my days are numbered, and you know that I am an old bachelor with no children. Whether these extraneous things are brought into life or not, and they cannot be brought into the coffin..."

"Then you can donate to those in need." Dou Cheng interrupted him.

"I'll donate the money." Blind Liu, addicted to cigarettes, rubbed his fingers, asked Dou Cheng for a cigarette, lit it up and took two puffs before continuing, "I'll keep the tube for burial. Don't worry, it's just this shop. Champs's things are not like other things. They just want to sell them with small profits and sell them. They are not people in need, and they don't know how to buy them. They are all left there. Let me think about it carefully, or I think it suits you well."

"...Are you going to die?" Dou Cheng had an expression of 'you're fucking kidding me'.

"Ah." Blind Liu swallowed, the smoke covered his face, making it hard to see his expression: "Liver cancer, I was diagnosed just two days ago, if it was detected earlier, I wouldn't bother to bother. But it’s just a matter of time. The new store’s lease contract has been signed, and the renovation is coming to an end. I can leave the goods alone, but the workers’ money has to be paid. Originally, I originally planned to wait until the renovation was completed to settle the wages. The store will be empty if it is empty. When the three-year lease contract expires, the landlord will sublet it. Those goods can be handled by others at that time, but this is not you? I thought, it’s good to be a neighbor, If you throw something away, you throw it away. Why don't you give it to you? If you're really not interested, just make do with it. It's almost time to throw it away. I'll collect the money from the sale and treat it as a reward for helping me deal with the aftermath. To be honest, this store, after all, is my decades of painstaking efforts, and I really can't get over it just like that, because you, Uncle Liu, after all, are just a commoner in the world of mortals!"

I'm really going to die!

Dou Cheng's eyes widened in shock, and suddenly he remembered something: "You asked me out for dinner before and said you had something to tell me, could it be this?" After a pause, he remembered another thing: "How did you find me here? "Although this community is old, it occupies a large area. There are dozens of buildings, each with more than ten floors. Without the exact location, it is undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Hey, I've been with you for two days, and you didn't find out." Blind Liu said with a smile, "I wanted to talk to you about it after the decoration was completed, but you ran into me when you walked to my shop today." , I thought it would be better to hit the sun than choose the day, so I might as well talk to you."

Just listen to Blind Liu, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, Dou Cheng still thinks... very mysterious, after all, he and Liu Blind have been at loggerheads since they paid protection fees, and it’s not an exaggeration to say that enemies hate each other, but now this enemy To actually hand over the inheritance to him, this matter is really unbelievable no matter how you look at it.And Dou Cheng always feels that things are not so simple. Blind Liu is an old man who runs the train with his mouth full of words. Who knows if what he said is true or not, but it is not true to make it up to give him an outsider's property for nothing. brain sick...

For a moment, Dou Cheng was at a loss.

But no matter what the facts are, he doesn't intend to just accept it.

Blind Liu also expressed his understanding, and only asked him to think about it, then got up and left.

When they left, Dou Cheng and Qu Zhong looked at each other.

"Old Qu, what do you think of this matter?" After a while, Dou Cheng couldn't help breaking the silence.

Qu Zhong: "Everything is fine."

Dou Cheng sticks to his original intention and does not want to accept the gift from Blind Liu.Although he is a gangster, he considers himself a gangster with principles and a bottom line.

Dou Cheng made up his mind not to accept Blind Liu's property, but in the end he accepted it, just because Blind Liu's words touched his overly cold and not very flexible nerves.

Blind Liu said: "... If you really feel that you will not be rewarded for nothing, then every Qingming Festival, remember to come to my grave to burn a stick of incense and a handful of paper money."

Dou Cheng didn't like it in his heart, but it was as hard as a clam shell: "You see, what's the use of cheating for a lifetime, earning these fortunes is not just giving me an outsider for nothing, so I have to live my life in style. , what should be eaten, what should be drunk and what should be enjoyed, enjoy life as you want, and must implement the creed of being alone, so that the whole family will not be hungry if one person eats enough."

Blind Liu's condition deteriorated quickly, and he felt that his complexion and spirit were quite normal not long ago, but within half a month after handling the matter, he completely fell out of bed and lost his shape. He was already thin, but now he has become more A skeleton frame wrapped in folded leather made the cataract eyes bulge even bigger, making it a bit scary to look at.

"I've already planned to stay in the hospital until I can't move. I'll pay enough money, hang medicine to relieve the pain, and then hire a nurse to help me. An'an will die alive. After death, the body will be cremated. Please dig a hole for the ashes and bury them.” Even though the oil has run out, blind Liu’s mouth is still not idle, but he is not so owed: “I never thought you would come to take care of me, hey ...It's worth it! But I have to tell you something, after I die, you can just find a clean place to dig me and bury me, you don't need to make a fuss, oh yes, the compass under my pillow, you will Don’t forget when I die, press my ashes on top of me, put them in a box and bury them together, and I’m dead, I don’t want to die without peace.”

Dou Cheng hadn't realized what the last sentence meant, but Qu Zhong understood it, and nodded on behalf of Dou Cheng to reassure Blind Liu.

After midnight that night, blind Liu went.

He died quite peacefully, his stomach was so distended that he didn't make a sound, and he suffered a little in the half hour when he finally died. What's the matter, the people next to him watched but tightened their hearts.

As soon as Blind Liu died, taking advantage of the time when the doctor extubated the tube, Qu Zhong took out the compass from under the pillow and pressed it to his heart. The car sent the body to the funeral home for cremation.The final burial was also in accordance with Liu Xiazi's request during his lifetime, and Qu Zhong personally saw a piece of land for the burial. Of course, the compass was also put in the soil together with the urn cover box as required.

Until he came down from the mountain, Dou Chengcheng was still in a trance without any sense of reality.Such a big living person, if he said he was gone, he would be gone, and he couldn't say whether he was sad or not, but he was a little bit unable to recover.

However, life and death come and go in this world, and the days should go on or have to go on.

The shop has been renovated, and the things that were stored in the warehouse have been moved here and arranged, just waiting for Dou Cheng to open for business.As a layman who doesn't understand anything, it is definitely unrealistic to open a funeral shop. After thinking about it, he simply changed the signboard and changed it to an ordinary Champs shop.

What Dou Cheng didn't expect was that on the first day of opening, an uninvited guest ushered in.

Speaking of this unexpected guest, he is still an old acquaintance.

It was Qu Jiabao's fairy, Shan Ion.

It was also Dou Cheng's unlucky luck. At that time, Qu Zhong was helping someone deliver goods, and the little ghost habitually went to the death place, and he was the only one in the store. It was a perfect day for death.
