”Mm, that's true, so I ask for your help. Let my daughter walk away in peace.”
The old man didn't say anything else after hearing this. He stood up and slowly said, ”I just happened to have a coffin that was just finished. If you're in a rush, then use it first.”
The Old Master brought Tang Guofeng to the backyard and lifted up the yellow cloth, ”Take a look to see if the size is suitable. Someone ordered this coffin a few days ago, but they haven't been able to get it.”
”Little Tian, open the lid of the coffin with your hand.” The old man and I used some strength to open the coffin lid.
”En, big brother's cooking skills aren't inferior to those of the past. This size is just right. Since this is the case, I'll get someone to carry my daughter's corpse inside. Please choose a auspicious time for my daughter to be buried.”
The old man smoked as he slowly said, ”En, no problem. Let's carry your daughter's body inside first. I'll help your daughter choose a tomb in a while. We'll bury her tomorrow.”
”Little Tian, help me get the corpse over here.” A few burly men brought down a stretcher covered with a white cloth. I helped them carry the female corpse into the coffin and set it up in the mourning hall. I looked at the girl carefully. From her appearance, she should be around my age.
With her large eyes and oval face, her exquisite facial features appeared very pure. Her figure was not bad either. Her chest was bulging as if it had been stuffed with steamed buns. It was a pity she was so beautiful, and she wasn't married yet.
The old man's face darkened as he took a deep breath and exhaled the smoke ring. The smoke drifted into the coffin and circled the woman's body.
In the blink of an eye, the girl's face turned ashen, and the white creases on her arms began to show dark purple spots. However, there was a ball of black Qi between the girl's eyebrows that refused to disperse.
Tang Guofeng frowned and asked anxiously, ”What's going on?”
”How did your daughter die?!” The old man sat down on a chair at the side and puffed on his cigarette as he slowly said, ”I can see that she's very resentful. She died a violent death and died on the streets.”
”The accident happened very suddenly. The traffic police said it was a traffic accident because my daughter was drinking wine.” When Tang Guofeng said this, his expression became somewhat ugly. The loss of one's beloved daughter was not something that could be understood by others. Some people limited their pain to the surface, while others hid it deep within their hearts.
Of course, people like Tang Guofeng would not cry and cry like other people. They would also lose their status.
”So it was a wine driver?” The old man glared at me, and I tactfully stood to the side without saying anything. Weren't all the current rich second generations like that? They wouldn't die if they didn't court their own deaths.
”Let's talk after we leave. Little Tian covered the coffin and lit the incense burner to make a memorial tablet for the dead to rest in peace.”
The Old Master and Tang Guofeng walked out of the backyard, I took a small incense burner from the shelf and lit up a handful of sandalwood incense. The mourning hall had been set up, ”Beauty, you can just stay here for the night, tomorrow I'll give you a good place to rest in peace. In your next life, you should learn to be smart and not drive after drinking!”
”Pa …” With a crisp sound, the censer suddenly exploded. It scared me so much that I sat down on the floor and looked at the censer with a frightened expression.
”Is there a need for a joke? I know I'm the most despicable, so please calm down!” Just as I was about to stand up, I saw a slender, pale woman's hand come out of the coffin and rest on the edge.
”Ga Ga …” ”Kaka!” Both of his hands were covered in corpse spots. His fingernails were like sharp blades, and they left a few deep marks on the coffin.
I scrambled up from the ground. The girl had already sat up. Her originally beautiful face turned blue. Her smooth and tender skin, which was as soft as a white lotus, also shriveled and turned black … Until two fangs came out of his mouth.
”Ah …” I let out a scream of terror and tried to duck back under the coffin.
”Ga Ga …” The female corpse opened her mouth and let out a mechanical sound as an opening appeared in her mouth.
”My dear lady, I've never offended you. You don't like to eat incense, so I can give you a cigarette!” My heart jolted. 'Is this the same year as when I was too old? The person that died a few days ago is actually alive!'
”What is it …” ”Hurry up and come out to sell!” The old tutor's voice was quite useful as the female corpse in front of him collapsed with a thud.
I scrambled up from the ground and ran in front of the old man. I panted, ”I faked my corpse …” ”The female corpse is alive!” Stinking brat! ”What nonsense …” The old man hit me on the head with his pipe, and said a little angrily.
Tang Guofeng sighed and said in a deep voice, ”Big Brother, please help me a bit. My daughter won't become a ghost, will she?”
”From the look of your daughter's birthday, her lifespan has yet to arrive. Furthermore, those who die a violent death will not be at peace, and will turn into evil spirits.” The old man frowned slightly and pinched his fingers for a moment, ”I think we should hurry up and bury him tomorrow. Otherwise, the grievances will only get worse and worse. We'll be in trouble then.”
When Tang Guofeng heard this, his face immediately turned pale, ”Then we'll all listen to Elder Liu. I'll definitely reward him handsomely later.”
”Little Tian, prepare the things you need to be buried. Seal up the coffin tonight. We'll head up the mountain tomorrow morning.” I still had a lingering feeling that something was going to happen.
