All the windows in the coffin shop were hung with heavy black curtains, preventing any sunlight from getting in.
This is obviously inconsistent with common sense.
You must know that even ordinary people know that such a place with heavy yin energy must be ventilated as much as possible.
What's more, Shopkeeper Liu is an ancestral corpse-bearer.
The deaf mother-in-law asked Zhao Aiguo to open all the curtains, Liu Mina said timidly.
"Grandma, if you do this, my grandpa will be angry."
The deaf mother-in-law smiled coldly.
"Don't be afraid, little Mina, grandma is here."
"Besides, it's not necessarily your 'grandpa' who is angry!"
Zhao Aiguo brings good things to one side and is full of righteousness, so he is naturally not afraid of the weird environment in the house.
But when he opened the curtains, he was still shocked by the layout:
Eight black and red coffins were neatly arranged on both sides of the room.
Seven thick white candles were placed on the top of the coffin, forming the shape of the Big Dipper.
The bottom is padded with mahogany wood, and there are hemp ropes falling on the beams.
There are four white paper figures in front and behind each coffin.
The paper man's cheeks were painted red, the corners of his mouth were raised, and his smile was stiff and scary.
Especially a pair of blood-painted eyes, which seem to be staring straight at you no matter what angle you look at them.
The deaf mother-in-law had a solemn face.
"If you don't draw eyes on the paper, you'll end up with the eyes on your body!"
"How come Old Liu Tou doesn't understand this?"
"It seems that something dirty has fascinated him!"
"Is there really something dirty here?!" After hearing the deaf mother-in-law's words, Zhao Aiguo immediately stepped in front of the mother-in-law and the little girl.
"In broad daylight and with clear sky, I don't believe that evil and evil things dare to come out and harm people!"
The deaf mother-in-law looked at the upright Zhao Aiguo and nodded secretly.
This is what officials, parents of the common people, should look like!
After clearing her throat, the deaf mother-in-law said loudly to the back room:
"Old Liu Tou, I know you are inside."
"The old lady is here, why don't you come out to greet her!"
As soon as the deaf mother-in-law finished speaking, the thick curtain of the inner room was lifted.
Shopkeeper Liu's gray and thin face was revealed.
Because she is too thin, her eye sockets and cheekbones protrude, and her cheeks and eyes are sunken.
It looks only 30% like a human being and 70% like a ghost!
Shopkeeper Liu may not have expected that the sun would shine in.
He subconsciously covered it with his hands and quickly hid in the darkness.
A voice as sharp as a whistle shouted:
"Mina, you damn girl, who asked you to open the curtains? Why don't you close them quickly!"
The deaf mother-in-law sneered.
"I asked you to! 'Old Liutou', you have the temper to attack the old lady!"
Under the shadow, shopkeeper Liu looked up at the deaf mother-in-law.
The dry eyes were blank at first, as if they didn't recognize him;
Then he showed ecstasy, and when he was about to say something, he was replaced by ferociousness.
"Damn old woman, have you lived enough?"
"As the saying goes, 'Everyone sweeps the snow in front of their own door and doesn't care about the frost on other people's tiles'!"
"I advise you not to meddle in other people's business, otherwise you will risk your life if you are not careful!"
The deaf mother-in-law sneered again and again.
"No one can take away this old woman's life except Grandpa Wu Chang, so don't worry about it!"
"Let me ask you: Who is your last name and where are you from?!"
"Why did you come to Liujia Village to harm people!"
Shopkeeper Liu didn't answer and started to laugh sharply.
Then with a wave of his hand, the fifty-six white candles on the eight coffins were immediately lit.
Then there was a crackling sound.
The door behind the deaf mother-in-law closed tightly with a bang.
The curtains were instantly closed, leaving only the pale white light from the candles in the room.
"The old woman is meddling in her own business, so I'll kill you as well, just enough to get enough of the eight ghosts to carry the coffin!"
After "Shopkeeper Liu" finished speaking, he scurried up to Zhao Aiguo at the front like a monkey.
"Kill you first!"
But the moment his hand touched Zhao Aiguo, it was bounced away by a faint layer of light.
Shopkeeper Liu's face was filled with disbelief: "Loved by the common people, protected by official authority?!"
At the moment when he was stunned, the deaf mother-in-law bit her middle finger and touched it between shopkeeper Liu's eyebrows.
"Old Liutou, wake up quickly and tell me what the hell is hurting you!"
"Shopkeeper Liu" had a struggling look on his face, and then he squatted on the ground holding his head and screaming in pain.
He seemed to have exhausted all his strength and shouted loudly:
"The dead guest, the corpse bearer, eight blood coffins returned to Xiliang!"
