In a dream.
I found myself standing outside the yard of Li Miao's house, with a woman in a white dress standing in front of me.
Turn your back to me.
I knew this should be Zhou Min - she pulled me into a dream again.
Since I don't understand Corpse Language, this method of communication may be more convenient.
"Sister Zhou."
I shouted.
She turned around.
Then, I froze.
Because Zhou Min, who was in the dream at this time, no longer had the eerie atmosphere and feeling before. He looked very peaceful, like a living person.
His face was no longer pale and his expression was soft.
"Xiao Wu, thank you."
This was the first time she really spoke, and her voice seemed quite gentle.
"Ah, Sister Zhou? This, you..."
I didn't react to this change for a while - even in my dream.
After all, from the moment I met her, she was just a terrifying floating corpse floating in a puddle. From then on, I was very strong-willed and never gave me a chance to think or choose anything I did.
He's so amiable now!
Without a second thought, most of her resentment must have been dissipated, right?
Facing her thanks, I scratched the back of my head and said.
"You're welcome. Sister Zhou, you have also given me a lot of benefits."
As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I felt a little regretful.
It seems a little too utilitarian?
What if she gets angry?
But Zhou Min was not angry, but instead had a smile on his lips.
"I have to thank you for that. Although the contract is a kind of restraint, I can still feel whether you take it to heart. What's more, I used some means to force you to help."
At this time, Zhou Min no longer had the terrifying sense of oppression and terror before.
It's like a friend you know but not too familiar with.
With a little sincerity, but also with some politeness and pleasantries.
I'm a little embarrassed.
"But Sister Zhou... I still failed to kill the culprit who killed you. Our dark covenant has not been completely completed yet."
"It's considered half-dead, right? In fact, everything you have done for me is already worth a corpse pill. Don't be anxious about the follow-up. Kill that evil cultivator again when you have the chance. He has a very high level of cultivation, thank you for your hard work. "
In fact, I want to say, of course I am anxious!
Unless that guy dies, our dark pact is not completely over. On the road of spiritual practice in the future, I might become an inner demon at some point and ruin my cultivation.
Of course, since they had such a good attitude, I certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to say anything depressing, so I smiled and nodded.
Zhou Min said again.
"My body has been picked up from the evil formation at the bottom of the river by Mr. Li, so the remaining soul is free. Xiao Wu, please sleep well. I will go back to my parents' house to have a look."
I know that she should be looking for her parents in her dream.
"Okay, Sister Zhou, please be safe on the road...well, I'm used to it."
I'm dizzy!
A powerful and vicious corpse, what else should we pay attention to?
And it's just a dream for a remnant soul.
It was her gentle attitude now and she looked like a normal living person that made me subconsciously blurt out words like "pay attention to safety".
She couldn't help but laugh.
As soon as he turned around, the scene in front of him became blurry.
She left my dream...
the next morning.
Because I had to rush back to the coffin shop from Li Miao's house, I got up an hour early.
Seeing that Li Miao was still sleeping soundly and snoring lightly, she didn't bother to wake him up.
I put on my clothes and shoes quietly, opened the door and walked into the yard.
After all, not everyone can sleep well!
My master even said that it is very rare for Lao Cao and his lineage of coffin bearers to be able to pass down the "sleeping skill" - it is rare for a small folk dharma lineage to have such a profound method.
Even among those mysterious sects, a method of this level is considered very impressive.
Lao Cao would pass it on to me entirely for the sake of my master.
Even if he has a good relationship with Li Miao, it is impossible to teach him!
So Li Miao still has to rely on normal sleep and rest to recover her strength...
Of course, it must be much faster than ordinary people.
I went to take a look at the woodshed in the corner of the yard.
The female corpse, Zhou Min, was lying quietly on a straw mat spread on the ground, as if she was asleep.
It's just dawn now, and the east is turning white, and the sun is about to rise.
When all kinds of femininity were most frightened, she naturally lost the ability to move and hid in the woodshed.
"Sister Zhou, please have a good rest during the day. I will take you to the grave at night."
I also said hello, but I didn’t know if she could hear me.
Heizi rubbed against my feet affectionately and made a humming sound, which was very cute.
I held its big furry head and rubbed it for a while, then went out and walked to the coffin shop.
There are still several kilometers to go.
It's a pity that my Yin Paper Technique has just touched the threshold, and is not enough to drive the paper horse to carry me running. So last night Lao Cao brought back both paper horses...
"Forget it, just think of it as a morning walk and look at the scenery."
The Sichuan and Chongqing areas are foggy and frosty in winter.
Especially on the banks of the Sichuan River.
From early morning to noon, there is mist, covering the ever-flowing surging river.
I hummed a little tune and walked back to the coffin shop easily.
Wang Hu has already gotten up and is cleaning the house.
He was floating in the air, working with two brooms and a rag "remotely" at the same time.
The broom seemed to automatically clean up the dust on the ground, while the rag wiped the ready-made coffins piled in the corner.
If an ordinary person saw it, he would probably pee on the spot.
"Ah, Brother Wu is back!"
When he saw me, he immediately smiled and said hello.
When Wang Hu cleans the room in this way, he is actually constantly exercising the strength of his soul. Cleaning the coffin shop is also a kind of spiritual practice, killing two birds with one stone.
"Well, Uncle Hu, you are busy first. I will pack my schoolbag for school and go to the bun shop to buy breakfast for you and Lao Cao."
I said as I walked upstairs.
When I passed by the storage area in the corridor in front of my room, I saw the two paper horses looking a little dusty. The colors are not as bright as before - probably because they have been ridden by us all the time recently.
I patted the paper horse's head gently and said with a smile.
"The horses are so good! It's time for Lao Cao to find time to repaint them or renovate them. Hahaha."
When I entered the house, I seemed to hear the cheerful neighing of horses in my ears.
It seems that they are very happy and think that I am a loyal person.
…
go to school!
Wang Dachun and Zeng Jin were still waiting for me with their group of friends at the three-way intersection between Lianghe Main Street and Lianghe Bridge. Seeing me coming, today they all bowed together and shouted "Hello, boss" and "Good morning, boss" in unison.
Some of the vendors around us looked at us strangely or with disdain.
This makes me very embarrassed!
In later Internet language, it was equivalent to "social death". I was so embarrassed that I could dig out a two-bedroom apartment with my toes on the ground!
Wang Dachun even came up to him with his face licked, and said it as if he wanted to take credit.
"What's wrong, boss? Are you happy? I learned it from Hong Kong movies. When the younger brothers see the boss, they have to say hello like this."
My face turned black, as black as soot in a pot.
"Go away! You idiot."
I raised my foot and kicked him on the butt.
"Ah! My ass."
The idiot screamed and flew out.
Everyone, including Zeng Jin, burst into laughter.
Full of sunshine and vitality of middle school students.
I laughed.
Well, that’s great!
