Chapter 105 The eldest princess wants to treat again?(1/2)
Walking from the narrow alley to the back wall of the coffin shop, Li Nanke turned over and jumped in.
There are some sawdust, wood shavings, and branches-like scraps piled up in the backyard. There are several coffins that have not yet been decorated and painted, as well as some tools, in the corner of the wall.
Li Nanke did not hear any sound, and the surroundings were extremely quiet.
He carefully pushed open a half-open door, and the cold air coming towards him made people feel the illusion of entering the ice warehouse.
This is a very spacious and large house.
There was no too much furniture, only a pair of neatly arranged coffins.
The light in the room was also extremely dark. The beam of light coming through the window hit the two coffins in front, and the flying dust mixed with the flying dust flew around.
"Da da...da da..."
An old man with a hunched body was leaning over a coffin lid, holding a tiny awl in his hand, with something engraved.
Li Nanke tried his best to breathe and looked at each place carefully.
He held the hilt of the knife in one hand and held the talisman that was plundered from Yin Wusha in the other hand.
Although he didn't know what these talismans were, he probably wouldn't be able to get anything if he brought such a powerful person with him.
"Does the guest want to hold a coffin?"
The old man's cold voice rang without warning.
Li Nanke was stunned and immediately looked at the old man with his back facing him and his coffin lid, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
The distance is so far and hidden so deep that you can even detect it.
Is this old man a master?
"I have set up a brand for every price coffin. If you like, you can choose whatever customers like."
The old man worked on his own, his voice as dead as a dead wood without any emotional fluctuations, as dull as these lifeless coffins.
There was even an illusion that the old man was a walking zombie.
Li Nanke glanced at a row of coffins of various fine materials, and stopped hiding them. He came out and asked, "Are you the shop owner?"
"What boss, I'm just a dead old man buried half of his body in the soil."
The old man laughed.
But this laughter is also emotional and extremely empty.
Li Nanke plucked up the courage to walk to the old man.
The other party was thin and his face was very thin, as if it was skinny. Wang Baochuan probably didn't have such thinness even though he had eaten weeds for 18 years.
"I am the yamen's lord." Li Nanke said.
"oh."
The old man just responded and said nothing else.
Looking at the old man carved a rune that he couldn't understand on the cover of the coffin, Li Nanke said, "Did that girl just now customize the coffin with you?"
"What else can I do except custom-made coffins for those who come here?"
"Who are you customizing the coffin?"
"The guest doesn't take the initiative to say it, I never ask about it, old man." The old man took out a knife and carefully cut it on the edge of the coffin lid, with his expression on his face full of concentration.
Li Nanke asked again: "What coffin is she custom-made?"
"The one behind you."
Li Nanke turned around.
In front of me is a coffin made of ebony.
The materials used in coffin are all expensive, and the twelve sides of the octagonal are made of wooden mortise, which shows the old man's exquisite craftsmanship skills.
There is no coffin lid at the moment, and it is lined with a layer of silk cushion.
It seems that the old man is now wearing a coffin lid made by Jiang Min... "This coffin costs a lot of money."
“That’s natural.”
The old man didn't say how much Jiang Min spent, but compared with other coffins, it should be the best grade in this coffin shop.
If it weren't for the most important person, how could he be so attentive?
Li Nanke frowned.
After thinking for a moment, he asked the old man again: "Did that woman say anything?"
"I don't know, the old man was deaf and could only hear what coffin the customer wanted to customize. No one else could listen. When he heard it, it would rot in his stomach and he couldn't spit out a word."
The old man blew off the wood chips and said calmly.
Li Nanke laughed and gave a thumbs up and said, "It's good to have principles."
But the next second, the old man said, "Unless you give money."
“…”
Li Nanke took out a little broken silver and threw it over: "What did she say?"
The old man didn't even look at it.
If you think it’s too little, you have to pay more!
Li Nanke touched his clothes and handed over the silver notes that had been searched from Yin Wusha with some pain.
As soon as I put it on the lid of the coffin, it disappeared in a flash.
Li Nanke blinked, and the old man was still lying on the coffin lid to work, as if he was not the one who took the silver note just now.
"She only asked me one sentence."
The old man raised his thin skeleton face, with a little smile in his deep eyes, and said slowly, "Can you sleep with two people in this coffin?"
Two people?
Li Nanke subconsciously glanced at the coffin.
Can accommodate two people.
"Is this gone?" Looking at the old man who lowered his head to work, Li Nanke looked extremely unkind and held the hilt tightly.
This is robbing money.
"The money spent is like the water that has been poured out, and it's hard to want it." The old man grinned, "If you want to die, you can't stop it no matter how hard you stop it. That's fate."
Li Nanke took a few deep breaths and turned around and left.
"The guest doesn't want your coffin?"
The empty and dull voice of the old man behind him floated quietly.
Li Nanke paused and turned to look at him: "What did you say?" Under the dusty sunlight, the old man was as thin as a piece of paper, blown away by the wind at any time.
The old man said: "If you spend money, it means you have ordered a coffin. The customer is not going to take it away?"
Li Nanke smiled: "What's the matter? I'm a bundled business. Is there any program that can make me happy? I'm in great health and can withstand it."
"If the guest doesn't like these styles, I will do my own thing and give you a pair." The old man got up with some difficulty and pointed to a coffin in the darkness of the shadows.
The coffin is not clear, only a corner of paint is exposed.
Li Nanke was full of doubts in his heart, not understanding what the old man was going to do. Could it be that someone else was planning to kill him?
But it doesn't look like it.
And he didn't have any murderous aura on his body.
Li Nanke approached the coffin.
The coffin's contour gradually became clearer and bright red. It was made of unknown material. It was tightly wrapped around the body by pieces of talismans.
Li Nanke felt inexplicably uncomfortable when he saw this coffin.
The stomach and intestines seem to be rolling.
But what is even more strange is that he actually felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen the same coffin somewhere... "Customer, do you need someone to carry it for you?"
The old man stood behind him and asked.
"No, let me give it to you." Li Nanke said, turned around and left.
"One day, the guest will come and ask for it."
The old man said softly.
Listening to the door shut, the old man sighed.
And at this moment, the coffin suddenly shaking.
It swayed quite violently.
As the coffin lid slowly shook and opened a crack,
To be continued...
