Zhou Sheng's mother directly told Zhou Sheng that this store is far away from our home. Fortunately, the owner of the store provides food and accommodation. You can apprentice with peace of mind there. Don't think that everything at home will be fine. You just need to learn
Just get to the craftsmanship.
The implication of Zhou Sheng's mother's words was of course that he should work as an apprentice in other people's shops honestly and not go home easily. These words were also seen by Zhou Sheng as they were. Although he felt slightly unproductive in his heart, he
I am even more happy with myself because I finally have the opportunity to leave home and learn skills to make a living.
But Zhou Sheng never expected that his apprentice would be in such a shop. Zhou Sheng, who had just got off the carriage, was stunned when he stood at the door of the coffin shop.
What does the door of the coffin shop look like? There is a big black plaque and even the door is pitch black. Other stores have their doors wide open and waiters are greeting them at the door. But this store is lifeless with two doors.
It was closed tightly and would not be opened easily. Even the door was completely dark.
On the other hand, there are two large white paper flowers decorated on the door, which makes the coffin shop even more eerie and scary. Ordinary people usually have to take a detour even if they want to walk through the door of the coffin shop, and they will never come here easily. And the owner of the coffin shop also
He knew that everyone was very taboo about his store, so he opened it in the most remote place.
The area around here is basically the edge of the county. There are no decent shops around, and even the houses are just a few dilapidated houses. There are no people walking around. A gust of wind blows up, blowing up a piece of fallen leaves and dust.
, the entrance to the coffin shop seemed to be a different world from the one Zhou Sheng originally lived in.
At this moment, Zhou Sheng seemed to be the only one left in the vast world, standing at the door of such a ghastly coffin shop.
Of course Zhou Sheng's first reaction was to go home quickly, but when he turned around and looked over, he found that the carriage that was supposed to be following him had long since disappeared.
Zhou Sheng never thought that the shop he was apprenticed to this time was actually a coffin shop. This was probably the only coffin shop in the county. Normally, no one would come here unless there was a funeral at home.
It was only because of this that I managed to get here reluctantly.
He couldn't understand why his mother would choose such a shop. You must know that even if he was caused by the owner of the blacksmith shop returning him, it might be difficult to find another shop to be an apprentice in the surrounding area.
There are so many shops in it, both near and far from home.
Only now did he remember that he had not asked his mother before which store she was going to be an apprentice this time. But at that time, his mother had hesitantly dismissed him with other words. Now Zhou
Chengcai realized that his mother had known for a long time that if he had told him that the shop where he wanted to be an apprentice was a coffin shop, Zhou Zheng would probably not have come. But now that he was standing at the door of the coffin shop, he should
What should I do? The carriage behind me has already left again.
Just when Zhou Sheng was hesitant about how to advance or retreat, a dark wind suddenly blew over and created a whirlwind at the door of his friend's store. It blew away, but brought a lot of soil and sand.
These grains of sand hit Zhou Sheng's face. He was in great pain and his eyes were mesmerized. When the student half lowered his head to rub his eyes, he suddenly heard a squeaking sound in his ears. Waiting for him
I raised my head and my vision was a little blurry. When I looked over, I found that the door of the coffin shop had been half opened at some point.
Looking at the coffin shop from the outside, it was dark and gloomy. It was pitch black and nothing could be seen. It was in Zhoushan. He was still a little hesitant. He wondered if someone knew that he was coming, so when he went out to greet him, he suddenly found a hand.
, stretched out from the dark door.
Just because Zhou Sheng is so courageous, if it were Zhou Sheng's elder brother, he would have been scared to death and fell to the ground by now. However, Zhou Sheng's calves are still trembling and he doesn't dare to move.
Half a minute later, you know that hand, and the door to the class slowly opened. It was the sun shining into the door, and Zhou Sheng could see clearly that the person who opened the door was a lean and somewhat old man.
The man must have been used to the sight of nothing in front of the store, so when he slowly opened the two doors and raised his head to look at the sun, he found a young man standing outside the door.
Startled.
Seeing his reaction, Zhou Zheng felt relieved and no longer afraid. Since the other person was afraid of him, what else did he have to be afraid of? When that person walked out of the door just now, Zhou Zheng had already seen it.
, the person has a shadow when the sun shines on it, so this should be the person in the coffin shop, not some monster.
Just when Zhou Sheng was hesitating whether to go up and say hello, the old man had already spoken, "Mini, are you Zhou Sheng?" He was quite enthusiastic. He walked forward in three or two steps and took the bag on his back from Zhou Sheng.
He took Zhou Sheng's arm with one hand and walked towards the coffin shop.
Oops, I didn't expect you to arrive so early today. If I had known I should have opened the door earlier, I guess you have been waiting outside for a long time. You are really old. You are old. You are slower this morning, but you will be fine in the future.
Since you are here, I think the business of this coffin shop will get better and better.
Zhou Sheng didn't know how to react. He wanted to leave. After all, he really didn't want to be an apprentice in a coffin shop. What could he learn here? Make a coffin or lay a wreath?
Learning these is not the profession he wants to engage in in the future, nor does he want to rely on this profession to support himself. But his hand has been held by the man, and he can clearly feel the warmth coming from the man's hand. On the one hand, Zhou Sheng is relieved.
Man is indeed a big living person, but on the other hand, he doesn’t know how to take his hand out of that person’s hand.
Without paying attention, the beast had been dragged into the coffin shop by the little old man. The shop just opened was still very spacious, but there were a few coffins inside, which made people shudder.
The most important thing is that in this coffin shop, except for the door at the door, there are no other lighting officials, so even if the door is wide open, the light in the shop is very dim.
The wall was covered with wreaths and paper figurines, which Zhou Sheng didn't even want to look at. Perhaps sensing Zhou Sheng's resistance, the little old man didn't stay too long in the store, but instead pulled Zhou Sheng through.
The front store leads directly to the backyard of the coffin shop.
