When I saw Lao He, I felt a little sad for the old man, and I couldn't help but want to laugh.

The old man is old, about 1.6 meters tall, with a round face and a chubby face, which was originally very festive. At this time, he was depressed, with low eyebrows and a faceless face.

"Xiao Xu, can't I get out?" Lao He asked me with a sad face.

"Uncle He, don't think about it, as long as you don't do anything illegal and undisciplined, I will release you soon."

Lao He sighed in a long voice:

"Alas...... The old man has been abiding by the law all his life, and if he had known that the person who killed me that day was the head, I wouldn't have been able to take it. You don't need to comfort me, I heard the people inside, even if you believe me and don't know it's a head, I can't get out of it, at least five or six years in prison. Alas, the old man is going to fall in prison. ”

"Don't listen to their nonsense, can there be good people here?"

I said this, and I sighed secretly in my heart.

Being transferred to a detention center for detention is itself a conviction of a person. Although it is not as serious as he said, it will definitely not be able to escape in a year and a half.

Lao He rubbed his hands and said, "Xiao Xu, can I ask you for a favor?" ”

"Say it."

"I'm just a lonely old man, no children and no daughters......"

I hurriedly said, "Stop, you don't even know it's a head, and at most you will be sentenced to six months and eight months." As long as you catch the murderer and verify it, you may be released immediately, don't think about it. ”

Well, this is to explain the aftermath.

I don't know what the bad birds in it told him, and scared the old man like this.

Lao He rubbed his hands again, and he twisted it a little, "I want to say, can you pay me a big account of one thousand and five first?" You won't have to pay the rent for the next quarter. ”

I was stunned: "Big tent? What big tent? ”

Da He, who brought me here, explained to me: "The big tent is the account of the prisoners in it, which is used to replenish clothes, bedding and other daily necessities, as well as to improve the food and smoke cigarettes when the wind is released, all of which must be taken out of the big tent by the prisoners. ”

I hurriedly said no problem, and I will hand over the money for him when I get back.

"Thank you, young man." Lao He nodded gratefully, and suddenly said, "There is one more thing, I have to ask you for a favor." ”

I saw that the old man was really pitiful and lonely, so I asked him to say bluntly, if he can help me, he will definitely help.

He glanced at Da He next to him, who looked a little sneaky, leaned forward, lowered his voice and said, "My shop can't be closed, you have to open it for me." ”

"Huh?" I was stunned for a moment, and then I couldn't stop crying.

This old money fan, all of whom are still thinking about opening a shop to make money, is really out of his eyes.

Da He couldn't help but laugh on the side:

"Old man, Xiao Xu is a person in our bureau, he has to go to work, and he doesn't have time to open a shop for you. Do you have any other relatives or friends at home? We can help you contact them and let them take care of the shop for you. ”

Lao He's expression became a little sad and lonely, and he waved his hand and said:

"Nobody, nobody...... In our line of work, who can escape the five disadvantages and three shortcomings? The old man is destined to commit Lone Star, how can anyone help me. ”

When I heard the words 'five disadvantages and three shortcomings', my heart sank.

The five evils refer to widowhood, widowhood, loneliness, loneliness, and disability; The three deficiencies are blessing, lu, and longevity.

Some people in the Taoist sect will make five evils and three deficiencies because they are too aware of the heavens, and their lives will not be able to be fulfilled.

originally thought that Lao He was an ordinary funeral shop owner, but he didn't expect him to be a cultivator. It's no wonder that Lao Yin gave him the head full of resentment for safekeeping.

I said, "Uncle He, I have to go to work, so I can't help you set up a shop, but I can help you clean up." ”

What I mean by this is to go over and check on him regularly, and even if he doesn't recruit thieves, don't let rats, insects and ants destroy his belongings.

Unexpectedly, Lao He said: "You have to help with this favor, and only you can help me." ”

Without waiting for me to speak, he hurriedly said: "You don't need to open the shop every day, you just need to open the door on the fifteenth day of the first day of every month, at night, and close the door on the fifth day of the rooster." ”

I was stunned again, looked at him suspiciously, and asked, "What the hell are you doing?" ”

Lao He habitually rubbed his hands, glanced at Da He again, and said three words in a low voice: "Ghost crosser." ”

After speaking, he patted his thigh aggrievedly, "It is said that I am doing good deeds and accumulating virtues in this business, why did I fly into trouble and suffer a lawsuit?" ”

It's not because of greed for money!

I muttered to myself.

The ghost crosser is a special kind of yin and yang industry, and legend has it that this kind of person has an official position in the underworld.

Some people can't go to reincarnation because they die alongside, so they have to try to find a ghost crosser to help them go over, so that they can go down to the underworld.

But I'm curious, it is said that the transcendent soul is indeed doing good, why did Lao He commit five evils and three shortcomings, and even get into a lawsuit?

"Xiao Xu, in fact, the first day you came to me to rent a room, I saw that you were not an ordinary person, what are you doing, I don't need to say. This is a matter of asking you to help, or else...... Otherwise, those dead souls will accumulate more and more, and the whole street will be disturbed. Lao He begged.

I frowned and said, "Old man, it's not that I don't want to help you, the key is that we are not in the same business, and I can't do your job." ”

Lao He waved his hand:

"What's the hell I can't do, those triangles in my counter drawer are all afterlife charms that I drew beforehand. Your yin qi itself is heavy, and when the time comes, as long as you light the rhino incense, there will be business coming to your door. When the time comes, you write the customer's name on the rune paper and send them away. ”

"It's as simple as that?" I looked at him suspiciously, and I always felt that what the old man said was a little untrue.

Lao He's eyes flickered, and he smiled and said:

"Sometimes there are some customers who are a little more troublesome, but with your skills, it will definitely be easy to deal with. In the final analysis, the ghosts who can come to us just want to be reincarnated, and they won't find the ones that are unhappy themselves. In this way, you help me this time, I will give you a year of rent exemption, how about it? ”

I was not moved by his last sentence, but thought about it seriously, nodded and said, "The rent is not exempt, it should be for the peace of those neighborhoods in the back streets." I promise you to take care of the shop before you come out. ”

I said this from the bottom of my heart, and I took the initiative to find the ghost crosser, who must have died and wanted to be reincarnated.

If you don't achieve your goal, you are likely to have resentment and harm innocent people.

If that is the case, not only will the people in the backstreets suffer, but the ghosts who have died will also be so sinful that it will be difficult to reincarnate, which is indeed a very sinful thing.

Lao He explained some related matters to me.

Before going out, he reminded me not to forget to hand over the big tent for him, because the food in it was really not oily.

He paid the old man a large account of two thousand yuan, and took the key to the shop from the storage place.

When I got out of the detention center, Da He asked me curiously, what did the ghost crosser do.

I explained to him that the little ghost who was on him last time was killed by gas after being fed sleeping pills, which belonged to horizontal death. If no one overtakes him, he will always be a lonely ghost in the sun. The ghost crossers are dedicated to surpassing these lonely ghosts.

Da He nodded, saying that it was indeed a profession of doing good deeds and accumulating virtue, and reminded me that today is the fifteenth, and don't forget to go to the back street to open a shop at night.

Then he asked me the question that was too hard to answer and too lazy to answer:

You are a yin and a forensic doctor, aren't you afraid that the ghost will watch from the side when the corpse is dissected?

……

After getting off work in the evening, I went to eat a fast food first, bought some instant noodles and ham sausages, and went straight to the back street.

The back street is in a corner of the old city, and the people who live here are some old men and old women, except for a small noodle restaurant and a small smoke restaurant on the street, only Lao He's funeral shop is a shop, which is relatively deserted.

Having said that, in the middle of such a small street, only funeral shops can be opened.

I didn't plan to open for business, so I only removed one door panel.

Walking in, I looked at the paper people and paper horses on the wall in the dark, and suddenly felt a little gloomy.

When I turned on the light, I found that the shop was still using an old-fashioned incandescent light bulb.

Looking at everything in the shop through the dim light, I inadvertently looked up and saw a gossip mirror nailed above the wall facing the door.

Different from the ordinary gossip mirror, this gossip mirror is really made of copper, it looks very old, there is no symbol on the mirror, but there is a red dot in the mirror.

I didn't notice such a gossip mirror the first two times, but now that I look at it, I can't help but be a little surprised.

This red dot is not blind, I once heard Liu Blind say that some Taoist masters would pierce their hearts with wooden swords when they learned that they were dying, and drip their blood on the gossip mirror.

The higher the Taoist priest's Taoism, the stronger the mana of the Bagua Mirror that has been dripping with painstaking efforts.

If the dots on this gossip mirror are really the hard work of the Daomen, then Lao He is really a master with a heritage.

I checked the front room and backyard, and when I saw that it was still early, I sat in the wicker chair behind the counter and played with my phone.

The guy named Xiaoyu actually sent me WeChat again, asking where I am now.

I don't have much ill feeling for this hand-reaching family who doesn't even bother to cheat, but I still prank and say that I run a funeral shop, and the address is at No. 31 Backstreet. If you are lonely and cold, you can come to the shop to find me at 11 o'clock on the evening of the 15th day of the first month of every month.

Her reaction was flat, just an 'oh'.

The two chatted with each other, and time passed quickly.

Seeing that it was almost eleven o'clock, I turned on the voice and deliberately suppressed my voice and said:

"I'm sorry, it's time, the ghost door is closed, and I'm going to do business."

"Oh."

It's really boring, if you don't give money, you don't have passion!

I muttered depressedly, took out a thin incense stick from a drawer, lit it and inserted it into the incense burner, and suddenly a strange fragrance wafted in the shop.

"The rhino does not dare to burn, it burns with a strange fragrance, stains the clothes and belts, and people can communicate with ghosts. A furnace is lit, and dry bones give birth to mandalas. ”

I muttered, slightly distracted.

Xu Qiu, are you really inseparable from this business......

Suddenly, a woman's gentle voice came from outside the door:

"The people's daughter Di Jinlian came to visit He Jushi, and asked the layman to allow me to go in for a while."
