Chapter 180: Going Away
I closed the store door, and Mr. Qin waved to let Jiang Chao sit opposite him.
After we sat down, Mr. Qin spoke to us:
"Chunjiu, Jiang Chao, I have to go out for a long trip, so I will leave this Qinji Coffin Shop to you two for me for the time being."
I asked after hearing this:
"Old Qin, where are you going?"
Mr. Qin looked at me and shook his head, feeling a little weak when he spoke:
"It's not convenient for me to tell you now. In short, after I leave Gugu County, you two must support each other. Don't show off when encountering any dangers and difficulties. Go to your master Liu Wendao as soon as possible."
At this time, Jiang Chao asked:
"Old Qin, don't worry, I will definitely help you with Chujiu to look at the store."
After hearing this, Mr. Qin waved his hand:
"Whether you look at the shop is secondly. The key is that you two need to take good care of yourself and put personal safety first. I hope you will be safe when I come back. There is also the ninth day of the lunar month. If your master has contacted the expedition team to go to Jiuling slope of Lushan, you can go first. Don't wait for me to come back, I have to leave for a while."
When I heard Mr. Qin say this, I couldn't help but feel worried:
"Old Qin, where are you going? There will be no danger, right?"
Old Qin shook his head and said:
"The road is a bit far, but there is no danger. I, the old man, know everything, so you don't have to worry."
After Mr. Qin finished speaking, he thought of something and then said to me:
"By the way, the ninth day of the lunar month, and the dream you had last night. You will sprinkle incense ash on the door and window ridges tonight before going to bed. If you dream of your wife Yue Cailing giving you a dream, the gray incense ash that wakes up in the morning will definitely turn black."
After hearing Mr. Qin's words, I nodded and said:
"I remember, Mr. Qin, you must pay attention to safety when you go out for a long trip. Come back early, Jiang Chao and I are waiting for you."
Old Qin smiled and reached out his hand to pat Jiang Chao and me on the shoulders:
"Don't worry, I'm sure I won't have anything to do. By the way, there's something I want to tell you."
"What's the matter?" I asked.
Mr. Qin subconsciously looked out the door:
"Today is the fifteenth day. While it is not dark yet, you go to the back mountain to cut some peach blossom branches and hang them outside the store. If someone comes to knock on the door tonight, remember to knock four times in a row and don't open it!"
After Mr. Qin said this, Jiang Chao immediately became nervous:
"Old Qin, are you going to come to the store tonight with something unclean?"
Mr. Qin said to Jiang Chao:
"I just remind you in advance. Today is the fifteenth day, so you are a little prepared. As long as you don't go to open the door, it's okay. Okay, you can go to the mountain quickly, I'll clean up and leave."
After Mr. Qin finished speaking, he handed me the key to the store gate.
Jiang Chao and I each brought a hatchet from the store and walked towards the back mountain in the town.
The back mountain in Gugu County is not big, and there is a large circle of graves in front of the back. Jiang Chao and I took a small path and bypassed the circle of graves. We finally found a wild peach tree on the back mountain.
When Jiang Chao and I returned to the coffin shop with Peach Tree Branch, I found that the door of the coffin shop had been locked and Mr. Qin should have left.
"Why is Mr. Qin so anxious?" Jiang Chao asked.
I nodded:
"Maybe I've encountered something more important. Let's go in first."
I said as I took out the key and opened the door of the coffin shop.
At this time, the sky was getting darker, and Jiang Chao and I placed the peach branches cut down from the back mountain in front of the coffin shop.
Back in the coffin, Jiang Chao looked at the dark sky and said:
"Qinjiu, what will we eat tonight?"
I didn't feel hungry at first, but after Jiang Chao said this, my stomach started to roar.
"How about I go to the street to pack a spicy fried chicken? Let's drink a little too." Jiang Chao said, getting up.
"Big plate chicken is OK, just drink it." I said.
Jiang Chao turned around and looked at me and said:
"Just drink a little, we won't drink too much, just drink two bottles per person, so it won't be delayed. Chujiu, you are watching in the store. I'll go out to buy it. Do you want to eat?"
"Bring me another duck neck," I said.
"Okay, no problem." Jiang Chao said and left in a hurry.
Not long after Jiang Chao left, a knock on the door suddenly sounded outside the store.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!" It was exactly four sounds, no matter how many!
It was already dark now, and such a strange knock on the door suddenly sounded outside, which really scared me!
I quickly pinched out the evil-repelling seal with my left hand and made preparations in advance.
At this time, the shop door creaked and was pushed open from outside.
Traffic policeman Qin Yu walked in from outside. When she walked into the store, she was stunned when she saw me standing opposite me. Then she asked:
"I said Chujiu, didn't you hear me knocking on the door just now? Why didn't you even agree?"
I looked at Qin Yu in front of me and began to doubt her identity:
"Officer Qin, what is the license plate number of your motorcycle?"
I have been riding Qin Yu's motorcycle many times, and I naturally remember her license plate number clearly.
Qin Yu looked at me with confusion on his face. After hesitating for a while, he finally spoke:
"An a987rh, what's wrong?"
Hearing this, my heart was instantly relieved, and the license plate number was correct!
"No... nothing is wrong. By the way, Officer Qin, are you okay when you come to the store?" I asked.
Qin Yu put the helmet in his hand on the table and looked at me and said:
"Can't I come to play with you if I'm fine?"
"Yes, you sit down first, I'll pour you a cup of hot water." I said and turned around to pour water.
Qin Yu looked at the coffin shop and asked me:
"Chu Jiu, is Mr. Qin not here?"
"Well, Mr. Qin has something to do recently, so he went out to the far door." I said.
"Where did you go?" Qin Yu asked.
"I don't know either. By the way, Officer Qin, have you eaten? If you don't have a meal, just eat with us." I said and handed her the hot water in my hand.
"Thank you." Qin Yu took the hot water and continued:
"I really haven't eaten yet. Actually, I'm here to find you today. "
"What's the matter?" I asked.
Qin Yu pursed his lips, looked at me and hesitated for a while and said:
"Let's have some drinks tonight, and I'll talk to you slowly when I'm having a meal later."
I nodded after hearing this:
"Sure, no problem. I'll call Jiang Chao now and ask him to buy two more bottles of beer, and we'll accompany you to drink it slowly."
At this time, I realized that Qin Yu might have encountered something that made her feel distressed.
After hearing this, Qin Yu laughed:
Chapter completed!
