Jiang Chao was so scared that his face turned pale:

"Old Qin, I don't know, nor do I understand this, then... what should I do now?"

I asked aside:

"Old Qin, what does it mean to buy money for life?"

Old Qin sighed:

"In the hospital, some relatives who are seriously ill or have a great trouble will find someone to buy their lives with money, then wrap them with their wallets and throw them on the ground, and wait for the next unlucky guy to pick them up. Once the person uses the money he has found, it proves that he agrees to sell his life to the other party!"

Jiang Chao felt even more scared when he heard this:

"Old Qin, please save me. I really don't know that there are such rules."

Mr. Qin asked:

"Jiang Chao, have you spent all these 300 meals? If you don't spend all the money, put the remaining money into the merit box of the temple, let the Buddha and that thing fight!"

Jiang Chao shook his head:

"It's all spent, and I'll charge Chujiu for the phone bill."

When I heard this, I almost didn't go over and kick Jiang Chao. This was just a killing me!

Old Qin looked helpless:

"I'll call your master later. Don't go back tonight. Stay with Chujiu here. Remember in the future. You must not pick up money from the hospital, crematorium, riverside, and intersection!"

Jiang Chao nodded repeatedly.

After saying that, Mr. Qin quickly asked Jiang Chao and I to close the store first, and then he quickly went to the house.

"Jiang Chao, what do you think? If you don't charge yourself for phone bills for the remaining 100 yuan, you just rushed for me. Did you do it on purpose?" I became more and more angry as I thought about it.

"The ninth day of the lunar month, it's not what you think. I originally wanted to rush for myself, but the mobile business hall was closed. I couldn't take back the remaining 100 yuan, so I went to China Unicom to rush for you. Who knows..."

"Forget it, let's see what Mr. Qin said later." I walked out of the store and prepared to move the wreath outside in.

As soon as I went out, I was stunned, with two hundred dollars on the ground!

The 200 yuan is not folded in half, but there is still a red line tied on it, as if it was deliberately placed here.

It seems that the other party already knew that we had picked up the money we worked hard, and this was coming to us.

I was about to go back to the house and call Mr. Qin out and let him see how the two hundred dollars were dealt with, but suddenly a beggar rushed out of the roadside. The beggar rushed over and picked up the two hundred dollars on the ground.

"Oh, I can't take this money!" I shouted anxiously.

The beggar turned around and glared at me, and said viciously:

"This is the money I picked up on the ground, why can't I get it?"

"This is life-long money. If you take this money, something will happen." I kindly advised.

Unexpectedly, the beggar didn't believe what I said at all. He grinned at me, showed his black teeth, and turned around and ran away.

This is Jiang Chao who walked out of the store:

"Chujiu, who were you talking to just now?"

"I just got two hundred yuan in this place, and there were red threads tied. I was about to go back and call Mr. Qin to come and see him, but was picked up by a passing beggar and took him away."

As I was talking, Mr. Qin's voice suddenly came out of the store:

"Oh, all of this is fate. Chujiu, Jiang Chao, come back quickly!"

That night, Mr. Qin put two paper-made people on the bed in my room, and wrote the birth dates and horoscopes of Jiang Chao and I on a piece of red paper with a brush, and stuffed them into the belly of the paper-made people.

After doing all this, Mr. Qin brought another pair of scissors, cut a small strand of hair on each of Jiang Chao's heads, tied it with red thread and put it into the belly of the paper-tied man.

"Master, are these two paper men?" I asked in confusion.

"Don't ask more. You two can't go anywhere tonight. Just sleep in the coffin of the two in the store. Go now." Old Qin looked at us and said seriously.

Seeing Mr. Qin’s appearance, Jiang Chao and I realized that this incident was far more serious than we thought, so we stopped asking more questions and crawled into the coffin in the store as Mr. Qin said.

As soon as I entered the coffin, I realized that the careful Mr. Qin had spread it underneath with a quilt.

As soon as we were about to lie flat in the coffin, Mr. Qin brought a box of incense ash and asked Jiang Chao and I to apply incense ash on our foreheads and shoulders on both sides.

"Tonight you two will sleep in the coffin. No matter what sound you hear outside, you must not speak, let alone come out. Do you remember?"

Jiang Chao asked:

"What if I want to pee in the middle of the night?"

Old Qin glared at Jiang Chao and said:

"Can you drown yourself if you pee in the coffin??"

Mr. Qin said, and glanced at the time:

"Okay, you guys lie down quickly!"

Jiang Chao and I were lying flat in the coffin. Veteran Qin pushed up the coffin lid, leaving only a gap for the air to circulate.

"Chunjiu, Jiang Chao, remember what I said, otherwise you won't live tonight!" Mr. Qin finally gave a message, walked out of the store quickly and locked the store door.

The whole store suddenly became silent, and I could only hear my breathing and heartbeat.

Jiang Chao and I have never dared to speak, and I don’t know how long it took for me to lie in the coffin. My nervousness gradually eased. Just when I was about to fall asleep, I suddenly heard someone knocking outside:

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The sound is not loud, but it is heard sincerely.

I was sleepy when I heard the knock on the door. I was an apprentice in the coffin shop for so long, and no one ever knocked on the coffin shop door in the middle of the night. Could it be...

At this moment, the knock on the door came to an abrupt end, and then a "click!" sound was heard, like a lock-opening sound.

"Cruff~!" With a sound of "Squeak~!", two shop doors were opened, and with a dull footsteps, someone walked in from outside.

The man sang as he walked:

"I picked up money on the side of the road; I picked up money and spent it all, and I took my life with it; if I brought my life, I didn't want to run away..." It was an old lady's voice, cold and harsh, making people shudder after hearing it!

It's indeed here!

When the old lady walked to the coffin where I was hiding, she also held the lid of the coffin with her hand. I lay in the coffin, my eyes closed, and the strong sense of fear made me furrow all over my body and my heart almost jumped to my throat.

Inadvertently, through the gap in the coffin, I smelled a pungent smell of carrion.

The old lady walked over and continued to walk towards the room inside while singing.

The singing became farther and farther, until it suddenly stopped, the coffin shop returned to calm again. I lay in the coffin and didn't dare to let out, and I was scared and sweated all over.

This calm did not last long, and I heard the sound of biting in the room inside, which was like some kind of animal tearing the two paper people on the bed.

This terrifying tearing sound lasted for about a minute or two before it came to an abrupt end. As I judged from the sound of my footsteps, the old lady walked out of the room inside.

"Bit, buzz, buzz..."

When footsteps passed by the two coffins where Jiang Chao and I were hiding, I didn't even dare to breathe.
