Chapter 26: Getting to the door

Today is the fourth day of coming to Yueyang.

Early in the morning, I yawned out of a side room in the backyard, then walked into the kitchen, boiled a pot of hot water, then went out from the back door of the yard, went to a street stall to buy a fried dough stick and a pancake, made another cup of soy milk, and took the bag and went back to the yard.

There was a stone table in the yard and a few stone benches next to it. I put the breakfast on the table and sat there while eating, while recalling what happened these days.

Two days ago, Diao Laojin and I came to this Dongting Xiang coffin shop, and Diao Laojin said he wanted me to work here after a disagreement.

I was stunned at the time: "What? What does it mean?"

"It's not interesting. Just letting you do things here. This opportunity is rare. Does the boss agree? It's up to your grandfather to see?" Diao Laojin said with a smile.

"What are you doing? When did I say I'm coming to work? This is a coffin shop." I quickly protested, but when I heard the second half of the sentence, I was stunned: "What? Do you know my grandfather?"

I asked the middle-aged boss this sentence, but the boss nodded expressionlessly: "I was advised by your grandfather when I was young."

Has my grandfather been advised by me? What kind of advice is that my grandfather is just an old eight immortal in a mountain village? I couldn't react for a moment.

Before I could sort out my thoughts, Diao Laojin took another sip of tea, put down the tea cup and stood up: "Okay, since I have sent you here, there will be nothing for me. You are here to follow the boss and study hard, which will be of great benefit to you."

As he said that, he turned around and said to the boss, "Okay, I won't stay much anymore. I'll ask you for help. I'll see him again in a while."

The boss nodded again, didn't say anything, but just got up and pulled the door open. Diao Laojin walked out with his hands behind his back: "Yiming, I'll leave."

I hurriedly chased after me: "Hey! Grandpa Diao, don't leave. You took me all the way here to get me to work here? Oh, wait!"

As soon as Diao Laojin went out, he turned to the side and disappeared from my sight. I chased to the door and saw him disappearing from the entrance of the alley with his hands behind his back. I chased him again. When I arrived at the entrance of the alley, I could no longer find him.

I was so angry that I stomped my feet: "What's wrong with this old man? I for no reason and I ran away."

This place is very remote and the roads are chaotic. I had already learned about it when I came here, and I didn't dare to run around. I was afraid of getting lost, so I had to turn around and go back to the coffin shop.

The boss named Xiaofeng was still sitting inside. When he saw me coming in, he looked up at me, but he had no intention of speaking. The two of them stared at each other. After a while, I finally couldn't help but speak: "That..."

I just said two words, and the boss suddenly stood up and scared me.

He glanced at me and turned around: "Come here."

As I said that, I walked inside, and I didn't know what to say, so I had to follow him.

There are two doors in the store, one is the kitchen I just entered, and the other is the door leading to the back, which is a two-open door.

The boss opened the door panel on the left and walked out. I went out and saw that there was a yard behind, which was quite large in size, with two rooms on the side and opposite sides. On the other side, it seemed that there was a street, and the iron door leading out was tightly closed.

There were many things piled up in the yard, which seemed to be a workplace with all kinds of wood and tools. There was a shed near the store. I saw some wreaths and paper people piled up inside.

Thinking of the words I saw on the billboard before, this store seems to have customized shroud services. It seems that this store is not only a coffin shop, but also a general funeral supplies store.

I secretly looked at Boss Feng walking in front of me, and could only see his side face, and his poker face was expressionless and bitter and revengeful.

I remembered that my grandfather seemed to have said before that people who open deceased shops or coffin shops must have a very strong life, otherwise, if they are exposed to these things for dead people all day long, they will definitely have bad luck or even shortage of their lives.

I have never learned faces, and I can't tell whether the boss's attitude is hard or not. However, looking at his cold appearance, it is probably a big disaster.

Boss Feng took me through the yard, and arrived at the door of a room on the side. He reached out and opened it. He turned around and said in a stern tone: "You can live here in the future. But I don't have food here. If you want to eat, go outside by yourself. There are many restaurants across the street. Also, remember to call me a sir,"

As he said that, he handed me a bunch of keys: "This is from the gate, this is from the courtyard, and this is from your room."

I nodded, took the key, and Mr. Feng said again: "There is no business now, you can clean up yourself."

After saying that, he turned around and walked away, entered one of the two rooms opposite, turned around and slammed the door, leaving me alone standing at the door a little messy.

What's going on with this boss? It's too casual.

By the way, he hasn't talked about my salary yet. Could it be that he asked me to work for him for free?

I walked into the room with a deep heart. The room was not small, and it was not as dilapidated as I thought. It looked like a normal bedroom, with all kinds of furniture, a bathroom, and even an air conditioner. This made me overjoyed.

But it seems that no one has lived there for a long time. Although there are bedding and other things inside, they are all covered in dust.

I exhaled, rolled up my sleeves, went to the kitchen to find a basin, rag, etc., and cleaned the room well.

When I finish cleaning, it's almost noon.

During this period, Mr. Feng seemed to have been staying in the room, and didn't know what he was doing, and there was no movement in the room.

I was also a little surprised. Doesn’t Mr. Feng do not do business? Even if it is a funeral shop, the coffin shop must be opened. If the door is open all day, there will be a ghost customer.

When I finished cleaning the room and sent the tools back to the kitchen, a knock came from the door.

I was stunned for a moment, thinking that Diao Laojin was back, so I ran over and opened the door panel.

However, it was not Diao Laojin who stood outside, but a strange old man.

The old man looks fifty or sixty years old, and his dress is quite good. His black and white hair is neatly combed, and he looks like he is not an ordinary person at first glance.

When the old man saw me, he first showed a look of surprise, then suddenly realized it and spoke politely: "Little brother, is Boss Feng here?"

When I turned my head, I saw a black Mercedes-Benz parked at the entrance of the alley. Someone was looking at this side. I slapped my brainstorm and realized that it was a guest.

Unexpectedly, this remote and scary coffin shop that was closed all day long had customers coming to the door.

I scratched my head and said, "You wait a moment, I'll call you."

The old man nodded kindly: "Thank you, little brother."

I turned around and went back to the store, ran to the backyard to knock on Mr. Feng's door.

"Mr. Feng! Are you here?"

There was no response inside for a long time. Just when I thought he was not inside, a cold voice came from inside: "What's the matter."

I quickly said, "A guest is here."

Mr. Feng was silent for a while and said, "I understand, you go to the reception first."

I responded, then turned around and walked towards the store. As I walked, I was suddenly stunned.

Mr. Feng's room was in the backyard and the store was in front. Why did Diao Laojin knock on the door and the teacher opened the door? Could it be that he was in the store at that time? There was nothing except those two coffins in the store.

I imagined Mr. Feng standing next to the coffin alone in the dark. I called him a chill, no longer thought about it, entered the store, opened the door and greeted the old man, and then made a cup of tea for him.

"You sit first, the boss will come later."

The old man took the teacup and said politely: "Thank you, little brother, are you a relative of Boss Feng or..."

"I... I am a working person and came just now." I replied.
