I was forced to cultivate immortality when I just wanted to lie down

Chapter 18: Lip Guns Can Kill

Looking at the people who came to pay their respects, Xu Qing felt an inexplicable strange feeling in his heart.

It was like when listening to a story, the characters in the story who had nothing to do with him suddenly appeared in reality, stood in front of him and talked to him.

Xu Qing knew that the other party had ulterior motives, but he pretended to be ignorant and lit a stick of incense, wanting to see what the other party was up to.

"Brother Li! My brother Li!
Why did you leave without saying a word?"

A loud roar suddenly came out of nowhere, shaking Xu Qing's eardrums so much that they jumped.

No, you are crying for your own father here!
"Brother Li, you and I are brothers. I really don't want you to leave. If I had known this would happen, I would have died to avoid the heartache and pain I am experiencing now!"

While people were mourning over there, more than a dozen people came to the shop door to pay their respects.

The leading man quickly helped Liao An up and sighed, "Brother Liao, don't be too sad. If Brother Li were alive, he would not want to see Brother Liao like this."

At this time, other people also came forward to persuade and express condolences.

Xu Qing was puzzled when he saw this scene. He grabbed a person who had just finished burning incense and asked, "It's not even time to pay respects yet, and you don't know the proper way to do it. I've only just finished dressing you up, and I haven't even put on my clothes yet."

The young man in a padded jacket and a felt hat had red eyes. Even though Xu Qing was holding his arm, he wasn't angry. He just tilted his head to look at the beams, trying hard to prevent the little pearl from falling out. He said, "Don't blame us. It's because Third Brother Liao missed Big Brother Li so much that he left without even having lunch, saying he wanted to come and see Big Brother Li so that he wouldn't be alone without anyone he knew."

"Once we had a plan, we followed along."

Xu Qing understood instantly. He thought that this Liao wanted to act like a brotherly love to reduce his own suspicion.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask, "If you're afraid of being alone, why don't you have your family members come over?"

The young man sniffed his nose and couldn't hold it back for a long time, and the little pearls fell down. Xu Qing knew at a glance that he was sad from the bottom of his heart, which was much better than Liao An who could only cry at the top of his lungs!

"My sister-in-law wanted to come along, and Third Brother Liao agreed, but I persuaded her to go back." The young man sighed, as if a lump of alum had been stuck in his throat. He spoke bitterly, "I saw the injuries on Big Brother Li's body clearly this morning. If my sister-in-law had seen them, she would have been heartbroken. And what about my little nephews and nieces? They lost their father at such a young age."

Xu Qing didn't know what to say, so he just patted his shoulder and said, "The man has passed away, and the living mourn. If your elder brother Li were still alive, he would not want to see you sad for him."

This sounds familiar, but it is also a panacea.

Hearing this, the young man lifted his sleeves and wiped his tears with lightning speed. He pretended to be calm, raised his head and said, "You're right. Brother Li taught me before that a real man can't be like a wimp and cry every day!"

"."

When he said this, Liao An, who was crying bitterly, had just reached his climax. His heart-wrenching cry was so loud that it almost made the sky collapse!

After the crowd left, the coroner's shop became quiet again. Xu Qing came to the next door and said that he had received a large order. There were seven or eight dead people waiting to be buried, and they needed to supply them with funeral clothes, coffins, incense and candles.

When Wu Yaoxing heard this, he was so happy!
He called the neighbors over and asked them to report one by one. He asked how many bundles of incense were needed here and how many coffins were needed there. In less than an incense stick's time, all the work was arranged!

The next day, Li Fan's parents, wife and children came to the coroner's shop under the leadership of Liao An.

The old man couldn't bear to see the elderly send off the young, so he just stood at the door and refused to go in no matter what.

He trembled as he spoke, "You are mistaken, you must be mistaken. That is not my son. My son is very skilled in martial arts. How could he be in trouble?"

As he spoke, the old man reached out and took Xu Qing's arm, as if to confirm the answer in his heart, and asked him: "Young sir, that man is not my son, am I right?"

Xu Qing was about to reply when he vaguely heard these words coming from the shop:

"Don't be too sad, sister-in-law. Today, in front of Brother Li's spirit, I, Liao An, will make this statement. I will definitely find a good family for you in the future and won't let you, an orphan and a widow, be bullied."

Xu Qing frowned. Is this even human language?
You have to know that there are many people who eat people and destroy their entire families these days. Not to mention the distant cases, if the other party really sells Li's wife and children to somewhere else, and then uses the name of "for her own good", what will the old man and old lady of the Li family do in the future?
What will be the fate of the two children of the Li family in the future?
You should know that before Li Fan got into trouble, he received 200 taels of resettlement money. With this money, even if Li's wife didn't remarry, she could live a good life in the second half of her life.

It's no wonder Xu Qing was overthinking this; it was simply the way the world was. Liao An's betrayal of his brothers revealed his character, and perhaps he was already eyeing the Li family's fortune! After sending the Li family away, Xu Qing took up his special skills as a corpse driver at night.

In front of him, there were clerks from the pawnshop who were responsible for leading the way, and he had to carry all the corpses to the mourning halls of various families and place them properly before dawn.

With outsiders present, it was inconvenient for him to use the corpse-driving method, so he could only use the simplest and most crude method of carrying the corpse.

On the fifth day, after each family had kept vigil for three days, Xu Qing put on the robes for presiding over funerals and led a group of professional neighbors to start the funeral procession and burial of Li Fan and his group one by one.

After finishing the rituals during the day, Xu Qingku sat under the pomegranate tree in the backyard at night, but the scene of the Li family being wiped out by Liao An kept appearing in his mind.

"It's easier to save a beast than a human being. Li Fan, Li Fan, you made your family worry when you were alive, and now you can't let anyone rest in peace after you die."

Sighing, Xu Qing stopped swallowing the moonlight and instead took his brass knuckles and corpse-driving implements and came to the Li family compound in the dark.

He had been here once during the funeral procession during the day, so he was quite familiar with the place by now.

Arriving at the wing room where Li's wife and children were, Xu Qing saw through the crack in the door that Li was sitting in front of the bed, lost in thought.

Mrs. Li had just finished crying during the day and had just put her two children to sleep.

It was late at night and everyone was asleep. She sighed softly and walked to the window.

At this time, there was a slanting moon and a few stars outside the window. Li's nose suddenly felt sore for no reason, and all the emotions that could not be expressed in front of her parents-in-law and children flooded into her heart.

Her husband died under unclear circumstances.

Her children lost their father at a very young age.

As a woman, she lost her husband mid-life, and who knows when the neighbors will start spreading rumors about her.

Saying that she is a jinx to men is an understatement!
When she recalled Liao An's disgusting words during the day, saying that he would make the decision for Li Fan and help him find a new family, she realized that this was what it felt like the sky was falling.

Mrs. Li was sitting on the windowsill feeling sad, when suddenly a hoarse and rough male voice came from outside the window, in front of the wall!
Li was shocked, thinking that some ruffian had heard that her husband had just died and was coming to bully her, an orphan and a widow.

She quickly grabbed the scissors from the sewing basket and was about to call her parents-in-law and neighbors when she heard the man hiss:
"Madam, please don't make it public. I'm here to tell you the real cause of Li Fan's death, so that you can understand who is hiding the traitor!"

Li swallowed the words back when they came to her lips. When she heard the real cause of her husband's death, her eyes widened and her whole body trembled.

Liao An, the person who often took her husband to drink and play together, and even bought candy man toys for their two children, turned out to be the real murderer who killed her husband!
"Madam, go to the pawnshop to find Master Chang Wu tomorrow. Remember not to reveal your true identity. When you see Master Chang Wu, tell him everything about this matter. Master Wu will make the decision for you."

After that, it became completely quiet outside.

Li quickly opened the door and looked around, only to find the yard empty and silent. There was no one there to confide in her!

The next morning, Xu Qing chatted with Wu Yaoxing and Old Man Hu from the coffin shop for a while.

At noon, when the Yang energy was at its peak, he returned to the coroner's shop, found a cool place, and lay down comfortably for a nap.

In the evening, when the Yang energy receded, Xu Qing closed the shop door and was about to go to the backyard to practice a set of Tiger Seal Dragon Elephant Fist to stretch his muscles, but someone got there first and shouted to open the shop door.

It was still the same broker, and still the same cart carrying the corpse.

The clerk said with a tone of hatred, "Shopkeeper Xu, our Fifth Master said that this body will be handed over to you for disposal free of charge. But there is one thing: whether it's sent to the mines or somewhere else, he must not have an easy life! He must be forced to work like a slave in his next life, and never be reborn as a human again!"

Xu Qing wondered who was so unlucky to offend Master Chang Wu?

Thinking in his mind, he lifted the shroud, and when he saw the corpse that looked like no human, Xu Qing laughed!
Isn’t this Liao An who wants to eat everyone and wipe out the whole family?

How come he became so lax after just one day of not seeing him?
