A big red coffin was quietly parked at the entrance of the mountain temple, and it looked charming in the darkness.

Leizi and I stared at the coffin in a daze, and didn't say anything for a long time.

A chill broke out in my heart, and the feeling of worry came like a tide.

Why is it a big red coffin?

How could it be a big red coffin?

Among coffins, red coffins are the most evil ones, and for coffin holders, it is even more of a taboo.

Among the customs of funerals, red coffins are a taboo. Why?

In funerals, there should not be too bright colors, so anything about funerals, including clothing, is mainly black and white. Too festive colors do not match the funeral and are prone to evil. This has been mentioned before. The same is true for coffins, so the coffins we see in daily life are black and there are no colorful coffins. In fact, this is the case. The coffins are also an important part of funerals, and there should not be bright coffins.

In other words, once you encounter a big red coffin, the big red coffin may contain evil things, which is what we call evil things.

To put it bluntly, this big red coffin is very dangerous, like a time bomb. Maybe it will "explode" when it is carried on the road, and no one can tell what is inside the coffin clearly.

The cold wind was like an invisible whip, whipping on Leizi and me one after another.

I patted my cheeks that were a little stiff: "Leizi, big red coffin!"

Lei Zi nodded, his face became ugly. As a coffin holder, he knew better than me what a big red coffin meant.

Leizi walked to the front of the coffin and saw a stone pressing on the lid of the coffin, and a cowhide envelope under the stone.

Leizi picked up the cowhide envelope, and the envelope was bulging. When he opened it, he saw a stack of thick hundred-dollar bills inside. Leizi counted and found that there were eighty-eight pieces in total, which was exactly eighty-eight hundred yuan. Unexpectedly, the other party paid us all the money. This was quite generous.

Generally speaking, if we are invited to show up, we will pay a part of the deposit in advance, and then settle the final payment after the matter is done. However, those two strange guys actually paid us the full amount before we set off. To put it nicely, they are generous and trust us, and to put it badly, it feels a bit like rushing to put it on the shelves. Anyway, if we give us the money, we have to accept this business if we don’t accept it.

Lei Zi held the envelope tightly and said nothing. I knew he was having a fierce struggle in his heart.

I walked around the coffin. In the dark night, the big red coffin exuded a strong and weird feeling.

The big red coffin itself is solid wood, with dazzling red paint on the surface, and some gold wires are hooked on the red paint, highlighting the noble identity of the coffin owner. However, this coffin looks old, and some red paint on the surface has fallen off, revealing the coffin inside, which looks like a scalp of a scalypse. However, overall, it is well preserved, and some yellow mud is still stuck to the bottom edge of the coffin.

I squatted down and reached out to touch the yellow mud at the bottom. The boss smelled like a fishy smell and was a little wet. According to my speculation, the coffin might have just been unearthed.

"This coffin is very likely just unearthed!" I said to Leizi.

Lei Zi held the coffin with his left hand and the cowhide envelope with his right hand, and the expression on his face was flickering.

I looked at the big red coffin in front of me, and the scenes of the tall and short fat man were repeatedly played in my mind. Thinking about the feeling of shaking hands with the short fat man, I blurted out three words: "Master!"

"Tu Master?!" Lei Zi turned his head and looked at me.

I nodded and stood up: "I know what those two people are. If nothing unexpected happens, they are nineteen. Ninety-one of them are Tushizi, and they are veterans in this industry. It will take a day or two to do this digging of soil!"

"How do you know?" Lei Zi asked in surprise.

I gestured and said, "There are two points. One is this coffin. The yellow mud at the bottom of the coffin is still wet. It is obvious that it has just been dug out from the ground. What does this mean? It means that the coffin was buried in the soil before and was dug out later. Think about it, if it was your own coffin, would it be buried underground and then dug out?

The second and most important point, I don’t know if you feel it just now. Anyway, when I shook hands with the short fat man, I felt that his palm was particularly cold. It was not the feeling of being frozen in winter, but the kind of coldness that was soaked in the bones. This kind of coldness is only the people who deal with dead bodies all year round. At that time, I was a little doubted about their identity. Now I am almost certain that they are Tushizi!"

Leizi said: "If they are really native men and do shameful things, why don't they transport the coffin secretly and come to us to transport the coffin?"

"You are stupid!" I reached out and poked Lei Zi's head: "Do you think Tushizi is a fool? Those two bastards are very cunning. Maybe they didn't know in advance that they were a big red coffin, but after going down, they couldn't be empty-handed! Of course, maybe this coffin was originally their target?

Anyway, no matter what the situation is, they all know that the big red coffin is an evil thing and cannot be touched! Therefore, for the sake of their own safety, they would rather spend a big price to let us transport the coffin than to go by themselves!

On the other hand, they must have known that the coffin was in danger, so they threw the danger to us. I had doubts before, why did they offer such a high price? This was a fucking bomb to us!

Lei Zi, this business cannot be accepted. This is a big red coffin. I am afraid that I will make a life and spend it without a life!"

Leizi looked at me, then looked at the big red coffin in front of him.

After a while, Lei Zi slowly said to me: "Jiu Lizi, your worries are correct. I also know that you are doing it for my own good, but... I have decided to take this business!"

"Leizi!" I was a little anxious and held his arm and said, "You know that there may be problems with this coffin, but you still have to take on this business. Aren't you stupid? If something happens, how can you explain to your brothers? Although we don't have much money now, we have tens of thousands of dollars in total. We don't lack these 8,000! For safety reasons, I firmly disagree!"

Lei Zi gently moved my hand away: "Jiu Jizi, it's not that I'm greedy for money. If it's for me, it might be nothing if I don't take on this business, but... But there are a large group of brothers carrying coffins behind me. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. I understand their feelings very well, and I also know their situation very well. Those who come to work as coffin carryrs all have financial difficulties at home. In the past month, Lao Huang has looked for me more than once and asked me if I have any work to do. I can't bear to face their disappointed eyes again.

I have calculated that if we take on this business, five coffin holders will pay 600 yuan each. These 600 yuan is enough to make them have a safe New Year. To put it bluntly, they can eat meat during the New Year! I don’t think about myself, but I have to think about my brothers!

Besides, when we open the door to do business, how can we not accept business? If we refuse the first business, and if this matter is spread, who will come to us in the future? Are you still hoping to make this business bigger and stronger? The reputation we have accumulated before will be smashed. Have you ever thought about it?"

Lei Zi said everything, but I couldn't feel at ease with such a big red coffin.

I sighed: "Leizi, I understand everything you said, but..."

Lei Zi raised his palm: "Nine Li Zi, needless to say, I have decided! There are risks in our business. Those who come out to drive corpses and carry coffins rely on their lives. If we are afraid of our hands, we can't take any work. Why do we have to come out to make money? It's better to go home to farm?

As the saying goes, high risk and high reward will also be accompanied by high risk. This is complementary. If you want to make a lot of money, you have to risk your life. This is inevitable, right?

Think about Brother Wei, why do they earn so much money? Why do they have such high appearance fees? Think about it carefully, which Brother Wei is not a big business? Which thing is not a risk of his life? It can be said that every job he takes is ten times more dangerous than ours!"

Speaking of this, Lei Zi gently tapped the big red coffin in front of him: "Actually, we don't have to be so pessimistic. Everything should be thought about the better. Didn't you say just now that danger may occur. Before the danger occurs, there are only possibilities, and then there may not be danger, right?"

I sighed quietly: "That's right, but once danger occurs, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"What are you afraid of? Can a monster crawl out of the coffin? Even if a zombie crawl out, I believe you, Master Xiao, can still deal with it! With you personally pressing the formation, I have nothing to worry about! Master Jiu, I'll be optimistic about you!" Lei Zi patted my shoulder and a smile appeared on his face.

I touched the corner of my mouth awkwardly, but I couldn't laugh out loud.

Lei Zi restrained his smile and said seriously: "Master Jiu, this trip is just to help my brothers!"

Lei Zi has already said this, what else can I say? I had to nodded: "I'm so serious. We are brothers. Your business is mine. Don't worry, I will definitely do my best!"
