Strange talk about the rules: I fast travel with my deskmate

Chapter 107: Exploring the Mansion (4)

Qiu Guixiang walked a few steps and wanted to go back to bring Zuo Le out, but Zuo Zengrui grabbed her by the arm.

"What are you doing? Lele wants to take a nap. If he doesn't take a nap, he will be so sleepy that he won't even eat at night." Qiu Guixiang said.

"Didn't you see that the relationship between the two children has eased a lot? What's wrong with Lele following her sister? You just love to worry about it!" Zuo Zengrui said.

Qiu Guixiang frowned and scolded in a low voice: "You know what! Xiaoying comes back from school at noon every day, and she has to go to the library with her classmates in the afternoon and do her homework. Lele is pulling Lele, how can she do her homework?"

Zuo Zengrui smiled. Although her daughter-in-law has a poisonous mouth, she actually has a knife mouth and a tofu heart.

"Forget it, just for this day, what if you don't go to the library? These two days, I always feel back pain. You should go and deliver meals to the shop assistants."

After Zuo Zengrui finished speaking, he went straight back to the house with his hands behind his back.

Behind him, Qiu Guixiang gave him a blank look, then turned around and went into the kitchen to serve the guys dinner.

Seeing that the original owner's parents had finally left, Xu Lingze heaved a sigh of relief, Xiong Qingqing looked at him and gave him a thumbs up.

"I didn't expect that kindergarten poems could help us get out of our predicament. Sure enough, we can read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles..." Xiong Qingqing sighed.

"Hurry up and find the rules. We only have one day, and we don't even know the target of the mission." Xu Lingze said.

"Yeah." Xiong Qingqing continued to look for the rules, and asked again: "By the way, when you disappeared, the ring on Ergou's hand also disappeared. Did you take the ring away?"

"I'm here."

Because he was afraid of being discovered by Qiu Guixiang, Xu Lingze hid the ring after transmigrating.

He took out the ring from his pocket and put it on. Fortunately, the ring can automatically adjust its size according to the size of the finger, otherwise it would be easy for a kid as big as Lele to wear it and lose it.

"I foolishly searched for Ergou's house twice, but fortunately the ring was not lost." Xiong Qingqing said.

The two searched for a long time, even under the bed, but they still couldn't find the rule.

"Did the proprietress forget to pass on the rules to us?" Xiong Qingqing muttered.

Xu Lingze took a deep breath and asked, "Did you find it on you? Is it in your pocket?"

Xiong Qingqing touched the pocket of his clothes, "It's all turned over, no."

Xu Lingze sat down on the bed and carefully analyzed the current situation.

"The two original owners are both children of the Zuo family. I guess... the person the proprietress wants to investigate should be related to the Zuo family." Xu Lingze analyzed.

"But the four members of the Zuo family are all here, and they all seem to be in good health, and they don't look like they are going to die." Xiong Qingqing said.

"The Zuo family runs a coffin shop. Could this person who is about to die be the one who wants to buy a coffin from the coffin shop?" Xu Lingze made a bold guess.

"Probably."

Xiong Qingqing looked at Xu Lingze, the two of them tacitly left the house one after the other, and happened to meet Qiu Guixiang who was going to deliver food to the shop with a lunch box.

"Auntie, are you going to deliver food to the shop?" Xiong Qingqing asked.

"Well, what's the matter?" Qiu Guixiang had never been angry when talking to Zuo Ying.

"Auntie, I happen to be going out too, so leave it to me, and I'll deliver it for you."

As Xiong Qingqing said, he stretched out his hand to Qiu Guixiang.

Qiu Guixiang stepped back half a step, doubts arose in her heart.

Doesn't this girl usually hate going to the coffin shop?He also said that after seeing those coffin wreaths and so on, he would have nightmares at night, what happened today?
"Forget it, what are you doing in the shop, little girl? I'll go."

Qiu Guixiang said, carrying the food box and walking towards the door.

Xiong Qingqing followed, and said: "I'm not a little girl anymore, I've grown up. Auntie, it's not easy for you to take care of our siblings, so let me help you share the burden."

Qiu Guixiang frowned, did this smelly girl take the wrong medicine today?Still have something to ask her?
"What's the matter with you today? You don't want to ask me for money, do you? Let me tell you, I don't have any money." Qiu Guixiang turned cold, but she didn't agree to let Xiong Qingqing help.

Seeing her leaving with the food box, Xiong Qingqing looked at Xu Lingze, gave him a wink, and the two of them quietly chased out together.

The Zuo family's Paradise Coffin Shop is only two streets away from where they live, and it takes about 10 minutes to walk there.

Xiong Qingqing and Xu Lingze were careful along the way, for fear of being discovered by Qiu Guixiang.

When they arrived at the entrance of Tiantian Coffin Shop, the two hid and came out of the corner after seeing Qiu Guixiang leave.

After entering the coffin shop, the clerk Liu Laizi smiled and asked, "Hey, why are you two here? Girl Xiaoying, aren't you scared? Why are you here today, aren't you afraid of having nightmares at night?"

Shopkeeper Zhou of the coffin shop asked: "Girl Ying, boy Le, does the boss have something to bring over?"

"No, we're just here to take a look, and to build up our courage." Xiong Qingqing said.

Shopkeeper Zhou patted her head, "You girl, come to the shop and look at the coffin, just want to strengthen your courage?"

"Didn't I dare to look at it before? Shopkeeper, did you buy a coffin today?" Xiong Qingqing asked.

"Today there are three coffin buyers. See those three coffins over there? Someone will come to take them away in the afternoon." Shopkeeper Zhou replied.

Xiong Qingqing was puzzled, "Is the business of our coffin shop so good? Have you never heard of any dead people nearby?"

"You silly girl, don't you have to wait for someone to die before you can buy a coffin?" Limp Liu laughed at her while holding his job bowl.

"Then... when you are not dead, or when you are about to die, you will buy a coffin and prepare it?" Xiong Qingqing asked again.

"There are rich people who are seriously ill who come to buy coffins, and they can be happy when they buy coffins home. The old horse in the blacksmith shop next door, her mother has stepped into the gate of hell, and the coffin has just been bought. The old lady is alive again!" said Cripple Liu.

"Oh... I didn't expect there to be such a saying."

Xiong Qingqing saw Xu Lingze sneaking into the counter, holding shopkeeper Zhou and Liu Zizi talking non-stop.

"Shopkeeper, Uncle Liu, can our coffin shop sell coffins every day?"

"Silly girl, if the business of the coffin shop is so good, we at Zhuoyuan will be doomed!" Shopkeeper Zhou said with a smile.

"Girl Ying, our Tiantang coffin shop is famous far and wide, and everyone in the world knows it, so they can barely hold on. There are still many who can't afford a coffin, and they pay on credit at our shop, and your father doesn't ask for it. It looks like it's going to close down." Liu Laizi complained.

"Then... no, right? Anyway, we all live in Zheyuan, so we can always get the money back." Xiong Qingqing said.

Shopkeeper Zhou sighed, "I heard that war has started in the north, and I don't know if it will come to our side."

"Where the war is fought, the business of the coffin shop must be good!" Liu Lizi joked.

Shopkeeper Zhou smiled, "You old boy, you are not afraid of entering the hell of cutting your tongue."
