All the ancestors in the capital begged me to be a substitute

Chapter 21 Is there a flaw?
In the mourning hall.

The moment Liu Si's body sat up, the three people in the room were shocked.

Liu Si's wife, Zhao Afeng, was the first to react, and she rushed forward and cried bitterly, "You dead ghost, you have such a cruel heart. At the beginning, it was agreed that you don't want glory and wealth, as long as you can live a safe and stable life, but now you But left me and the child, just left, how do you let me live in the future..."

Hearing this, Liu Si's soul took two steps forward, trying to pull his wife into his arms.

But now he is just a wisp of dead soul, with his arm passing straight through her body.

"Ah Feng, I don't want to either." Liu Si was extremely sad, and also cried out, "Just treat it as I owe you in this life. If there is another life, we will still be husband and wife, and I will make it up to you."

At this moment, his body suddenly raised his arm, patted Zhao Afeng's shoulder lightly, and repeated his words, "Afeng, I don't want to either. Just treat it as what I owe you in this life, if there is another life , we are still husband and wife, I will make it up to you."

His voice was almost the same as his original voice except that it was a little stiffer.

The cries of Liu Si and Zhao Afeng stopped abruptly.

This weird and horrifying "deceitful corpse" scene.

If ordinary people saw it, they might run away in fright.

But they are family...

Even the last time in his life, he never said goodbye to his dear family members.

"Father..."

"Daddy!"

Liu Si's son and daughter, with tears in their eyes, immediately rushed forward and hugged his body tightly.

It was as if his father had come back to life.

"Don't cry, don't be sad for me anymore, you see...I'm fine, aren't I?"

Liu Si's dead soul wiped away tears, knowing that time is precious, and hurriedly said: "Feng, you have always been in poor health, remember to drink medicine, eat well, and don't stay up all night playing tricks. In order to earn the money, if If I hurt my eyes, I will be sad."

"Girl Xing, from now on, talking and doing things are more important than brains. Don't be self-willed anymore. Listen to your mother and don't let her worry about you all the time."

"Xiao Wu, although you are a younger brother, you are the only boy left in our family. Your mother and your sister will depend on you in the future. You must learn your skills to support this family."

Every time his soul said a word, the body would make the same sound, as if his soul really returned to the body.

A pair of sons and daughters responded repeatedly, and the wife was already crying so hard.

"Okay, don't be sad anymore, just treat it as if I'm traveling far away, even if Yin and Yang are separated, our family will meet again in a hundred years."

"You must live a good life, be happy, be happy, have children, and have children and grandchildren, and I will feel at ease under the nine springs."

When it came to the end, Liu Si's dead soul lost all sadness on his face.

He turned to look at Shen Lingxi, "Girl, it's fine. I thought I had thousands of words to say to them, to tell them how much I miss them and this world. But in the end, I found that saying these things will only make people It's even more sad, what's the point of what's going on now, why don't we just say goodbye, I just want to see them all well, and I'm satisfied."

Shen Lingxi understood what he meant, so she used his body to say: "I worked for Master Hou, and secretly saved a lot of private money, which was converted into silver bills and entrusted to Taoist Master Miaoling. Ah Feng, the money I saved earlier, You save for the old age and take good care of yourself. When the right time comes, take those banknotes and redeem Xingyatou and Xiaowu so that they can behave decently. Don’t be sad when I’m gone. See you in the next life. .”

After saying this, she loosened the silk thread on her fingertips, and the corpse fell limply like a kite with a broken thread.

Zhao Afeng and her son and daughter cried bitterly again.

Shen Lingxi raised her eyes and looked in the direction of Liu Si's soul.

Her clear eyes, reflecting the candlelight, are as clear and pure as colored glaze, with a sense of compassion for living towards death and transcending life and death.

Liu Si bowed to her, "Thank you, miss."

Shen Lingxi returned the gift silently.

When their crying subsided, Shen Lingxi took out the 500 taels of silver note from her purse and handed it to Zhao Afeng.

"This is what Liu Si asked me to hand over to you. The dead are dead, and the living are like this. The murderer will be brought to justice soon. Please mourn."

She bowed to them, nodded slightly to Liu Si's dead soul, and then walked out of the mourning hall.

The courtyard was empty and deserted, the night breeze was blowing, and the bright moon hung high.

Breathing can smell the aroma of herb and saponins.

Shen Lingxi took a deep breath to free her thoughts from the grief of parting in the mourning hall.

She went to the well, washed her hands carefully with saponins, and walked out of Fu'an Hall.

Just as she was about to go back to the coffin shop to rest, she saw a very handsome man in a moon-white robe, dressed as a Confucian scholar, stepping on the moonlight, walking towards her.

Shen Lingxi looked at the man with a dazed expression for a moment.

"Hi shopkeeper Shen. My surname is Ning. I'm the sixth in my family. I'm from Sucheng." The man stood still in front of her, and bowed to her in a gentle manner. Knowing the bad news, I came here overnight, and I want to go to the mourning hall to express my condolences, I wonder if it is possible?"

Shen Lingxi rubbed her eyes, and took a good look at him.

Chu Yan couldn't understand, so he stood up straight and looked down at himself.

Is there any flaw in this outfit?
No.

"Girl?" He asked puzzledly, "Why do you look at me like this?"

Shen Lingxi's eyes flickered slightly, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

"I'm sorry." She apologized, "In the middle of the night, the gentleman with such a handsome appearance suddenly appeared in front of my little girl. I didn't take a few glances, so I couldn't confirm whether the gentleman was a human...or a monster in the mountains."

Chu Yan couldn't help laughing, his handsome face was like a bright moon, with a noble and elegant charm, which made people unable to take their eyes off.

"Miss praise." He politely asked again: "I wonder if I can go to the mourning hall to mourn Yaoniang, and see her one last time?"

"If you want to express your condolences, Mr. Lang has to go to the mourning hall. If you want to see her, I'm afraid you can't do it now." Shen Lingxi looked distressed, "The weather is hot, Yaoniang's body is kept in the ice cellar, and it will take six days to wait." Only on the day of the funeral can the body be carried out."

"So that's how it is...then come back in a few days." Chu Yan saluted and said goodbye.

However, he turned around and took two steps, but then walked back.

"Shopkeeper Shen, I'm sorry, I'm impatient at the next moment, I came in a hurry, and I didn't pay attention to the time..." His blushing face was blushing, "Going back to Beijing now, the city gate is closed. In this village I don't have a place to stay, I wonder if the shopkeeper has a place to stay and bother me all night?"

Shen Lingxi was a little embarrassed.

"If it's inconvenient, then..."

Before Chu Yan finished speaking, he heard the soft voice of the other party, and asked cautiously: "I don't have any extra beds in this shop, only coffins, can you...can you live?"
