Zhentian coffin

Gu Xiaomi deserves to be loved by thousands of people in the Gu family. We were talking about important things, and she was eavesdropping, but neither the old lady Gu nor Gu Zhiyuan seemed to be angry at all. Beckon her to come over, then hold her in your lap.

Soon, Gu Zhiyuan brought out the box that the old lady mentioned. It was a very old suitcase with dust all over it. It could be seen that it had not been used for many years. Gu Zhiyuan found a towel and wiped the box.

"Xiaomi, do you know what's in the box?"

The old lady patted the suitcase and said to Gu Xiaomi.

"it's baby"

Gu Xiaomi's eyes are bright, but I feel like a thief, as if I have been coveting this box for a long time.

"Haha, that's right, it's my baby. My aunt's ancestors relied on this to earn a living. Now our family doesn't rely on this to eat, but we can't forget the skills left by our ancestors. Xiaomi, do you want to learn?"

"Aunt"

As soon as the old lady said this, Gu Zhiyuan immediately changed his face and shouted.

Inside this box are the tools of the mortician. The old lady meant to pass these things on to Gu Xiaomi. This is not because Gu Zhiyuan is jealous, but because she is unwilling to let Gu Xiaomi suffer. For the mortician, not everyone can do it. It was done, Gu Xiaomi was only so old, and it was an unimaginable scene for her to face a bloody, fragmented corpse.

"think"

But without waiting for the old lady to respond, Gu Xiaomi had already agreed, how could she know what this meant.

"Auntie, Xiaomi..."

Gu Zhiyuan couldn't bear it anymore, and emphasized again, do you have to make Gu Xiaomi suffer?

"It's okay, don't force it, just take Xiaomi to open your eyes this time, if Xiaomi doesn't have this blessing, no one will be able to help you"

The old lady didn't force it, now that the times have changed, the Gu family doesn't depend on it anymore, she just doesn't want this ancestral secret technique to be lost.

Not everyone can learn the secret technique of the Gu family's mortician, and it has always been passed on from female to male, which is just the opposite of other ancient techniques. This means that there are no other women in the Gu family, otherwise they would not find Shang Gu Millet.

Only then did Gu Zhiyuan look better, a mortician, many men can't stand it, let alone a child like Xiaomi.

The old lady opened the suitcase, and there were rows of long and short needles neatly placed inside, as well as strange things, as well as a roll of thin thread and several bottles and jars. The old lady asked for a new one. Towel, and then began to wipe those things, the movement was very slow, but very serious.

"Scary feeling"

Chen Menghan from Yanghunmuli said suddenly, before I could react, the old lady raised her head suddenly, her eyes became extremely sharp, staring at my pocket.

"Brother Liu, what's in your pocket?"

The old lady said to me with a smile, but her words made me shudder, and I already felt the sternness in her voice.

"My master gave it to me, there is another story here, it's inconvenient..."

I was shocked, the old lady must have seen something, I dare not hide it, but I don't want to expose Chen Menghan's existence, raising a kid, no matter what time or place it is, is not an honorable thing, so I can only push on Liu Laodao.

"absurd"

The old lady commented coldly, but said nothing, and continued to wipe her things.

After a while, those tools were cleaned, and Gu Zhiyuan also found a middle-aged man, who also called the old lady and aunt, who seemed to be Gu Zhiyuan's brother, called Lao Liu.

The sixth child is in the vegetable and fruit business in Xuangu Town, and he is doing well among a group of brothers. He bought a pickup truck by himself and can carry goods in the city. At this point, the car back to Qinghe Town is gone. We have to let Lao Liu take us back.

The old lady was very straightforward, she got up and left when people arrived, and finally decided to take Gu Zhiyuan and Gu Xiaomi with her. Gu Zhiyuan was mainly going to take care of Gu Xiaomi.

It was only when I got in the car that I realized that the old lady hadn't talked about the remuneration with me yet, and the snacks from Qinghe Town must not be enough, and it was mainly because of Liu Laodao's favor that I was able to come forward, but what should be given must be given, so I directly stated the bottom line that Liu Laodao told me.

"Too much"

Before the old lady could speak, Gu Zhiyuan couldn't help shouting that this amount was enough for his annual income.

"Not much, this is what you deserve, this craft, not everyone will know it"

I quickly said, this number seems a lot, but it is nothing to Boss Chen's family. The richest man in Qinghe Town is not just talking about it casually.

The old lady has never expressed an opinion, so how much money does not matter to her, what she is interested in is Liu Laodao's favor, otherwise it would be impossible to invite her out of the mountain with no amount of money.

"Young man, how much do you know about morticians?"

The car was boring and boring, the old lady said to me with a smile.

"Corpse seamer, that means sewing corpses. It literally means this, but my master told me that the Gu family's sewing skills are very powerful, and they can make broken corpses look like real ones."

I replied honestly, I really don’t know much about corpse seamers, I just explained it literally, isn’t it just sewing flesh and blood together like a tailor, but the Gu family is better.

I have also seen many people in Qinghe Town who were injured and then went to the hospital for stitches. Their wounds are terrible, like centipedes, and I have never seen people like Gu's.

"Indeed, there were morticians in every prefecture and county in ancient times. Where there were beheads, there were morticians. However, our Gu family is the only one among them. There is a story about this matter. According to my grandma, during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, our Gu family was just an ordinary farmer.

The family couldn’t afford to farm, so they sent their son out to learn a craft. He learned the craft of a cobbler. He studied for three years and worked for three years. After suffering a lot, he finally learned a handy craft. The daughter-in-law is kind-hearted, she always helps people, and she also worships Buddhism. Once she met a passing Taoist priest, she not only kept him for food and lodging, but also gave him travel expenses.

Before leaving, the Taoist priest gave the ancestors of the Gu family a divination to help them tell their fortunes, but after the ancestors reported their birthdays, the Taoist never mentioned the excuse of fortune-telling. Instead, he proposed to stay another night and give it to the wife craft.

At that time, it was not easy to learn crafts, and no one would think too much, but after one night, the daughter-in-law didn't mention the crafts learned, and my ancestors of the Gu family didn't say anything.

Decades later, the Gu family has become a wealthy family, but bandits arose in this area, forcing people to pay food and money. We, the whole family, were sent to jail.

In the prison, the ancestors of the Gu family heard the conversations of the guards and soldiers, saying how tragic the previous battle was, and many of the comrades had no bones left, torn apart, and so on. Only then did the ancestor's daughter-in-law of the Gu family remember the story that was passed on to her by the Taoist. Therefore, she boldly told the officers and soldiers that she has the skill of sewing corpses, which can make the clothes seamless, and the broken corpses can be stitched into a whole.

This was heard by a passing military officer, who gave the Gu family a chance, and the result was as promised by the ancestors of the Gu family. Therefore, after many years, when the war subsided, the Gu family returned to Xuangu Town. There is another alias for the craftsmanship, which is called flawless..."

The old lady talked endlessly about the origin of her craft, with a rather smug expression on her face, while Gu Xiaomi, Gu Zhiyuan, and the sixth child who drove were all listening attentively. It seemed that they knew very little about the corpse seamstress.

But I also realized at this time that the old lady took the opportunity to give Na Gu Xiaomi the knowledge of the seamstress. It seems that the old lady still wants to pass on this craft to Na Gu Xiaomi.

I looked at the eccentric but very cute Gu Xiaomi, tsk tsk, I don't know what kind of scene it would be for her to face those fragmented corpses.
