1141 Words
Bai Zhou came to the mirror and found that there was a health bar above his head with his name on it.
The number was 30. It was full at this time and the "+" behind it was also gray.
Huh?
Why is it different from Uncle Jiu’s?
She was confused.
Who is the person who wants to kill her?
He once said that she was unlucky but wanted to marry into a wealthy family, so she deserved to die.
She couldn't help but think of her fiancé.
Yes, she has a fiancé. It is said that he is rich and powerful, and he is a wealthy son.
When he was five years old, he got seriously ill and was about to die. The hospital has issued a critical illness notice to arrange funeral arrangements.
In desperation, his family had to find a master. The master said that he only had five years to live. If he wanted to change his destiny, he could only find a girl with strange horoscopes and marry her.
Somehow, that family found her and said they wanted to get married.
She was only one year old at the time, and her grandfather actually agreed, and she just got a fiancé out of nowhere.
Strangely enough, on the night after the engagement ceremony, the condition of the wealthy young man improved. The disease that was originally fatal was cured in less than a month.
She had always known about this, but since the engagement, that family never came to see her again, and her grandfather never mentioned it again, so she thought it was just a joke and didn't take it seriously.
Such a child's play engagement actually cost her her life!
Could it be that that family disliked her family for running a shroud shop, so they sent people to kill her to silence her?
That's not right, it's just an engagement, just terminate it. Why do you need to do such illegal things?
Logically speaking, she should call the police.
But what will she say when the police come?
Said that she was killed, came back to life, and could still see other people's blood bars?
The police were able to send her to a mental hospital on the spot.
Forget it, find time to call off the engagement. It would be a shame to be killed for a man you have never even met.
But...
she looked at the bloodstained shop, how long would it take to clean up?
By the time she cleaned up the house, it was already dawn. The coffin shop and the incense and paper money shop next door were also open, and the business was actually pretty good.
Only the shroud shop in Baizhou was empty.
A new shroud shop opened not far across the street. The shop was beautifully decorated and had many styles of shrouds at very cheap prices. It immediately took away 80% of the business.
Grandpa has always insisted on hand-making, holding a wine bottle every time, and drunkenly said that people in the past believed that the dead were the most important, and the dead were given the best clothes to wear, but now, just find a few pieces The cloth was wrapped around it.
Bai Zhou looked at his bank card balance and found it was less than one thousand yuan.
It would be better to rent out this store and collect rent.
As soon as this idea came to my mind, suddenly the phone rang.
She picked up the phone in confusion, and a male voice came from inside, with an aggressive tone: "Is this Anle Shroud Shop? My surname is Li, how is the shroud I ordered? I ordered it more than a month ago, why haven't I finished it yet?" My mother is dying. If you don't deliver it to me before tonight, I will smash your shop!"
Bai Zhou looked confused.
She opened her grandfather's accounting book, and sure enough, there was an unfinished order recorded in it. The person's surname was Li, and he ordered a hundred-year-old shroud, which should have been delivered a week ago.
Looking at the order date, it was the day his grandfather passed away, and Bai Zhou felt a little sad.
This was the last order that grandpa took, and she had to help him complete it no matter what.
She opened the warehouse and found a roll of silk fabric with a hundred Chinese characters for "longevity" forming a gorgeous and low-key dark pattern.
These fabrics were all designed by grandpa himself and ordered by the factory. None of the hundred characters "longevity" on them are the same.
Such shrouds are not cheap, a set costs several thousand, and Grandpa has not opened up the market to the upper class circles, so it is not easy to sell one in a month.
According to local customs, elderly people who have been ill for a long time will prepare their funeral arrangements in advance, and the production of shrouds is also very particular.
First of all, the shroud cannot be made of fur, otherwise the shroud will be reincarnated as an animal in the next life.
The number of pieces of clothing and trousers should be avoided to prevent double happiness and misfortune.
Generally, "five collars and three waists" are required, that is, five tops and three culottes.
People in Yanxia all "regard death as life", which means to treat the dead as a living person, so the style of the shroud is the same as that of a living person.
In ancient times, if the deceased was an official or had a royal title, he could be buried in official clothes. , even ordinary people, as long as you have money, can wear ninth-grade official uniforms on the road.
This is why the zombies in the movie all wear Qing Dynasty official uniforms.
The Li family customized a Chinese-style shroud. Bai Zhou chose blue fabric for the top and brown fabric for the lower skirt. The skirt also had a pattern of five blessings and longevity.
According to the rules, the lining of the coat must be made of red cloth, which means that the future generations will be prosperous.
The sleeves must be long and the wrists must not be exposed, otherwise the descendants will reach out to beg for food.
Buttons cannot be used on the clothes and must be tied, otherwise the descendants will be " "Rebellious son".
Her grandfather has been saying this in her ears since she was little, and it has been engraved into her soul.
Time was tight, and by the time the entire set of clothes was finished, it was already dark. The strange thing was that she didn't feel tired, but instead felt energetic.
Is it because of my 30-point health bar?
