Chapter 49: Item 2: Picking up the item - Candy store
The knocking sound was unusually obvious in the silent night.
It's like someone who has been sleeping for a long time knocking on the door, tempting the outsider to open the door that shouldn't be opened.
The crow in the tree flapped its wings and landed on a tombstone nearby.
Song Buyu was also panicked, but when he saw that Chen Li looked even more panicked than him, he couldn't help but comfort him:
"Don't be afraid, I have props."
The small props that the desperate NPC gave them as compensation should be able to save their lives at the critical moment.
Song Buyu took out the silver crow-shaped pendant from his arms and waved it in front of Shen Li.
It's the crow again!
Shen Li took a step back in panic.
What a coward.
Song Buyu thought he was afraid of the things in the coffin, so he found Shen Li's name in the address book and added a long note for him:
My weak, helpless, timid and useless roommate.
The "little loser" could hardly help at all, so Song Buyu had to do the task of removing the discord himself.
He held a small flashlight in his mouth and began to pry open the coffin nails one by one.
"Stand back a little more and be ready. I'm going to open the coffin. If anything goes wrong, you run away first, okay?"
Song Buyu was still worried about him and gave him many warnings and instructions.
Chen Li nodded vaguely, but he didn't actually hear what Song Buyu was saying.
At this moment, there were several crows perched on the tombstones on both sides of him, watching the fun. A row of crows also stood on the top of the dead tree behind him.
He didn't dare to move at all!
Song Buyu was busy opening the coffin.
He didn't dare open it completely, so he just opened a small gap at first and shone the flashlight through the small gap.
Inside was a girl lying, wearing a red dress.
The face looked lifelike, without any signs of decay.
Song Buyu checked the tombstone again to confirm the name of the tomb owner.
Ada.
Judging from his date of birth and death, he was only eighteen years old.
How is it possible that the body has not decayed at all after being buried for two whole months?
Could it be that someone had taken anti-corrosion measures in advance?
And where did the knocking sound just now come from?
Looking at her beautiful face, Song Buyu couldn't help but wonder if she was not dead at all?
So he opened the gap in the coffin a little wider and reached out to feel her breath.
No breathing at all.
The skin was cold, and he was indeed dead.
Could it be that the knocking sound just now was an auditory hallucination?
The problem now is that the coffin has been opened, and it would be unreasonable not to check her teeth.
Moreover, they didn't have much time left, and it was too late to dig other graves now.
He can no longer count on Shen Li.
Song Buyu could only muster up his courage and gently pinch the female corpse's cheek to check her teeth.
He held a flashlight in his mouth and examined it carefully.
The teeth in the upper row are all intact, but there is a tooth missing on the left side of the lower row?
Seeing this, Song Buyu was speechless.
"She must have had buck teeth, but she had her teeth extracted before she died."
"What bad luck! We can't get the dead man's teeth. What should we do?"
Song Buyu was so busy turning around and sighing with Shen Li that he didn't notice that the female corpse in the coffin slowly sat up and grabbed Song Buyu's neck.
The female corpse was so powerful that Song Buyu couldn't breathe for a moment and his face turned red.
"Chen...Chen Li..."
He leaned backwards and was almost dragged into the coffin by the female corpse.
Shen Li wanted to go forward to help, but as soon as he moved, the crows around him flapped their wings and flew away.
Song Buyu's eyes rolled up and he almost suffocated. He could only subconsciously punch back with his elbow.
The body of this female corpse was sewn together and was very unstable.
Under Song Buyu's attack, one arm fell directly to the ground.
Song Buyu quickly broke free and took out the crow pendant hanging around his neck again.
"The name of this necklace is the Raven's Oath. It can be used an unlimited number of times. At critical moments, you can summon the crows around you to help you out of trouble. But it also has a big disadvantage. If there are no crows around, it cannot be used."
The NPC in Desperate Situation looked heartbroken when he gave the compensation item to Song Buyu.
"I was originally going to sell this necklace for 688 points, but now I'm giving it to you for free as compensation for the accident just now."
Song Buyu recalled the instructions that the NPC in Desperate Situation had told him, and raised the necklace towards the female corpse.
"Kill her!"
The crows roosting in the cemetery came in groups as if they had received an order. Shen Li's face had never looked so ugly.
He squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, and the only sound he could hear was the flapping of crows' wings.
He really wanted to ask Ye Minglang for help.
But after the previous few times, no matter how slow he was, he understood that whenever he needed Ye Minglang and silently said his name in his heart, the other party would receive the call and come immediately.
This should be the effect of this silver snake ring.
He must have been exhausted, as he was summoned for no apparent reason several times while wearing pajamas and bare feet.
So even if he was scared now, he tried hard to restrain himself from thinking about it and not to silently repeat that name in his heart.
He didn't want to bother him anymore if it wasn't necessary.
Shen Li huddled in place, shivering. After a moment, he felt that the crows around him had dispersed.
He carefully looked up and observed his surroundings. When he saw that the crows had flown away, he breathed a sigh of relief and stood up.
The female corpse was lying on the ground in pieces.
Like a rag doll with its limbs and head torn off, it posed no threat to them.
Chen Li closed his eyes, gradually got into the state, and sensed the breath of the female corpse.
The resentment is overwhelming.
Judging from her current appearance, she must have died a miserable death.
But before burying her, the people who buried her sewed up her torn body and performed embalming.
Let her sleep forever underground in the most beautiful appearance she had in her life.
Song Buyu was still adjusting the crow feathers stuck in his hair when he turned around and saw Chen Li picking up the remains one by one and putting them back together in their original shape in the coffin.
He looked very focused while doing this, as if he was repairing a broken piece of porcelain.
The sun gradually rises in the sky.
The wild flowers around the cemetery were covered with dew and about to bloom.
Chen Li closed the coffin and buried it again.
Finally, I picked a bunch of wild flowers and placed them in front of the tombstone, sincerely apologizing:
"Ada, I'm sorry to disturb your eternal sleep here."
Song Buyu was covered in dirt.
They watched the sun rise, but that night, neither of them was able to complete the task of delivering the dead man's teeth.
He let out a long sigh.
"The mission has failed anyway, Shen Li."
Song Buyu patted the seat next to him and invited him: "Why don't you sit down and enjoy the sunrise?"
These two people don't look like they have failed in their mission at all.
No one looked lonely.
They only live in the present moment.
Leave all your worries behind and watch the sunrise first.
A crow landed on a tombstone not far away and stared at the backs of the two of them.
The penetrating morning fog had already completed its mission of catching the voracious insects. It sat high up on a treetop and opened its little notebook to record:
5:37: The lifesaver and Song Buyu sat together to watch the sunrise.
Remembering the boss's previous request for her to keep an eye on Chen Li, Zao Wu added professionally under this line:
They sat in front of Miss Ada's tombstone and watched the sunrise together. Song Buyu leaned towards his savior, using the excuse that there was dew on the stone on the left.
They were very close to each other, talking and laughing.
5:40: Song Buyu took a crow feather from the head of his savior, and the savior politely said thank you twice.
5:42: Song Buyu picked the wild flowers at his feet and handed them to his savior, who smiled.
5:43: Song Buyu’s feet were numb when he stood up, and his savior helped him leave.
As Hayami wrote this, she felt the branch she was sitting on tremble.
Qian Shi appeared beside her at some point and craned his neck to look at her little notebook.
"Tsk...it's really detailed."
He took off his black gloves and suddenly said to Zao Wu in a serious tone, "We have worked together for three years. Have I ever cheated you?"
Hayami thought about it.
"Yes, you sold me the sweet-scented osmanthus rice cake for 30,000 points each."
"That time doesn't count!"
Qian Shi corrected him: "Besides cheating you of your points, have I ever cheated you in other places?"
Zao Wu thought about it carefully again and shook his head.
"No."
"That's good. Take my advice. If you want to stay in front of the boss longer, don't write so much detail."
Qian Shi considerately took the pen from Zao Wu and crossed out the entire page.
What the hell is this? The boss didn't get angry after reading it, so he wrote his name upside down.
Once the boss gets angry, they will all have a hard time.
Crossing it out was still not a good idea, so Qian Shi simply tore up the entire page and taught Zao Wu word by word:
"Just write, 5:40, Shen Li is safe, that's all."
"What about five forty-two?"
"Ditto, Shen Li is safe. And you don't need to record it so frequently, just record it once an hour."
"oh."
…
…
When Chen Li and Song Buyu returned to the candy store, it was already completely light.
The candy store welcomed the first batch of customers. Chen Li was an honest man. As soon as he entered the store, he found Xia Li to report the situation:
"I'm sorry Mr. Charlie, we didn't..."
"Shen Li! Why did you come back just now?!"
Yu Qianqian interrupted Chen Li's report and said, "You two asked me to bring the tooth to Mr. Xia Li for you. Why did you come back so late? What on earth have you been doing?"
Fortunately, she and the big guy completed the task for four people overnight and prepared a few more buck teeth.
As daybreak approached and the two of them still hadn't returned, Yu Qianqian knew what was going on and decided to help them complete the task.
But Shen Li was not good at lying and denied it on the spot: “I didn’t… um…”
As soon as Chen Li opened his mouth, Yu Qianqian grabbed his neck and covered his mouth and dragged him away.
This scene fell into Zao Wu's eyes through the eyes of the sparrow.
Zao Wu bit the end of the pencil. "At seven o'clock, the lifesaver and Yu Qianqian are arm in arm? Is this correct?"
Qian Shi quickly corrected her, "No, just write, at 7 o'clock, Shen Li returned to the candy store safely."
"In short, don't write about any physical contact between other people and Shen Li. Just report his safety."
If she writes like this, this family will break up sooner or later.
