A secluded place in Jinling City.
The whole street seemed to have an eerie feeling, especially at the end of the street, where there was a coffin shop, which made it even more creepy.
Luo Fan came to the coffin shop early in the morning, opened the door, cleaned the place, and greeted the new day.
He came here to work after graduating from college. He is always trembling with fear and dares not slack off for a moment.
Unfortunately, the boss only treated him as cheap labor and did not appreciate his hard work.
Fortunately, Luo Fan is optimistic and knows his fate, and does not have too many dreams.
"Oh, it's another busy day!"
Luo Fan sighed, then turned on the light and prepared to clean.
I don't know what sound was heard, and the light that was originally on suddenly went out.
Luo Fan was startled and quickly turned on the backup lights.
Just at this moment, the door that was originally closed was suddenly opened by someone, and the sound of footsteps slowly came.
Luo Fan was shocked and thought something supernatural happened so early in the morning.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and after a while, a figure suddenly jumped out.
"What are you doing, sir, what...what do you want to do?"
Seeing this man covered in blood and holding a dead body, Luo Fan took a few steps back in fear.
The man was none other than Chen Haotian, and the person in his arms was Xue'er who had been dead for a long time.
"Give me the best mahogany coffin." Chen Haotian said expressionlessly.
He was unable to take care of Xue'er before he died, and now that she is dead, Chen Haotian must make sure she leaves in a proper manner.
"This...this sir, I...I..."
Luo Fan was so scared that he didn't dare to speak. He didn't know whether it was because he was too timid or because Chen Haotian looked too scary at the moment.
"You run a coffin shop here, don't you even have a good coffin?"
Chen Haotian glanced at Luo Fan, and that look immediately made Luo Fan feel as if he had fallen into an icicle, and he trembled all over.
Having read too many stories about supernatural beings, especially those in his line of work, they are even more afraid of ghosts and gods.
Luo Fan didn’t know whether the guy in front of him was a human or a ghost.
Not daring to hide anything, Luo Fan pointed to the corner and said, "That...that's the best coffin in our store, all made of redwood."
Following the direction pointed by Luo Fan, Chen Haotian touched the coffin made of large mahogany and seemed to think that this coffin was okay and should be suitable for Xue'er.
Without thinking too much, Chen Haotian stepped forward and put the mahogany coffin on his shoulders.
At this time, Chen Haotian held a mahogany coffin in his left hand and was holding Xueer's body. His clothes were covered in blood and his face was covered in blood and flesh. Under the flickering light, he looked even more terrifying.
Luo Fan was so scared that he hid in the corner and trembled, not daring to look at him any more.
No one even knows when Chen Haotian left.
He didn't know how long it had been, but when he felt that the surroundings had become quiet and that terrifying man had left, Luo Fan dared to open his eyes.
Not seeing Chen Haotian, Luo Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh no! The coffin!"
Luo Fan then remembered that the guy who was neither human nor ghost seemed to have taken away a coffin.
Luo Fan glanced over and saw that, as expected, the place where the large mahogany coffin had been placed was now empty.
It turns out that this was not a dream.
"It's over, it's over, it's over!"
"If that boss Zhou Paopi knew that I lost his coffin, he would skin me alive!"
"What should I do? What should I do now?"
Luo Fan was so anxious that he stamped his feet. Boss Zhou was mean and stingy, and valued money more than his life. If this loophole could not be filled, he would be doomed.
But what should I use to make up for it?
This is the best coffin in the store, and it costs 50,000 yuan. With my salary of 4,000 yuan, it will take more than a year without food or drink to pay back the money.
What's more, he has a mother and a younger sister to take care of, and he has no money to fill this gap.
What should I do?
As soon as Cao Cao was mentioned, he appeared.
When Luo Fan was wondering what to do, a voice was heard and a fat man in his forties appeared in Luo Fan's sight.
The person who came was none other than Luo Fan's boss, Boss Zhou.
"Xiao Fan, why are you here so early today?"
“I…I…”
Luo Fan hesitated, not knowing how to respond to Boss Zhou.
He now only hoped that Boss Zhou had not seen the coffin, so that he would still have a way to make amends.
However, what he feared came true. When Boss Zhou turned around, he found that the large mahogany coffin that was originally placed in the corner was gone.
"Hey, why is our store's treasure missing? Xiaofan, did you sell it?"
"Sure, I haven't been here for just one night, and you sold it. You're really getting better and better. I've decided to give you an extra hundred dollars this month as a reward."
After seeing the mahogany coffin worth 50,000 yuan being sold, Boss Zhou seemed a little excited. That was a considerable income.
He, who always valued money, immediately offered Luo Fan a reward of 100 yuan.
"No, Boss, I...I..."
"What do you mean by 'I'? Are you dissatisfied with the reward? How about this? If you sell me two more coffins today, I will give you another 100 yuan reward. How about that?"
"No... No... Boss, the coffin was... Was it taken away by someone?"
"Taken away? What do you mean? I don't understand. Can you tell me again?"
Boss Zhou had a bad feeling and asked with a frown.
"I... there was a man who came here early this morning, and he..."
Luo Fan recounted the whole story of the strange things that happened to him early this morning in a disjointed manner.
"In other words, you encountered a blood-stained man holding a corpse early in the morning, and he carried away my big mahogany coffin right under your nose, right?" Boss Zhou said with a sneer.
“Yes… that’s right.”
"You big-headed ghost, Luo Fan, you secretly took away my big mahogany coffin, and you even dared to make up such a lie to deceive me. Do you think I am a fool?"
"Boss, I'm not lying to you. This is all true."
"Really? I'll beat you to death, seriously, I'll beat you to death!"
Boss Zhou picked up a wooden stick and hit Luo Fan.
"Boss, please listen to my explanation!"
"I'll beat you to death, you big-headed ghost!"
"ah……"
"My eyes, my eyes!"
Luo Fan covered his eyes and lay on the ground wailing. It turned out that Boss Zhou's stick hit his eyes.
