Beast Control: Starting From SSS Talent
Chapter 486 Funeral
After listening to Li Xiang's story, Mr. Wang nodded appreciatively and praised: "Sure enough, a hero comes from a young age. He has such courage at a young age."
"Old man, actually I admire you the most. When you were young, you not only saved my grandfather, but also opened up a field to the east of the village so that the homeless can have enough to eat."
"Oh! Forget about the past!" Mr. Wang waved his hand and said.
"Haha... By the way, old man, did you come to see me today for something?" Li Xiang looked at the old man with a smile.
The old man took a deep breath and said: "Young man, I know it's a bit presumptuous of me to call you here so late. But... I am indeed in trouble!"
"trouble?"
"It's like this. When the villagers were making trouble two days ago, I happened to go to the countryside to do some personal business. When I came back, I saw the village was in chaos, and later, there was a fire. I heard from the village party secretary that you can exorcise ghosts and catch demons, and some other skills. Simple medical skills, so I would like to ask you to help drive away the evil spirits in the village."
After hearing what the old man said, Li Xiang was stunned.
At this time, the old man continued to explain: "Young man, I don't ask you to catch the evil spirit and eliminate the evil in the village. I just hope that it will stop hurting the villagers. Don't worry, I will give you a certain amount of reward every month."
After Li Xiang was silent for a moment, he raised his head and asked, "Old man, since you can trust me, you might as well tell me about the evil ghost in detail first!"
"Okay!" The old man nodded and began to introduce the evil ghost to Li Xiang.
According to Mr. Wang, evil spirits come in different forms, including men, women, young and old; some are vicious, cruel, and murderous; some are cunning and cunning; some are gentle and kind and treat people well; some are jealous and strong. , easily provoked dissension... In short, evil spirits are all kinds of strange and difficult to guard against.
Evil spirits are a form of life in nature that survive in different ways. They may like sunlight, rain, and the scent of flowers, trees, and other plants. Sometimes they lurk at the bottom of rivers, secretly devouring animal or fish carcasses; sometimes they lurk in caves, sucking the blood of snakes, insects, rats, and ants; even worse, they disguise themselves as various creatures and sneak into the crowd, and then Waiting for an opportunity to commit a crime.
Evil ghosts are an ominous sign, and if they are not eliminated in time, they will plunge society into turmoil.
Therefore, Mr. Wang begged Li Xiang to eradicate the evil spirits and not leave any harm to the world. Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous!
After listening to the old man's words, Li Xiang fell into deep thought. He never imagined that evil spirits really existed in this world.
"Uncle Wang, draw the specific image of the evil ghost and let me take a closer look!" Li Xiang said seriously.
Mr. Wang nodded, took out a piece of oil paint from his arms, and quickly sketched it.
"Is this...is this a human being?" Li Xiang pointed at the monster drawn on the paper and asked doubtfully.
I saw in the picture a monster with a big knife on its back. The monster is black all over, with a wide mouth, cold fangs, and thick and strong limbs.
This painting was drawn by Mr. Wang based on the description of the evil ghost in his mind. Although his painting skills are very average, he can clearly express the shape of the evil ghost.
"Young man, this evil ghost is humanoid, but it is definitely not a human. This monster has a big nose and eyes, very pointed ears, and a tail. This animal is called a wolf and it is the king of the jungle." Mr. Wang is serious. analyzed.
"Well, Uncle Wang, thank you."
"You're welcome, you should thank your grandpa."
Li Xiang laughed when he heard this, then turned and left.
After returning to the hotel, Li Xiang was completely sleepless again, so he simply sat by the window and stared at the stars in the night sky.
Suddenly, a pot of spider plant on the windowsill suddenly shook, and a green vine emerged from the leaves of the spider plant.
"Ah~" Li Xiang exclaimed and quickly stepped back. He was so focused on the starry sky just now that he didn't notice anything strange about this spider plant.
This spider plant has grown to five or six inches long. It is green all over, with broad leaves like scallops, and covered with a thin layer of down. On its top, three purple-red flower buds bloom, and the flower buds are round, like three crescent moons.
"Could it be..." Li Xiang's eyes widened and he looked at the spider plant in disbelief.
This spider plant is my grandfather’s relic. At first, after his grandfather passed away, his father gave him the spider plant and told him to take good care of it.
Li Xiang has been fond of spider plants since he was a child. Every time he has free time, he will quietly look at the spider plants. Over time, he found that the changes in the spider plant became more and more obvious.
First of all, the color of the spider plant is much greener than before. In addition, the branches and vines of the spider plant have become thicker, and the leaves are becoming more lush.
The most important thing is that the spider plant actually makes a sound, as if someone is touching it.
"Could it be that the spider plant has intelligence and can talk?" Li Xiang was extremely excited, staring at the spider plant closely and murmuring to himself.
Just when Li Xiang was about to reach out to touch the spider plant, the spider plant suddenly shrank back, as if it was avoiding Li Xiang.
Li Xiang was slightly startled, with a wry smile on his face.
"Xiaoqing, do you still remember me?" Li Xiang asked tentatively.
Unfortunately, the spider plant still didn't respond.
Li Xiang sighed and said, "Xiaoqing, don't worry, I will definitely protect you in the future!"
After Li Xiang finished speaking, he left the room and went straight to the village chief's home. As soon as he walked through the door, there was a burst of noise and crying in the courtyard.
Li Xiang frowned, walked to the courtyard, and looked into the house.
At this time, two coffins were placed in the center of the courtyard.
In front of the two coffins, there were people wearing white clothes and mourning hats.
In front of the coffin, stood several elderly funeral workers from the village. Among them was Mr. Wang.
After Mr. Wang saw Li Xiang, he eagerly came up to him.
"Little brother, how is my daughter-in-law?"
Li Xiang sighed, lowered his head and replied: "Uncle Wang, please forgive me and accept the change!"
Li Xiang knows that Mr. Wang is an old man who loves his grandchildren eagerly. Now that his grandson's wife has died of illness, this blow must be huge and the old man can't bear it.
After hearing Li Xiang's answer, Mr. Wang seemed to have lost all his energy, staggered a few steps and almost fell down.
Li Xiang hurriedly supported the old man and comforted him: "Uncle Wang, please bear with me and accept the change!"
Mr. Wang took a deep breath to calm down his sad mood.
He wiped away his tears and said tremblingly: "Little brother, please help me with the funeral arrangements. At least tell the villagers that my grandson-in-law is dead..."
Li Xiang nodded and agreed to the old man's request.
Later, Li Xiang carried out the funeral for the old man according to the rules. Then, Li Xiang talked with Mr. Wang in detail about the evil ghost.
Since the evil ghost's whereabouts were mysterious, the clues Li Xiang provided to Mr. Wang were very simple - the portrait and the ancient poem.
The next morning, Li Xiang came to the village chief's house.
Mr. Wang has packed up and is waiting for Li Xiang in the house.
"Little brother, thank you for your hard work last night!" Mr. Wang held Li Xiang's hand and said gratefully.
"Uncle Wang is so polite! These are what I should do." Li Xiang said.
Mr. Wang took out a few hundred yuan and stuffed it into Li Xiang's hand, and said solemnly: "This money is a piece of my heart. Please help me get rid of the spider plant. I'm afraid it will harm others again!"
Li Xiang couldn't refuse, so he accepted Mr. Wang's money.
"Uncle Wang, don't worry. Leave the Chlorophytum to me, and you can take care of yourself in peace." Li Xiang comforted him.
Mr. Wang looked at Li Xiang expectantly and asked, "Little brother, do you have a way to eliminate this evil spirit?"
"Yes, I have found a solution!" Li Xiang nodded affirmatively and continued: "I just need an opportunity..."
"What opportunity?" Mr. Wang asked eagerly.
Li Xiang thought for a while and said: "I am going to go to the provincial capital or city. I believe there must be a solution there."
"Okay! I'll go with you."
"Uncle Wang, you are old and have a long journey, so don't worry about your age. I will go to the provincial capital to find someone for help, and I will be back soon."
"I'm fine. I want to see if I can help." Mr. Wang said stubbornly.
"Uncle Wang..."
"Okay, young man, it's settled. You quickly pack up and leave the village with your things."
Li Xiang couldn't resist Mr. Wang and finally agreed.
The two left the village and embarked on the journey to the provincial capital.
Because Mr. Wang's legs and feet were inconvenient, they drove all the way to the provincial capital.
With Li Xiang's help, Mr. Wang organized the funeral. Afterwards, Mr. Wang couldn't wait to follow Li Xiang to the city.
Li Xiang arranged for Mr. Wang to rest in a hotel, while he left alone and rushed to the funeral parlor in the city.
In this era, there are professional funeral companies that undertake various funeral activities.
In this era, in addition to funeral work, social entertainment products are also very influential.
Although Li Xiang studied in an agricultural college, he is a doctor after all.
In this materialistic society, if you want to make a lot of money, you must know how to invest. Otherwise, you can only become a pauper.
Li Xiang's first pot of gold came from funeral work.
Li Xiang came to a funeral parlor in the suburbs. This funeral home is a private funeral home, where many corpses are parked, and it also includes some organ donation and other matters.
Li Xiang came to the person in charge of the funeral home and asked, "Excuse me, can I accept organ donation here?"
"Okay!" the person in charge said.
"Thank you. I wonder which organs are needed?" Li Xiang asked.
"You fill out a form first, and I'll let you know when I find out."
"OK!"
Li Xiang took out a pen and paper and quickly wrote down the organs he needed.
At this time, Li Xiang noticed that the person in charge was always looking at him. Li Xiang secretly yelled, "Did the other party recognize his identity?"
Thinking of this, Li Xiang quietly tore up the form.
However, the other party found no abnormality.
"Okay, you go back first and come back to get the results tomorrow!" the person in charge said calmly.
"Well, thank you!" Li Xiang responded politely, turned around and walked out of the funeral home.
As he walked, he pondered. Why was the other person staring at me just now? Could it be that he knows his true identity?
Thinking of this, Li Xiang couldn't help but shake his head and smile. I am just an ordinary doctor, how could the other party know me.
After walking out of the funeral home, Li Xiang hailed a taxi and returned to the village chief's home.
When Li Xiang entered the door, he happened to meet the village chief walking out of the room. When the village chief saw Li Xiang coming back, he said with a smile: "Little brother, you are back!"
"Yes! Village chief, how is Mr. Wang's physical condition?" Li Xiang asked with concern.
"It's good. Little brother, I was just going to find you, but I didn't expect you to come back."
"Oh, what's the matter?"
"Today at noon, the town leaders will have dinner at the town government. Can you go there?" the village chief asked tentatively.
"No problem, I'll follow you."
The two took a car to the town government. Li Xiang originally planned to buy a box of cigarettes as a gift to the mayor, but the mayor refused.
The two went directly to the restaurant on the third floor.
At this moment, some people had gathered in the restaurant. Among them were the town committee secretary and the mayor’s wife. In addition, there are several people who look like leaders.
Li Xiang and the village chief walked to the dining table and greeted everyone. Later, the village chief asked him to sit with the mayor. He chatted with the mayor for a while and then left with the mayor, leaving the mayor's wife to chat with others.
"This little brother, we are really destined to meet again."
"Haha...yes!" Li Xiang smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to answer the question.
At this time, the village chief and the town chief came back again.
"Do you know each other?" the mayor asked.
"Yes, he is from our village." The village chief said with a smile.
"So we're fellow villagers." The mayor nodded, looked at Li Xiang, and said, "Little brother, does your accent sound like that of Beihai City?"
"Yeah. My parents are both locals."
"So that's it. No wonder you can make coffins." The mayor suddenly realized.
"Yes! My parents taught me when they were still alive that no matter what the circumstances, never forget the skills passed down by our ancestors."
"Well! That's not bad. However, sometimes, you have to learn to enjoy it when you have money. Otherwise, such excellent genes will be wasted." The mayor said seriously.
"Yes!" Li Xiang nodded. He deeply felt that the mayor was very pragmatic.
Later, the village chief and the town chief chatted, and they mainly discussed how to build a new tomb.
The two talked for a long time, finalized a series of details, and discussed the date and address.
"Okay, just do as I say, and try to dig the grave as soon as next spring and bury it as soon as possible," the mayor said.
"Yeah!" The village chief nodded.
"By the way, little brother, you can come to work at the town government when you have time! I think your conditions are particularly suitable for this job." The mayor suddenly suggested.
"Uh! I'm afraid that won't work." Li Xiang waved his hand hastily.
"Why? I see you are young, why don't you make more money than making coffins?" the mayor asked.
"I like being a doctor." Li Xiang replied.
"Hello, doctor!" The mayor's eyes lit up and he said, "Brother, if you are interested, you can join our medical rescue team. I guarantee to give you the highest remuneration."
"this……"
"What? You don't want to?" the mayor asked, raising his eyebrows.
"No...this is not good, right?" Li Xiang said.
