Chapter 251 A Bone Woman Who Sold Her Father to Bury Him (4)
After closing the first deal,
Xia Youmi gradually started her daily routine of setting up a stall.
She doesn't set up her stall every day; it all depends on the quality of the pine coffin she has.
The longest interval was ten months before it was replaced.
The customer, whose family ran a coffin shop, treated his "father-in-law" with the same fervor one would show when giving betrothal gifts.
It's important to know that pine wood is relatively inexpensive, making it suitable for ordinary families to transport and bury. However, only those who have used it know that ordinary pine wood is prone to warping, cracking in dry environments, and rotting easily in humid environments.
Xiao Zhong, the second-generation coffin maker, said that his family had two century-old larch coffins on hand, one for each of his parents.
But his father ran away not long after he was born.
Leaving such a high-quality larch coffin for anyone would be inappropriate.
Now that I've happened to meet Xia Youmi, shouldn't I give her to my father-in-law? After all, she's my dad.
That was indeed the best and most beautiful coffin made of pine wood that she had seen in Ganzhou City over the years.
In terms of her cultivation, she also benefited greatly.
Xia Youmi was extremely careful, even using several old coffins as cover to hide this pine coffin.
Only when they are sure there are no outsiders will they dare to go inside to sleep.
She is also grateful.
Sometimes, when he runs into acquaintances who are no longer doing well, he will recommend them to buy coffins from Xiao Zhong's shop.
They not only introduce business opportunities but also promote the high quality of their products.
This allowed Xiao Zhong's family shop to expand several times over, and his mother seemed to have finally found happiness, taking a new husband as her new husband.
During that period,
Xia Youmi also found a surprise behind his house, with a sign that read: "Abandoned, please take it yourself."
She secretly observed for several days, but no one took it.
I carried it away under the cover of night; it was made of pine! Although the material isn't as good as larch, it's very comfortable.
There are even cloth pillows inside!
That was also the time when Xia Youmi was at his richest, not only did he own the best larch trees, but he could also stock up on several brand new ones.
about,
The shortest interval between her setting up and changing her stall was only one day.
No sooner had he finished a business deal than someone hired a demon hunter to come knocking on his door.
It turns out that Xia Youmi was also being targeted.
They're just using entrapment tactics.
She deliberately hired an honest man to complete the transaction with her. At that time, Xia Youmi originally did not want to sell to him.
because,
There was no longing in that man's eyes.
She understands human desires and greed best; without those qualities, she fears that trading with people would diminish her merit.
But soon, a man appeared behind him, claiming to be his elder brother, saying that his younger brother had come to her because of him.
Xia Youmi saw that the man was full of lewdness, and his turbid eyes were full of contempt and a sense of certainty.
Only then did he agree to sell "Daddy" to him.
As she retrieved the coffin and returned to her lair, preparing to begin her cultivation, she was reminded again that a green-clad demon hunter was heading straight for this location.
They also brought many props, perhaps intending to draw spells outside the cave to bind her.
Xia Youmi quickly led her bone toys away to escape, settled their personal belongings, and then returned to teach them a little lesson.
Sure enough, they had all finished drawing when they returned.
It's still that kind of weakening and binding spell; if I were inside it, I'm afraid I'd be powerless to do anything about it.
Her demonic power can directly knock down a green-clad demon hunter, but if she is afflicted with weakness, it is as if she is weighed down by a thousand pounds and cannot resist.
At last,
The two bad guys, having failed to find anything, were beaten up by Xia Youmi on their way down the mountain.
He became the father who would set up a stall next time.
in fact,
Xia Youmi didn't deliberately look for the items she used for her stall.
Almost all of them came to her on their own, wanting to take her down and break her up at the drop of a hat.
Xia Youmi would judge the severity of the attack based on the person's aura and merits. Sometimes she would just knock them unconscious, and they could be used to set up a stall.
Occasionally, there would be patches of litter, and since she didn't want to clean them herself, she would ask the animals for help.
Those people,
Sometimes, after completing a transaction, they wake up and run away immediately.
Sometimes it becomes a hot potato for buyers, but those with a conscience will help bury it.
E.g,
At first, Butcher Zhu was too proud of himself and told people that he was going to bury his father-in-law.
later,
There was really no way to deal with the "father-in-law," and reporting it to the authorities would make him suspicious, while telling others would be embarrassing.
So they had no choice but to bury it, holding their noses, but they used a rolled-up straw mat.
The man buried there was a professional swindler who bankrupted many families; it's an understatement to even have straw mats for him.
Some customers would leave things unattended, at which point Xia Youmi would come over and deal with the mess herself.
occasionally,
If you encounter someone like Xiao Zhong, you won't complain that the business is dishonest.
They even reflected on it, realizing that the girl wasn't wrong; it was indeed "selling her father to bury him."
She conducted the transaction honestly, and the goods were delivered to him without question, so it cannot be considered fraud.
Therefore, a thin coffin would be prepared to properly bury the person, although the location and time were not important.
But to have done this much is already more than enough.
Xia Youmi would make a note of such people and repay them in kind.
On one occasion,
She encountered a kind-hearted man who was murdered after the transaction was completed. Xia Youmi immediately offered a new pine coffin to collect his body. She also asked a few friends, found the man's enemy, and gave him the lesson he deserved.
It was through this cycle of gratitude that Xia Youmi earned the appreciation of the old banyan tree spirit, who treated her like his granddaughter.
Although Grandpa Tree Spirit couldn't leave, the birds and animals all liked him.
He often receives treatment from him, and he also confides in his grandfather about his feelings and exchanges gossip about the outside world.
Xia Youmi heard most of what happened outside the city from her grandfather.
She never cared about the troubles between the male and female protagonists, because she was just an insignificant little sprite in the side stories.
Once you've fulfilled your obsession of living to three hundred, you'll have no regrets about coming here.
......
Yesterday,
At the time when the story unfolded, she was setting up her stall as usual.
At the age of 299, Xia Youmi could clearly sense the leap in his strength and the stability of his physical form.
I used to always manage to get away with it, partly because my appearance was inconsistent; I was beautiful, but the focus was always off.
E.g,
Today her upturned eyebrows are too charming, tomorrow her downturned eyes will reveal her coldness.
The most important thing is that it's too pure, too spotless, then it looks fake and lacks appeal.
There are indeed gods in this world, but there is a clear boundary between them and the mortal world. Neither side can easily interfere with the other, let alone have differences in flow rate.
Xia Youmi is now gradually stabilizing as a fifteen-year-old girl.
His expressions are becoming more and more natural.
It's unlikely to have that fake, forced smile.
Her stall area has expanded to the vicinity of the city gate, where there is no formal market and at most a few people carrying goods hawking their wares.
The downside is that it's far from the coffin shop.
The advantage is that there are many people, and most of them are just passing by; very few people have actually seen the sign.
Although she kept an eye out for her every year, she inevitably ran into her old customers in the city.
If they keep pestering me to buy a second time, will I sell it or not?
Therefore,
She also started a mobile stall.
When he was trading with a scholar, people pointed and whispered behind his back:
"Son, look, the prettier the demon, the more likely she is to feign pitifulness, and then take advantage of you when you let your guard down!"
"I don't believe it."
