"I'll just take it and throw it into the corpse refining furnace and that'll be it." Heimao said nonchalantly.
Yan Zi glared at him at the time and said, "You, shorty, didn't agree to burn this thing at all. Why do you change your tune now? Do you think what you say is bullshit?"
Heimao chuckled and said, "I wasn't worried about this thing's father at that time. Now it seems that the lewd snake may have been killed by someone long ago. Why should we be afraid of it!"
Yan Zi looked at him and sneered. I was speechless too. Whenever these two met, they would quarrel. But judging from what happened to Chen Yuande that day, Heimao was just tough on the outside. When it came to the critical moment, he was still nice to Yan Zi.
Ma Lao Da Dao: "What do others think?"
The muscular man scratched his head and laughed, "You guys handle this matter yourself. I can't think of anything." As for the skinny guy, don't count on him.
I looked at the iron cage and saw the little monster inside it arched its body into a "B" shape, as if it had sensed the danger. Its little pink head turned around and its cheeks bulged.
Originally, Boss Ma said that he wanted to throw this little thing into the corpse refining furnace and burn it, and I supported it. After all, this thing that is neither human nor snake may become a monster that harms people when it grows up, so it is better to kill it as soon as possible. However, as the ancients said, today's matter should be dealt with today, and it really cannot be delayed. If I delay this, I will inevitably develop feelings for this little freak and feel reluctant to let him go.
"This thing looks weird, it's obviously a disaster, let's just burn it." I suggested to everyone. I don't know if the little freak understood what I said, he turned his head away and just puffed his cheeks at me, seeming to be extremely angry.
"But last time we broke the fire situation, this thing was a contribution to our funeral home. It would be unfair to burn it now." I kicked the iron cage and said, "How about we keep it for two more days and see how it goes?"
Boss Ma glanced at me and said with a smile, "It seems that Yan Zi is right. You have developed feelings for it. Well, if you want to keep it, then keep it. After all, it indirectly saved our lives. But you have to watch it carefully and make sure it doesn't do anything weird."
When I heard this, I was very happy and nodded in agreement. I kicked the iron cage to make the thing turn its head back. What the hell is it staring at me like that?
"There's something else I'm going to trouble you with." Boss Ma stopped smiling and said in a deep voice.
Seeing his different expression, I unconsciously became a little dignified and stood up straight, but I already had a premonition in my heart. Sure enough, what Boss Ma said was still about the big nose named Chen Yuande. According to the news that Lion Head had inquired back, Jiang Chuhong and his group had been looking for Chen Yuande for a long time and had left Sanhua District a few days ago to search elsewhere, and the pretty boy surnamed Pang also disappeared, but it was said that he did not leave with Jiang Chuhong and the others.
"It's time to deal with Chen Yuande . Keeping him around will always be a big trouble." Boss Ma rolled his one eye, a gloomy look on his face, "This matter shouldn't be done by a child like you, but it's inconvenient for the rest of us to go out during the day, so we can only ask Lao Liu to do it. You know Lao Liu's situation, so we can only ask you to accompany him."
My heart was pounding, thinking that they were going to take action against that bull nose. From what I have learned in the past few days, although Boss Ma and his men are now living in seclusion in this dilapidated funeral home, they were probably not ordinary people doing legitimate business before. Jiang Chuhong came to the house that day and said that Boss Ma and his men seemed to be tomb robbers. Although I don't know whether it is true or not, the woman has a sharp eye, so there is always a 30% to 40% possibility.
Judging from the behavior of these people, most of the time they are very unconventional and completely unrestrained by etiquette. I guess this time the cow nose is in trouble. Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Ma Lao said: "You and Lao Liu go to the pig house to bring the cow nose out, and go to East Street to find a man named Zhang the butcher to kill the cow nose."
I was startled and shuddered. This ox nose was really in trouble. He was actually going to be taken away and slaughtered like a pig! Although I was used to seeing all kinds of hideous and horrible corpses, I couldn't help but feel cold all over at this moment.
Ma Laodao: "If this Chen guy doesn't die, we will die! This old man has brought this upon himself, no wonder we are so cruel!"
Although I am still young, I understand this principle. If Chen Yuande escapes today, then the next moment, all of us in the funeral home, including the lion head, will probably die in his hands. And according to the cunning of Maoshan magic, we probably won't even know how we died.
This is a question of who is the fish and who is the butcher.
"The people from Maoshan may come again at any time, so we must act as soon as possible." Ma Laodao said: "Xiao Qi, you have to remember, if you don't make a decision when you should, you will suffer the consequences. Sometimes, when you need to be ruthless, you must be ruthless! If it weren't for the soft-heartedness of an old man like me, you wouldn't have ended up like this." As he spoke, there was already a hint of hostility in his voice.
I was secretly shocked when I heard this. I looked at Heimao, Muscle Man and others. They all looked solemn, especially Yan Zi, whose face was pale and even her arms were shaking slightly. Boss Ma mentioned that they might have suffered a great loss , so they hid in this dark place.
"Why do you want to ask Butcher Zhang to do this?" I asked, but my voice was a little dry and hoarse. Heimao was in charge of the corpse refining room. If he really wanted to get rid of that Ox Nose, he could just push it into the corpse refining furnace and burn it into ashes. Why would he go to the butcher's house and chop it off? To say that it was purely for revenge and torturing that Ox Nose, it didn't seem like Boss Ma's style.
At that time, Boss Ma mentioned that all Maoshanmen had a secret technique that allowed them to place a trace of resentment on the person who killed them before they died. Could it be that Boss Ma was plotting to kill someone with a borrowed knife in order to divert the disaster to Zhang the butcher? This reason seemed to make sense at first glance, but on second thought, it was full of loopholes. With Jiang Chuhong's poisonous eyes, as long as she found Zhang the butcher, how could she not see the problem behind it?
Then I heard Master Ma say, "The group of idiots in Maoshan have a secret technique called 'sending grudges'. When a person is about to die, they can send a trace of grudges into the body of the person, so that their fellow disciples can come and avenge them. However, this secret technique is not always effective. For example, if you meet a person who has a strong murderous aura, and you kill him with a killing blade at noon, the grudge may not be able to enter his body at all, and the spell will be ineffective."
"Killing Blade?" I have actually heard of this thing. To put it simply, a killing blade is a sharp blade that has killed countless souls, just like the sword of an ancient general or the ghost-head knife of an executioner. They have drunk countless blood and killed countless souls. This is the so-called killing blade. It is said that the killing blade has a very strong evil spirit and can drive away ghosts and evil spirits. There has always been a folk custom of using killing blades to ward off evil spirits. For example, if a child in a family keeps crying at night, they will find a killing blade and hang it at the door.
It is said that the most powerful killing blades are the Bai Qi Sword and the Dog-Headed Guillotine of Kaifeng Prefecture. Countless souls have died under the blades, and the evil spirits have soared to the sky, and all evil spirits have retreated. However, in recent years, there have been no wars as before, so where can we find the killing blade?
Boss Ma smiled and said, "This butcher's craft is passed down from generation to generation. Especially the butcher knife in his hand, which has been passed down from generation to generation for hundreds of years. I don't know how many animals have been slaughtered with it."
When he said that, I immediately understood. If it was a knife like this, it could be called a real killing blade.
Before leaving, Lion Head said that he knew where the butcher lived, so why not let him go with me. Boss Ma agreed immediately, after all, Skinny Bamboo had long arms and legs, and it would be too inconvenient to go out and attract attention.
Boss Ma handed me a yellow envelope. I squeezed it and saw a thick stack of money inside. I knew it was filled with banknotes, probably about ten thousand yuan.
"This butcher only cares about money, not people. If you give him the money, he won't make trouble."
