"There's an empty room over there, used for storing empty coffins."
The old blind man pointed to the other side of the mortuary. "Stay there if you like!"
The moment Li Pu heard it was used for storing coffins, he lost all desire to stay there. He hurriedly asked, "What about those two from before... the two mortuary helpers? Didn't they have somewhere to stay?"
"Was some little bastard talking just now?"
The old blind man turned mockingly toward Li Pu and deliberately picked his ear, clearly having no intention of answering.
Li Pu was so furious he wanted to sew the old blind man's mouth shut with a needle!
"Sir, sorry for the trouble, but please use this money to buy some incense and offerings for me. We're very sorry to disturb the two deceased. Please burn a stick of incense for us later." Ye Qianfan slipped the old blind man some more money.
The old blind man pocketed the money with a smile. "They lived next door to me, but that room is tiny. It only fits two people."
"And it's not that I'm unwilling to let you stay there. Those two brothers sometimes go back at night."
"So I'd advise you not to set your sights on that room."
With that...
The old blind man tottered away on his cane.
"Pah!"
Only after the old blind man had left did Li Pu spit in his direction. "Who the hell do you think you are? Guarding a mortuary has somehow made you nobility! Back when I stitched corpses, what mortuary hadn't I visited, what dead person hadn't I seen? Are the dead here somehow more important?"
"Li Pu!"
Ye Qianfan hurriedly called out to him.
The old man had already hinted that the word "dead" was taboo here.
