Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings-Chapter 59: Geng Youcai: How About Giving the Old Man a Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin?
There’s no way to fix it now that it’s come to this.
If I had known, I would have cremated Wen Yingying’s father’s corpse.
The body is so desecrated now, it’s indeed disgusting.
"Hey!" Lin Yuan looks at Wen Yingying, whose eyes are filled with tears, and says, "How about cremating your father’s body?"
Upon hearing this suggestion, Wen Yingying shakes her head and says, "Our hometown values burial customs; when someone dies, they should be laid to rest."
"Let’s just bury him directly, after all, they’ve already taken all the tattoos from my father’s body."
"They probably won’t do anything more to my father’s body."
Burial!
That’s quite normal, although before the eerie invasion, the government was already strongly advocating for cremation.
But, there are still many remote areas, including some minority groups, that still practice burial.
The customs vary from place to place, and this is completely understandable.
Just as Wen Yingying mentioned, the Deceitful King Faction has already obtained what they want.
This corpse, to them, no longer has any value.
Just as they were preparing to re-bury Wen Yingying’s father, Lin Yuan suddenly says to Zhang Zhen: "Go find a sack to put the body in."
Zhang Zhen: "???????"
Zhang Zhen looks perplexed, thinking, Boss, why do you always have me do strange things?
First, you had me strip a male corpse, then dig up graves.
Now you want me to put a corpse in a sack.
No, did you make a mistake!
Judging by the work I’m doing, the position you gave me isn’t the power bureau chief, it’s more like a funeral director!
I’m starting to suspect I’m being fooled!
Is it still possible for me to leave now!
I’m really impressed!
In Zhang Zhen’s clear but slightly foolish eyes, there are now a few strands of confusion.
Lin Yuan touches the head of Wen Yingying, who is sobbing in his embrace, and says, "Take your father back, bury him by the artificial lake!"
"That way, you can see him often."
Upon hearing Lin Yuan’s words, Wen Yingying’s eyes are filled with gratitude.
Given Wen Yingying’s expression now, I’m telling you, once the sadness passes, she’ll definitely ’thank’ Lin Yuan eighteen times over.
"What are you waiting for?"
"Aren’t you going to find a sack for the body?" Lin Yuan sees Zhang Zhen still standing there and scolds him.
Zhang Zhen: "???????"
Zhang Zhen gets startled by Lin Yuan’s shout and quickly says: "Okay! Okay! I’m on it, I’m on it!"
Zhang Zhen goes into the house to find a sack, thinking, he’s so gentle with her, but so fierce with me.
Good! Boss, are you discriminating between men and women?
Just you wait, I’ll post on social media and see if the brothers stand by you!
I’ll tell you, not only sisters can fight back, brothers are also very good at it.
Zhang Zhen finds a sack inside and loads Wen Yingying’s father’s body into the sack, Lin Yuan drives, and the three return to the villa area.
This car can’t be used anymore.
The car got sprayed with blood by the Night Traveler, like ketchup got spilled all over it.
Now with a corpse inside, the smell is overwhelming.
Forget it!
Anyway, this thing can be acquired for free now; I’ll pick up a new car from a dealership some other day.
...
...
After a night of chaos, by the time they return to the villa area, it’s already eight in the morning.
Outside the villa area, Geng Youcai is busy building the walls of the shelter.
You really have to admit, the Lu Ban Tattoo’s ability is truly useful.
In such a short time, he’s already built about twenty to thirty meters of wall.
Seeing Lin Yuan’s car stop, Geng Youcai rushes over with a warm greeting: "Boss, you’re back!"
Lin Yuan nods and says to Geng Youcai: "Put aside your work for now, make a coffin."
As they speak, Zhang Zhen also moves the body off the car.
Although it’s in a sack, Geng Youcai, being such an old hand, can tell it’s a corpse.
"What is this?" Geng Youcai asks tentatively.
Lin Yuan doesn’t conceal anything and straightforwardly says, "Yingying’s father."
Upon hearing it’s Wen Yingying’s father, Geng Youcai immediately gets excited, repeatedly saying, "Make a coffin!"
"This is easy to handle; it’s my old trade, I’ll make one that’ll satisfy the old man."
Geng Youcai knows, helping Wen Yingying means helping Lin Yuan; after all, Wen Yingying is Lin Yuan’s woman.
"By the way!"
"Should we make a flip-top or a sliding cover coffin?"
"I’d say, use pure wood for the bottom, and make the coffin lid from glass; call it the panoramic canopy, very trendy!" Geng Youcai starts describing his coffin designs.
This guy Geng Youcai, is practically a great inventor, with so many ideas!
Building a coffin, he can offer options for flip-top, sliding lid, and panoramic canopy.
"My father is quite traditional in matters of burial, so let’s make a traditional coffin!" Wen Yingying says, her voice somewhat low.
Traditional?
After mulling it over, Geng Youcai slaps his thigh and says, "How about Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin?"
"I’ll carve a grandiose coffin for the old man, with nine dragons at the head; how about that, isn’t this idea amazing?"
Lin Yuan: "???????" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin?
Are you planning to send my father-in-law straight to Mars?
If the dragons come alive and fly the coffin off to Mars, what then?
"A grand coffin is okay, but forget the nine dragons!" Lin Yuan decides.
After saying this, Lin Yuan tells Zhang Zhen: "You stay here and help him, hurry up and get the shelter built."
As he leaves, Lin Yuan gives Geng Youcai a hard stare, indicating he shouldn’t get fancy.
After Lin Yuan leaves, Zhang Zhen eagerly asks Geng Youcai: "Boss said I’m supposed to be the power bureau chief here, by the way, how many people are in this shelter!"
"You think, as power bureau chief, how many people can I manage?"
Geng Youcai: "???????"
Geng Youcai thinks, Boss must have fooled another foolish guy in here!
"Counting you, five?"
"Manage people? You’re nothing but a solitary commander!" Geng Youcai says irritably.
"Oh!" Hearing this, Zhang Zhen feels a bit disappointed.
Seeing Zhang Zhen’s disappointment, Geng Youcai instigates, "How about we run away together?"
"I’ve heard the official shelters aren’t bad either!"
Geng Youcai is intimidated by Lin Yuan’s ability to deal with evil spirits as easily as chopping vegetables; he definitely doesn’t dare run alone.
However, if someone joins him, he’ll consider trying.
"No! No!" Zhang Zhen shakes his head like a rattle and says, "I’m not running, even though there are few people now, but when there are more, won’t I still be the power bureau chief?"
"If I go to the official shelter, I’ll surely be a small fry."
Saying this, Zhang Zhen curiously asks, "You arrived earlier than me, what’s your position?"
"Construction Bureau Chief!" Geng Youcai thinks, Boss didn’t arrange for me to be an official!
But, he arrived earlier than Zhang Zhen, so he can’t lose face.
Thus, he self-appoints the title.
