Chapter 45: Target of Surveillance
The next day, Lin Feng was preparing to make a cabinet when Li Erniu and Zhang Dazhuang brought a group of beggars and refugees toward the small courtyard.
"Brother Lin?"
Before the people got close, the sound of Li Erniu's broken-gong voice reached Lin Feng's ears.
"What? Are you here to deliver corpses?"
Hearing the voice, Lin Feng put down the firewood knife and wood in his hand and looked toward the outside of the small courtyard, while asking him.
"No, no, not that. Today, I'm specifically bringing some new gravekeepers over. However, the old seniors in the graveyards of other sizes are basically dead, so I can only bring people to your side!"
Li Erniu walked close to Lin Feng, then pointed to a group of ragged people behind him and said this to Lin Feng.
"Is the vacancy only filled now?"
Lin Feng didn't care about this, but felt a bit strange.
"This line of work is eating dead people's food, after all, there are more or less taboos. If it weren't for having no way out, how would ordinary people do this? And it's not like everyone is as capable as you, little brother!"
Hearing this, Li Erniu immediately flattered Lin Feng. As the time of contact became longer, they became clearer that Lin Feng's ability was not simple.
"Hmm, good, what do you want me to do?"
Lin Feng looked at the pair of timid, fearful, and worried eyes of the group of people behind him, and instantly remembered the scene when the original owner, Gou Dan, first came to the Ding-character graveyard.
"Where would I dare to trouble you, little brother? Just letting Old Quezi tell them the rules is enough. Don't be stupid, don't commit taboos, that's all."
Li Erniu said with a bitter smile. He actually wanted Lin Feng to say how to safely dig holes and bury corpses, but obviously, this kind of thing couldn't be said directly.
As errand runners who mixed in the yamen, even if they were stupid and didn't understand things, they understood through ear and eye that this kind of thing that had no benefit to them should not be done if it could be avoided.

"Oh, that's fine."
Lin Feng nodded. He really didn't have the mood to do any new employee training, after all, there was no benefit.
"Old Quezi, Old Quezi, come out to work!"
Seeing Lin Feng agree, Li Erniu immediately called toward the wooden house, and then Old Quezi walked out leaning on a cane.
"You all listen carefully, this is an old senior who has worked in the graveyard for half a year. If you want to live long, you have to prick up your ears and listen to what he says!"
Seeing Old Quezi come over, Li Erniu explained his intention, and then Zhang Dazhuang began to say loudly to those newcomers.
"Oh."
"Understood."
"When will the grain be distributed?"
"..."
However, it was obvious that these newcomers, who had been tortured by hunger and poverty until they were not human-shaped, were not particularly interested in these contents.
They just wanted to find their own territory, get the grain distributed by the government, and live the days promised by the errand runners before.
"These ungrateful things, hehe, anyway, they have already signed and pressed their fingerprints now. I won't hide it from you. Being a gravekeeper in this graveyard is a job that costs your life!"
"Ever since I became an errand runner, I don't know how many stupid eggs who thought they were smart died the next day after working. Don't blame me for not reminding you stupid melons. If you don't listen carefully, hehe, the ones who will be dragged out and buried in the ground tomorrow will be you!"
As Zhang Dazhuang put down the harsh words, the scene became terrifyingly quiet. This time, even if they were stupid, they understood what to do.
"Cough, cough, Old Man doesn't have any ability. I've been able to live for so long with a lame leg, just remember a few points!"
"First, you must not go out at night. Whether someone knocks on the door, someone calls you, or there is any movement, you must not go out!"
"Second, if you encounter a corpse-jumping when burying a corpse, you must not panic. We are living people, it is a dead person. As long as we have many people during the day, it can't make any big waves!"
"Third, Old Man was rescued by a god a while ago. That god is incredible. Do you guess how powerful he is?"
"That night, a ghost was so fierce, but that god smashed it with one cudgel and the ghost died thoroughly on the spot. When it was daytime, Old Man took a look, wow, it was actually a floater in the river!"
"And Old Man heard that Chen Family Village was also rescued by this god, so later I thought about finding someone to make a statue and worship it every day. Don't say it, this worship really has an effect!"
"A while ago, people in other graveyards died, but nothing happened here. I slept until dawn..."
Lin Feng, who was moving to make a wooden cabinet on the side, listened to Old Quezi constantly bragging about the Great Sage Equaling Heaven and couldn't help but get goosebumps.
It was no wonder this old guy asked him to make a statue a few days ago. Lin Feng hadn't reacted at the time, but he didn't expect this old guy to have this purpose!
What made him feel even more embarrassed was that this old guy had actually become a loyal believer of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven. At this moment, he was actually preaching to those new gravekeepers.
After a long while, Old Quezi didn't stop until he felt thirsty, and then Li Erniu and Zhang Dazhuang took those newcomers away.
They even wanted to leave one or two for Lin Feng to do odd jobs, but were rejected by Lin Feng without mercy.
The reason why Lin Feng did this was partly because he had many secrets on him, and the more people there were, the easier it was to be exposed, which didn't fit Lin Feng's idea of wanting to live a stable life.
On the other hand, Lin Feng himself didn't like to use people as tools, and he felt uncomfortable being served.
Following Li Erniu and Zhang Dazhuang on the road, a few new gravekeepers plucked up their courage and asked them:
"Two errand runners, does that young man have any special ability?"
They had seen Li Erniu and Lin Feng talking earlier, and these errand runners were so respectful to a gravekeeper, which was enough to explain the problem.
"You want to know?"
Li Erniu turned around, his eyes swept over them, and then he asked lightly.
"Yes, yes, yes, I'm a newcomer, I'm afraid of offending someone with ability, I hope the errand runner can solve the confusion!"
A newcomer asked him carefully.
"Oh, that's right. Telling you is fine. That Brother Lin does have ability. He has even been to the cemetery of the Ghost Suppression Division twice!"
"Hehe, you know that is a place specifically for handling funerals for ghosts. Being able to come out of there safely shows how great his ability is!"
Speaking of this, Li Erniu closed his mouth, then glared at everyone with Zhang Dazhuang, and then took them to their respective graveyards.
The person who asked was assigned to the Bing-character graveyard not far from the Ding-character graveyard, and there were two others with him.
After Li Erniu and the others left, this person changed his cautious appearance and said to the other two: "Hey, this guy is really not a simple good as said above. I just don't know what his purpose is for mixing into the gravekeepers?"
"Forget it, the above just let us watch. Anyway, I didn't see anything just now, but the dog he raised by his side looks quite smart."
Another gravekeeper looked in the direction of the Ding-character graveyard, where he could see the shadow of the gravekeeper's small courtyard.
"Alright, you all be alert from now on. This graveyard is not our yamen!"
"Yes!"
"Understood!"
The last slightly sturdy gravekeeper said in a low voice, making the other two tremble.
This gravekeeper, although wearing ragged clothes and having dirt on his face, had a voice that was clearly the voice of Silver-badge Divine Catcher Bai Yuanlong. ===== CHAPTER 46 =====
