This was not the first time that Hu Baosong had said these words to Xu Qing.
Xu Qing glanced at the spirited old man in front of him and said with a smile, "The current emperor can live to be about eighty years old. How old are you? It might be that I stop dealing with the dead and instead become a physician to treat the living. All of this is uncertain!"
Hu Baosong neither agreed nor disagreed. As Xu Qing was about to leave, Hu suddenly said, "Young Xu, don't touch those two coffins in your shop. The one with red lacquer in particular; it's a Four Seasons Coffin. Who knows what strange things are inside."
Xu Qing was suspicious and turned to scrutinize him, probing, "Old Hu, do you know something?"
"I've lived this long; what don't I know?" Hu Baosong grinned, revealing his yellow, moss-covered teeth.
