Chapter 3 The Dressing Room for Remains
I really wanted to turn around and take a look, but Shen Yihuan's words made me dare not take risks, what if I turned around and saw a frightening scene?
I adjusted my stance and scanned the surroundings with my peripheral vision, but fortunately the corpse lying on the bed was still there, and it was the same as before.
I looked at his lips and saw no sign of squirming, so where did the sound come from? Could it be that I misheard?
Yang ...... Qui ......"
The strange voice sounded again, more poignant than the last, as if it was still a cry, so that it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman.
"Who? What kind of ability to stand in front of me and hide behind me!" I shouted at the top of my throat, deliberately emboldening myself, when in fact my body was trembling.
The voice fell to the ground, and there was no response, and there was silence all around, except for my frantic gasps.
"What are you shouting?"
Shen Yihuan suddenly appeared at the door and looked at me in surprise.
I hastily replied, "It's okay, just come back." ”
Shen Yihuan thoughtfully walked up to the corpse, changed into a new pair of gloves, and his gaze wandered between the corpse and me.
"Are you sure it's okay?" asked Shen Yihuan in a low voice.
I panicked, did she see something? Or did I often encounter people called by her name before, should I tell her what had just happened?
"I ......," I rubbed my hands back and forth at the base of my thighs, "someone called me by name." ”
Shen Yihuan's forehead slowly stretched, and he didn't look a trace of surprise, as if he was used to it.
After a few seconds, Shen Yihuan spoke: "It was your hallucination just now, because you smelled the smell of the corpse, which caused your brain to be dizzy, can you make sense of this?"
"Really?" I was skeptical of Shen Yihuan's words, I heard it really just now, it didn't look like an illusion at all, was she deliberately hiding something? Or was it really as he said.
"Don't be stunned, bring that box over. Shen Yihuan pointed to the plastic box in the corner, and I got up and carried it to her.
"Didn't you just tell you about it? Don't come out from behind me. ”
When she said that, I realized that I was standing behind her.
"I'm sorry, Master Shen, no, it's Shen Yihuan, I won't be next time......"
"Okay, you just came here and don't know a lot of things, you don't have to do anything these days, just watch me work, and ask me if you don't understand anything. ”
While speaking, Shen Yihuan opened the plastic box and took out some needles and threads and scrapers from it.
Shen Yihuan bowed respectfully to the body, and I followed suit when I saw this.
"Hello, I am Shen Yihuan, the makeup artist of the body, I am responsible for the makeup of your body, if there is any offense, I hope to bear with me. Shen Yihuan muttered to himself to the body as if praying.
I thought it was a little scary just now, but after listening to Shen Yihuan's prayer, I felt a little funny.
But it's understandable to think about it, when I used to put on makeup for celebrities, I would also say a few polite words before the official start, so as to save trouble when I didn't do it properly.
But celebrities are big living people, and they are very different from the current situation, and celebrities who don't serve well will be complained, so what will happen to the remains? Now I'm a little unsure, whether I should be polite to the corpse.
"My name is Yang Kui, and I'm a makeup artist who just came......"
"You're free, just watch. ”
Shen Yihuan waved his hand, picked up the tools again, and began to reshape and repair the body.
I stood aside and watched quietly, Shen Yihuan threaded the needle and thread, and carefully stitched up the scar on the neck of the body, which was very skillful, and even made me mistakenly think that Shen Yihuan would perform suturing surgery on the anesthetized patient again.
Dozens of minutes later, Shen Yihuan had finished dealing with the scar on the neck of the body, and then picked up a few bottles and cans.
Shen Yihuan stood up, shook from side to side a few times, and made a clicking sound from his spine: "Now that the trauma has been treated, the next step is to apply foundation and color to cover up the traces of stitching." ”
I flattered, "You're so good at your craft, you're almost catching up with the surgeon." ”
"Yang Kui, you remember, no matter what the deceased look like or what their identity is, you must do your best to let them leave this world with dignity. Shen Yihuan looked at me seriously.
I nodded vigorously and promised, "Don't worry, I'll do it." ”
"Hey, if he had listened to me, he wouldn't have ......," Shen Yihuan muttered, and just halfway through speaking, he swallowed the words back.
"Who is he?" I asked.
"Nothing, former colleague, later left. ”
Shen Yihuan responded perfunctorily, then bent down to apply foundation to the body, and explained to me from time to time: "After a person dies, the skin will become dark, blue and stiff, so when applying makeup, you can't follow the conventional method, you can use a little invisible glue if necessary." ”
I nodded, half of my attention listening to her, the other half focused on the deceased's face.
After Shen Yihuan's skillful hand, the originally bloody face of the deceased was a little more peaceful, not at all like a deceased person, and because of this, the fear in my heart was reduced a lot.
A few hours later, the makeup was completed, and the last step was to dress the deceased, and with the cooperation of Shen Yihuan and me, I finally put the suit on the deceased.
When it was noon, Shen Yihuan locked the door of the dressing room and led me towards the restaurant.
We met a lot of colleagues along the way, but none of us spoke, just nodded slightly.
The dining room of the funeral parlor is a few small tiled houses, and the decoration inside is very simple, but fortunately, it is spacious and bright, and it looks very comfortable.
Shen Yihuan pointed to the rice window and reminded: "Yang Kui, you will tell the master to ask for a bowl of somen noodles later." ”
I was puzzled and asked, "Why? Is it a requirement to eat noodles for the first meal at work?"
Shen Yihuan shook his head slightly, and said softly, "I hope you can eat something else." ”
I didn't speak again, and when it was my turn to eat, I directly asked the master to bring a braised fish, which was free anyway, so why not eat something good.
After finishing the meal, I took the plate to find a seat, but found that several tables in the restaurant were full, and Shen Yihuan didn't know where to go.
Just as I was in despair, a young man in a suit pointed to a corner of the restaurant, and I looked to see that there was still a table for two hidden there.
I hurriedly thanked the little brother and hurriedly moved to the small table, when there were a few laughs behind me, I didn't care, and quickened my pace, for fear that someone else would take the place.
Finally, I sat down at the small table as I wished, waved my chopsticks and ate a bite of braised fish, but as soon as the meat was in my mouth, the bloody scar on the neck of the deceased in the morning suddenly came to my mind, and then my stomach began to churn.
I swallowed the food in my mouth, after all, it was undignified to vomit in front of everyone.
But here's the problem, I can't eat the second bite of the fish, and my mind is full of bloody scars, and I can't get rid of it.
At this time, I remembered Shen Yihuan's instructions, it seems that she had long expected that I would not be able to eat meat dishes, so she let me eat vegetarian noodles.
In the end, I had to bite the bullet and ask the restaurant chef for a bowl of somen noodles.
But when I returned to my seat, I found a ragged man sitting opposite, and his pale blue overalls were dotted with large and small oil stains.
I put the somen noodles on the table and was about to pick up chopsticks to eat, but the uncle opened his mouth: "New here?"
"Yes, the first day. I put down my chopsticks and looked up at my uncle.
The uncle's face was wrinkled, grinning, revealing a mouth full of yellow teeth, and he looked like he should be about sixty years old.
The uncle smiled coldly, picked up the braised pork on his plate and put it in his mouth, chewing it while making a slippery sound, which made me feel very uncomfortable, and I couldn't help but think of the scar again.
In order to divert my attention, I simply buried my head in eating noodles, but as soon as I ate a few bites, the uncle on the other side spoke again.
"You are Shen Diao's apprentice?"
I was stunned, who is Shen Diao Chan? Could it be that Shen Yihuan is talking about Shen Yihuan, she still has such a flower name? She is actually related to Diao Chan, it seems that she should be very beautiful.
Although I spent the morning with Shen Yihuan, she never took off her mask and took off her protective clothing, thinking that she would look at her appearance during dinner, but she disappeared.
"Don't speak? Uncle put another piece of braised pork into his mouth, and chewed it.
I really couldn't stand his appearance, so I turned my eyes to the side and asked, "Shen Yihuan is Shen Diao, are you familiar with her?"
Uncle laughed, his voice was a little rough, and the meat foam in his mouth almost sprayed me in the face.
"In addition to me, there are many people who know her well. Uncle winked at me, and his words were full of meaning.
