Chapter 1 I am waiting for you at the end of my life
Yincheng, midsummer.
The dazzling sun hung high in the sky, as if it was about to steam half a drop of water on the ground.
Those who have air conditioning can blow the air conditioner comfortably, and those who don't can only stretch their tongues as much as possible, and don't sacrifice themselves in this intoxicating heat.
The asphalt road was sunburned and faintly shadowed, and the smell of burnt asphalt could be felt from afar.
On the gray street corner, a small black dot like a dead dog slowly appeared.
The little black dot walked in slowly, only to see that it was a person.
Still a woman!
The thin woman drooped her shoulders, her head was stretched without the slightest image, and she couldn't wait to fall to the ground in the next second.
Chang Qing squinted at the illusory pavement, fearing that falling to the ground would be disfigured.
So with the last bit of strength, he climbed into the face of a dilapidated little door on the side of the street, and immediately remained motionless.
In a few moments, the door was rudely pushed open, and the sound of the door slamming against the wall pierced people's ears.
The woman lying on the old wooden couch was still lying like a dead dog as if she hadn't heard.
The man kicked her hand angrily, "Wake up, eat something and go to sleep!"
Chang Qing didn't even open his eyes, and said vaguely: "Don't make noise, let me sleep for a while, I'm almost sleepy." ”
The visitor didn't follow her, and sat down on the coffee table in front of the sofa, "Where were you last night?
Chang Qing reluctantly opened a narrow slit in his eyes, pulled the pillow next to him and covered his face, and said sullenly: "Sister Sasha, Goddess Sasha, can you go and ho the others first? When I wake up, you can come and ho me again!"
"If the old lady can find someone to pass the time, will she need to find you?"
"Just don't treat me like a human being. With that, Chang Qing turned over and pointed at Li Sha behind his back.
Li Sha saw that she was really sleepy, and she didn't quarrel with her anymore and walked next door.
Chang Qing slept for nearly an hour before reluctantly getting up.
Squint into the bathroom, turn on the faucet and wash your face.
I burned my hands with hot water coming out of the faucet.
What does it have to be hot to make the water so hot on this day?
After Chang Qing washed his face, he walked next door familiarly.
Lisa had already prepared the meal, and snorted angrily when she saw her come in.
Chang Qing ran over very doggedly, hugged Li Sha's shoulders and shook them gently, "I know that Sister Sasha is the best for me." Come, let me kiss it. ”
Li Sha replied to her with a straight "Get out!"
Chang Qing was not discouraged, sat down at the small table, picked up the dishes and chopsticks and ate them.
Only then did Li Sha move her chopsticks.
After the two of them had eaten almost, Li Sha said, "Now can you tell what you were doing last night?"
"Didn't I receive a call from an eldest brother yesterday evening, his child died lying on the rails, and asked me to go with him to the railway bridge to collect the body. ”
"What's wrong with the kids now?"
Li Sha's family is also doing white things, and they know how difficult it is to clean up the corpses lying on the rails.
Shovels and bags can be used, but they may not be able to be completely collected by corpses.
A little girl was looking for a corpse in the middle of the night in the wilderness, and her scalp tingled when she thought about it.
Many people don't take this kind of work when they are older, so she is stupid, and when the other party cries, she goes with a hot brain.
"Probably because he was too young, so young that he didn't know what death was, and he couldn't think about it for a while, so he went to the rails. Chang Qing whispered.
I felt a pang of pity when I thought of the corpse that had been crushed into meat sauce but whose face was very well preserved.
It rained heavily last night, and the eldest brother was so anxious that he was afraid that the child's broken body would be washed away by the rain.
The two of them wanted to lie on the ground and touch everything they could, and they had to dodge the passing train at any time.
Not to mention the level of difficulty.
Seeing that she was not in a high mood, Li Sha put down her chopsticks and touched her head, coaxing like a child: "Don't be emotional about these things, what you do is this line, thinking too much will have an impact on your own life." ”
"I just sighed. Chang Qing said sullenly and continued to bury his head in the rice.
……
After eating, Chang Qing consciously went to wash the dishes.
After brushing, she crawled back to her small house with her hands and feet and began to take a shower to catch up on sleep.
I don't know how long I slept, but Chang Qing was awakened by a piercing whistle.
She got up in a daze, opened the curtains and looked out, only to see a lot of police cars dispatched.
She said silently in her heart: "I hope no one dies." ”
After reading it a few times, she withdrew her gaze and prepared to go downstairs to find Lisha.
As soon as she didn't go downstairs, she heard her landline ringing.
Chang Qing hurriedly rolled downstairs to answer the phone, "Hello, Chang Jiabai, can I help you with anything?"
"Xiaoqing, I'm Uncle Li. A few days ago, the office received a case, and an elderly person who lived alone and had no family to come to pick her up, and I would like to ask you to come and bury her. ”
"Okay. Is it in the office or in the hospital?"
"In the house. ”
"Am I the past now, or is it some other time?"
"If it's convenient for you, please come right away. It was too hot and I was worried that I wouldn't be able to let it go. ”
"Okay. I'll clean up and go over. ”
"Thank you. ”
Chang Qing put down the phone, sat on the chair and woke up for a while, took a box and put it on the electric car, and drove to the police station on the street.
Lisa rolled her eyes when she heard the sound of the door closing next door.
The fool is running out of oil and water again.
**
When Chang Qing arrived at the office, it was close to the end of work.
The office is still very busy, as if something is important.
After registering with the doorman in detail, she drove in the small tram and found Lao Li in a row of small bungalows.
Lao Li smiled: "It's too rare to be willing to take on this kind of work now." ”
Big is a common saying they call the mortuary, most people know it, but they don't know what the mortuary is.
Chang Qing also chuckled, "It's not easy for everyone. Where is the old man?"
"Follow me. ”
Lao Li pushed open the wooden door behind him, and there were several corpses covered with white cloths inside, I don't know if it was the death caused by the noise just now, and some of the white cloths were stained with blood.
Chang Qing retracted his gaze and followed Lao Li's footsteps to stop in front of the innermost plank bed.
Lao Li pointed to the body covered by the white cloth and said, "This is it." You help her clean up decently, and don't embarrass her in matters of life and death. ”
"I will. Uncle Li, you can ask someone from the funeral home to pick you up. ”
"I'll notify the funeral home after hanging up your phone, you're busy. After Lao Li finished speaking, he went out.
Chang Qing put down the box in his hand, folded his hands, and bowed solemnly to the deceased on the board bed before lifting the white cloth and starting to work.
There are a lot of corpse spots on the face of the deceased, but it can be seen that the skin and hair are usually well maintained, and there are traces of maintenance on the skin and hair.
There are not many calluses on the hands and feet, and the skin is white.
If you can maintain such a state when you are old, it means that your material life is good.
Unexpectedly, after her death, no one would give her a ride.
Chang Qing didn't let himself think too much, he restrained his mind and concentrated on cleaning the old man, and even the shroud was worn under the white cloth, without exposing the old man's skin.
After finishing up, it was already more than an hour later.
When she looked up again, she was bumped into a pair of obsidian-like eyes.
On this special occasion, she met a pair of eyes coldly, and her soul was almost frightened.
The owner of those eyes smiled lightly, "So cowardly, I thought you were quite bold." ”
Chang Qing looked at his uniform and said, "I was too attentive to pay attention to any movement." ”
"I just saw that you were too serious to look at you curiously, but I didn't expect you to find out after I looked at you for five minutes. ”
Chang Qing: "......"
Are you sure it's okay to be so idle?
The man smiled: "Introduce yourself, my name is Lu Mingzhan." What about you?"
"Evergreen. ”
"The evergreen of an evergreen?"
"yes. ”
"Your parents are really perfunctory in naming you. ”
Chang Qing paused for a moment and replied, "Your parents are really serious about naming you." ”
