Chapter 48
I took the cigarette, lit the fire for the uncle, and grinned: "It's been a long time since I've smoked such a good cigarette, thank you, uncle." ”
I forgot where I learned a life hack, this trick is called "pretending to be a grandson", don't be unable to pull your face, we have an old saying since ancient times, saying that Hades is good, but the little ghost is difficult.
When you go to some places to do things, you will always see some very grass-roots office workers who are bigger than the emperor Lao Tzu, and they look like the boss and the second child.
What do you do at this time? Do you want to fight him? Or report him? It's not enough for you to bother. Of course, if you are a hot-blooded young man with a strong sense of justice, and there is no room for sand in your eyes, then I didn't say it.
But if you just want to be an ordinary flat-headed old man honestly, then I advise you to be low-key at this time, you have to let him find a sense of superiority in you, he must be flattered when he should be flattered, and he should be patted on the back.
Then you will find that as long as you let him find superiority in you, you can lead him away and let him do things for you.
Obviously, the janitor found a sense of superiority in me, and when he saw me, his expression softened a lot, and he took a puff of his cigarette and asked, "What do you want to inquire about?"
I hurriedly smiled all over my face, "Uncle, I want to inquire, do you still recruit doormen here?"
The doorman uncle snorted and said, "You're late, if you came a few days ago, we are indeed recruiting people here." But yesterday a young man had already applied for the job, and he had already been hired, and there was no shortage of people now. ”
"Oh~That's it~" I pretended to be disappointed and sighed.
"But~~~"
I was overjoyed, and quickly asked, as if I had a glimmer of hope, "What's wrong, uncle?"
The uncle took a puff of his cigarette, "The kid who came to apply yesterday stayed here for the night last night, and this morning he became chattering, telling me that the corpses in the morgue will move, I have been here for almost twenty years, how can I not know what he is thinking?"
The uncle took another puff of cigarette, and when I looked at it, I must have wanted me to ask him! If this is usual, you like to talk about it or not, but now you can't, don't we have a request for others? I bear it!
"Uncle, what does he think?"
When the doorman saw me like this, his face showed a satisfied expression after pretending to be successful, and he said: "What else can you think, cowardly! After staying overnight, you are so scared that you make up nonsense to bluff me, hum! I am so easy to deceive?"
I hurriedly complimented, "That's that, uncle, who are you, aren't you!"
The uncle looked at me with some surprise, "Young man, how do I feel so good talking to you? You are a talent!"
I continued to laugh and said, "Uncle, don't bury me, I'm just a little person who can't find a job, I want to come here to eat, but I didn't expect to be given a head start, you see me here-"
"Hmm-" The uncle raised his hand and glanced at his watch, muttered for a moment, and said, "It's been almost half an hour since this shift change, and that kid shouldn't be coming!"
I rolled my eyes, and suddenly I had an idea in my head, and I said to my uncle: "Hey, uncle, since that kid is so timid and has been late for work for so long, will he simply not want to come?"
Uncle frowned, "Si~~~ It's not that this is not impossible, what can I do, no one will take my shift, I won't be able to get off work! I'm still waiting to go home and pick up my grandson!"
As soon as I saw it, this uncle was already sweating in a hurry, and when the time came, he hurriedly said, "Uncle, do you think this is okay, I'll watch today's night shift for you!"
The uncle looked at me with a suspicious expression on his face, "You?"
I hurriedly said, "Hey, uncle, don't think about what kind of bad person I am! I just want to watch a night shift for you, come tomorrow morning, say a few kind words for me, won't I get this job!"
"Oh~~~~" The uncle had a sudden expression of realization on his face, and pointed at me with a smile, "I didn't expect it, you kid still has this mind! Okay! I'll help you this time!"
I couldn't help pouting in my heart, uncle, it's obvious that Lao Tzu helped you on the night shift, as if you did a lot of things for me.
Of course, I didn't show it on my face, still with a flattering smile, "Uncle, when do you think we will change shifts?"
"Right now, I'm in a hurry to get off work!" the uncle hurriedly walked to the communication room, apparently to change clothes.
I stood at the door and waited, watching my uncle change into his usual clothes and walk out of the communication room.
As soon as the uncle raised his hand and threw something at me, I quickly caught it in the air, and when I looked closely, it turned out to be a bunch of keys.
"The biggest one on this is the key to the door, you don't have to worry about the other keys, anyway, you'd better not wander around, just stay in the communication room for the night, and I'll come over tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock to change shifts with you." When the time comes, I will definitely say a few kind words to the leader for you!"
Leaving this sentence, the uncle hurriedly rode his bicycle and left, the old guy seemed to be really anxious.
It's a huge funeral home, and now I'm the only one left. I pushed open the door to the communication room and walked inside. It was simply furnished, with a wooden chair, a single bed with metal stands, a broken wooden table with an old broken TV on it, and some kettles and thermoses. Nothing else.
It's seven o'clock in the evening, it's still early, and I've even forgotten to eat dinner in a hurry, and I'm already starting to get a little hungry.
I opened my phone and ordered a yellow braised chicken, but I waited for more than an hour and didn't come, I clicked on the software and found that the merchant refused to take my order. On second thought, I'm at the funeral home right now, and who would order takeout at the funeral home at night!
There is no way, it seems that I can only spend the night hungry.
It was almost 9 o'clock, and it was completely dark outside. The area around this funeral parlor is really deserted, only on the main road on the side, a few street lamps emit not too bright light.
Feeling that the time should be almost up, I picked up the key given to me by the doorman, then picked up the flashlight on the table, pushed open the door of the communication room, and walked out.
The light outside is dim, but it's okay, I've seen the map of this funeral home in advance, so I shouldn't get lost.
I walked straight towards the building with the morgue, walked across the square directly in front of the gate, and came to the bottom of the building.
From the outside, the building looks a bit like the old dormitory building in the old school and looks solemn at night. Downstairs there was a door that was not too big, with rust on the armrest, and it was locked at the moment.
I took out the keychain that the doorman gave me, shone it with a flashlight, and found that the size of the key was a little different.
There is one of the biggest keys, and according to the doorman, this should be the key to the gate.
Then there are three medium-sized keys and some small ones left.
And there are exactly three buildings flying in the entire funeral home compound, and these three medium-sized keys correspond to the gates of these three buildings.
Looking closer, I saw that each key had a small label attached to it.
On the three medium-sized keys, there are three labels, Building 1, Building 2 and Building 3.
"Uncle, I don't know which key corresponds to which building!" I muttered, and it seemed that I could only try each of the three keys one by one.
I figured that the main building in the middle should be Building 1, so I started with Key 2.
I inserted the key into the rusty keyhole and turned it slightly, but I didn't expect it to turn all at once, and I was lucky enough to guess it.
I pushed open the door and walked into the building.
It was pitch black in the hallway, and I shone my flashlight in and saw a staircase facing the door, flanked by a long hallway.
Unexpectedly, this building not only looks a bit like a student dormitory on the outside, but also has the same structure as a student dormitory.
I stood at the intersection and looked into the corridors on either side, it was pitch black, and when I flashed with a flashlight, I saw that along the corridors were exactly the same rooms, and I couldn't tell which room was the morgue where the bodies were kept.
I found the nearest door, leaned over the window, and saw rows of bookshelves-like cabinets, each with countless small drawers, which I guessed might be the room where the urn was kept.
I went to the corridor on the other side, leaned on the door and saw that the contents were similar to the room I had just seen, and there were rows of cabinets.
"Could it be that the first floor is all the rooms for the urn? Is Taiping County on the second floor?"
I shone my flashlight on the dark staircase, and I didn't know why I was furious, but I had no choice but to climb up for the sake of the task.
I turned on the flashlight and climbed up the stairs to the second floor.
As soon as I came to the second floor, there were two iron doors facing the staircase, and I gently pushed the iron door, making a clang, but it didn't open, and it looked like it was locked.
I was about to lean on the window of the iron door and look inside, when the light suddenly turned on.
To be honest, this incident scared me, and I felt goosebumps all over my body.
But as an excellent D-class guardian, I still tried my best to comfort myself in my heart, "It's okay, it's a voice-activated light!"
After saying "this is a voice-activated light" a few times, I felt that my mood gradually stabilized. So I plucked up my courage again and leaned on the iron door to look around the room. Unexpectedly, this glance scared me so much that I lost two souls.
In the morgue, there were iron frame beds, each of which was covered with a white cloth, and under the white cloth was a humanoid silhouette, which was supposed to be covered with a corpse.
At this moment, on a bed facing the door, a corpse sat up, with the white cloth still covering its face.
This scene made my scalp tingle and the hair on the back of my head stood up.
What's going on with this Nima?
The corpse sat there silently, without any other movements. Under the cold light of the energy-saving lamps in the room, it looks so weird.
It stands to reason that I should have taken out the key, opened the iron door and went in to find out what was going on. But my survival instinct told me that I should stay outside the door and observe the situation inside.
I just leaned on the window of the iron door and looked in, and after about five minutes, the sitting corpse suddenly moved.
The position of the bed was not exactly aligned with the iron door, but slightly to the left. At this point, I saw the corpse sitting on the bed, with its head slightly turned to the right. He put his face on me.
