Chapter 38: A Trip to the Funeral Parlor

This morning I asked Lao Wang to tell my fortune for me, wondering how long I can live?

He lit up a cigarette and said melancholy, "You can live until you die... ”

--- "Congliang's Diary"

But out of the store, to the street only to find that there is no means of transport to travel is really difficult, in the middle of the night to stop the car is more difficult, a few taxis in a row, the driver asked to go to that place, and then look at our dress, directly on the accelerator to the end, ran.

Fortunately, there is Didi for travel now, and I added dozens of yuan before a car came over.

"What are you doing over there so late?" The young man and the three of us were dressed up, and he didn't even dare to open the car door, so he asked suspiciously.

"I'm going to do an autopsy... I replied.

"I'm going to do something for his family... Lao Wang replied.

"I'm a tombstone... Lao Sha shook the shovel cutely.

The man couldn't say anything, and while unlocking the car door, he muttered, "Your division of labor is really complete." ”

"If you have this need to come to us in the future, we are professional... Lao Wang began to pull up business.

Jiangcheng's funeral parlor was originally in the east of the city, due to the needs of urban development, it was moved to the southern suburbs of the city a few years ago, and the young man who drove a hitchhiker was also the first time to go.

Finally, after asking a few passers-by, I learned that the avenue was being repaired, and I had to follow the path to get to the funeral home. After turning around again, I drove to a dirt road and found the right direction.

The young man wanted to cry without tears and said that this trip was a big loss, not only did he return empty, but he couldn't get back the fuel bill.

I was a kind-hearted person, so I transferred fifty yuan from my credit card to him, and said that's all, and if I really don't have any more money, if I want to die, you can find a place near the funeral home and bury us.

The driver can only admit that he is unlucky, and even said that if he can't receive repeat customers, he will really do it in vain.

Lao Wang said, I just calculated that if you wait for an hour today, you will be able to get a job.

The young man hurriedly asked, don't you do things, and you can also tell fortunes?

Lao Wang said: "Don't you know that you pay attention to one-stop service now?" Only a lot of art can support a family."

"Also, I'm a writer by day." The young man said proudly.

I asked him what books he had written, and he hesitated for a long time, and finally said that I actually just sat at home and squatted every day.

Nowadays, writers can't ask about their works, and I can't afford to get hurt, so I don't talk when I sit in the passenger seat, just look at the scenery nearby.

To tell the truth, after seeing the tragic scenery of the dark and windy night, it is better to fight with the driver, because the path is extremely desolate and overgrown with weeds, and you can vaguely see a few lonely graves. I think of the plot of the ghost movie I watched, and I was a little scared.

Lao Sha was very excited, and said several times that he wanted to get out of the car to pee, but Lao Wang held down and threatened: "If you pee on the car and don't dare to pee, you are also my grandson." ”

The young man smiled: "Dao Ye is really funny. Lao Wang immediately corrected the young man and said, I am a Buddhist cultivator. I don't shave my head and don't wear a robe, because the temple has a strong monopoly now, and it is difficult for a single monk to do business.

The young man resonated: "It's not easy to do any business now, I have written novels for ten years, it is better to go back to the village to feed the pigs for a year." ”

Speaking of pigs, I don't know why I think of Bajie, and I don't know if he is married to a daughter-in-law now, has he lost weight?

The place where he should have arrived finally arrived, it took half an hour more to detour, and the driver guy really didn't make any money, he said that he couldn't sleep when he went back anyway, so it was better to wait for business in front of this door, and by the way, he conceived the new novel "Funeral Home Love" that he had just thought. I said that the thing was done, and he was still in his car, but he was a cheerful person, and said that he would send it without adding money, hey, it's not easy for literary young people these days. . .

As soon as Lao Sha got out of the car, he urinated heavily on the funeral parlor signboard, he was really suffocating, and sprayed the white signboard of the funeral parlor orange and orange, but fortunately, no one saw the black light.

I just thought that no one suddenly came out of the door A woman, only to hear her exclaim: "It's really interesting for you to open an online store, come here, why do you bring a cleaner, come here at night to wash the signboard, in other words, where does the water pipe come from?" ”

I took a closer look at the masked woman I met during the day--- Bai Susu, and hurriedly explained: "I brought a buddy over to help, he was in a hurry in the car, and now he is untying his little hands." ”

"It can't be a goblin, the water is so large, the signboard is about to be washed away." She said coldly.

I hurriedly explained: "Where are so many goblins, he just came over after swimming, and the stock is large... ”

"Then please come in first... Let's talk about what we have to say. She made a gesture of please, and I found that her fingers were like green onions, tender and white, and the masked girl's paper was either extremely beautiful or ugly, and I believed that the world was beautiful, and she had to be extremely beautiful.

A few people slowly walked through the door, this new funeral home was the first time I had been here, especially in the middle of the night. However, the road surface here is clean and neat and in stark contrast to the dirt and mud road outside, each small building does not exceed three floors, each large glass window is dark brown, and the glass surface is concave, so that there can be a small piece of sunlight into the house during the day, not too dark, and fully comply with the characteristics of the deceased can not see the light, the name of each building is nothing more than Fushou Building, Cixiao Hall and so on. It is mostly a place for temporary mortuaries to worship relatives and friends, I heard Lao Wang mention that the Qingqiu family liked to place their homes around the mass graves a long time ago, in the 21st century, the mass graves are gone, and the funeral parlor has become a place for them to settle down and settle down, and they can do the trade of the dead, and it is a good place for Yin cultivation, which is really the best of both worlds.

At this time, except for the barking of dogs in the distance, it is unusually quiet, and if I want to come alone, I really don't have this bear bile. Fortunately, although the lights on this road are dim, you can still see the surrounding buildings, the lights here are much better than the university campus, when the students are dating at night, the street lights flicker, one on and one off, no need to tell ghost stories, the woman next to you will drill into your arms, the boy hugged her tightly, patted her bulging chest and comforted: "Don't be afraid, not afraid... "I haven't counted how many girls have lost their first kiss under the college lights in a year.

I was reminiscing about the girls I had kissed over the years, when suddenly there was a crisp sound of "Langdang" behind me, which scared me all over my body.

I looked back and was immediately angry, it turned out to be; Lao Sha didn't tie his trouser belt after peeing just now, and he put down the shovel and lifted his pants just now.

The old king gave me a disdainful look and passed past me.

Lao Sha also counted me down and said: "You are far worse than my senior brother Tang Seng, when the monster catches him away, he doesn't hum." ”

"Tang Seng is in "Journey to the West", he is caught by monsters every few episodes, and he is used to it, okay. If I get acquainted with goblins and goblins, I'd dare to play a live-action adventure with them, believe it or not?! I replied angrily, saying that this Lao Sha dared to contradict the store manager on the first day of work, which is not a good sign.
