Chapter 5: The Ghost Fetus (I)

For as long as I can remember, I've had very horrible and weird dreams every few months, and in my dreams I seemed to be looking down on everyone from God's point of view.

In the dream, it was an eerie wood, there was no moon in the sky, it was gloomy, the trees in the forest had no leaves, they were all black branches, and flocks of crows were flying in the sky.

The sound of suona sounded in the depths of the woods, the sound was getting closer and closer, and slowly out of the depths of the woods, a few people wearing red clothes and carrying the coffin and blowing suona, with big red flowers tied around their waists, the coffins carried by several people did not seem to be of a regular size, much wider than the coffins in my memory, and everyone's faces were expressionless and pale, like paper figures used in funerals.

The person in the front rode a tall horse, dressed in clothes similar to those of the Republic of China, wore a top hat on his head, and carried a bright box cannon around his waist.

In the dream, the camera slowly shifted to the face of the man on horseback, who looked exactly like me, and although the man did not speak, I could feel that he was very happy.

I followed the team from the perspective of my dream, and I don't know how long, the team walked out of the woods and came to a place that looked like a temple.

The man who looked like me reached out and pushed the door but didn't push it open, the man stretched out his foot and kicked the door, and the door opened, and in the middle of the room hung a young girl in red clothes, and a chair lay on the ground.

The man walked over, picked up the chair and stepped on it himself to untie the woman from the rope and hold it in his arms, the woman seemed to have no weight in the man's arms and looked light, the man carried the woman out of the room that looked like a temple, and the person wearing the red clothes carrying the coffin outside the house had already put the coffin down, and the coffin lid was also opened, and several people in red clothes stood in place expressionlessly.

The man gently put the woman into the coffin, and after putting the woman away, he touched the woman's face lovingly, and then the man also stepped into the coffin, lay down side by side with the woman, took out the box cannon from his waist and shot himself in the temple......

Normally, I wake up when I dream here, and now I don't have any fear in this dream, just like a horror movie that I have watched countless times.

I'm thinking more about what this dream means to me, or what it wants to express to me, I have always thought that this dream is not a simple nightmare, I have not mentioned this dream to others, including my parents, I have never met a girl who looks similar to a hanged woman in reality, I believe that there is definitely such a girl in the world, and I believe that I will meet her

The next day after the old lady was cremated, Brother Jiu personally came to the store to settle the bill, and after chatting with my mother and us in the store, he called me outside, took out a wad of money from his bag and stuffed it to me secretly, telling me not to tell my mother, let me save it myself.

Without waiting for me to speak, Brother Nine got into the car and drove away, I returned to the store, my mother was ordering, and asked me if I was tired of having a cat with Brother Jiu without raising her head.

I smiled and threw the 10,000 yuan that Brother Jiu just stuffed into me on the counter, my mother glanced at the money on the counter and asked me what was going on, I told my mother lightly about the haunting of the bereaved family, my mother put the money away and said to me that Zheng Sange is not a good person, let me not get too close to him.

Judging from my mother's tone, she didn't like to see Zheng Sange, I asked my mother why she said she was not a good person, my mother waved her hand at me angrily and said don't ask so much, anyway, just remember that he is not a good person, and after saying that, ignore me and continue to order.

My mother is not a person who likes to talk about other people's rights and wrongs, in my impression, once my mother thinks that a person is not good, then there must be something really wrong with this person, but my impression of Zheng Sange is really good, and it may be that I have a glimmer of hope for this person, thinking that this person can use his supernatural powers to help me find out about my father, and even I think Zheng Sange knows more or less about my father.

After the old lady's incident, life returned to its former peace, business in the store was as usual, and my cousin came to the store from time to time to help, and by the way, he showed off to me his recent achievements in Momo.

One afternoon I was in the store with my cousin, I was bored looking at the novel on my phone, my cousin dozed off on the chaise longue on the side, I suddenly remembered Zheng Sange, and my curiosity drove me to find Zheng Sange's somewhat spoofed business card, and called him according to the phone number on the business card.

The phone was quickly connected, and there was a noise inside, it seemed that Zheng Sange was playing with Zakin Flower, and after asking me who I was, I asked me twice about something, I said I wanted to talk about my father, and as soon as I finished speaking, Zheng Sange took the phone and scolded others

"Don't touch my cards"

After saying that, he said to me a little impatiently

"I've got something going on right now, you can come to the crematorium in an hour."

When I hung up the phone and went back to the store, my cousin was already asleep, and I was looking forward to seeing each other in an hour.

I lit a cigarette, my cousin opened his eyes and looked at me, and then he closed his eyes and fell asleep, and finally survived for an hour, I told my cousin to let him look at the store, I went out to do some business, and then took a taxi and went straight to the crematorium.

The crematorium is in the suburbs of our city, some distance from the store, I took a taxi and the driver said that I was going to the crematorium, and the driver said that he would add 1 yuan to ask for good luck.

I said no problem.

The driver asked me what I was going to do at the crematorium.

I said to do something.

The driver didn't talk to me much anymore when he saw that I was preoccupied, I thought a lot along the way, about myself, and about my dad, I thought all the way, my brain was messed up, and after I got to the crematorium, I gave the driver an extra dollar and the driver asked me if I needed to wait for me here, it was not too easy to take a taxi here, I waved at him and let him go.

I walked to the communication room of the crematorium and asked where Zheng Sange was, and the old man in the communication room looked me up and down a few times with glasses, and pointed to a low bungalow in the courtyard of the crematorium, asking me to look there to see if it was there.

I thanked the old man in the communication room and walked towards the low bungalow, and halfway through, I heard a burst of scolding from the side of the bungalow, and I could hear Zheng Sange's voice from this burst of scolding, which was the most popular among him.

I walked to the front of the bungalow and opened the door to see that the room was like a fairyland, Zheng Sange and a few men were playing cards, Zheng Sange's posture was also quite unique, with a cigarette in his mouth, smoky eyes staring at the cards in his hand, his left foot stepped on the chair, and he stepped on the ground with his foot, it seemed that everyone did not notice my arrival, everyone stared intently at the cards in their hands, and suddenly Zheng Sange put down the cards in his hand with a smile, picked up the money on the table, and pointed out 1000 yuan and threw it on the table to another skinny person

"Monkey, I'll open your cards for 1,000 yuan"

The person who called the monkey smiled and opened his hole card, Zheng Sange's face changed suddenly, and he scolded angrily

"I'm rubbing.,Today's card is really a monster.,My leopard K actually hit your leopard tip"

As soon as Zheng Sange finished speaking, he saw me standing at the door, waved his hand at me angrily, and motioned for me to go out and wait for him

"You kid is really sad, as soon as you come, my leopard K will be on the tip of the leopard"

Although I was a little aggrieved by Zheng Sange saying this, I didn't take it seriously, after all, I had something to ask him, I took out a cigarette and handed it to Zheng Sange, Zheng Sange looked at the sign printed under the cigarette holder and pinned it behind his ear, and asked me angrily

"Say, what do you want me to ask?"

"I want to ask where my dad went"

Zheng Sange took the cigarette pinned behind his ear and put it into his Hongmei cigarette case, and then took out a cigarette from his Hongmei cigarette case and said to me

"You want to find your dad to go to the police station, I can't help you when you come to me."

I couldn't react to what Zheng Sange said this, so I laughed a few times and said to him

"Third brother, you see that you really like to joke, I mean I want you to use your magic powers to help me see where my dad is now, even if it's a direction"

As soon as I finished speaking, the monkey who had won 1,000 yuan from Zheng Sange just now pushed open the door and shouted to Zheng Sange

"Third brother, there is a murder case in the Meihua community, and the police asked us to go over and carry the corpse"

After hearing the monkey, Zheng Sange waved at him and told him to prepare the car, the monkey trotted all the way away, Zheng Sange took a puff of cigarette and said to me

"Let's go, go on a trip with the third brother"

At that time, I thought that this was what I had to pay for Zheng Sange, so I agreed to him with a gritted tooth and a stomp of my foot.

Seeing that I agreed, Zheng Sange grinned at me, patted me on the shoulder, and asked me to follow, what Zheng Sange said in his mouth to accompany him to work meant to accompany him to collect the body.

Zheng Sange's corpse collection team did this, all the corpses they collected were unclaimed corpses or murdered and the murderer's body was not found, in short, it was to deal with some special corpses, Zheng Sange and their corpse collection team used to belong to the crematorium management before, and later the crematorium felt that this business was not too profitable and contracted out, and now the contractor of the corpse collection team is Zheng Sange.

Zheng Sange has a total of 5 people in their corpse collection team, monkeys, Zheng Sange counts two, and there is a fat man named Fat Bear, in fact, it stands to reason that today's corpse collection work should have nothing to do with my half a dime, last night the two people of the corpse collection team went to the dirty stall to skewer and broke their stomachs, vomiting and diarrhea, not to mention collecting corpses, the two of them even had no strength to wipe their buttocks, Zheng Sange asked me to come with me to make up the number.

Zheng Sange's car used by the corpse collection team to pull the corpse is a JAC Ruifeng bread modification, the front and back rows are separated by a stainless steel plate, there is a glass window that can be opened on the stainless steel plate, the rear seats are all removed, used to pull the corpse, there are a few small horses next to the back row, the monkey is the driver, the fat bear has been occupying the co-pilot position due to its large size, Zheng Sange and I sit on the small horse in the back row.

On the way to the corpse collection site, Zheng Sange hastily told me the taboos of collecting corpses, let me pay attention, don't commit these taboos, I summarized it, roughly the following points, you can't look directly into the eyes of the deceased, you can't call the deceased's name, you can't discuss the deceased, you can't call yourself or someone else's real name in front of the deceased, and you can talk less if you can.

The last point is that there must be no direct contact with the deceased without any quarantine.

The monkey drove fast, either speeding or braking sharply along the way, plus I felt like vomiting when I was sitting on the pony, Zheng Sange didn't feel the slightest discomfort, and he sat on the pony and whistled Teresa Teng He Rijun came again.

Zheng Sange looked at me with an uncomfortable look and smiled and opened the window on the stainless steel partition to let the monkey open slowly, I was a little unbearable in the car, the monkey looked back at me happily and said yes!

After the monkey finished speaking, the speed of the car immediately slowed down, Zheng Sange said that the monkey used to be the hospital to drive an ambulance, and felt that it was not interesting to drive an ambulance in the hospital and came to follow Zheng Sange to eat, Fat Bear used to be a male nurse in a mental hospital, and he alone could easily subdue two manic patients, and later because of the rough methods when subduing patients, he was criticized and educated by the hospital, Fat Bear was a violent temper, and he slapped the table on the spot and resigned, and later came to work in the corpse collection team after being introduced by a friend.

Zheng Sange said that everyone in the corpse collection team has some advantages, and when I see the two goods with diarrhea, he will introduce them to me again, Zheng Sange and I chatted for a while, I feel nausea much better, Zheng Sange said that he did this business not to make much money, but to accumulate yin virtue for himself.

Saying that, Zheng Sange threw me a cigarette, I took it and took a look, it was still the one I just gave him in the crematorium and he stuffed it into the cigarette box, Zheng Sange lit a cigarette and said to me

"When we finish collecting the body, I'll help you take a look at your father's affairs, declare in advance, I may not be able to find it, I can only say try"

I was immediately a little excited when I heard Zheng Sange say this, and hurriedly thanked him, Zheng Sange took a puff of cigarette and waved his hand at me and said

"You don't have to thank me, if you help me collect the body, I owe you a favor, and if I help you see things, I can pay off this favor, which is also fair."

After the monkey was finished talking by Zheng Sange, the speed of the car has been quite stable, and when I arrived in the plum blossom community, my initial nausea had disappeared, and we got out of the car after changing into disposable protective clothing and masks and gloves for the corpse collection team.

The building where the accident occurred had been cordoned off by the police, and Zheng Sange walked in the front, took off his mask and said hello to the police, and then the police put me in.

The floor where the accident occurred was the third floor, Zheng Sange didn't let us take the elevator, we walked upstairs, Zheng Sange walked in front, I followed him, the monkey walked behind me with corpse collection tools and body bags, and finally the fat bear, the fat bear scolded Zheng Sange for letting him take the stairs on a hot day, Zheng Sange turned around and said to the fat bear lightly that he was rushing with 3 criminals today, the fat bear was instantly honest, and climbed the stairs with his head down and panting.

As soon as I reached the third floor, I felt a strong smell of blood, and this was the first time in my life that I had smelled such a strong smell of blood, and it seemed to me that there was no such strong smell of blood in the slaughterhouse.

Third Brother Zheng also seemed to smell the smell of blood, and turned around to say to everyone

"Y'all give me some spirits, this thing is evil"

Zheng Sange, we walked to the house where the accident occurred, and several policemen inside took pictures and collected evidence, and there was a cordon outside the house, Zheng Sange looked around and sniffed his nose and said to a few of us

"I'm afraid more than one person died"
