Chapter 3: The Female Corpse in a Wedding Dress

I lay on the bed and couldn't fall asleep and clicked on Ms. Wang's circle of friends again to look at it, this time I mainly looked at the photos of her daughter, her daughter's age is about the same age as me, that is, twenty-one or twelve years old, Zhang is very beautiful, she permed a wavy hair and dyed burgundy red, it looks very foreign, her eyebrows are very thin, and curved like willow leaves, it looks particularly good, her eyes are very big and round, like two jewels set under her eyebrows, high nose bridge and pointed noseWhen Yin Tao laughed, the corners of her mouth rose slightly to reveal her white teeth, and there were two shallow pear dimples hanging on her fair face, which was very charming, and her appearance was completely in line with the image of the goddess in my mind, both cute and beautiful.

"Alas, it's a pity, I died at a young age, if I were to be my girlfriend, I would be able to envy the three brothers in our dormitory," I said to myself with a sigh as I looked at the photo on WeChat.

Then I pulled down a little and continued to look at Ms. Wang's circle of friends, this Ms. Wang's actual age is about forty-three or fourteen years old, she is very similar to her daughter, and this Ms. Wang is also very good at maintenance, her appearance on the photo is also like a thirty-one or twelve-year-old young woman and her actual age does not match at all, today I was even more surprised to see her in person, to say that she and her daughter are sisters is not an exaggeration.

Looking at it, I fell asleep unconsciously, until about four o'clock in the morning, my phone suddenly rang, I picked up the phone I put next to the pillow and looked at it, and it was Ms. Wang who called.

"Hey, what's the matter?" I asked, rubbing my wistful eyes, into the phone.

"I'm just calling to remind you to come to me at five o'clock." The reason why Ms. Wang called to remind me was that she was afraid that I would wake up late, and in her heart, she thought that young people of my generation were lazy and had no sense of time.

"Well, I'll get up and clean up and go to your house now, don't worry, I'll be there before five o'clock." I said affirmatively to Ms. Wang on the other end of the phone.

"Okay." Ms. Wang answered and hung up the phone.

I got up and washed my face and walked outside, as soon as I walked out of the dormitory gate, a cold wind blew in my face, I couldn't help but hit a spirit, and I also had goosebumps on my body, thinking about carrying the corpse for a while, I was really scared in my heart.

When I walked out of the school gate, I looked at the time on my phone and it was already 4:40 in the morning, and there were less than 20 minutes left before the time I had agreed with Ms. Wang.

After about fifteen minutes, I came to Ms. Wang's community, and then I ran to their unit, and when I ran downstairs to their unit, I saw Ms. Wang wearing a black casual suit with a white flower on her chest standing downstairs and looking at the watch on her wrist, the expression on her face was a little anxious, she should be waiting for me.

"I'm not too late," I hurriedly walked up to Ms. Wang, gasping for breath, I was in a bit of a hurry just now.

"Well, come upstairs with me," Ms. Wang said to me lightly and walked me to the elevator, and I followed her with trepidation.

As soon as the two of us got out of the elevator, I smelled a strong smell of incense, and Ms. Wang led me straight to their house. Ms. Wang's home is very deserted, there is no one in the house except for a Mr. Bai Shi, it is estimated that someone will come to mourn in a while, after all, it is only five o'clock in the morning, and the sky is not yet dawn.

"Young man, you sign your name and your birth date on these two pieces of red paper," Mr. Bai Shi handed me two pieces of red paper and a brush, this Mr. Bai Shi is about sixty years old, wearing a black coat, he is thin, with thief eyebrows, rat eyes, sharp mouth, monkey cheeks, and he does not look like a good person.

"This is ......." I don't understand what this Mr. Bai Shi means by this, I remember that when my grandmother died, she didn't use red paper to ask the bearer to write her name and birth date on it.

"You just have to do what the gentleman says," Ms. Wang said coldly at me.

"Oh," I nodded, picked up the brush, and wrote my name and birth date on the two pieces of red paper, and then handed it to the white man, taking people's money and looking at people's faces, this Ms. Wang asked me to do what I had to do.

"It's time to cleanse yourself," Mr. Hakushi said, taking the red paper, and continuing to me.

"What's that, what's clean," I asked, horrified, as the cold sweat on my head came out, and I felt a cool breeze blowing under my crotch.

"You go to the bathroom and take a shower, and then change into this outfit," Ms. Wang said, taking a white suit and a white shirt and handing it to me.

"Okay" I took the clothes from the beautiful young woman's hand and walked to the bathroom of their house, the purification that Mr. Bai Shi said just now really scared me, I thought they were going to castrate me, if that's the case, I can't do this job for a million.

I took a simple shower and then changed the white suit and shirt on my body, not to mention, the clothes I bought from Ms. Wang were just right for me to wear, neither big nor small. When I walked out of the bathroom, Ms. Wang first looked at me, then nodded her head slightly to express satisfaction.

"The pair of white leather shoes on the ground are also for you, and you can change them into socks in the shoes, and this." After saying this, Ms. Wang handed me a pair of white gloves.

"I see." I nodded in response, and then I changed my socks and shoes as Ms. Wang said.

When I was ready, the lady Wang walked up to me and helped me straighten my clothes, while she took out a black bow tie from her pocket and tied it around my neck.

"Not bad." Ms. Wang took a step back and looked at me and said, I looked down at my dress, which is really good, I look like I am going to a banquet in this dress, although I look very handsome when I wear this dress, but it also makes me feel very awkward in my heart, I can't tell what it feels like.

"I'll take you to see my daughter first!" When she pushed open the door of her daughter's bedroom, I felt a gust of wind blowing from inside the house, it was originally summer, but there was a chill in this bedroom, I couldn't help but shiver, I saw four air conditioners hanging on the wall of this room blowing cold wind, it is estimated that Ms. Wang was afraid that her daughter's body would swell and rot in this summer, so she pressed so many air conditioners.

Our rules here are that the dead have to be put at home for three days, fortunately the corpse can be placed in winter, but it is not easy to place it in summer, the corpse will quickly swell and decay when it is hot, and the family of the deceased will rent an ice coffin to place the corpse, and this Ms. Wang is afraid that her daughter will be uncomfortable lying in the ice coffin, so she installed four air conditioners in the house to prevent her daughter's body from swelling and rotting, which makes me very touched in my heart, I envy this girl will have a mother who loves her so much, and I am like an orphan nowI've never taken a picture with my parents when I'm so old......

As I approached Ms. Wang's daughter's bedside, I saw Ms. Wang's daughter lying peacefully on the bed, with two lit white candles on her bedside table, and five offering bowls containing tofu, vermicelli, poached eggs, crucian carp, and lettuce. On either side of the five bowls are two white-flour steamed bun offerings. The girl's pale face kept a smiling expression, this girl didn't look like she had died, she looked as if she was sleeping quietly, and I sighed in my heart what a pity.

Looking at this beautiful girl, I always feel that something is wrong, generally the clothes worn by dead people are plain, either black or gray, and then white, I have never seen anyone whose family died wearing red clothes when they were so old.

This beautiful girl's hair is coiled, with red lips, the red wedding dress she wears is a bit of a Republic of China style, the wide sleeves of the red wedding dress are embroidered with two phoenixes with gold thread, and she has a pair of red embroidered flower shoes on her feet, embroidered with a mandarin duck respectively, together it is a pair, looking at this girl my body trembled slightly, I don't know if I am afraid or cold now, but my heart is afraid.

"Don't think too much about it, my daughter had a habit of cleanliness when she was alive, and she would never allow anyone else to touch her casually, especially men, so I asked you to take a shower and wear such clothes to give her her one last ride," Ms. Wang explained to me.

"Oh" I nodded understandingly, but I still felt a little awkward in my heart, but I couldn't tell what was awkward.

"Can you help me put this ring on the ring finger of my daughter's right hand?" Ms. Wang took out a diamond ring from her pocket and handed it to me.

"Yes" I took the diamond ring in Ms. Wang's hand and walked to the girl's bed, when I got closer and closer to this girl, my heart began to beat up, I now feel an inexplicable nervousness and fear, when my grandmother died, I stood beside her and never felt this way, but I felt that my grandmother lying quietly in the coffin was very kind.

When I touched the girl's right hand, I felt as if my hand was touching the ice, this beautiful girl's hand was cold, I gently lifted the girl's right hand with my left hand, and then I put the ring on her ring finger, and then I gently put the girl's hand next to her.
