Chapter 8: Grievances
But at this time, although I was panting rapidly, I still calmly finished urinating, otherwise there would be a sudden incontinence, which would be a shame for the old nose.
Although I have been embarrassed countless times in my life, I will not be scared to pee my pants.
If it's a good person, why don't you come and say hello, even if it's to be in front of the fire to keep warm, but if it's a bad person, why can't I feel it, and I don't see any danger signals from him.
Thinking of this, I walked back to the fire with a numb scalp, picked up the sapper shovel, and quietly walked towards the room.
I was afraid that I didn't bring a lamp and didn't wake up Xiaoyu, after all, he was tired for a day, so it was better to let him sleep well, even if there was an accident, he might not be able to intervene as a child.
Squatting under the window, I adjusted my breathing, slowly raised my head and showed my eyes, trying to see everything inside as clearly as possible.
There were only two people in the empty room, one lying on the floor, and the other leaning against the wall as if he was sleeping soundly. But a strange feeling came out, and if I hadn't been watching it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that there were people in the house in front of me, because the two of them didn't give me any animatic looks, like dead people......
I swallowed hard at the thought of the word, but it seemed to explain why I couldn't feel them there.
Let such a stimulus make me sleepy and sit in the snow against the wall and pick up my hair one by one.
"What to do, what to do!!"
I kept repeating this sentence in my mouth, and my head kept rejecting the feasible solutions, until a very tired yawn came from inside, and I woke up and ran to the corner.
Then I saw a young man with half-squinted eyes, looking sloppy and sloppy, yawning in a daze, walking towards me, my eyes widened and waiting for an opportunity, ready to give him a "slap in the face" at any time, no, a "shovel drink". But as he got closer and closer, I wondered why I still couldn't feel a little popularity from him, and was he really ......
I didn't dare to continue to think about it, I absolutely preemptively struck, grabbed the handle of the sapper shovel in my hand, carefully aimed at the timing, and said that I would give you a shovel first, regardless of whether you were a human or a ghost. But what really prompted me to shoot was not the fear, but the fact that this grandson actually unbuttoned my trouser belt at me, which was a naked insult, I stood up and shouted: "I'll fuck your uncle!" ”
A few minutes after a scream.
The fire was lit again, and the cry just now only made Xiaoyu skim the corner of his eye and continue to fall asleep, I thought that this child's heart was too big, so I immediately made amends to the brother in front of me, who was about the same age as me.
This guy rubbed his blood-stained head with one hand, and stared down at the trouser legs that were still dripping with urine without tears, obviously the embarrassed look had surpassed the pain, but I really didn't use much strength just now, otherwise he would definitely faint on the spot and have a concussion. My apologies were really big, and I didn't know what to say, so I had to take out a new pair of pants from my bag and hand it to him.
This guy waved his hand and rejected me, and then said to me with a flushed face: "Lao Tzu is not afraid of heaven and earth, but he is afraid that others will suddenly scare me!" It's going to take me a few days to get over your scare. ”
I said, "No, I'm scared enough by you, who let you sneak up to us in the middle of the night and don't say hello, I thought you were a ghost, so I didn't hold back." ”
He said, "Don't mention that word when I'm working, it's unlucky!" ”
I asked, "Speaking of which, I want to ask, what the hell are you doing, running around outside in the middle of the night!" ”
Hearing me ask this question, this guy looked at me squarely, and then lifted his leg to a pile of bricks, looking at this position as if he wanted to better bake his pants, I also took advantage of the situation to fill a firewood, buddy looked at me and said, "Is there any smoke?" ”
I was embarrassed to light the cigarette before sending it to him, this kind of shame of peeing pants in front of others may not have been in ordinary people's lives, of course I am full of apologies, but I saw that he took a deep breath of cigarette and did not look a little annoyed, no matter what he said, he didn't blame me for not being able to dwell on this problem anymore, I also lit a cigarette and asked the topic: "Why don't you call the buddy inside to come over to roast the fire, I still have a sleeping bag for him to sleep in." ”
The buddy shook his head: "No, he's not afraid of the cold!" ”
I said, "It's not good to lie on the ground, call over and bake the fire!" ”
He said, "He's colder than the ground, and he's a fart fire." ”
Listening to his lukewarm attitude, I feel that I can't talk anymore, a cigarette is gone, but I don't have any sleep, I can only spend it here.
The silent night, the awkward atmosphere, in the face of this guy's terrible silence, I stared at him inexplicably, I don't know what's going on, I suddenly felt that the person in front of me didn't exude a little anger, thinking of this, my hand actually touched him involuntarily.
With a 'snap', he slapped me the hand, and I came back to my senses and smiled awkwardly at him.
He shook his head and sighed, then asked me for a cigarette and said to me, "I'm a corpse bearer, and I often deal with dead people, so it's normal that I don't have any popularity!" ”
When he said this, I knew what it was like to be hit by someone in a martial arts novel, and when I came back to my senses, my cigarette had been half burned by a lighter, and that buddy seemed to have seen too much of my consternation, and he didn't care.
I swallowed hard, pointed to the room where there was still a person lying with a trembling hand, and asked, "What do you mean that person ......is?"
The buddy nodded, spit out his eyes slightly, and continued: "Touch me today to count your back!" ”
I waved my hand and replied, "It's okay, my bad luck is beyond your imagination, and your little bad luck won't have a big effect on me!" ”
Speaking of the word bad luck, I felt that I had said too much, so I began to apologize again, and then asked him: "What age is it now, why is there still a profession like yours, it is not more convenient to be cremated directly, and then the ashes are taken away by car!" ”
My buddy glanced at me contemptuously and said, "Wait until you see the corpse chasers in Xiangxi asking why they exist!" ”
Listening to this tone, I can't see that this guy is quite arrogant, but it's not difficult to understand that the courage to dare to do this job must not be beyond ordinary people, and it is normal for some talents to be arrogant. But this kind of person is something I admire very much, and I am humbled when I think of it, and I plan to ask him what it is that makes him so bold to do this.
"There's a lot of money, you don't need to ask!"
His answer was simple, so simple that it made me ashamed, I said, "I thought that your 'high-risk industries' were hereditary." ”
He looked at me disdainfully and replied, "Nonsense, if you had a son, would you let him do this!" ”
Embarrassed again, I had to continue to ask him: "Aren't you afraid?" ”
He said: "What are you afraid of, I have been doing this business for five or six years, and now I am most afraid of suddenly scaring me, especially when I go to work, I can't see anything else. My master took me to sleep in the cemetery for the first night, the morgue for the second night, and the crematorium for the third night, and the first thing I taught me was not to be afraid of ghosts. ”
I swallowed hard and asked cautiously, "Are there any ghosts in that world?" ”
He shook his head and said, "How do I know, I haven't seen it again!" ”
I said, "That's probably not the case, so I'm much more sure!" ”
He shook his head again and said: "That's not necessarily, although I haven't been in direct contact with them, but often walk by the river without getting your shoes wet, walking more at night will always encounter something abnormal, take tonight as an example, originally put on the usual according to my normal physical strength, I can carry a person of more than 100 pounds on my back for a night, but I don't know what's going on, just when I'm about to get here, I feel more and more sleepy for some reason, and the person on my back is getting heavier and heavier, until I enter this factory I feel like there is a hill lying behind me, But when I put him down, I felt that he had returned to his normal weight! ”
It seems that I can't sleep tonight, and I kind of understand that his bad luck really doesn't affect me, because there will always be more unlucky things to find me. When he said this, before I could continue to react, I saw him look at me and said strangely: "Why is your face so white, it can't be frightened, no, don't worry, he will definitely die!" ”
I gritted my back molars and said, "I wish he was alive!" ”
Seeing me like this, my buddy also turned his head to look at the room, then sighed and continued: "Actually, he is also a poor man, he went out to work at a young age, and I heard that he called an unclean lady who was infected with a flower willow disease, and died in the rental house for a week before people found out, and after the forensic examination results, he didn't even accept the local crematorium, saying that it was not in accordance with the regulations." Fart, just for fear of infection, so I twisted a few times to come to me. There are many ways to live, and there are even more strange ways to die, but as long as anyone can come to me, they will definitely not be able to escape from two words: grievance! ”
When he finished saying this, I lit three more cigarettes, one for him, one for myself, and walked to the door of the house with the remaining one in my hand, inserted it into the snow and said to the inner room: "Brother, meet in Pingshui, I respect you for a cigarette, although I heard what happened to you just now that you feel worthless, but don't spread your resentment on the living, if there is anything unhappy, your revenge should be God, I have a bad relationship with that old man, go over there and look at the love of this cigarette for me to greet his whole family!" ”
