Chapter 26: Secrets

After scrubbing my body and dressing the old man, I began to put on my makeup.

In fact, makeup for the dead is no different from makeup for the living. It's nothing more than a thick foundation that hides the pale cheeks of a dead man. There is also the emphasis on the eyebrows, which makes the dead look more alive!

Of course, chemical power is also very important, so you can't just scribble on the face of a dead person with a paintbrush, right?

Gradually, an hour passed, looking at the ruddy old man lying on the body dressing table, as if he was sleeping, I breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the door of the body dressing room, lit a cigarette and smoked.

A cool breeze hit me, and I couldn't help but shiver. In late autumn, the weather is much cooler again.

I took a deep puff of my cigarette and looked up at the stars in the sky. In a trance, my thoughts couldn't help but fly to the year when I first came to the funeral home. At that time, I was only an apprentice, and I was afraid to die.

I remember burying the first corpse with makeup, but the master directly locked me in the body dressing room. In order to strengthen his courage, he also threw me a bottle of Erguotou.

It's just that I'm just in touch with the corpse, how can a bottle of two pots be of any use. That night, I passed in terror and crying wolf, and I also finished the first corpse in my life......

Back in the dressing room, I saw that it was still early, and I was ready to bury the second corpse with makeup.

It's just that just as I was about to cover the old lady with a corpse cloth, I suddenly noticed that she showed a smile!

My hands trembled, and the corpse cloth slipped directly from my hands! The sliding corpse cloth also completely covered her face!

I stayed where I was, not daring to move. I can't believe if I've been dazzled just now, how can a dead man smile?

But I did see her smile at me, and the only thing that made me feel less scared was that she didn't open her eyes, she just pulled a smile at the corner of her mouth!

At this time, I was so scared that I didn't dare to gasp! I wanted to uncover the fallen corpse cloth and see if she was laughing, but my mind flew around, and in the end I didn't dare to do it!

I lit a cigarette and took a deep breath to relieve the stress in my heart. But for some reason, as the cigarette burned, the fear in my heart deepened.

I froze in place, my mind racing, wondering why I was so timid tonight.

You know, I wasn't so scared when I saw those ghosts in the ancestral tomb of the Chen family, but why now?

After the cigarette burned, I shook my head and didn't think about it again, since tonight is not suitable for work, let's go back and rest first, and wait for tomorrow.

I still remember what the master said to me at that time, he said that there are many days to work, if there is a day that is not suitable for work, go back to rest, and work again the next day!

At the time, I didn't understand what he meant. Now, it seems that I suddenly understood!

Extinguishing the cigarette butt, I went back to my dorm, washed up and went to sleep.

The funeral home was a little unnerving, except for a few insect chirps, only the sound of my breathing.

But I didn't care, this kind of day, not a day or two, from the day I entered the funeral home, I was not alone that night.

So it's not terrible to be quiet, it's scary to see the funeral home suddenly come alive at night......

Listening to the chirping of insects, I fell asleep in a daze. In a trance, I suddenly felt someone standing in front of my bed.

I reflexively opened my eyes, and in an instant, my whole body jumped up.

I just wanted to throw my fist and shout indiscriminately, but I suddenly stopped my body, and then a wave of anger surged in my heart!

Looking at this gorgeous figure in front of me, I shouted, "What are you doing? Did you know that this can scare people to death? ”

"Giggle...... "The female ghost sat at the head of my bed, smiled and stretched out her arms, "Brother is not afraid, come and hug my sister!" ”

"What the hell do you want?" I turned a blind eye to her fairy-like appearance, and said coldly.

If I hadn't known I couldn't beat her, I would have wanted to slap her!

"Don't be angry, my sister is wrong, okay!" She said with an aggrieved look on her face and moved to my side!

I looked at her vigilantly, tightened the quilt on my body and said coldly: "Talk about things!" ”

"I can't sleep."

"Ghosts still need to sleep?"

"yes, I just don't have to sleep, so I can't sleep!"

She looked at me with an aggrieved face, and I was speechless for a moment!

"And what do you want to do?" At the same time as I asked this, I felt a twelve-point spirit in my heart, I am sure that this female ghost is looking for me in the middle of the night, there is absolutely nothing good!

"Talk to me." She grinned.

"Talking to ghosts? I'm not sick, am I? ”

Seeing her eyes rolling, I directly refused: "No! ”

"You talk to me, and I'll tell you a secret." When she saw that I coldly refused, she was not annoyed, but smiled mysteriously.

"Don't listen!" I waved my hand to show no interest.

What secrets could she have? It's nothing more than secretly snooping into my heart, trying to coerce me into talking to her!

I'm not that bored yet. Since she can snoop, let her snoop, she's a ghost anyway, and no one will believe what she says.

"The secret I'm going to tell can be related to your little spirit, don't you listen?"

I was shocked, and suddenly looked up at her cheek, although she was smiling, but her eyes were extremely sincere, as if she really knew about Xiao Ling!

After a little contemplation, I said in a deep voice, "You say! ”

Anyway, I don't suffer, at most I just talk to her! As for the little spirit, I'd like to see what secret she can tell me!

"Huh? You're quite interested in this little girl, I thought you didn't want to hear it. ”

I didn't answer, and waited for her to continue. Seeing my cold expression, she snorted, "Listen! ”

I nodded and listened quietly. And her expression was a little more serious. My heart moved, did she really know some secrets?

"Remember what I told you during the day?" Her voice was fluttering, and I was slightly stunned, what did I say during the day?

Suddenly, I reacted and wondered, "You mean, tell me not to provoke Lin Qingshan?" ”

She nodded. Looking at her expression, I was a little confused, I didn't understand what she meant by this, Lin Qingshan was my boss, how could I possibly provoke him?

"What I'm saying is, let you listen to him, and don't ask about anything about that little spirit of yours!"

"What?" I stared at her dumbfounded. Now I understand, but why did she say that?

"You think your leader is just an ordinary person?" She glanced at me and sneered.

As soon as I heard this, my whole heart instantly tightened, ordinary people? It's not an ordinary person, is it still a ghost?

Seeing that I didn't understand what she was saying, she shook her head and said, "I'll tell you this." The dead fat man who beat me at that time was amazing, wasn't it? ”

I nodded, what else does this need to say?

"Did I slap the fat man to death and then run away under his hands?"

I nodded, a chill ran down my back, and I was already realizing what she was going to say!

Without waiting for her to continue, I said directly: "You mean, Lin Qingshan is also a Taoist priest?" And more powerful than a fat man? ”

"I don't know if it's a Taoist priest, but I can tell you with great certainty that I don't even dare to show my face in front of him!"

Hearing her words, my heart suddenly dawned, no wonder she cowered during the day and didn't dare to show up, it turned out that she was afraid of Lin Qingshan.

It's just that Lin Qingshan is really so powerful? So why doesn't anyone in the funeral home know?

Many memories flashed through my heart in an instant, but there was no verbal picture of Lin Qingshan's Taoism!

I shook my head, stopped thinking about it, looked up at the female ghost and said, "Even if Lin Qingshan is a Taoist priest and is very powerful, what does that have to do with Xiao Ling?" ”

Hearing me say this, she immediately looked at me like an idiot, shook her head helplessly, and said, "Do you think that your little spirit is just an ordinary person?" ”

I was shocked and said in disbelief: "Xiao Ling is just an ordinary girl, do you want to tell me that she is also a Taoist priest?" ”

I sneered, and had already made up my mind, if the female ghost in front of me told me something like Xiaoling is also a Taoist priest, then I would hide my head and sleep.

Xiaoling and I have lived together for two years, who is she, I still don't know? A soft and weak woman, you tell me that she is a Taoist priest? Really, when I'm a three-year-old?

Seeing that I was not angry or angry, she smiled and said, "I forgot that you are a human and that I am a ghost." ”

"That little spirit of yours naturally won't be a Taoist priest, otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people who want her life!"

I was shocked when I heard this, and hurriedly said, "Then what do you mean?" ”

"Could it be that in this world, except for Taoist priests, the rest are ordinary people?" As she spoke, she sighed quietly!
