Chapter 13: Goodbye Mom

Sam Bao looked at the cabinet number where the embalming room stored the woman's body, a white No. 10 with silver edges. This is the last place where the woman's body is stored. For some reason, San Bao always remembered the piercing 100,000 shouted by the deceased's sister and husband just now.

100,000, 100,000, 100,000...... Sambo's mind kept repeating this number, which symbolized the perfect 10, but now it became a great irony. Just because of 100,000 yuan, let the deceased stay in this cold and dark frozen compartment for 30 days, if her soul did not dissipate, would she be resentful and resentful that her sister prevented her soul from returning to her dream because of the 100,000 yuan demolition compensation; resented her husband because of 100,000 and her sister; Resentment of this warm and cold world, can not be as you wish, benevolent love others.

The master had already put on his work apron at the moment, and he seemed to see Sanbao's thoughts, so he quietly took out the heavy makeup kit and pushed it in front of Sanbao.

"Today, you're here to put makeup on the deceased. I'll give you a hand. Master Lu told Sam Bao unhurriedly.

Sanbao came back to his senses from the deep thought just now, he looked at the master, saw An Ran's encouragement, and also saw the unquestionable supervision. Sam Bao suddenly understood the words in the master's eyes at this moment, and he raised his head and looked at the woman in front of him who had completed the dehydration process and was waiting to say goodbye to makeup.

Compared with the psychological shock brought to the makeup artists by the tragic human stump, this intact body will affect the mood and mood of the makeup artist. Because they are so real, even without makeup, it seems as if they are asleep, maybe it is just because of fatigue that causes dull skin and a slight blood. This creates a strange sense of unreality, where the brain knows that it is a lifeless corpse, but the mind produces some kind of false hallucination, perhaps a passerby who has gone to the wrong room and rested for a while. Sambo really wanted to wake up this cold body, she might just be asleep, she was too tired.

After Sam Bao and the master bowed to the deceased three times, they began to enter the makeup session. He opened the toolbox, which was neatly and orderly placed with oil paint, lipstick, powder, blush and other essential makeup tools. Sambo saw that the body of the body might have been in some kind of unnatural tension because it had just thawed, which had never happened before. Sam Bao understood that only when the body was in a natural relaxed state, the makeup on the painting would look natural and real, so Sam Bao wanted to straighten the body, he gently supported the legs of the body, and moved to the center of the workbench, but was surprised to find that the body that had been thawed had become extremely stiff at the moment, and Sam Bao tried to straighten the waist of the body, and found that the muscles of the deceased were like taut springs and could not be relaxed. And at some point, her hands changed from a natural stretch to a clenched fist, and her facial features also showed a state of contraction, at a glance, you would think that this woman was stiff and tightened because of some unknown pain.

Master Lu next to him also saw this situation. "Not good," he shouted inwardly, but he remained calm. The master and apprentice looked at each other for a short time, and it was the first time that Sanbao had encountered this situation, and in the eyes of others, this was obviously a "fraudulent corpse". While there is no sudden resurrection of corpses as in ghost novels, this terrifying anti-science phenomenon still scares enough for the first time in contact with a living person.

Sambo is not mortal, he is not afraid. Several solutions flashed through his mind, but they were all rejected by himself. In this case, it must not be brutally operated, and any part of the deceased cannot be forced, otherwise it is likely to be misplaced or disconnected. Sanbao was sure that this was not a fraud, but it was also a work problem that he had never encountered, and just when he hesitated, the master next to him spoke.

"Sambo, I'm waiting here, you go and call the deceased's family." Master Lu said softly.

"Three?"

"Her husband...... Don't ......," the master hesitated for a moment. "Call her daughter, to her daughter," Master Lu finally affirmed.

"Okay, let's go." Sambo took off his work apron, straightened his collar and hem, and walked outside.

At this moment, the hall was unusually quiet, compared to the noisy and noisy time just now, it was like two heavens of ice and fire. The husband and sister of the deceased were far apart, and neither cared about anyone. The deceased's husband played with the mobile phone in his hand, while the deceased's sister turned the bank card in her hand, but never put the card in her bag. Only the emaciated girl, still sitting on the stool, in her original position, her tears drained, her eyes slightly open, immersed in some kind of memory and longing.

"Excuse me." San Bao bent down slightly and said softly.

The girl looked up, her eyes still damp, and she looked at Sambo, and the look in her eyes made people feel extremely fragile and vulnerable.

"I'm going to have to trouble you to come over, I need your help."

The girl was a little incredulous, she got up in confusion and followed Sambo. The girl's father and aunt just looked over this side and thought it wasn't a big deal, so they continued the little game in front of them.

Master Lu stood outside the door of the embalming room and watched Sam Bao and the girl walk in front of him.

"We're putting on your mom's makeup here, but she's a little nervous, her muscles are too tight, I hope you can tell mom, I hope she's relaxed, okay, please." Master Lu is like an introverted and well-behaved child at the moment, and he whispers to the girl, lest the girl have any psychological burden.

The girl bit her lip and nodded.

"Okay, please come with us."

It was the first time the girl had entered such a strange and oppressive work environment, and her eyes unconsciously scanned the room, but soon her eyes fell on her mother. Sambo could clearly hear the girl's low throat choking, and she was trying to control her emotions and not let the tears fall. She grabbed her mother's clenched fist, leaned down, her lips almost to her mother's ear, and called softly.

"Mom...... Mom...... It's me, Reiko, your daughter. Mom, I'm telling you, you've actually ...... Passed away. Mom, you have to relax all over your body now, and soften it a little bit, as if you were asleep. Let the makeup artist paint you beautifully, and then our family will send you away. Okay, Mom. Obedient ......," the girl murmured, and warm tears fell on her mother's face one by one.

An incredible scene happened, and if it wasn't for seeing it with your own eyes, even the Three Jewels who could psychic wouldn't believe it. When the daughter finished these words, the body, which could not be wrenched no matter how she wrenched, suddenly became as if she was asleep, and her body became soft. Sam Bao found that his eyes suddenly moistened for some reason, he pretended to rub his eyes, quickly wiped away the tears that were about to overflow, but in the afterglow, he saw that his master also touched his own eye sockets at the same time.

Mom, what a beautiful word, what a warm world, but yin and yang are separated, and relatives can never see each other again.

Sambo stepped forward and began to put on makeup for the girl's mother. Now her face is naturally relaxed, free of worries. Maybe it was an illusion, but Sambo felt that this woman was wearing a subtle smile at the moment.

Sambo smoothed her hair to her ears, but the image of the deceased before his death suddenly appeared in his mind. A woman shivering in the cold wind at 4 a.m. rides a tricycle on her way to the vegetable market. She will feel relieved and proud when she thinks of her harvest today, her daughter was admitted to university, and for every pound of vegetables she sells, her daughter's tuition fee will be an extra piece. Even if you try your best, you have to let your daughter have a good future, thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of the woman's mouth, she encountered a slope, so she propped herself up and stepped on her feet hard.

There was a tiny amount of condensed moisture on her skin, and Sambo gently dabbled her face with a sponge. Use the softest brush to glide slightly over her cheeks. The deceased's skin was relatively yellow, and there were some dull red spots in the depths, which were the result of red blood coagulation, and she belonged to normal skin, so Sambo chose purple to isolate and gently dipped and smeared, and soon her skin appeared naturally bright and white.

Just when the woman was exerting force, she suddenly felt a tingling pain in her chest, it doesn't matter, when she is busy, she often feels this way, just rest. The woman thought so and continued to push hard. But this time the pain was different, as if an invisible hand was clutching the heart, unable to breathe, and at the same time, countless sharp thorns pierced into the flesh around the heart. The woman's eyes were round, but she was about to reach the top of the slope, no matter how hard she tried, the price of the vegetables was still good recently, and a cart of vegetables was sold at a good price, and my daughter's tuition was enough. Then came a feeling of lightness, she felt her body slowly soaring, as if it was slowly falling downward, her head touching the cold concrete pavement, her side face and the tip of her nose hitting the ground hard, and the front wheels of the tricycle running over her head. The woman felt as if she was lying on her own bed, and in her last sight, the cart of vegetables was slowly sliding down the slope, followed by the vegetable vendors who avoided and cursed. The woman wanted to get up, but she felt like she was sinking into the darkness that was coming. People gathered in front of her already cold body, but no one dared to come forward to help, she was tired to death, and she also died for duty.

Sambo carefully covered the damaged area with dramatic oil paint to make the skin look intact, and he noticed that the woman's eyes were really closed to look like a curved crescent, and if they were opened, they would be beautiful big eyes. Sambo applied a subtle jewel-colored eyeshadow under the woman's eyebrows to increase the brightness of the eyebrows and eye sockets, and gently swabbed it with a cotton swab to give it a hazy effect for a more natural look.

While Sam Bao was putting on makeup, the deceased's daughter and Master Lu watched quietly, as if time had ceased to exist. There was only a slight grinding sound from the tool in Sambo's hand.

Whew......

Sambo finished her makeup routine, took half a step back, and bowed slightly to her goodbye. When the girl saw that her mother had become beautiful and charming again, she came forward with a smile, and her face no longer had the sad and decisive look she had before.

"Mom, you're really beautiful today...... Go with peace of mind. After the girl said this, she kissed her mother's forehead affectionately, just as her mother did to herself when she was a child.
