Chapter 219 Photographs of the deceased
When Master Cai knocked on the door again, it was a middle-aged man who opened the door. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
I saw that he was neither tall nor short, with dark skin on his face, sword eyebrows and round eyes, and very large eyes. Wearing a thin coat, he walked barefoot.
"Who are you looking for?" He looked at the door with a questioning look.
"I want to ask you, where can I find the person in your village who salvaged the body?" With a smile on his face, Master Cai hurriedly asked in a low voice.
"Let's go inside and talk!" As he spoke, he walked towards the hall first.
Master Cai took Yu Xiao and hurriedly followed behind, listening to the meaning of the words, he obviously knew where the corpse collector lived. If you can find it quickly, you can save a lot of time.
"I'm the only corpse digger in the village!"
Saying loudly, he led the two of them to sit down and poured two cups of tea.
"People like us never turn around when we speak. As long as you give the money, then you will go down to the river to fish for corpses, and you will naturally have to do a good job! ”
Looking at the two people in front of him, he pulled his pants and said.
For these employers, he knows very well that no matter how much he says, people don't dare to believe it all at once. So just be direct, if you have this heart, the employer will have to give money to go down the river.
If you don't invite him, it doesn't matter, you'll come back in the future. It's just because everyone in these ten miles and eight villages knows that few people who can go down to the river to fish for corpses have great skills.
Now he is the only one left, and if the employer really wants to recover the body, then he must be invited.
Those who were able to go down to the river to salvage the bodies either died in the river, or were forced by their families to change their careers.
"We came this time to ask Mr. to go to the river next time and salvage the bodies of a husband and wife." Secretly looking at the person in front of him, Master Cai took a sip of tea and said.
"Yes, yes, but it's been sunny lately. I don't think I'll have to wait until it rains before I can go down the river. ”
He looked at the weather outside the house, turned back and said.
Just because this sunny weather can't go down the river, there are unjust spirits watching in the water day and night.
However, even if it rains heavily, you have to burn incense first when you go down the river, worship in the river, and then burn some paper money, so as to give me a peace of mind and keep an auspicious one.
"Give me a picture of the deceased, so that I don't have to mistake the body." His eyes stared at Master Cai and said.
He had heard before that after a salvage man went down the river, he thought he had remembered the appearance of the deceased in his mind, but when he went to retrieve the body and asked the employer to confirm it, the corpse suddenly opened his eyes and startled everyone present, and it was not the body that the employer was looking for.
So he learned from it, and he got a reminder by accident. Whenever it rains heavily, when you go down to the river to fish for the corpse, you must carry the photo of the employer who wants to fish out the corpse.
Otherwise, if there is a real confusion, then this craft will be destroyed in his hands. Originally, he was the only one left, and if he lost his reputation, he wouldn't be able to live, and there would be no employer willing to invite him.
"I really haven't brought the photo with me, why don't you wait for me for a while, I'll go back and get the photo, can you see it?" As Master Cai spoke, he reached out and touched the black jar in the bag on his body.
At that time, it was promised that the ghost couple would come to Wujiang to pick up their bodies and transport them back to their hometown for burial. But for a while, I forgot to ask for a photo of the two.
This time, I wanted to rush back to Binyun City first, let the ghost couple lead the way, go to their house, and find photos of their life.
"Okay, then I'll wait for you at home!" As he spoke, he got up and left.
Walking alone into the kitchen, it looks like he is cooking on a fire.
Master Cai also followed out and stood on the courtyard dam. Seeing Yu Xiao walk to the door of the hall, he couldn't help but think of simply letting this apprentice stay first, and he went back to get the photo by himself.
"You stay here for now, I'll just go back alone." Saying to this apprentice, Master Cai took out a few pieces of rune paper from the bag.
"You carry these pieces of rune paper with you, if you encounter something dirty, take it out and light it at a critical moment." Continuing to speak, Master Cai turned and left.
Yu Xiao put away the rune paper, and after seeing Master Cai's figure gradually disappearing, he walked to the kitchen door and saw that he was burning a fire.
"I'll stay with you for a while, until Master Cai arrives." Stepping into the kitchen with his front foot, Yu Xiao looked at the pot and said.
"Okay, but I'm not raising it for nothing, you have to give money!" He got up and walked to the stove and began to stir-fry and cook.
"No problem, when these things are done, I will give you the money that should be paid in one lump sum." As Yu Xiao spoke, he happily walked over to help light the fire.
Seeing that he also had a smile on his face, Yu Xiao was a little surprised when he saw it. When I was in the hall with Master Cai at that time, I didn't see him smile for a while, and his face was full of seriousness.
"What should I call you?" Looking up at him, he asked.
I saw that he looked like he was in his thirties and nearly forty years old, but the muscles on his body were as tough as those of a young man.
"Just call me Uncle Ghost!" Turning his head to look at Yu Xiao, Uncle Ghost said with a smile.
I haven't seen a single person in my family for a long time, and I am very happy that I have two employers today.
However, Yu Xiao saw that at the age of Uncle Ghost, there should be a wife and children at home, but when he swept the door just now, he didn't see them, so he couldn't help but feel a little strange.
When I finally talked to Uncle Ghost, I learned that I had a wife and children at home before, but because Uncle Ghost went down to the river that time, he easily recovered the body of the deceased, so he was invited by his employer to his home and had a banquet.
But in the middle of the night, Uncle Ghost rushed home, and he was very happy, but he was complained by his wife for a while, and beat his wife while he was drunk.
That night, Uncle Ghost's wife rushed back to her parents' house with her two children.
Generally, this kind of corpse digger will be addicted to alcohol, and if he doesn't drink a few sips a day, his heart will itch. Coupled with a violent temper, it is easy to die alone.
Yu Xiao felt that it was rare for Uncle Ghost to marry a wife and give birth to two children, but he was quite happy. Then I guessed that the reason why they hadn't gone home was because Uncle Ghost couldn't pull off his old face, so he went to his mother's house to invite his wife and children back.
"Uncle Ghost, is it really that terrifying in the river?"
Yu Xiao suddenly opened his mouth to ask, and wanted to know about Uncle Ghost going down to the river to salvage the corpse over the years.
"Not to mention, every time I go down the river in heavy rain, although I haven't had an accident, I have encountered a lot of strange things!" Uncle Ghost said, washing his hands and preparing to stir-fry.
"I have a chance to take you to see it, standing in that small boat, you look into the middle of the cliff, it looks like rows of skulls are smiling at you!"
Uncle Ghost deliberately made a strange move and said loudly.
In the rainstorm, I encountered strange things in the river, and there were a lot of things. But they can dodge, and they haven't been taken advantage of by the unjust souls.
Uncle Ghost seems to have a serious face, but in fact he looks like a small one, but he is a little humorous. (To be continued.) )
