Chapter 412: Corpse Bearer

At noon that day, the male clerk asked for leave and didn't come, and I was having lunch with Mei Ying at the Buddhist brand shop, and casually asked who cooked at her house at night. "My husband is very busy right now, he has to travel for more than ten days a month, and I often eat dinner alone. ”

I smiled and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier." Can I date you out in the evening? Mei Ying smiled and said that you can do it at any time, as long as you don't have the wrong idea. I mentioned that the male clerk seemed to be interested in her, and Miei blushed and said that he did like herself, and once he was cleaning up in the utility room, and he touched her ass. Mei Ying was embarrassed to say anything.

When I heard this, I suddenly felt very angry. Men are also born with jealousy, although nothing happened to me and Meiying, and she is not my person, but for some reason, I heard that the male shopkeeper actually touched Meiying, and this fire started. I haven't even touched it, why are you?

Maybe seeing that my face was not very good-looking, Mei Ying hurriedly said that she didn't hate the male clerk. I won't let him do that again, I nodded. Miying smiled and asked me when I would invite her to dinner, and I was still very excited.

To be honest, although Mei Ying is only a clerk, she is also a young and beautiful young woman, and she is so good to me, it must not be because I am handsome, but because of my identity. I'm a friend of Master Chen, and I'm a bullshit Thai Buddhist senior advisor, and in Mei Ying's opinion, I'm the kind of person who is both capable and somewhat mysterious, so I look at me differently. If only it had been a few years ago. With my kind of dick, Meiying can't see it at all. I really think that people still have to go to high places, so that people will look up to you.

After eating, Miei was throwing away the leftover lunch boxes and other miscellaneous items. A young man walked to the door of the amulet shop, shrunken his head and looked at the slogans written in gold dust on the glass on both sides of the store, as if he wanted to come in but couldn't make up his mind. I sat on the sofa and saw through the glass that this person was dressed very old, and his temperament and demeanor were just an ordinary worker, more stupid than the former Peng Tsai, who sold pizzas in Hong Kong.

Miei was just about to go back to the store when she saw the young man standing in the doorway. I smiled and asked, I thought to myself that she was still more dedicated than me, if it was me, let alone ask, I wouldn't even look at him more, because he was obviously not the one who wanted to ask for a Buddhist card. The young man looked at Biei, then looked up at the sign of the Buddhist brand shop, and slowly stepped back away.

I didn't care about this man, but a few days later he came again.

At that time, I was standing bored in front of the store looking out at the scenery, and there were many people coming and going, and this young man came over, stopped at the door of the store, and looked at the gold dust writing on the glass with great attention. It was a few propaganda slogans, which were made when Sister Jiang renovated the Buddha card shop, and it was nothing more than some words like "Thai Buddha cards, the original temple respectfully invites, and the strong wish is made to drive away evil spirits and evil spirits".

The young man was wearing the same clothes as the other day, the old long-sleeved shirt, old pants, and leather shoes were no longer the original color. I thought to myself, what the hell is this person thinking, does he really want to ask for a Buddha card? But I really can't be upset with this kind of poor customer, because in the past, there were always poor people who were in difficulty and wanted to ask for help from the amulet, and if there was any unexpected difficulty, I had to be soft-hearted to solve it, and I couldn't get more money.

"This person seems to have been here two days ago, is he going to ask for a Buddhist card? I'll ask. Miei came to me and asked. I stopped her, pushed the door myself out, and walked towards the young man. Strangely, the man seemed to be flustered, took a few steps back, turned and ran away. Bird Ping.

I was so angry that I turned back to the store and told Mei Ying that this was a mental illness, and if I saw him come to the door in a daze in the future, don't pay attention to it.

Two days later, the young man came to the shop for the third time and stood in the middle of the door watching. I'm afraid that he will interfere with the business, and you say that if anyone wants to enter the store at this time, do you dare? I thought there was a fool standing in front of the store. So I went out and came to him, and the young man didn't hide from him this time, and I asked, "Is there something wrong with you?" I thought he would say something crazy, but he stretched out his finger and pointed to the gold powder words written on the glass, nodded again and again, and said with difficulty: "Yes...... Yes. He spoke so muffled that I could barely make out the words.

Asked him again what was the matter, and the young man began to shake his head again, pointing to his mouth, and waving his hand again. I understood, it turned out that he was a mute man, he couldn't speak, he could only pronounce the simplest words, and he struggled.

How is this communicated? I had to turn around and walk back, but the young man followed me into the store. I had to sit him down and ask him if he could hear me, he nodded again and again, took out a small notebook and handed it to me, I opened it and saw that it was full of crooked words, every page was there, but it was all slang in Cantonese, and I couldn't understand the words "系", "hmm", "咁", and "冇".

Handing the notebook to Mei Ying, she translated it to me from the beginning: "My name is Ah Fu, I can't say if I have a problem with my tongue, but I can hear it." I'm stumbling into a ghost and want someone to help. ”

"How do you know you've hit a ghost?" I couldn't help but interject and ask. This Ah Fu can obviously understand Mandarin, so he clumsily pointed to the notebook, meaning that there is still one behind. I thought to myself that as a northerner, I really suffered, Mandarin is almost understood in the whole country, but northerners are deaf when they go to the south.

Mei Ying also glanced at me: "Listen to me finish!" She continued to translate, and when she said, "I'm a corpse bearer," her face changed, and she looked at Ah Fu in fear. Ah Fu also seemed to be interested, and his expression was very embarrassed. Don't talk about Meiying, even I feel awkward, who would have thought that this Ah Fu would actually be a corpse bearer.

Ah Fu wrote every page of the notebook full, and I didn't know that I thought it was a diary, but it was actually written specifically for us to see. Through Mei Ying's translation, I learned that this Ah Fu is in Sham Shui Po, his parents are both deaf and mute, and his father has lung disease and often has hemoptysis. In his life, he has finally made some progress, but he is not deaf. Ah Fu is unwilling to live on his parents' welfare, and often goes out to look for work, but because he is mute and relatively wooden, he often messes up the simplest and most unskilled work.

One day, he went to a leather bag company in a building to apply for an advertisement, and it happened that the old mother of the owner of the company had just died of illness and was worried. Hong Kong people are as superstitious as Cantonese people, and in recent years, they may have been infected by Japanese culture, and there is another custom. If someone dies in a high-rise building and can't take the elevator, then no one wants to take the elevator. The stairs must be carried on the back of a person, no matter how high, and there is no way to stop halfway, and the inhabitants of this floor are unlucky. The owner of the leather bag company was about to look for the contact information of the corpse bearer on the wall of the corridor of the building, and saw that Ah Fu, who came to apply for the job, was mute, but his body was strong, so he asked him if he was willing to carry the old lady down more than ten floors, and he couldn't stop halfway, and gave him 3,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Maybe he saw more people, or maybe he was too poor, Ah Fu agreed without much hesitation, he carried the old lady's body down the stairs to the outside of the building in one breath, and the old lady's family followed. It was daylight again, so Ah Fu wasn't too scared. This old lady has been bedridden for many years, and she has been thin to a handful of bones, and her back is not heavy, and she earns two thousand yuan easily. When they came home in the evening and handed over the money to their parents, although they didn't want their son to do such a thing, they were happy to see the money after all. Ah Fu didn't know that he was scared until he went to bed at night, and he took two showers with water and insomnia, but after a few days, he got better.

Since then, Ah Fu found that it was good to do this business, so he persuaded his parents to pay for an advertisement in the newspaper, indicating that "the dumb professional corpse, XXX yuan per floor, please leave the address and phone number directly when you call, and come to the door 24 hours a day", and also registered it at the local police station, and also printed a lot of small advertisements, and sent them to the property office and security guards in large and small buildings in Hong Kong.

Since then, Ah Fu has been able to receive at least six or seven corpse jobs every month, and his monthly salary can reach nearly 20,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is twice the average salary level in Hong Kong in 06. But this work is not for everyone, most residents in Hong Kong live in public housing, there is very little communication with each other, many people died in the house after the house decomposed before the neighbors found out and called the police, the police called Ah Fu Lai to carry the body. This kind of corpse is very fragile, and when you carry it, you must support it underneath, otherwise it will fall apart, and if you pull the corpse's arms and legs off, the police will blame it, and the money will not be earned.
