Chapter 109: Makeup Artist (It's the beginning of the month, ask for flowers, tickets, hehe)

Hu Yin is no longer pestering me, Liu Mei is at work, Su Xue is busy filming, and Mr. Guan is fine now, staying at home with Mrs. Guan all day long. originally planned to have time now, fulfill the obligation of being a master, and prepare to teach Qiao Ling, but she was called out to play by Anyang and the others. Now that I was left with nothing to do, I suddenly found myself an idle person, always looking for something to do. Let's go to work, I'm really not interested, and when I go to work, I sit there to rest, so I might as well go shopping by myself. Although the Z4 is not a top-of-the-line sports car like a Porsche Ferrari, it is still a BMW, and I always feel that driving out is too low-key. It's a bit out of line with my surname, so today I went out and chose to walk. Actually, I'm just bored at home, so I just go to the street and take a walk. Shopping with Hu Yin, that heart is tense all the time, how can you be in the mood to look at what you like? Even if a beautiful woman passes by, she doesn't dare to take a few more looks, for fear of angering the beauty next to her.

It's completely free to come out today, you can watch whatever you want, and you can do whatever you want. The crisp autumn weather made my originally depressed heart feel a lot better, and I felt good to be alive when I looked at the world of flowers on the street. Entering the mall, I wandered aimlessly, feeling extremely relaxed. When I was about to go up to the second floor to have a look, I was hit around the corner by someone before I got on the elevator, and then I heard the sound of things falling. I cursed in my heart, who doesn't have long eyes. I heard a cute female voice hurriedly say, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bump into you." I looked at the person in front of me who apologized, not tall, dressed in sportswear, shoulder-length hair, with a black-framed eye, but very delicate, I don't know if it's because I'm in a good mood today, or the other party is a girl, my anger has also disappeared a lot, and I said lightly: "It's okay, it's okay, be careful next time." The little girl apologized again, and I waved my hand and was about to leave, when I saw what she had dropped on the ground, and I felt that if I had gone like this, how ungentlemanly I would be. So I squatted on the ground and helped her pick things up. It's all some cosmetics, a lot of them are new, and there are a lot of old ones.

I thought to myself, "Is it a makeup artist?" Otherwise, it's the business of makeup. She looked at me and helped her pick up things, and while saying thank you, I smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay." "When I picked up the old eyebrow pencil and was about to return it to her, I felt that the eyebrow pencil in my hand was weird, and I didn't know what was wrong, but I felt that this eyebrow pencil felt a little different in my hand from what I had just picked up. I felt it carefully, and it always felt a little unnatural. Suddenly, I heard the girl whisper, "Please give me back that eyebrow pencil." Only then did I react and find that there was nothing left on the ground, only the eyebrow pencil in my hand. I smiled awkwardly, handed her the eyebrow pencil, and said, "You're a makeup artist, huh?" She also smiled awkwardly, and seemed a little embarrassed to say, "Yes." ”

I thought to myself, "What's so embarrassing about this, you don't look like a cosmetics seller, you don't see an old cosmetics seller." The little girl took the old eyebrow pencil, said thank you, and walked away from me. When she passed by me, I was deliberately hungry and cared for a moment, and I felt as if there was a kind of yin energy. I wondered even more, thinking, "How can a living person have such an aura?" When I saw her just now, I didn't want to be entangled by something. So, out of curiosity, I followed the little girl. I want to see what is going on with her, if I encounter any trouble, I can still help her, and it can be regarded as a kind of fate to meet together.

The little girl walked very fast, and passed through the crowd on the street. It's like a fish in the water. It seems that this is also her habit, and I can't keep up with her footsteps anymore. It seems that her surname is more withdrawn, otherwise it wouldn't be like this. Following her, I was always worried about being discovered by her, but she didn't look back all the way, just walked forward with her head down. I followed her on a bus again, I hadn't been on a bus for almost two years, I was a little unaccustomed to it, and I had to keep some distance from the girl. She got out of the car at the hospital, and I followed her out of the car, thinking, "Is she here to see someone?" Curious, he continued to follow her.

Who knew that this little girl did not go to the main entrance of the hospital, but entered the gate and walked to the back of the hospital. I wondered even more when I saw her walk into the morgue and remembered the makeup in her hand and the feeling I felt when I got that old eyebrow pencil, and I guessed her profession. That old eyebrow pencil, of course, will have a little bit of yin qi when she comes into contact with more dead people, and she is also, often dealing with dead people, if there is no yin qi on her body, it will be strange. I didn't follow up, and if I followed in, it would definitely make her think I was a pervert, or that I was trying to do something to someone.

Actually, this matter has ended here, and it has satisfied my curiosity. However, I seem to be very fated with some troubles, and it is impossible to live a quiet life, perhaps because my curiosity is too strong. After leaving the hospital, I didn't think it was interesting to change streets, so I went home and began to study the notes left by the old fortune teller, the uncle in black. Many of these notes are written in traditional Chinese, and many of them are about physiognomy, and of course there are some eight-character characters, plum blossom easy numbers, and other techniques used for divination. There is almost no nonsense, it is all experience and summary, I watched it for about five or six hours, I really can't stand it, too tired and tired, although these things are good, but many of them have to be memorized, to remember, no one has any tricks, it is impossible to take any shortcuts. Learning is a painful thing that requires perseverance and a step-by-step approach.

At four or five o'clock in the afternoon, I drove out the door. I want to go for a ride and soothe my mood. Not long from home, I saw a familiar figure on the corner of the street, walking with his head down, isn't this the makeup artist I saw in the mall today? I honked the horn a few times, and almost all the pedestrians on the side of the road and the people riding the electric scooters looked at me, except for the makeup artist who was still walking with her head down, as if she didn't care about anything else in the world except walking. I drove very slowly, still following her, I honked the horn a few more times, and she still didn't respond. I was a little anxious and shouted, "That beautiful woman walking with her head down, let's get to know each other." ”

I don't know if she thinks the voice is familiar, or if she thinks I'm calling her, but this time she turned back. When we looked at each other, she was a little surprised, and after about a few seconds, she suddenly said, "Are you calling me?" I almost got out of the car, but I parked it and said, "yes, we met in the morning, right?" She nodded mechanically and said, "I recognize it." Then I said, "Where you go, I'll give you a ride." She shook her head and said, "No, no, I'll be there soon." I thought to myself, "Why don't you go to the hospital and put makeup on the dead?" "There aren't any hospitals around here. I said, "Are you still afraid that I will abduct you, so careful?" I got out of the car as I spoke, walked up to her and said, "Look at you, I've seen you twice a day today, after all, it's fate, I can't give you a ride." I could see the hesitation in her eyes. She looked at my car, then at me, and I grabbed her hand and dragged her to the car, and said, "Let's go, I can't eat you again." ”

She barely resisted before I was shoved into the car. In the car, she was like a frightened kitten. I smiled and asked, "What's your name?" She replied weakly, "Tracy." I also immediately introduced myself and said: "My name is Qin Ze, what do you do, I see that you have taken so many makeup things, you are a makeup artist, right?" She hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded, not speaking. I thought to myself, "yes, if the average person knows that he is making up for the dead, he will be a little resistant, and if he doesn't, it would be abnormal." I asked, "Where are you going, I'll send you." She listened to me, and she didn't say a word for a long time. I thought to myself, "It seems that she is also a person who can't lie, and if she could, she wouldn't be so embarrassed and speechless." It is estimated that the surname is also a little withdrawn, and it is caused by less contact with people. ”

After a long time, she said in a very small voice: "Funeral home." I was not surprised when I heard her words, but just smiled faintly, yes, many people will stay away when they hear about funeral homes or people who deal with the dead. I guess she didn't expect that I also dealt with dead people, even ghosts and gods, more than that. In the car, I didn't look at her much all the time, I just gave her a ride.

My car went straight to the funeral home, she seemed to know the direction of my car, and said weakly: "Stop at the front, I'm not far away." I smiled faintly and said, "It's nothing, I don't shy away from it, you don't have to worry." She seemed embarrassed, and she wasn't very good at talking, so I continued: "Don't worry, I'm just curious about your profession, I've done this before, but it's just different from yours." She was suddenly as excited as a chicken blood, and hurriedly said: "You used to be ...... too" I nodded and said: "This is nothing, people have to go somewhere sooner or later, aren't they all cremated now?" Why do you still need makeup? She seemed to open the conversation and said: "Cremation is good, but some people are coming to see off the deceased, and sometimes the deceased has a bad face when they die, so they need a makeup artist to help them." I nodded, thinking, "Take off your pants and fart, but it's not bad, if you look at the dead people directly, I guess there will be a lot of people who can't stand it." ”

She continued: "It's very rare to be this person now, after all, the pay is not very much, and sometimes I have to run back and forth, today when I came out, I found that I brought some less makeup things, that is, I bought some, and then accidentally bumped into you." I smiled and said, "That's fate." She smiled too, the first time I had seen her smile, and said, "Do you think there really are ghosts in the world?" I looked at her, couldn't guess what answer she wanted, and said, "You've been doing this for so long, haven't you seen it?" She shook her head and said, "I've seen a lot of corpses, all kinds of things, but I've never seen a ghost." I smiled and said, "What the hell is in this world, it's all made up by people." But I thought to myself, "There are some things you still don't know, otherwise I guess there will be one less makeup artist in this world." I asked, "If there really is a ghost, are you afraid?" She hesitated for a moment and said, "A little, after all, I've never seen it, and after doing it for a long time, I'm used to it." ”

I didn't answer, thinking: "After all, it's still a girl, telling her so much can only make her afraid, and it will be inconvenient to work in the future, if she hasn't seen it until now, then it is estimated that it will be difficult to see it in the future, and it may be because those things have not appeared." I changed the subject and said, "Why do you do this job, there are very few girls doing this now, right?" She said helplessly: "This is a family heirloom." In the words, in addition to helplessness, I was still helpless, so I asked: "This is also a family heirloom?" She nodded and said, "Yes, it's family heirloom." "I wondered for a while, how could it be that even the makeup of the dead was a family heirloom? China's culture is really harmful.

I asked, "Haven't you ever thought about changing jobs?" I think you're more introverted, don't like to talk, and don't have many friends, right? As if remembering something sad, she nodded, tears rolled in her eyes, and said with a little choked up: "When I was in school, my classmates knew that my family was doing this, and they didn't play with me at all, I didn't go to school after junior high school, and then I made friends, and when people heard that my family was doing this, I wouldn't be in contact after contacting once......" I immediately interrupted her and said: "It's okay, it's okay, aren't we friends now, I'm not afraid." I looked at me in amazement and said, "Would you like to be my friend?" I nodded sincerely and said: "Of course, I actually do this business, I'm afraid you don't believe it, I'm still a fortune teller, what is yours, I'm oh In the eyes of others, it's a standard feudal superstition." ”

She laughed, amused by me. I continued, "So, it's nothing, from now on!" No, we've been friends since just now, and if you don't mind, let me see how you work. ”
