Putting makeup on the dead is a funeral custom, keeping the appearance of the dead the same as before death, all over the world, but the modern makeup artist of the dead originated in foreign countries, called the undertaker.

Pu Wei was not a mortuary, at most he was a person who painted the faces of dead bodies. Because no woman has ever done anything in this line, how can a big man paint any makeup, and the technique is relatively simple, tidying up the hairstyle, pat powder on the face, in short, it is to cover up the dead air of that face, and it's okay to get more powder to paint the face whiter.

But the most critical step is not to cover up the dead breath on the face, but to make the dead corpse put on a smile, that is, the corners of the mouth are raised and the corners of the eyes are upturned, and it can be seen that it is a smile from a distance. When relatives and friends mourn, looking at the remains feels that the deceased is very peaceful, so it is not easy to make trouble during the wake.

Pu Wei is a half-finished hand in this regard, without a master to carry him, he relies on his own exploration. The art of applying makeup to the deceased is far higher than that of tying paper, and the deceased usually has a stiff face and bleeding ears and nose. Generally, before applying makeup to the deceased, you have to block the ears and nose of the deceased with a cloth, then rub the face, knead the coagulated blood, hook the corners of the mouth on both sides with your fingers, and keep it for a while to set the shape, and the deceased will always maintain this expression until he is buried in the ground.

But Pu Wei doesn't understand, how can he understand the doorway here, let alone have to rub the face of a dead person, he just tugged at the corners of his mouth, but his face was hard and he couldn't move at all, no way, he used needles and threads to penetrate the face, and then folded the face into two layers like sewing clothes and lifted it up, and it looked similar after being fixed, but it was a little awkward with his teeth exposed. It didn't look like a normal person's smile, but he dragged it up, and it was quite scary to look at with an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

Lao Wu had heard of Pu Wei before, but he knew that he specialized in doing white things, and there were many people who followed him to stutter, so I asked him to talk about how many jobs he could do. The brother of the grave team drank sheep soup for a few nights and slept until noon before waking up.

Hu Dabao was still sleeping, feeling that the people around him were coming and going, like a vegetable market, noisy and annoying, and he didn't open his eyes and shouted: "What are you doing?" Also, don't let the let people sleep? After speaking, he turned over and went back to sleep.

Suddenly his belly was cold, and then he felt someone pat his big belly and say, "Oh, what do you think of this piece of meat?" Although it is a little fatter, it is absolutely delicious, and you can take it back to refine oil! ”

Hu Dazhu was confused, what's going on? Is it really in the wet market? Why is he still on the board to be cut into meat? Suddenly woke up in shock, turned his head and saw that the kang was empty, and the room was quiet.

"Damn, I want to go crazy with meat, I'm almost going to cut myself, what a!" Hu Dabao sat up and quickly put on his clothes and went out. When he walked into the courtyard, he saw that many of his brothers were sitting and talking by the wall, and the floor was full of cigarette butts.

Lao Wu was still rolling a cigarette on his lap, and without raising his head, he said: "Let's go to the county to find the deacon in a while, and talk to people about it, if you can do it well, you can earn money for a meal, and if you can't get it, the money for tobacco and shochu will also come out, and then you can go to a bathhouse or something as you say." ”

My brother has drunk a lot of mutton soup for a few nights, and he is not very hungry until now, but he is really a little hungry, and he lacks so much taste in his mouth.

When it came to drinking, the fifth child immediately remembered something, and said to the fourth child with a smile: "This, fourth brother!" Have you forgotten the last bet? Hey, yes! It's the one that digs the grave faster than anyone, I remember you lost, right? ”

"How can you grandson remember this! It's good if you don't say it, I feel bad luck when I think of that cave, if it weren't for those holes, would we have suffered so many sins a few days ago? I want to drink and find Lao Wu! The fourth child smoked a cigarette and muttered angrily.

The sixth child was not afraid of big things, and then said energetically: "Hey! What's the matter with the fourth master? Do you want to play Lai? How did we decide in the first place, we are willing to lose the bet, my brothers are greedy, hurry up and buy a bar! ”

Lao Wu was busy with the things in his hands, he crumpled all the tobacco leaves he bought last time and rolled them into cigarettes, and covered them in a cloth bag to make it easier to smoke in the future. He didn't care about the brothers, but when they talked about the grave, Lao Wu's back stiffened, and he didn't know that the cigarette he had just rolled in his hand fell to the ground, and his eyes were straight as if he wanted something.

Hu Da's sleeping head was a little heavy, scratching the itchy flesh on his body, and walked over to Lao Wu's position. Squinted his eyes and saw that Lao Wu was in a daze, so he came to him and squatted down, just when he found a cigarette on the ground, he picked it up and blew the ashes, and then put it on his mouth to make a fire with Lao Wu.

As a result, Lao Wu was like a piece of wood, and a big man as big as Hu Da squatted in front of him, blocking a piece of light, and he didn't notice it at all, only occasionally shaking his head, as if he was in deep thought.

Hu Da was happy to see it, so he bared his teeth and said to the brothers around him: "Hey, don't make any noise, what do you think Lao Wu is doing!" Do you miss your daughter-in-law? After speaking, he grinned alone.

Xiao Qi also noticed that something was wrong with Lao Wu, and when he saw that Lao Wu's state was similar to his reaction before he talked nonsense last night, he was a little scared, and greeted Lao Wu softly and said, "Big brother? What's wrong? Do you remember something? But Lao Wu still looked like that, and Xiao Qi didn't hear him speak.

Hu Dawei hurriedly rolled up his sleeves and said with a smile: "It's an opportunity!" Don't rob me, watch my mouth pull him back! Before the words fell, he raised his hand and fanned Lao Wu's face with the wind.

At this time, Lao Wu woke up violently, and exclaimed: "I understand, Liu hat, he" As soon as he said half of the words, he was slapped over by Hu Dafang's "snap", and when he poured, his head hit the rib bone of the fourth child next to him, which almost swallowed the cigarette butt in his mouth and rolled all over the ground.

A slap knocked down two people, which must be applauded on the street, but this was in the dormitory of the grave team, Hu Dabo was put down by others before he could react, and then he was kicked, and he covered his head and shouted: "Hey, what are you doing!" I help this is! Don't hit me with this thorn, you have to scratch. ”

He has thick skin, and ordinary people can't beat him at all, and he also called out that they are bored, and the fourth child sat up with his ribs and bones, and shouted: "Okay, don't mess with him, let's see how Lao Wu is!" Why is he silent? ”

Lao Wu's head was still arched on the ground, and there was no movement, Xiao Qi scooped him up from behind, sat up straight, and took a closer look, but saw that Lao Wu's face was swollen and crying.

Xiao Qi frowned and said, "Second brother, what are you doing here, you see that you beat the eldest brother, you are crying!" ”

But Lao Wu frowned and said: "I was beaten and cried by him, I just remembered about Liu Hao, and I forgot about it!" ”
