Under our continuous questioning, Brother Peng said: "Actually, I don't know who this person is?" ”

Li Damin and I looked at each other in disbelief.

Brother Peng said helplessly: "After I woke up that day, it was like having a big dream. What is experienced is as distant as a dream, but it is as real as it actually happens. When I woke up, my family was so happy, not to mention how to celebrate, but later I went to the hospital for a follow-up, and the heart disease was still there, but it had been relieved to a great extent. At this time, someone said to me, do you know how you picked up this life, there are noble people to help you......"

Everyone gossiped that when Brother Peng was pushed into the emergency room, no one noticed that there was an outsider sitting in the corridor. The man was unremarkable, dressed ordinarily, supposedly wearing a hat, and looked like an honest manual worker.

Relatives and friends were anxiously waiting, and no one had the heart to pay attention to such a person.

Brother Peng was pushed out of the emergency room, and when Sister-in-law Peng fainted in fright, the man stood up and walked to Peng's corpse and looked at it and said that this person was still saved.

Because Brother Peng's death came so suddenly, everyone was crushed by this tragedy, and suddenly someone said so, and he was immediately regarded as a savior.

Of course, things will not be so simple, the contempt of doctors, the doubts of family members, etc., these will not be detailed one by one. The man only said that if you want to save the deceased, you don't have to be so troublesome, just let him go to the crematorium with the corpse truck, if you get to the ice warehouse and the deceased has not woken up, then the fate has been decided, and no one can save it.

Of course, in today's society, help will definitely talk about the price, and that person actually opened his mouth widely, and asked for three-tenths of the shares of Brother Peng's company with one mouth.

Hearing this, I didn't react, but Li Damin thought of something and asked, "Brother Peng, that person knew you before?" ”

Brother Peng shook his head: "I don't know all my life." ”

"Then how does he know that you are running a company and you want company shares?"

Brother Peng said, "Don't worry, wait until I'm done." ”

At that time, Brother Peng's son was also anxious, saying that as long as I revived my father, let alone three tenths, I would give you half of it. The man said this is what you said, don't regret it! Then they got on the corpse truck and went to the crematorium together.

The man had made a strange condition that he and the corpse must be left alone in the back compartment, and the rest of the people were not allowed to be there. Here is an explanation, in our place, every hospital will have a funeral one-stop salesman squatting, to see whose old man is not good, he will give a business card to his relatives, promising to send the old man on the road safely and steadily.

The funeral dragon has a business relationship with the crematorium, and this corpse transport vehicle is the funeral dragon and the crematorium. Don't look at it as a broken bread, this car is not just anyone qualified to sit on it. First of all, there must be a crematorium driver, and there must be a funeral one-stop business personnel to accompany you, and the last place is the accompanying family members, and you can only go to one.

The driver drove in front, while the family members and salesman accompanied the coffin in the back compartment, all the way to the crematorium for refrigeration, which was considered the last stop of the escort.

The man suggested that he could only be in the back compartment with the corpse, which was a bit against the rules. Before the salesman could raise an objection, Brother Peng's son quit. Although the young man is only in his third year, he has a strong backbone, and he is neither humble nor arrogant. He said that I would never put my dad's body with a stranger, and that it was not nice to say, what if you stabbed me in the back and destroyed my dad's body? You can do whatever you want, but I have to be on site.

The man looked at Brother Peng's son and said, "Okay, young man, don't regret it."

Nothing to regret, that's my dad. The son said.

Speaking of this, Brother Peng's face was full of happiness. He knocked on the cigarette ash: "I have such a son in my life who is content, this kid usually looks frizzy and frizzy, looks like a child, and can really lift the lid of the pot at a critical time." ”

Since the family members have no opinions, the funeral salesman and the crematorium driver are also happy, and they sit in the front driver and co-pilot. In the back compartment was the body of Brother Peng, who was carrying his son.

One more point, the funeral dragon uses a coffin when collecting the bodies of the dead. I've seen that kind of coffin, it's not a big coffin in the countryside or in novels, one big and the other small, painted with red paint. Rather, it was a small coffin that was narrow and delicate, covered with yellow satin.

The yellow satin is painted with gossip in a very gloomy dark tone, and there are patterns of feathering into immortals. Wrapped in the coffin, it is extremely strange and eerie.

The body is also put into the coffin, the body is scrubbed, the cotton is blocked with the seven orifices, and then wrapped in yellow silk cloth, and the two big men raise their heads and put them into the coffin. Before closing the lid, the family of the deceased had to elect a representative to shout: "XX, you go all the way!" ”

But at that time, the man made a request, Brother Peng's body could not be put into the coffin, and it could be put on a stretcher and carried into the back compartment. Relatives and friends talked about it, and some people persuaded Sister-in-law Peng and her son, you can't let such an unknown person mess around. Lao Peng died suddenly, and he couldn't be tossed anymore when he died. Sister-in-law Peng doesn't look like a teacher, but after all, she is a woman, and she has no idea. The son really did it, withstood the huge pressure of public opinion, and fully cooperated with that person, what he said was what he said. When the time comes, if my dad can't survive, let's settle the account.

Brother Peng's body was completely naked, covered with only a white sheet, and carried into the carriage on a stretcher. The man and his son also went in with him.

The corpse truck started and roared along the city road to the crematorium on the outskirts.

Other relatives and friends, either in private cars or taxis, followed along the way.

Li Damin listened anxiously: "Brother Peng, what did that person do to you in the back compartment?" ”

Brother Peng took a deep breath: "I have asked my son this question many times, but he has never said it. Since I rescued him, he was in a very bad mood, his face was very gloomy, and he barely smiled. I often lock myself in the house and don't come out, I'm really afraid that he will be autistic. ”

I blinked, "It's not going to be him who gave you his life, right?" ”

Li Damin glared at me: "Don't talk nonsense. ”

Brother Peng was stunned: "What continues to live?" What does it mean? ”

I scratched my head, ignoring Li Damin's eyes, and said: "Your life has come to an end, but in order for you to continue to live, there is a master's practice, and I borrowed your son's Yang Shou to continue to give you ......."

Brother Peng looked at me, suddenly burst into laughter, and tears came out of his laughter: "Xiao Liu, I can be regarded as convinced of you, you can come up with such." ”

I was a little anxious: "This is not. You know that there was a strange murder in XX place, the whole country was shaken, and a country boy was killed, and he was hanged on the roof beam with a scale around his neck......"

"Stop talking, shut up!" Li Damin frowned: "There is nothing else, nonsense." ”

I still want to say something, but Brother Peng waved his hand: "Maybe there is such an anti-heaven spell as life extension, but this is not the case with me." After repeated questioning, my son finally told me what had happened that day. ”

The rear compartment of the corpse transport vehicle only has a light bulb with a small wattage hanging on the roof of the shed, which is dimly lit. The body was placed in the middle of the clearing, and the man and his son sat on either side. For some reason, this cramped space was very cold, revealing an eerie cool air, and the son didn't know whether he was nervous or scared, he shivered from the cold, and his lips were white while holding his shoulders.

The man asked his son, "What's your father's name?" ”

"Peng Liang."

"Okay, you listen to me. Now you grab your dad's hand. ”

The body was lying on a stretcher, the white sheet was not tightly covered, and a pale hand fell outside. The son looked at his hand and hesitated, although he knew that it was his father's hand, but after all, it was on a dead man. The fear that ordinary people have for the corpses of the dead is rooted in their consciousness and cannot be eliminated for a while.

The man looked at him with blazing eyes: "If you don't dare to hold it, then please get out of the car." ”

The son gritted his teeth: "Hold it." He half-crouched on the ground and held his father's hand. The dead man's hand was cold and stiff to the touch, and even though he had just died, it still felt like a lump of ice in his hand.

The man stood up and took out a black plastic bag from the inside pocket of his clothes, and he turned his back to his son, and the light was dim, so he didn't know what was in the bag. After a while, the man took out three long incense sticks from the bag.

The incense is different from the incense seen in the world, although it is only the length of an adult's palm, it looks thick and strong. The body is red, and there seems to be some kind of curvilinear pattern painted on it.

He inserted three sticks of incense into a small delicate incense burner, and then unhurriedly took out a cigarette and lit it. The cigarette butt flickered, and he slowly exhaled a puff of smoke ring, pinched the tail of the cigarette, and put the cigarette butt on the incense and lit it.

The incense burns, slowly emitting a thin greasy fragrance, which smells a little like roasted pig's head.

The man looked at his watch and said to himself, "There's still some time." Then sit on a bench and close your eyes.

The son was anxious: "Can you save my father?" Why are you still asleep? ”

"I can't save it now, his soul hasn't reached the ...... yet" The next word was said quickly and vaguely, and my son didn't hear it clearly, but felt that the pronunciation of the word was very strange, a little not like Chinese.

After a while, the man opened his eyes and looked at his watch: "It's almost." ”

He took a deep breath of his cigarette, puffed out his cheeks and came to the corpse, and lifted the white sheet on it, revealing Brother Peng's pale and lifeless face.

The son couldn't bear to look at it anymore, so he turned his face away, tears rolling in his eyes.

The man leaned down, came face to face with the corpse, and slowly opened his mouth. He made a mouth blow, and slowly exhaled a puff of white smoke from his narrow lips, which was like clotted fat, covering Brother Peng's face and burrowing along his nose.

"What are you doing here?" The son was shocked.

The man ignored him, still throwing up unhurriedly.
