Chapter 53: The Funeral Parlor's Burner

When I saw this note, I couldn't help but be shocked.

It's not hard to have a ghost in such a strange place.

I didn't dare to move anymore, and I looked at the white-haired old man and was about to open my mouth to ask:

He shook his head and motioned not to let me speak.

The atmosphere instantly became tense, I was stunned and didn't dare to turn around and couldn't speak, so I stood stupidly for three or five minutes, and Lao Liu finally came to me.

Lao Liu saw me standing motionless and pushed me quite strangely, and asked in a low voice:

"What are you doing standing still?"

I made a gesture to shut up and handed the note to Lao Liu.

Lao Liu looked at the note, shook his head helplessly, and whispered to the white-haired old man on the side:

"Old man Liu, how old are you, and you are still so fun-loving"

I was stunned when I heard this, and turned my head to look at the white-haired old man surnamed Liu.

Old man Liu looked at me and finally couldn't hold back his laughter.

"Where did you get a stupid boy, what a fool?"

I immediately understood that this white-haired old man had passed me a note to play tricks on me!

I said in a cold voice that was not angry:

"Old man Liu, don't talk about people during the day, don't mention ghosts at night, how can you play like this"

Old man Liu said with a smile:

"Who said you can't mention ghosts at night, if you don't mention ghosts, they are everywhere"

Lao Liu interjected on the side.

"Don't tease him, I'm here today to ask you something important."

Old man Liu frowned and said:

"You old boy have always come with something, and you have the most business, let's say, what information do you want to check this time?"

Lao Liu pointed at me and whispered:

"This little brother has fallen under the curse of a hundred ghosts crying door"

As soon as he heard the hundred ghosts crying, Old Man Liu's expression instantly became serious.

"Hundred ghosts crying door! Didn't you meet it once ten years ago, the same person put a curse? ”

Lao Liu nodded and said:

"The same, the curse was placed on him, and now it has passed the second step"

Old man Liu was shocked when he heard this:

"Oh, you have to break the spell quickly, otherwise something big will happen."

I suddenly remembered that ten years ago, Lao Liu set fire to the building in order to break the curse, and asked:

"Lao Liu, isn't it said that you need an open fire to break the curse, just like when you set fire to the building?"

Lao Liu sighed when he heard this, and said in a low voice:

"Open fire to break the curse, that's the next step, it was too late to find out back then, so I had to choose that step, now it's different, try not to die"

Old man Liu pondered for a while and said:

"This Xiangxi curse is indeed fierce, once the curse is completed, not only the person who is cursed will die, but the person who becomes the curse in the second step will die, once the hundred ghosts cry at the door, all those who hear the ghosts cry will die in three days."

I couldn't help but sink in my heart, it was my gullibility that people were cursed, and now I have harmed Xiaoliu, if I affect my colleagues in this building again, then I will really be doomed.

Old man Liu saw that I was depressed, and comforted me:

"It's not that there's no way, I really have a book in this library that records the method of breaking the spell, that is..."

Old man Liu said half of it, as if something was difficult to say, so he didn't continue.

I asked anxiously:

"What's it? It doesn't matter what, just say it."

Old man Liu looked at Lao Liu and said to me:

"It's just a little scary, I don't know if you dare?"

I hastened to answer:

"If you don't dare, just say it"

"The funeral parlor's burner is the place where the yin is the heaviest, and the fire in the furnace is also the fiercest open flame, if you can bake it next to this open fire every day, you can force the yellow paper man out, burn the yellow paper man with the lead, and this spell will be broken."

I gasped when I heard this, funeral home!!

Roast the corpse oven!!

I swallowed and couldn't help asking:

"I'm not an employee there, how can I approach the crematorium every day?"

Old man Liu grinned and said with a smile:

"Then become an employee there."

After that, he waved and said:

"Okay, that's the thing, you two hurry up, the book is coming later"

I still haven't asked a question clearly, and just as I was about to open my mouth, Lao Liu pulled me out of the library.

On the way back, I nagged Lao Liu and asked:

"This old man Liu is so weird, how can anyone read in such a place except for the two of us, I haven't finished asking yet."

Lao Liu didn't think about it and said coldly:

"This midnight library opens at 8 p.m. and is for people to see before 12 p.m., and who to show it after 12 p.m., you can figure it out for yourself."

Lao Liu has never joked with me, and what he said was natural and smooth, I felt cold and infiltrated, after twelve o'clock in the evening, was it for ghosts?

Old man Liu is Lao Liu's old friend, although this old man is sometimes not very serious, but he should not joke about major events that affect people's lives.

At this point, the crematorium of the funeral home has become my lifesaver!!

Even if I don't want to do it in my heart, I have to grit my teeth!

Xiao Liu was still the same, lying on the bed in a daze, staring at the ceiling with big eyes.

I was afraid that his eyes would be dry, so I gave him a few eye drops.

Early the next morning, I hurried to the funeral parlor in the city.

There are two funeral parlors in the city, one of which is not very far from the company.

Xiaoliu is evil, I still have to drive every day, so in the end I chose to go to this place closer to the company.

The funeral parlor was small, with only a small three-story building with white walls and bricks, plus a cremation room.

I inquired about the doorman and asked me to apply for a job and go directly to the office on the third floor to find the manager.

Maybe it's psychological, the moment I stepped on the first floor, I felt the wind swishing.

The hall on this floor is a place for collection procedures, and when I entered the door to go upstairs, the beauty in the collection room asked in a low voice:

"Is there anything wrong with you?"

I hurriedly whispered back:

"I went upstairs to the manager for an interview"

As soon as this beauty heard the interview, her face fell, and she quickly waved her hand up and said:

"Go up, go up, go up"

Then he turned and went into the house.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: This world is like this, the work grade is low, and the beauties are disgusted and don't want to talk more.

On the third floor, the manager's office is at the top of the stairs, the office door is not closed, and a middle-aged man in blue overalls with a middle-parted hair is playing with a computer on the office desk.

When the manager saw me, he asked in a low voice:

"Something wrong with you? All the formalities are on the first floor."

I entered the room and said politely:

"Big brother, I want to ask if you are short of people, I want to work part-time"

The manager was carelessly fiddling with the computer a second ago, and when he heard that I was going to work part-time, he instantly raised his head, stood up with a smile and said:

"Lack, lack, lack...."

"What post are you missing, although I haven't done it, but I learn everything quickly, and it's best to work close to the burner."

When the manager heard this, his eyes lit up, and he quickly beckoned me to sit down, and said enthusiastically:

"No work experience, no need for anything, I fell in love with you as soon as I saw it, that, we lack corpse burners, do you think it's okay?"

The cremator is the work of transporting the corpses of the dead into the burner, and the whole funeral home is the closest to the burner.

This is exactly what I wanted, and I smiled and nodded in agreement:

"Okay, I just want to be a corpse burner, but I'm a night driver on Changxin Street, and this job can only be part-time, from day to night between ten o'clock.

The manager was about to laugh out, and said eagerly:

"There's nothing wrong with it, we don't lack people during the day, so you can go to work from 6 pm to 10 pm."

I know that few people want to do the work of dealing with dead people, but I didn't expect the interview to go so smoothly, especially the enthusiasm of this manager, which made me very uncomfortable.

In the end, I agreed with the manager to start work tonight, and the manager called downstairs, and after a while, an employee in his forties wearing work clothes came in.

The manager pointed at the man and said:

"This is your partner, they all call him stone, from today onwards if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask him"

Then he turned to the stone and said:

"His name is Li Yao, the new elite, you have brought it"

This person named Stone has been with a calm face since he came in, without a trace of expression, I think it is also, working in a funeral home, if I happily let the family members who come here see it every day, I will be unhappy.

When I got out of the office, Stone didn't talk to me, just kept his head down and went downstairs.

When I went down to the first floor, I happened to meet a family who came to cremate the corpses of their relatives, and in addition to the formalities in the hall on this floor, there was also a morgue connected to the corridor on the right, and after the corpses were pushed out of the morgue, they had to advance from an embedded corridor to the outer fire room, that is, the burner.

The family cried bitterly as they watched the bodies of their loved ones being pushed into the corridor leading to the crematorium.

The accompanying staff members glanced at me inexplicably, then bowed their heads and hurried by.

Maybe it was just a casual glance at me, but I always felt that there was something in his eyes!

I went back to the dormitory and settled down briefly, handed over Xiaoliu to Lao Li to take care of, and after dinner, I rushed back to the funeral home to start my first day of part-time.

To this day, although I have seen countless ghosts, for some reason, when I mention the word funeral home, I still feel a sudden burst in my heart.

But it's still the same sentence, in order to save myself, and in order to save Xiaoliu, I have to bite the steel teeth!!

When I came to the funeral home, the beauty in the collection room happened to get off work during the day, and went out to greet me, I thought that I had met during the day, and I would be regarded as a colleague in the future, so I took the initiative to greet her.

Before I could say hello, this beautiful woman saw me from afar, and quickly turned a corner and went out of the yard around the boss.

I don't have a taste in my heart, this is too snobbish!

When I entered the first floor, I happened to meet my partner introduced to me by the manager during the day, Stone.

Seeing that I was still expressionless, the stone nodded coldly.

When I saw that he had no intention of speaking, I followed.

On the way from the corridor on the first floor to the crematorium, I asked him strangely:

"Brother Shi, I'm curious, the beautiful woman in the cash room at the door is off work, if someone wants to cremate at night, who will collect the money?"

The indifferent stone finally spoke.

"We are no better than the big funeral parlor in the city, usually there are not many people who come here for cremation, and it is not worth any money to come to cremate after 6 o'clock in the afternoon."

"Don't want money?"

The stone nodded, and without looking back, continued:

"On your first day at work, you have to remember to lock the door when you enter and exit the crematorium, you know? Also, don't let people follow you in any case."

I nodded and said:

"Brother Shi, don't worry, I'm driving, and locking the door is the same as I usually plug and unplug the car key, I remember"

The stone didn't say anything more, and led me into the cremation room to briefly introduce the key operation of the machine.

There are not many employees in this funeral home, and by half past nine in the evening, there are few people in the whole building.

Although I have been worried and scared in my heart, fortunately, there is no funeral home fraud and crying that is often told in ghost stories.

With a little relief, I was ready to end my first day and leave work.

I changed my clothes, and when I was walking in a hall, I happened to meet an old lady who rushed in.

The old lady was scrawny and seemed to be in a hurry, and when I saw that he was about to turn right, I couldn't help asking:

"Auntie, you're off work, what's the matter with you?"

When the old lady saw me, she stopped and asked anxiously:

"Young man, are you off work, can you please practice another one?"

I asked her for some reason:

"Auntie, it's off work, the machines are turned off, you want to cremate your family tomorrow."

The old lady burst into tears when she heard this, and I saw that she was convulsed quite pitifully, and thought that she must have lost some relative, so I couldn't bear to comfort her:

"Auntie, people can't be resurrected after death, how relieved you are, who are you going to cremate, you tell me, I will be the first to practice tomorrow morning"

Unexpectedly, this lady patted her chest and said a word, and the hair on my body exploded!

"Myself"
