Chapter 63: The White-Haired Man
Yanzi frowned and said, "Boss, it's really difficult to recruit the right person in our place, I think this little brother is good." Otherwise, you can accept it, if you let the second sister come, I'm afraid it will ......"
She said, her face a little worried. I am even more suspicious, what is the origin of this "second sister", this swallow looks like she is not afraid of heaven and earth, but when it comes to this second sister, she actually looks like a cicada.
The black hair snorted a few times and said with a smile: "Aren't you very optimistic about this little ghost, what are you afraid of?" ”
Yanzi sneered at each other: "Who is the one who is arrogant on weekdays, and behaves like a chicken when he sees the second sister?" ”
The black hair said angrily: "Aren't you the same? Except for the boss here, who saw that the second sister was not as well-behaved as a chicken? ”
The hemp boss waved his hand and said, "Okay, stop arguing!" The second child's requirements are indeed too high, but she has always been in charge of the corpse makeup room, and it is not good to do this without her consent. ”
The corpse makeup room that Boss Ma talked about is actually the dressing room that is often said. I listened to what they said, and I said a word, and I seemed to be very jealous of the second sister, and I was even more curious in my heart, and I just wanted to meet that person quickly.
In the end, it was the muscular man who proposed, saying: "I think this child is good, so I should take this child to meet the second sister, maybe the second sister will feel good after seeing it." As he spoke, he smiled at me innocently.
I had a very good impression of this man, and I smiled at him in return.
So, the hemp boss gave an order, and a few people took me out of the mortuary together, went out and turned a corner, and walked westward. I've walked around here a few times before, but I haven't seen it.
Generally speaking, the dressing room and mortuary are not far away, because it is convenient to push the corpse over to dress up. But this place was a little different, and I walked with a few people for a while, and then turned a few bungalows, and saw a few large locust trees in front of me, which stretched out their canopies and completely shielded them from the scorching sun.
In the shadow of the locust trees, there is a small one-story bungalow with sparse moss crawling on the walls. If you look closer, you can see that the wooden door is made of primary-colored wood, which is not painted, and looks very rough. There was a small wooden sign hanging on the door, which read: "Corpse Makeup Room" in three small red letters.
I paid special attention to the small letters, although they were striking red, they were not written in cinnabar, maybe some kind of special ink.
When they arrived at the door, the hemp boss was silent, Yanzi and the black hair both stood aside with their heads down, and the thin bamboo pole still looked stunned, and finally the muscular man stepped forward and tapped the door a few times, and whispered: "Second sister, are you there?" ”
After a while, seeing that no one answered, he raised his voice again: "Second sister, someone has come to apply." ”
I watched it funny, and thought to myself, these people are also funny, how old are they, and what kind of monster lives in it, so that this person is scared like this.
The muscular man shouted a few times, but when he saw that he still didn't respond, he was about to knock again, when he heard the first voice in the room: "The door is not locked, come in." It wasn't loud, but it sounded clear.
The muscular man's face was overjoyed, and he agreed: "Second sister, then let's come in." He carefully pushed the door open and stepped in, trying not to make too much noise.
Ma Boss stood still and said, "You guys go first." ”
Swallow and Black Fur glanced at each other, pulled the thin bamboo pole and let him go ahead, and then the two went in one after another. Boss Ma finally beckoned to me and said, "Let's go in too." ”
I nodded and followed him in. As soon as I entered the house, I found that it was pitch black and very dark. Finally, my eyes got used to it, and I could see clearly that the room was about twenty square meters, and the objects placed in it were extremely simple, and there were several wooden beds in the direction of the inside, which were all dressing tables used to make up corpses.
In addition, there is a row of wooden shelves against the wall, full of things, and it is impossible to see what it is when it is dark. There is also a wooden table and a few wooden chairs, which are probably used for sitting and resting. There was also a rattan deck chair where a man was lying with his back to us. The room was very dark, there was not even a window, and there was no light, only by the light from the doorway, I could vaguely tell that it was a woman, and the hair exposed outside the chair was gray, and it seemed to be an old woman who was quite old.
I looked around the room again and wondered. Just outside the house, I obviously heard a woman talking, and listening to the voice, she should be quite young, at most similar to a swallow. But I scanned the room a few times and didn't see anyone else.
The muscular man walked up to the old woman and whispered, "Second sister, we're here." ”
It turned out that this old woman was their second sister, and looking at this hair, she was about the same age as the old man surnamed Ma. As soon as the swallow and the black fur entered the door, they shrank to the side with their heads bowed, like two quails, and they did not dare to come out. Ma Boss is standing on the side, looking at his nose and nose, and his nose is looking at his heart, and he doesn't move.
It's a little funny to me, it's not just an old woman, these people are afraid to be like this.
After a long while, I heard the old woman say "um", "What's the matter?" Listening to this voice, although it was not loud and a little weak, it was quite clear and pleasant, and there was also a hint of delicateness.
If I hadn't heard it coming from an old woman, I would have thought it was a young woman speaking.
The muscular man immediately said, "Someone has come to apply, let's bring it to the second sister for you to see." ”
The old woman said, "If there are still a few like the previous ones, throw them out to feed the dogs as soon as possible, and don't bother me." Although the old woman spoke weakly, it was terrifying to say it.
The muscular man hunched his waist and smiled honestly: "This time, a few of us think it's good, so I brought it to the second sister to see." ”
"Oh? Even the boss thinks good? The old woman seemed to be interested.
The old man had been standing aside and closed his eyes to recuperate, but when he heard the old woman call him, he hurriedly answered and said, "I also think it is good." ”
"Then I'm going to see you." The woman held out a hand from the wicker chair. I noticed that this hand was wearing a glove. It's not the corpse gloves that are common in the make-up room, but the woolen gloves that are woven only with green wool. It's really strange, in this summer, there are still people who wear a pair of woolen gloves on their hands, isn't it too hot to panic?
When the muscular man saw this, he immediately went up and hugged the old woman and helped the old woman up from the chaise longue. The woman coughed slightly, and turned around with her arm on the muscular man.
I took one look and was stunned. Although this woman is full of white hair, her face is very young, and she looks to be in her forties at most, which does not match the white hair. The facial features are not bad, but the face is extremely pale, the eyes are quite narrow, tilted upward, and a few wisps of crow's feet crawl up on both sides of the eyes, adding a bit of vicissitudes of time.
I was looking at her, and she just happened to knock on her, and I met her gaze, and I was shocked in my heart, and I only felt that although those eyes were not bright, they seemed to be able to see the depths of my heart at once, so I hurriedly avoided my gaze and lowered my head.
After a while, I came back to my senses, thinking that I was just a woman, what was there to be afraid of, so I raised my head again and continued to look at her.
"Is that the kid?" The woman said, her voice weak, and she couldn't hear any emotion.
The muscular man hurriedly said, "Second sister, it's him." Don't look at this child's young age, but his qualifications are very good. ”
The woman helped the muscular man to walk a few steps, obviously with a leg problem, as if she had some leg disease, and asked the muscular man to help her to sit down in a chair next to her. He didn't speak, he didn't look at me again, he didn't know what he was thinking.
The hemp boss finally stopped standing on the stake, and said loudly: "Second child, this kid is indeed not bad." Yanzi, you tell your second sister what happened before. ”
Yanzi probably didn't expect Ma Lao to suddenly point at her head, and she was dazed for a while, and then she let out an "oh" and told everything that happened in the mortuary before.
It's just that her words are like two people dancing in the mortuary before. At this time, the swallow is like a gourd with a sawed mouth, and it trembles even when it says a word, let alone a little smile on its face.
It seems that this second sister may have caused a great shadow to her, standing in front of her, several people didn't even dare to come out.
