I took a bite of the fragrant pancake and said with a smile, "This funeral parlor is a place to say goodbye to the dead, and it's really nothing special." ”

The uncle continued to shake his head: "You little baby is young and ignorant, other funeral homes may not have anything to do, so you can't go to Ronghua Funeral Home!" ”

I became curious: "Is there anything special about the Ronghua Funeral Home, why can't I go?" ”

Uncle looked at me and said, "You have a lot of problems." We usually have dead people here, and they are all sent to Changfu Funeral Home, and no one will go to that glory. ”

I said "Huh" and said, "We still have a funeral home in Sanhua District?" ”

The uncle nodded and said, "No, cremation has been popular in recent years, and business is booming." ”

I'm strange, the funeral parlor is not a restaurant, it is enough to open one in one area, and Sanhua District is not a big area, how can you open two at once?

The uncle snorted and said, "That Ronghua usually no one goes at all, but if someone dies, everyone forgets to send the long blessing." ”

I'm even more confused. The funeral parlor is not, the basic specifications are almost the same, where is there such a big gap. He asked, "Could it be that Ronghua's service is particularly poor?" ”

The uncle shook his head and said, "I don't know about this." Anyway, I heard people say that that place is deserted all day long, there is no business, and there is a lot of ghosts, and good people must not go. ”

But in the end, under my soft grinding and hard soaking, Uncle Pancake still pointed out the location of Ronghua Funeral Home. After walking out of here, five or six miles to the suburbs, I finally saw the Ronghua funeral parlor I was looking for in a low grove. It's very empty around here, there are not many people, and there are rocky beaches on the left and right.

This is also normal, what family wants to live near the funeral home?

I didn't meet anyone along the way, it was deserted, and from time to time I only saw a few black crows passing overhead, making a few ahhhhhhhh Most people hate crows, but to me, there is a bit of a closeness. Because they are very similar to the people in our profession, they all represent death, they are taboo, they wander on the edge of the gray world.

When I got closer, I saw the original appearance of this funeral home. Quite a large field, the houses are high and low, and the dark yellow wall is surrounded by two people high, and the wall is crawling with vines such as wall creepers, which at first glance look green. The walls were damp and dark, and the foot of the wall was covered with a thick layer of moss. In the middle is a large iron door, rusty.

I stood outside the door, and I reached out and pushed the iron door, and there was a thud, and it was locked from the inside. The iron door was cold and wet to the touch, as if it had been stained with dew all night.

This is a bit strange, it is said that these days are sunny days every day, the air is very dry, and it is impossible to get dew at night, on the way before, a lot of dead leaves have been sunburned, almost a spark can be lit, where does this iron gate come from so much water vapor?

Look at this wall again, there are also drops of water hanging on the wall.

I stepped forward and slapped a few times on the iron door, shouting, "Anyone?" Is anyone there? ”

There was no response for half a day. I took a few more shots, and it was still the same, and there was no movement in it. I wonder if this funeral parlor has been abandoned, and that job posting has long expired?

I took out the piece of paper and looked at it again to confirm that the notice had only been posted more than half a month ago. I waited outside for a while, and no one answered when I patted the door, and I couldn't wait, but when I saw that there was no one around, I climbed up the iron gate. The iron gate was no more than two people tall, and it was easy to climb over. It's just that the iron bar touches the body, it's surprisingly cold, and it's always a little weird.

Jumping down from the iron gate, as soon as I fell into the wall, I immediately felt a stuffiness in my chest, only to feel a cold air current, as I landed, it seemed to stir up a small whirlwind, the back of my neck was cold, and my whole body was cold.

The tallest house here is only three floors, and more of them are one-story bungalows, and the walls are all dark yellow, some like the color of old paper. There was no special smell in the air, unlike some of the funeral homes I had dealt with before.

The funeral parlors I've been to before, there is always a smell of incense and candles that can't be removed after entering the door. Because there will always be a place in the funeral home, which is used for the family of the deceased to burn incense and mourn, light a candle, burn some paper money ingots or something. However, the smell of incense and candles was different from that in the temple, perhaps it was mixed with the smell of embers after the refining of the dead.

But there is no such special smell here. Inhaled into the nasal cavity, it is cool and silky, revealing a dampness. Standing inside the fence and outside the wall, it is obvious that two temperatures are felt.

At this time, it was already more than seven o'clock, the sun had already risen, and the temperature was already quite high, but inside the wall, it was cool, and even the sun in the sky seemed to have lost its power, and the sun fell softly.

I couldn't help but feel alarmed. The reason for this phenomenon is obviously caused by the excessive yin energy in this place. I have encountered a similar situation with my third uncle before, but it was in some special places in the mountains. The cold air in this place is not naturally formed, but comes from the yin qi seeping out of the ground.

This is different from the air conditioning caused by the air conditioner or refrigerator, if a normal person stays in a place with too much yin qi for a long time, he will be weak and sick, and he will be mentally disturbed and hallucinate.

It seems that the business of this Ronghua funeral home is not unreasonable, the funeral home is an unlucky place, plus the yin qi is so heavy, ordinary people will feel uncomfortable when they come, and they will avoid it. I don't know what the people who built the funeral home thought in the first place, and why they chose such a place.

I walked around for a while, but I didn't touch anyone, and if it weren't for the neatness of the ground, which was obviously cleaned every day, I would have thought it was a deserted place. I shouted a few more times, but no one responded, so I just wandered around casually.

We do this business for a living, and we often go to the funeral home on weekdays, so we are no strangers to the pattern inside. This Ronghua is obviously an old funeral home, the houses are very old, and they have been used for many years, but the funeral parlors, the functions are all there, and they are basically the same.

Although the house of this Ronghua funeral parlor is old, the place is very large, and it took me a lot of time to go around. All the way through, inside the entire wall, there was only a small bungalow in the northeast corner and a small patch of yellow mud in the southwest corner, and the level of yin qi seemed to be normal, and there was no such eerie feeling.

I couldn't help but be a little dazed, thinking to myself that all the funeral homes were on holiday today, and I didn't see a single human hair, but even if it was a holiday, someone should be on duty.

I walked around and saw a bungalow next to it, with dark red paint on the door, and at a glance it was a little bloody, as if it had been smeared with blood. It's really strange, the most taboo in the general funeral home is to engage in red, especially this bloody color.

Anyway, I couldn't find anyone, so I walked up a few steps to see what kind of room it was. But as soon as I got closer, I smelled something else.

It is the taste of cinnabar. It turned out that the door was not painted with red paint, but cinnabar. In our industry, cinnabar is a commonly used thing to ward off evil spirits, and it is extremely widely used, such as some ghost charms, exorcism charms, etc., most of which are written with cinnabar. To be honest, this is the first time I've seen someone in a funeral parlor with a cinnabar lacquered door.

On the door hung a log-colored wooden plaque with two words written in black ink: "Mortuary." ”

The mortuary, in layman's terms, is the morgue. In our industry, most people are still more accustomed to following the old customs and like to call it a mortuary. It's just that few funeral homes now call morgues mortuary, because for the general public, this name is a bit unintuitive.

I have always been the most familiar with this place, and every time I received a business before, I had to go to the mortuary once, so I can say that I am very familiar with the way.

I also inadvertently reached out and pushed it on the door, and actually let me push it open. The door was hidden and not locked.

I couldn't help but give a bad review in my heart, such an important place in the mortuary would forget to lock the door, it seems that the management of this glory is really not very good.
