Corpse blowers, a mysterious business on the verge of extinction.

As the old saying goes, when you die, you need to be buried in the earth.

What is Ann?

There is a whole corpse for peace!

If you lack arms and legs, you will be taboo and it will easily attract bad luck.

In ancient times, there were two leather craftsmen, morticians and others, who were responsible for sewing and mutilating incomplete corpses, but no matter how well they were sewn, many corpses still could not be restored to their original appearance, and the corpse blowers came into being.

What is a Corpse Blower?

Naturally, the mended corpse will be blown back to its original appearance!

It's best to do this line of work, either with a little disability, or you have to be widowed and lonely, or you are born with both parents, or you have five disadvantages and three deficiencies, otherwise your life is not hard enough, and you can't enter the industry at all.

My grandfather is one of the five disadvantages and three shortcomings, and my parents are even more defeated by me, and both are missing.

It has become my responsibility to find out where they are.

My name is Wu Yu, a native of Guiyou, and I live with my grandfather in Xiaoyu Village in northern Jiangsu, and I am the only two corpse blowers left in the village.

In today's world, all kinds of dead people emerge in an endless stream, and it should have been the time when the corpse blower was prosperous, but unfortunately caught up with the implementation of cremation, and there was a mortuary, and the corpse blower was not prosperous and declined.

My second uncle went to the crematorium in the county and became an undertaker.

In this regard, Grandpa did not stand in the way, because so far there is no corpse blower who can retire peacefully.

Violent death, disappearance, illness, ominous, in short, the ending is very underworld.

Doing the business of the dead, there will always be a corpse, so people from all over the country know us, but they are always unwelcome, and only someone in the family will think of us when they suffer a catastrophe.

For as long as I can remember, my grandfather and I have been looked down upon together, and the people in the village have made irresponsible comments, so my grandfather took me to move and live in a righteous village outside the village.

Yizhuang naturally also has the rules of Yizhuang:

Every time you eat, you have to give them incense.

Every day, you must light three longevity incense, go to the gate, and insert them by the door, these three longevity incense represent their street lamps.

At the time of the child, tear off the talisman attached to the door, light two white candles outside the gate, and shake the golden bell three times to let them know that it is time to return.

In this era, Yizhuang should have been extinct for a long time, but in time to implement cremation and prohibit burial, many people who died in a foreign land were unwilling to be accommodated in the crematorium, or there were no relatives willing to pay for cremation, all of them were transferred to Yizhuang by my second uncle for storage, and my grandfather and I took over the disposal.

When I was a child, I was like a child of the same age, afraid of dead people and coffins, and I felt frightened just by looking at them, let alone getting started, but under my grandfather's belt and stick, I could only honestly follow him to learn some skills in blowing corpses and taking care of Yizhuang.

At the eighteenth of that year, something strange happened in the village, which changed my opinion about my grandfather and the corpse blower, and at the same time, the trajectory of my life also shifted greatly......

One evening in July, the second uncle, who was working as an undertaker in the crematorium in the county, brought another corpse, which was originally a very common thing, but as soon as he passed his hand, the grandfather looked solemn and muttered: "The resentment is really heavy......

The second uncle said with a dry smile: "It is said that he jumped to his death, and no one collected the body, and it was almost stinky after stopping in the crematorium for half a month, and the leader asked me to find a way to deal with it, so I could only transport it here." ”

The corpse was covered with a white cloth, and I couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman, but I saw that she was wearing a bracelet on her wrist and a silk scarf in her hand, and she should be a woman.

Looking at the color and condition of the bracelets and silk scarves, how can a rich man be reduced to Yizhuang?

I was wondering, after the second uncle finished speaking, he got up in a panic and was about to leave, and asked me to take care of my grandfather, after all, my grandfather is old and afraid of something missing.

After sending the second uncle away, the grandfather immediately lifted the white cloth covering the female corpse, and a scarlet strangulation mark on the neck of the female corpse attracted the attention of the two of us.

Obviously, the female corpse did not jump off the building and die as the second uncle said, but was strangled to death!

My grandfather and I looked at each other, about to find out the cause of the female corpse's death.

At this time, Zhang Laohan in the village staggered into Yizhuang, his eyes were straight, and then he let out a terrible scream, and then sat on the ground weakly.

Seeing this, grandpa hurriedly asked Zhang Laohan what happened?

Zhang Laohan slowed down for a long time before getting up from the ground, grabbed his grandfather's hand, and said, "Dead!" ”

Grandpa shook off Zhang Laohan's hand and scolded angrily: "Who are you cursing to death?" ”

Zhang Laohan knew that he was at a loss, so he resignedly said: "My son Zhang Changning got married a few days ago, do you know?" ”

When it comes to this, my grandfather and I pouted at the same time, no matter whether the people in the village are red or white, they won't entertain us, we know or don't know, so what?

Seeing that my grandfather and I both looked strange, Zhang Laohan hesitated a little and continued: "Changning also didn't have that life, he just married a beautiful daughter-in-law, and he died in bed in just a few days...... Alas! ”

I secretly said that this is the death of the peony flower, and I plan to be a merry ghost?

Although this incident is really embarrassing, it has nothing to do with me and my grandfather, and the people who rolled their eyes at me and my grandfather before belong to Zhang Laohan's family!

At times like this, my grandfather and I didn't talk coolly, which was good.

Out of politeness, Grandpa took the initiative to ask, "Why did you die?" ”

"Drowning ......"

When he said this, Zhang Laohan was obviously lacking in confidence, and even his eyes became flickering, I estimated that he was hiding something, afraid that there was something unsightly in it, but I didn't have a good thing to continue to inquire about.

"Since everyone is dead, let's send it to the crematorium in the county, and now burial is prohibited."

Grandpa took out a cigarette, handed it to Zhang Laohan, and said faintly, obviously thinking that Zhang Laohan wanted to be buried and came to Yizhuang to buy a coffin.

Originally, the coffins in Yizhuang had the owner, but there were two empty coffins at the end, grandpa said that this was not for people who died in a foreign land, what was the specific use, and did not tell me, I speculated that Zhang Laohan came for the coffin!

After all, there are no coffins in circulation on the market, and all the dead are sent to the crematorium, and after incineration, they are packed into boxes and sent to the cemetery.

Zhang Laohan hesitated for a long time, but said, "I came here to ...... Please give it a go. ”

Grandpa raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically, "Please let me go?" Why? ”

"This ......"

Zhang Laohan made a mistake again, pinching his knuckles, and the cigarette in his hand was also pinched, "Changning died strangely, he didn't leave a whole corpse, I want you to take a look and blow it." ”

"Are you going to blow up a balloon?"

Grandpa stood up and started a real fire.

In his life, what he hates the most is that others make fun of his profession, listening to Zhang Laohan's tone, he knows that this is obviously a joke.

"It's not!"

Zhang Laohan hurriedly stood up and explained, "I didn't mean that! Changning died unjustly, and a big hole was opened in his stomach! I'm still next to his corpse and picked this up! ”

As he spoke, Zhang Laohan pinched a slender fang and handed it out......
