My name is Lu Yang, I am twenty years old, and I am a second leatherman, although my name is a leather worker, but I am not a tailor who works with leather, but a sewer who works with corpses.

It is unlucky to have no dead corpse in the countryside, the limbs are missing, and the reincarnation in the next life will produce defects, so it is necessary to have someone to sew up the corpse for it.

As for why I chose this profession, it has to start with my birth.

That night was the lower moon, the miserable white moonlight poured down, and the trees on the side of the road were faint, like ghosts with teeth and claws.

In the distance, a horse-drawn carriage approached and stopped outside a small courtyard.

The moonlight passed, and a roll of straw mats was on the cart, bulging like a human shape.

The cool breeze blows, and a few strands of hair dance with the wind, weird and infiltrating.

The cart stopped, and the cart man stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Knock... Knock·· Boom. ”

The dull sound spread far and wide, startling the night birds in the woods.

After a while, a steady footstep sounded inside the door.

The old and disrepaired door, "creaks" open from the inside.

Inside the door was a middle-aged man in his forties, the man was wearing a black jacket, a pair of leather gloves on his hands, and his eyelids were pulled to cover most of his eye sockets.

"It's delivered."

The outsider nodded hurriedly, took out a cloth bag and handed it to the middle-aged man.

"Uncle Lu, I'm sorry for you."

"Bring it in!"

When the mat entered the courtyard, the two saw the corpse on the ground, their hands trembled slightly, and the mat almost fell to the ground.

A faint voice rang out and fell on the ears of the two.

"If you shouldn't see it, don't watch it."

The two of them hurriedly stopped looking at each other, sweat streaming down their heads.

The mattress is on the floor.

My dad looked at it.

"Alright, I'll pick it up tomorrow night."

The two of them ran out for a long distance as if they had been amnestied, and a breeze blew, and their backs were wet and shivering.

My dad didn't open the mat, and he still had two stitches left to make up for it.

The whimpering wind was blowing, and the leaves outside the courtyard rustled, like crying with a sense of grievance.

"Smack."

A voice rang out, and my dad looked to where it had come from.

Under the miserable white moonlight, the straw mat opened widely, revealing the true appearance of the woman.

The woman's face was pale, her eyes were closed, her black hair was messy over her face, and there was a severed arm beside her, which my father was trying to repair.

However, his eyes did not fall on the severed arm, but only at the woman's towering belly, which moved with the night wind under the moonlight.

My father's eyes widened and he thought he was dazzled, and he walked over curiously, lowered his head and put his ear on his bulging belly.

"Whoa."

It was obvious that there was movement inside, and Lu Laosan looked sorry.

"It's a pity that the fetus is full-term, the soul is full-foot, but it can't see the light of day."

Lu Laosan put his hand on the woman's belly, sighed quietly, and withdrew his hand for a moment, but he didn't want to be pushed down.

He looked back at the appearance of the female corpse, and he had already made a decision in his heart.

My dad got up and came back with three sticks of incense.

"The child is innocent, it's pitiful to go with you, whether you let him come out or not, yes or no."

Lu Laosan lit three incense sticks, and the cyan smoke went straight up to the sky, without any obstruction or deviation.

It's agreed.

Lu Laosan moved quickly, his hand raised and fell, and a faint cry resounded in the small courtyard.

It's just that the child is a yin child, and today is the next Xuanyue, and the yin qi is heavy, and I don't know if I can grow up safely.

The next night the two men came to collect the body.

My dad took me out and told me where I came from.

The two of them did not show a trace of joy, and looked at me with a look of horror.

"This... Can this kid have it? ”

My dad glanced at him.

"The child is heavy and easy to be sneaky, and nothing else has much effect."

The man's brows furrowed, and his face was bitter.

"I ····· Don't you can't do it, can't you ”

My dad had already guessed this.

"You don't want to, I will raise the child, and he will only have me as a father in the future, so you can't come to entangle."

The man nodded hurriedly, how could he care if he was his own son.

"I won't, the child will follow you from now on, if I break my oath, the sky will thunder."

I just stayed here.

When I was five years old, I crept down the window to watch my dad mend the corpse, which was my first exposure to these things, and I was so scared that I had a high fever that night.

My mind was full of severed limbs and glowing needles.

It's cold and there's no trace of heat.

My father was scared half to death, and took me everywhere to see the doctor, but I was still losing weight day by day, and my father had no choice but to lead me to find the king goddess.

"This kid has a lot of yin energy, even if he gets good this time, he will be easily entangled by evil in the future."

When my father heard this, he became anxious, and took the king and begged her to save me.

Mrs. Wang and my father have also known each other for many years, so they naturally agreed.

"In fact, if you want your children to live well, there is another way."

As soon as my father heard this, he couldn't wait, so he hurriedly took out his purse and threatened that as long as the Wang Shenpo could save me, my father would be willing to give me as much money as possible.

Goddess Wang shook her head.

"You might as well hand over the skills in your hands to him, and overcome yin with yin, you have a heritage, and the child can live."

My father didn't agree, the craft of the second leatherman is a ninth-rate, yin and heavy, not popular, my father's daughter-in-law was scared away, he was afraid that it would affect me in the future.

He led me home.

Just when my dad thought it was over, I got haunted by sneak peeks.

My dad looked at me and finally made up his mind.

Since then, my father has never avoided me when sewing corpses.

At the age of eighteen, I was able to construct a corpse on my own.

Today happens to be my twentieth birthday, and my dad went to the county seat last night to help mend the body of a child who died tragically.

Said to come back in the morning and give me a life.

I was so happy that I went to the entrance of the village to buy a fish, cut half of a pig's ear, and walked home with my things on my face.

"Lu Yang, your father is dead."

A man's voice came from behind me, and his words startled me, and my heart beat faster in an instant.

I turned my head and glared at the man behind me, "Village chief, what nonsense are you talking about?" Even if we have a special profession, we didn't steal or rob you, why did you curse my father to death? ”

The village chief's face was full of urgency, patted his thigh and said hurriedly: "Eh, I admit that I taboo your profession, but I can't talk nonsense about human life!" Check it out at the pier! Your father's body is on the docks. ”

Listening to the words of the village chief, I suddenly felt five thunderbolts, and the fish and pig ears in my hand fell off my hands and fell to the ground.

"This can't be, my dad was fine yesterday, how can he ......" A line of hot tears flowed from my eyes, and I ran to the dock while wiping my tears along the way.

When I came to the dock crying, I saw a circle of people around the dock, gossiping about death.

I followed the villagers' line of sight, and a human head appeared in the water, a black human head, the head of the person rose and fell with the waves, and a pair of eyes were wide as if they were about to fall out at any time.

"Daddy!" I had just stopped crying, and tears flowed out of my eyes.

A fierce man pounced, and the boundless water surrounded me from all directions, and my body was cold and uncomfortable, but not as cold as my heart.
