Chapter 13: Out of the Black
"If you talk about it, anyone will."
I followed the voice, and at some point, Chen Jiayan hugged his shoulders and stood next to the curator.
Including Liu Shan, everyone set their eyes on Chen Jiayan.
I looked at her intently, and I couldn't make out what she meant.
Liu Shan hurriedly nodded and agreed: "No, such a big thing, you can't joke!" ”
"If you want me to say, it's a mule or a horse, you have to come out and slip."
As soon as I heard this, I immediately reacted that she was helping me.
However, we have only met once, and we have said no more than ten sentences, and she dares to believe me?
Could it be that I am being amorous?
The curator frowned, and turned his head to look at Chen Jiayan: "If something happens to this, our reputation will be ruined!" ”
Chen Jiayan turned his head to look at the curator: "Believe me once, let him try." ”
I don't know what the relationship between her and the curator is, he hesitated for a while, and actually agreed!
I suddenly had a feeling that the water in this funeral parlor was not ordinarily deep.
Everyone's relationship is complicated, and it takes a lot of effort to make a name for yourself here.
Counting this time, Chen Jiayan has already helped me twice, and I am very grateful.
But I firmly believe that there is no good in this world for no reason.
There are things that are not wrong to be careful.
I glanced at Chen Jiayan gratefully, then turned to the family and shouted.
"Go to the Hall of Condolence."
Mr. Guiding is called "out of the black" in the industry.
To do this work, you don't necessarily have to be a professional Taoist.
In the past, tailors, cooks, and the like could be a guide whenever the opportunity came.
Especially the poor people, they can't afford to do the sea and land puja, they can only recite the "Master Sutra", and these people who chant the scriptures are not monks and Taoists.
It's street vendors, vegetable sellers, sugar gourd sellers, as long as they have a loud voice.
These things are really not difficult for me, but we are also serious Taoists.
When I arrived at the condolence hall, the old lady who was angry last night was now lying peacefully in the flowers.
I can't help but sigh at Chen Jiayan's craftsmanship, which is really amazing.
Without hesitation, I picked up the yellow sheet paper from the ground, wrote the deceased's birthday with a brush, and pasted it on the door.
This is called the Yin and Yang List of Souls, which is shown to the living during the day and told to relatives and friends.
Show the wandering little ghosts at night, there is a newcomer in this house, don't come and make trouble.
Then, I erected soul locks and soul flags on the left and right sides of the door, these two things were used to show the way to the dead, so that the first seven would not find their way home.
After everything was done, I looked up and saw Chen Jiayan hiding in the crowd, his eyes sweeping over me from time to time.
The feeling of being watched made me uncomfortable, and I waited for the banner to be planted, and then looked back at the crowd.
"Don't look at the rest, and come back when you are called."
For this kind of thing, the family members basically cooperated 100%, and Chen Jiayan also walked out with the crowd.
I could clearly feel that her eyes were still on me at the last moment of the door.
I'm sure it's not a delusion.
When they were all gone, I placed the mourning basin at the old lady's feet, and I added stacks of yellow paper.
A moment later, the room was filled with smoke, and I took the yellow paper and slid it over the old lady's features.
"The eyes are open, look in all directions, there is light in the west this time."
"The ears are open, and the eight directions are smooth, and this time the west will go back to Yinxiang."
……
No one knows what is going on with this old lady better than me.
The consecration ceremony went smoothly, and when I finished reading the consecration words, the yellow paper in the basin had not yet been burned, which showed that the old lady was walking smoothly.
I dug up a bit of the rice in front of the body and placed it in the southwest corner.
"The gentleman passing by eats, eats, don't make trouble."
After saying that, I opened the door, called the family members in, and instructed them a few words, and tomorrow I will prepare to enter the funeral, and the green oxen and white horses, boys and girls are ready.
As soon as I went out, I saw Chen Jiayan, who was wearing a black suit, standing by the window with a smile on his face.
When she smiled, two dimples appeared on her face, coupled with a pair of apricot blossom eyes full of aura, it was hard not to be impressed.
However, I still have my sanity and know what to do.
Since she is here, she is waiting for me, I definitely can't hide from it, it is better to be generous, just to see what path she has.
"It's going well inside?"
I laughed dryly: "It's going well, it's going well." ”
Chen Jiayan still hugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "You are a corpse worker, and your ability is not small." ”
In and out of words, it was a little ridiculous, and a little like a compliment, and I couldn't tell what she meant.
Simply, I pretended to be stupid and laughed: "What kind of ability, I haven't eaten pork, we've seen pigs run!" ”
"However, I admire you a lot, it's not easy for a girl to dare to be an undertaker!"
Chen Jiayan's face changed obviously, and then he returned to normal, squeezing out a smile.
"It's all work, it's the same for everything."
"By the way, from yesterday to today, you helped me twice, you wait for me to pay your salary, you must thank you well!"
Chen Jiayan smiled and waved his hand: "It's a lot of effort." ”
"But why were you in the morgue last night?"
I unconsciously rubbed the tip of my nose: "I carried the person over yesterday, and I stopped there for a while." ”
"Then I fell, and you came in."
"Really?"
Chen Jiayan smiled and asked, "How do I remember that it was Master Liu's back last night?" ”
After a pause, Chen Jiayan patted his head and muttered to himself: "Maybe I remembered wrongly." ”
"You're busy, I'll go first."
Chen Jiayan gave me a feeling of imminent separation, and I couldn't guess what she was going to do......
