Chapter Twenty-Four: Burning the Corpse of Liu

I was leaning back in my chair as I lamented the experience of the day.

A deep middle-aged man's voice sounded outside the car:

"Hey! New here, what are you still grinding about? Don't come down and carry the corpse yet! ”

Hearing the shout, I hurriedly turned my head to look.

Outside the car stood an uncle of medium height, bald, wearing a tan waist and rain boots, with a cigarette in his mouth.

Looking at the dress, it should be the "cremator" in the museum.

I heard Chang Laosan say, what is the name of the cremator in our funeral home "Burning Liu".

It should be this middle-aged man.

This dress and physiognomy must be something to mess with.

"Here comes uncle!"

Quickly opened the car door and walked down.

When the middle-aged man saw me get out of the car, he complained:

"Look at what time it is, I haven't come back until now.

I'm still waiting to go home and help my kids with their homework! ”

I didn't take it to heart, but replied with a smile:

"I'm sorry uncle. This corpse is not very peaceful, I was in trouble on the road, and the tires of the car also burst, so it was delayed for a lot of time. ”

As I spoke, I had opened the rear door with the key.

The middle-aged uncle saw that I had a good attitude, and glanced at the spare tire that was rotated up, and his attitude eased a lot:

"Sharp, I'm in a hurry to get off work."

After that, he came over to help.

But as soon as he reached the back door, he saw the corpse of the woman who I had suppressed with a charm, and the hair of the corpse that was scattered.

He was slightly stunned, then turned to look at me and said:

"You pressed this talisman?"

"I pressed it, and I wasted a lot of hands and feet."

I spoke truthfully, but I didn't elaborate.

People who can work in a funeral home are certainly not simple.

The middle-aged uncle squinted, looked at the charm I put on the forehead of the female corpse, and said with a not-so-good-looking smile:

"Yes, boy, a little trick.

No wonder on your first day at work, the curator dared to let you collect the body alone.

Not bad.

Come on! Push her out. ”

The middle-aged uncle smiled and spoke, except for Chen Zan, who was to me, he didn't care too much about the female corpse.

Came to the carriage, quickly unfastened the buckle that fixed the cart, and pushed the cart and the body out.

When I got to the ground, the middle-aged uncle lit another cigarette and said to me:

"Boy, push the corpse in."

After speaking, the middle-aged uncle walked to the morgue with a cigarette in his mouth.

"Okay."

I replied and pushed the cart along.

It is a passage more than ten meters long leading to the morgue, with only three dim small lights.

The middle-aged uncle led the way in front.

Because he was wearing a leather scarf and rain boots, he walked with a "click" sound, and the "sizzle" sound of the wheels of the cart was particularly harsh in this passage.

Just halfway through, the middle-aged man spoke again:

"Boy, what's your name?"

He didn't look back, his voice was deep and full of energy, enjoying the pleasure of swallowing clouds and spitting mist.

"Uncle, my name is Li Xu."

"Hmmm! I am the corpse burner in the museum, and others call me Corpse Burner Liu.

The mortuary and cremation are all under my control.

In the future, all the corpses you go out to collect must be pushed into the morgue with my permission.

Also, my stove, don't touch it......"

When he said the last few words, Liu turned around and stared at what I said very seriously.

Although I am new to the industry, I also know that there are many taboos when dealing with the dead.

These can be seen from the detailed explanation of the exorcism left by my godfather.

I nodded along with it:

"Understand Uncle Liu!"

Hearing my response, Liu said "um" again and stopped talking.

Led me, we soon arrived at the morgue.

In my impression, the morgue should be the kind of iron cabinet in the movie.

Push the corpse in, then freeze.

But the morgue of our Phoenix Mountain Funeral Home is a little different.

This is a large ice vault.

As the thick iron gate opened, I only felt a chill coming, and the white air kept coming out.

Liu turned on the electric light and motioned for me to push the body in.

The "squeak" of the wheels is constant.

I pushed the body into the morgue.

But as soon as I walked into the morgue, I was stunned by what I saw.

I saw that in the morgue, there were more than a dozen coffins of different shapes and colors.

These coffins are all special.

Near the door are five green wood coffins.

The whole body is cyan and there are no patterns.

Even the word Shou was not written.

Behind the green wood coffin, there are four black wooden coffins.

The two phoenix patterns, the two dragon patterns, the carving is delicate and delicate, lifelike.

In the back, there are three white sarcophagi, which appear to be hewn out of marble.

The coffin is white throughout, and there is no carving on the coffin.

Only on the lid of the coffin, there is a bulging beast with angry eyes.

Later, there are two iron coffins wrapped around large iron chains and sealed with four iron locks.

At first glance, this coffin is not simple, and if you can put the corpse in it, I'm afraid it's not easy to mess with.

But the most striking thing is the coffin at the very end, which is also the largest coffin in the entire morgue.

This coffin was twice the size of the rest.

The four corners are bent outward, all of which are dragon heads.

The entire coffin is wrapped around four relief dragon bodies.

Those spare spaces are filled with scriptures.

Even if you look at it, you will know that this coffin is not simple.

Seeing that I was in place, Liu looked at the big coffin with his eyes, and smiled at the corner of his mouth.

Some proudly spoke:

"Art, it's all my art.

The innermost bite is my masterpiece, my favorite work.

It is also the most powerful coffin in our museum, the four dragons bronze coffin.

It's a pity that it hasn't come in handy for years......"
