Chapter 12: The Water Ghost Stand-in
As soon as we entered the gate, we heard a screeching sound.
I raised my head and scolded angrily: "Take care of your own business, don't be blind if you're fine!" ”
The person who spoke just now is the eldest nephew of Deputy Curator Zhao, a relational household, who came in through the back door, and is now a corpse burner like me.
He has a very bad mouth, a big man is like a long-tongued woman who eats melon seeds in the village, and everyone calls him Zhao Tongue.
I don't deal with his uncle, Deputy Curator Zhao, and when the master is there, he will pretend to have a smile on me.
After Master Yunyou left, Deputy Curator Zhao didn't like me anywhere, and even wanted to replace my master as the curator here.
Originally, everyone called him Deputy Director Zhao, but now he directly calls him Director Zhao.
I don't want to get into conflict with them, after all, I'm not the same as them.
"Guan Thirteen, don't think that I'm afraid of you if you're the curator now!"
Zhao's tongue looked arrogant: "My uncle said, I won't let you burn the stove now, you just wait to be kicked out!" ”
"Huh!" I sneered, "It's not sure who's going to be kicked out!" ”
After speaking, I ignored Zhao's tongue and took my little sister directly to the curator's office.
"It's not a problem for you to follow me like this, why don't you get a job in the funeral parlor?"
"Okay." Chu Ling nodded at me very obediently, "I listen to Senior Brother." ”
This soft and cute senior brother made my heart flutter instantly.
I quickly completed the entry procedures for Chu Ling, and when I filled in the position, I asked her: "What career do you think you want to get?" ”
Chu Ling's big eyes flickered twice, and he gently spat out three words: "Undertaker." ”
I was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked her, "Xiaoling, don't you know what the undertaker does?" ”
Chu Ling looked at me like a fool: "I know, I put makeup on the corpse." ”
I tried to persuade her, but I met her gaze and instantly extinguished the fire.
As soon as I make a move, I can put down a man who is 1.8 meters tall and 150 pounds, and I will be afraid of corpses?
Early the next morning, I introduced my little sister to a few people at the funeral home.
After the people from the funeral home gathered, I cleared my throat: "This is the new mortuary, everyone is welcome." ”
"Hello everyone, I'm Chu Ling, a newcomer, please bear with me!"
Chu Ling was originally very cute, and with this soft and cute self-introduction, he instantly captured the hearts of the male compatriots present.
After Deputy Director Zhao knew that she was also my master's apprentice, he did not say anything about it.
He called me aside and said to me in a serious voice: "Xiaoguan, you have also seen it, now there are fewer people in the funeral home who come to us because of your affairs, and you can let the corpse burn go first." ”
I frowned slightly, and said angrily: "Say whatever you want, don't beat around the bush!" ”
Deputy Curator Zhao said solemnly: "That's it, the work of transporting corpses in the past two days is a bit busy, you go and help for two days." ”
There was nothing wrong with what he said, and I couldn't find anything to refute for a while, so I nodded in response.
Just as I was about to go back, he stopped me and gave me an address: "No. 54, Xilin Street, North Chengbei, at ten o'clock this morning, don't forget!" ”
I complained as I walked: "I knew it was no good!" ”
However, there is no way now, the arrears of two million are still weighing on the top of the head.
It doesn't matter who you can't get along with, you can't get along with money.
You can make some money by picking up corpses, but it's far from burning corpses.
Generally, if you burn a corpse, you can also receive some red envelopes from your family.
When I picked up the corpse, I guess I couldn't see even a single hair.
I waited downstairs for a long time before my family came.
The deceased was a young girl, a piano teacher, estimated to be twenty-four or five years old.
The cause of death was accidental overboard, excessive shock, and sudden death from a heart attack.
When I saw the body bag, I thought something was unusual.
The body bag was drenched with water as if it had just been fished out of the water, and the girl was afraid that she was not frightened by falling into the water, but should have seen something.
In this case, the girl's soul should be remembered by the water ghost.
I opened the body bag and looked at it, and the girl inside the bag was covered in water, her limbs were twisted, her stomach was bulging, and her face was blistered.
Subsequently, fearing that the family would have opinions, he hurriedly sealed the body bag and sent it to the car.
After I pulled the body back, I sent the body bag to the primordial spirit.
As soon as he put down the corpse, Zhao Tongue didn't know where he came from, looking like a hanger.
"How long does it take to pick up a corpse? What a piece of rubbish! Zhao said sneeringly on the side.
"It's your business!" After swearing, I was ready to talk to the first spirit about the corpse.
Zhao's tongue came up again: "This corpse has to be assigned to me." ”
"Less troublemaker!" I pushed Zhao's tongue away.
"Guan Thirteen, you can't burn the corpse, and you don't allow others to do it?"
The primordial spirit approached the body bag and opened it with a "stab" sound.
The water droplets splashed Zhao's tongue and face at once.
Zhao wiped his face with his tongue and spitted: "I'm phew!" ”
As soon as the body bag was opened, the fishy smell instantly filled the entire morgue.
The girl was bloated, and her face was even more pale, and she couldn't see her true face at all.
His lips turned purple, but his eyes were wide open, and his two white eyes stared at Zhao's tongue.
"Ahh As soon as Zhao Tongue looked up, he saw the two white eyes, and he almost jumped three feet high in fright.
"If you call again, get out!" Looking at his unproductive appearance, I can't wait to throw people out directly.
Zhao's tongue didn't burn the corpse for a long time, but he was bold and not afraid to see the corpse.
But this corpse was a little infiltrating, Zhao Tongue was holding his hands on the wall, he couldn't stand at all, and his face was covered with cold sweat.
"Look at your cowardice!" I couldn't help but laugh, "It's not promising!" ”
Zhao's tongue didn't refute me, and his tongue seemed to be curled, and he trembled away.
I carefully removed the body from the body bag.
The corpse was highly decomposed, with a bulging chest and abdomen, and a green glow.
"Can you handle it?" Obviously, the little junior sister also found a problem.
I nodded, "No problem." ”
As the name suggests, a water ghost is a person who has drowned in the water and has become a ghost, and can only stay in the water.
If it wants to be reincarnated, it must find a stand-in.
If no one drowns for a long time to replace them, they will find a way to lead people to the water's edge, deliberately causing people to drown.
I noticed a blackened handprint on the girl's neck, just as I had guessed.
This girl is the stand-in that the water ghost is looking for.
Suddenly, the surrounding environment changed.
I saw a young and beautiful girl sitting next to the piano, her fingers flying on the black and white keys, playing a very strange tune.
The voice was sharp and high-pitched, as if calling for something.
