Chapter 50: The Junction of Yin and Yang
A corpse wants to look good?
Isn't that hard for me?
I'm not a beautician.
But I didn't agree, and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to complete the point smoothly, so I had to agree with it.
But when I saw the body, I instantly regretted it!
The body of the man was so swollen that it propped up the body bag, and as soon as he carefully opened the zipper, it slid straight to the bottom with a 'squeak'.
Then a body that floated to translucent was impressive.
Probably because the body was too full of water, the face was completely deformed.
The whole looks like over-fermented steamed buns.
I accidentally pressed the cheek of the corpse, and I actually pressed a depression directly.
Because of the poor rebound, the turmeric liquid oozing from the pores overflowed the depression in an instant.
Fortunately, after -4, the next twelve morgues were quiet.
So, I successfully finished the roll call before one o'clock.
Hurriedly packing everything, I turned and left.
But as soon as he arrived at the door, he was stopped by the eloquent voice of -4.
"Stand ......"
"I promised you, what else do you want?"
I froze in place, not daring to turn my head.
"I mean to tell you...... I'm just going to help you settle tonight...... You're going to have to bless yourself every night from now on......"
"What?" I was agitated, and hurriedly turned to look at the tightly closed -4 morgue. "I promised to help you look good, but you actually went back on your word with me! Isn't the ghost amazing? Can't ghosts be untrustworthy? ”
"On the premise that you help me look good, I can only make sure that I don't make a fuss......"
"What's the difference?"
"The difference is that there is one less ghost to toss you...... Hey, hey, hey......"
Woo, why am I so unlucky?
After glancing at the morgue in a huffy manner, I turned away in frustration.
I was sleepy when I was reading books, but now I am suddenly refreshed.
So, I just continued to study.
However, No. 4 can be regarded as true to his word, and there was no strange movement in the funeral home this night.
When I opened the door at six o'clock in the morning, I happened to see Director He walking towards me.
"Curator He!"
With a shout, I rushed over.
"Whoa!" Curator He held up two eco-friendly bags, "Quanjude's roast duck, make breakfast for you!" ”
"How can anyone eat roast duck early in the morning?"
"There are also bean juice and coke rings, and I don't know if you are used to eating or not, so I specially asked Lao Chen to boil a cup of papaya stewed snow clams, I heard that it is good for the girl's body! You need to use your brain to study, you really need to nourish more! ”
What is this called?
Originally, I wanted to protest to Curator He, but I was almost speechless after a sugar-coated cannonball!
No way!
I can't be blinded by supplies, after all, life is the most important thing.
"Director He, I have something to talk to you about!"
"Don't think about resigning!" Curator He's positive color.
"It's not!" I hurriedly waved my hand, "You must sit down and talk to me face to face!" ”
Curator He frowned, ripped off his sleeves and looked at the watch on his wrist.
He then looked up at me and nodded lightly.
……
When I arrived in the lounge, I poured a cup of tea for Curator He.
Waiting for Curator He to finish drinking slowly, he sat down opposite him.
"You know that those Group B guests in the morgue will 'come to life' as soon as they get to roll call, right?"
Actually, I wanted to say 'deceitful corpse', but I didn't dare after thinking about it for a long time.
"Hmm!"
"Huh?"
Curator He let out a light 'um', which made me even more annoyed.
"Why else should I ask you to name me?" Curator He spread his hands solemnly.
"You should have told me to be mentally prepared!"
"What do you need to be mentally prepared for? Can they still notify you in advance of such a haunting? If you don't tell you, you will be able to adapt to change! As it turns out, you've been put to the test! ”
"But...... But not only did they embarrass me, but I also made rude demands to me! ”
"What requirements?" Curator He suddenly looked curious.
"-4 asked me to help him look good!"
"Ouch, that's hard!" Curator He smacked his lips, "This -4 is a drowned giant, and the whole bubble is no longer human-shaped!" The word good-looking will never have anything to do with him! ”
"So what should I do? Don't you have a beautician here? ”
"Yes!" Curator He pouted, "But I'm scared away!" When he was doing beauty treatment for a guest, he suddenly sat up and sang a big sedan chair! How am I going to be round when you tell you this lie? Did he accidentally swallow a Bluetooth headset before he died? ”
"That's right!" I nodded approvingly, "If you don't speak, you can lie to her that it's a muscle reflex!" ”
"That's right!" Director He sighed, "The funeral home that scared the child, I thought about bringing some gifts to visit in person, but I found out that she blocked me!" ”
"What about me?" I pointed to my nose, "I'm here to guard the door!" ”
"Don't you have a lot of skills!" Curator He smiled, "No, we will study!" ”
"Learn?" My eyes widened, "Do you think this is cooking instant noodles?" Will you learn it? ”
"Hey, you can't say that! In fact, it's not easy to cook! It had to boil the water before ......"
"Director He, don't fight me haha!" I reached out to the calendar on the wall, "And what about this?" Why do calendars and phone times always show up in the mid-year? ”
"What kind of place is the funeral home?" Curator He put away his smile and looked at me seriously.
"A place to bid farewell to the deceased!"
"People go through many stages in their lives, and this is their last journey! Cremate the corpse of the yang world, and the out-of-body soul enters the underworld. Yang turns to yin, yin to yang. Therefore, the funeral home can be regarded as the junction of yin and yang! ”
"Yin and Yang Junction?"
"That's right!" Curator He nodded slightly, "The souls of those corpses who have not been buried in the ground cannot rest in peace, and this has become their temporary shelter." The time at the junction of yin and yang has been kept at the mid-year festival because the yin qi will be more prosperous than usual on the day when the ghost gate is wide open, which can prevent them from being damaged by the overly victorious yang qi, although this is nominally the junction of yin and yang, but after all, it is still the territory of the yang world. ”
"I see!" I muttered a nod and suddenly remembered something. "But why don't you send them to the ground?"
"Only family members can bring the deceased to earth, and those in the morgue are the remains of the ownerless." Director He's face was gloomy, "Originally, the nameless corpses had a fixed storage period in the funeral home, and they could be treated without pollution when the time came, but I think they are pitiful, so I left them until now." ”
Speaking of this, Director He stared at me intently.
"Xiao Shen, cremating them is only a matter of minutes, but the remains that do not enter the ground will become lonely ghosts forever after being cremated!"
"Curator, I sympathize with them too! But who sympathizes with me? I'm a little girl......"
"I'll give you a raise!"
Before I could finish speaking, Director He raised a finger.
"Add to 10,000?"
In an instant, my eyes lit up.
"Are you a money junkie?" Curator He frowned, "I mean to add an extra hundred yuan to you every month!" ”
"Deal!"
I grabbed Director He's fingers, for fear that he would regret it.
"You're not only a money fan, you're also a money-goer!" Curator He sighed, "Let's go, I'll send you to school!" ”
