Chapter 42: Wang Bantou
Wang Fugui is now in the prime of life, his half-white hair is wrapped in gray cloth, and his face is full of wrinkles. After his wife died early, he left a son, and he was alone, and he raised the child with a handful of and urine. It wasn't until his son, Wang Eryun, married a wife and had children, and he hugged his grandson, that he lived a good life for a few years.
But there are unforeseen circumstances, and it is also his fate. Five years ago, his son Wang Eryun took his daughter-in-law back to his parents' house, but he met a horse thief, and the two couples died in Huangquan. He sent the white-haired man to the black-haired man, and he was hit hard.
Fortunately, the little grandson, who was just over a year old, was sick and inconvenient to take to his parents' house, and Wang Fugui took care of it at home, so he was spared. Wang Fugui, who is over half a hundred years old, has taken on the heavy responsibility of raising his grandson.
Wang Fugui sat motionless behind a long table at the door of the morgue, on which there were some papers and ink pens.
When he was young, his family was wealthy, he went to school in the academy, and he also took the children's examination. It's just that there has been a drastic change in the family, and his father is a gambler, and he lost the land and house left by his ancestors. In the end, he borrowed a loan shark, let go of Yibo and wanted to turn over the book, but in the end he also lost a clean light, and he had no face to see his family commit suicide by throwing himself into the river.
The old lady in the family heard the bad news, and when she couldn't afford to get sick, she went with his father. The only remaining old house in the family was also taken away by the loan sharks, and Wang Fugui was young and ambitious at that time, studying hard in the cold window, wanting to gain fame. Hit by this big blow, he became disheartened. Forced by life, with the help of the old master in the school, he got an errand in the county government and has been working until now.
The smell of corpses in the morgue was disgusting, but Wang Fugui, who was at the door, did not move. After decades of staying in the morgue day and night, his nose has long been smoked, and he can no longer smell anything, he can't smell incense.
At this time, Wang Fugui was a little anxious in his heart, and several new corpses were moved in the morgue in the morning, and the magic talisman had not yet been pasted. The talismans of the other dozen corpses have not been replaced for more than ten days. With years of experience, he knew that the old talismans were useless and that he had to reattach the new talismans.
Wang Fugui sat here at dawn and waited, waiting for the arrival or passing by of the Heavenly Master, but the Heavenly Master never showed up, thinking that he would go to find it himself.
This Shen Tianshi often didn't see anyone for a few days, and every time Wang Fugui went to find him by himself, and after finding it, he had to be severely reprimanded by him. Under his begging, he came to the morgue to draw new talismans and label the corpses in the morgue.
Wang Fugui didn't want to see this Shen Tianshi at all, but he had to go to him. You must know that this talisman attached to the dead corpse will become invalid after a long time, and that is not a joke.
As long as one of these corpses is transformed, the others will soon be transformed. This zombie after the transformation does not know the pain, and it is difficult to deal with. Over the years that Wang Fugui has been working in Yizhuang, there have been several corpse changes in Yizhuang, and many people have died each time. It is precisely because of this that Wang Fugui is so anxious in his heart.
Wang Fugui decided that if Shen Tianshi didn't come in another hour, he would go to him. This Shen Tianshi stays in that small snow building every day, and it is easy to find people. It's just that I remembered that the words that Shen Tianshi said yesterday seemed to mean that if he had something to do in the future, he would go to the new young Heavenly Master, which would be difficult to do. The more Wang Fugui thought about it, the more annoying he became.
Liu Yu walked into the thatched house and saw an old servant sitting next to the door. was frowning and thinking about something, and he didn't even notice that a big living person had come in.
A strong smell of corpses came to his nose, and Liu Yu couldn't help but cover his nose with his left hand, which could not alleviate the strong smell. Liu Yu looked into the room, dozens of worn-out mortuary boards were tightly placed in the room, and there were about twenty morgue boards with corpses on them at the moment. There was only one window in the house, which was also firmly closed.
The house is airless, no wonder it stens. The house is very dark, and if you want to see the situation inside, you have to walk inside.
"Old man!" Liu Yu tapped on the wooden table with his hand.
"Ahh
"Master Heaven, you're here. When he saw the appearance of the person who came, was it Liu Tianshi, who had met him yesterday, Wang Fugui was surprised and delighted, and quickly stood up and said.
"What do you call the old man. Liu Yu asked casually.
"Old decay, surnamed Wang, famous and rich, it's good for adults to call me Wang Bantou. Wang Fugui replied immediately.
"Oh, Wang Bantou, I am the newly appointed Heavenly Master, Liu Yu, if anything happens in the future, you can go to the small courtyard not far away to find me, and I heard that Senior Brother said that you are the person in charge of Yizhuang?" Liu Yu asked with a smile.
"My lord, some trivial matters in this Yizhuang are all in charge of the old decay, if there is anything important, it must be reported to the Lin County Order, please Lord Lin decide. Wang Fugui replied respectfully, and then said: "My lord, early in the morning, Zhang Zhukuai in the county found several corpses of people in the rivers and lakes in the alleys at the end of the street, which had been carried back and had not yet been affixed. You see?"
"Let's go inside first, and I'll cast a spell and draw a talisman later. Liu Yu said to Wang Fugui with a nervous face.
"Your Excellency, please be careful, this is a bit messy, I'll ask someone to put it up later." Wang Fugui respectfully led Liu Yu inside.
Wang Fugui's hanging heart was slightly lowered, judging from the relationship just now, this newcomer Liu Tianshi is still very good at talking. His demeanor is gentle and elegant, unlike Shen Tianshi, who has no one in his eyes and is arrogant.
Liu Yuyungong held his breath and followed Wang Fugui to take a closer look at the house. Not only is the room not well lit, but it is also very stuffy. Most of the corpses were unclothed and decomposed. Some of the corpses were rotting and pus, and white maggots were coming and going in and out of the rotting place, looking disgusting.
"Where did these bodies come from, who they are? Liu Yu looked carefully and returned to the door, and asked with a frown.
"My lord, this Yizhuang is still set up by the county government. The corpses inside are roughly divided into three categories, the most common of which is the deceased involved in the case, such as those who were murdered by gangsters and those who were murdered by strongmen. There are also the dead who fought to the death on both sides, and most of them were people in the martial arts. These deceased people must be carried to Yizhuang so that the case can be solved as soon as possible. ”
Seeing Liu Yu listening carefully, Wang Fugui said again: "The second category is the unclaimed people, and most of the dead in this category are homeless, beggars, and so on. Died in the wilderness, died on the streets, most of them died of illness or starvation, and after death they were carried to Yizhuang, but they were left unclaimed for a long time. ”
"There is also a category of people who have been invaded by yin qi and have died of illness, and this kind of people must also be carried to Yizhuang. People who die because of the erosion of yin qi are more likely to be corpses than ordinary people. It is also inconvenient for relatives to open a funeral hall for fear of accidents and accidents. After saying it in one breath, Wang Fugui saw that Liu Yu was still standing, and hurriedly invited him to take a seat.
