We don't just sell urns here. Even incense, candles, paper wax and everything else are sold.

However, most of the family members of the deceased brought their own paper from the bottom of the mountain. I don't like the money we have here!"

Big Wave couldn't help but sneer.

"Then Sister An, you won't sell cheaper. ”

Sister An smiled and spread her hands.

"Guarding the corpse furnace, do we still have to make money by selling burning paper?"

The chief of the security department rubbed his fingers as he spoke.

"Young people now. When the parents were alive, there was little filial piety. This parent died. All of them are the greatest filial sons in the world.

I'm willing to spend it.

Therefore, the income of our funeral home is quite good, even our interns here, a month's salary is cut out of five insurances and one housing fund, and it is not less than 6000. ”

Big Wave pouted. A little unconvinced.

"Is it so easy to make money for the dead now?"

Sister An turned around. Raised his eyebrows haughtily.

"What do you think?

The dead man's money is much better than the living's money. If you look at the current cemetery, that square meter is more expensive than the house price in Yanjing. ”

I couldn't help but sigh out loud.

"I really don't understand the people who buy cemeteries. With so much money, when his parents were alive, he took them out to travel, eat and drink.

Why do people die and make so many names. Labor and money. The old man still didn't enjoy anything. ”

Sister An led us from the lobby of the funeral home and turned left directly.

Not far in front of you is a large double door made of glass.

There was a sign on the door with three big characters written on it.

"Morgue!"

Sister An walked to the door of the corpse room, hugged her arms, and knocked on the door with her hands.

"Sun Changjuan. Open the door for me. ”

Then, Sister An continued to discuss the topic with me.

"Actually, our Northeast is fine. There is not so much attention to the aftermath of death.

We northerners are optimists. only cares about living and being happy, and is not so believing in ghosts, gods, and ancestors.

You don't know when you get to the south.

When I was young, I worked in a funeral parlor in Chaoshan! Chaoshan attached great importance to the dead. What do you have to enter the ancestral ancestral hall after death!

If an elder in the family dies, the funeral will be held for seven days and seven nights.

They also have to worship their ancestors during the New Year's holidays, and they really attach great importance to the sacrifices.

Why are there more patriarchal people over there? Families are desperate to have sons.

It's because of their exquisiteness. The festival must be held by a son. The daughters are all foreigners, and they can't enter their ancestral home!"

I couldn't help but complain.

"Heh! It's a lot. What's the use of these ritual things?"

The big wave stopped me.

"Actually, it is good to revere the ancestors. Why is it that every family in Chaoshan is an explosive household, and the southerners are richer than us in the north.

It's because they pay attention to it. Even before going to the restaurant to eat. The bone plates and cutlery were to be placed in a basin and then poured from top to bottom with tea. They call it money laundering.

How can they be underdeveloped if they talk about their wealth every day?"

We're chatting hotly on our side.

The door to the corpse room suddenly opened.

The door was opened by a woman in a white lab coat and a nurse's mask.

Director An introduced to us.

"This is the undertaker of our funeral home, who specializes in applying makeup to the body. Sun Changjuan, the technology is very good. ”

I didn't bother to nod to him.

"Hello Sister Sun!"

The woman leaned sideways. Please let us in.

He must not have known. Behind us were three female ghosts full of red meat.

Sun Changjuan took us into the corpse.

In this large room of more than 20 square meters. Bodies covered with white cloth were parked.

In the center of the room, there are three morgues.

Curator An pointed to the three beds.

Ask.

"These are the three corpses sent by the Public Security Bureau last night!"

Sun Changjuan nodded.

"It's not that you call me this morning. I'll come here in a hurry. It's not started yet, I just glanced at the corpse. The amount of work that needs to be repaired is quite large. I guess it's going to be an hour of drumming. ”

The security manager explained to us.

"Makeup for corpses like we do here. It's not just about putting on powder, lipstick.

The main thing is to be a tailor, able to sew some broken joints together. It's a technical job.

Just like Xiao Sun, he is an old employee of our funeral home. Make-up touch-up techniques are the best.

That's why I called him here so you can see him at work later!"

I tugged at the sleeve of my wavy coat. Ask her.

"Makeup isn't free here, is it? ”

Big Wave patted his trouser pocket.

"What's the face? I've paid for it. Do you really think that face can be used for money?"

Curator An smiled.

"Our mortuary here, makeup has to be commissioned. People just do this to earn money!

Look at the corpses around the corners. What kind of car accidents are they, wars, unclaimed corpses.

Like these, we generally don't care. Pile it up in the corner and park it for a few days, meaning.

Wait until you pick a free day and cremate them together. Forget it!"

Dare to love, after this person dies, the last decency. It's all in exchange for money.

Money is really a good thing, when you are alive, you can buy a car, buy a house, buy a woman, buy love.

When you die, you can buy a cemetery, an urn, and a decent place for yourself.

Sister Sun took out a few thick masks from the iron shelf wardrobe next to her. Leave it to us.

"This is a sterile space, so you better put on your masks. Otherwise, when you see a corpse, it will smell like a corpse. I'm afraid you won't be able to accept it for a while. ”

Big Wave and I took the masks and hurriedly covered our mouths.

Seeing this, Director An smiled at us.

"I know you're following things. It's not convenient for me to stay here for a long time, so you can do whatever you want. I still have to deal with a few things. ”

Big Wave nodded and sent Sister An away.

This mortuary named Sun Changjuan seems to have a somewhat depressed personality.

From the time we came in until now. He didn't say a word to us at all.

Just with his head down, he was fiddling with the tools in his makeup case.

I stepped forward with the big waves.

Looking at his makeup case, there is lipstick powder. Blush, wire. There's also a big box of stuff I don't know what it is.

Big Wave looked at these cosmetics. Suddenly surprised.

"Oh, isn't this Givenchy, and now even the dead wear big-name lipstick!"

Sun Changjuan finally spoke.

"This lipstick has good coverage and can not only color the lips. It can also be used as a substitute for blush.

It can bring the face of the deceased to life. ”

Big Wave nodded in surprise.

"Well, like my three friends. The skin on their bodies...... , you know. What do you need to do about that?"

Sun Changjuan explained.

"In this case, we usually use wax clay to simulate the shape of a human face. It's like putting a mask on a corpse.

I can restore the appearance of the corpses as much as possible according to the bones of their corpses.

However, time is tight. I was only able to reproduce their faces. As for the whole torso, when the time comes, help them put on a few shrouds and cover them with clothes. ”

Big Wave had no choice but to nod.

"It's all because I didn't think about it well. Then I'll go buy a shroud now. ”

Sun Changjuan pointed to the funeral parlor lobby outside the door.

"We have some for sale here, and I think the three corpses are quite quiet.

I heard that they were all young girls. You can just buy the kind of pure black, the smallest size shroud. ”

Big Wave nodded. Walk out of the door of the corpse with the purse.

I followed three female ghosts. Surrounded by the morgue in the middle.

These three female ghosts must be very excited in their hearts. They can see the last side of themselves, but they look at the flesh with their souls.

Sun Changjuan prepared a cart. Put your own makeup case on the cart. The first to see one of the corpses was to lift the white cloth from it.

When looking at a bloody face. I couldn't tell who of the three female ghosts he was.

I saw that Qian Xiaoxiao's body suddenly trembled, and she stepped forward silently.

Perhaps this is the telepathy of the soul and the body. Even if the flesh is already blurred. Even if you can't tell what they look like. But he could still sense that it was himself lying there.
