Chapter 3 003: Dark Nursery Rhyme

After finishing her work in the farewell hall, when she returned to the office, Sister Zhou discovered that the sleeves of her business collar were scratched and there were blood stains on the fabric of her clothes, which had all dried up.

"What's wrong with your hand?"

"Hands?" The business leader raised his arms and looked around.

Sister Zhou quickly held her left hand and examined it carefully: "The clothes inside are soaked red, why is there so much blood?"

When she saw the wound, she frowned: "Maybe I hit it accidentally."

Sister Zhou's anger, which had finally calmed down, started to rise again: "It must have been pushed by that mother just now." Thinking about it made her angry, "What a prejudiced ghost."

Who says it isn't?

How many people regard bad luck and unluckyness as an infectious disease, and the source of infection is ordinary people like them who are engaged in the funeral industry.

Sister Zhou got up and went to get the medical kit: "Let me help you take care of it."

The business leader pulled up a stool and sat down obediently: "Thank you, Sister Zhou."

Sister Zhou has two "mythical beasts" in her family. They are both boys. One is more naughty than the other. She has always dreamed of having a girl as well-behaved as Shang Ling. There are so many girls in the plastic surgery team, and her favorite is Shang Ling.

collar.

At this moment, Sister Zhou was very maternal and distressed: "Doesn't it hurt? I didn't even realize that I was injured."

The businessman shook his head, his eyes misty, like a good girl who pretends to be strong and brave despite being wronged, and faces life positively: "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all."

Look, you can swallow any pain by yourself. Sister Zhou felt even more distressed: "What can I do at a young age? Just scream when it hurts, don't hold it back."

The businessman's eyelids drooped, and the ends of his eyes instantly turned red.

She really doesn't feel pain. She has injured a nerve and her pain perception is much duller than normal people. But over the years, she has realized a truth: the weak will always be pitied, while the strong will often be envied. Especially...

For women, if the show of weakness is used well, it can be a sure blow.

Before five o'clock, it was getting very dark, a sign that heavy rain was coming, and the light-controlled lights in the women's restroom were all on.

Someone called in the cubicle: "Didn't you say you might be promoted at the end of the month? Don't ask for leave at this moment, so as not to make your boss unhappy."

The person who spoke was not the woman who treated the corpse plastic surgeon as a dirty thing.

"Your second aunt's family didn't come either, so what's wrong with that?"

"I asked your dad to take Xiaobao back, and so did he. His brain was squeezed by the door. How old is Xiaobao that he dares to bring him to a place like this? He almost encountered something unclean today."

Da da.

The woman suddenly became quiet and listened carefully. There was a sound outside, which seemed to be the sound of high heels.

The eldest son on the other end of the phone asked her if she would hold a memorial service. After asking twice and getting no response, he called her loudly.

"Ah?" The woman in the cubicle came to her senses.

Ask her what's wrong over there.

"It's nothing, someone must have come over and heard some noise." She stood up, arranged her clothes, and then said, "We won't hold a memorial service. After the cremation tomorrow, we will take her back to her hometown for burial."

The eldest son asked about the ashes again.

"It costs a lot of money to store the ashes in the columbarium, and your uncle and the others are not willing to pay that money."

Outside the cubicle, the sound of high-heeled shoes was getting closer and closer, and there was also the sound of metal scraping on the ground. The woman suddenly felt horrified when she thought that this was a funeral parlor. She hung up the phone and was about to flush the water when suddenly singing sounded outside.

It's a nursery rhyme.

The girl's voice was clear and ethereal, her tune was very slow, and she sang leisurely: "The big rabbit is sick, look at the second rabbit."

The woman was shocked: "Who is outside?"

The female voice outside is still singing, one sentence at a time, unhurriedly: "Three rabbits buy medicine, four rabbits boil it."

With a bang, the woman's hand softened and the phone fell into the toilet. Her scalp was numb, so she didn't care about the phone and hurriedly opened the door.

At this time, an iron rod passed through the middle of the door handle and was fixed on the handle of the next cubicle.

The woman couldn't open the door no matter how hard she tried. She beat it with her hands and shouted in panic, "Who's outside?"

"who!"

who?

Fairy.

"Five rabbits died, six rabbits carried them, seven rabbits dug holes, and eight rabbits buried them."

The woman sat down on the toilet, her legs trembling: "Who...who is outside!"

The fairy stuck her to the door and told her gently, "It's a ghost."

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

What a piercing scream.

Among the screams, there was also a sweet song: "Nine Rabbits sat on the ground and cried. Ten Rabbits asked why they were crying. Nine Rabbits said: Five Rabbits will never come back once they leave."

The woman couldn't see outside the cubicle, but she could see the shiny silver high heels and a pair of white and slender ankles. The owner of the ankles walked to the faucet, turned on the water and washed her hands, slowly singing a nursery rhyme:

"The big rabbit is sick, the second rabbit takes care of it, the third rabbit buys medicine, the fourth rabbit cooks it, the fifth rabbit dies, and the sixth rabbit carries it."

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

Ah, it's so noisy.

Will the more than a hundred corpses in the freezing area next to it be awakened? The business leader turned off the water and walked out of the bathroom with a smile.

In the women's restroom, the woman was still screaming, screaming at the top of her lungs.

"Seven rabbits dug holes, eight rabbits buried them, and nine rabbits sat on the ground and cried..."

The nursery rhyme became more and more cheerful, and the sound became farther and farther away.

Sister Zhou had just returned from handing over work when she saw the business leader coming in humming a song.

"Any happy news?"

She just smiled and asked Sister Zhou: "Is my voice scary?"

"How come, it sounds so nice." Sister Zhou really likes this little girl's voice. It sounds sweet and well-behaved.

Hearing the compliment, the business leader smiled sweetly and felt a little embarrassed after being praised.

Sister Zhou asked while changing her coat, "Are you wearing high heels today?" She didn't notice it this morning.

Business collars don't often wear high heels to work.

She was very different today. She was in a good mood and loved to smile: "Well, I have to go see my little brother."

Sister Zhou couldn’t help but sigh: It’s great to be young.

At this time, the corpse plastic surgery team was off work, and Zuo Xiaoyun from the wake hall was still guarding the information desk. The business leader passed through the hall here.

Zuo Xiaoyun stopped her and said, "Ling Ling."

"Um?"

"Did you hear anything?"

The business leader stopped and listened: "What is the sound?"

Zuo Xiaoyun pointed in the direction of the women's toilet: "There seems to be someone shouting over there."

The business leader said: "The body has just been delivered. It should be the family members who are crying."

There are indeed family members crying, and the most indispensable thing in the funeral home is the sound of crying, so who has the mind to care about the "prejudice ghost" in the toilet.

Bad luck, right?

That will be very unfortunate for you.

She hummed a nursery rhyme again, her voice cheerful, her pink woolen skirt swaying, and her silver high heels shining beautifully. The singing didn't stop until she saw the box of band-aids on the battery car.

She looked at the words on the paper and frowned: "Why is he so difficult to deal with?"

Not even a single phone call.

After being depressed for a while, her mood cleared up again. She held up the box of band-aids in both hands and looked at it again and again through the not-so-bright light under the tree. She then held up the piece of paper and stared at the three words he wrote on it.

She looked at the words carefully. When she had seen enough, she took out the small scissors hanging on the keychain from her bag, cut out the words along his handwriting, and threw away the other parts, leaving only three of his handwritings.

The words were put into a band-aid box and stored together in her ordinary bag set with rubies.

She likes gems, and of all gems, rubies are her favorite.

Jing Zhao is the most beautiful one, strong and beautiful.

The pink battery car shuttled between the green shades, and the girl's pearl earrings were lifted by the wind. The brisk song echoed slowly: "The big rabbit is sick, the second rabbit is watching, the third rabbit is buying medicine, the fourth rabbit is boiling, and the fifth rabbit is dead."

, six rabbits carry it, seven rabbits dig a hole, eight rabbits bury it..."

*****

Boom!

The wind was strong and the rain was pouring.

It's past ten o'clock, and the usually bustling pedestrian street is deserted tonight. Thunder and lightning are pounding endlessly, and the street lights are dimmed by the flash of lightning. Children's cries at night can be heard in the old residential areas in the distance, which is hysterical.

The heavy rain is causing it, turning the city upside down, and people are also causing it, turning human nature upside down.

"Don't come over here."

Amidst the sound of rain, the girl's voice trembled.

*****

Sorry, I made an error in prediction and did not write about the hero saving the beauty.

The nursery rhyme comes from "Mother Goose's Nursery Rhymes": Ten Rabbits.

The update time is about 6:30 pm every day (tentative), and the number of words is about 2,500. The public period has to wait for recommendations, and I can't add too many words, sorry for that.
