Chapter 148 The Haunting Incident in the Mortuary Part 4
I have become accustomed to my boss's "rudeness". In short, this matter does not require me to risk my life.
The hospital usually starts work at 14:00 in the afternoon, so I thought I was free, so I planned to buy some magazines from the newsstand near the hospital to pass the time in the afternoon.
Although the hospital is not peaceful, the supporting facilities around it are relatively complete, including banks, post offices, restaurants, etc. I saw a newsstand across the road from a hotel, so I walked to the door of the hotel and prepared to cross the road. There it was.
At that time, a mother and son came out of the hotel. They looked familiar! I took a closer look and found that the mother and son were the people who were blocking the door of the hospital asking for explanations, that is, Lao Shi's family.
Because there were so many people in the morning, I didn’t take a closer look at the mother and son. But when I took a closer look, I found that the mother and son were indeed pitiful: they were dressed in rags and had sallow complexions. The proprietress of the restaurant probably felt that the mother and son were pitiful, so she served them a plate of food at the mouth of the meal.
A little leftover
The mother and son were very sensible and felt that their clothes were ragged and were afraid of affecting the restaurant's business. They took the leftovers and said thank you to the landlady before heading to the restaurant.
When he goes out, the landlady can't hold him back.
I was quite moved when I saw this scene. At least I felt that the mother and son were not unreasonable people. They were holding a wreath at the entrance of the hospital. They must have been forced by the hospital.
Seeing that it was still early, I gave up the idea of buying newspapers and magazines, turned around and took the mother and son, and then said to the proprietress: "Do you have a private room in your store?"
When the lady boss saw my move, she immediately understood what I was thinking and said with a happy face: "Yes, yes. Come in quickly."
I pulled the mother and son and followed the proprietress to the restaurant. The mother resisted instinctively and asked, "Who are you? I don't know you!"
I didn't want to talk about it, so I pulled the mother and son and said, "Let's talk in the private room."
The mother was still very hesitant. She didn't dare to follow me. I was afraid that people outside would be too observant and someone from the hospital would see me. So I said something, so I picked up the child and walked straight in. The mother would see her.
The child was taken away and followed hurriedly.
Entering the private room, the landlady said to the mother and son: "Sister! Don't worry, I guess this young man must want to do something good and treat you and your mother to a good meal." After saying this, the landlady looked a little unsure.
He looked at me. As if he was listening to my thoughts, I quickly said to the landlady: "Go get some good food and bring it up. How can we eat leftovers while this child is growing up?"
When the proprietress heard this, my actions were consistent with what she thought. I was very pleased and took away the leftovers from the children, and said straightly: "You have met a noble person, please take a seat quickly, and I will give you the food later."
Come up."
Only then did the mother and son feel relieved. Even so, they were still too stunned to sit down.
I gestured for them to sit down and said comfortingly: "Don't worry. I'll keep my work ID with you, so you can eat without worry."
When the mother saw that I was really taking out my work ID, she quickly stopped her and said, "Young man, no, no, please treat me and my child to dinner. I can't even thank you enough, so why do I need your work ID?"
Seeing that the mother and son trusted me, I felt relieved and waited for the boss lady to serve the food. The boss lady also knew the "market" and knew that the mother and son only needed to eat big fish and meat, so they served real food.
.The mother and son were really hungry. In a short time, they had already eaten.
There were two bowls of rice. The mother was afraid that her child would not be full, so she took care of her child while eating, letting her eat slowly so as not to choke, and then she personally picked up vegetables and served rice for her child. Her son seemed to be doing the same.
He is very sensible and never forgets to "remind" his mother, "Mom, you eat too."
When I saw this scene, I couldn't help but feel sad...,
When we were almost done eating, I asked the mother why she placed a wreath at the entrance of the hospital. The mother's eyes turned red and she cried while telling her why she blocked the hospital with her child.
Her surname is Fu, and she married Lao Shi eight years ago. After the marriage, she gave birth to a son, named Shi Kang, which means health and strength. The family of three can be considered happy and happy.
Two years ago, Lao Shi brought his family to this city to work, dreaming of "adding bricks and mortar" to the family so that his wife and children could live a happy life. Unfortunately, the world was in a recession, and Lao Shi never found a suitable job.
Working as a part-time worker makes a living, and your life is not as happy as in the countryside.
So Lao Shi discussed with his wife that they should return to their hometown when their children were about to go to school. His wife agreed. Just when the family was about to return to their hometown, a recruitment notice attracted Lao Shi. The hospital was looking for a morgue security guard.
, the monthly salary was 3,000, and a dormitory was provided for him. As soon as Lao Shi saw that he was interested, he went to the hospital for an interview. The hospital was worried that it could not recruit people, so when he saw someone coming, he immediately made a decision, and Lao Shi was accepted.
Lao Shi was admitted and had a place to stay, so of course he gave up the idea of returning to his hometown. When his wife asked him why, Lao Shi said that he would be a janitor in a hospital, and he would be given three thousand and a place to live. Lao Shi did not say to look at the morgue.
, I am afraid that my wife will be worried. After all, women from rural areas are quite taboo about dead people.
The wife is a person who can see the "market". She thought that a job as a janitor would pay three thousand yuan and include food and accommodation. She was somewhat unconvinced. After repeated questioning, Lao Shi finally told the truth. When the wife learned about it, of course she tried her best.
He objected, but Lao Shi was unwilling, saying that he wanted to create good conditions for his children and let his wife live a comfortable life. Seeing Lao Shi's hard work, his wife was of course deeply moved, and finally accepted Lao Shi as the janitor of the morgue.
the truth.
There are rules for being a caretaker in the morgue. First of all, there should not be many people, only one person. If there are too many people, they will definitely chat and chat, which will not be conducive to the "sleep" of the deceased. Many people have a misunderstanding, thinking that deaf-mute people do this.
The morgue caretaker is the most suitable. In fact, the deaf-mute is not suitable to be the caretaker of the morgue because he cannot hear and has heavier hands and feet. The movement he makes is much louder than that of the average person.
.
Second, the guards only need to work at night. What do the morgue guards guard? Of course, they guard the dead. The market value of the dead object has increased in recent years. Why? Because there is organ trafficking. But in general,
There are not many people who specialize in stealing corpses, and people with some medical knowledge know that organ transplantation has obvious special characteristics. After a person dies, if the organs are not disposed of in time, they will basically not be recovered.
It can be used. Therefore, except for the possibility of stealing corpses by particularly perverted people (necrophiliacs) and people with certain purposes (extortion, destruction of evidence, etc.), the possibility of corpse theft is very slim. Therefore, the real morgue guard
People are not guarding against having the body stolen, but guarding against private individuals causing trouble. Therefore, the morgue guards only need to work late at night and do not need to guard during the day. As for why it is unique?
Finally, there is the particularity of the morgue keeper's work process. Don't think that as soon as the morgue keeper goes to work, his eyes are fixed on the morgue. It is not necessary. The morgue keeper has a special cabin (this is true for any mortuary).
There must be a small room at the entrance of a morgue.) There is a bed in this small room, which can be used for sleeping and resting. (I am not wrong, in all types of work that work night shift
Among them, the morgue guard is the most comfortable and can sleep unscrupulously without fear of being inspected.), but there are two indispensable items, portable lighting tools and whistles. Many people will say that portable lighting tools are flashlights.
Why does it need to be so complicated? It’s not my responsibility. It’s the morgue keeper’s rules that are complicated. In many places, such as the South, portable lighting tools mostly use flashlights.
In northern areas, candles are mostly used, and flashlights are prohibited. In some western areas, there is still the custom of using lanterns. As for why there is such a rule, I am not sure. A Taoist priest once told me about this.
The Taoist priest's understanding is that candlelight means "ever-lasting light". It doesn't matter if you use this guard to patrol and the candlelight shines on the corpse. It is a kind of respect for the deceased. As for this statement, is it correct?
It’s hard to say, I can only say that it is a reference. The whistle is for emergency situations, such as corpse transformation, accumulation of corpses (one or more corpses for no reason), and corpse leaking (one or more corpses for no reason).
If someone appears, the morgue guard must blow a whistle. The whistle has the effect of shaking corpses. (This is also a legend. As for whether it has any effect, I have never seen it.) (You are welcome to come and your support is my biggest motivation.
