The timber transportation office is about 3 or 4 miles away from the town. Since it is a main road, it is not too far. It takes about half an hour to walk from the town to the timber transportation office.

There was originally a village here before liberation, but later it was moved away for unknown reasons, leaving it deserted for more than 20 years until a timber transportation office was established here.

At first, some of the office buildings of the Timber Distribution and Transportation Office were old houses in the village, as were the workers' dormitories. Later, for some unknown reason, all these houses were demolished and rebuilt. Mr. Liu heard that Lin Jianguo privately gave them to the Transportation and Transportation Office.

An idea from the top.

However, these are just speculations. Only real things can prove something. Mr. Liu is a real person.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration at all when he said that the timber transportation office recovered 17 corpses for most of the first year. What the people think is not important. What is important is that the people at the top still understand some taboos.

When the first body was retrieved, a senior executive from the transportation department quietly found Mr. Liu.

"Master Liu, I heard that you used to help people in the town with some red and white matters?" That day, the leader of the transportation office did not come directly to the door. Instead, one afternoon, he asked someone from the agency to take Liu Er

I brought it here.

"Oh, haha, that's all in the past. Everyone holds weddings and weddings for fun, and I'm just trying to make ends meet. Life was hard at that time, so it's better to let me have a good life.

I will live my life and never do those things again. Now I am pursuing advanced things.

, and even took the initiative to participate in literacy classes to help everyone learn to read." Mr. Liu couldn't figure out what kind of medicine the second-in-command at the transportation office was selling, but as one of the few educated people in the town, Mr. Liu

But as a person, he understands what people say when he meets them.

"Well, pursuing advancement is a good thing. We should take the best of what our ancestors left behind. Mr. Liu is worthy of being a cultural man for having such an awareness." The second-in-command praised Mr. Liu in an official tone.

One sentence, but then he changed the subject and said: "But, what is good and what is bad about the things left by our ancestors? There are many now that we should slowly explore. Mr. Liu, what are you wearing?"

This skill cannot be wasted."

"Ah?" Now Mr. Liu couldn't figure out what the leader's words meant. Say there's a problem. People's words are impeccable. Say there's no problem. What do you mean you can't let your skills go to waste? What skills do you have?

?The most important thing is to know the standard procedures for red and white affairs, and how to avoid violating taboos. Of course, this is actually the same skill. After all, learning this kind of thing is complicated.

"Mr. Liu, let's just say it. The people need you now, but this matter must be done in a low-key manner. After all, unknown heroes are also heroes." Facing the confused Mr. Liu, the second-in-command suddenly said this.

.

Who is Mr. Liu? He is like a spirited person. He understands that this is something that the Timber Transportation Department needs to do by himself, and it is something that he cannot refuse. Thinking like this, Mr. Liu feels a little heavy in his heart. He pondered:

"I never said anything about doing things for the organization, but I don't know if I can do it?"

"This must be something you can do to find you." The second-in-command didn't know what to say. He paused for a moment, then took a big sip of tea from his big teapot, and then said: "Yesterday

, the workers at the transportation office picked up a corpse. It was soaked very badly. It was probably impossible to find who it was. They said it was going to be buried. This is somewhat particular. Mr. Liu, you have experience in this matter. What do you have?

view?"

The second-in-command still didn’t know what the matter was, but the meaning was very clear. Mr. Liu understood that it was time for him to express his position. At that moment, he no longer hesitated and said directly: "Since the organization needs

, I won’t say more about my opinion. I’ll just do it tonight. It’s not necessarily a good thing if the body stays for a long time, so let’s do it. However, it’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. Some things are just like that.

Please organize and prepare it for me."

"Okay, it's settled then." The second-in-command looked very happy.

Just such a conversation directly confirmed that one of Mr. Liu's side jobs is to help the Timber Distribution Department perform some rituals and save some of the floating corpses that were fished out. No matter what, at least psychologically it can give the Timber Distribution Department a peace of mind.

, this matter can be regarded as a good cooperation between the two parties.

Mr. Liu has never delayed the funeral, and the Timber Transportation Department also quietly gave Mr. Liu some subsidies. When talking to the old woman about this, Mr. Liu quietly took out a small bag from a corner. The small bag

Hidden inside the layers were all kinds of receipts, including not only food stamps, cloth stamps, but also gas stamps and meat stamps.

"Hey Liu Er, how dare you hide so many votes from me?" When the old woman saw this, she felt very angry.

"Can I take it out? Can I make it clear when I take it out? This is a secret thing, and you love chatting with those women. What if it is exposed? It will be difficult for everyone. This is what I do for my youngest son.

I'm getting married, and I'm thinking about it until then, and I'll think of a way to say it out loud, otherwise I'll

What can I do? Old lady, it’s not that I’m a coward. I can’t hide this matter today. I’ll tell you, but you must not talk nonsense everywhere.” Mr. Liu’s face was unusually serious.

Until now after getting married, he has never said such words to his wife with such a serious face.

The old woman was not stupid. Although she was not as well-educated as Mr. Liu, she was more shrewd than Mr. Liu. She snatched the tickets, gave Mr. Liu a blank look, and then said, "Keep talking."

"What's there to say? Isn't this just settled? I don't know if our timber transportation department is unlucky? In short, sixteen corpses were picked up in more than half a year. I heard from the second-in-command that some of the timber was transported

The department is lucky and never encounters a corpse in a year. But there are also people who are even more unlucky. I heard that the second-in-command has a comrade who is also the leader of a timber transportation department.

An evil corpse came up. Three people in the transportation office died in a row, and several were seriously injured and sick. Finally, an unknown old Taoist priest was hired to suppress the matter. This is why the second-in-command must let me do things.

The reason." Mr. Liu couldn't help but sigh. He didn't have much ability, but he firmly believed in many taboos. It seemed that there was some truth in it.

"Then you're lucky, you didn't encounter anything evil." The old woman was also shocked, but thinking that her man was fine, why not just sit in front of her and drink? She felt relieved.

"Didn't meet? Have you forgotten what I just said? Didn't we find the seventeenth corpse later? That is the real evil thing! I was just lucky and happened to meet an expert like Lin Jianguo in the town, otherwise the first

The first person to die is Wei Dahan, and the second person to die is me." Mr. Liu said seriously.

"What's going on? It's so serious, you have to talk about it." The old woman also became concerned.

It was a winter morning. It was a gloomy day when I woke up. It looked like it was going to snow. The yellow sky seemed to be about to fall. It lasted like this for almost the whole morning. I don’t know.

When will the snow fall? Anyway, weather like this will put anyone in a bad mood.

At that time, Lin Jianguo had fled the famine and came to this town. He had just lived in the shack. However, Liu Erye, who was guarding the door of the work unit, was not familiar with Lin Jianguo. He could not care about such a person. What he cared about that day was whether the snow should be there.

When will it rain? This weather looks like a day described in books where grievances gather. It doesn't look so auspicious.

But after all, Mr. Liu did not wait in the guard room until the snow fell, because before noon, he was called again by the people from the timber transportation office.

On the way, he had a frightening feeling that something might be unusual this time.

People always have a bit of intuition, let alone someone like Mr. Liu who has been handling rituals for so many years.

Sure enough, before he arrived at the lumber transportation office, he saw the second-in-command at the gate of the unit from a distance. His expression was unrecognizable, but he was walking back and forth at the gate with a cigarette in his hand.

It makes people feel that he is very anxious.

As soon as he saw Mr. Liu, the second-in-command immediately smiled, as if he were seeing a relative. He threw away his cigarette, walked over quickly, held Mr. Liu's hand, and said, "Liu."

Comrade, you are finally here. You understand ancient Chinese. I have encountered some troubles in my self-study, so I finally expected you to come."

Mr. Liu often comes here to perform rituals. This matter cannot be known to everyone, except for a few confidants at the top of the Timber Transportation Department. This matter is absolutely confidential. As for finding an excuse, is it difficult?

Soon, Mr. Liu was brought into the office by his second-in-command. There were already several people sitting in the office, all leaders of the timber transportation department, and of course three workers, two of whom were trusted confidants of the leader.

Mr. Liu had never seen this formation before, and he felt even worse.

The head of the transportation department was a silent person. He was relieved when he saw Mr. Liu coming, but he couldn't say anything. He just exchanged a few words and let the second in command handle the matter.

It was a cold day, and there was a hot brazier burning in the office. It was originally warm, but the first words the second-in-command came up made the temperature of the entire office drop a bit.

"Second Master Liu, I think we encountered something Xiehu this time. No, to be precise, we finally encountered a corpse of Xiehu. I'm afraid this matter won't be easy to deal with." The second-in-command's tone was so heavy.

After he said these words, Mr. Liu seemed to be unable to feel the temperature of the brazier in the room.

But the second-in-command sighed and said directly to the unfamiliar worker without intending to ease the atmosphere: "Niu Dazhuang, you were the one who found the body. Please tell me about the situation at that time."

It turned out that this worker had found the body. Mr. Liu's eyebrows raised unconsciously. This worker was not from the town, but a worker brought from the timber transportation office. His eyebrows were unfamiliar, but Mr. Liu just looked at him like that.

One glance.

Suddenly, I felt frightened!
