Everyone in the mourning hall breathed a sigh of relief.
I looked at the two brothers who were kneeling on the ground and said, "You two, can you prepare to have sex next?"
Liu Zimin didn't say anything. He nodded repeatedly and said, "That's alright, young sir. Please come over here!"
He stood up hastily, perhaps because the fear just now had not completely dissipated, he staggered and almost fell.
Liu Zidong on the side was still full of reluctance, but he didn't dare to say anything. He only dared to mutter in a low voice: "I haven't asked my father how he died!"
I heard his muttering, and I smiled and asked, "How about you do it again?"
Liu Zidong was so frightened that he waved his hands: "Forget it, I believe you are really capable."
Without the troublemakers, everything after that will naturally be much more logical.
However, my family members must not know that I wanted to remove human skin and body oil, so I asked them how the old man was buried.
As a result, the two had another dispute because of this matter.
What Liu Zidong wants is for me to choose a geomantic treasure land to bury the old man and protect future generations.
But Liu Zimin wanted to keep everything simple, just take the old man to the crematorium and burn him, and bury his ashes.
Because of this matter, the two of them argued for several hours, and the whole afternoon was wasted.
Until evening, the brothers still couldn't come up with a solution that would best both worlds.
For this reason, they even came to ask my opinion specifically.
It is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs, let alone an upright official like me.
So I asked: "Did the old man ever mention the method of burial?"
Liu Zimin said: "My father must listen to the government and cremate him."
"You're talking nonsense!" Liu Zidong immediately retorted: "Why haven't I heard dad say this? You must have made it up. Dad must have wanted to be buried!"
"You still have the nerve to talk? Have you been back home in the past two years? Can you hear what dad said?"
"Dad told me before that he just wanted to be buried. You took him to the crematorium and burned him. You are being unfilial! You are crushing dad's bones and spreading his ashes!"
"Liu Zidong, I'm your uncle!"
The two brothers kept talking to each other without giving in, and they started to quarrel again, even to the point of fighting.
My head was pounding, so I interrupted: "What's the fuss about? Why don't you just ask the old man?"
The two brothers reached a consensus this time and said in unison: "No!"
"Then it's rock, paper, scissors, whoever wins," I said.
Both brothers wondered if this would be too hasty.
So we decided to win two out of three games.
In the end, Liu Zimin won and took the old man to the crematorium and burned him early tomorrow morning.
This is also the solution I hope for. If it were buried, I would have to go to the cemetery to cut the skin and burn the body oil, which would be too troublesome.
We agreed on the time to send it to the crematorium tomorrow morning and the burial place afterwards. That night, I went to the suburban crematorium and gave the person in charge a thousand yuan, asking him to do a favor tomorrow, and he agreed.
After leaving the crematorium, Zhi Xifei took me to have a nice meal, saying it was to make up for the trauma she had suffered during the day.
After she had eaten and drank enough, Zhixi chose a hotel that looked very high-end.
However, it is a small county town after all, so no matter how high-end it is, how high-end it can be.
The front desk of the hotel thought we were a couple and recommended a king-size bed room to us.
Zhixi was moved to a twin room, but the front desk didn't say anything. It turned out that we had just checked in not long ago.
The receptionist knocked on our door. When the door opened, she handed over a flower basket with heart-shaped candles and other things in it to enhance the couple's atmosphere.
It seems there was a misunderstanding. The front desk thought we were a couple having an quarrel and was still trying to help us get back together.
Zhixi was anxious to explain, but the receptionist only left a meaningful look and went downstairs, making Zhixi blush.
After the door closed, she looked at me with resentment: "Why don't you explain it to her clearly?"
I shrugged and said helplessly: "I told you earlier that I would let you sleep on the sofa."
Zhixi told me to get out, put on her clothes and went into the bathroom.
Listening to the sound of running water coming from the bathroom, my thoughts flew and I remembered the scene I saw at Wang Hu's house during the day.
But I racked my brains and couldn't figure out what Wang Hu's purpose was.
It couldn't be that he really discovered Zhixi's problem and reminded me of it in a subtle way, right?
It's impossible considering the relationship between Wang Hu and my family.
I remember that in the first few years after he was released from prison, he was very arrogant. He went to Uncle Li's meat stall to ask for protection money, and was chased down the street by Uncle Li with a butcher's knife. From then on, when Wang Hu saw Uncle Li, he had to
How could he be so kind as to come and remind me when he ran away in despair with his tail between his legs?
But until Zhixi came out of the bathroom, I still couldn't figure it out.
However, Zhixi misunderstood my behavior of staring blankly at the bathroom door.
She frowned slightly and scolded me: "What are you thinking about?"
I came back to my senses, shook my head and explained that I was thinking about what happened during the day, and asked Zhixi if she told me everything she knew and wasn't hiding anything?
Zhixi gave me a disgusted look: "I'm so full that I hide it from you? Do you think I'm mentally ill?"
I thought about it and nodded seriously: "I don't rule out this possibility, but what if you were frightened by him?"
"Get out!" Zhixi kicked me.
Since I had to get up early the next day, I turned off the light and went to bed before ten o'clock.
Zhixi also complained to me, saying that today’s young people, the night life has just started at ten o’clock, how can they go to bed so early.
I silenced her with just one sentence: "Do you want to have a night out with me?"
I ignored her. I didn't sleep last night, so I was extremely sleepy. I almost fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.
When I got up the next day, Zhixi hadn't woken up yet, so I didn't call her. Anyway, the check-out time was at noon, which was still early.
So I went downstairs to buy her a breakfast and put it on the table, and left a note asking her to wait in the room for me to come back.
After going downstairs, I took a taxi to Liu's house and went through the funeral process. By the time I sent the old man to the crematorium, it was already close to ten o'clock.
Since I had greeted the crematorium staff in advance, after the corpse-burner pushed away the old man's body, I made an excuse to leave, turned around, and met the corpse-burner.
He pushed the old man into a separate room, took a knife, and asked whether he would come or me.
I said let me do it. After all, I have been butchering pigs since I was a child, and I am better than the average person when it comes to knives.
After cutting off a piece of human skin of about the same width, I returned the knife to the corpse-burner.
But when I turned around to look, the corpse-burner was slowly putting down his cell phone.
I suddenly became alert and asked him what he had just done.
The corpse-burner didn't hide it, and stretched out a finger towards me in a mean-spirited manner.
"Brother, one thousand dollars, make a friend."
I immediately understood his intention and said in a cold voice: "I paid him."
"That's for the supervisor, but I didn't get any points."
"Then you are not afraid that I will tell your supervisor about this?"
"Aren't you afraid that I will show this video to my family?" The corpse-burner shook his phone and said with a smile.
"Brother, one thousand yuan isn't much, and you can't afford it. Don't be so stingy?"
How could I not be angry, but there was nothing I could do about it. If I wanted to blame, I could only blame myself for being careless and letting others take control of me.
"Transfer via mobile phone." I suppressed my anger, took out my mobile phone, and transferred a thousand yuan to him.
After collecting the money, the corpse burner deleted the video on his phone in front of me.
Then he patted me on the shoulder in a despicable manner and said with a smile: "If this happens again in the future, you can come to me directly instead of the supervisor. It's useless, you know?"
As a result, it was his action that reminded me.
I also smiled and patted him on the shoulder lightly and said hello.
Then, I watched him leave, and at the same time, I watched the sun fire on his shoulder that I had just patted go out!
