Chapter 125: Secret Business
"Are there many people in front?"
I looked puzzled.
But the gate directly in front was empty, and there was no one there.
But when I thought about Huang Mao having yin and yang eyes, and how frightened he looked now.
I quickly took out the eye drops and applied some on my eyelids.
As a cold feeling came over me, the entrance to the funeral parlor was empty just now.
At this moment, it was so densely packed that a large group of sneaky people appeared.
These sneaky men and women are tall, short, fat and thin.
At this moment, everyone was blocked at the gate, staring at us expressionlessly.
"Damn it, this and that are people, they are obviously ghosts."
I took a breath.
I have been in the museum for more than a month, and this is the first time I have seen so many ghosts at the gate.
What is this for? Gathering a crowd to make trouble?
"Brother Xu, why are there so many ghosts at the gate?"
Huang Mao didn't understand either.
"How do I know this? Doesn't the blind man even care?"
I looked at the group of ghosts blocking the front.
For a moment, I didn't know whether to advance or retreat.
But at this moment, these ghosts moved.
With a pair of gray eyes, he slowly came around our car.
For a moment, our entire carriage felt a chill.
"What are you doing? What do these ghosts want to do?"
I said with a sullen face:
"No matter what they want!
This has all arrived at our hotel.
What kind of trouble can these ordinary ghosts cause?
Drive right over."
"good!"
Huang Mao replied and honked the horn.
He stepped on the accelerator and charged towards the group of ghosts.
The ghosts that surrounded us didn't pounce on our car when they saw it passing by.
They started to avoid us one after another, standing on the left and right sides, looking at us unkindly.
Until he reached the traffic stop, the blind man in the security booth was still listening to opera.
"Blind man, lift up the pole."
The blind man didn't even open the window, he just raised the lever.
Huang Mao followed, stepped on the accelerator and drove in.
But those ghosts did not follow.
But after our car passed by, they blocked us in front of the gate.
Huang Mao drove into the parking lot and I got out of the car.
Looking towards the gate, there were still a bunch of ghosts surrounding it.
"I'm going to ask the blind man what's going on."
After saying that, I walked directly to the gate.
Those ghosts were not afraid of people. They watched me walk to the door and remained blocked at the door without moving or making a sound.
Just those eyes, staring straight at me, watching me approach.
When I arrived at the security booth, I knocked on the glass window with my hand.
"Dong dong dong..."
"Blind man, blind man..."
"Wow!"
The glass window opened, and the blind man stretched out his head, revealing his bright white eyes.
"What's wrong, kid?"
"Blind Master, why are there so many ghosts standing at the door?"
I asked.
The blind man disagreed:
"It's okay, these are all here for loan. Shasha, that girl, will take care of it later."
After saying that, the blind man immediately retracted his head.
With a "crash" sound, he closed the window and door, and then started humming a little tune again.
And I turned around to look at these ghosts again, and found that there were still ghosts floating around.
There were more than eighty just now, but in a short time, there were more than ten more.
These ghosts are all here to borrow money.
But what they borrowed was not money, but longevity.
I have learned a lot today.
And these ghosts were just standing at the gate, motionless.
Most of them looked at me numbly.
After figuring out the reason, I stopped staying and turned around and walked back.
"Brother Xu, what's going on? Why are those ghosts here?"
"For those who want to borrow Yinshou, today should be the loan day. Zhuangsha will welcome them later."
Huang Mao also widened his eyes in surprise:
"What a great deal! Our restaurant's business is really big. It's only midnight and already a hundred ghosts are here.
How about hundreds of them coming in the middle of the night?
Do our library’s Yin Shou have so many borrowings?”
"There should be! After all, our museum is a serious cooperative unit, so it must be strong.
Let’s go! Burn the corpse…”
I spoke.
Huang Mao also nodded, and then he and I carried down the zombie corpse and entered the corpse burning room.
There are three stoves here.
Iron stove, bronze stove, a big cauldron stove.
All we can use is this iron stove.
Uncle Liu taught us how to burn a corpse. It's very simple.
Push it in and press the button to burn it.
As for Uncle Liu, who made seals and burned the corpse with incantations and talismans, we definitely can't do it.
Press the corpse burning start button and spray pine oil.
Then there was a "buzz" sound, and a fierce flame began to appear in the furnace.
Even if the zombies are hard enough, they will still crackle when burned.
After half an hour in the burning room, the body was burned.
Jiang Guofu is a single man and has no relatives.
This ashes must have been claimed by no one.
I put the ashes in the cheapest urn and placed them in the ashes storage room at the back.
If there is a specified date and a family member comes to claim it, we will give it to you.
If it exceeds the specified period, we will keep it for one year.
Within one year, if there is no notification from the family or an extension, our library will automatically dispose of the ashes.
It's not just throwing it away, it's burning it with talisman fire.
It will definitely have an impact on the deceased, but not too much.
By the time I finished doing this, it was already half past one in the morning.
Huang Mao and I walked out of the incineration hall tiredly, and happened to see Zhuang Sha getting out of the car.
Then I saw her shouting at the gate:
"Those who want to do Yin Shou business, please line up and come in one by one. Anyone who breaks the rules will not be able to borrow Yin Shou."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the office hall.
My heavenly eye has been closed, and I can't see those sneaky things now.
But Huang Mao next to him said in surprise:
"Damn it, this is too much! Let's say less than two or three hundred ghosts."
"so much?"
"Well, it looks like there's more to it than that."
Huang Mao was worried about his feet and looked back.
As a result, Zhuangsha turned his head and looked at us.
Seeing the two of us standing at the corpse-burning hall, looking towards the gate, he shouted to the two of us:
"Li Xu, Huang Xiaolong, there are many people doing business tonight, you two should come over and help."
"Ah? Help?"
Huang Mao was surprised.
I was also stunned on the spot.
"Ah what? Hurry up? I have ten points in my hand during your assessment."
Threat, the threat of Chi Guoguo.
However, I actually want to experience it.
How did our library do loan business with these ghosts?
"Okay, come here."
I replied and took out the eye-opening cow's tears again and applied it to my eyelids.
After the bursts of coldness and the pungent smell passed, my eyes became extremely clear.
Looking again, I found that the entire entrance to the funeral home was densely packed with ghosts.
By now there was already a long queue.
Because this time, it is related to the interests of every ghost, and the sooner or later the business is done.
There were even some ghosts quarreling:
"Why are you squeezing? I'm in front of you and don't know?"
"Why are you cutting in line? Believe it or not, I will kill you."
"..."
I was speechless when I saw it.
When I came back, I was a little nervous seeing so many ghosts.
But now it seems that it is simply redundant.
They just changed their form to live, and there is basically no difference between them and living people...
