I was leaning on my seat and sighing about today's experience.
A deep middle-aged man's voice sounded outside the car:
"Hey! Newcomer, why are you dawdling? Why don't you come down and carry the body!"
When I heard the shouting, I turned around quickly.
I found an older man standing outside the car, with a medium build, bald head, wearing a tan waistband and rain boots, with a cigarette in his mouth.
Judging by her attire, she must be the "cremator" in the museum.
I heard from Chang Laosan that the cremator in our funeral home is called "Burning Corpse Liu".
It should be this middle-aged man.
With his appearance and appearance, he must be someone who is not to be trifled with.
"Uncle is here!"
He quickly opened the car door and walked out.
The middle-aged man saw me getting out of the car and complained:
"Look what time it is, I haven't come back until now.
I’m still waiting to go home and help my children with their homework!”
I didn’t take it seriously, I just smiled and replied:
"I'm sorry, uncle. This corpse is not peaceful. It caused trouble for me on the road. The tire also burst, so it was delayed a lot of time."
While I was talking, I had already opened the rear door with the key.
Seeing that I had a good attitude, the middle-aged uncle glanced at the spare tire that was rotated in the back, and his attitude softened a lot:
"Be quick, I'll get off work in a hurry."
After saying that, he came over to help.
But as soon as he arrived at the rear door, he saw the female corpse that I had used a spell to restrain, and her hair that was scattered.
He was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at me and said:
"Did you press this talisman?"
"It was me who pressed her down, and I lost a lot of my limbs."
I spoke truthfully, but didn't elaborate.
Those who can work in a funeral parlor are definitely not easy.
The middle-aged uncle squinted his eyes, looked at the charm I put on the forehead of the female corpse, and said with an unsightly smile:
"Okay, boy, I have some tricks.
No wonder the curator dared to let you collect the corpses alone on your first day at work.
Not bad.
Come on! Push her out."
The middle-aged uncle smiled and said, except for my Chen Zan, he didn't pay much attention to the female corpse.
When he got to the carriage, he quickly unlocked the buckle that fixed the cart and pushed the cart and the body out.
When we got to the ground, the middle-aged uncle lit another cigarette and said to me:
"Boy, push the body in."
After saying that, the middle-aged man walked to the morgue with a cigarette in his mouth.
"good."
I replied and followed with the cart.
This is a passage more than ten meters long, leading to the morgue, with only three small dim lights.
The middle-aged uncle led the way.
Because he was wearing a leather apron and rain boots, when he walked, the "clack-clack" sound, coupled with the "sizzling" sound of the wheels of the cart, seemed particularly harsh in this passage.
Just halfway through, the middle-aged man spoke again:
"Boy, what's your name?"
He didn't look back, his voice was low and full of energy, and he was enjoying the pleasure of puffing away the clouds.
"Uncle, my name is Li Xu."
"Well! I am the corpse burner in the museum, others call me corpse burner Liu.
The mortuary and cremation are all under my control.
From now on, any corpses you collect must have my consent before they can be pushed to the morgue.
Also, please don’t touch my stove..."
When he said the last few words, Burning Corpse Liu turned around and stared at me seriously.
Although I am new to the industry, I also know that there are many taboos when dealing with dead people.
This can be seen from the detailed explanation of exorcism left by my godfather to me.
I also nodded and said:
"Understood Uncle Liu!"
After Burning Corpse Liu heard my response, he said "Yeah" again and stopped talking.
He led me to the morgue quickly.
In my impression, the morgue should be like the iron cabinets with grids in the movies.
Push the body in and freeze it.
But the morgue of our Phoenix Mountain Funeral Home is a little different.
This is a big icehouse.
As the thick iron door opened, I felt a burst of cold air and white air kept coming out.
The corpse-burner Liu turned on the light and motioned for me to push the corpse inside.
The wheels kept making a "squeaking" sound.
I pushed the body into the morgue.
But as soon as I walked into the morgue, I was shocked by the scene in front of me.
In the morgue, there were more than a dozen coffins of different shapes and colors neatly placed.
These coffins are very special.
Near the gate are five green wood coffins.
The whole body is cyan without any patterns.
Even the word "longevity" is not written.
Behind the green wood coffin are four black wood coffins.
The two-mouthed phoenix pattern and the two-mouthed dragon pattern are exquisitely carved and lifelike.
Behind them are three white sarcophagi, which appear to be hewn out of marble.
The coffin is completely white, with no carvings on the body.
Only the lid of the coffin is carved with a protruding evil beast with angry eyes.
Further back, there are two iron coffins wrapped with large iron chains and sealed with four iron locks.
At first glance, this coffin is not simple. It can hold the corpse inside, so I'm afraid it won't be easy to mess with.
But the most eye-catching thing is the coffin at the end, which is also the largest coffin in the entire morgue.
This coffin is twice as big as the other coffins.
The four corners are bent outward and are all dragon heads.
The entire coffin is surrounded by four relief dragon bodies.
Those empty positions are even filled with scriptures.
Even with just one glance, you can tell that this coffin is not simple.
The corpse-burner Liu smiled when he saw me stunned on the spot, looking straight at the big coffin.
Somewhat proudly he said:
"Art, this is all my art.
The innermost mouth is my masterpiece and my favorite work.
It is also the most powerful coffin in our museum, the Four Dragons Bronze Coffin.
It’s a pity that it hasn’t been used for several years..."
