Chapter 29: Being Seen Through
Looking at the mute old woman in front of me and her eyes as bright as a mouse's, I felt terrified.
Let alone eating noodles, I feel awkward sitting here.
How could an old woman with a wrinkled face have such clear eyes?
Could this old lady be transformed from a mouse?
There is a little more worry and doubt in my heart.
However, let’s look at the Qi Observation Technique in Exorcist Exorcism.
She is just a human being, and there is nothing unusual about her except for her bright eyes.
"Mother-in-law, why are you looking at me? What's the matter?"
I asked awkwardly.
But this mute mother-in-law smiled and pointed at my chest.
I looked down and saw that Sister Bai's tiger claws were exposed.
He quickly picked it up, stuffed it into his clothes, and then pretended to smile:
"It's just a claw pendant."
But the mute old woman shook her head with a half-smile.
The hands made a pair of tiger claws, and finally the left and right hands raised their thumbs and bent towards each other.
This is sign language, meaning we like each other.
Whether it's on TV or in school, I've seen people draw it.
Mute Granny, did you notice the ambiguous relationship between Tiger Claw Master and me?
Although the mute old lady couldn't speak, she didn't make a sound.
But her movements, gestures, and facial expressions seemed to have seen through my entire being.
It was as if all her secrets were exposed in front of her old man.
I was horrified in my heart, I just felt that this mute mother-in-law’s eyes were so poisonous!
She is definitely not an ordinary old lady who cooks.
There is really a hidden dragon and crouching tiger in this Phoenix Mountain Funeral Home.
I didn't explain, I just laughed "haha" to hide my emotions and mood.
The mute grandma did not continue to pay attention to my protective paws, but pointed at the noodles in front of me and motioned for me to eat.
I nodded, picked up the chopsticks and took a bite to taste.
Not to mention, the noodles cooked by this mute grandma taste really good.
In addition, I was already hungry, so I took two big bites in a row:
"It's delicious. Grandma, the noodles you cook are so delicious."
After saying that, I gave a thumbs up with one hand.
The mute grandma laughed happily, but the sound of her laughter was not pleasant.
In this way, under the watchful eyes of the mute grandma, I quickly finished the bowl of noodles.
My stomach was full and I was ready to get up and leave:
"Mother-in-law, thank you for your visit. I'm going back to the dormitory."
But the mute old lady took out a small box from her pocket, put it in the palm of her hand and handed it to me.
I took a look and saw that it was a flat black box as big as baby cream. I didn't know what was inside.
But he also curiously took it with his hand:
"Mother-in-law, what is this?"
The mute grandma pointed to the bloody marks on my neck and wrists where the murderous corpse's hair had strangled me.
He pointed at the box again and made a sound of "uh uh"...
Is this medicine for me?
For me to wipe the blood and bruises on my neck and wrists?
I opened the lid and found a dark paste-like substance inside.
The smell is not good, it smells bad.
You can even see some hair impurities inside...
"Mother-in-law, is this medicine for me?"
After hearing what I said, the mute old lady nodded repeatedly and asked me to try it now.
Although I am very repulsive, it is obviously not easy for this mute mother-in-law to gain a foothold in a funeral home despite her good intentions.
I just put some ointment on the bruise.
The bruises on my wrists and neck were always burning and uncomfortable, as if they had been burned.
That's because the wound is contaminated with corpse evil spirit, and it takes a day or two to dissipate.
Now as soon as I apply this medicine, the burning sensation disappears.
I was quite surprised because the medicine smelled bad, but the effect was really good.
"Mother-in-law, this medicine is so powerful. It doesn't hurt at all. It's cool."
I spoke in surprise.
The mute grandma nodded kindly and motioned for me to put the ointment away.
"Give it to me?"
I asked in surprise.
The mute old lady nodded, still smiling.
I looked surprised and nodded my thanks:
"Thank you, mother-in-law, thank you, mother-in-law..."
The mute old woman raised her hand and motioned for me to go back.
She went back behind the bar, put on her apron, turned on the faucet, and continued to skin the mice.
I put away the black ointment, thanked her again and left the cafeteria.
Although Phoenix Mountain Funeral Home is small, it does not have many employees.
But look, everyone is not simple.
When I returned to the dormitory, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening by the time I finished washing and made the bed.
I didn't expect that I would encounter so many things on my first day of employment.
But overall, this is definitely a good place to learn real skills.
The salary is good, I can earn money, and I can learn skills. No wonder my godfather directed me to this place.
I just don’t know if my godfather had anything to do with this place during his lifetime.
After a day of hard work, I was really tired and fell asleep quickly.
When I got up the next day, I was surprised to find that the bruises on my hands and neck had almost disappeared.
The medicine given by the mute grandma is really powerful.
I just don’t know what herbs were used to make it, and I have to thank them properly later...
Yesterday, my phone ran out of battery, so I called the house back early in the morning to inform my parents that everything was safe.
Look at the time, it's already nine forty in the morning.
It was definitely too late to go to the cafeteria for breakfast, so I went to the office hall with yesterday's corpse collection receipt.
But I didn't see Li Shasha, so I put the receipt at her front desk and pressed it with one of her lollipops.
After doing this, I walked quickly to the charnel house.
When I got to the place where the body was to be burned, Liu hadn't arrived yet.
Instead, I saw a spirited young man with yellow hair and beanie shoes talking on the phone...
