I am bringing along the new makeup artist, Li Xiaohuan, a very smart girl.
Unexpectedly, something happened a week later. This Li Xiaohuan almost pissed me off to death. She went into the morgue with her makeup on.
All staff members at the crematorium are not allowed to wear makeup to work and must go bare-faced. One reason is to show respect for the deceased and their families, and the other is that makeup may cause problems.
When Li Xiaohuan was checking her makeup, I noticed black spots on her face, one after another. Those were corpse scars because of the makeup. I was very surprised and shocked. I asked her about it, and she said that she forgot about it and went in. I yelled at her and she started crying.
I called Liu Shougui and asked her what to do
"Look in the morgue to see if there are any corpse scars. It's a disease, a Yin disease, not very serious, but you have to find the dead person. I'll go over there when the time comes."
I was furious, so after dark, I went into the morgue and started looking, and sure enough, I found it. There were black spots on his face, all over the place.
I called Liu Shougui and he came.
"Have that man come here immediately."
Li Xiaohuan's father came with him.
"Just wait here, don't worry."
We entered the morgue. Liu Shougui lifted the shroud and grabbed the dead man's hands, which were covered in blood.
"Grab the deceased's hand and draw circles with your thumb. Remember, only three circles."
Li Xiaohuan was sweating profusely this time and seemed to be terrified.
After Li Xiaohuan finished the painting, Liu Shougui said.
"You can go home with your father. Everything is fine."
Li Xiaohuan didn't believe it and walked away suspiciously.
"Just draw a circle?"
"This is an apology. This is a Yin Fa apology. Few people would do this. Li Xiaohuan came in with makeup on. This offended the ghosts here. Let's teach her a lesson."
I don’t know if this trick will work, but I believe in Liu Shougui.
Li Xiaohuan went back to work and everything was fine.
"Be careful next time."
"Yes, Master."
Li Xiaohuan is a bit careless, which is not a good choice for a makeup artist. A makeup artist needs to be meticulous and cannot make any mistakes. I told Li Xiaohuan all kinds of things to pay attention to and kept reminding her because I was worried that she might have problems.
I'm keeping a close eye on things here, but who would have known that something might have happened in the refining room.
I had no work to do in the dressing room, so I was sitting in the office drinking tea, and the director of the refining room ran in without even knocking on the door.
"Captain, something happened, hurry up."
I shivered and the tea spilled, scalding my hand.
I followed him into the refining room. The refining furnace was covered with black cloth and the surveillance video there had been turned off so that the family members could not see it. In fact, the family members did see it but did not understand what was going on.
Channel 8, Channel 8 again. The new refiner stood there stupidly, unable to even cry.
"What's going on?"
"The person is not dead, he is burned."
The director whispered, and I shuddered.
"Into the furnace room."
I went in and the head of the room followed me in. We opened the furnace and saw the man twitching. I was shocked. How could this be possible
"The body was delivered this morning. It was not put in the freezer. It was made up directly and then pushed in. The family members found the refiner Xiaobai. Xiaobai is coming this way. It's not her shift today."
"Please make arrangements with the family first. I will call an ambulance immediately. We have to save the lives first no matter what."
"Captain, then..."
I knew that if this matter was exposed as soon as 10 was called, the family members would make a fuss. I also understood what the director meant. It seemed that my job as the director had come to an end. Such a big thing had happened and it was too exciting.
After I made the arrangements, I came out and called the family members to the office, two of us.
"Are you sure he's dead?"
They were stunned and didn't understand what it meant for a long time.
"Sure, the death certificate has been issued."
"Something happened. You should be more rational and figure out how to solve it. Let's save people first."
The family members were all in tears. The ambulance came and carried the person into the car. The person was still convulsing. The director and I followed them to the hospital. The family members arrived at the hospital, still in tears, and had no idea what had happened.
I reported it to the bureau. When the director heard it, he got furious and scolded me. But I had to endure it. The death certificate was issued, and the makeup artist also proved that the person was indeed dead when he was putting on makeup. But when he was put into the refining furnace, the person came back to life. As soon as the fire was lit, the person came back to life, and then he stopped.
The doctor told us that we would survive, but our fever was very severe.
As long as the person is not dead and can be saved, then everything will be easy.
I asked the director to bring someone to stay here and talk to the family members.
I returned to the crematorium and the director came with his men. After scolding me, he asked about the situation. Xiaobai was also there. This was definitely an accident.
After listening to this, the director felt a little sad. Can this person still live after death
"I haven't encountered it here, but I have heard of people who died for seven days and then came back to life. There is no medical explanation for what happened. It can only be said to be a strange thing. I remember when I was a child, our neighbor Lao Wang came out of the coffin after being buried and went home. He was alive, but he scared his mother to death."
Xiaobai said, I have nothing to say now.
"You need to understand this matter clearly and report it at any time. Agree to any request made by the family members and try to minimize the incident. We burned people to death, but this time it's people who were inflamed."
The director was also a little nervous and then left. This was definitely a weird thing.
I called Liu Shougui, and he took a long time to speak after listening.
"This is normal. This is a return to life. Just like what people say, the Black and White Impermanence caught the wrong person, and they found him and released him."
"Is this possible?"
"Medically speaking, it's a miracle. It's impossible, but it happened. This is one of the many strange things in the Yin and Yang worlds. It can also be considered in Yin studies."
He mentioned Yinxue to me. I had heard of it, but I still didn't understand what Yinxue was.
The family members came and demanded 1.2 million for hospital fees and future expenses, which is a bit high. If the person is indeed dead and there is a death certificate, we burned it as soon as we saw it. Such a thing was an accident and we are not responsible. We cannot pay 1.2 million and the director will not agree to it.
I told the family members my thoughts, and they started to make a fuss and became unreasonable. They also knew that it would be useless to reason with them. They make a fuss when someone dies or gets injured. This is the way Chinese people solve problems, and it often works well.
I will report this to the director immediately, the director said.
"Impossible, 1.2 million. We did nothing wrong in this matter. Let them sue us."
"It's just that..."
"Xiao Ke, this is not your fault. I will take responsibility if anything goes wrong."
The family filed a lawsuit and it was reported in the newspaper. This was a good thing. He would become famous within two days of being the director.
I stopped going to the dressing room. Li Xiaohuan followed another master to learn.
The family members made a fuss at the door every day, and it had been four or five days. The person at the hospital survived, but the cost of the operation had reached more than 400,000 yuan. The later costs added up, estimated to be one million yuan. An ordinary family simply could not afford it.
I told the director about this.
"Then the family can write a certificate stating that it is not our fault and report it in the newspaper. Out of humanitarian considerations, we may pay 500,000 yuan, not a cent more."
I talked to the family, but they didn't agree. So there was nothing I could do but to sue.
I became the defendant and sat in the dock. I never thought that one day I would sit here.
My photos were constantly in the newspapers.
Finally, the court ruled that we were only responsible for 20% of the liability and had to pay compensation of 220,000 yuan.
The family members continued to make trouble, so we called the police and they stopped.
We didn't want this to happen. Such a weird thing really caught me off guard.
After this incident, I kept a close eye on it and went around a few times every day. That day, I went to a room that had been used for a while as a warehouse and was filled with junk. I went in and saw several diaries, which turned out to be the notebooks from the crematorium, which recorded what had happened.
I took them out and looked at them in the office. The handwriting was very delicate, and it was obvious that a woman had written them down. All four notebooks were written by the same person. It seemed that this person had recorded everything that happened in the crematorium. It was simply a supernatural novel. Sometimes I was stunned while reading it. I thought that these things should be recorded. At least, they can let the people who come after them learn something and pay attention to something.
I looked at the date every day and actually saw records about my father. They were very detailed. I finally understood everything that happened to my father. After reading the date, I was completely stunned. I couldn't recover. Regarding this incident, I didn't believe it happened, nor did I want to believe it.
That day, Yun Bai and I were talking about you, the mother who gave birth to me and raised me. You were angry.
Yunbai, she and I were in my room, and I didn’t want grandma to know anything more.
"Why did you kill my father?"
When I said this, my mother closed her eyes.
"I hate it."
I don’t know what my mother Yun Bai hates, she must be hating my father.
"Mom, this may be the last time I call you. Please go away. I can't accept it. You killed my father."
Yunbai, I can only call her Yunbai, I no longer call her mother.
My grandma stayed and I found someone to take care of her.
When my mother left, she probably couldn't figure out how I knew about this.
I don't recognize the words on that date, but it was definitely written by a woman. This woman is an old lady in the crematorium and knows a lot.
When I went to work again, Li Xiaohuan came to me and said that the master was the one behind it.
"Okay, I'll go into the dressing room the day after tomorrow."
In fact, although I am the director, what I still cannot give up is makeup.
I will never give up on makeup. Makeup is an endless thing, and I know this best.
No matter what, I'm going to go on, makeup is something I can't get rid of.
I am not familiar with this handwriting and have never seen it before. I want to find this woman and want to know more things, mainly about my father and the big event that happened to my father that year. I really want to know. The whole city knows what happened to my father that year, but there are many problems with the details. That's what I want to know.
I began to want to know everything about my father's death. I didn't ask Yun Bai because she never told the truth. She would always lie to me and there would never be any truth. I would never know the truth.
But I know that I will gradually understand it, that is for sure.
Yun Bai would also know this, and she would get better. In fact, she has always been very good to me. But after I knew about this, I couldn't get better, especially when I saw that my father's death was caused by my mother. I couldn't accept this.
She lives with me now, and we have nothing to talk about, except with grandma.
Liu Yang comes to take care of us every day. I also know that Yun Bai is against me and Liu Yang being together, but she never told me the reason. This is the strangest thing. I don’t know what Yun Bai wants to do, but she has never hurt me. I am her son. She has her purpose, but I don’t know what it is. She fled this home and came back. What on earth does she want to do? I don’t know. (To be continued)
