Folk Stories About Corpse Burning

Chapter 198: Makeup for funeral

Views:

The dressing room is very simple and cannot be compared with those in the city. After all, it is in a small county town, much worse than Chi County. This county is a poor county.

Regarding makeup, it is not the kind of makeup that we ordinary people wear. There are twelve kinds of makeup, according to the attributes. There are twelve kinds of human attributes, and the zodiac sign is what kind of person is, so the makeup should be different. The deceased was born in the year of the pig, which is a black pig, so black makeup is used. White is covered with black, and black is covered with white. The black and white are clearly distinguished. However, this kind of makeup is the most disadvantageous to the makeup artist. There is a saying that once makeup is applied, there must be a mourning. Then, to break this mourning, blood will be seen. At least how blood will be seen is unpredictable. Today I agreed to apply this makeup, and I also thought that in my life here, maybe there is something exciting and I have experienced more things. After all, Lv Pin is young and still has a small county as the deputy director of this crematorium, so he doesn’t know what the consequences of makeup will be.

I did the treatment for four hours that day. When it was over, the family member came and looked very proud. He took a look and said.

"Is it all right?"

I was wondering how they knew about the cosmetics. Someone must have told them. I didn't get the black bag that day, which made me happy. If someone gives you a black bag and you refuse it, they would be sad. They probably didn't understand this, so the sadness was passed on to the family.

I was in a good mood that day, so Lu Pin and I found a place to eat in the small county town.

The next day was my day off, which was also Sunday. At that time, we only had Sundays off. I worked in shifts, so I worked whichever day I could.

Lu Pin asked me to stay in the county town, which is a good idea.

I was quite surprised by Lu Pin's home. He lives alone in a big and luxurious house with a Western feel. It seems that Lu Pin's family background should be quite good.

"Did your father agree?"

"My father died early, and I grew up with my aunt. She treated me like her own daughter. She didn't agree at first, but now she agrees. You don't have to worry about this."

"But what about my conditions?"

"As long as you are a nice person."

Actually, I can’t understand this.

The next day, Lu Pin was called to the crematorium. I accompanied him. The man had already been cremated. They wanted to give me the black bag, but it was useless after the fact. I accepted it, but it was useless anyway.

"You have to handle this matter well. You didn't tell us about the funeral transfer. You are trying to trick us. If something really goes wrong, you will be dead too."

They were still so arrogant. After they left, I asked Lu Pin.

"Who are they?"

"There is a rich man in the county. It seems that their grandfather did something, at least he was a businessman. He seems to have a lot of money. The largest house in the county center belongs to them. It has a tall gatehouse with brick carvings. There are dragons and phoenixes on it. The ancient system was very strict. Ordinary people could not have dragons and phoenixes. If they did, their clan would be exterminated. You should also understand this. That is what it has to do with the Yellow Emperor."

"That's all in the past and has nothing to do with the present."

"I heard that if you take out any item from their house, you can buy the whole county. That's probably the reason."

I don't want to say anything more.

I knew something was bound to happen, but I didn't expect to get into trouble here.

I went back the next day and told He Dana what happened. He looked at me for a long time and said.

"This is the Huo family."

"The relationship is complicated. If you get involved, you will get into trouble. I have been involved before, but I suffered losses. This time, the same is true for you. Then we should worry about it together. You are my son. If you die, no one will cry for me."

I don’t know what happened to He Dana, he didn’t tell me. There are some things He Dana doesn’t talk about, and I don’t ask.

I don't know what will happen.

At work, I burn people, every day. I don't know how many people I will burn by the time I retire, but I remember how many people I burn every day. I also write down the special ones. Maybe they are not things from Yinxue. What He Dana remembers is probably completely different from mine. I feel that mine is like flowing water, but occasionally there will be big waves and strange things encountered. If it is a novel, it should also be a weird novel.

When I got home from get off work that day, my father asked me about my relationship with Lu Pin, and I just said that everything was fine.

I think it's enough for her to be good to Xiaozhe and her father. As for Yunbai, I let her go. I really can't crack that spell, and I don't think about cracking it anymore. I really have no other choice.

This happened a week later. Something happened to the Huo family in Kang County. Six people died in one fell swoop. The Huo family was a large family with more than 30 people living together in that compound. The compound was big enough, and more than 30 people living together seemed few in number.

Six people died in one go. It's really scary. It seems that the Huo family will definitely hold me responsible for this.

Lu Pin called the crematorium, and the manager asked me to answer the phone, so I answered.

"Hide for a while. If they go to the crematorium to look for you, you might get into trouble."

I didn't hide, but stayed in the director's office. I knew that this matter was a matter of life and death, and there was nowhere to hide. Besides, I had a son and a father, so where could I hide? Hiding was never a solution to the problem. It would only make things more complicated and impossible to get through.

More than ten people came, all in mourning. I regretted not running away. They wanted to beat me up, wouldn't they? The manager also advised me to hide.

When they came in, they didn't hit me. They just sat down and looked at me and said something.

"Ke Zuo, Master Ke, we asked for the makeup, and the person who instructed us didn't tell us about the black bag. Of course, after you put on the makeup, there will be a funeral. So, it's not your fault, but you have to help us find that person and help us solve this problem. After all, there are six lives. Some people say that these people died in secret, not normal deaths. Do you have a solution?"

I was stunned. If they beat me up and beat me half to death, or opened the door, the problem would be solved, but I didn't know what Yin Death was. Is there any way to save them? Can they still come back to life

"I'm so sorry, I didn't understand."

"That is to say, these six people can have a chance of surviving within three days."

I was stunned. I never knew that the dead could come back to life. If that happened, the world would be in chaos and there would be no dead people.

"The dead can be resurrected? That's impossible. I've never heard of it."

"Ke Zuo, don't be shameless. We can beat you to death."

"If you kill me, you will also have to pay with your life."

"Of course, you have to pay with your life, but we in the Huo family won't do it. We have money."

I know they can find a way.

"Let me think about this matter again. I haven't heard of it. I need to ask. And I don't know who is behind you."

"A short old man with a glass eye in his left eye."

I didn't want to ask any more questions. I had never known such an old man.

When I went to He Dana's place that day, I had no other choice.

I told him what happened. He Dana smoked and didn't speak for a long time, as if he was recalling something.

I stood up and walked around. This matter really made me upset.

"This is what happened. The old man was exterminated. He has never been to a crematorium. He was a wild burner, burning people to death."

"What's that name?"

"He was originally from the Green tribe, a minority ethnic group with only six people. Ten years ago, he is the only one left. I don't know much about this ethnic group, but I have a grudge against genocide. One of the people he pointed out was to kill someone with a borrowed knife. He didn't come for you, but for me. Those six people died in secret, which is what we call fake death. They can be saved within three days, but..."

I didn't expect it to be like this, this miege's method is really powerful, killing with a borrowed knife, and the killing method is weird.

I have never understood why if He Dana offends someone, he will be killed. He is really arrogant to an extreme extent.

"Yin death is fake death. He can be rescued within three days, but what?"

"Let's find Miege first."

Regarding Miege, a Grimm, and a wild burn master, these are all too new and weird to me.

Anyway, I want to go over and see what the Green people look like and what kind of brains they have.

He Dana and I went to a most remote county. We took a three-hour bus ride, then another hour and a half by car, and walked along a mountain road for another two hours before we arrived at a village. It was too far away.

But the scenery here is so special and beautiful that it breaks my heart when I see it.

We entered the village. There were not many houses, scattered around.

"Miege is the only Grimm here. The others are mixed. These people moved in later."

We entered the village and walked to the door of Miege. The wooden door looked like it was about to fall down. I knocked on the door and someone came out. I was startled. He was a short old man with a weird look. When he saw He Dana, he laughed like a scream, "Fuck you, you're killing me." I felt cold all over, extremely cold.

We entered the house and saw some things in the house that should belong to the Green people. I had never seen them before. He Dana told me not to touch those things when I went in.

The tea was poured, I took a sip and spat it out. Miege laughed shrilly again, "Damn it!"

"This is wild tea, it can cure all diseases, it's bitter to the core, isn't it?"

That's really bitter. Is Coptis chinensis bitter? Not as bitter as this. I won't drink it. It's too uncomfortable. He Dana drank it, but his brows were tightly knitted.

"Crazy He, you're finally here. We haven't seen each other for ten years. I missed you a lot."

"You are still so insidious, always using such tricks."

"I know you can, only you can, give you a welcome gift."

This Mie Ge is a bit weird to you. He doesn't look like a wise man. He said He Dana is a lunatic. I think he is simply a lunatic.

"What is your purpose?"

"It's very simple. You also know the reason why the Green tribe was eventually exterminated, but it is inseparable from the Huo family. You also know that the Huo family stole something from the Green tribe. I have always wanted to take it back. It seems that my time is running out, so I have to take it back."

"You can't do it yourself, but you play this trick on me. What benefit can you give me?"

"I don't want that thing. Give it to me. I just want to avenge this vengeance. You will burn me in the wild. You have burned people all my life. You will burn me too. Of course, you only need to help me pick up my bones, and then put them in the coffin and grave. It is that simple."

"That's a great deal, I can do that."

"Then go and save the six people from the Huo family."

He Dana stood up after listening to this, he lit a cigarette and looked out the window. The scenery here was really beautiful, and people's hearts should be kind, but this is not the case. I always thought that the environment would change a person's character, but this is not the case.

He Dana remained silent for a long time. (To be continued)
