After this incident happened, I have always had a question in my mind: what happened
When I went to Liu Shan's place again, he was sitting there in a daze, not saying a word.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"My house."
"It was just a house, and it was all burned down."
"Yes, yes, weren't my things burned?"
I asked Liu Shan while we were drinking.
"This flaw must be left, just like a person, who cannot be perfect. If he is perfect without flaws, he will die young. It's the same with stabbing himself. If he is too perfect, something bad will happen. It's like stabbing yourself, stabbing the dead. Do you think I can still live?"
"Is there anything else to say?"
"What do you think? Even Ji Yihe wouldn't dare to do that. However, we can have one thing that is perfect, and that is before we die."
"What about the urn, or the coffin without any gaps?"
"That's what I prepared for myself. The things are ready, and the time of death has come. Okay, let's not talk about it anymore. I'll continue the injection tomorrow."
I think this Zhachi is quite interesting.
Just a few days after this incident, another thing happened. Someone came to me and said he wanted to make a paper coffin.
"You should go find someone else. I'm just a burner."
"A friend recommended it to me."
The man said the friend's name, and I knew this friend.
"Well, I'll take you there."
I took it to Liu Shan, and Liu Shan actually started working on the house again.
"I don't think you should do this anymore."
Liu Shan was stunned and looked at me for a long time before saying.
"Yes, yes, I won't do it anymore."
Liu Shan really refused to do it. I always feel that if we build the house again, it will be easy to have problems.
We entered the house and I said that this person wanted to make a paper coffin. Liu Shan glared at me.
"No, no matter how much money you pay me, I won't do it."
The man was stunned, didn't say anything else, and turned and left.
"Why?"
"Tie paper instead of coffin. It's against the will of heaven to tie a coffin."
"What's the meaning?"
"The coffin is made of wood, not paper. It's a fake coffin. To make a coffin is to make a life. This is the rhythm of my death."
"No way?"
"I think you guys have your own rules for burning people to death, right? Every profession has its own rules, you should know them."
Liu Shan was very angry.
"Forget it, I don't understand. If I don't want to get a piercing then I won't."
"But this person still wants to come. I've never made a paper coffin before. This person seems to understand. How did he find you?"
I said it.
"Call that friend over here."
I went to call that friend, and when I came back, the wine and food were ready and Liu Shan had locked the door.
"Is that man your friend?"
Liu Shan asked my friend.
"He's just a classmate. I don't know anything, so I asked Xiao Zuo to find someone. He's in this line of work, so he should have some connections with you guys."
"What does he do?"
"A gravekeeper in a cemetery."
Liu Shan glanced at me.
"What cemetery?"
"Qingxiu Garden."
I know about Qingxiu Garden, a cemetery with nearly ten thousand graves, the largest in the city.
My friend left early because of something, so Liu Shan and I had a drink.
"After dark, we'll go to Qingxiu Garden."
I glanced at Liu Shan. I don’t really like going to cemeteries.
After dark that day, we went to the cemetery.
The gravekeeper's house was at the entrance, and we met the man, the gravekeeper.
He let us into the house.
"You asked me to make a paper coffin, there must be something going on."
"No."
This person does not admit it.
"Don't deny it. Who instructed you?"
The man was silent for a long time and then said.
"Then I'll just say it straight. I'm in trouble. People say I can just make a coffin and burn it."
"What's the trouble?"
"I peed on a grave over there..."
You idiot, it's fine if you're disrespectful to the dead, but you even peed on them, you're looking for death.
We went to the tomb, which was the tomb of a young woman, and the photo was a little faded.
"What's going on?"
"In the middle of the night, she would hang around my window and scare me to death."
Liu Shan glanced at me, pulled me aside and whispered.
"We don't care about this, let's go!"
Unexpectedly, a few days later, the man found me again.
"Master Ke, I beg you, she actually came to my back window and hung out. I apologized to her and even knelt down, but it didn't work. If she continues like this, I will die."
"Who told you to make a paper coffin?"
"This person won't let me say it."
"How can I help you if you don't tell me?"
"Liu Shougui."
It turned out to be the ugly ghost Liu Shougui. This fellow had caused a lot of trouble. Now he was guarding the columbarium and giving random instructions.
"You go back first, I'll find you then."
After this guy left, I went to the columbarium in Chixian.
Liu Shougui was drinking. When he saw me come in, he stood up and spoke.
"Old Ke, Ke Shao... Gaga Gaga..."
Liu Shougui used to work in our crematorium. When a big incident happened, he was transferred to the crematorium in Chixian. Then another incident happened, so he was sent here to guard this tower.
"Ugly ghost, you instructed a man to make a paper coffin, aren't you harming Liu Shan?"
"Yes, I did harm him. It was just the beginning. Don't you know that I have a grudge against him?"
"What grudge?"
"I was learning makeup that year, and he brought a living person to play with me. It almost scared me to death."
"What's going on? Why did you kill a living person?"
"It's really a big deal talking about this. He and I were classmates. When we were in school, I was ugly, and he used this to make fun of me. This lasted for six years. These six years made me feel extremely uncomfortable, so I set fire to his house. I just burned the warehouse to scare him, but he held a grudge against me. That year, he let someone lie on the makeup bed and switched me. After I finished my makeup, the person suddenly jumped up and screamed. I was almost scared to death at the time..."
When I heard that, I burst out laughing “Hahahaha”.
Liu Shougui punched me and said.
"You're still laughing. I'm the unlucky one because I'm wearing the makeup of a dead person. Then something bad happened. The bad luck kept following me until I came to this broken tower."
I didn't expect this.
"But you can't kill yourself. Isn't that killing yourself?"
"He's not stupid, he won't hurt me, it's just disgusting to him."
I thought the matter was over and it was impossible to tie the coffin. However, I didn't expect that Liu Shan knew about it and actually placed a paper man in front of Liu Shougui's house. The two of them started to compete with each other.
If you place a paper figure in front of someone's door, the owner of the house will say, "If a paper figure sits on your head, you will be in trouble even if you don't die. This is a cruel trick."
That day, the gravekeeper came to see me again.
"I can't make a coffin for you, that would be a death sentence."
"I know that, but Master Ke, please help me. She comes to me every day and I can't stand it anymore. If she continues like this, I will hang myself. I have the rope ready."
I glanced at this man and his face turned pale.
"Okay, you come tomorrow and I'll take a rest tomorrow."
The next day, I took this kid to He Dana and told him what happened. He Dana scolded me for meddling in other people's business and said that it was his own fault.
"This kid keeps pestering me and won't let me go. I'm getting fed up with him."
"Come over and have a look later. I'll treat you to a meal."
That kid can ask for anything now, let alone treat us to a meal.
He Dana said after looking at the tomb.
"Go to his house and wait."
When we went to that guy's house, his wife and children had already run back to their parents' home. Who wouldn't be scared
We ate, drank and chatted until midnight, when the woman showed up, wandering around.
"She wants to avenge this. An unmarried woman saw your thing. It seems that you can just cut it off and throw it away, and everything will be fine."
The boy sat down on the ground.
"Master, Master, you must not do that, I am a man..."
The boy cried.
He Dana kicked him.
"Bear color."
He Dana went out and came back in a moment later pulling a rope. The boy stood aside, followed by the female ghost. The boy shouted and jumped onto the kang, shivering.
"Look at you, you bear."
I sat there without saying anything.
He Dana said.
"I'll take this."
After he reeled in the line, the female ghost disappeared, and the boy actually stood there and peed.
"Take us to Da Lai to eat, this food is not delicious."
"Master, I'm not going. I'll give you money. I'll give you money. We'll go by ourselves."
The boy took out more than four hundred yuan, so it seemed he still had some money.
We took the money and left, and the guy followed us out. He didn't even lock the door and ran away very fast. I've never seen anyone run that fast.
"Godfather, is it okay for you to play like this?"
"It's okay. I'll let this ghost go back in two days."
I don't know what He Dana is playing at. He has been to the ghost market, raised ghosts, and killed ghosts. This is a matter of Yin studies. If there were laws, He Dana would have died several times.
I think that in many years, China will have laws on this subject, when people know that there are another kind of ghost-like people.
When I got home that day, Liu Shougui was actually waiting for me outside.
"Do you think Liu Shan is a bad person? He made a paper man and placed it at my door. People thought I was dead."
"Isn't it nothing serious?"
"Yes, I'll make it easy for him this time."
"Master Liu, forget it. This is not good for anyone. Let me be a lobbyist and bring you two together."
That day, the two got together and talked all night before they finally reconciled, but both were angry.
No matter what, just don't make a fuss.
The next day when I went to work, Yun Bai came to the refining room to find me.
"Xiao Zuo, I want to ask you something."
I frowned and got angry just thinking about it.
"Wait for me outside."
I asked a partner to help me, changed my clothes and left.
We left the crematorium, Yun Bai said.
"I want you to accompany me to Fu County."
I was stunned. What was I going to do in Fu County
"What?"
"There's a body to burn, and I..."
I frowned, but still agreed.
Fu County is a county in this city. It is a very poor county, but it is very particular about secret matters. The poorer it is, the more particular it is.
Yunbai and I went to Fu County, a family in the west of the county seat, where they set up a mourning shed.
When we went over, Yun Bai obviously knew him.
When I entered the room, the corpse was cold and water was dripping down. I lifted the shroud and was stunned. I had not expected it to be like this. I covered the body with the shroud and called Yun Bai to go outside to the yard.
"That's a flower corpse. You asked me to burn it. What's your intention? I let you go, but you still punish me like this..."
"Xiao Zuo, I'm sorry, I definitely didn't mean that. I really had no choice. This family is a distant relative and they found me. If my father wasn't dead, they would burn him. But now I have no one to turn to."
I thought Yun Bai wouldn't harm me like this, but that was a flower corpse.
A flower corpse is a corpse with dark spots on it, like flowers on it. This kind of flower corpse is invaded by evil spirits, and it is not that it has been kept for a long time. If it has been kept for a long time, then there will be no problem. This person died the day before yesterday, and he is a flower corpse. This is because he did not do good things when he was alive. His life is in his hands, but it has not been resolved and there is no punishment. In fact, such a flower body cannot be burned, but broken into pieces. Of course, the family members will absolutely disagree. If I burn it, then that life, the life that is owed, will come to trouble me.
I frowned and Yun Bai looked at me.
"I think you'll find a way. I'm sorry."
I went back to find He Dana. I didn't want to lose my life. I still had Xiaozhe to take care of. (To be continued)
