I was sweating, I had never seen a corpse like this.
It seems that all this was arranged by Bu Lele. I will be responsible for doing all the heavy makeup. There is nothing wrong with that. Doing heavy makeup is a skill.
"Xiao Huan, I'm afraid we will all be wearing heavy makeup in the future. This is good. We can learn more. Learn from me in the future. I will teach you ghost makeup in a few days."
"Ghost makeup?"
I didn't say anything and looked at the corpse. The head of the corpse was twisted. This was a ghost turning his head. At the moment of death, the head turned 180 degrees. There were very few corpses like this. As for why this happened, no one could explain it clearly. However, such corpses were also very troublesome because the head had to be turned.
After I died, everything was stiff. It was impossible to turn my head around.
I went out and found the family members.
"The head is turned around, the back is turned around, do you want to turn it around, or just leave it like this?"
"What do you do as a makeup artist?"
I can understand that the family members are in a bad mood at this time. Who wouldn't feel pain after losing a loved one? That's impossible. I lost my father, and I can understand that kind of pain.
"Listen to me, this is a ghost turning his head. After he died, this head is not straight anymore. He will always be looking at you. He misses you and thinks about you. He cannot be reincarnated like this. If he turns his head, his bones will be broken, and we have to connect them. If we don't, he will die within three days after reincarnation."
The family members were discussing it there for a long time and told me.
"Turn, you must turn."
I turned around and went back.
"Xiao Huan, turn around, sit aside and watch, drink coffee, and relax."
"Okay, Master, you look best when you're working."
"Don't be so talkative. This is not the time to be so talkative."
This is dressing room number 13, ghost number, and I don’t know what’s going to happen.
I took out the black thread from the makeup box, tied my hands and feet together, stood at the top of the head, and held my head with both hands.
The force must be strong enough, and when it was in place, I turned my head sharply and buckled it down. At the same time, there was a "click" sound, and Li Xiaohuan was startled.
I turned the body over, pinched the bones, and broke them.
I took out a knife, cut open the broken bone, then put in a steel bar, sutured it, and put on makeup. The knife wound on the neck couldn't be seen, so I put on thick makeup. After that, I sat aside and let Li Xiaohuan put on makeup.
Li Xiaohuan's technique is a bit slow, but it looks pretty good.
"Xiao Huan, be gentle and quick. Don't repeat the makeup after it's been applied..."
I was drinking tea. This dressing room was really comfortable. Actually, I didn't know that Bu Lele had asked two makeup artists to watch me put on makeup in the video. This was learning makeup, whether secretly or openly. Anyway, I have to be careful in the future. For things like this, there are some makeup methods that cannot be seen by them. It's not that I don't let them learn, but something bad will happen if they don't learn well.
I came out and the family member gave me a black bag. I nodded. Lele saw all of this. I went into the dressing room again and she called me to her office on the radio. I told her that I was working and would come after I finished the work. She seemed very angry and there was a sound from the radio.
After lunch that day, we went to the cafeteria to eat. Our cafeteria is all self-service and the food is first-class.
Li Xiaohuan and I were sitting there eating when Bu Lele came over.
"Give me the red envelope. You are not allowed to accept it. You will be punished. Your salary will be deducted."
I put the black bag on the table, Bu Lele picked it up and left, Li Xiaohuan stood up suddenly, and I pulled him down.
"Why, you're still not convinced?"
Bu Lele said to Li Xiaohuan.
I waved my hand and she left.
"What?"
Li Xiaohuan muttered softly.
In fact, Bu Lele's behavior is normal. She is working. If she can get the crematorium ready, I won't say anything.
The afternoon is the study time. There is a classroom for each type of work, and teachers from all over the country are invited to give lectures.
Our teacher is a makeup artist from the provincial crematorium, he is in his sixties and a retired old makeup artist. He talks about very ordinary makeup. Actually, you can't learn much here. Some makeup techniques will not be taught, just like ghost makeup, which cannot be taught. Apart from his own apprentices, he probably won't pass it on to other people.
I was playing with my phone downstairs and the teacher got angry. He pointed at me and told me to stand up.
"What's wrong with you? Everyone is listening, why aren't you listening?"
There are thirty makeup artists here, all looking at me from home.
"What you said is nothing new. Everyone here knows it, and they are no worse than you, so I think you should talk about something we don't know."
"You can? Then try it on and let me see."
There was a prosthesis on the stage and a makeup box was placed on the side. I glanced at Li Xiaohuan.
"Forget it, I won't go up, let my apprentice do it."
Li Xiaohuan was a little nervous. To be honest, Li Xiaohuan's makeup skills were not well-learned and were just average.
"Master, I won't go."
Li Xiaohuan's face turned red.
I walked onto the stage.
"Teacher, what kind of makeup do you want me to wear?"
"You're good at it. I want to see how capable you are."
I thought about it for a long time and said.
"Your makeup case doesn't have enough. I'll go back and get my own."
In my own makeup box, there are many things that I made myself, and some that were given to me by my master. Those makeup items cannot be bought, but they are very useful.
I took it from the makeup box, opened it, and the teacher looked inside. There were some things I believe he didn't see.
I didn't say anything and put on ghost makeup.
I said when I started putting on makeup.
"Li Xiaohuan, come and give me a hand."
Actually, I just wanted Li Xiaohuan to stand aside and watch. I put on ghost makeup today. You see, you only see the surface of it. Only when I tell you about it, that is the truth. I let Li Xiaohuan see it, and then I will go back and tell her about it.
I spent an hour and a half on makeup that day. Since I had nothing to do in the afternoon, I put on ghost makeup. The teacher looked at it for a long time, turned around and left. The makeup artists below were all stunned. It was indeed a perfect makeup. I looked at it myself and thought it was very good, Li Xiaohuan said after being stunned for a long time.
"Master, I love you."
Her voice was so soft that I was stunned. Li Xiaohuan returned to her seat with a red face. I packed my makeup box and sat back, and Bu Lele came in.
"Ke Mingzhe, how capable do you think you are? Are the teachers we invited from the province not as good as you? Why are you showing off?"
I didn't say anything. Bu Lele's behavior was too much, but I endured it. I had to endure it.
Bu Lele was very angry that day. After the meeting, Li Xiaohuan and I went back to the lounge to rest.
"Master, this Bu Lele is so irritating."
"Be patient. Being a human being means being patient. This is how many things in the world are."
I was reading a book while Bu Lele was sitting there watching TV. Our lounge is absolutely first-class, with a bed, a sofa, a TV, and many things for fitness.
Bu Lele didn't bother us again. After get off work, Li Xiaohuan got into my car.
"Master, I want to go to your house for dinner."
I was stunned. Liu Yang didn't like Li Xiaohuan.
"Forget it, I'll change it. I have something else to do today."
Li Xiaohuan pouted like a child and didn't say anything.
When I got home that day, Liu Yang had already arrived home.
"How's the new place?"
"It's quite good, the treatment is like that of a five-star hotel. You can go out and have a look when you have time."
"Well, I won't go. Why go to the crematorium for no reason? Are you crazy?"
Liu Yang told me that everything at the Fujia Courtyard had been almost cleaned up, and that I could go to Chixian after dinner to take a look. Actually, I didn't want to move, as I felt a little tired today, but I didn't say anything, as she had always been worried that I would have emotional problems.
Liu Yang was driving that day and I fell asleep in the car. I actually dreamed of Yinyan. Her eyes startled me and woke me up.
"Are you dreaming?"
"oh."
The wealthy mansion in Chi County has now been replaced by Ke’s residence. I think it’s a bit too ostentatious, which is always not good.
When I went in, the yard was tidy and looked very beautiful. Every room had been cleaned and decorated, which was quite nice. What I was most worried about was the back of the screen wall in the backyard. When I went there, it had been sealed off with blue bricks.
"Don't worry about this place. It's sealed off. There will be absolutely no problems."
Actually, this is not what I am worried about. The grave of the rich family is here, so will the eldest, second, and Fu Jiao of the rich family come to visit? I don't know if the eldest of the rich family is okay now.
Yunbai hasn't come yet, so I think there shouldn't be any big problems.
"We're getting married on July 1st. I've already informed my friends. You should also inform them."
I nodded. Actually, I also want to get married, have a stable family, and leave a descendant for the Ke family. This would be the best way to repay the Ke family.
That day we lived in Chixian, our new house.
That night, I was worried about what might happen, but in fact nothing happened. My worry was probably unnecessary, because with Liu Shougui, all the weirdness would probably disappear.
Liu Shougui lives next to He Dana. Actually, I prefer He Dana's yard, but Liu Yang doesn't like it, and it's closer to his workplace.
The next day at work, Bu Lele asked me to go to her office. She actually put her feet on the desk. This style is also good.
"Captain Bu, what are your plans?"
"Ke Mingzhe, I'm telling you, stop trying to be in the limelight and just work for me honestly."
"Captain Bu, I realize you are being serious with me. Isn't this a bad idea? I have never offended you. You don't have to do this. I will not take your position as the captain."
"I'm really right about you. Actually, I don't like you very much. I'm a sentimental person. If I don't like someone at first sight, I will never like him/her again. You are one of them."
I didn't expect this to happen.
"Well, you have the power to fire me. To be honest, I don't like it here."
"I will. I'm looking for an opportunity. I hope you can give me one."
"Yes, today."
I turned and walked away.
Actually, I have a connection with the crematorium. I want to leave the crematorium, not just on impulse. I have always wanted to leave, but I don’t know if I can leave. This time I will try to leave. I have been in the crematorium for a long time. Anyway, this new crematorium no longer has any trace of my father. I have nothing to miss when I leave. (To be continued)
