This was the first time I encountered such heavy makeup, and it was wild makeup, and it was done in a coffin. It simply pushed my nerves to the limit, but I persisted because I had a decision. I wanted to develop the study of the Yin and decided to read He Dana's diaries. Although there were many weird things that scared me, I wanted to read them and make them into a diary. Perhaps it would be a contribution to the future study of the Yin. Even after my death, I might not regret it.
Liu Shougui came down and was also stunned when he saw my condition.
"You are so careless. Your hair is tangled. Don't break a single strand."
I know this. He Dana once told me that when putting on makeup, women must be careful with their hair so that it doesn't get tangled around their hands, which is something they often do.
It's troublesome when it gets entangled.
Liu Shougui tried to help me, but in the end there was nothing he could do. Two of the things were entangled and had to be torn apart. I looked at Liu Shougui.
"There is no choice, just like life, when you have no choice."
"Then choose to die."
"Maybe there is a glimmer of hope. You said that this job you took is really unique, coffin makeup, you are awesome."
Liu Shougui was also a little anxious. It was a little crazy for a father-in-law to say such things to his uncle. But Liu Shougui once said to me that we are brothers. He said that when he was drunk. He called me his younger brother and asked me to call him big brother. When he called me big brother the next day, he almost hit me.
"What will be the consequences of breaking it?"
"Broken hair cuts off love, tangled hair tangles love. Once it entangles you, there is love. If it is cut off, there is hatred. She will take revenge on you."
"I have nothing to do with her."
"This is called Yin love. Love comes from tangled hair and hate comes from broken hair."
"That's impossible."
"Yinxue, when you are free, read He Dana's diary immediately. I find that you are a little off track now."
What Liu Shougui said was indeed right, but I didn't dare to interrupt him.
Liu Shougui came up and tore it off immediately. "Fuck you! You are harming me! You are fine, but I am."
"Put on your makeup. I'll wait for you up there."
Liu Shougui was pulled up. I was stunned for a long time and started to put on makeup. It was not easy to put on makeup because the space was small and the light from the flashlight made me misjudge.
It took me three hours to put on my makeup before going upstairs. It was hot down there and there was little oxygen.
I felt a little dizzy when I went up, so I sat on the ground and it took me more than ten minutes to recover.
Take the money and leave, no matter what, it's done. What I worry about is the hair cutting. If there is no love, the hair will not cut off. If there is love, the hair will be cut off and then there will be hatred.
I went home and saw Liu Yang and Li Xiaohuan having dinner at home. I sat down at the table and started drinking because I felt so tired.
Liu Shougui went back to He Dana's house. As for what he was doing, I think I should know. He Dana left behind too many things and too many secrets. I need to know all of this. Liu Shougui reminded me that I should take the right path. Maybe paper-folding is just something I like, not the right path. I feel a little confused.
You can make a lot of money by taking on such a big makeup job, but it is also playing with human lives. Some family members are particular and know a little bit about the basics, but don't understand most other things. Sometimes they think the price is too high. In fact, this kind of work is the one that is most likely to have problems.
I didn't know what would happen to this incident of pulling out my hair. The reason is very simple: cutting hair will sever feelings and create hatred and grudges.
I went back to the paper-making room, where there were even more strange things. He Ping said that paper-making looks like it is not just a skeleton plus paper, but in fact it is not that simple. The strange aura will accumulate slowly, and each piece of paper-making will accumulate some.
I believe in such things.
Liu Yang and Li Xiaohuan have been living upstairs in the city. I spend every day in the paper-making room, thinking about these paper-making activities.
It was the third day of doing the Yin-Yang makeup when I felt like I was tripped by something. I knew something was coming. This woman's broken hair was something I kept thinking about. Sometimes, I would sit there in a daze.
I called Liu Shougui, but he didn't answer.
If I move now, I might trip at any step, as if my legs were tied up by some rope.
I knew it was the Yin-Yang makeup that caused the problem. I didn’t know what that woman was trying to do, but I felt like something was going to go wrong. What’s more terrifying is that I have never encountered this problem before.
There are so many things that people have never encountered in their lives, and it will be the same for you until you die.
There was nothing I could do about pulling my hair out, and it wasn't intentional for it to get tangled and knotted, but it happened.
Now I try not to walk and sit in one place to make paper-cut works. I have work almost every day, but they are not big jobs. Most of them are making paper-cut works of horses, cows, people, etc.
The next day, I got up in the morning and couldn't walk. I stumbled with every step. I called Liu Shougui again, but still no one answered.
I thought he was in trouble too, because he was the one who tore his hair out.
What should I do? I don’t know, the only thing I can do is not move, but I can’t stay still forever.
I used scissors to cut it, but I couldn't see what it was. After I cut it, it didn't work. It seems that ordinary scissors don't work well.
I didn't expect that the family members would come. Two people, the woman's family members, came in and sat on the chairs in the yard.
"We took so much money, but there were still problems."
This was something I had not expected.
"What's the problem?"
"The grave."
Regarding grave holes, I know that when a person has resentment, a hole will appear in the grave. It is a small hole, which goes straight up and down on the grave. It means the ghost has left the grave and is not preparing to reincarnate.
Why does this problem occur
"How did she die?"
"He died of illness."
"What's wrong?"
"The cause of the disease has not been found yet."
"I want to meet her husband."
The family members were stunned.
"I don't think this is necessary. You're a makeup artist, you should know what's going on."
“Things happen for a reason.”
The family hesitated for a moment and made a phone call. Half an hour later, a man came in. I saw that the man had a blue color on his face, a ghostly blue color. It seemed that he was entangled by something, but it was too light to be seen. However, the matter here might not be that simple.
The man sat down and said nothing, looking cautious.
"I'm Ke Mingzhe. I want to ask you something. How did your wife die?"
"He died of illness. Here are the medical records. The cause of his illness was never found until his death."
I took a look at him and thought this man was quite strange.
"What's your job?"
"library."
I looked at the man again and found something wrong. The blue color was not caused by something, but another kind of blue. If you look closely, you will see a kind of blue color on people working in the crematorium. It is this kind of blue that I am very familiar with. So, this person understands Yin studies and it seems that he has played something. So, the death of this woman was not due to illness. The hospital could not find out the cause of the disease, not at all. It should be a matter of Yin studies, after all, it is a subject that has not been involved.
He Dana once told me that there was a book in a collection room of the library. He put it there. I don’t know why he put it there, and he didn’t say. He also didn’t say what book it was, but from what he said, it seemed to be a very important book. It seemed to have something to do with Yin studies, because the book was a bit evil, so he put it there.
I cannot understand what He Dana did. He did not put the books at home but put them in the library. I don't understand.
After he said that, I didn't look for it, because I knew the library was the largest library in the province, and there were tens of millions of books there, so how could I find it? Besides, the book was in an old study room, and those books were almost unused, the kind that had been left there for more than ten years without anyone borrowing them. There was only a manager in the study room, and after dusting it every week, almost no one went in.
"The city library? What exactly do you do?"
"Does this have anything to do with my wife's death? What did you do to her? A grave hole appeared? What exactly are you trying to achieve?"
The man asked back, "I'm here," and when I heard that, I knew he was getting anxious and there was a problem.
"Take me to your house."
The man stood up immediately.
"Are you mentally ill?"
I called the woman's father to my side and whispered.
"There is something wrong with your son-in-law. You can't let him move now. I want to go to his house."
The woman's father was stunned, frowned, and nodded. He probably also suspected the problem in this regard. The woman was in good health, but she was suddenly hospitalized. In just a few days, she passed away.
When I was about to call Liu Shougui, he actually came. He asked the family members to leave first, and then he took out a knife. It was a piece of bone, very small, and he cut my leg several times.
"It's okay. I'll go get this bone knife."
"You knew this was going to happen?"
"Of course, when you were putting on makeup, you should have seen the resentment of this woman. We tore her hair, so naturally she came after us."
"Go to that man's house."
Liu Shougui and I went to the man's house, and the man was very angry.
"We're looking for a book."
After I finished speaking, Liu Shougui glanced at me and must have thought, "Are you crazy?" What book should I look for? I should look for what method this man used, or what other weird things are there in his home.
"What book?"
The man's pretended calmness could be seen.
"In that library, there is an old book. I think you saw it by accident. You read it, so you..."
The man sweated.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I love reading. What's wrong with reading? Can you find problems with reading?"
"That's a very special book, so I think you should know."
"You're in a bad mental state, get out."
The man's father-in-law stood up and said.
"Don't get angry, I'll search."
The man's father-in-law was looking for the book everywhere. We didn't say anything. Liu Shougui seemed to understand something and stood at the bookshelf to look. This man had really a lot of books, probably more than 10,000 volumes.
Liu Shougui looked at it and thought it would not be easy to find the book among more than ten thousand books.
Liu Shougui took out a few books, then pushed the board at the back, and the board flipped over. It was a secret compartment. Some people would do this to hide precious books inside. There was a book inside. The man jumped up, and I held him down, and the man stopped struggling.
Liu Shougui took out the book, took a look at it, and was shocked. It was a book on "Ghost Studies", a book on the soul in the study of the Yin, and it was actually like this.
"How did you find it?"
The man was not convinced.
"In fact, most people can't find it. Unfortunately, I know a carpenter. I can tell at a glance that your work is something he can do. Only he can make a bookshelf like this. It's very expensive and high-end. Of course, there's more than one secret compartment behind the bookshelf."
The man stopped talking.
