Views:

Lin Banxia peacefully spent the night in the bedroom. It was a quiet night, nothing happened.

The next day, he got up refreshed and called Ji Leshui when he was ready to go to work after washing up.

The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered. Lin Banxia was worried when she heard a soft "hello" from the other end, it was Ji Leshui's voice.

Hearing Ji Leshui answering the phone, Lin Banxia breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Good morning, how was your sleep last night?"

"Not bad." I don't know if the signal is bad, Ji Leshui's voice sounded vague.

Lin Banxia said, "Then I'll go to work today, and I'll bring your luggage over tomorrow."

"Okay." Ji Leshui said.

Lin Banxia said, "Why does your voice sound a little out of spirit?"

"No." Ji Leshui said vaguely, "I'm fine, you can go, you don't need to bring me your luggage for the time being."

Lin Banxia wanted to say something, but the phone had already been hung up.

The sad part of adults is this, no matter how broken things happen, the class should still get on. The nature of Lin Banxia's work is a bit special, dealing with funeral homes. But he is not affiliated with the funeral home, and he spends most of his time dealing with severely damaged corpses in some accidents. Broken bodies such as jumping off buildings have become commonplace. The worst is some corpses that have been severely injured in traffic accidents. With bad luck, they are almost shoveled up with a shovel. Don't count on whole corpses.

Because of the special nature of work, Lin Banxia's work intensity is not high. However, there are not many people who can do this. Most people can't stand it after two or three months. Lin Banxia is an outlier among them. He has been in this industry for two years, and he has never changed jobs since graduating from university. After all, apart from being a bit scary, this job offers good benefits.

Lin Banxia is lucky today. He has not encountered anything since he went to work. He remembers Ji Leshui in his heart, and he is not in a relaxed mood.

Ji Leshui has been missing since he received a call from him in the morning. Wechat didn't answer, phone call didn't answer, and the phone call couldn't get through.

Sitting in the office, Lin Banxia was very worried, thinking that she must visit after get off work.

Lin Banxia's colleague Liu Xi is a warm-hearted person. Seeing his rare expression of grief, he asked curiously, "Yo, Banxia, what's the matter today, why are you so worried?"

Lin Banxia said, "It's nothing."

"It doesn't look like it's okay." Liu Xi said, "Look at your brow, it's going to be wrinkled." He leaned over and said with a smile, "Besides, I have nothing to do today~"

Before he could finish speaking, he was slapped by a colleague behind him, who said angrily, "Liu Xi, shut up for me, don't you know what you can't say?"

Liu Xi muttered: "How can there be such a spirit."

There is a taboo in doing their business, that is, they can't say that they are idle, and if they say that they are idle, they will be in trouble, and they will not succeed after repeated attempts. This Liu Xi is a newcomer, he has only been working for less than three months, and he has never paid much attention to these things.

Just as Liu Xi's words came out, less than half an hour later, the office phone rang.

Another colleague answered the phone, glared at Liu Xi, and said angrily, "Look, it's time for work."

Liu Xi snorted and scratched his head in annoyance: "This is too clever!!!"

Lin Banxia patted his shoulder in comfort.

Half an hour ago, a large-scale traffic accident occurred on the expressway beside their city. A large truck full of steel suddenly braked and lost control and rammed on the expressway. The situation was extremely tragic. Several small trucks near the large trucks were hit, and the most serious one was directly overwhelmed by the large truck that rolled over.

The car was flattened directly, and the people inside were estimated to be fierce. I called him here now, just to deal with the accident scene quickly and avoid a chain reaction on the highway.

Lin Banxia and the others changed into work clothes and sat in the car heading to the scene of the accident.

The atmosphere in the car was very quiet, and everyone was in a bad mood. To be honest, even though I was in this business, when encountering such an accident and seeing people who died in an accident, no one would feel better.

Lin Banxia checked her phone for the last time. It was 6:30 p.m., and Ji Leshui still didn't reply to him. He sighed deeply and stuffed the phone deep in his pocket.

An hour later, Lin Banxia and several colleagues arrived at the scene of the accident.

At this time, the police team had arrived and began to organize a crane to pull up the large truck, and then the firefighters began to cut the flat car that had been crushed.

Lin Banxia and the others waited with their tools. Just now, a few 120s had rescued the breathing wounded. They did not wait for the wounded in this car, because everyone knew in their hearts that such a serious accident, There is absolutely no chance of survival.

The car in front of him was almost flattened, and when the roof was cut, the blurred passengers were exposed.

I can't see how many people there are, but I can barely identify them from the clothes, at least three or four.

With Amitabha in his mouth, Liu Xi carefully began to clean up the corpse. Lin Banxia put on a mask and began to work with his eyes down.

The strong smell of blood soaked into their nostrils through the masks. Lin Banxia heard sad cries coming from his ears. He turned his head and saw a woman behind him, who seemed to be a dead person in a car. The family members, who are being reluctantly supported by a few people at the moment, have already cried to tears.

"It's so pitiful." Liu Xi muttered in a low voice, "It's all like this, I guess it's inseparable..."

Lin Banxia said, "Stop talking."

Liu Xi said: "Oh, it's really uncomfortable to watch."

Lin Banxia snorted again, and after Liu Xi sighed, he stopped angrily.

At this time, it is best not to speak, because no matter what you say, it is impossible for family members who are too sad to listen, but it will make them even more sad.

As Lin Banxia put the body in the body bag, she heard the policeman discussing the case in a low voice.

It turned out that a family of several people went out to travel and drove two cars. The wife avoided the car accident in the front, while the man, child and the elderly were in the back and did not survive the accident. The wife hurriedly stopped the car and came back after the car accident, but as soon as she came back, she saw the squashed car.

Watching the family just disappear like this, no one can stand it.

In view of the condition of the corpse, Lin Banxia and the others did not dare to let the victim see more, but quickly loaded the car and planned to transport it to the funeral home for processing.

The corpse had just gotten into the car, but was stopped by a crying woman who was in a mess. She was lying on the car and refused to let the car go away, crying in despair that she wanted to see them.

The police originally wanted to persuade her, but seeing her firm attitude, they had to agree.

Lin Banxia and Liu Xi were sitting in the car. They looked at each other, and they both felt that it might not be good for her to see, but the woman was unwilling to compromise, so she had to open the car door.

The woman cried and threw herself onto the car with her hands and feet almost together. She shook her hands, tore open the body bags one by one, and saw the inhuman corpses inside. Because of the excessive extrusion, the corpse has completely lost its original appearance. If this is an ordinary person, it is estimated that he would have vomited on the spot. It is estimated that because of too much sadness, the woman reached out and picked up one, crying in her mouth. what.

Lin Banxia stood relatively close, and vaguely heard the woman shouting, "It's all my fault, it's all my fault, it's all my fault—I killed you—" He felt a little strange why the woman would shout like that , Could it be that women have to come out to play? Just had an accident

"She's the only one left, it's so miserable." Liu Xi began to sigh again.

Lin Banxia looked at the woman, a little strange: "She is the only one left? Who is that person?"

Liu Xi said, "What? Who?"

Lin Banxia took a sensitive look behind the woman, pursed her lips heavily, and said vaguely, "It's alright, it seems I got it wrong."

How could he read it wrong? About a meter behind the woman, a man in a long black dress stood with his back facing them. The man was about the same height, short, fat and thin as the woman, standing quietly behind her, like a Like a shadow. At this moment, the highway was closed, and only the police and staff came, and the existence of this woman in black suddenly became strange. However, the people around the woman don't seem to realize that this person exists, and they are all doing their own work.

After the woman finished crying, the police helped her out of the car and limped into the police car. The woman in black who was standing behind her followed their movements and got into the police car. When she got into the police car, Lin Banxia saw the woman's face and was slightly startled. This woman in black looked exactly like the woman whose family had an accident, but her face was as pale as paper, and her pupils were white. She is like a puppet. When a woman takes a step, she takes a step. I don't know if it was Lin Banxia's illusion. He always felt that the distance between the two seemed to be getting closer...

"Banxia, what are you looking at?" Liu Xi looked at Lin Banxia strangely.

"It's nothing." Lin Banxia withdrew her eyes and glanced at her phone as if nothing had happened. "Let's go first." The remaining colleagues need to clean up the traces at the scene and help the police restore traffic as soon as possible.

"Go." Liu Xi started the car.

The two carried the corpse and headed towards the funeral home.

Sitting in the car, Lin Banxia was a little absent-minded.

Liu Xi, who was next to him, was not in a good mood. He took out a cigarette from his arms and handed it to Lin Banxia. Lin Banxia shook his head and declined.

Liu Xi ordered one for himself, took a sip, and said, "What are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking about my family." Lin Banxia said, "My roommate seems to have fallen in love."

Liu Xi said, "Zhongxie?"

Lin Banxia thought for a while, and explained the situation of their community to Liu Xi. After listening, Liu Xi stared and said, are you serious? This is usually so exciting at work, and living in a more exciting place, no normal person can stand it. After he finished talking, he saw Lin Banxia with her eyes half down, and said tentatively, "But it seems that you are not too afraid of these things."

Lin Banxia said slowly: "Actually... I'm not afraid."

"Then why don't you have any reaction at all?" Liu Xi said, "My former colleagues said that they vomited for a long time when they first went to the scene, and nothing happened to you."

Lin Banxia hesitated.

Liu Xi said, "Why, brother, why don't you speak?"

Lin Banxia said, "Then did they tell you that I haven't eaten meat for half a year?"

Liu Xi scratched his head.

"It's not that I'm not afraid, it's just that my reaction is slow." Lin Banxia sighed, "It's as if you were tapped on the shoulder by something while you were walking on the road, and when you turned your head and didn't see anyone, the average person must have been frightened, but I... I might be able to taste it in an hour."

Liu Xi looked at Lin Banxia speechlessly, as if watching a monster.

Lin Banxia said, "It's been a long time." He held the car window with his hand, feeling the cold night wind. At this time, it was raining lightly outside. It floated in through the car window and hit Lin Banxia on the cheek. .

Liu Xi shivered suddenly and said, "It's so cold, Brother Lin, you should close the window."

Lin Banxia hummed and raised the window.

"When did you find yourself like this?" Liu Xi continued the topic.

Lin Banxia said: "When I was in college, there was a girl... She said, 'Lin Banxia, I don't want to celebrate Singles Day anymore.'"

"And then then." Liu Xi asked.

Lin Banxia said, "Then I said, Double Eleven is too bad."

Liu Xi: "..."

Lin Banxia said: "She repeated it again, I said no, no, no festival, except Double Eleven."

Liu Xi: "Then?"

Lin Banxia said, "Then it's gone." He paused for a moment and added with emotion: "I only suddenly understood what she meant when I celebrated Double Eleven last year..."

Liu Xi sighed and said, Brother Lin, Brother Lin, I finally understand why you don't have a girlfriend anymore. Look, even someone like me has a girlfriend! ! Thanks to your handsome appearance and good temperament, you are only surrounded by female mosquitoes.

Lin Banxia glanced at him and said, "You have a girlfriend? I don't believe it."

Liu Xi: "Oh, in a few days I'll bring her to show you!"

He was showing off vigorously, but he heard a sound, and looked at Lin Banxia hesitantly: "Brother Lin, did you hear any sound?"

Lin Banxia listened carefully: "Is it the carriage?"

The two looked at each other, Liu Xi had hair on his back, there was no one in the carriage at all, only a few crushed corpses, the sound was a bit like something was rubbing against the body bag, and it gave people goosebumps all over. Instantly took off.

"Shit, do you want to stop, what?" As the voice got louder, Liu Xi couldn't stand it anymore, and his foot trembled when he stepped on the accelerator.

Seeing him like this, Lin Banxia knew that he couldn't drive any more, so he pulled over to stop and wanted to go to the carriage for himself.

Liu Xi asked tremblingly, "Brother Lin, do you want me to go with you?"

Lin Banxia said, "No need." Seeing Liu Xi like this, he was really afraid that he would urinate immediately.

Lin Banxia jumped out of the car, walked neatly to the carriage, raised his hand and pulled it open, then opened the car door, revealing several body bags inside. When they transported the corpses to the car before, they placed the corpses neatly with the deceased as their main concern, but the corpses were stacked together in front of them, as if someone had moved them. And that strange sound came from among the stacked body bags.

Lin Banxia climbed into the car, and lightly rearranged the body bags. Normally, body bags are designed to prevent leakage, but I don't know if it was because the body was too broken. Liquid seeped out continuously, tick-tock falling into the carriage.

Lin Banxia had just placed the body bags one by one, but found that the sound of cha cha had also stopped. Lin Banxia lowered her head and searched carefully, but found nothing. However, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a detail. The zipper of the body bag at the bottom was pulled open.

He would never make such a mistake. Liu Xi had also been here for a few months, and it was unlikely that he would forget to zip the zipper. Lin Banxia stared at the zipper for a while, then raised his hand to close the zipper in silence. Then, as if nothing had happened, he stood up and closed the door of the carriage.

"What's the matter, what's the sound?" Liu Xi asked nervously when Lin Banxia came back.

Lin Banxia said, "A mouse entered the carriage, and I only saw a shadow, and then it disappeared. Forget it, send the person over and look for it slowly."

Liu Xi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Oh, it's a mouse, it scared me to death..." He muttered, saying that he knew that there were mice in the unit, and the rat poison bought by logistics before was really useless, and the mice were crawling. Came in the car.

Lin Banxia rolled down the window glass again, propping up the window with her right hand in silence.

Liu Xi said strangely, "Brother Lin, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Banxia shook her head: "It's okay, I'm a little greedy for cigarettes, give me one?"

Liu Xi smiled and handed him one.

Lin Banxia is not really addicted to smoking, and only smokes one occasionally. On the second half of the journey, he leaned on his seat and squinted and dozed off. The carriage was rustling all the time. Liu Xi glanced at Lin Banxia uncomfortably several times, but in the end he didn't say anything. , but the accelerator under the foot is almost stepped to the bottom, and I can't wait to fly to the destination immediately.

When we arrived at the funeral home, the receptionist was already waiting inside.

This is also an acquaintance, called Wang Jinqiao, who often cooperates with them. It is estimated that he is not in a good mood when he starts work in the middle of the night, and he is cursing. Liu Xi went up with a smile and handed a cigarette, and chatted with the man for a while, before he walked over slowly and opened the carriage to unload the body.

Some traffic accidents require an autopsy, but in this case, the responsibility is obvious, and there is nothing suspicious, so the process of autopsy is omitted, and the funeral home can wait for the family to come and complete the procedure before cremation.

Wang Jinqiao asked them about their situation today, walked to the back of the carriage, opened the carriage, tilted his head and said to them, "I heard that this is a family?"

After he asked, he glanced into the carriage, his face was ashen, and he was unable to speak for a long time.

Seeing that his face was wrong, Liu Xi was about to ask what was wrong, when he heard Wang Jinqiao shout angrily: "What's the matter with you? How did you pretend? What the hell—"

Liu Xi and Lin Banxia were both scolded for a moment. They stepped forward and looked up into the carriage.

However, the situation in the carriage completely exceeded their expectations. All the body bags were pulled open, and the bodies were exaggeratedly stacked on top of each other. Because they were too broken, it was almost like a mountain of meat, with blood inside the carriage. Solidified into dark red traces.

"Ouch!!!" Liu Xi just glanced at it, then turned around and vomited exaggeratedly.

Lin Banxia's face didn't look much better.

"What the hell is going on, how do people divide it?" Wang Jinqiao said angrily, "Could it be that the fire is all set on fire? Can the family come to trouble us??"

"But, but we clearly had a good arrangement before coming here." Liu Xi finished vomiting, wiped his mouth, and said in a trembling voice, "How could it become like this... Brother Lin, Brother Lin?"

Lin Banxia glanced at the inside of the carriage again and remained silent.

Liu Xi wanted to say something, but Wang Jinqiao saw the clue, waved his hand to signal him to shut up, and said, "It's alright, alright, I understand. When the family members come, you can explain it."

With a gloomy face, he greeted people to clean up this pile of meat.

Lin Banxia and Liu Xi justified their loss and stood beside them, not daring to say a word.

Liu Xi cigarette after cigarette, his hands shaking violently when he smoked, he wanted to ask Lin Banxia, was the sound he heard in the carriage really a mouse, but he saw Lin Banxia's calm side. When his face came to his mouth, he swallowed hard.

Here, the carriage is being cleaned up with difficulty, and the only survivors left over there are coming over in a police car.

An accident took the lives of everyone in her family except her, which was almost a fatal blow to the mind for ordinary people.

The police probably also took into account the client's emotions, and they were cautious when they drove her here, but it was an unfortunate time, and the funeral home was still struggling to separate the mixed bodies.

As soon as the woman got off the police car, she looked up and saw a messy carriage.

Liu Xi was a little afraid of the overreaction of the family members, and took a half step back towards Lin Banxia. He whispered, "Brother Lin, will we be beaten?"

Lin Banxia said in a low voice, "She's just a girl, it's okay to be beaten twice."

"That's right." Liu Xi smiled bitterly, "If I saw my family become like this, I would definitely want to beat them up."

But beyond their expectations, the woman did not get angry when she saw the situation in the carriage. A strange smile appeared on her pale face, and her red lips evoked an exaggerated arc, like a Crying, but also seeming to be laughing, she walked slowly to the side of the carriage, stared coldly at the broken corpses in the car, and said with a grin, "You really don't think of me as a family."

"I really, deserve it." The woman sneered, turned around and left, her black skirt swaying gracefully.

Behind her, she still followed the same shadow-like person that Lin Banxia saw at the scene, and the distance between the two was much closer.

The author has something to say:

Liu Xi: Does Brother Lin smoke

Lin Banxia: …

Liu Xi: What do you think is in the carriage

Lin Banxia: …

Liu Xi: The weather seems a little cold today

Lin Banxia: …

Liu Xi: Brother Lin, we're off work.

Lin Banxia: Draw!
