Out of the Horse: The years when I was a Daxian

Chapter 29 Clouds shrouded
The sky over the funeral home was covered with dark clouds. Who would have thought that we would encounter trouble on the first day of work. Under the leadership of Master Huang, Lao Bai and I were going to the dressing room of the funeral home. We didn’t go far. Then I heard someone yelling outside the gate of the funeral parlor, "Repay my father's life. My father was cremated by you before he died. I want to sue you in court. My father will not let you go even if he is a ghost. Just wait." All of you will die badly.

Lao Bai and I heard the voice and looked back. At this time, I saw the person who called out just now. He was a young man. He was wearing plain clothes and black gauze on his left arm at a young age. Barred outside the door.

I've been here four times already, and we have to say that his father was cremated if he didn't die. Tell me, is this man mentally ill?Who would dare to be cremated if he was really alive.It was Master Huang who spoke, and Master Huang also came over at this moment.

Lao Bai and I looked at each other and felt that this matter is not so simple, because the young man's forehead is already covered with clouds, which means that this person's luck is not good. If the time is longer, this person will definitely suffer from bloodshed .

Master Huang looked at it for a while and said to us: Don't look at it, let's go.

At this time, Lao Bai suddenly said: Master Huang, I may have eaten something bad this morning, and I have to go to the toilet. You and Xiaofeng go first, and I will be there later. After talking, Lao Bai went straight to the toilet.

Master Huang looked at me helplessly and took me to the dressing room. After arriving in the dressing room, I looked carefully at the dressing room. It was a room less than [-] square meters. There are a few shelves next to the iron bed, on which there are some cosmetics and lipsticks. The most conspicuous thing is this one-person-high mirror on the wall. In the mirror, I No matter how you look at it, my face is a little blue. Damn, is it because of the heavy Yin Qi?

Not long after, Bai Chi came back. At this time, Master Huang told us that there used to be two make-up artists in this crematorium. One retired because he was too old, and the other stopped working after half a year. Why no one knew. In fact, the work here is relatively easy, and there are red envelopes to get.

Lao Bai and I nodded, and then Master Huang said to both of us, the crematorium in this county is not comparable to the one in the city, and there are only ten people including the two of you, the director Jia you saw today, and me , there is a driver, two grave repairers, an accountant, and two cremators, so the workload is not that big, and sometimes there is no business for a week.

Lao Bai and I nodded. We had a basic understanding of this funeral home. Master Huang told us to clean up the house, and then left first. After he left, I asked Lao Bai how it was.

Lao Bai nodded to me and said: Don't worry about my work, you must know that my buddy has no ability to do things.

I just found out now that Lao Bai's mouth was so poor that he almost turned into the second Chang Xiao ran. I gave him a look and said: "Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

It was only then that Bai Chi told me what happened just now. It turned out that Lao Bai and I looked at each other just now and he knew what I meant. In the name of going to the toilet, he actually went to inquire about the news. Lao Bai pretended to go to the toilet. After Master Huang and I left, he came out again secretly. At this time, the young man had been chased away by security guards countless times. Looking at the young man's back, Lao Bai sighed. After the out-of-pocket cigarettes were sent out for a while, we became acquainted within a few words. Since they also knew that Lao Bai and I came here to work, we talked about everything after a few words. Lao Bai just took this opportunity Asked about the young man just now, and sure enough, the security guards didn't think much about it, so they told Lao Bai that the young man's name was Li Bai, and he was also a local. His family was not far from here, and his father died last month. Yes, the cremation was carried out on the third day after being pulled to us, but Li Bo came back a week later and made a fuss saying that his father was not dead, so we cremated his father and asked us to accompany his father. If you know that people have already been cremated, where can we find out, and we also asked the cremation industry at that time, but the cremation industry said that there was nothing abnormal that day, and there would be no mistakes. Is your business going well?So the curator was going to compromise knowing that he was making trouble here unreasonably, and was going to give him some money to send him away, but this kid has been stubborn since he was a child, and he refused to agree with anything, saying that his father was not dead. He had to give an explanation, and the curator had no choice. If you are making trouble, just blast out.

After Bai Chi finished speaking, I asked Bai Chi, are you coming to Li Bai's address?

Bai Chi nodded. It seems that he has to go to Li Bai's house tonight and have a talk with him.

This is the end of the day's work. This is the first time Bai Chi and I have entered the society. We are full of hope for this job. When we are about to leave work, Director Jia came to see me and Bai Chi and said to us, how is it here? Are you used to it?

I think that curator Jia is not bad, and he is cheerful every time he speaks.So I also smiled and said: Thank you Uncle Jia for your concern, this place is very good.

Uncle Jia exchanged pleasantries with us and then left. Seeing that it was almost time to get off work, I called home and told them that Bai Chi and I would go back to eat later in the evening so we don't need to wait for us.

After get off work, Laobai rode my old bicycle and carried me to Li Bai’s house. Li Bai’s house was not too far from my house, and we arrived in a short time. There was also faint crying.

Bai Chi and I stopped the car and walked in, only to see Li Bai coming out of the house as soon as we entered, and he was taken aback when he saw us.Who are you?

Lao Bai and I hurriedly said: Hello!We are from the Civil Affairs Bureau. I heard that there was some unhappiness between your family and the funeral home, and we came here to mediate it.

Li Bai looked at the two of us, obviously suspicious of us.

At this time, I don't know where Lao Bai got a certificate and handed it over.After taking a look, Li Bai suddenly knelt down on the ground and said to the two of us: You two, you want to avenge my father. No peace.

I was startled, it seems that this is another ghost at work.

After Li Bai let Lao Bai and me into the room, I saw that there was a mourning hall inside the room, and there was a person kneeling on the ground, which should be Li Bai's mother, and she should have made the cry just now. I only heard Li Bai's mother crying and saying, the child's father, you died so badly!But even if you are dead, you can’t harm our mother and daughter. My son has already done justice for you, so please stop making trouble.

After Li Bai entered the house, he helped his old mother up and said to his mother: Mom!These two are from the Civil Affairs Bureau, and they are here today to settle things for us.

Li Bai's mother looked at us and said, "You two little comrades, you have to make decisions for us. My old man died so badly, he was burned to death alive."

Lao Bai and I appeased Li Bai's mother, and then asked Li Bai, can you tell us the ins and outs of the incident.

Li Bai took out a cigarette and lit it for us, and said: "It still has to start from the day my father went to the funeral. On the day of the funeral, we came to the funeral parlor. After the farewell ceremony, we pushed my father into the back to be cremated. Because I begged , the curator agreed that I would send my father for the last time and watch his cremation.In the cremation hall, the moment my father was pushed into the furnace, I saw my father move his fingers, but before I could react, my father was pushed in. Thinking about it, who knows that it happened a week later, that is, on the day of my father's first seven days. We prepared things that night, thinking that my father would come back to see us for the last time that night. Who knew that my mother and I would not wait until twelve o'clock. When I was about to go to sleep, the door creaked and opened. Although my mother and I were very scared, it was my father after all, so I boldly shouted to the door: Is it my father?Father and son miss you so much.

But who would have guessed that there was no one answering the door, so I got up tremblingly to close the door, at this moment the lights in the room suddenly went out, I was so frightened at that time, my mother shouted from the side, is that you the old man?

It's my fault!You unfilial son actually killed me and burned me alive. Now that the underworld does not want me, I have become a lonely ghost. Otherwise, you two should come down and accompany me. This matter happened because of you, so come down and accompany me. .

At that time, I heard this voice and was scared to the ground. My mother was yelling in the room. The voice was really my father. I knew that it was my father who came back. We were so frightened that we couldn’t wait till dawn. I found the sorceress from the village next door, and when the sorceress came to my house, she said, "Your father died unjustly, so why don't you leave your house? Now you can burn a house for your father, and burn a golden body for him. Maybe you can save your life." Temporary fate, but this is a temporary solution, not a permanent cure!If you want to settle this matter completely, you have to go to the funeral home to ask the curator to let him admit that he killed your father by mistake, so as to calm down your father's grievances.

I heard what the sorceress said, so I burned a golden body and a house for my father that day.My father came again that night and said to me, let me ask him for an explanation. The time limit is one month. If there is no explanation within one month, I will take me and my mother away. Comrades, there is still a deadline of one week or one month, and I ask the two comrades to deal with it fairly and give us justice.

After listening to it, Lao Bai and I felt that it was a ghost that was causing trouble. Damn, Lao Bai and I took the old ghost away at night.

Lao Bai stood up and said to Li Bai: Now that your father is dead, and it is the 21st century that opposes feudal superstition, just because of what you say, I can get someone to arrest you and charge you with the crime of propagating feudal superstition.

Li Bai was dumbfounded at the time. He didn't expect Lao Bai to say that. He immediately knelt down to Lao Bai and me and said, "You two comrades, what I said is true. You two must believe me."At this time, Li Bai's mother also wanted to kneel down for us, but fortunately, we stopped her. Li Bai's mother said: "You two comrades, what my son said is true, you must believe it."

I glanced at Lao Bai, which meant that it was a bit too much.

Lao Bai coughed and said: How about this, we can't listen to your one-sided words, how about giving you a satisfactory answer in a week.

Li Bai wanted to say something, but was stopped by his mother, who only heard him say: Then trouble the two comrades, if there is no result in a week, then my son and I can only go down to accompany his father.

When Bai Chi and I went out, I looked back at the photo in the mourning hall. In the photo was a man who was nearly fifty years old with a vicissitudes of life. When I looked up, there were three large characters written on it, Li Shoucai.

It turned out that Li Bai's father was called Li Shoucai, and Chang Xiao ran down tonight to find out who Li Shoucai was. At this moment, Lao Bai suddenly stabbed me and showed me the portrait.

At this moment, the portrait of Li Shoucai smiled strangely at Lao Bai and me.
