Chapter 191: Unable to lift the corpse
"Oh, just wait! It's stuck with me!"
An arm stretched in through the crack in the door, which scared Leizi and I.
Lei Zi quickly pushed the door open and saw a man standing at the door, looking very capable, wearing a gray leather jacket and a small felt hat.
Lei Zi looked at the man at the door in confusion: "What are you?"
The man reached out and took off the hat on his head and raised his head: "Second masters, don't you recognize me?"
Leizi and I looked closely and said, "Hey, who do I think I am? It turns out that it is Foreman Zhao, who is the Foreman Zhao who repaired the house for our family some time ago."
Leizi said: "I said to Foreman Zhao, what wind has blown you here?"
"Yes! I haven't left for a long time, why are I back again? It's not yet the New Year, and the construction site shouldn't be on holiday, right?" I said.
Foreman Zhao sighed: "Don't I have something urgent to come to you? I'm finally waiting for you to come back!"
"What's the matter? Come in and talk about it!" I welcomed Foreman Zhao into the mountain temple and Lei Zi closed the door.
Foreman Zhao rubbed his hands and couldn't wait to say, "That's the matter! Isn't Master Jiu a corpse-driver? I have a corpse, so I want to ask you to go there!"
I stopped: "Are you here to drive me to drive the body?"
"Yes, yes!" Foreman Zhao nodded repeatedly: "Who doesn't know the name of Jiu Ye in this area? I came back to find you specifically for this matter!"
"Who is the God of Joy?" I asked.
"Happy God?!" Foreman Zhao was stunned for a moment, not understanding the terms in the trick.
Lei Zi walked up from behind: "The God of Joy is the dead man. Master Jiu asked who the person who died was?"
"Oh!" Foreman Zhao realized it and quickly said, "The person who died is my distant nephew! His surname is Zhao, and his name is Zhao Gao!"
I frowned slightly. This name is well-known, and it is the same as the infamous eunuch of the Qin Dynasty.
But I didn't say this, and I asked Foreman Zhao: "How did Zhao Gao die?"
Lei Zi interrupted, "It won't be another engineering accident, right?"
"No, no!" Foreman Zhao bit his lip: "Yes... I committed suicide..."
suicide?!
The person who commits suicide has the most resentment, and is the god of joy that the corpse-driver is the least willing to take over.
However, the business that comes to the door cannot be refused. This is a bit bad rule, and it is even more impossible to refuse a person like Foreman Zhao.
A corpse-driver will definitely encounter all kinds of joyful gods in his life. He cannot say that he will not do things in difficult situations. Who will ask you to do things?
I took Foreman Zhao into the Shanshen Temple. Leizi took out a stove from it and placed it on the table to keep warm.
I made a pot of tea for Foreman Zhao: "Tell me about Zhao Gao's situation and the reason for his suicide!"
Foreman Zhao took a sip of hot tea, held the teacup in both hands and said, "Zhao Gao is my distant nephew, and he is only twenty years old this year. This kid has been introverted since childhood, not good at socializing, and has no brains. He has been staying at home without getting into college after graduating from high school and doing nothing, which makes his father very anxious.
His father was my cousin. When he knew that I was working on the construction site, he sent his son Zhao Gao to me and asked me to find some work for him. Anyway, our construction team lacked people, so he kept him. He had no skills and didn't know anything. He could only pick and carry and do odd jobs!
Usually, Zhao Gao is like a dull person, very introverted, and his only way of entertainment is to surf the Internet. There is a small Internet cafe not far from the construction site. He just went into the Internet cafe for no reason. After a while, he actually had a girlfriend online. Nowadays, isn’t it popular for young people to have online dating? That’s the kind.
I don’t know why he pretended to others online, but probably what kind of young master he is, and his family is rich and background, so the little girl was moved. After a few times, she asked Zhao Gao to meet.
The meeting was revealed. After the little girl knew that Zhao Gao was actually a zero-hour worker on the construction site, she humiliated him severely and said some very ugly words, as if she had asked someone to repair Zhao Gao and said that Zhao Gao was a liar!"
"He committed suicide just because of this?" Lei Zi poured a cup of hot tea for Foreman Zhao again.
Foreman Zhao sighed: "Hey, it must be because of this matter! He is very introverted. After this incident, he was depressed all day long. I caught him back several times when he was absent from work. But you also know that everyone is busy on the construction site, and no one can stare at him all day long. Everyone is used to Zhao Gao's taciturnness, so no one takes it seriously!"
I shook my head and felt sorry for the passing of a young life.
Lei Zi said: "Young people nowadays have too poor psychological endurance. They have to seek death for such things. They really can't understand what they are thinking about? Have they considered their own family's feelings? Really!"
Foreman Zhao said: "Yes! Such an introverted person is fragile and sensitive, and it is too easy to go to extremes when doing things! Now that people are dead, it is useless to say these things! Alas, I am in trouble. I kindly help, but he actually has such a thing. His father didn't blame me. Not only did he shy face me, but he also scolded me, saying that I didn't help him take good care of his son! You guys, isn't this nonsense? I'm a construction site, not a kindergarten. Besides, a twenty-year-old adult, do you still need me to watch all day long? I don't work? It's really annoying!"
"Where did he commit suicide?" I asked.
Foreman Zhao said: "I bought a bottle of pesticides and I was in the Internet cafe. I committed suicide in front of the computer that I often surfed the Internet. A bottle of pesticides bleeded in seven orifices, and a mouthful of blood was sprayed on the computer. It was quite scary and died suddenly on the spot. I didn't even wait for the ambulance to stop breathing. It was because of this incident that the Internet cafe has been suspended these days and is being closed for rectification. I guess I have to pay a sum of money!"
"Did you commit suicide in an Internet cafe? Have you left any last words or suicide notes?"
Before driving the corpse, I have to understand the cause of the death of God of Joy in all aspects. This is the basic principle of the corpse-driver. If an accident occurs, we can "prescribe the right medicine" very well. God of Joy like Zhao Gao, who died unjustly, may not be dissipated. Before driving the corpse, we need to comfort his soul.
"Suicide? There is no suicide note, but he left a message to the girl online! He wrote several sentences. When we arrived at the scene, the few sentences were still on the computer. They used the QQ chat, and all the words were posted on QQ!" said Foreman Zhao.
"Do you still remember what I wrote?" I asked.
Foreman Zhao scratched his head: "I don't know what it is. Anyway, it's all annoying words like I hate you, and I won't let you go if I become a ghost. It can be seen that he is very angry about the humiliation, so he hates that girl!"
I nodded: "By the way, where is Zhao Gao's body?"
"It's still in the Internet cafe!" said Foreman Zhao.
"It's still in the Internet cafe?" I was slightly stunned: "What does it mean? Didn't you send it to the funeral home for a deposit?"
Foreman Zhao took out a cigarette, handed it to Lei Zi, lit one, and vomited three cigarette rings in a row: "Jiu Master, this is the real reason why I'm rushing to find you! Zhao Gao's body... cannot be carried away..."
Can't carry the body away?!
Lei Zi looked at Foreman Zhao in confusion: "No way? What's going on?"
Foreman Zhao said: "I don't know what's going on either. I have to know what's going on. Do you still need to come to you in a hurry?"
Lei Zi nodded: "Then tell me what the situation is!"
Foreman Zhao said: "After Zhao Gao committed suicide that night, the police came to investigate the scene and determined that Zhao Gao committed suicide by taking poison. Later, the corpse transport truck from the funeral home came. He was originally planning to temporarily send the body to the funeral home for freezing, and wait for Zhao Gao's parents to make a decision. As a result, when the body was carried away, a strange thing happened. Zhao Gao's body... could not be lifted!
I don't know what happened, but his body was like a stone sculpture, heavy and heavy, as if connected to the underground, and it didn't move at all. No matter how much effort the two funeral home staff tried, they could not carry Zhao Gao's body away.
We didn't believe it at that time, so we shook our arms and raised it up. We found that the two staff members were not lying and Zhao Gao's body could not be lifted at all.
The people in the funeral home carried so many corpses, but they never encountered this situation. They were also a little scared at the moment. They didn't want the fee for transporting the corpse, so they drove away in a hurry.
This matter is obviously a bit weird. I need to ask an expert to take a look. I immediately thought of Jiu Ye. Jiu Ye is an authentic corpse-driver. I believe there is a way to deal with this situation!"
Speaking of this, Foreman Zhao looked at me with expectation.
I know that in the minds of all neighbors, I am a very capable person. Because I am Chen Xiucai’s only direct disciple, Chen Xiucai is like a god in the hearts of the villagers. Everyone thinks that I am Chen Xiucai’s disciple. Although I can’t be as capable as Chen Xiucai, it will definitely not be too bad.
In fact, I have never encountered this situation mentioned by Foreman Zhao, and I have never even heard from Xiucai Chen mentioned it.
There are still corpses that cannot be lifted in this world, which is so strange!
When I heard about this, I felt evil and knew that it must be a tricky thing.
However, even though I know that this matter is not easy to deal with, I can't refuse, so I can't make people feel like I'm a corpse-driver.
Seeing that I was pondering and not speaking, Foreman Zhao was worried that I would not agree, so he immediately added: "Jiu Master, I'll ask you for this matter! Look, after all, I'm my nephew! As for the price, you can quote a price!"
I sighed and waved my hand: "This is not a matter of money! To be honest, your nephew's matter is a bit difficult, it must be different from ordinary corpses. You should understand this!"
"I understand! I understand!" Foreman Zhao said: "But Jiu Ye, you are the most famous corpse-driver in this area. You must have a way to deal with it, right? There is no difficulty that can stump you!"
"Stop coming!" I glanced at Foreman Zhao: "I don't have the ability of my master. I'm still in the stage of improvement. Don't put a high hat on me. If things are not done well, you will have to bury me again!"
"No! No! I'm not that kind of person!" Foreman Zhao waved his hand quickly.
"Okay, I've recorded this matter, you go back first!" I said to Foreman Zhao.
"Thank you, Master Jiu! Thank you, Master Jiu! Then when will we... be able to set off?" Foreman Zhao looked at me earnestly.
"If nothing unexpected happens, tomorrow! You come to the mountain temple to find me tomorrow!" I said.
