The person responsible for guarding the morgue of the hospital is a disabled old man named Wang. He lives and eats in a simple tin room outside the morgue.
"Uncle Wang, please open the door." Liu Gen followed Nurse Wang and met this Uncle Wang in the morning.
There was a knock on the door, and Uncle Wang, who was blind in his left eye, came out of the small iron-clad simple room where he lived. With his only eye that could still see clearly, he glanced at the stretcher covered with white cloth in the hands of Liu Gen and Xiangzi.
He walked to the morgue door, took out a bunch of keys from his waist, rummaged around for a while, and then opened the iron door of the morgue.
A cold wind blew out from the morgue, causing Liu Gen and Xiangzi's sweaty bodies to shiver involuntarily. They walked into the room carrying a stretcher. Uncle Wang had already put a constant temperature storage box with a number on it.
The corpse cabinet was pulled out, and the cabinet was filled with an eerie air-conditioning.
"Put it down." Liu Gen said to Xiangzi behind him, squatting down and gently placing the stretcher next to the corpse locker.
Uncle Wang took off the two circular number plates made of iron sheets from the handle of the corpse locker. One plate was tied to the ankle of the deceased, and the other plate was handed to Liu Gen, and then said: "Put him in the cabinet."
"Hey..." Liu Gen responded and called to Xiangzi: "I call one, two, three, and we will lift it together... one, two, three..." The two of them wrapped the body in white cloth, lifted it up and put it into the corpse locker.
Uncle Wang pulled off the shroud, threw it to Liu Gen, and took the registration book from a shelf: "Sign here and write down the number plate in your hand."
Liu Gen did as Uncle Wang said. After signing, he asked, "Who should I give this number plate to?"
"Give it to the nurse in exchange for money." Uncle Wang pushed the corpse cabinet in with both hands and turned around to answer.
Xiangzi didn't say a word from beginning to end. He wore a mask and walked back with a stretcher along with Yanagi Gen. He looked like a person without any thought and was doing things only with the mechanical movements of his feet and hands.
Following Nurse Wang's instructions, the two of them returned the same way they came without taking the elevator.
Liu Gen handed the number plate in his hand to the nurse at the nursing station.
"Here, this is the reward you deserve." The nurse took out two hundred yuan from the drawer and handed it to Liu Gen: "Sign here." She took out a notebook and put it on the table.
Liu Gen was dumbfounded. He looked at the two hundred yuan in his hand and then at the nurse. He wanted to ask why there were so few, but in the end he didn't ask. He glanced towards the corridor of the operating room and didn't see the mother and daughter.
After signing, Liu Gen took off his mask and asked, "Can we take the white coat and mask back and wash them?"
The nurse raised her eyes and replied: "Yes, but remember to bring it with you when you come next time. There are no spare ones here. Also, you can hold this key so that you can easily take the stretcher in the future."
Yanagi took the key and put the stretcher back into the small room with Xiangzi: "Let's go, it's done."
Xiangzi still didn't speak, as if his mouth was sealed by a mask.
The two of them didn't take the elevator and still walked down the corridor.
When he went down to the third floor, Xiangzi suddenly retched a few times. He hurriedly took off his mask and squatted on the wall to vomit. Liu Gen stood behind him and patted him on the back gently: "This is the first time. I will get used to it in the future."
Falling, he also felt nauseous. He quickly turned around and squatted behind Xiangzi, vomiting. Hearing Xiangzi's whimpering behind him, Liu Gen wiped the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand, took a deep breath, and felt much better.
He stood up and walked over, pulled Xiangzi up from the ground, held him in his arms like a big brother, and gently stroked Xiangzi's back: "It's okay, ah, it's okay, it will be fine, everything will be fine."
…”
"Brother Gen, I...I'm fine..." Xiangzi stopped crying and left Liu Gen's arms.
As they walked down, they unbuttoned their white coats, took them off, crumpled them into a ball, and held them in their hands.
"Brother Gen, didn't you say it was at least five or six hundred yuan? Why did you give me only two hundred yuan?" Walking in the sunshine, Xiangzi seemed to have returned to the human world and woke up, and asked about money.
"Maybe the mother taking care of the child can only afford the two hundred yuan." Liu Gen was still holding the two hundred yuan in his hand.
"It turns out that people are like that after death." Xiangzi said to himself: "It's as quiet as sleeping. I saw his closed eyes in the operating room and thought he was asleep. His look reminded me of
My father is like that when he is sleeping. I always wake up in the middle of the night and quietly watch my father sleeping with his eyes closed. Especially after he yells at me or hits me, I always hope that he will just do that.
Sleep peacefully forever, and never wake up again to scold me and hit me..."
Liu Gen listened silently without interrupting.
Xiangzi took off the pager from his waist, looked at the screen above and asked, "Brother Gen, do you think there will be any work today?"
"I don't know." Liu Gen replied.
"Actually, it's nothing. It's like a dream, haha... Now I hope that another dead person will call us." Xiangzi grinned.
Liu Gen bit his cheek tightly. He didn't think so. He hoped that the pager would never ring again in the future. He never wanted to see people like that poor mother and daughter sad. If there was no such thing in this world,
It would be great to have no pain of death. At least, there would be one less thing to worry about in the difficult journey of life.
The game is not over yet, and the cheers are still so enthusiastic.
Xiangzi said he didn't want to watch the game anymore and took their white coats back to the dormitory to wash them.
Liu Gen walked into the stadium alone.
After Liu Gen left, Ouyang Xue kept wondering what he would do. When she saw him coming back, she squeezed out of the stands.
"Liu Gen, are your legs okay?"
"Haha...it doesn't matter."
"Where did you and Xiangzi... go?"
"Go...hehe...go to the latrine."
Hearing that the two boys had gone to the latrine, Ouyang Xue didn't want to ask why Xiangzi didn't come back. Instead, she smiled and said, "It's already two to zero. Our college scored another goal in the second half."
"That's great. It's not a big problem to win the ball this time."
"Oh, by the way, Teacher Mei came here just now, but before the first half was over, she said she had to leave beforehand."
"Oh..." Liu Gen responded casually, staring at the game on the court.
Mei Yingchun returned to her home in Unit 502, Building 8, Building 8, North Campus. As soon as she opened the door, Chen Yongsheng grabbed her hand and pulled her in, then slammed the door shut with his palm.
Mei Yingchun knew that Chen Yongsheng's operation had failed again. Every time his operation failed, he would call her home, regardless of whether she went to work or not.
"Didn't I ask you to wait for me at home? Why did you come back so late?" Chen Yongsheng pressed Mei Yingchun to the floor at the entrance, slapped her on the face and asked loudly.
Mei Yingchun was used to his perverted way of venting her anger, so she didn't answer and just stared at him with her eyes.
"You bastard! Why are you so interested in helping that kid? It turns out you have a crush on him, right?" Chen Yongsheng rode on Mei Yingchun and began to unbutton her short-sleeved white shirt: "Say
, are you attracted to the tall and mighty boy and want to seduce him?"
With a slap, Mei Yingchun raised her hand and slapped Chen Yongsheng in the face, pushed him away from her body with both hands, stood up and said, "You can do whatever you want to me, I can tolerate it, but you are not allowed to insult my personality like this!"
"How dare you hit me!" Chen Yongsheng touched the slapped cheek with his hand, his eyes widened with anger, and he rushed towards Mei Yingchun like an enraged lion.
While Mei Yingchun retreated, she waved her hands at Chen Yongsheng who rushed forward, and cursed: "You beast..."
Chen Yongsheng forced Mei Yingchun to the sofa in the living room, grabbed her hair with his left hand, waved his right hand, and slapped her several times, then pushed her down on the sofa, and a hungry tiger pounced on her, holding Mei Yingchun's hands behind her back.
He twisted her so that she could not resist, took off her belt, tied her hands tightly, then quickly took off her own pants, reached into Mei Yingchun's skirt, pulled off her underwear, and lifted up her skirt.
"No one can touch your body except me! You belong to me, Chen Yongsheng... forever... You can't escape from my grasp..."
Chen Yongsheng began to brutally humiliate Mei Yingchun.
Mei Yingchun stopped shouting, her hands were tied behind her back and she was pressed on the sofa. Her arms felt uncomfortable as if they were about to be removed. She had no strength and did not want to resist. She knew it was in vain. The more she resisted,
What would happen would be even more brutal beatings and insults, so it was better to just endure it silently and let the beast inside of me vent its anger.
Mei Yingchun had been married for more than three years until one day three months after her marriage, Chen Yongsheng called her in broad daylight for no reason and asked her to rush home. At that time, she thought something had happened at home. She wanted to go home and take a look.
Just as he was about to go out and return to the office, Chen Yongsheng returned home with red eyes. Without saying a word, he flipped her to the ground and tore off her clothes. With her showing no interest and no preparation for her body to react, he
He took her by force and slapped her chest and abdomen with his palms.
From that time on, whenever Chen Yongsheng failed in his operation, he would treat her in the same way. It seemed that only in this way could he get satisfaction and happiness from that failure. Every time he vented his anger, he would fall asleep deeply, and when he woke up
, it seemed that he had just realized what he had done to Mei Yingchun. He would be a gentleman and considerate, apologize, kneel down and beg for mercy, etc., and tell Mei Yingchun every detail of his operation, as if he was making an accident investigation report to her.
Find out the reason for the failure.
In front of others, the couple is very affectionate and enviable.
But no one knows about the pain except Mei Yingchun who endures it silently. She can't talk about it in front of her parents. How can she be embarrassed to say such a thing.
Mei Yingchun leaned back on the sofa, her hands were still tied and pressed on the sofa behind her. Facing Chen Yongsheng's ferocious face, she slowly closed her eyes and allowed Chen Yongsheng to commit violence on her. Her heart gradually calmed down and thoughts emerged in her mind.
In the morning, Liu Gen patted her skirt that was splashed by water with his hand, and felt his hands touching the skin of her legs. She even thought about the fact that she was with Liu Gen at this moment...
Mei Yingchun's body reacted and began to grunt in response to Chen Yongsheng's movements.
Of course Chen Yongsheng felt it too, and thought that his way of conquering Mei Yingchun made her happy, so he turned her body over, untied the belt on her hands, and let her rest her hands comfortably on the back of the sofa.
