Li Yu glanced at him, and he was very aware of some of the changes that had occurred in Guo Xiaoliu.
"I just worked as a backup agent for a few days. Just because I had some power, it didn't take long for a shy and honest kid to have a high self-esteem. He felt that he was above others and could not even speak.
He has become so arrogant and arrogant that he is not polite at all."
"The human heart is indeed the most complicated thing in the world."
He shook his head secretly in his heart, but Li Yu would not tolerate the other party. He did not get up, but still sat where he was, and said with a half-smile:
"Master Guo, please make it clear first. It was Uncle Qu who asked you to come to me for help, not me who rushed to help you. So if you are in a hurry, you can go find someone else for help!"
As the corpse keeper of Yizhuang, although Li Yu only eats this bowl of rice and has a humble status, it does not mean that he has to let others come and go at their call.
If it were Lao Qutou here, he would definitely speak politely, at least not in a harsh tone, without even a smile on his face.
This is not that Li Yu is putting on airs, the main reason is that since he wants to ask for help, he should have the attitude of asking for help.
This is the simplest principle of dealing with people.
If you don't even understand this little bit of human sophistication, how can you be a policeman?
It's better to go home early to nurse.
Guo Xiaoliu was stunned. He didn't expect Li Yu to have such a big reaction, and his face suddenly looked a little ugly.
But he is not stupid. He knows that offending Li Yu is a small matter now, but delaying the main business will be troublesome.
"Um...Brother Li, I spoke too harshly just now. I'm sorry. In fact, I was also too anxious. Don't be the same as me. If you get angry, you'll hit me and scold me. I'll admit it."
Guo Xiaoliu lightly slapped his face, twitched the corners of his mouth, revealed a smile that was a bit uglier than crying, and said with a sneer:
"But my master is pressing hard. After all, it is a matter of life and death. If you are free now, can you come with me first?"
In terms of age, Guo Xiaoliu was one year older than Li Yu, but in order to please Li Yu, he didn't care.
Little brother, it would be better if your expression was more natural. Seeing this, Li Yu had no expression on his face and said nothing more. He just said: "Wait a moment, I need to prepare some things."
Li Yu didn't waste any time and took a package from the room, which contained a complete set of things for everyone, including needlework, incense, a knife, leather gloves, scissors, towels, brushes, wine, shrouds, and everlasting lamps.
.
These things are all tools that may be used for burial.
Some were left by the old cripple, and some were bought by Li Yu with his own money.
Seeing Li Yu starting to prepare things, Guo Xiaoliu breathed a sigh of relief, but his impression of Li Yu became even worse.
It’s not an exaggeration to say that a mere corpse collector is stinking of corpses and spends all day with dead bodies. It’s not an exaggeration to say that he is a dirty collector. Why should he put on such a stinky air?
Do you really think you are a person?
He had secretly planned to tell the master about this matter after today's business was settled, adding some extra fuel to the matter so that Li Yu could figure out his identity.
Li Yu quickly packed up his things, and then the two of them set off quickly.
On the way, Li Yu asked Guo Xiaoliu some information and got more information.
The renovation of Wong Tai Sin Temple this time was funded by Huang Yuan's family, who excavated soil and burned bricks under a slope.
Zhoushui County has a special geographical location. There is a special kind of clay underground. Bricks made from this clay are strong and have good thermal insulation effect. They are warm in winter and cool in summer, so they are very good for building houses.
It is spring now, the ice and snow have melted, and the soil has become soft and prone to collapse. So a group of people were digging, and the soil slope collapsed, burying all the diggers.
Lao Qutou happened to be nearby at that time. He got the news and rushed over. Seeing that something had happened, he quickly sent his apprentice to call Li Yu.
More than half an hour later, the two of them arrived near Wong Tai Sin Temple out of breath.
Fortunately for Li Yu, after two months of hard training, he has now become a serious martial artist, and his physical strength and physical fitness have improved greatly.
Although the journey was long, he was able to endure it. Apart from being slightly out of breath, he didn't even break out a drop of sweat.
As for Guo Xiaoliu, he was out of breath from exhaustion, his face was red and his neck was thick, and he was sweating profusely. It took him a while to finally recover.
When they arrived at Wong Tai Sin Temple, Li Yu saw that the temple was not large in scale and most of it had collapsed.
In the main hall, there is a clay sculpture of a god. It can barely be seen. It is a human figure, but it has an animal head. It looks like a fox or a cat, and it seems to be smiling but not smiling. It is very strange and looks very evil.
There were still signs of burning in the collapsed parts of the house, and there was a faint smell of burning in the air.
"Xiao Liu, and Li Xiaozi, over here!"
Not far away, in front of a collapsed earth slope, Lao Qutou waved to them.
In front of the hillside, several men were digging into the earth with shovels and digging up corpses. They were exhausted and sweating profusely, and their bodies were covered with mud.
There were five other corpses placed on the ground next to them, covered in mud, cold and lifeless.
Li Yu quickly ran over to help.
Not long after, the remaining bodies were dug up.
There were eight corpses in total, some old and some young. The younger one was one or two years younger than Li Yu, with a somewhat immature look on his face, while the older one was fifty or sixty years old, with dense wrinkles on his face.
The family members of these corpses came one after another, crying and crying around the corpses, their voices sad and moving.
Li Yu sighed and couldn't bear to look directly at it.
Although the more corpses there were, the greater the reward would be after the burial, but he was not happy at all.
In today's era, for poor people at the bottom of society, a man is a labor force and the backbone, able to support the entire family and support the whole family. Without men, only women, children, old and young are left, who are bullied and devoured.
It's all normal, whether you can survive or not is a question.
If a man dies in the family of these people, the blow to the entire family will be fatal, and the days to come will only become more and more miserable.
After the family members of the deceased had cried, Li Yu began to bury the corpses and sort out their remains.
These corpses were all covered with mud, and some had black mud in their mouths and noses, along with mucus.
After taking off the clothes on the corpse, Li Yu soaked the towel and began to carefully clean the dirt on the corpse, arranging the face and hair. He was very skillful, serious and meticulous in the process.
The family members of the deceased nearby did not dare to disturb him, but two of the boys took the initiative to help pass things and fetch water.
After burying the first corpse, a reminder of the reward for successfully burying the corpse came to my mind.
The reward was a button, which was ordinary and of no value, but Li Yu didn't take it to heart.
