In the evening of that day, the three of us had arrived at the foot of the barren mountain mentioned by the field director Lin Wei.
As soon as I arrived at the foot of the barren mountain and the car stopped, I saw a group of men in white coats walking past the car window.
Li Qiang opened the car door. As soon as Uncle Quan got out of the car, the men in white coats handed several documents to Uncle Quan.
"You should be from the crematorium. This is a document issued by the Civil Affairs Bureau. Take a look at it. If there is no problem, we will hand it over to you." The man in the white coat said.
When I heard this, I quickly looked up and saw that what was written on the document was actually a few simple sentences and a red seal.
The document stated that in order to prevent the nameless corpses on this barren mountain from causing panic to the villagers living nearby, and to prevent infectious diseases from developing after the corpses decompose, our crematorium must use professional technology to bring these nameless corpses back and burn them.
To put it nicely, we are asked to come to the barren mountains to collect corpses and eliminate harm for the people.
To put it bluntly, we are actually here to wipe the butts of these forensic doctors in white coats. They just throw the bodies they don’t want back to us to take back and burn!
But God knows, the age of these corpses is unknown. Instead of taking them back as antiques, they planted them all back for us and burned them. This shows the value of these nameless corpses in their eyes.
Uncle Quan scrawled a few words on the document, and then the man in the white coat who headed it smiled and said goodbye to us and said he was leaving.
I saw that the man in the white coat did not forget to look at me one more time before leaving. Looking at his face covered by the mask, I always felt that something was wrong with the way he looked back at me just now.
But I can’t tell what exactly is wrong...
Seeing the group of men in white coats getting into a few jeeps and leaving quickly, I asked Uncle Quan: "Who are those people? They are really talkative!"
Uncle Quan didn't even look at me, he just took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, saying: "Don't worry about who they are, do your own thing, rest here tonight, and get on with it tomorrow morning."
"
"Isn't it? Spend the night here?"
"Why, you don't want to spend the night here?" I immediately felt a little uneasy. What kind of joke would it be to spend the night at the foot of the mountain? What if some wild beast comes out in the middle of the night?
Even if there are no wild animals, you must know that there are still some nameless corpses on this barren mountain!
Uncle Quan turned a blind eye to my resistance. He said a few words to Li Qiang, and then went straight to the hearse to grab a tent.
"I'll sleep in the car, you guys sleep in the tent." Li Qiang shrugged.
Uncle Quan nodded, then looked at me, and said angrily: "What are you doing standing there, come and help!"
"Um, do you really want to spend the night here? Uncle Quan, isn't this a bit..."
"You don't want to spend the night here? Then where do you want to spend the night? There is no village or shop here. How can you even have a tent to sleep in?"
After listening to Uncle Quan's words, I had no choice but to walk over angrily, lowering my head to help Uncle Quan set up the tent...
The night is gradually turning dark, and the temperature at the foot of the barren mountains is gradually cooling down.
Uncle Quan and I made a fire next to the hearse, while Li Qiang took out some prepared food in the car.
The three of them ate some hastily. Li Qiang was a boring gourd himself, and Uncle Quan was extremely aloof sometimes, so I was left to mutter to myself for a long time.
But while we were eating around, I heard the sound of footsteps slowly coming from the distance.
I looked back and saw a figure approaching in the night.
A few seconds later, a man who looked like a backpacker appeared in front of me.
This man was about the same height as me, but his face was full of stubble and he had messy hair that was already greasy and shiny. He looked young, but he looked very mature.
Looking at his expression and posture, he is completely like a social youth who is idle and not doing his job properly. But at this moment, this social youth walked to our fire.
Only then did I finally see clearly how young people in this society dress!
A pair of simple jeans, the upper part was very dark, and it was unclear how long it had been since it had been washed.
As for his jacket, he wears a vest inside and a large denim jacket outside...
What interests me more is that this man with a stubble on his face actually walked towards me first.
"Is there any wine?"
As soon as this guy opened his mouth, he asked me if I had any wine. I subconsciously lowered my head and glanced at this guy's true face, and there were actually several shocking wounds on his face!
It's just that the clothes this guy was wearing hadn't been washed for an unknown amount of time. When he stood in front of me, he looked a bit wild and unrestrained.
"I don't have any wine, but I have some food. Do you want it?" I asked the man.
The man hesitated for a moment, then his eyes stayed on me for a second or two, half laughing and half singing a cappella: "No wine, no joy... The world laughs at me for being too crazy, I laugh at others but they can't see through...
"
Seeing this man singing more and more energetically, I couldn't help but feel suspicious. Was this guy stupid? He was singing so late at night?
Judging from the way this man is dressed, he should be similar to those who love travel and adventure.
But why did this guy come here alone this late at night? Isn't he afraid...
I frowned and was about to ask what this man was doing. After all, there was no one around here at all. If he was here to travel, but he was alone, it would be a bit dangerous.
The man looked away from me and then gave me a meaningful smile.
When I saw this, I couldn't help but reach out my hand to cover my back garden flowers. Not only was this man dressed like a sharp guy, but he also behaved strangely.
That meaningful smile, no matter how you look at it, doesn't look like that of a normal traveler.
The man lifted his legs and continued walking towards the barren mountain in the night. At this time, I hurriedly shouted: "Brother, there are some unknown corpses on the mountain. I suggest you don't go there..."
When I finished speaking, the man hesitated for a moment and finally didn't look at me again.
"Is this person really here to travel? Why do I feel a little weird? He actually dares to go up to the barren mountain where corpses appear?"
I suppressed my doubts about the man's unusual expression, and then took the beer from Uncle Quan.
Uncle Quan raised his head and glanced at the back of the man who was gradually leaving, and then said to me expressionlessly: "It gets cold at night, so you will sleep better if you drink some wine."
"I know." I could only nod dryly. I don't know if I can sleep better after drinking this wine, but what I am sure of is that after drinking this wine, I'm afraid I will have to lie down until the next morning.
Already.
…………
In the end, I don’t know whether it was because Uncle Quan drank too much or because I was just too hard. Before I knew it, I fell asleep in the tent.
As my consciousness had completely emptied, I could faintly feel the sound of strong wind coming from outside the tent.
The sound of the wind was like complaining and weeping, and even though I was a little drunk, I began to feel my body gradually getting colder!
I unconsciously opened my eyes and looked inside the tent, only to see that I was the only one in the tent.
"Uncle Quan isn't here?" I trembled suddenly. I remembered that I and Uncle Quan lay down before going to bed. Why is he still not here in the middle of the night?
Just when I was secretly surprised, there was a fierce wind sound outside the tent again. My heart tightened, so I gritted my teeth and opened the tent to see if Uncle Quan was still there.
But when I finally opened the tent, I found that it was empty and dark outside. What surprised me even more was that it was almost midnight. Not only could I not see Uncle Quan, but even Li Qiang in the hearse could not see him.
All disappeared...
