I pushed the coffin into the dressing room. In the morning, although I had never been in the dressing room, I had seen the only woman in the dressing room, Sister Liu.
Since our crematorium is not very big, the departments and employees inside are almost all streamlined.
There was a dressing table and chairs in the small dressing room. I pushed the coffin in, then stood aside and said to the woman who was sitting on the chair adjusting foundation: "Sister Liu, the family members outside said..."
Before I finished speaking, Sister Liu had already waved her hand to indicate that she knew.
Sister Liu is not very old, she is about 27 or 28 years old. She is a standard young woman with charm. It is almost winter now, but Sister Liu's white coat has three buttons unbuttoned. She is sitting
On the chair, I stood aside and lowered my eyes just a little, and I could see at a glance her full white beauty in her white coat...
I quickly moved my eyes elsewhere, but Sister Liu said nonchalantly: "Humph, people have gone to heaven, and now they know how to please, why did they go there earlier?"
Sister Liu murmured and glanced at me, "Hey, Xiao Zhou, why are your face so red? Are you okay?"
I secretly sighed and thought to myself, Sister Liu, your chest is full of joy. I am still a newborn calf, how can I not blush!
I slightly opened the coffin on the cart. The coffin containing the body was a paper coffin (because when burning ashes, wooden coffins are heavy and difficult to burn, so some rich people will spend a lot of money to buy a delicate paper coffin.
The coffin was used to hold the body of the deceased, so that the paper coffin and the burial objects could be burned together). The lid of the coffin was just a layer of cardboard. As I opened it gently, I soon saw that
Inside the paper coffin lay an old man with blue lips and a face as flabby as noodles...
To be honest, this was the first time in my life that I saw a dead person. Even though I had been prepared for it before, when I saw it with my own eyes, I still couldn't help but feel my heart twitch!
I quickly turned my head and didn't dare to look any further. To be honest, this old man's face was a bit ugly. His face was almost miserable. In addition, living people are always afraid of dead people. Although the old man couldn't even move inside, I
I just don’t dare to look at it any more.
Sister Liu on the side seemed to have expected this when she saw me. Without saying anything, she directly took a red rope from the dressing table, and then gently tied one end to the old man's finger, and the other end.
It was Sister Liu who tied her fingers.
Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but frown and asked, "Sister Liu, what is this for?"
Sister Liu raised her head and looked at me, the spring light on her chest was exposed to my eyes again, and my face suddenly turned red again.
"Silly brother, this is the rule of our profession. Even if you tell me, you won't understand it. Anyway, it's just beneficial and harmless."
While Sister Liu was carefully applying makeup on the old lady with makeup tools, she was chatting with me nonchalantly. (At first, I was also wondering why Sister Liu would chat so much when putting makeup on a dead person.
, I later discovered that this is actually one of the small taboos. I will reveal the details to you later.)
For ten minutes, Sister Liu didn't stop talking. She talked about whether my first night was still around or not. Finally, after the old lady's makeup was done, I was already as red as a monkey's butt;
It’s just passed, the ghost wants my first night!
Sister Liu finished applying makeup to the old lady, then she untied her red rope and wrapped it around the old lady's finger, indicating that I could push the cart to the incineration room.
I nodded when I saw this. Sister Liu was not bad, but she was a little too unrestrained. It was obviously too much for a little calf like me. I pushed the cart and sent the paper coffin to the incineration room next door. At this time, Uncle Quan was already inside.
He was smoking a cigarette and holding an open bottle of liquor in his hand.
"Come on, turn on the stove for the first time and take a sip!" Uncle Quan said calmly.
I glanced at the white wine and nodded in agreement with some embarrassment. As a teetotaler, this sip of white wine must not go to my head!
I took a quick breath, and then Uncle Quan and I moved the old lady in the paper coffin to the push plate of the stove (many corpse-burning stoves have different designs. Our push plate is semi-machine, and the corpse
If you put it on top and push it into the stove and then light it and burn it, the ashes will gather on the push plate, making it easier for family members to collect the ashes).
The old lady's body wasn't heavy at all. After moving it to the push board according to the placement of my inner and outer feet as Uncle Quan had previously told me, Uncle Quan then walked to the end of the control switch.
"Push in!" Uncle Quan said.
To be honest, when Uncle Quan finished speaking, my hands were still trembling; hell, there is no difference between this body and a living person (Sister Liu’s makeup skills are very good, the pale dead face was made up to look like a normal person)
Almost) my body was about to be burned alive. My head suddenly felt a little blurry, and my hands and feet were not able to control their movements.
I dare say that if it were someone else, when you look at a body that is no different from a living person in front of you, and then you are asked to push it into the furnace with your own hands, and you don’t hesitate or hesitate in your heart, then you will definitely be burned.
The corpse craftsman is talented!
"Silly boy, why are you so dazed? Hurry up and stop whining like a girl!" Uncle Quan said impatiently from the side.
I gritted my teeth and felt a little certain in my heart. Maybe it was because the sip of white wine hit my head. I took a deep breath and pushed it in.
As soon as the old lady's body enters, the next thing is much simpler; turn off the stove, sprinkle oil (the oil is usually diesel, and it burns violently!), light the fire, and finally wait for it to burn to ashes...
After the old lady was pushed into the furnace and burned for about ten minutes, a middle-aged man in sackcloth and mourning walked in from outside the crematorium, and the girl who thanked me walked in.
The girl held an exquisite urn in her arms, staring straight at the burning stove, and her long eyelashes stained with tears were trembling slightly.
At this time, I really saw the girl's appearance. To be honest, this girl looked like the kind of child from a rich family. Her skin was fair and beautiful, and her eyes were as sparkling as the stars in the night sky. It made me
This little bachelor of similar age was a little nervous for a while.
The middle-aged man must be the girl's father. He took out two red envelopes from his pocket, then stuffed one into each of Uncle Quan and me, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, two masters. I'll pay you for this small amount of smoking money."
You're welcome, I hope the two masters will be more considerate."
I still didn't understand what the middle-aged man said about being considerate, but Uncle Quan was already calm about it and said: "This is what we should do. Don't worry, silly boy, go and put the stove on."
Add ten more minutes to the time."
Facing Uncle Quan's command, I didn't hesitate much, but what made me feel a little unhappy was that, Uncle Quan, it's okay for you to call me "boy" in front of a beautiful woman, why did you add the word "silly"!
The middle-aged man said a few harmless words to Uncle Quan, and then took the girl out.
At this time, I couldn't help but touched the back of my head and asked curiously: "Uncle Quan, do they mean to let us burn a little longer?"
Uncle Quan took out the red envelope and pinched it, then said with a somewhat complicated expression: "I'm afraid this old lady's death is not that simple."
When I heard Uncle Quan's words, I couldn't help but be stunned. Hasn't the old lady already been sent to the stove? Why did Uncle Quan still say this?
Just before I had time to ask why, a crashing sound suddenly came from the burning stove of Pili Bar!!
