Chapter 389 If Life Was Just Like First Seen (Part 2)
After leaving home, I walked to the rental house where I usually live.
The rental house was specially rented by me to accommodate Monk Hua and Liangpi. At that time, it was also the place where I ate and slept.
But as I went out more and more often, I rarely returned to the rental house. As for the flower monk who always stole other people's pet dogs, and the paralyzed Liangpi, they had not been seen for a long time.
As soon as I arrived at the rental house, I opened the door and took a look and found that it was empty, with not a single soul in sight.
"Flower Monk?"
“Liangpi??”
I shouted a few times, but no one was there at all!
I had to wait inside for a while, but after ten minutes, no one came back.
In desperation, I had to close the door and rush to the last place I wanted to go - the crematorium...
About an hour later, I arrived at the crematorium.
As soon as I entered the crematorium gate, I saw several black cars parked inside. Apparently there were guests coming.
I passed through several memorial halls where family members of the deceased were crying loudly, and then walked straight to the dressing room and cremation room.
There was no one in the dressing room, but there were bursts of fire in the incineration room. It was obvious that corpses were being burned on a routine basis...
I entered the cremation room and found that the person who was burning the corpse was not Uncle Quan, but a very strange man.
This man was young and seemed to be a novice. He was standing next to the crematorium, trembling with fear.
"Brother, new here?" I walked over and patted the man's body, which made him tremble.
The man was startled, and his face almost turned pale. He was so focused on the crematorium that he didn't even see me coming in.
"Scared me to death." The man said, patting his chest.
I extended my hand to him and made a shushing gesture.
"Brother, haven't you heard that you can't say that word in the crematorium?" I said.
"Which word?" the man said, stunned for a moment.
"That's it..."
The man hesitated for a few seconds and whispered: "Is the word death meant?"
I nodded, and in the next second, a loud crackling sound suddenly came from the crematorium, which scared the man and almost sat down on the ground.
After a while, the man came back to his senses, and he said to me with lingering fear: "Little brother, are you a family member?"
I shook my head.
"You are not a family member, so how do you know this crematorium is taboo?" the man asked doubtfully.
"Hey, if you don't mind, you can call me senior... Let me ask you, where is Uncle Quan?"
The man touched his head and said, "Uncle Quan? He resigned the day before yesterday..."
"What, resigned?"
"Yeah, it doesn't count as resignation. He wanted to resign, but the director refused to resign and gave him a long vacation..."
My mind was stunned and I almost didn’t react!
Uncle Quan actually resigned. This is unscientific!
It is said that this old guy has been in the crematorium for decades. There are more than a dozen square meters of cesspools under the toilet of the crematorium, and most of them are his contribution. How could such a hard-working old guy suddenly suddenly
What about resigning?
I was a little puzzled and quickly asked a few more questions, only to find out that the young man in front of me was actually recruited a few days after I left.
Gu Yanran and Xiao Yuqi in the dressing room next to them did not resign. They were still there, but I didn't see them just now...
I patted the young man on the shoulder. Seeing me leaving, the young man hurriedly asked me: "Little brother, you are my senior, can I ask you a question?"
"Tell me about it."
"That is, are there ghosts in this world..." The young man swallowed a mouthful of saliva and glanced at the crematorium where the corpses were burning.
A smile appeared on my lips and I said, "Do you think ghosts are scary?"
The man nodded repeatedly.
I paused and replied: "Brother, remember, the scariest things in the world are not actually monsters and monsters!"
"If it's not a monster, what is it?" The man looked confused.
"It's the human heart..."
After saying this, I turned around and walked out of the incineration room, leaving behind a young man with his mouth open and stunned...
A few minutes later, I wandered around the dressing room for a while. Just when I felt a little regretful that I didn't see Uncle Quan preparing to leave, there were a few more figures at the door of the dressing room!
"You brat, do you eat dog meat? The shepherd dog I just stole smells like mutton..."
An extremely familiar voice sounded, which made my heart skip a beat!
I suddenly looked back and saw several more figures at the door of the dressing room.
A flower monk was holding a big bowl and eating dog meat, his face was shiny...
Two were wearing white coats, one was Gu Yanran with her hands on her hips and said I was a shameless person, and the other was Xiao Yuqi who was looking at me with big eyes full of surprise.
"Brother Xiaofeng, are you back?" Xiao Yuqi said.
I nodded, glanced around, and saw the figures of two men behind Gu Yanran and the others.
"Uncle Quan, I'm back..."
Looking at that vicissitudes of life, my heart felt hot and I took the initiative to walk over.
Uncle Quan at the door was holding an unlit cigarette. The expression on his old face was very indifferent, as if he already knew that I would be back today.
I quickly lit a cigarette for Uncle Quan. Uncle Quan glanced at me, and suddenly a glimmer of light flashed in his old eyes.
"Yes, he has been completely transformed..." Uncle Quan said.
"Are you talking about my temperament?" I asked, licking my old face.
Uncle Quan rolled his eyes at me and said coldly: "My temperament is still the same as before, but my physique is much stronger..."
"Well, I'm just too down-to-earth." I blushed, looked at Liangpi who was silent, and couldn't help but reach out and pat his shoulder.
"Little brother, long time no see." I said after taking a shower.
To be honest, I wanted to chat with Liangpi for a while. After all, I hadn’t seen him for a while, but this guy faced me with his unhealed paralyzed face, which immediately made me lose my desire to talk.
…
I quickly changed the subject and said to Uncle Quan: "I heard that you want to resign?"
Uncle Quan puffed out the cigarette, walked straight into the dressing room, sat down on the trolley specially used to push coffins, and said, "I want to resign, but Xiao Lin didn't give it to me."
The Xiao Lin in Uncle Quan's mouth is naturally the director Lin Wei. In the entire crematorium, Uncle Quan is the only one who dares to call him Xiao Lin. Like me, I used to be the director of the forest farm...
"You are almost retired, why do you suddenly want to resign? If you resign one day, maybe you can still use your employee salary?" I touched my nose and deliberately said to Uncle Quan.
Uncle Quan snorted at me, then took a long puff of cigarette, with a look of reminiscence in his old eyes, and said: "It's time to put an end to some things..."
