Volume 1 Chapter 061 Snake Disaster
When I heard him say the word "surname Zhong", I couldn't help but be shocked. I thought, isn't the dead face the surname Zhong? This old guy has always been mysterious. I didn't know his origins until he died. When I heard that Ma Laoda mentioned "surname Zhong", I couldn't help but want to hear him talk about who the surname Zhong he mentioned was.
But the old man just muttered to himself for a few words and didn't say anything else.
Before I understood the origin of the dead face, I didn't dare to say anything casually, for fear of attracting some unexpected disaster. I shook my head and said, "I only met that elder once, and then he passed away. I don't even know his last name."
Boss Ma's face drooped, as if he was a little disappointed, and asked again: "How old is your elder, and what does he look like?"
Of course, I wouldn't be stupid enough to describe the dead face's appearance, so I just described it randomly, saying that he was a man in his thirties, thin and dark, and spoke in a long-winded manner. This was completely different from the dead face, and no matter how much Ma Lao Da tried to make random connections, he couldn't connect it to the dead face.
"Oh?" Boss Ma hesitated for a while, the wrinkles on his face gradually spread, and he said, "So, could it be the one with the surname Fang?"
I said "shit" in my heart. I thought, no way can something I made up correspond to a person? Could it be that the guy surnamed Fang is also a skinny, dark-skinned chatterbox? This is too damn coincidental!
I pretended to be curious and asked, "What do those people do? Are they carpenters who build houses?"
When Boss Ma heard this, he smiled and said, "Let's not talk about these people." He looked at me for a few seconds and said, "What's your name, kid?"
I just told him the name truthfully.
"Lu Jing, um, that's a good name." Ma Laodao said, "You said you were here to apply for the job of a makeup artist, right?"
I nodded. After all this time, I finally got back to the point. It's really not easy to find a job.
Boss Ma laughed and said, "Don't you know that hiring child labor is against the law?"
When I heard this, I couldn't help but curse in my heart, how could I not know that? I suffered this hardship, and no one wanted me to wash dishes. I grabbed the recruitment notice on the morgue board, waved it at them, and said, "Your superiors didn't say that you don't hire child laborers! If you don't hire me, you have to reimburse my car fare! It cost me more than ten dollars to come all the way here!"
The old man looked at me with a half-smile. I saw that he didn't refuse immediately, so I thought, is there any hope? I said, "With your environment, the job notice has been posted for a month, and no one has come to apply, right?"
The black-haired man snorted coldly and interrupted, "It's half a month! Someone will be here in a few days! Did you see clearly, little brat? We are looking for a makeup artist. Do you know what a makeup artist is? Come and make trouble!"
"The makeup artist you hired is only for corpses, isn't he?" I looked at him strangely. "Is he for living people? I really don't know how to do that."
The black-haired man was choked by me and was speechless for a while, and the woman Yan Zi suddenly laughed out loud.
Boss Ma asked with interest, "Can you really do corpse makeup?"
I said of course. Corpse makeup is my specialty, and there is no other job that suits me better than this.
"You are such a kid, are you really good at this?" Yan Zi asked me, seeming a little surprised. But this is normal, no one would believe that a twelve-year-old child would put makeup on a corpse. But I am not a normal child, I have been called a freak since I was a child.
Heimao sneered, obviously still not believing it.
But the muscular man who had been standing next to him and had not said a word suddenly interrupted and said, "I think this kid is good."
I was praised for no reason. When I took a closer look at this man, I found that he was tall and strong, but had an honest face. Compared with the other people here, he seemed much more normal. I couldn't help but have a good impression of him.
Boss Ma pondered for a while, rolled his one eye, and looked at me several times. I was a little scared by his look, so I turned my eyes away and saw the skinny guy standing there blankly, so I asked, "Is this guy also from your funeral home?"
The swallow said, "Yes, he is the sixth one among us, and he is in charge of guarding the mortuary."
I couldn't help but get angry and said, "Your funeral home is really not decent. No wonder there is no business coming to you."
The black-haired man immediately got angry and cursed, "What nonsense are you talking about, little brat? Why is our funeral home not serious?"
Yan Zi covered her mouth and chuckled, as if she had thought of something extremely funny.
I pointed at the skinny man and said, "This guy just secretly molested the corpse. You let him guard the morgue with such a person, and you say your funeral home is a legitimate business?" Since you are running a funeral home, you are an insider and must abide by the teachings of your ancestors. No one who dares to molest a corpse should be spared!
The black-haired man immediately cursed, "What nonsense are you talking about, little brat! Believe it or not, I will break your dog legs! How could Lao Liu molest a corpse!"
Boss Ma glared at him and asked Yan Zi, "What's going on? Tell me now, why are you keeping me in suspense?"
Yan Zi covered her mouth and laughed non-stop, saying, "Old Six was examining the body at the time, and the kid misunderstood."
When Ma Lao Da and the others heard this, they said "Oh" in understanding. Ma Lao Da waved at me and asked me to follow him .
Seeing these people had strange expressions, I couldn't help but feel a little confused. Seeing that Boss Ma and others had already walked to the side of the female corpse, I had no choice but to follow them.
"Look." Boss Ma pointed at the woman's legs that were spread apart.
I hesitated for a moment, and seeing that they didn't seem to be joking, I went over to take a look. I was shocked at the first glance.
The thighs of the female corpse were covered in blood and flesh, as if they had been scraped by something hard and rough. It was a horrible sight.
I couldn't help but get closer and lay on the morgue board to take a closer look. The body exuded a sour and rancid smell, which was of course very familiar to me, the stench of corpses. But the stench of this woman's corpse was different from ordinary corpse stench, mixed with a strange fishy smell.
"Do you have gloves?" I asked without raising my head, carefully examining the strange wounds on the female corpse's lower body.
Ma Lao Da called out "Lao Liu". After a while, I saw a pair of corpse-wrapping gloves being handed over. I turned around and saw that it was the skinny guy, staring at me blankly.
When I saw the strange scars on the female corpse's lower body just now, I knew that I had misunderstood this skinny guy. I couldn't help but feel sorry, so I took the gloves and smiled at him: "I'm sorry."
The skinny man shook his head and said after a long while: "It's... okay..." His voice was drawn out, still without any ups and downs.
I nodded at him, put on my gloves, and carefully checked every inch.
"What did you see?" asked Boss Ma behind him.
"These should be scraped out by the scales." I pointed to the thighs of the female corpse and said, "But this is very strange, could it be that..."
"What?" Boss Ma said with a smile.
I hesitated for a moment and said, "This woman was...that..." I said halfway but couldn't finish the sentence.
The black-haired guy exclaimed, "I didn't realize you have such good taste, this woman was really ruined by something!"
I was startled, and thinking of that strange fishy smell, I blurted out: "Could it be a snake?" As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I suddenly felt cold and creepy.
The black-haired man said, "Damn it, you little brat are really amazing! Yan Zi, you didn't tell him about this, did you?"
Yan Zi said, "Pooh!" and said, "What are you thinking about in your stupid head ?"
Boss Ma nodded at me and said, "You are right. This woman was indeed harmed by a snake."
I got goosebumps all over my body when I heard that. I stood up, took off my gloves, and gave them back to the skinny guy. I smiled apologetically at him and said, "How's the wound on your head? Are you okay?"
The skinny guy didn't show any expression and shook his head dully: "Nothing......"
Yan Zi smiled and said, "That's how our Sixth Old Man speaks. Just get used to it."
I groaned, and took another look at the lower body of the female corpse. I felt goosebumps all over my body, and asked, "How could this woman be harmed by... a snake?"
