Chapter 13
Before retirement, Ah Xiu was a ghost catcher in the underworld. Years of chasing ghosts gave him a very stubborn occupational disease - whenever a ghost ran away in front of him, he couldn't help but chase it. If the ghost didn't run away, it would be fine. But once it ran away, he couldn't help but use the soul-locking chain to do it.
Su Yun once tried to treat him. After all, he was retired, so why work so hard? If he couldn't make any money from working hard, he would be lazy if he could.
The result was unsuccessful. Catching escaped ghosts had become an entertainment for the ghost catcher Ah Xiu. He enjoyed the pleasure of catching people. Su Yun considered that Ah Xiu had this hobby at his age and it was not easy to deprive him of it, so he turned a blind eye. At least, as long as Ah Xiu didn't use it on customers all the time, it would be fine.
Su Yun looked at the black chains scattered across the morgue, and could imagine what kind of battle had taken place last night.
Aunt Wu was turned into a mindless living zombie. She would definitely want to run away at night and continue to kill the Wu family. But the ghost catcher Ah Xiu couldn't bear to see this. Every time Aunt Wu did a sit-up, he would push her back.
After a whole night, I think both ghosts had a lot of fun.
She ran away, he chased her, and she couldn't escape even if she had wings.
Su Yun rubbed his aching head and said, "I don't really want to know. You should put all these away first. What will it look like if someone sees you?"
"Oh." The ghost Ah Xiu jumped down from the chains in mid-air, then grabbed one of them and collected all the chains in the room, revealing the original appearance of the morgue. The temperature slowly returned to the original three or four degrees above zero.
Su Yun walked into the morgue after nothing blocked her and went straight to the coffin. She did not write another yellow talisman and stick it on the head of the coffin last night. Since she couldn't stop the ghost anyway, she might as well let the ghost stare at her. Unexpectedly, Aunt Wu actually tried to escape all night.
Because it was day again, Aunt Wu had returned to her old age with white hair and her body had become much smaller.
On the surface, there was nothing wrong with Aunt Wu's body. After Su Yun checked, he turned around and asked the ghost messenger Ah Xiu: "Ah Xiu, how many times did she run away last night?"
The ghost Ah Xiu thought for a while and said, "I want to run about once every half an hour, but the time is not fixed, it may be a little earlier or a little later, as if... I am waiting for myself to recover my strength."
Su Yun nodded slightly, indicating that she understood, and asked the ghost messenger Ah Xiu to rest. She lit the lotus lantern again. As the funeral was approaching, they could not be careless even though it was already daytime.
Wu Jin and Wu Yu had just been introduced to the world last night, and they also woke up early. However, they dared not go out until other employees started to move around. Fear of encountering ghosts was secondary. The main reason was that the ghost in the funeral home was their own aunt. If they really encountered her, they would not know how to react, so they might as well stay there honestly.
It was only the end of May, but Bincheng was already very hot. It was only cool before eight in the morning. The entire funeral home was as cool as if the central air-conditioning was on all day. Only in the yard could one feel the early summer heat.
Yan Gui went to the morgue early in the morning to prepare preservatives and deal with Aunt Wu's body. Today he had to repair Aunt Wu's body and prop up her broken limbs with special materials. If there were other hidden injuries on her body, he would try to repair them so that the body would be in the best relatively good condition.
The job of an undertaker has always been considered unlucky, but in the minds of funeral home employees, it is the most indispensable part of a funeral. The undertaker allows the deceased to leave in the best and most decent appearance, which is a comfort to both the deceased and his or her family.
The undertaker in the funeral home has always been a sexy ghost. She has experience in painting skin. As a sexy ghost, she knows best how to paint a beautiful skin for herself to deceive people. No matter what kind of deceased person it is, after entering the funeral home, they will hope that they can temporarily have a decent skin after they die.
Just as Su Yun was about to leave, she saw Yan Gui coming over. She was a little surprised: "A Yan, you came so early? Usually I see you playing tricks and being lazy."
"No way, Director? I'm working very hard, okay? The damage to the previous corpse was not serious, so it didn't take much time. But Ms. Wu was seriously injured, and I couldn't figure out how to make her limbs look normal again." The ghost said distressedly.
When the ghost was cleaning Aunt Wu's body yesterday, she touched the bones on her body. Regardless of whether she was an old woman or not, the bones on Aunt Wu's body were badly broken. If the ghost herself had broken them like this, she would have definitely replaced even the bones.
But Aunt Wu is a human being. If she is still conscious, she would definitely prefer to be reincarnated intact, rather than replacing her bones just to look good.
What the sexy ghost has to do is to try to put Aunt Wu's broken bones back together within the scope of human technology, at least to prevent her from continuing to be hunched over with her limbs twisted. If she lies in the coffin, she will be able to stretch her limbs more comfortably.
Su Yun nodded in agreement and asked, "Have you checked how many places Aunt Wu needs to repair?"
Speaking of professional content, Yan Gui became more serious. She walked to the coffin, lifted the white cloth covering Aunt Wu's body and said to Su Yun, "There are several large ones, not to mention the small ones. First of all, her limbs. Director, you see, Ms. Wu's elbows and forearm bones were broken and then healed again."
There are bone ridges visible to the naked eye here, with bones sticking up on the forearm and elbow, as if they were deformed. It would have been a good thing if Su Yun hadn't known whether they were broken alive. After knowing this, he couldn't bear to look at it.
"In addition to the fractures of both arms and fingers, I checked and found that Ms. Wu's metacarpals and phalanges were also broken, and they were comminuted fractures. Her two legs had five wounds, including fractures from jumping out of a car and being broken twice at the same time. Because she was broken twice, she should have been completely unable to walk." The ghost became more and more angry as he spoke, and after he finished speaking, he held on to the coffin to calm down.
Even if Aunt Wu's wounds were treated in time, they might have left sequelae. She was stolen back by a disgusting and dirty man, and from then on she could never get out of that narrow attic for the rest of her life.
Su Yun clenched the folding fan in her hand, thinking that she had been too gentle at the time. After a while, she continued to ask, "Besides these, is there anything else?"
The angry ghost waved her hands and said, "The rest are minor injuries, which are easy to repair. She has many injuries of different sizes, but I won't talk about them for fear of getting angry. They are mostly from being beaten. There is also a special injury that is caused by pregnancy. I have handled the bodies of pregnant women before. In this case, the fetus is too large and has squeezed and displaced the bones of the pregnant woman."
Speaking of the body of the pregnant woman, Su Yun had an impression.
Before inheriting the funeral home, Su Yun was rescued by her parents and first stayed in the funeral home to recuperate for a long time. At that time, the funeral home business was not very good. She saw that her parents had always given her a very good life, but the funeral home was often closed. She was very worried that her parents' money was obtained by robbing a bank.
Among the few cases that Su Yun's parents received during his recovery, there was a very special pregnant woman. She died of dystocia. When she was brought to the hospital, she had a bulging belly covered by a white cloth that looked like a bomb.
Her parents-in-law said they were worried that she would not be able to give birth to a child and that the child would resent them. They also thought it was too shameful for their daughter-in-law to die in childbirth, so they found out about the little-known Xicheng Funeral Home, hoping to secretly hold a funeral for the pregnant woman and the child.
When people do something wrong, they worry about being retaliated by ghosts. When that family came, they were evasive and vague about the cause of death of the pregnant woman. When asked, they complained that the pregnant woman was unlucky and had brought burden to their family.
The rule of the funeral home at that time was that male deceased were received by Su Yiling, and female deceased and children were received by Ji Weitong. This was because some deceased did not want to come into contact with men during extradition, so they were separated just in case.
Ji Weitang found it strange when he heard the incoherent words from that family, but since a pregnant woman who died with a big belly was sent to them, they wanted her to be buried first, so he accepted the order.
It just so happened that Su Yun was able to get out of bed and walk during that time, and he was very curious about the funeral process, so he followed his mother to see what the process of a funeral was like.
Then after they took over the pregnant woman, they found that her stomach had been cut open, and there was a dead fetus weighing more than 20 kilograms inside. Because the pregnant woman was wearing intact and clean clothes when she was sent in, and there was not much blood, they forgot to check in advance.
Half of the people and ghosts in the funeral home looked at the pregnant woman with a cut in her stomach and a torn cervix on the operating table, and for a moment they didn't know how to react.
That day, Ji Weitang hurriedly asked the soul and found out that the pregnant woman was a child who grew up in a single-parent family. Her mother died early, and her father worked away from home all year round and raised her alone. He took care of everything. However, due to the idea of gender differences, her father did not teach the pregnant woman about childbirth knowledge.
When the pregnant woman without a mother grows up, she will fall in love, get married, have children, and then live with her husband's family. In order not to affect his daughter's normal life, the father usually contacts her by phone and only visits her during the holidays.
The pregnant woman soon became pregnant. She had no experience, was shy and introverted. After she became pregnant, apart from telling her father the good news, she was completely taken care of by her mother-in-law. Most girls have low energy after becoming pregnant, and not all girls realize that they should learn about pregnancy knowledge in advance.
So the pregnant woman was "taken care of" by her mother-in-law and did not go to the hospital for prenatal check-ups. She only went to the hospital for a check-up once when she was just pregnant to confirm the results.
How could a woman of my mother-in-law's age know anything about pregnancy? Even in their era, only doctors and midwives knew a little.
The older generation only knows to feed pregnant women to make them fat, thinking that this way the baby will be well-nourished and grow up plump and strong. Pregnant women who have no knowledge of pregnancy are fed to become overweight in three months.
Obesity and pregnancy almost consumed all the energy of the pregnant woman. She was not aware that her condition was not right. Since someone was taking care of her, she just ate obediently.
After eating, the five-month-old belly was as big as that of a normal pregnant woman about to give birth. At that time, my mother-in-law praised the pregnant woman for doing a good job and said that such a child would be the strongest and most blessed.
As the pregnancy progressed, the pregnant woman felt increasingly exhausted. She began to feel drowsy around six months into her pregnancy and seemed to have little clear consciousness every day.
There was no sign of birth. My mother-in-law didn't know how to calculate the days and thought that a pregnancy lasted for ten months. So she asked the pregnant woman to eat more even after the due date, thinking that if she didn't eat, she wouldn't have the strength to give birth.
Even with this kind of care, which was like feeding a pig, the pregnant woman suddenly had labor pains at nine months and three weeks of her pregnancy. Her amniotic fluid broke and the baby struggled to come out.
The pregnant woman had originally agreed with her husband that if she was about to give birth, he would drive her to the hospital, otherwise he would call 120. He should not be stingy with the money.
Unfortunately, the pregnant woman was unlucky. On the day when she was in labor and about to give birth, her husband had to go to the next city to attend a meeting and would not be back for about three days. This husband was like most brainless men in the world. He listened to his mother in everything and did not think of sending his wife to the hospital for a prenatal check-up. He even thought it was a waste of money and trouble. When the mother-in-law suggested not to go, the husband immediately agreed.
Before going to the next city, the husband pretended to be worried that he might not be able to make it in time for the birth of the baby. The mother-in-law assured him that that would not happen. The two of them made the decision in unison. The only request the pregnant woman could make was that her husband should come back soon. If he could not, the mother-in-law would call an ambulance to take her to the hospital.
As a result, the pregnant woman really gave birth within these three days. The mother-in-law originally thought that since it was her grandson after all, she had to call an ambulance for safety reasons. However, after the call, she found out that ambulance rides cost money. It was 40 yuan per trip within four kilometers, and 15 yuan for each additional kilometer. If a doctor was required to accompany the doctor on the way, an additional 60 yuan would be required.
The nearest hospital is five kilometers away from their home. When the mother-in-law calculated the cost, she felt distressed. She thought that she also gave birth to a child at home, so why can't the daughter-in-law give birth? It can also save money for her son!
So the mother-in-law lied to the pregnant woman and said that she had called an ambulance and asked her to wait patiently. In fact, she had not called one. She just thought that the pregnant woman should carry the baby herself, and when she got through, the baby would be out, and it wouldn’t matter whether the ambulance came or not.
The pregnant woman was in so much pain that she was unconscious and had no idea what her mother-in-law was saying. She lay on the bed with amniotic fluid and blood all over the bed.
The mother-in-law was still beside her, telling her to push based on her own memory of giving birth, and at the same time reached out to push her belly, trying to push the baby out, but the baby did not come out. The pregnant woman suddenly screamed and fainted immediately.
At this time, the mother-in-law was finally scared. She tried the pregnant woman's breathing and found that she was still alive. She hurried to check her legs. At this time, the pregnant woman's legs were bloody and the wound had been torn to the anus. As a result, there was no trace of the child.
Blood gushed out, forming a small puddle on the bed covered with absorbent cloth, and the blood flowed as if the faucet was not turned off.
The mother-in-law no longer dared to not go to the hospital. She was afraid that her precious grandson would suffocate to death, so she quickly found her father-in-law and called an ambulance. Soon the ambulance arrived. They sent the pregnant woman, who was almost dying, into the ambulance, and the doctor performed first aid in the car.
The pregnant woman barely made it to the hospital. After being pushed into the operating room, the doctor discovered that the fetus was not only in a breech position, but was also overweight. It was so overweight that it tore the mother's body apart shortly after the birth canal was opened, causing heavy bleeding.
The hospital issued a critical illness notice and asked my parents-in-law to sign it, saying that they agreed to a caesarean section. However, both of them disagreed. They wanted a natural birth and believed that children born naturally would be smarter and healthier.
As the two sides were struggling, the pregnant woman lost her vital signs and could not be saved by emergency treatment. The main reason was that she was sent to the hospital too late. The situation was urgent in itself, but as it involved the baby in her belly, the hospital was afraid of medical disputes, so they wanted the parents-in-law to sign first. As long as they signed, they would have no reason to make a fuss later.
Who would have thought that after such a short while, the pregnant woman died.
When the mother-in-law heard that the pregnant woman had died, she immediately asked what to do with the child. She asked if she could have a cesarean section as soon as possible, as she didn't want her grandson to be buried with her daughter-in-law.
Just now the two of them resisted as if their lives were threatened, but now when they heard that the pregnant woman was dead, they immediately agreed to have a cesarean section for the baby. So essentially, they didn't care how the child was born, they just wanted to squeeze out the value of their wives to the greatest extent.
When encountering such a situation, the doctors want to curse, but they cannot provide emergency treatment to the pregnant woman, so they must continue to save the child who may still be alive.
However, the pregnant woman had been delayed for too long by her mother-in-law. Even if the doctor immediately performed a cesarean section on the baby, they still could not save the baby - the fetus was fed too fat, which in itself affected her respiratory function. The heavy bleeding from the mother mixed with the amniotic fluid caused amniotic fluid embolism. The fetus was in a breech position with the head up, and the mother-in-law delayed for too long at home, and the baby was suffocated to death.
Originally, the doctors were frightened for a moment after seeing the child suffocated to death. After this operation, neither the pregnant woman nor the child could be saved, and there would definitely be a medical dispute. But then the medical staff noticed that the fetus was a female.
Although they knew it was not a good idea, they were indeed relieved when they found out it was a girl.
If the pregnant woman is carrying a girl, her parents-in-law will only think that it is a good thing for her to die, and they can take their granddaughter away with them to save them from having to raise her.
The facts were just as the doctors had expected. When the family heard that the baby could not be saved, they immediately started crying and demanded compensation from the hospital. But when they heard that it was a baby girl, they stopped crying and were even very happy. The mother-in-law immediately discussed with the father-in-law how to find a good woman for their son, preferably one who could give birth to a son.
The unlucky girl who died now was not blessed. She was taken care of so well, but not only could she not give birth to a son, she also died of dystocia during childbirth, resulting in two deaths. She really should not have been married into the family.
The medical staff looked at them indifferently and smiled happily, and even felt that they had explained to their son. If the nurse hadn't reminded them, they wouldn't even want to take the bodies of the pregnant woman and the baby back. It was the hospital that repeatedly emphasized that it would not help to deal with it and asked the family members to contact the crematorium themselves, and they even wanted to leave.
Everyone knows that female ghosts and baby ghosts are the scariest because they have killed the most and have the heaviest resentment.
After the family took the pregnant woman and the fetus away, they did not dare to tell the pregnant woman's father, for fear that the man who had never married a second wife would cause trouble for them. So they asked people everywhere and found out about the existence of the Xicheng Funeral Home. They wanted to directly burn the pregnant woman and the fetus, and then notify the pregnant woman's father after burying them. In this way, the matter was already done and no one could blame them.
What Su Yun could not have imagined was that the group of people, for some unknown reason, tore open the pregnant woman's belly again and stuffed the fetus inside. The hospital had already sewed up the pregnant woman, but now the belly of the corpse sent here was torn into a bloody mess, and the organs inside were completely shattered.
Su Yun couldn't understand, so she asked Ji Weitang. Then Ji Weitang touched her head and explained, "Because the funeral home charges based on the body, if you burn a pregnant woman, it's counted as one body, but if you burn a pregnant woman and a fetus, it's two bodies, so you have to pay extra."
This kind of thing is not uncommon in funeral homes. Many people try to save money in various ways in order to pay less. Some people don't even want to buy urns and ask if they can use plastic bags to put the ashes.
If hospitals are the places where one can see the world most clearly, then funeral homes are the places where the ugliest sides of everyone in the world are exposed nakedly. Beneath the hypocritical faces, everyone is hideous.
In the end, the body of the pregnant woman was separated from the fetus. The funeral home paid for and helped to hold a funeral for the fetus. They collect infant spirits and cannot ignore them if they encounter one.
The ghost was cursing and repairing the body of the pregnant woman as she was dealing with it. The fact that the pregnant woman was overfed and obese was not a problem. The biggest problem was that her pelvis was dislocated and her whole body was torn from her belly to her thighs. If it wasn't handled properly, maggots would grow on her body and she would rot and stink before she even had to wait until the funeral.
As a last resort, the ghost cleaned out all the pregnant woman's internal organs, including the placenta that had not been removed. She originally wanted to clean it up and replace it with hers, but she found that it couldn't be put back together at all because they had been crushed and were in such tatters that it was better to make a fake one for her instead of putting it back together.
Later, the ghost told Su Yun that the internal organs were probably crushed by her husband's family when they were stuffing the fetus into the pregnant woman, otherwise they would not have been broken to the extent that it was difficult for her to repair them. Because she felt that the pregnant woman did not follow her wishes and made them spend money to have her cremated, she secretly vented her anger while stuffing the fetus into her, thinking that the body would be burned soon anyway and no one would find out.
In the end, they did not tell anyone about this matter. The pregnant woman was already dead, and her father was old. There was no need to add to her father's resentment. That family would have their own retribution, and they should not have dirty the pregnant woman's father's hands.
After dealing with the pregnant woman's body, the family did not come to the funeral. Instead, they paid money and asked the funeral home to handle it. By "handle it", they meant just burning it cleanly without any nonsense.
The pregnant woman was buried together with her unlucky daughter who was not born. Three months later, her father arrived with a tired face. He did not even have time to see his daughter for the last time. He was still waiting for his daughter to tell him the good news. He prepared gifts and supplements. Even if it was not easy for him to take care of his daughter, at least the material things should be in place.
What she got in the end was the news that her daughter had been buried for three months.
A week later, there was a news report in Bincheng newspaper about a father who murdered his family and then surrendered himself. Ji Weitong and Su Yiling went to help, and the father was sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve. Even though they said nothing, they still failed to stop a father from seeking revenge.
Pregnant women are rarely seen among the dead in funeral homes. After all, women have to carry on the family line, so even if something happens during pregnancy, they will wait until the child is born.
Aunt Wu's situation now is the same as that pregnant woman. Her pelvis has been stretched by the oversized fetus, and she has not done any rehabilitation. Even though fifteen years have passed, it still hasn't healed at all.
Yan Gui told Su Yun that she guessed that Aunt Wu's fat son must have been fed very big, and judging from the fat man's physique, their family might have an obesity gene, so Aunt Wu must have had a very hard time carrying this child, and she was lucky to be able to survive. Many women would almost certainly die if they got pregnant with such a child.
After listening to the ghost, Su Yun couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
This is the case in funeral homes. Every deceased person may have his or her own tragic story. Even the elderly who seem to have died of old age are often despised by their families before and after their death.
Sometimes in one's life, one really does not know what the purpose of living is.
Su Yun remembered that Aunt Wu used to love beauty, so he asked, "Can it be restored? At least make Aunt Wu look closer to me when I was young."
The ghost nodded: "The pelvis is fine, that's why I said that apart from those big wounds, the others are easy to deal with."
Broken bones need to be driven into the body with steel rods, like installing new frames on a broken doll, so that it looks like it is not broken.
The money for these materials is often included in the coffin costs. Before, Su Yun only charged for the ordinary coffin costs. Now, if she wants to add more materials, Wu Jin and the others will need to pay more money. However, Su Yun thought about it and simply didn't charge them. She regarded it as her farewell gift to Aunt Wu.
After arranging the affairs with the ghost, Su Yun prepared to have breakfast, still in the yard. She liked the spacious yard of the funeral home. Eating in the yard gave her a sense of leisure and improved her appetite.
After dinner, Su Yun continued to arrange the work. First, the ghost bride would take Wu Jin and Wu Yu to choose a ceremony hall. The funeral would be held in the ceremony hall. After the selection, the ghost bride would dress up.
Next are the urns, tombstones, and cemetery locations. The urns can be purchased at the funeral home or at the cemetery.
The Xicheng Funeral Home doesn't have much business now, but it still has cooperation with the cemetery. It has its own crematorium, and the cemetery also has one. Customers usually decide where to cremate based on the prices.
The distance between the funeral home and the cemetery is not too far, and it takes less than half an hour to drive there.
Su Yun took Wu Jin to go through all the procedures and tried to get all the details done today so that they wouldn't be in a rush on the day of the funeral.
Yan Gui came back at lunchtime and reported the situation at the table: "I have tried my best to adjust Aunt Wu's bones and some obvious scars, but the effect may still not be as good as when she was young."
Both brothers Su Yun and Wu Jin had seen what Aunt Wu looked like when she was young. She was extremely beautiful. Unless the ghost gave her a new skin, it would be difficult for her to even look "normally aged" given her current condition.
After listening to Yan Gui, Wu Yu felt a little sad: "Can't you recover to be like the young aunt last night?"
"Of course you can. Didn't you see it last night? Just make her bigger." The sexy ghost said with a smile.
Even though they had met their aunt last night, Wu Jin and Wu Yu were still stunned. Their first reaction was still that the aunt was a ghost, and they couldn't help feeling a little scared.
Su Yun took a sip of juice and said, "Ayan, stop teasing them. Wu Jin, last night I asked you to think about how to take the portrait. Have you thought about it? If you want to take a photo of Aunt Wu when she was young, then I can draw a talisman to make her change back temporarily, but she won't attack you."
Wu Yu's eyes lit up: "Is this still possible?"
Last night, time was tight, and Wu Jin and Wu Yu hid in their rooms again. They discussed on the phone that they wanted to take a photo of Aunt Wu in her youth. After all, that was Aunt Wu's truest appearance. They believed that Aunt Wu also hoped that she had never been cheated.
However, Wu Jin and Wu Yu were worried that this request would cause trouble for Su Yun. Aunt Wu had become very fierce after she became younger, and taking a photo of her seemed like a very dangerous job, and they did not want the funeral home employees to take the risk.
Now Su Yun took the initiative to suggest taking a picture of Aunt Wu when she was young, and the Wu Jin brothers were moved again.
Wu Jin hesitated for a moment and said, "Su Yun, if it's too much trouble, we can just look for an old photo of Aunt Wu and photoshop it."
"It's not a problem. We have experience, and it only happens once in a lifetime. Posthumous portraits are very important things, and of course it's best to take them now." Su Yun saw the worry of the Wu Jin brothers and gave them a reassurance.
It is true that people can only die once in their lifetime. Wu Jin had no way to refute it, so he agreed and then gave Su Yun money for the photo shoot.
Su Yun heard the notification tone of his phone, took it out and looked at it, and immediately couldn't help laughing: "Oh, how can I be so embarrassed? I must take the best picture of my aunt!"
Even if Su Yun could make Aunt Wu return to her youthful appearance temporarily, it would still be Aunt Wu's old body that would be present at the funeral, otherwise it would easily scare people. The undertaker only restores the appearance of the deceased, not makes the deceased return to youth.
The photo shoot was postponed to tomorrow, because the ghost still has to deal with Aunt Wu's body today. The process cannot be shown to the family members. Ordinary people would have nightmares after seeing that scene, so the family members should avoid it.
In the afternoon, Wu Jin called Wu's father and mother and told them what had happened in the past two days. He asked them the same question - who did the Wu family offend? Why would someone go through so much trouble to kill them?
When Wu's father and mother heard about this, they didn't believe it at all. They thought that Wu Jin and Wu Yu must have been frightened and had hallucinations in the funeral home, and they thought about finding a doctor, and it would be best if Su Yun could be checked as well.
Wu Jin said calmly that if they didn't believe it, then they could just come and see when Aunt Wu took her portrait tomorrow, and stay here for one night so they could attend the funeral the day after tomorrow.
No matter how staunch a materialist fighter is, if he sees a corpse and returns to his twenties, he will probably doubt his own values. No matter how much words of persuasion are said, it is better to let the parents see it with their own eyes.
Su Yun didn't work much in the funeral home. Most of the time he lay in the yard as a sleeping mascot, or a lucky cat. He was lazy and could sleep for twenty hours a day. When he woke up, he would eat something on the small coffee table next to him. After eating, he would lie down half-way and continue to sleep.
Now besides Su Yun, there is also an idle waste Wu Yu in the funeral home. He couldn't sit still. Wu Jin went to find his parents to explain the situation. He took another walk around and found that the employees all had their own work. Then he ran back to Su Yun and sat next to Su Yun's recliner to play games.
After playing for an hour, Wu Yu, who was losing, was so angry that he woke Su Yun up by cursing.
Su Yun threw a pillow at him and said, "You disturbed my sleep! What else can you do except swearing all day long?"
The pillow was not very heavy, Wu Yu grabbed it and punched it hard a few times: "Because I lost several games! My teammates were like dead people! I wanted to go through the network cable and twist their heads off——"
"It's just a game. If you're really angry, I'll teach you. Once you lose, uninstall it, and then download it back when the return gift time is up. Continue to uninstall it if you lose. After about three or five times, at least most of your teammates will be alive." Su Yun yawned and said, then he was ready to fall asleep in a daze.
"Is this true? But I never won when I uninstalled before." Wu Yu was still very angry and looked for water to drink on the coffee table. Living in the funeral home for the past two days, he found that boiled water was more thirst-quenching than various drinks or teas, especially when the weather was so hot. After drinking a cup, he felt comfortable both physically and mentally.
Su Yun turned over and said, "The game will also understand your psychology. It knows that you uninstalled the game because you were angry after losing too much. You will download it again when you are unwilling to admit defeat. Anyway, you will not run away, so why should you win? So you have to uninstall the game for more than the return gift time. Every time you lose, you have to uninstall the game for more than two weeks. If you recharge again, you will lose more than two weeks of turnover at once. Only then will the game really not assign you stupid teammates."
At Su Yun's instigation, Wu Yu uninstalled the game angrily. After uninstalling it, he found that he was even more bored in the funeral home without the game. However, in this huge funeral home, there were only nine living people including himself and Wu Jin, and everyone was very busy and had no time to pay attention to him. If he walked around by himself, he felt that such a large building was empty and it was scary.
Wu Yu was stunned for a while, then approached Su Yun and asked, "Su Yun, aren't you bored? Do you usually sleep like this all day long?"
With such ADHD, Su Yun probably couldn't sleep well. She sat up helplessly: "Being able to sleep is a blessing. Many people only sleep three hours a day to fight for their lives. If being able to sleep is not a blessing, what's the point of a bicycle?"
"But it's so boring..." Wu Yu muttered softly.
"How about I ask the second master to find a recliner for you in the warehouse so you can sleep on it?" Su Yun asked slowly. In fact, she still wanted to continue sleeping.
Wu Yu thought for a while and thought that since he had nothing to do, he might as well just go to sleep: "Well, sleeping is worse than doing nothing."
Su Yun looked at him with amusement, then took out his cell phone and asked the fireman if he was free. If he was, he should bring the recliner from the warehouse to Wu Yu. The young master was bored, and he wouldn't run around if he let him sleep.
Less than ten minutes later, the fire-maker came over carrying a recliner and set it up for Wu Yu. Then he handed Wu Yu a large bamboo basket and a large stack of paper money.
Wu Yu looked at these things in confusion: "What do you want to give me these for?"
The fire-burning master replied, "These are paper money for funerals. We usually fold them into shapes like ingots for our customers in advance so that they can be burned at that time. If you really have nothing to do and can't sleep later, you can fold them and come back to me for them after you're done."
Wu Yu, who had never folded paper money before, felt like he had found a new toy. He thanked the fire-making master and learned how to fold a good-looking ingot.
The young master is easy to coax. After teaching him how to fold gold ingots, he really starts to fold them one by one seriously. He won't be like the experienced ones who just pinch one at a time and do it perfunctorily.
While Wu Yu was folding up, Su Yun fell down. She closed her eyes and was not yet asleep when she heard Wu Yu calling her again.
"Su Yun, Su Yun, wake up!" Wu Yu poked Su Yun's arm from across the coffee table.
"What's wrong with you? Is paper money not fun?" Su Yun sat up unhappily. If she yelled at her again, she would really get angry.
Wu Yu turned the phone over to show Su Yun: "I saw that a dead person was found in the home of my aunt's son."
The phone was suddenly pressed against his face and he could not see clearly. Su Yun stepped back a little and saw that it was a news report from Bincheng media saying that there were two elderly bodies hidden in the refrigerator in the attic of a junior high school student's home. The student said he knew nothing when asked, and his parents were unknown and were under investigation.
Su Yun forgot to tell Wu Jin and Wu Yu about this matter yesterday. Their minds were all on Aunt Wu at that time, and the matter had not been concluded yet, so they simply didn't say anything. Who would have known that the police report made yesterday would be released by the media today? It can only be said that the media moves really fast.
Su Yun raised his folding fan and pushed Wu Yu's hand away: "I know about this. Didn't I go to their place yesterday? I found two large refrigerators in the attic where Aunt Wu lives. There were two elderly people inside. I guess they were the fat man's parents. He hid his parents so that he could continue to receive their pension, so I kindly called the police for them."
Based on the fat son's condition, Su Yun guessed that the fat man and the fat son had been living on their parents' pension. Later, their parents died, and there was no one to take care of them and they had no source of income. So the fat man thought of preventing his parents from dying so that he could continue to receive his pension.
The fat son is only a teenager and he definitely doesn’t understand this. Only a fat man can do this.
But the old man in the family was suddenly put into the refrigerator. Even if the fat son was a fool, he understood that someone in the family had died. He did not say a word, but ran away after his father had a stroke. He probably felt that his father was very free and happy stealing his grandparents' pension. He usually took money from his father, and now that his father was gone, he would continue to receive the pension. He did not want his father to come back at all, so he ran away directly from the private hospital.
Wu Yu didn't expect this to happen. He was stunned for a moment, then grasped the point: "Wait, doesn't Auntie live in a small attic of four square meters? You can't even stand straight, how come there are two big refrigerators?"
"It's true. Your aunt sleeps on a 90-centimeter-wide wooden bed. Next to her are two refrigerators. The space in the entire attic that can be walked around is only this wide. My calves are so fat that I can't stand in it." Su Yun gestured at the width that could be walked around. It was so narrow that Lin Lang's legs couldn't pass through.
When Lin Lang entered, the only place he could stand was the two empty spaces between the refrigerator and the bed. With his physique, he could fit in, but he couldn't turn around, which felt very frustrating.
Wu Yu was stunned by what he heard. He had lived a life of luxury since he was a child. He couldn't imagine how a person could live in an attic of less than five square meters with two refrigerators filled with dead bodies crammed next to the bed. If it were him, he would probably go crazy on the first day.
After a long while, Wu Yu came back to his senses and asked with gritted teeth, "What kind of punishment will this family receive next? How about I ask my brother to tell the director and settle my aunt's case as well?"
Previously, because of Aunt Wu’s own request, the Wu family did not go to look for that family. Aunt Wu really didn’t want to see that scoundrel family again. She said that she didn’t want to have anything to do with them before she died. Just treat her as someone who had been missing for many years and finally came back, and there was no need to contact people from the past.
So the Wu family turned a blind eye to the fat father and son. Later, Aunt Wu died soon, and the fat man came to them on his own. They were too busy to call the police to arrest them. If it weren't for the death of Aunt Wu and the funeral, they would have sent the fat man and his family to jail for rape and trafficking.
Now that the bodies of the fat man's parents have been found, it's a good opportunity to kill him while he's sick.
Su Yun knew that Wu Yu was angry, but there was no need to intervene in this matter, so he said: "There is no need to intervene. They are in the best condition now. Think about it, the only young and middle-aged man in the family who can work has a stroke, and two elderly people who can receive pensions have died. Now the police will naturally report to the government and the local tax bureau to stop paying pensions.
"There is only one fat son left. He can only play dumb in order to avoid being discovered that he abandoned his poor father who had a stroke. He is also over 14 years old. He cannot be sent to an orphanage and needs to be self-reliant. If you don't care about such a family, the fat son will sooner or later be unable to bear it and kill his father who is a burden to him. If the Wu family gets involved with them at this time, they will rely on you. The best thing to do is to ignore it."
Ignore this family and do not acknowledge that the fat boy is Aunt Wu's son. No matter whether the fat boy will claim to be related to the Wu family in the future, as long as the Wu family acts as if Aunt Wu has never been abducted, others will only think that the fat boy is delusional and crazy, and will not ask the Wu family to prove that there is really no blood relationship between them and the fat boy.
Aunt Wu had already made arrangements. It didn't matter. It was the best punishment for the father and son. What they feared most was poverty, so they should be made to suffer from poverty for the rest of their lives to slightly offset the suffering Aunt Wu had to endure.
After Su Yun's analysis, Wu Yu understood: "You are right, they have nothing to do with us, why should we care? That little fat guy is ungrateful and not a good person. He can even abandon his own father. Now in order to avoid being locked up, he will definitely pretend that he knows nothing. If he doesn't know now, then even if he suddenly knows in the future, no one will believe him."
Su Yun nodded with relief: "The boy is teachable, that's it, don't worry about it, they will suffer for the rest of their lives."
"Okay, I'll tell my brother that the fat boy has bad intentions, so it's best to just ignore him." After Wu Yu finished speaking, he immediately took his cell phone and went to Wu Jin's room to bother Wu Jin.
Now finally no one disturbed Su Yun's sleep, she could sleep a little longer, and wake up next time just in time for dinner.
Unlike Wu Yu, Wu Jin's first reaction when he saw the news was to confirm the death of the two elderly people and cut off their pensions. At the same time, he asked the private hospital to contact the police and say that they had finally found the family of the stroke patient and told them that the fat man had run away when he knew they had to pay the money.
As long as the news of the fat boy abandoning his father who had a stroke and running away without paying the money gets out, and it is reported every day, everyone will turn their attention to the fat boy. People who have seen the news will not give him a job or lend a helping hand. Firstly, he is underage and is considered a child laborer. Secondly, he has a bad reputation. Who knows what other sneaky things a person who can abandon his biological father will do?
The environment plays a big role in how a person lives. Only those who are lucky enough and strong enough will not be affected by the environment, just like Wu Yu. When he often hung out with Su Yun and her group, his luck was sucked away and he became like a fool.
When he was with Wu Jin, although he was still stupid, he didn't make people feel stupid, bad, or annoying.
This is also the reason why Su Yun never really killed him even though they had quarreled for many years. If Wu Yu was really hopeless, she would have plenty of ways to deal with her, and she would not agree to hold a funeral for Aunt Wu and continue to help solve problems.
During dinner, Wu Jin expressed his gratitude to Su Yun, thanking her for calling the police. Now their whole family was unhappy with the fat father and son, and she would be happy if they could get into trouble.
Su Yun raised his glass of juice and clinked it with his: "It's just a small favor. Anyone with a sense of justice will lend a hand and call the police."
"Thank you very much. By the way, can my parents come over and stay for a night tomorrow? They want to see my aunt taking pictures. We will pay for their food and accommodation, including mine and Wu Yu's." Wu Jin did not forget to open his parents' eyes.
"It's okay. It's just right that you're here. Although Aunt Wu's matter can be resolved, the mastermind behind it has not been found yet. Let them come and see with their own eyes. Maybe someone will be chosen." Su Yun said sincerely.
Wu Jin nodded: "That's what I think. My parents may know something that Wu Yu and I don't know, but they definitely won't tell us two young people. If they knew there was danger, they could have taken precautions in advance."
No matter what, if the Wu family is willing to investigate hard, they will sooner or later find the person who planted the seeds of resentment in Aunt Wu. This is also what Su Yun wants to find. If the other party is one of the people who killed her, or is a killer, she will not let him go easily.
After dinner, Yan Gui said that she had repaired Aunt Wu's body and asked Wu Jin and Wu Yu to go and take a look. If they were not satisfied, they would finalize Aunt Wu's makeup tomorrow, make final preparations, and take a posthumous photo.
Wu Jin and Wu Yu were reluctant to go. They respected and pitied their aunt, but they were still scared facing a zombie that could take off at any time.
Seeing the two people's hesitation, Su Yun took the initiative to say: "I'll go with you to take a look. After all, I call you aunt too."
In this way, Su Yun led the way, followed by Yan Gui and the Wu brothers.
The ghost gave them a heads-up in advance: "Don't be too disappointed when you see it later. To be honest, Ms. Wu's body has been damaged to this extent. No matter how you repair it, she will look like an old lady. Or if you want to perm and dye her hair, you can do it tonight."
"It's okay, we understand. Ayan, you've worked hard." Wu Jin waved his hands quickly. He had read Aunt Wu's medical report and knew how bad her health was. She was in a situation that the hospital couldn't save. It was already good enough that Yan Gui could create a fake one.
As we were talking, we arrived at the dressing room. The dressing room in the funeral home was different from other ones. The dressing rooms here were used to make up the dead. There was a dressing table but no mirror. The place for making up the corpses was the operating table, and there was a small cart next to it loaded with various tools, including scalpels, wire and steel bars, and all kinds of other things.
The ghost shyly pushed the cart further away and said, "I'm sorry, I was in a hurry to eat and didn't clean up properly, but the person has been repaired. You can take a look at her limbs and face. After all, these parts are exposed at the funeral."
The Wu brothers were not allowed to touch the corpse, so Su Yun did it for them. She lifted up the white coat that Aunt Wu was wearing - in order not to dirty the shroud during the repair, the corpse would be replaced with a special coat made by the funeral home, which was loose and comfortable.
Now the wrinkles on Aunt Wu's face have been smoothed out, and she looks closer to her real age, no longer looking like an old lady. Her body is taller than before, because the broken leg was restored to its normal length by the ghost, with more than a dozen steel bars installed inside, otherwise there would be no way to bend the leg bones and muscles that have already grown together back together.
And there are Aunt Wu's hands. Originally, the bones were dislocated and broken everywhere, leaving bulges on the skin, but now they are a normal pair of hands. Except for the fact that the veins are protruding and the joints are obvious, you can't tell that the bones have been broken.
Wu Jin turned his gaze to Aunt Wu's face and said softly, "This is how I imagined Aunt Wu would age gracefully. Ah Yan, thank you for your amazing healing touch."
"You're welcome. As long as the customer is satisfied, that's all. By the way, do you want to dye your hair? I have ready-made hair dye here. Some customers are asked by their families to dye their hair black after they die, as they think it looks better that way, and the deceased himself will be more satisfied." As the ghost spoke, he took out several boxes of hair dye from the cart. Each box had a different color, and the family members could choose.
After some selection, Wu Jin decided to choose black. After all, black would make Aunt Wu look younger and closer to her former self.
After seeing the body and finding nothing wrong, it was time for the funeral home’s regular routine – who will be keeping vigil tonight?
In Aunt Wu's situation, she must be watched at night. The ghost messenger Ah Xiu and the ghost bride have both been on duty. The beautiful ghost has to do Aunt Wu's hair tonight, so they can only choose people to watch at night from the remaining employees.
However, the two masters were not on night watch, so Lin Lang was left alone playing rock-paper-scissors with himself.
Lin Lang looked at Su Yun calmly for a while, then turned around silently to get his belongings. He was destined to be the one keeping watch tonight, and he also had to protect the safety of the beautiful ghost, because there was only one undertaker in the funeral home. They could do without handymen, but they could not do without the beautiful ghost.
Before going back to bed, Su Yun hesitated for a moment, but decided to go to the dressing room and remind Lin Lang not to work too hard at night. She didn't want to see burnt Aunt Wu when she woke up tomorrow morning.
It was not yet midnight, and Aunt Wu was lying quietly on the cart. The ghost pushed her to the shampooing basin and washed her hair carefully, turning the water flow very slowly. He also gave Aunt Wu some preservatives from time to time to prevent the water from washing away the preservatives and causing corpse spots to appear on her body.
Lin Lang stood aside solemnly, holding his sword, always on guard.
Su Yun sighed deeply when she saw this scene. No matter how many times, she felt that each of her employees was gifted, or to put it bluntly, their brain circuits were abnormal.
"Excuse me, both of you. Are you prepared to just spend the midnight hour facing Aunt Wu in zombie form?" Su Yun asked politely.
Hearing this, Yan Gui paused while washing her hair. She turned back in horror and said, "Wait... That's right! What should I do then, Director? I feel like I'm about to be poked with ten holes..."
Su Yun walked over, picked up a thin makeup brush from the dressing table, applied cinnabar on it and prepared to draw talismans on Aunt Wu's body, but was stopped by the ghost's wet hands.
Su Yun, who didn't quite understand, looked up in confusion: "What are you doing? Didn't you say you were scared?"
The ghost wanted to cry but had no tears: "Director, I spent a day to repair it. Now that you've done this, I have to make a new skin for her..."
This answer shocked Su Yun and Lin Lang. Su Yun was stunned: "No, I thought you were doing Aunt Wu's makeup normally. Now you say you are painting the skin for others?"
"I only drew some that were difficult to repair. Either I had to replace all the skins, or your talisman, curator, couldn't distinguish between friend and foe. I'll have to redraw it tomorrow once I get there." The ghost explained pitifully. No one wanted to redo the work. The workers had been working so hard, and it was best not to repeat the work if possible.
"..." Su Yun slowly withdrew his hand and asked her calmly, "Then you should think of a way to make you dye Aunt Wu's hair tonight without her poking ten holes in it."
It was obvious that Yan Gui had no choice. She looked at Lin Lang hesitantly, hoping that this big guy could give her some advice.
Lin Lang and the sexy ghost stared at each other for a while, then lowered their heads in silence.
Su Yun laughed out loud: "Don't look at him. I came here tonight to tell him not to get too close and burn Aunt Wu. With his cultivation, he won't be able to come up with a compromise even if he wastes it."
The ghost pulled Su Yun's sleeve aggrievedly: "But Director, painting skin is really hard, you can think of a way, there must be a way!"
However, Su Yun didn't know what she could do. Aunt Wu was now a zombie, and the transformation of a corpse into a zombie was irreversible. There were ways to deal with zombies, but she couldn't think of a way to have both.
But the ghost looked really pitiful. Su Yun thought for a moment and said, "If you want, I'll find a rope to tie her up. Then no matter how hard she struggles, she won't be able to escape from your grasp. Then you can continue to dye her hair."
After hearing this, the ghost was stunned for a moment: "But she just had steel bars on her limbs. When she struggled, the steel bars broke. I have to take them out and re-insert them tomorrow..."
Su Yun spread his hands: "Why don't you go out and pray to the gods? May God bless Aunt Wu not to come back to life tonight."
If a zombie resurrects, it will definitely cause an explosion. The zombie's survival method is to transform at night and be very capable of fighting.
Seeing that midnight was approaching, Yan Gui hesitated for a long time, holding back his grief: "Okay, Director, please draw it smaller, so that maybe I can fix it tomorrow without having to draw a new skin..."
So Su Yun drew a relatively long talisman from Aunt Wu's throat to her heart. As soon as he finished drawing it, Aunt Wu instantly looked ten years older and did not have the energy and spirit she had just now.
"You really are playing tricks on Aunt Wu. Now you've turned from a 40-year-old intellectual beauty into an old lady." Su Yun said, sighing.
It is so sad that people who are forced to change cannot change back until they die.
Yan Gui saw that the talisman had been painted, and the skin she made for Aunt Wu was not left at all. She resigned herself to her fate and continued to wash her hair: "Yes, with her corpse in this condition, it is impossible to restore her to her normal age with makeup techniques alone. We can only rely on painting the skin to make her closer to the ideal state."
If they don't focus on maintenance, a forty-year-old person will definitely be different from a sixty-year-old person. A forty-year-old person will look much younger. Similarly, the difference between a forty-year-old who is married and has children and one who is not may sometimes be greater than the gap between forty and sixty.
Having a child requires the mobilization of hormones throughout the mother's body, which are controlled and nutrients are absorbed by hormones. Even though they are both 40 years old, people who have given birth will look much older than unmarried 40-year-old women, as if they are not of the same generation.
The biggest health problem of Aunt Wu is that she was abused and gave birth to a son who was too fat. After being in and out of the gates of hell for so many years, her physical condition is comparable to that of an eighty-year-old woman. Makeup can only make Aunt Wu look like she is in her fifties or sixties, and only painted skin can make her look younger and more energetic.
Su Yun held the pen and watched the ghost wash Aunt Wu's hair for a while. Finally, he left in silence without saying anything.
Life is unpredictable. Death and pain always come unexpectedly, like a nightmare with no end.
During his middle school years, Su Yun also read some sentences that seemed very philosophical but actually made no sense. His mental state was bad and he would ask himself from time to time: Is death the end of life?
At that time, everyone was laughing and saying that when they died, everything would be gone. Of course, it was the end and the pain would end.
When he woke up in the West City Funeral Home, Su Yun discovered that death is sometimes not the end, but just the beginning of another life. It still depends on whether you are lucky. The lucky ones enjoy the second life, while the unlucky ones have another nightmare with no end in sight.
The former is Su Yun himself, and the latter is Aunt Wu.
Aunt Wu did make a fuss again at night, but with the talisman drawn by Su Yun, at least she didn't escape. The ghost held her down and washed her hair, and even smeared hair dye on her hair.
When Aunt Wu grew up, her hair was black, and it was impossible to tell whether the hair dye was effective or not even after applying it. However, Yan Gui's hair dye takes a long time to dye, so you can wash it off at dawn and then check if it is completely dyed. If it is not, just touch it up.
Su Yun didn't expect Aunt Wu to be so ferocious at first. The person who turned her into a zombie must have spent a lot of money, so she drew a talisman with a very strong suppressing force for Aunt Wu last night to prevent Aunt Wu from tearing up the yellow talisman and running away on the first night.
With the rune, Aunt Wu couldn't escape, but her body came back to life and tried to struggle free.
After a night of tossing and turning, the sexy ghost had to wait for Aunt Wu to fall asleep in the morning before washing off her hair dye to see if the hair was dyed evenly.
Fortunately, the ghost had great skills and had dyed the hair black. The next step was to make the final treatment for the corpse and turn the aunt back to her youth for the posthumous photo.
Father and Mother Wu arrived around 11 o'clock in the morning. Aunt Wu had just dyed her hair, and Yan Gui combed her hair into a serious style.
The situation today was special. Wu Jin and Wu Yu wanted their parents to believe that Aunt Wu had really turned into a zombie, so they went to the funeral home to greet them in person. Su Yun was already in the photo studio studying how to make Aunt Wu grow bigger without going crazy.
Lin Lang and the ghost catcher A Xiu were guarding nearby. Their presence was for safety. If Su Yun failed, they would suppress him directly by force.
The sexy ghost was adjusting the camera, and the ghost bride was fixing the lighting and other equipment - the two of them served as the photographer and assistant of the funeral home, the sexy ghost was the photographer, and the ghost bride was the assistant, and after taking the photos, they were the ones who edited, printed, and cropped the photos.
There are indeed few employees in funeral homes, and almost everyone has multiple jobs. They will go to work when they have time and ability, and those who don’t know how will learn on the spot.
Su Yun studied the corpse for a while and thought that he could use the control runes to temporarily make Aunt Wu think that it was night time. This way her body would become younger. However, because there was sunlight during the day, she would definitely not be able to move normally, just like a computer that freezes halfway through startup and will just keep loading.
The yellow talisman can be drawn in just a few strokes, and Su Yun helped Aunt Wu sit down at the position for taking the photo. A white background cloth had been set up behind them, and the deceased was fixed against the back of the chair so that he would not fall down when taking the photo.
Father and Mother Wu were brought to the photo studio inside the funeral home by the Wu Jin brothers. They still didn't believe that Aunt Wu would turn into a zombie. They looked worried when they entered the door. The sons might have been hallucinating.
Su Yun saw them coming in and greeted them directly: "Uncle and aunt, you are here, wait a moment, we can take pictures soon."
At this time, Su Yun was still adjusting Aunt Wu's posture, wanting her to sit straighter, so that in the photos taken later, Aunt Wu would appear to be very energetic.
Father Wu couldn't understand. He frowned and said, "Su Yun, are you going to take a photo of her like this? Isn't it unlucky to take a photo of her with her eyes closed?"
Considering Su Yun's previous superstitious attitude, he should have known about this kind of thing.
Without waiting for Su Yun to answer, the ghost bride, who had already turned on the spotlight, smiled and replied, "Don't worry, Mr. Wu, the photos we took will definitely show the eyes open."
Su Yun finally positioned Aunt Wu's face at a satisfactory angle. She then took the yellow talisman that she had drawn in advance and stuck it behind Aunt Wu's head. The next second, Aunt Wu's whole body trembled, and in an instant, she turned back into her young appearance. However, because it was daytime, her eyes were not open, and she did not struggle to escape or kill anyone.
"This, this..." Mother Wu looked at Aunt Wu who had become younger in horror, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
"Mom——" Wu Jin and Wu Yu quickly supported the unconscious mother Wu. After a moment of hesitation, they hurriedly performed first aid and pinched the Ren Zhong acupoint.
Originally, we planned to let Wu's father and mother see it today to make them believe that Aunt Wu was really made into a zombie, but we didn't expect that Wu's mother fainted just after the transformation.
Su Yun hurriedly took off the yellow talisman to avoid continuous stimulation to the still strong Father Wu. As a result, when Father Wu saw that Aunt Wu had turned back into her middle-aged appearance, he rolled his eyes and fainted on the ground. This time, Lin Lang flashed over to catch him, otherwise he would have fallen to the ground.
The sexy ghost who was adjusting the camera looked confused: "No, no...what's going on? Why do you feel dizzy after just one look? Then, should we still take the photo?"
The ghost bride stood on the chair and looked down: "Oh, Director, you scared Mr. Wu too."
"Don't say such sarcastic words," Su Yun glared at her unhappily, and then handed the yellow talisman in his hand to Yan Gui, "You guys keep taking pictures, take a few pictures of both looks, I'm afraid uncle and aunt may not be able to accept it, Wu Jin Wu Yu, you guys bring uncle and aunt and follow me to the guest room, I have aromatherapy there, you will wake up in a while, it's okay."
Wu Jin and Wu Yu were still panicking, but luckily there was the calm Su Yun who immediately obediently followed Lin Lang's lead and carried Wu's father and mother to the guest room.
The guest rooms in the funeral home had not been cleaned for a long time. Since Wu Jin and Wu Yu were going to stay there, they temporarily cleaned out two rooms, so Wu's father and mother temporarily sent the bed to Wu Jin's guest room.
Su Yun took this opportunity to run back to his room, find some calming aromatherapy, and quickly went to the guest room to light it.
After lighting the aromatherapy, Mr. and Mrs. Wu's complexion looked much better, and their breathing became more even.
Seeing that their parents were fine, Wu Jin and Wu Yu both breathed a sigh of relief. Wu Yu lay down on the edge of the bed. Only now did he realize how weak his legs were. If anything happened to their parents, the two brothers would probably never forgive themselves.
Su Yun was also relieved. She pulled Wu Jin to the door and said, "Wu Jin, didn't you tell your uncle and aunt in advance? I thought they knew and put up the yellow talisman directly. They are not mentally prepared and will be scared to death."
This is different from what Su Yun said in the private hospital that she invited the soul of Aunt Wu. After all, that ghost is invisible. Who knows what a ghost is exactly?
Choosing to believe in the existence of ghosts is nothing more than a self-consolation in the minds of ordinary people. They think that if ghosts exist, there must be retribution in the world. When they see a ghost without any preparation, being frightened and fainting is the least of their worries. If they have a bad heart or blood pressure, they may be killed on the spot.
Wu Jin wiped his face and said in shock: "I told them, but they didn't believe me. I said I would take a photo of my aunt when she was young today and let them see it. I thought they would be mentally prepared after hearing what I said, but who knew..."
Who knew that Wu's father and mother were just saying it perfunctorily and they themselves didn't believe it at all, so when they entered the door and saw their dead sister suddenly turned into a young appearance, they were so scared that they fainted.
Su Yun was at a loss for words: "Forget it... As long as the person is fine, it's fine. Anyway, let's talk about it later. As for the photo location, let's not go to see it for now. I'll ask Ayan to take the photos and send them to me."
After the aromatherapy is lit, people will wake up after a while. Su Yun asked Wu Jin to go into the guest room and wait for her parents to wake up to explain, and she went to clean up the new guest room with Lin Lang.
There are many guest rooms in the funeral home, but there have been no guests for a long time. If you open any door, the dust inside is so thick that it can bury a person.
Su Yun opened his folding fan, waved away the dust in front of his face, and held back a cough: "Why is it so dirty? Did you and Ah Xiu clean it the same way the other day?"
"Yes, the guest rooms are not very clean." After Lin Lang answered, he started to make the hand gestures of the cleaning technique.
With the master-level Taoist priest Lin Lang around, cleaning was not a problem. Su Yun just needed to check what could be used and what could not be used, and if it was not usable, he would quickly ask the two masters to replace it.
Fortunately, the items purchased by the funeral home were of good quality, and even though they had not been cleaned for a long time, nothing was broken.
The newly cleaned guest room was right next to Wu Jin's room. If Wu's father and mother did not plan to move at night, Wu Jin could at least go to his new room and sleep as soon as he went out.
Su Yun returned to the door of Wu Jin's room and waited for a while before going in. It happened that Wu's father and mother had finished listening to Wu Jin's explanation.
"Uncle and aunt, are you okay? It's all my fault. I acted without making sure everything was going on." Su Yun blamed herself a little. She should have first asked clearly about the content of Wu Jin's conversation with them. If the two elders were really scared to death by her, she would not know how to survive in Bincheng in the future.
"It's okay. Actually, Wu Jin has already said it. We were the ones who didn't believe it. When people get older, they tend to be stubborn." Mother Wu said softly, holding her chest. She was indeed frightened and was still panicking.
Father Wu beside him had calmed down. His face was as pale as Mother Wu's, but he was thinking about another question: "Yunyun, if it is true that my sister turned into a zombie, then what you said about someone deliberately framing her is also true?"
After waking up, the first thing that Wu's father thought of was not how terrible it was that his sister turned into a zombie, but what Wu Jin had repeatedly emphasized last night, that someone was targeting their Wu family, and even found their imprisoned aunt, turned her into a zombie after her death, and then let her return to the Wu family to kill people.
Su Yun nodded hurriedly: "Yes, I found the seeds of resentment belonging to zombies in the attic where Aunt Wu stayed before she died. Those things usually look like mold, but they are actually a kind of resentment. They usually live by sucking human essence or parasitizing in the human body. Since such resentment seeds have appeared, Aunt Wu must have become a zombie by human manipulation."
After hearing Su Yun's confident words, Wu's father fell silent, lowered his head, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Wu Mu noticed his expression and asked quietly, "Hubby, have you thought of something?"
Suddenly Su Yun looked at Wu's father expectantly. She really wanted to know who she had come into contact with before her death.
The guest room suddenly became quiet. After a long while, Father Wu finally spoke: "I just heard of such a person. People who have reached our position more or less believe in ghosts and gods. So there is a very famous master in the circle. He has a high level of Taoism and charges a high price. But as long as he is willing to take the order, he will definitely succeed.
"This person has a very obvious characteristic. Wherever he goes, a lot of mold will grow inexplicably within half a month. This worker will tell the employer in advance that after he leaves, the mold in the house must be cleaned up every day. Not a single bit can be left. When you mentioned mold just now, I thought of this person. Do you think it could be him?"
Su Yun's eyes lit up, and he asked hurriedly: "I'm not sure, but I know what mold looks like, and I can draw it now. Have you seen it?"
Unfortunately, Father Wu shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it. We don't believe in it. I just hear some old friends mention it. Or, you can draw it and wait until the funeral is over, and I'll take it to ask someone."
Su Yun, who didn't have much hope, immediately said, "Okay, I'll go paint now. Uncle and aunt, you guys have a good rest. Just call me if you have anything."
After saying that, Su Yunxing hurriedly pulled Lin Lang away, leaving the space to the Wu family. They must have a lot more to say.
To get from the guest room to the small building where Su Yun lives, one has to pass through the yard. The cook has already set the table for lunch. Just the smell of rice from afar will arouse the appetite in one's stomach.
Su Yun’s mind was now filled with the image of that mold, and he didn’t want to eat at all.
Lin Lang had been following Su Yun. Before she entered the building, he suddenly asked, "Director, can you draw a picture for me? I want to ask my senior brothers and sisters, maybe they have seen it. The attic of my fat son's house is too dark, and I didn't think of taking a picture at the time."
"Sure, come over, but I just drew it for emergency use. After the funeral is over, we can go there secretly." Su Yun greeted and went straight into the building.
"What else are you going to do? Take pictures?" Lin Lang hurried to catch up.
Hearing this, Su Yun stood on the stairs and turned back to look at him with a smile: "We are going to see if he is still there. If he is gone, then our every move is probably in the eyes of the murderer."
After going upstairs, Su Yun went to his office, found a brush and ink stick, ground the ink, adjusted the depth, and started painting on the rice paper.
During the years at the Su family, Su Yun was indeed provided with all the learning resources that a rich lady should have, such as Chinese painting, Go, horse riding, and musical instruments. As long as Su Yun wanted to learn something, the teacher would come to her home that same day.
Su Yun learned Chinese painting at the Su family when he was a child. Although he was not very talented in painting, fortunately he was able to calm down and he liked beautiful things. If he painted slowly, he could at least produce one or two qualified meticulous paintings.
When Su Yun found out that she was not the biological daughter of the Su family, she was shocked, but what followed was guilt, guilt towards Su Yun. She thought she had stolen someone else's life. She had wanted to calculate her expenses over the years with the Su family so that she could return all of it to Su Yun in cash when she had money in the future.
As a result, not long after, Su Yun discovered that she was actually taken away by the Su family when she was just born. In order to replace Su Yun's fate, the two had almost the same fate. The only difference was that whoever lived to the age of 20 as the eldest daughter of the Su family would have to endure the fatal disaster.
Su Yun never believed these things before. Instead, she thought that the Su family was sick. She was a good daughter of another family, but was stolen to be used as a shield. The comfortable life that the Su family gave her was actually money to buy her life.
After the truth was exposed, the Su family still insisted on letting Su Yun stay, saying that they had lived together for so many years and had some feelings for each other. The Su family was willing to support Su Yun until her death, and even if she achieved nothing in her life, they would give her the same treatment as Su Yun.
Then Su Yun spat and ran away, not caring about the sweet words of the Su family. The Su family paid her, and she stayed in the Su family until she was twenty years old. It was just that the money and goods were paid. If she stayed any longer, she would be a fool. Who knows if the Su family wanted her to continue to be a shield?
If you know that the other party has ulterior motives and still don't run away, then you are mentally ill. I suggest you go directly to a mental hospital.
But who would have known that even though Su Yun left the Su family and lived on her own for two years, she still died in an accident when she graduated from college and was about to look for her biological parents. From beginning to end, she had no idea what happened in the accident, and when she woke up again, she was in the West City Funeral Home.
According to Su Yiling and Ji Weitang, they did not know that Su Yun was taken away before, because the nurse checked with Ji Weitang and said that the child's umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck and he died at birth.
Ji Weitang cried until she almost went blind, and Su Yiling couldn't accept this fact either. She was depressed for a long time, until later they went to the mountains to relax and stayed overnight in a Taoist temple. The Taoist priest inside asked them if they were out for a honeymoon and that was why they didn't bring their daughter.
It was then that the two men realized something and quickly went to a Taoist priest to tell their fortune. The priest found out that their daughter was destined to be rich and live a long life with prosperity and success in everything. So how could she die before she was born?
Unless the dead baby was not theirs and the nurse switched the babies.
After returning from the Taoist temple, Su Yiling tried every possible way to find the nurse again, using threats and deception, using every possible means. Only then did the nurse confess that there were three baby girls born at the same time within a few seconds of each other in the hospital that day.
One is Su Yun, one is Su Yun, and one is a dead baby. The dead baby was not even dead at the beginning. She also came into the world safely, but she was not the fate that the Su family wanted. In order to exchange Su Yun from Ji Weitang, the Su family had someone strangle the unlucky baby girl and replaced her in Ji Weitang's operating room.
In this way, the fate of the three dead babies was all disrupted, and two lives were used to save Su Yun's life.
After Su Yiling found out, he wanted to exchange his daughter back, but they couldn't contact the Su family at all. They were not from the same class as them. If they wanted to get their daughter back, they should at least be able to talk to the Su family, right?
So Ji Weitang and Su Yiling decided that they should work hard to climb up the social ladder while giving their daughter a life that is no less than that of the Su family. This way, even if their daughter is abandoned by the Su family in the future, her living standard will not decline.
What Su Yiling and Ji Weitang didn't expect was that while they were desperately trying to figure out how to get their daughter back, they didn't expect that Su Yun found out the truth as soon as she turned 20, and ran away. She also worked hard to go to school, and didn't seem to worry about anything, and lived a happy life.
Su Yiling and Ji Weitang had planned to find a good day to go recognize their relatives, but they were very nervous about the process, worried that if they showed up suddenly they would be beaten away by Su Yun. After all, what happened at the Su family, how could Su Yun dare to trust strangers?
This hesitation lasted until Su Yun graduated from university. She had some spare money and was ready to post a missing person notice to look for her parents.
On the other side, Su Yun was preparing to find his biological parents, while on this side, Su Yiling and Ji Weitang were preparing how to appear in a way that would make Su Yun accept them. When both sides were looking forward to the future, Su Yun disappeared.
Neither Su Yun nor Su Yiling and his wife knew what happened during the time she was missing. The former had died once and had forgotten about it, and the latter had already died when they found Su Yun. They used special means to bring Su Yun back to life.
After waking up for a while, Su Yiling and Ji Weitang asked Su Yun what had happened so that they could avenge her. However, Su Yun didn't remember anything, and the revenge was put on hold.
After Su Yun came back to life, she felt that her life was pretty good. She had no intention of finding a murderer or causing trouble for the Su family. Anyway, her biological parents had earned enough wealth for her to last for several lifetimes, so what was wrong with her lying down?
Who would have thought that clues would appear just three months after she inherited the funeral home. It seemed as if she was destined to remember what had happened during the time she disappeared.
When her thoughts returned, Su Yun had already painted two clusters of small flowers on the rice paper. The one on the left was in the attic where Aunt Wu died, and the one on the right was what she saw on the ground in her memory.
If you don't say it, the two clusters of flowers look no different, as if they were twin flowers growing on the same root system.
Su Yun put down his brush, picked up the rice paper, blew on it twice, and handed it to Lin Lang: "Here, take it."
Lin Lang took it and observed it for a while. He found that it was consistent with his memory, so he planned to put it in his pocket. Then he heard Su Yun ask faintly, "What are you doing?"
"...Put it away, what's wrong?" Lin Lang looked confused and didn't dare to move.
"Of the two clusters of flowers above, the one on the right is yours. Remember to cut the one on the left and give it to your uncle and aunt." Su Yun walked around the table and patted Lin Lang on the shoulder. "Cut it neatly, don't let your uncle and aunt find out that this is half-ripped rice paper."
Looking at the small piece of rice paper in his hand, Lin Lang spoke with difficulty: "Director, what if I can't cut it cleanly and get discovered?"
Su Yun looked him up and down, and said confidently: "How can a man say that he is not good enough? If you were caught, wouldn't you say that the paper is this big? What's wrong with the treasure being smaller?"
