Chapter 5 Mortuary Vigil
The boss died peacefully and was not scary at all.
Wu Guobin covered his body with white cloth and pushed it to the morgue.
In that era, because funeral homes were not popular, morgues were standard for hospitals and were essential for every Grade A hospital.
To be honest, although the morgue is convenient for family members, it is really too disturbing to the public.
Sister Yuan’s hotel is next to the hospital. People often cry and shout in the middle of the night, which seriously affects their lives.
During the funeral, they also walked from the morgue. Many families of the deceased broke basins and carried banners on the streets and cried. And such things happened almost every day.
Sister Yuan told me that women cannot go to the morgue, so this matter can only be left to me. But if something goes wrong, I must protect myself first. If something goes wrong, I will run away immediately. www.bǐqυgetν.℃ǒm
These days, Sister Yuan has become much haggard. I looked at her with some distress, said nothing, and went to the morgue with my things.
Because it was the second half of the night, the hospital was very quiet, and there was no one in the morgue except Wu Guobin.
This is the first time I have entered the morgue when I grow up. Looking at the freezers in the room and thinking that there is a dead person lying in each freezer, I feel uncomfortable all over.
The boss was lying on a stretcher bed, covered with white cloth, covering his head and face.
This place is very suitable, just what Hu Ma said, "The sky is not visible above and the earth is not down-to-earth."
According to the procedure, I should seal the boss's orifices first, but after working hard for a long time, my hands still trembled a little.
After all, I was still a living person yesterday, but now I have become a corpse and lying in the cold morgue, which makes me really unacceptable.
And looking at the boss's body, I remembered my uncle who was beaten to death. I wonder if he would be like this at that time. He lay alone in the morgue, never drinking again, and never bullying his aunt again?
I was very regretful for a moment. After all, he was the pillar of my aunt's family. When he died, what should I do with my aunt's life?
Seeing that I was uneasy, Wu Guobin didn't say much, but just glanced at me coldly, took the cotton from my hand, and quickly sealed the boss's seven orifices.
Generally speaking, the seven orifices refer to the ears, eyes, nose, and mouth.
The ancients believed that there was still a stream of energy in a person's body after death. As long as this stream of energy was not released, the body would not corrupt.
The objects of gold and jade can preserve corpses for a long time, so when burials were buried, they would seal the seven orifices and nine orifices for the dead, just to prevent the qi from leaking out.
There is another Taoist saying: if gold and jade are in the nine orifices, the dead will be immortal.
To put it bluntly, the corpse is immortal and the soul remains undispersed.
The so-called nine orifices are the seven orifices plus fertilization holes, and they are all plugged with gold and jade.
Of course, only the powerful and powerful people can use gold and jade. Poor families do not have the conditions, so they will use copper coins instead. The past mentioned money for silence is for this purpose.
But the seven orifices that Hu Ma asked us to seal were slightly different from this one, and replaced our eyes with navel and anus.
After sealing the seven orifices, I took out the talisman and the straw man and burned it on the boss's head.
After doing all this, Wu Guobin let me guard here by myself, and he turned around and left.
My hair was standing up, and I thought to myself that you are not authentic. Sister Yuan gave you money to do things, but you threw myself in the morgue?
Today, Wu Guobin didn't drink alcohol, so he talked very little, he had a calm face, and his whole body was full of vileness. It was very uncomfortable to be with him.
I didn't say much, thinking that it was just one night, so I gritted my teeth and endured it.
But it was really hard to bear this night. I sat on a hard bench, staring at the boss's body, afraid of something unexpected.
Fortunately, it was chilly here, and the freezers around it made the atmosphere very well, making me unable to get stuck even if I wanted to.
By three o'clock, I started to doze off a little, but I didn't dare to close my eyes. It seemed that there was always a villain in my mind that advised me to go to bed quickly.
There is a bed in the corner of the wall, but I know that those things are pushed to death, so I dare not lie down and go to sleep even if I beat them to death.
Later, I leaned against the wall, hugged my shoulders with both hands, closed my eyes and sniffed for a while.
But in this case, I was not sleeping soundly and my mind was confused.
After a while, I felt as if I saw Xiaoyun. She was standing outside the morgue, with her hair loose, her eyes pale, and she looked at me expressionlessly.
Then, the boss's body also sat up and walked towards me staggeringly.
I was frightened and thought to run away quickly, but I couldn't move no matter what I said, and my body seemed to be controlled by something.
Seeing that the boss's body was about to come to me, I even opened my mouth and smiled gloomyly at me, muttering something to me.
I opened my eyes suddenly when I was anxious.
It was quiet around, the boss's body was still lying on the bed, Xiaoyun's ghost was not outside the door, and nothing happened.
Only then did I realize that I was a nightmare, and when I touched my forehead, I felt cold sweat.
But I did hear someone talking in my ears. When I listened carefully, it seemed like I was next door.
In the middle of the night, someone was talking in the morgue. The heart I had just let go of was raised again, so I tiptoed to the next door to see what was going on.
It turned out that it was Wu Guobin, holding a bottle of wine in his hand, sitting on the ground, leaning against a freezer that pretended to be dead.
A freezer next to him was opened, and a gap was drawn out. He sat there, filling his mouth with wine while talking to the corpse inside.
I didn't see the body, I just vaguely saw a strand of hair exposed inside, still with ice chips.
There is no doubt that it should be his wife.
I was scared and sweated in a cold sweat again, thinking that the rumors before seemed to be true.
When I returned to the morgue just now, I was completely sleepy and kept guarding my boss's body until dawn.
Although I was so scared, fortunately nothing happened that night, and there was no situation of gods and ghosts, and I didn't see Xiaoyun's ghost.
It seems that Hu Ma is indeed very powerful. After all, Xiaoyun is not long after death. In Hu Ma's words, there is no way to be good at it, so he should not dare to act rashly.
And I am a little proud, because with the experience of vigil in the morgue, I can brag with others in the future.
The boss's body was parked in the morgue for three days, and Sister Yuan and I were also worried for three days.
As it turns out, Hu Ma's method is very effective. She has been safe and sound for the past three days and has nothing to do.
On the fourth day, under the arrangement of Hu Ma, she performed a ritual of salvation for Xiaoyun, which was considered to resolve this grudge and sent her to death.
Then we burned another talisman, adjusted it into talisman water, and poured it into the boss.
He had been dead for three days, but what was amazing was that his body was always semi-soft. Although his teeth were hard, he pried open it hard, and at least he poured most of the talisman water into it.
With the help of Wu Guobin, we secretly transported the boss back home, covered him with a thick quilt, and took off the cotton that had sealed his orifices.
At this time, I suddenly realized that a few cottons from Feng Qiqiao fell off at some point, and only two were left.
A few hours later, the boss finally woke up.
But his eyes were dazed, and we didn't respond much when we talked to him.
After raising it in bed for two days, I still haven't recovered. I am already stupid and my IQ is like a five or six-year-old child.
Sister Yuan went to ask Hu Ma what was going on. Hu Ma asked the old fairy after burning incense and sighed and said, "This is all God's will, it is the retribution for his own sin."
Normal people have three souls and seven spirits. Hu Ma asked us to seal his seven orifices just to seal his soul. But later the cotton that sealed the seven orifices fell off, causing most of his soul to leave, and he became dumbfounded.
Sister Yuan didn't say anything along the way and cried when she got home.
She told me that she used to be a waiter. Her mother was sick and her family was in difficult conditions and had no money to treat her. It was the boss who paid to help her survive that difficulty.
That's why she followed the boss, and she was always grateful to him, and later she always tolerated her boss's bad habits.
But now that the boss has become like this, who can rely on her in the future?
I felt very uncomfortable and didn't know how to comfort her, so I told her that I would always be with her and help her take care of the boss.
Sister Yuan stopped her tears. I felt that she seemed to want to say something to me, but finally she didn't speak.
Since the boss's accident, many things have changed.
Sister Yuan put most of her thoughts on the boss and no longer played cards with her friends. She basically gave me all the hotel affairs.
