When I saw that it was correct, I quickly added: "I can carry corpses. I have done it before, so I have experience!"
He looked at the backpack on my body and asked, "Are you from out of town?"
Seeing me nodding, he just chuckled a few times and then fell into silence.
"Okay, 800 yuan a month, no matter what you eat or not."
These words immediately made my heart sink, and I kept saying, "Director, isn't this price too outrageous?"
"No matter what the price is, it must be 5,000 yuan. You can't even get one-fifth of it!"
"You're absolutely right!"
The fat man patted his thigh and looked at me with a half-smile: "But you have to know what your identity is, right?"
Although I am begging for a job now, these words also made me very uncomfortable, so I asked directly.
"What is my identity?"
He walked out from behind the desk casually. As he walked, he looked at me: "Tall guy, with a Chinese character face, a corpse-carrying worker."
"He's from out of town."
Suddenly, he stood next to me and whispered: "You were the one who lost the body, right? Chen Qi."
He said my name and knew what had happened to me before, which immediately made me tremble.
For me, this is a lifelong stain. As long as I have anything to do with this, I will definitely not be able to find a job.
Seeing that I was silent, the fat man patted me hard on the shoulder: "Who are you going to offend, but Chen Banxian?"
I vaguely sensed that something was wrong, so I smiled and asked, "He's not trivial. Is there anything I can't offend?"
The fat man frowned, then shook his head and clucked his tongue: "Our circle is small, Chen Banxian has already explained your matter to us."
"Eight hundred yuan depends on your experience. Otherwise, who would dare to use a liar?"
I am so angry that the blood is rushing to my forehead, but there is nothing I can do.
Judging from this situation, my story has spread, and Chen Changming wants to completely destroy me.
The money in my pocket is simply not enough for me to go to the next city. If I don't settle down as soon as possible, I will soon be living on the streets.
I comforted myself by saying: A man can bend and stretch!
Thinking of this, I nodded vigorously: "Okay, just eight hundred!"
The fat man sneered a few times, as if he was sure of me, and pointed at the door: "Go out and turn right, go to the personnel department to go through the formalities."
I didn't say anything, and just as I was about to leave, he called me from behind again.
"Do what you have to do and don't stretch your hands too far."
I looked back and saw that although the curator was still smiling, a gloomy look still appeared in his eyes.
Before I could say anything, the door was already closed...
The onboarding process went smoothly and I stayed on the same day.
Although the salary of 800 yuan is pitifully small, fortunately, the funeral home can give me a dormitory, so I can save some money on food, so it is not too difficult.
There was a low bungalow next to the morgue. The blue-gray cement was mottled, and the vermilion wooden window frames had long been peeled off. When I looked up, I saw that even the ridge of the house was slightly tilted.
This is where the corpse-bearers usually rest.
"squeak"
The old wooden door made a tooth-grinding sound, the sun shone in through the glass, and the dust rolled up and down in the sun.
"Who?"
While talking, the person sitting in the corner suddenly raised his head.
I took a closer look and found that this man was about sixty years old, thin and dry, with stubble all over his face.
This is the right number.
The personnel just told me that there is a corpse-carrying worker in this funeral home named Liu Shan.
It's probably the one in front of me.
I took three steps at a time, walked directly to the old man, and took the initiative to shake hands: "Are you Master Liu?"
Liu Shan put down the newspaper on his knees, took off his reading glasses from the bridge of his nose, and looked me up and down: "Who are you?"
"The new corpse-carrying worker, Chen Qi."
Upon hearing this, Liu Shan snorted coldly, picked up the newspaper again, and responded with one word indifferently and perfunctorily.
"oh."
For a moment, I held my hand in the air. The smile made me feel a little stiff on my face, and then I put my hand down nonchalantly.
I was not familiar with this place, but now I have a hot face and a cold butt, which really makes me feel a little uncomfortable.
After a while, I also figured it out.
If I come, that means I have to get a share of the Liu Shan pie.
To put it bluntly, I am trying to steal food from his mouth. Can he look good on me?
That night, just as I was about to go back to the dormitory, there was a sudden noise on the intercom.
"Master Liu, come out and pick me up."
I immediately stopped what I was doing and looked back at Liu Shan. As if he hadn't seen me, he took off a robe from the wall and put it on his body.
I hesitated for a moment and followed immediately.
While on the road, I had already made up my mind. No matter what, I would not snatch this deal.
When you first come here, you must not be too popular, as it will easily attract hatred to yourself.
The funeral parlor's car parked brightly at the gate. Several people yawned and pushed the deceased out of the car.
What surprised me was that the deceased didn't even have a body bag, he was just naked and exposed in the air.
I took a closer look and saw that the deceased was a woman in her forties or fifties, with a plump figure and a livid complexion.
The weirdest thing is that her belly is bulging, as if something is stuffed inside...
