Wang Fugui is now in his late twenties. His half-white hair is wrapped in gray cloth, and his face is full of wrinkles and weather. After his wife died early, he left behind a son. He was alone and raised the child by pooping and peeing. It wasn't until his son, Wang Eryun, got married and had children, that he embraced his grandson, and lived a good life for several years.
But there were unpredictable circumstances, and it was also his ill-fated fate. Five years ago, his son Wang Eryun took his daughter-in-law back to her parents' home. They encountered a horse thief and the couple died. The white-haired man sent the black-haired man to him, and he suffered a lot of blows.
Fortunately, the little grandson, who was just over one year old, was ill and could not be taken to his parents' home. Wang Fugui took care of him at home, so he survived. Wang Fugui, who is over fifty years old, has once again taken on the important task of raising his grandson.
Wang Fugui sat motionless behind the long table at the door of the morgue. There were some papers and ink pens on the long table.
When he was young, his family was wealthy, he went to school and passed the Tongsheng examination. However, there was a drastic change in the family. His father was a gambler and lost all the property and house left by his ancestors. In the end, he borrowed a loan shark and tried to make a profit, but in the end he lost everything. He was too embarrassed to see his family commit suicide in the river.
After hearing the bad news, the old lady at home went with his father as soon as she couldn't afford it. The only remaining old house in the family was also taken away by loan sharks. At that time, Wang Fugui was young and full of ambition. He studied hard and wanted to obtain fame. Suffering such a big blow, I became disheartened. Forced by life, with the help of an old master from the school, he found a job in the county government and has been working there until now.
The stench of corpses in the morgue was nauseating, but Wang Fugui stood at the door and remained unmoved. After decades of staying in the morgue day and night, his nose had long been damaged by fumes, and he could no longer smell any smell or smell.
At this time, Wang Fugui felt a little anxious. Several new corpses were moved into the morgue in the morning, and they had not yet been affixed with talismans. The talismans of the other dozen corpses have not been replaced for more than ten days. With many years of experience, he knew that those old talismans were of no use anymore and he had to put new ones on them.
Wang Fugui sat here and waited at dawn, waiting for Master Tianshi to arrive or pass by, but Master Tianshi never showed up, thinking that he would go and look for him again.
Master Shen Tian often didn't see anyone for several days. Every time, Wang Fugui went to find him by himself, and when he found him, he would give him a severe scolding. After he begged in every possible way, he came to the morgue to draw new talismans and affix them to the corpses in the morgue.
Wang Fugui didn't want to see Master Shen Tian at all, but he had to go look for him. You must know that the talisman attached to the dead body will lose its effectiveness over time, and that is no joke.
As long as one of these corpses transforms into a corpse, the others will soon follow suit. This transformed zombie knows no pain and is very difficult to deal with. Over the years that Wang Fugui has been working in Yizhuang, there have been several corpse transformations in Yizhuang, and many people died each time. Because of this, Wang Fugui was so anxious.
Wang Fugui decided that if Shen Tianshi didn't come after another hour, he would go find him. Master Shen Tianshi stayed in the small snow building every day, and it was easy to find people there. But I remembered that what Tianshi Shen said yesterday seemed to mean that if he had any trouble in the future, he would go find the new young Tianshi, which would be difficult to handle. Why! Wang Fugui became more and more annoyed the more he thought about it.
Liu Yu walked into the thatched house and saw a white-haired old government servant sitting next to the door. He was frowning and thinking about something, and he didn't even notice a living person coming in.
A strong smell of corpses assaulted his nostrils, and Liu Yu had to cover her nose with her left hand, which could not alleviate the strong smell. Liu Yu looked into the room and saw dozens of worn-out mortuary boards placed closely together in the room. There were probably more than twenty mortuary boards with corpses on them. There was only one window in the house, and it was firmly closed at this time.
The air in the house is blocked, no wonder it smells so bad. The room was very dark, and if you wanted to see clearly what was going on inside, the only way was to walk inside.
"Old man!" Liu Yu knocked on the wooden table with her hand.
"Ah!" Wang Fugui was thinking about how to find the new Celestial Master when he was suddenly awakened.
"Master Tianshi, you are here." When he saw the appearance of the person who came, it was not Liu Tianshi whom he had met yesterday. Wang Fugui stood up in surprise and joy and said quickly.
"What do you call the old man?" Liu Yu asked casually.
"Old man, my surname is Wang, my name is Fugui. You can just call me Team Leader Wang." Wang Fugui replied immediately.
"Oh! Leader Wang, I am the newly appointed Heavenly Master, Liu Yu. If anything happens in the future, you can come to me in the small courtyard not far away. I heard from my senior brother that you are the person in charge of Yizhuang?" Liu Yu smiled. asked.
"Sir, I am responsible for some of the trivial matters in this village. If there are any important matters, they must be reported to County Magistrate Lin for Master Lin to make a decision." Wang Fugui replied respectfully, and then said: "Sir, early in the morning, the county magistrate Agent Zhang found several corpses of Jianghu people in the alley at the end of the street. They have been brought back, but they have not been affixed with talismans. Do you think they are dead?"
"Go inside and take a look first. I'll cast spells and draw talismans later." Liu Yu said to Wang Fugui, who looked nervous.
"Sir, please come this way. Be careful. This is a bit dirty. I will ask someone to put it in place later." Wang Fugui respectfully led Liu Yu inside.
Wang Fugui felt relieved a little. Judging from the interaction just now, the new Liu Tianshi was still easy to talk to. His behavior is gentle and elegant, unlike Shen Tianshi who is arrogant and domineering.
Liu Yuyungong held his breath and followed Wang Fugui to look around the room carefully. Not only was the light inside the house poor, it was also very stuffy. Most of the corpses were naked and rotting. Some of the corpses were rotting and oozing pus, and white maggots were moving in and out of the rotting areas, which looked very disgusting.
"Where did these corpses come from and who are they?" Liu Yu looked carefully and returned to the door, frowning and asked.
"Sir, this Yizhuang is still a county government office. The corpses inside are roughly divided into three categories. The most common category is the deceased involved in the case, such as those murdered by gangsters and those murdered by strongmen. There are also those who were involved in a fight between the two parties. Most of the dead are people from the martial arts world. These dead must be carried to Yizhuang so that the case can be solved as soon as possible."
Seeing that Liu Yu was listening carefully, Wang Fugui added: "The second category is unclaimed people. Most of the dead in this category are homeless people, beggars, etc. Those who died in the wilderness or on the streets mostly died of illness. Even if they starve to death, they will be carried to Yizhuang after death, but no one will claim them for a long time."
"There is also a category of people who have been invaded by yin energy and died of illness. These people also have to be carried to Yizhuang. Because people who die of yin energy are more likely to transform into corpses than ordinary people. It is inconvenient for relatives to open a mourning hall for burial. Afraid of accidents and more trouble." After saying this in one breath, Wang Fugui saw that Liu Yu was still standing and quickly invited him to take a seat.
