1. Work
As early as a long time ago, I heard that in the city, jobs like the “corpse carpenter” are highly paid. It is undoubtedly a very attractive job for young people who are not college graduates. But at that time my mother always curled her lips: “Let’s not go, our family doesn’t lack the money, and we don’t ask for the bad luck.”
Of course, this is all something else.
The previous story is that my dad is sick and needs a lot of medical expenses. My family used to be not rich and expensive, but it was reasonable. The mother who once said “Our family does not lack that money” has nothing to do. The family is already stretched. If I don’t find a higher-paying job, Dad will have to lie in the hospital bed and wait for death.
Fortunately, we have a distant relative who promised to help me find a job in the hospital, so that I can have a little more income and make it easier for me to take care of my father in the hospital. Of course, it will not be doctors and nurses. The job is very simple. At that time, the hospital morgue had not been cancelled. My job was to move the body to the freezer after the death of a patient in the hospital and stay in the morgue all night. , And then counted the number of dead bodies when people came to the crematorium the next morning, and put them on the truck.
When I first knew the nature of my job, I was a little excited and a little looking forward to it. My relatives took me to see someone who will become my master in the future. He is already working in the morgue. An old man of twenty years.
But he is not as kind as a normal master. It seems that we interrupted his rest. He just glanced at me: “Put things over there. This is your bed. It’s the key.” After I explained it, he ignored me.
I look around. We live in the outer room of the morgue. To put it better, it is called the duty room. The wall of the duty room is hung with a very common LCD monitor. What is showing is the surveillance in the four corners of the morgue. There is a TV on the table and an old-fashioned computer.

The salary is also considerable, and it provides food and housing. I think this is also very good. At night, Master seemed to have something to go out. It was rare to look at me before leaving. He said solemnly and seriously: “No matter how many corpses come in, the third compartment on the first floor of the freezer must never be opened. , Absolutely must not put the corpse, remember it?”
2. Advice
He did not leave until I was sure I remembered it. It was getting darker and darker, and I always felt cold, and fear came to my heart bit by bit. Unexpectedly, the old man on duty at the entrance of the building was probably boring. He ran here and looked around: “Where is your master?”
“Go out.”
< br/>
“Oh, I’m going out, I’ll chat with you when he is awayHey, when I’m bored, I always talk to him. Don’t look at that old man on the surface, but he’s in a good heart. I don’t think he is very enthusiastic about you. Don’t blame him, he is the master, and Just staying in this ghost place for a long time, it is inevitable that I can’t talk to the people around me. “
“Master, does my master have no family? I don’t think he likes this place.” “
“That’s right.” The uncle shrank his head and took out a bottle of wine from his pocket. I showed him the side dishes that I didn’t finish at night. I don’t drink. , Just listen to him eating and drinking while saying, “Who wants to stay in this kind of place, don’t say bad luck, he is also afraid of you saying if it’s right, I’ll tell you, before you, there are a lot of people here, but None of them did a long job, and they all left in the end, so you come and go, and you are the master. “

Feelings. This is the disciple of the iron-fighting master and flowing water. I thought to myself. “Then, why doesn’t my master leave?” “
The old man waved his hand: “Your master doesn’t have a home, you don’t know. He had a daughter before, just…that’s…”
He suddenly stopped talking halfway through. I turned my back to the door, followed his eyes and looked back, and found that the master was standing at the door without knowing when, with a sullen face.
“Master, Master…”
He didn’t look at me: “Tell the kid everything, don’t be afraid to scare him, if this apprentice is scared away, come here Stay with me? “
The old man probably also knew that he had said the wrong thing: “Yes, yes, my fault, my fault, I will not say it, you guys eat slowly, there is still something in my duty room , I won’t stay. “Said and smiled and left.
The morgue fell silent, the lights in the corridor were not very bright for years, and the freezer on the wall monitor was cold and vague. People don’t dare to look closely. I don’t know if Master will reprimand me or ignore me coldly, but undoubtedly, both of these consequences will make me uncomfortable. I didn’t expect Master to sit on the edge of the bed: “It’s okay, that old man Just like to scare people, don’t listen to what you say. But I can say ugly things first,” he suddenly scowled again, “it is true that many people came and left after a short stay, and one—you can’t say it—is said to be too stressful for staying for a long time. I have a big hallucination-I scared myself to death. You must know this, because you have the right to choose whether you want to go on or leave. “
I smiled bitterly: “Master, you see my dad is lying on that hospital bed. Others may still have the right to choose, but I definitely don’t have it. “
“You are filial, I am very happy with you, so I tell you, they all rumored that this place is haunted, but I have lived here for a long time, but I don’t think it’s a big deal. I just fell asleep. Know nothingSay it, so you have to sleep well, why are you afraid of me? ”
