The Book of Ghouls

Son, today is the 15th of July, the day when the ghost gate opens, you go home early from work, don't walk at night," "Mother, I'll try to get off work early, you rest early!" "Uh-huh!" Hearing the beeping sound coming from the other end of the phone, Qi Hai just put the phone down, turned around and walked towards the morgue, today he received a report from the county The leader's notice that the unclaimed bodies must be disposed of. Old Ma Tou was away again, and with only him and Fatty Tang, there was no telling when they would be busy. "Ugh!" Qi Hai sighed, resignedly took out the register in the drawer, looked carefully, and found that there were seven unclaimed corpses, plus the female in cabinet number seven The corpses, eight in all, don't seem to want to get off work early. "Brother Hai!" "What the hell is wrong with the county? It has to let us work overtime on July 15th, originally our unit is a bit evil, but also to burn corpses on the Ghost Festival, it's f*****g sick!" Looking at Fatty Tang cursing and grinning, Qi Hai took out two cigarettes and lit them up. Handing him one, "Alright, finish smoking and hurry to work!" Fatty Tang took the cigarette and smoked it, while smoking it, he surveyed the No. 7 freezer, his eyes were filled with panic, "Brother Hai, even Old Ma Tou couldn't burn the corpse, can we both do it? I haven't even done it yet, my legs and stomach are starting to turn." "Try it!" Qi Hai was also panicked in his heart, according to Old Horse head said, this female corpse can not be burned at all, and it will also make a scream, so it has been locked in the seventh freezer. The two men started working after smoking, tacitly not moving the number seven freezer, thinking that they would first finish these seven corpses and then try to see if they could cremate the female corpse. "Fatty Tang, the hospital called and said that your old lady's leg was broken, asking you to go to the hospital quickly." Hearing Lao Luo's shouts from outside the door, Fatty Tang's overalls were not changed and ran out, shouting as he ran, "Brother Hai, don't move that female corpse yourself, tomorrow you will talk to Factory Director Liu and say that you can't burn it, don't you dare make a fool of yourself, this female corpse is pregnant with a child to death, it was already a murderous thing, and it's the fifteenth day of the seventh month today." "You go quickly, if there is anything you need help with, just call and let me know." "Uh-huh!" Seeing that Fatty Tang had already run out of the cremation room, Qi Hai got busy, putting the ashes of the seven corpses into the urns, and writing the numbers and names on them respectively, before taking a seat on the stool, pulling out a cigarette and lighting it up, looking at the number seven freezer with some hesitation. Liu factory director said today not to deal with the body clean deducted a month bonus, has been asleep for three years sister is still waiting for the medical expenses! I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that! Thinking of sixty-year-old mother still often go out to see things to earn money for his sister to put together medical expenses, Qi Hai heart a sour, the cigarette hard to throw to the ground with the foot stamped out, and stood up, clenched his teeth, to the number seven freezer walked over. Trembling hand took out the key to open the freezer, a cold breath to the face, Qi Hai forced to not turn to escape, carefully dragged the body Come out and put it on the cremation bed, "The two of us have no grievances, don't scare me, it's hard to freeze in the cabinet all year round, you'd better go into the ground!" "Splat!" Qi Hai heard something fell to the ground, stooped down to pick up a look, but it is a gold and ruby ring, can wear such jewelry, I think the woman's family conditions are good, why thirty years no one claimed the body! "This big sister, gold can't be burned, I'll put the ring in your urn later, you ............!" "Bzzz!" "Bzzzzz!" Not waiting for Qi Hai to finish his words, the light bulb on the roof of the shed made a strange sound and flickered, could it be a problem with the wiring. "Zzzzzzzzz "Hoo hoo ............!" Just when Qi Hai wanted to go out and call the electrician on duty to check the line, the door of the cremation room was blown open by the wind, Qi Hai's body instantly sprouted quite a lot of goosebumps, this thick and heavy big iron door, he himself usually pushed it open with great effort, how could it be blown open by the wind this evening. Outside the door is the closed corridor, he remembers very clearly, the door at the end of the corridor has been locked, how could there be such a big of the wind. "Hula!" Hearing a sound behind him, Qi Hai's whole body immediately stiffened, took half a day's effort to turn around and look towards the female corpse, this glance almost scared him to death, the white cloth on the female corpse even fell to the ground, only to see that her whole face was greenish-gray, and the corners of her eyes were still dripping blood beads outwards. After six years of working as a cremator, Qi Hai knew Road some corpses a frozen one will be bleeding from the seven orifices, and did not think about the haunted thing, maybe just Fatty Tang went out and did not close the door, so there is the wind blowing in. Qi Hai smoked two cigarettes to calm down, from the pocket of his clothes to pull out a triangle of yellow amulets to wear around the neck, which is his mother specially let him bring to the unit, said that meet evil things must be worn, in case of dirty things hooked soul. "Clang!" Saw the iron hook of the corpse from the cremation bed fell down, Qi Hai suddenly a little bit of cold all over the body, tonight's strange things too much, that iron hook at least five pounds, why for no reason will fall from the iron bed. Qi Hai know may be this female corpse in the demon, afraid at the same time, the fire also topped the head, "What are you haunted? It's not like I killed you, whoever did it to you, our whole family is counting on me! The paycheck to live on!" You don't want to mess up my job, my sister's medical bills cost sixty dollars a month, and there's still my old mother to feed." Qi Hai nagged enough before pushing the female corpse into the cremation furnace. "Pfft .........!" Just as he tried to turn the cremator off, the female corpse's eyes began to spew blood out, scaring Qi Hai so much that he sat on his butt on the ground, dumbstruck The watched as the blood trickled down to the ground, slowly turning into a few large, bloody letters. Save my child! Qi Hai looked at these words, immediately saw sweat on the door of the brain, hands and feet began to soften, struggling to climb out of the cremation room can not do, wide-eyed dead eyes staring at the female corpse, for fear that she climbed up to bite himself a few mouths. Just when Qi Hai was about to cry in fear Waiting to see the female body's stomach bulging a piece, look at the shape is like a baby's feet, is the child in her stomach did not die? Saving a life is better than building a seven-floor pagoda, this is the mother often hung on the lips of the words, Qi Hai holding the stool slowly stood up, shaking legs to the side of the female corpse, reached out to touch her bulging stomach, and found that the baby inside is indeed moving. Qihai put his hand under the corpse's nose Face, found a little breathing are not, the heart can not help but strange up, this woman's body is frozen in the freezer for thirty years, why the baby did not die? Qi Hai pulled the body from the crematorium out, waiting for half a day did not see her child born out, some panic in the heart, I have not heard of the dead will give birth to a child ah! If she doesn't give birth to the baby now, when the old horse head comes back, he will definitely throw her into the crematorium, even if she can't burn it. cremated, and the child in the belly would be roasted. Qi Hai thought for half a day, but could not think of any good ideas, finally gritted his teeth, took out an empty urn, grabbed ashes from the urns of the seven people who were cremated earlier, quickly filled the urn, wrote the number of the female corpse, before sitting on his butt on the stool.
