Chapter 54 Chapter Thirteen Human Transformation

His wife screamed, picked up the pillow and beat the rats that were snatching food.The rats swarmed away.His wife lit the lamp to see that her husband's rotten ear had been bitten clean. The laborer woke up the next day to the smell of dead rats in the house.When I scratched my ears, I felt that my ears were gone, and I thought I was dreaming.His wife bought him a dog fur hat to cover his ears when he went out.But that's good, he doesn't have to worry about turning into a zombie. After I went to college, I saw the laborer at a banquet again. He no longer wore a dog fur hat, and a white ear grew where it was missing, which did not match his dark face.My mother told me that he had rubber ears attached there.I am relieved.

The zombie was eventually returned to the coffin, but not buried in place. Chen Shaojin strongly demanded that the coffin and the zombie be moved to his home and placed in the back room.The dead baby girl was still placed back in the arms of the zombie. Lime and charcoal are then sprinkled around the body to keep the lime away from moisture and the charcoal to deodorize.The coffin was repainted three times and placed on two long wooden benches.Two bricks are placed under the wooden stool. In this area, many elderly people are in their sixties and start worrying about their coffins when they are still in good health. They must make the coffins well, brush 18 layers of tung oil, paint black paint three times, and then tap out "" on it with your fingers. The crisp sound of "Boom" made me smile with satisfaction.My grandma is a typical example.I'm sorry, I was busy telling the story earlier, and I kept forgetting to say that my grandpa's stepmother is still alive.Grandpa Ma Xintong used to have a wife, but died shortly after giving birth to grandpa, so grandpa married a lady from a rich family who was more than 20 years younger than him.So my grandpa has been dead for many years, but my grandma is still healthy and healthy.

When grandma could still run and dance, she followed grandpa every day to set up the coffin.Grandpa said impatiently: "Aren't you well now? You don't feel any pain at all, so you just worry about what the coffin does." Grandma said: "I take off my shoes to sleep today, and I don't know if I can put them on tomorrow. If I don't prepare my coffin, I won't dare to sleep deeply at night. I'm afraid that if I fall asleep, there will be no coffin to bury me." I'm always uneasy." Grandpa had no choice but to measure her height and go to the coffin maker to order a coffin.A coffin maker is equivalent to a carpenter, except that he cannot make other furniture like a carpenter, because people are worried that the bad luck in his hands will be brought home.

Since grandma moved the coffin to her room, I never dared to go to her room alone.Because I am always suspicious, suspecting that someone is already lying there in the coffin.And grandma's face was full of joy, she was not sad because she saw her death was approaching, but she was very excited because she had a place to lie down after death.When I got up in the morning, I would knock on the coffin with my fingers a few times, making an uncomfortable "dong dong" sound. At night, she would also knock on the coffin before going to bed, which made me often have nightmares. I don't know if Chen Shaojin will be scared when he looks at the coffin with the real corpse inside.With a corpse at home, would he feel like he was living back in his original grave?I don't know these.However, since the coffin was moved into his home, his living habits have changed.

First of all, he fell in love with drinking, especially Nurhong, and he would get drunk every time he drank.But he didn't have much money, and soon he could only drink poor-quality liquor.His child suffered with him. Second, he seldom comes out on sunny days, and finally does not come out when there is almost no sun.As a result, his skin became very white, like that of a baby, not that of a grown man.The eyes have also become extremely fragile and sensitive, and many tears will gush out when the light is strong. Third, because of the previous two changes, people seldom visit his house, and he almost never goes to other people's houses.He became withdrawn and lonely, almost cut off from the world outside his home.

When people in the village pass by his house, they feel sympathy as they pass by a grave.
