Chapter 1 Corpse Sales
Lin Shou opened his eyes and served three incense sticks with his hands.
It was raining outside the door and the room was wet, cold and dark, and a body with its body separated from the head collapsed.
Where is this...
Chaotic memories poured into my mind, and Lin Shou quickly realized from his memory that he had traveled through time.
It is now the Great Jing Dynasty, the 59th year of Emperor Gan.
The court was corrupt, famine, plague, natural disasters and man-made disasters, people were living in poverty, they saw nothing when they went out, and white bones covered the plains.
This is different from the peaceful earth where he once lived.
Chaos, turmoil, people die, ghosts live, and demons are rampant.
He is now in a corpse-sewn shop on the street of the Caishikou Execution Stadium in Dajingjing, where he is a corpse-sewn shop for the dead.
What is a corpse sewing man?
The old saying goes, after a person dies, he will return to his roots and be buried in the soil. He pays attention to the death of a dead body. If he is buried with his arms and legs, he will commit a big taboo and will bring about evil disasters.
In order to bury the dead souls, there is a career in sewing corpses. There are also local corpses called burial workers, sewing ghost craftsmen, and second cobblers.
The same businesses as those of sewing corpses, executors, paper-cutters, coroners, and snatching houses are all business of the Liaoyinmen.
If you deal with dead people every day, there are not many people who dare to do it, and not many people who can do it.
It is best to do this business, and you have some disabilities. At least you will have to be widowed, widowed, orphans and orphans. You have killed a few relatives. You have to get a few of your five disadvantages and three disadvantages. Otherwise, your life will not be bad enough and you will easily get into trouble if you make money from the Yinmen.
Lin Shou's former life grew up among refugees. When he was a child, he almost threw the hungry people into the pot to make hot pot. He didn't know his parents in troubled times. In addition, he was mentally disabled and had his own life, so he did this job.
In a turbulent and chaotic era, there is a way to make a living. It is better to make a living than to starve to death.
"This world is too chaotic."
After Lin Shou sorted out his memories, he felt very uncomfortable. The difference between the peaceful and prosperous years in his previous life and the storm is too big.
Especially, this world is not just a chaotic one, but also seems to be all kinds of paradoxical monsters, monsters and cholera...
There are twenty-four corpse-sewing shops near Caishikou, Beijing. Every year, old faces suddenly disappear and change into strangers.
So far, Lin Shou has never seen a corpse-sewn man who has retired safely, disappears, dies suddenly, is infected, is ominous, is crazy, and ends up in a very underworld.
As I happened to be thinking about it, the sound of bird beak pecking at the door in the night outside the door, and the shrill obituary was mixed in the drizzle:
"The corpse sewing shop of No. 20 is vacant! The corpse sewing shop of No. 20 is vacant!..."
Lin Shou's heart skipped a beat, and another one was gone.
If possible, he really wanted to change his business. After all, he is not Lin Shou, who was originally mentally disabled. What kind of business is there for a shop in the downtown area? Even if it is sold, it is better than taking the risk of taking advantage of his life to get the ghost.
However, the twenty-four corpse sewing shops in the entrance of Caishi City, Beijing were not opened by their corpse sewing shops themselves. One of them has the power to open a shop in the downtown area with five disadvantages and three disadvantages.
These twenty-four corpse sewing shops are corpse disposal departments specially established by the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Hospital.
These corpse-sewing people are just workers hired to take care of food and accommodation.
Lin Shou said he wouldn't do it today, and he would have to fallen into the streets and sleep on the sky and be buried on the ground tomorrow. He would not be able to stay in the capital without any roads and would be thrown into a refugee camp outside the city.
Therefore, before finding other ways to make a living, the work of sewing the corpse must continue.
...
Lin Shou looked at the three incense sticks he had just offered, and they had burned them all steadily, and then he looked down at the corpse.
The corpse is an adult male corpse with a body and head separated and a large incision on his neck, clean and neat.
In the morning, the Caishikou execution ground was beheaded and the death row prisoners were killed in the autumn, one after another, just like the leeks.
After chopping off his head, the relatives at home claimed the bodies with tears and sent them to the corpse shop around Caishikou.
What Lin Shou wants to do is sew it well.
Tie the needle and lead the human skin, stitch it with powder at the joints, combed the hair and eyebrows, and put on a mourning jacket.
The body was buried overnight, and the body that was originally beheaded and two pieces were restored as before, lying on the cold collapse.
Lin Shou put down the needle and thread in his hand and breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that the sewing of the corpse was very smooth and there was no trouble.
I didn't want to suddenly feel confused.
The fog slowly spread in front of me, and the tombs and tombs with mountains and mountains in the fog were floating, the tombs and monuments were like peaks, and the treasures of wealth and paper were like nine rivers.
A mottled inscription and picture album is enshrined in Yinshan and Mingchuan, with three strange characters engraved on the cover:
Selling corpse records.
