The strongest mortician

In the logistics tent away from the main tent, the day's work of the embalmers began.The battlefield embalmers were originally responsible for cleaning up the battlefield after the war, stitching up the broken limbs of the brave and fearless soldiers who passed away, sorting out the remains, restoring their appearance before they were alive, and sending them off for the last time.

It has been ten days since Shen Shen and his group came to Yicheng. Their job is not so much as an embalmer, but as a handyman. Wherever they need to point, any soldier, including the cook, can send them.

Because of Yicheng, there has been no large-scale war for nearly a hundred years, and there has been no war in the past ten years.As an important strategic fortress from ancient times to the present, this is actually not normal. In the first few years, the high-level officials paid attention to it and sent more troops to patrol it.As time went by, Yicheng still commented on the waves, and the attention was less, and the number of troops sent was less and less year by year.

"Scrap, give me a little quickness." One-eyed waved the whip in his hand, "You, go to boil water for Mr. Liu; you, go to clean the tent for Mr. Ma; you, you, go to the kitchen to cook..." One-eyed Holding the whip, one by one, Xiao Xi and Xiao Tan were assigned to help in the kitchen, and there was a support for the two of them together.

"As for you..." The remaining eye of One Eye harbored malicious intentions, the malice thickened into juice, and it was about to drip from the eye.

Holding a whip, he walked around Shen Shen and said: "I heard that you are the first mortician who voluntarily signed up, then you must like this profession very much, I have a good job here, just right for you , Mr. Liu Jun unfortunately passed away a few days ago, so you can go to his tent and help him bury him."

Shen Shen didn't say anything, he knew that Cyclops would not be so kind, so he carried the mortuary box on his back and followed the leading soldiers out of the tent.Xiao Tan looked anxiously, and explained to his younger brother: "You go to the kitchen and wait for me first." He followed Shen Shen and chased him out. He knew that the soldier surnamed Liu had heard about it when he went to fetch water yesterday when he heard other soldiers gossip. , was a frequent visitor to the Fireworks Land, died of... died of festering viscera.

"Brother Shen!" Xiao Tan caught up with the person in front, turned his head back deeply, without saying a word, looking at Xiao Tan with clear black eyes, there was an inquiry written inside.

Seeing the person stop, the leading soldier asked impatiently, "What are you doing?" Xiao Tan held his arm and winked at the person inconveniently. The two of them were obviously not on the same line of thought, and the boy was crooked. Crooked head:?

Xiao Tan couldn't help it, so he had a good temper and explained to the soldier in front: "Master Jun, I will go with him. He is young and doesn't understand, and he won't be able to clean it up in a while. It's hot, and the body has been left for a long time..." The soldier hated it. He frowned, his tent happened to be close to that of Liu Wu's. "Okay, you two hurry up and clean up for me."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Jun."

The two stood in front of the tent, and a pungent smell of rotting corpses entered their nostrils before the tent was opened. A vacuum zone was formed around the tent, and the soldiers who brought them had already fled away.In deep confusion, he looked down at Xiao Tan who was still clutching his arm, with a pale face. He was already a monk in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and it was easy to shut down his five senses.But Xiao Tan is just an ordinary person.After thinking for a while, Shen Shen said seriously: "You can go back first."

Xiao Tan wanted to gag, his stomach churned violently.He forcibly endured it, glanced at the young man's calm face, gritted his teeth and insisted: "I can do it."

The light in the tent was dim, and a human figure was lying on the ground, covered in pus sores, its face was so rotten that no one could see its face, white worms were running around on the carrion, its legs were twisted, presumably fell from a high place and broke, and there were scattered around it Empty flagon.Xiao Xi's expression changed, and he vomited "Wow".

According to the traditional "whole corpse" approach, they need to correct the broken leg first.

"What should we do now?" Xiao Tan asked hoarsely, holding back the sour water in his stomach.Shen Shen did not speak. In his eyes, the "human figure" that disgusted Xiao Tan was wrapped in black air, entangled with the corpse, as ominous as the darker black that permeated the depths of the desert.

magic.

"Burn it." Shen Shen poured some oil on the corpse, and at the moment of lighting the candle, a small handful of blue flames in the palm of his hand flew towards the corpse on the bed.Xiao Tan didn't even have time to stop it, the human figure ignited a raging fire, the flames strangely did not spread, above the flames, the black aura distorted and wailed, and was devoured by the merciless roasting.

In a few breaths, except for the bed, there were only human-shaped ashes left, the dry thatch and quilt, and even the tent, unscathed.

Xiao Tan didn't know how to speak for a while, the mortician pays attention to the procedure of encoffining, like Shen Shen's method, which is too simple and rude, which is undoubtedly a taboo in the industry.He saw the serious expression on the delicate face of the person next to him, and he was about to speak, what are you talking about, you did something wrong, isn't that how encoffining works?

I don't know if it was his illusion, but the turbid and oppressive air in the tent seemed... to become a little fresher and more natural after the flames were burnt out.

After hesitating, Xiao Tan organized his words and said, "Although this Mr. Liu Jun suffers from... a bad disease, we are morticians, and it is not in compliance with the rules to do things like this hastily." Xiao Tan was actually disappointed, He thought that Shen Shen was different, from seeing his first registration and receiving a crude tool, to entering the back of the tent without changing his expression.Never thought that he would be so irresponsible.

Hearing the words, Shen Shen lifted his chin lightly, his snow-white chin was pointed and his eyes were clear, he looked at Xiao Tan.Calling his name for the first time: "Xiao Tan, what is an embalmer?"

"The mortician, the body of the deceased is complete, and the soul of the deceased is safe." Xiao Tan didn't know why Shen Shen asked. He looked at the young man's delicate face with complicated emotions. It was disappointment, anger, or something he couldn't say clearly. Unexplained discomfort.His answer is the code of conduct that every mortician knows in his profession.

The young man changed the mortuary box to his shoulder at will. From the beginning to the end, his mortuary box was never opened: "Then what kind of person do you think is worthy of the soul returning to peace?"

Xiao Tan frowned, and disapproval was written on his warm face: "We are undertakers, as long as the deceased, as long as there is a need, we should do our best, no matter who he was before he was alive."

"Today there is a devil who beheaded more than a hundred people. The souls of the dead under the sword, regardless of good or evil, regardless of age... At the end of the devil's death, everyone clapped their hands and applauded. If the devil is buried, the souls of the dead will not be at peace; , Wild dogs eat it, vultures peck it, and there will be no peace, Xiao Tan, how do you choose?"

"I..." Xiao Tan wanted to refute, he wanted to speak, but his throat was blocked, and he couldn't utter a word.

Shen Shen didn't wait for him to finish thinking, and continued: "Liu Wu did a lot of evil, torturing poor women in brothels, robbing women from good families, destroying families of bad people, trying to cover up his crimes, and not letting a three-year-old child go..." The young man stood in Xiao Tan In front of them, the two were so close that Xiao Tan could even feel each other's hot and warm breath.

He looked into Xiao Tan's eyes, and said word by word: "A maggot like Liu Wu, I'm deep, I don't bother to enshrine him, it's better to burn him with a fire." Shen Shen's words shocked the world, Xiao Tan's scalp went numb , as his body warmed up, he heard his own heartbeat, loud and chaotic, "Boom...boom...boom..."

His throat was dry, and when he came back to his senses, the boy was no longer in the tent, and he simply and neatly completed the encoffining work.Xiao Tan stood in the dark tent without moving for a long time. He remembered the nights of the past few days, when he woke up in the middle of the night, the bed opposite was empty, and no one noticed that there was one person missing in the tent. Taboo, offenders are severely punished under the military law.

This delicate young man not much older than his younger brother has his own secrets. He is mysterious and beautiful, and his heart is firm and fearless. It was at that moment that Xiao Tan decided to help him keep the secret.

-------------------------------------------------

The sun is setting, the sky is dark, and the sunset glow is fading.Before dinner, Cyclops would check on the progress of the undertakers, and today was no exception.With a whip in his hand, he paced slowly in front of the queue of undertakers, with malicious intent brewing in his only remaining eye.He was very small-minded, and Shen Shen lost his face in front of everyone. Although the other soldiers didn't say anything publicly, they also secretly laughed at him.

How dare a mere mortician be so arrogant.One-eyed secretly hated, glanced under the tree, Yicheng's guards were standing under the tree not far away, chatting and enjoying the shade, their eyes always drifted "inadvertently" towards them, it was full of meaning to watch a good show, he had to take care of this Kid surnamed Shen, take back the face you threw out, otherwise he will not be able to gain a foothold in Yicheng if he is one-eyed.

"Most of the tasks assigned today have been completed on time and according to regulations. I have always been rewarded and punished. As a reward, those who complete the task today can be exempted from tomorrow's work, and those who have not completed it..." Said the single eye When I got here, I paused, with a pitiful and regretful expression.

"This is the first time I've arranged for you professional-related work, and it's also a test for you. You must know that you have no chance to help people to bury people, because our Yicheng is impenetrable, and there is no possibility of war breaking out. Unfortunately, someone put This hard-earned opportunity was screwed up."

He didn't point it out, everyone's eyes coincided with each other, and they all fell on Shen Shen, and he was the only one who was arranged to be buried.

The young man was calm and relaxed, he was not anxious because of the different eyes on his body, he even took care of his temple hair that was blown tousled by the wind when Xiao Tan hurriedly pulled him over to assemble.The more this was the case, the more people could not understand him. Before the one-eyed man could speak, someone came out and acted as a pawn.

"Shen Shen, don't play dumb here, you set fire to Master Liu Jun's body, right?"

"We morticians, the most important thing is the unity of the heaven and the way, and the whole corpse is the first. Before Liu Jun was alive, he asked to be buried in the earth for safety." Zhu San rarely remembered part of the code of conduct for the mortician, and he looked like he saw the truth. In order to be proud, "You entered Liu Junye's tent to finish encoffining, but in just a few breaths, you can never set his bones in such a short period of time, you just set him on fire, I'm right Bar?"

The sound of inhaling one after another, everyone actually vaguely guessed it, but no one said anything, most people had a good impression of the young man who was as delicate as a jade doll.Besides, except for people like Xiao Tan who really love the profession of morticians and have a strong sense of responsibility, many people agree with Shen Shen's approach in their hearts. After all, morticians are just ordinary people. When dealing with corpses with infectious diseases, cremation is to protect themselves Routine operation, of course, is based on the prevention of plague during the outbreak of large-scale battles and... no one knows.

Shen Shen's every move was closely watched by caring people.

One-eyed gave Zhu San an appreciative glance, thinking that next time he could arrange an easy job for this upright kid, and as for the undignified kid, he had to take care of it------

He wants to arrange the dirtiest and messiest work for this tender boy, drain every drop of his use value, and then throw it in the military/technical camp. Those old bachelors who haven't seen a woman in decades will thank him His one-eyed uncle... the thoughts in his one-eyed mind became more and more unbearable.The Yicheng garrison under the tree is not too serious to watch the excitement: "Hey, one-eyed, you are frightened, little beauty." "Haha, yes, yes, our Yicheng army is very manly, and the little beauty wants to help?"

The teasing laughter didn't last too long, a deep chuckle, lips raised, the smile was as bright as the spring in March, and everyone was stunned.He murmured, as if he was speaking to the undertakers present, or as if he was saying to other bystanders who looked down on the undertakers: "Ah, the era of undertakers is coming." Shen Shen looked behind them, where the demon The air is surging, and it has become dense and cloudy.

"Whoosh-"

Something broke through the air, piercing the skull with the toothache sound of bones cracking, and came out from the back of the head through the center of the eyebrows.

The greasy and obscene arc of the corner of his mouth froze on his face, a mixture of red and white flowed into the eye patch of his one eye, and a little confusion was written in his other intact eye.The bulky body softened and collapsed.

The horn, which had been silent for nearly a hundred years, was hurriedly sounded, and the garrison under the tree turned pale and could not react.

"Enemy---enemy attack!"
