Electric Phantom [Entertainment]

After Caijuan left and before Tiantian came, all the formalities had to be done by Xiaoyuan himself, and no one could help her.

She was in the morgue, holding the death certificate in her hand, when she suddenly heard sad cries. She heard the sound and looked around, and saw two young people, a man and a woman, also crying along with the hospital bed, crying uncontrollably, "Mom, mom..."

Followed by an older man with slower steps, he watched the bed step by step into the mortuary with a mournful face, sighed, and turned to the business window to register.

Those who do these things have no time to grieve.

Xiaoyuan suddenly understood that because he couldn't fall down, he didn't have time to grieve, and someone had to do these procedures.

After the morgue is registered, it will serve with the funeral home. Here, the family members will be called to discuss, schedule the pick-up time, fill in the form, and inform the corpse of the name, address, age, gender, cause and time of death, the location of the corpse, and the location of the deceased’s household registration. Family name, address, telephone number, relationship with the deceased, whether to take off clothes, whether to put on makeup, whether to hold memorial and farewell ceremonies, etc.

It took a long time to fill in the small garden, and there were a lot of things that couldn't be written or stuck in the middle.The registration staff let her rest with a blank expression before letting others in.

She went out to take a rest, and went to the nursing home in the middle to collect some things from her mother.

At two o'clock in the morning, she was sitting in the back seat of the taxi with her things in her hands, looking out of the window at the bright neon lights as if she had lost her soul.

I went back to the hospital, filled out the form, and handed it in. After a while, I went to confirm it, and stamped it after confirming it was correct.

Then go to the hospital for discharge procedures.

After finishing, wait for the funeral home to make arrangements and notify her.There was a call from the other side first, saying that their night shift was full and they would not be able to come until the morning, Xiaoyuan agreed.

Birth, old age, sickness and death may really be a common thing.

I can't tell what I feel in my heart, it should be so, but I also feel that there is an impermanent sadness.

In fact, she could go back to rest. Instead of leaving, she sat down in the corridor not far from the morgue.

She was the only one left outside again. After sitting for a while, she remembered her mobile phone and hurriedly took it out. There was still a little battery left.She rubbed her heavy and sore eyes, thinking about getting a charger, but before she could stand up, her eyelids were tired and stuck together.

She didn't know how long she had been asleep, but when her phone vibrated, she woke up immediately.

"Sister Xiaoyuan!" It was Tiantian's voice.

She sat beside her, and when she saw her wake up, she handed over the thermos and unscrewed it for her.

Xiaoyuan replied blankly, and only when he opened his mouth did he realize that his throat was dry and hoarse, "Thank you."

He took the water bottle and took a big sip. It was warm milk tea, which Tiantian brewed by himself, it was fragrant and delicious.She regained some temperature and consciousness, slightly raised her lips, "When did you arrive?"

"I've been here for a while," Tiantian said in a low voice. When she came, Xiaoyuan was curled up and sleeping, and couldn't bear to wake her up.

"Thank you for your hard work, I was going to let you have a good vacation..."

It was already the last flight when Caijuan rushed back, and these few days are Tiantian's vacation, Tiantian is a very diligent girl, except for a few days of annual leave, she does not rest on other vacations, this time Ruan Qing insisted On her vacation, she was asked to go find her friends. After receiving a call from Ruan Qing, she asked her friend to drive her here. Fortunately, it was not too far from Pengcheng.

"Sister, don't say that." Tiantian said in a low voice, "Go to sleep for a while."

Xiaoyuan narrowed his eyes again wearily, and was awakened by the phone vibration not long after.

The caller was from the funeral parlor, informing her that she would be here to pick up the corpse immediately. She rubbed her eyes and felt dizzy when she tried to stand up. Then she stood up slowly, her legs numb.

Tiantian rubbed her, she waved her hand, and waited for a while, until the numbness and pain passed, and then went to the bathroom, cold water splashed on her face, she couldn't help shivering, looked up yourself in the mirror.

His eyes are dull and red and swollen, and his face is also slightly swollen. He is wearing a whole set of black sweater and casual clothes, and his skin is dry and dull. Where is the scenery and beauty that he won the award a few days ago?

She tugged at the corner of her mouth bitterly, took out the moisturizing lotion from her carry-on bag, pressed some into her palm, rubbed it warm and applied it on her face.

Suddenly, all the memories came back.

It's not a dream, it's the naked reality.

She curled up in pain, covering her face and sobbing deeply.

When she got into the funeral home's car in a daze and took out her phone to check the time, she realized that the phone was completely out of battery.

Tiantian came over and thought about it, took out a red envelope from his bag, went to the front and handed it to the driver, and then explained to Xiaoyuan, "This is necessary, the driver should drive more steadily, and the road Auntie walks will be smoother. .”

Xiaoyuan was silent, and then thanked her, "I don't even know about this."

"I also listened to the old man."

"Why do you have a red envelope?"

Tiantian understood her question, "I gave that red envelope to my best friend, her son just turned [-] days old..."

Xiaoyuan really wanted to laugh and said that I would replenish you after that, but at this moment she couldn't say anything, and Tiantian was obviously affected by her emotions, so she also remained silent.

The atmosphere is quiet and sad.

Tiantian's heart was also very sore, and suddenly realized something, and shouted loudly, "Hey", annoyed: "I was in a hurry, and I left the power bank behind."

Xiaoyuan: "It doesn't matter if there is no electricity, I brought the card, I am just worried about my brother's situation."

Tiantian: "Then I'll tell Sister Qing, call me, and we'll charge it when we get there."

"Hmm..." Xiaoyuan nodded, and suddenly remembered to ask, "What time is it?"

"Eight twenty." Tiantian checked the time.

Xiaoyuan lowered his eyelashes, and said inaudibly, "No one will look for me..."

She looked sideways out of the window. At this time, the morning sun was covered with winter dew, and the world was already brightly illuminated.

There is nothing new under the sun.

After driving for about half an hour, when we arrived at the funeral home, the family members had to go to the business office to submit the death certificate and other procedures.

The staff asked if they needed to book a room and a memorial ceremony, but Xiao Yuan shook his head and refused.

Much of the business of funeral homes is outsourced. This is a sacred and down-to-earth job.

"By the way, before the cremation, we have a consecration ceremony. We just have a furnace today. Do you want to be cremated immediately, or? We also have urns at different prices..."

"Also, do you burn paper money? Do you choose funeral objects? There are gold ingots, jade ruyis, and these are used for rebirth..."

Xiaoyuan listened to him patiently, took out his card, "Urns should be of the best quality, and so is the stove. There is no need for paper money, and we need to speed up."

Only then did the staff look up at Xiaoyuan carefully, as if he had just seen Xiaoyuan's appearance at this time, he watched intently and with some doubts, as if recalling, "You look like..."

Tiantian hurriedly interrupted, blocked Xiaoyuan, and diverted his good words, "I'm sorry we are in a hurry, please hurry up."

After receiving the cremation certificate and completing payment and other formalities, they walked out. Xiaoyuan let out a deep breath and looked at Tiantian.

The funeral parlor is quite large. In the winter of Pengcheng, you can still see green grass and evergreen pines and cypresses. Compared with the vitality of nature under the vast sky, the joys and sorrows of human beings seem insignificant.

The two walked in the funeral home for a while, and heard bursts of crying, probably in the farewell hall for the ceremony, Xiaoyuan didn't want to go there.

"Sister Yuan, I'm going to find out if there is any power bank rental."

"……OK, all right."

She had a severe headache, and now she was exposed to the sun and felt a little weak, so she could only find a quiet place to sit, and rummaged through her bag, thinking that her face must be as pale as a ghost, so she found some lipstick and put it on.

When she was a child, she saw her mother put on lipstick, and thought she was so pretty after putting it on, so she wanted to do it herself.

Mom painted her with a smile, and hugged her to her knees with a smile, "Wow, what a big ugly mouth!"

It made my mother laugh, and she laughed, "It will look good when you grow up."

The mother in the mirror is very beautiful, but my own little face is painted with a big red mouth, which looks very funny.

"I will buy a lot of lipsticks in the future, and I will apply them with my mother."

"Okay, then you have to say what you say!"

"must!"

Caught off guard by the past, Xiao Yuan squeezed her lipstick and couldn't help covering her lips and crying bitterly.

Tiantian happened to see this scene when she rushed over, she couldn't move forward, turned away, and wiped her tears frequently.

After a while, Tiantian wiped away her tears, went up and handed her the phone, and then dragged her to eat.It was past ten o'clock, and she didn't know how long Xiaoyuan hadn't eaten, she only knew that she was about to lose her energy.

The cremation was at 11:30, and the two rushed over after eating. Xiaoyuan forced herself to eat something. With Tiantian by her side, she felt better. She didn't have to force herself to face it alone. , somewhat better.

The fireman announces the start of the cremation after the family members sign. The family members can observe in front of the furnace or go to the nearby computer to monitor and observe the progress.

Xiaoyuan refused.

The two waited outside for half an hour.

The fireman called for someone, and asked the family members if they wanted to pick up the bones themselves.

Tian Tianxin pulled herself up and looked at Xiaoyuan. Because she hadn't had a good rest, her eye sockets were a bit deep, her eyelids were swollen, and she looked very haggard.

She was about to say no, but Xiaoyuan had already nodded, she walked in after her, turned around and said to Tiantian, "I can go by myself."

A person's life is declared over with a piece of paper, and after the end, some white bones remain.

My mother is about the same height as myself, 1.6 meters [-], and there is only this little left in the end.

Xiaoyuan picked it up very slowly, her face was calm, and her heart was numb and cold. After picking up all the ashes and putting them in, she took out her lipstick from her bag and put them in too.

Mother……

She closed the box.

Moment blurred with tears.

Goodbye.

The shadow of the tree swayed, and the two walked out of the funeral home, the urn was wrapped in a cloth and placed in the bag.

The atmosphere was too heavy, and Tiantian didn't know how to ease it, so he could only talk first.

"I've booked a ticket just now, shall we go directly to the airport?"

"Well, did Sister Qing call you?" Xiao Yuan quickly wiped his eyes and tried his best to ask, "How is brother doing today?"

"Oh, they said they were checked at the hospital." Tiantian actually didn't know the specific situation, so he could only repeat the WeChat message that Ruan Qing sent her.

"Then let's go quickly."

"Okay, then I'll call a taxi." Just as Tiantian picked up the phone, she suddenly caught something at the end of her eyes, and she scanned it vigilantly, someone secretly took a picture.

It was a girl holding a mobile phone.

She looked over, cast her gaze over, and called tentatively, "Is it Xiang Xiaoyuan?"

"No!" If it was normal, if it wasn't at this juncture, and Xiaoyuan wasn't the only assistant by her side, Tiantian would definitely be much calmer, but at this moment she panicked, and immediately ran towards the girl while speaking. Past, "What did you shoot?"

The girl backed away in surprise, "I didn't take any pictures!" She looked behind Tiantian, "Isn't she Xiang Xiaoyuan? I just looked alike..."

Xiaoyuan stood in the same place and looked at this side indifferently, with pale lips. Although he looked haggard and dressed in ordinary clothes, he still had a beauty that ordinary people could hardly match.

It was Xiang Xiaoyuan, that's right!

The girl is a new employee of this funeral home. She is very young and just graduated. She is not a fanatic, nor is she a gardener. On the way, he seemed to have encountered the deity.

It was said on the Internet that she was in Pengcheng, and it was true.

Still at the funeral home, oh my god?She seems to know something great!

The girl raised the phone again, and Tiantian grabbed her wrist, "Hello!"

"Why did you steal my phone!"

"Don't shoot!"

"...Hey, I'll break the news on Weibo later!"

Xiaoyuan's face was calm, and he was about to walk over.

Suddenly, two people came out of a black nanny's car and came up to her, "Miss Xiang, we'll take care of it, please get in the car first."

The two men, a man and a woman, were dressed very simply, but looked different from ordinary people.

The woman said to her, "Boss Wei asked us to pick you up, please get in the car."

Xiaoyuan was stunned when she heard the words, for a few seconds, a mist suddenly formed in her heart, and it slowly cleared away. When she sat in the back seat of the car, the mist surged away like a sea tide, and even her eye sockets became hot.

Tiantian also came over after a while, she breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Sister Yuan, it seems that Sister Qing sent someone to pick us up, that's great." Pulling the curtains in the car, even Tiantian felt much safer.

Xiao Yuan lowered his eyebrows, pursed his lower lip, and did not speak.

Soon the man and woman came over. The man was driving and the woman was in the co-pilot. He turned to her and said, "Miss Xiang, don't worry, everything has been taken care of and the photos have been deleted."

Tiantian reminded aloud, "She uses Apple and the cloud."

"Don't worry, it's also deleted, and she didn't take a video."

Tiantian was completely relieved now.

"Miss Xiang, let's go directly to the airport, there is a plane waiting for us."

Tiantian let out an "Ah", then felt that something was wrong, and his expression was a bit puzzled.

When they arrived at the private airport, they got out of the car, and Tiantian carried the things on Xiaoyuan's back, opening his mouth in surprise.

private plane?

She looked at Xiaoyuan suspiciously again, and saw that she was just silent, without any surprises, so she had no choice but to follow her up.

After entering the cabin, Tiantian was looking at it curiously. He heard the sound of light footsteps coming. Tiantian looked over naturally: a tall woman in a dark gray shirt and black trousers walked over. ,

Tian Tian stared blankly, only felt that the woman walked beautifully and domineeringly, the sunlight just passed the gold buttons of her cuffs, and a little golden light jumped away, mixed with fine dust, floating quietly in the air .

"Xiaoyuan..." The cold voice seemed to be filled with warmth in such a situation.

Xiaoyuan raised his eyes blankly in shock, and the eyes of the two collided in mid-air.

The two stood facing each other as if no one else was there, their shadows tangled together.

Everything is like a beautifully shot photo with an old-time filter added, and it freezes there.
