Chapter 117 This mending of the corpse also relied on needle and thread.
In this world, every single second, people are born and people die.

Life and death are major events, yet they unfold in different ways every day in some corner of this world.

Bang.

At a traffic light intersection in HA city, a drunk driver ran a red light in the rain and hit a young man who had just finished his part-time job at a convenience store.

Even at the moment he hit the person, the driver was not fully conscious and continued driving forward, running over the young man who was lying on the ground.

The young man, who was already on his last breath, was completely shattered.

Police cars and ambulances arrived quickly, and the driver was arrested.

But in the end, the young man was sent to the funeral home. His grandmother, far away in her hometown, was awakened by a phone call in the middle of the night. After listening to the call, she fainted...
-
"Who among you wants to stitch up Xiao Xu's body?"

Inside the funeral home, Director Xiao Chunsheng looked at the three employees in front of him and asked a question.

The "Xiao Xu" he mentioned was the young man who had just been pulled from the scene of the car accident.

His body, after being thrown into the air and then crushed, was already torn to pieces.

Their funeral home has a tradition of providing free sutures for those in certain situations.

This money came from the government.

Firstly, out of humanitarianism, there is a hope that this person can be reincarnated in the next life intact, without any defects.

Secondly, if the stitches are done well, the family members will not be so grief-stricken when they see it later.

only……

This is a job that very few people are willing to do, even if they are offered a high price.

After all, this is work involving corpses, especially mutilated ones.

Not many people can stand it.

Seeing that none of the three spoke, Xiao Chunsheng began to call out names.

"Ruli, why don't you do it?"

Zhang Ruli, the youngest of the three, who was only in her early twenties, almost burst into tears when her name was called.

"Don't you know whether I'm capable or not, curator?"

She was a vocational school graduate who had only recently graduated. Nowadays, college graduates are everywhere and not worth much; even college graduates can't find jobs, let alone someone like her who studied makeup.

Finally, through a relative's introduction, I got a job at the HA City Funeral Home.

Although she wasn't particularly timid, she was also responsible for applying makeup to the deceased.

But that's all she can do.

She had no choice but to sew up the corpse.

She had planned to give it a try last time, after all, the salary was high.

No, she was so frightened that she vomited on the spot and had nightmares for half a month.

Xiao Chunsheng sighed and looked at the other two male employees.

The two male employees immediately waved their hands.

"Director, you know I'm afraid of blood."

"Director, although I'm learning from you, I'm still a beginner. You're making it difficult for me to even tie a knot. I'm not confident at all."

Xiao Chunsheng sighed. Was he the only one who could take the stage himself?
"By the way, have any people applied for the job recently?" he asked again.

"No." The three of them shook their heads in unison.

Xiao Chunsheng sighed again. Working at a funeral home involves dealing with the dead and is somewhat unlucky, so no matter how high the salary is, no one is willing to apply.

This job posting has been up for several years.

The two male employees were considered long-term employees, while Zhang Ruli would probably have left long ago if it weren't for a relative's introduction, her family's financial difficulties, and her inability to find other work.

"Can't God just give me an employee who dares to stitch up corpses?"

Just as Xiao Chunsheng was sighing helplessly, his phone suddenly rang. Seeing the caller ID, he quickly answered it. At that moment, footsteps came from outside the door.

Xiao Chunsheng saw the two women walk in and also heard the voice of his superior on his phone.

"Chunsheng, isn't that the employee who's always stitching up corpses? I've brought it to you."

"Oh, right, she's on her way there, she should be arriving soon."

"By the way, there's a Miss Xu inside. You must treat her well and make sure she doesn't offend her."

As soon as Xiao Chunsheng hung up the phone, he saw two women walking towards him.

The one in the lead was a young girl, wearing a blue and white dress with golden phoenix feathers embroidered on the hem.

Upon closer inspection, this seemingly simple blue dress is actually meticulously crafted, with every stitch exuding understated luxury.

She possessed a cool and aloof demeanor, with indifferent eyes, as if nothing in the world could touch her, and nothing could enter her gaze.

Solemn and sacred, it inspires reverence at first glance, preventing any thought of desecration.

As she approached, Xiao Chunsheng inexplicably felt that even the surrounding temperature had dropped considerably.

Xiao Chunsheng didn't dare to look too closely, instead focusing his gaze on the young woman's back, his eyes lighting up slightly.

That was a beautiful woman in her forties.

With gentle and beautiful features, fair skin, and a bright green cheongsam that accentuated her slender and graceful figure.

Wearing a cheongsam, she walked over amidst blooming delicate orchids, each step measured and deliberate, as if every step was precisely measured.

Her posture was also very graceful.

The orchid in the secluded valley, isolated from the world, is no longer like that.

The beautiful woman seemed to have great respect for the young girl, following her respectfully a step behind her.

The beautiful woman's black hair was tied up in a bun, secured only by a single emerald green hairpin.

Xiao Chunsheng's heart was pounding faster.

Xiao Chunsheng, you're a married man, you can't be interested in other women.

Of course, the young woman walking in front was also extremely beautiful, but perhaps because of her age, Xiao Chunsheng paid more attention to the beautiful woman.

"Who are you?" Xiao Chunsheng composed himself and stepped forward to ask.

Xu Qingling glanced around the funeral home, then her gaze fell on Xiao Chunsheng in front of her. "You must be Director Xiao. I wonder if Mr. Zhao told you that a mortician would be coming to stitch up corpses?"

"Yes, yes, yes, Boss Zhao just called."

They arrived so quickly; the leader had just mentioned it, and they were already here.

Could that employee be the girl in front of me?
But Xiao Chunsheng felt it was unlikely.

This girl doesn't look like the type to stitch up corpses like this, and as for the beautiful woman behind her...

"This is Cuilan, the employee."

As Xu Qingling introduced her, the beautiful woman behind her, Cuilan, stepped forward and bowed slightly to Xiao Chunsheng. "Greetings, Director Xiao. My name is Cuilan, and I am skilled in needlework."

As soon as Cuilan opened her mouth, Xiao Chunsheng thought that her voice was indeed as gentle and beautiful as her appearance.

And this name, Cuilan, Cuilan, what a good name, truly worthy of its name.

"No need for such formalities, you're too kind."

Xiao Chunsheng instinctively reached out to help Cuilan, but then felt it was inappropriate.

Just ...

"Skilled in needlework?" But they don't need to mend clothes.

Xu Qingling, unusually, offered a reminder: "Director Xiao, mending corpses also relies on needles and thread."
