Folk customs begin with the entire funeral procession

Chapter 88 (Unfinished Chapter)
ten minutes later.

Chen Miao let out a long sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Shi Manman looked at Chen Miao with a completely bewildered expression.

"End?"

Chen Miao nodded solemnly.

"It's over!"

Shi slowly turned her gaze back to the face that was stitched up haphazardly, with stitches forming "X" shapes.

She couldn't help but double-check: "Is this the final product?"

Chen Miao nodded expressionlessly.

In fact, he was also somewhat uncertain, but although his suturing technique was not good, he was not so bad as to be unable to understand it.

He was certain that he had followed the instructions in the Eighteen Styles of Painted Skin.

But now, the numerous stitches on his face made Chen Miao somewhat suspicious.

"Could it be like when I used to solve math problems, where not being able to solve them wasn't my problem, but the problem's problem?"

After a moment of silence, Chen Miao finally decided to believe that his answer was correct!
"Okay, you can try it first."

Shi Manman thought that if it were like this, she wouldn't need to practice at all and could get started right away.

But since Chen Miao is the client, whatever he says goes!

Shi Manman's speed was much faster than Chen Miao's. He used the Soul-Guiding Needle technique, and the whole process took less than five minutes.

The zigzag stitches, with three stitches followed by a knot, are quite smooth.

The throat closure at the mouth area shows no signs of stitching, but if you lift your lips slightly, you can see the thread inside.

This was the skill of needle and thread; when it came to filling in facial features later, Chen Miao's eyes were opened even wider.

Apart from the different color on his face, his facial features were exactly the same as those of the person in the photo that Luo Yucheng's parents gave him.
Compared to Chen Miao's mess, this is so much better.

After the facial sculpting was completed, the skin suturing began.

Even with the best techniques, the face would still be covered in "X" marks after the stitching was finished.

Looking at his 'masterpiece', Shi slowly turned his head and asked, "Is that all?"

Chen Miao nodded.

"That's it. There's one more place where I'll need your help when we actually start."

Shi nodded slowly, then asked, "And the price?"

Chen Miao considered the workload this time and, compared to the 500 yuan he paid for Qian Xiaomei's makeup last time, he offered 2,500 yuan!
Shi Manman's eyes lit up, and he quickly nodded.

"Then with a 20% discount, it's two thousand!"

Chen Miao had no objections and immediately transferred the money to Shi Manman.

After taking the money, Shi Manman was still full of doubts, but she decided to ignore it and not ask any questions!
After tidying up all the practice equipment and taking care of their own needs, the two returned to their room.

Start sewing!
"Wait a minute!"

Seeing that Shi Manman had already turned Luo Yucheng's body over and was about to do so, Chen Miao stopped Shi Manman.

After holding his hand above Luo Yucheng's head for about ten seconds, Chen Miao signaled to continue slowly.

Shi Manman had gradually become accustomed to such sights, so he picked up a fishbone needle and mulberry bark thread and went over to them.

As soon as her hand got close to her head, she froze for a moment.

Why is it so cold?

Shi Man looked at Chen Miao with a puzzled expression, but Chen Miao did not explain.

Suppressing her doubts, Shi slowly began to sew.

Just as the bandage reached the neck area, Chen Miao called for a halt again.

Immediately afterwards, Shi Manman saw Chen Miao's hand reach out again, lingering for a moment on Luo Yucheng's back near his neck.

This time, as Shi Man got closer, she noticed that the temperature there began to drop as Chen Miao's hand stopped there.

Although Shi Manman had already told herself not to get involved in her boss's affairs, she couldn't help but widen her eyes in disbelief.

Unfortunately, the boss didn't seem inclined to explain it to her.

For the sake of two thousand yuan, Shi Manman had no choice but to suppress her doubts and continue working.

After slowly suppressing his anger, Chen Miao breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, Shi Manman is a service provider with a strong sense of contractual responsibility. No matter how outrageous the client is, she doesn't care and just focuses on getting the job done!
As for why you should reach out and pause, it's simply to let the yin energy linger there.

This ability is the same secondary ability that Chen Miao obtained when he gathered Yin (II), which he thought wouldn't have much use.

I didn't expect it to be so useful here.

Regarding the concern that revealing so much to Shi Manman might allow her to steal his skills and try sewing corpses elsewhere, Chen Miao felt that she would definitely try, but it wouldn't be effective.

First of all, Shi Manman doesn't know the specifics of those four items, so it's impossible for him to gather them all.

Secondly, even if these things were gradually and coincidentally gathered, Yin energy is not something that can be used in secret techniques under normal circumstances.

Unless you slowly and deliberately find a place with abundant yin energy to sew up the corpse.

But how could she know all this?
Therefore, even if Chen Miao demonstrated these techniques to Shi Manman, Shi Manman was still unable to use the same corpse-stitching technique as Chen Miao.

As for what Shi Manman's reaction will be after the secret technique takes effect, Chen Miao has no idea.

But if Chen Miao doesn't admit to something, will Shi Manman keep pressing him?
Based on Chen Miao's understanding of Shi Manman over this period of time, the other party couldn't do that.

More often than not, Shi Manman probably spends his free time alone pondering what kind of person Chen Miao really is.

It has to be said that, from this perspective, Shi Manman is absolutely a perfect 'tool'.

……

Ten minutes passed.

After slowly finishing the Soul-Guiding Needle and Throat-Sealing Knot, he began to fill the face with adipocere and shape it.

Another ten minutes passed, and the human skin paper was placed on Luo Yucheng's face. The stitching began!
Chen Miao was constantly gathering Yin energy, which inevitably caused the temperature in the room to drop somewhat.

The whole process lasted about forty minutes.

Just as Shi was slowly preparing to apply makeup to that face, Chen Miao called out to her.

"Don't burn it yet, we'll do it before the memorial service the day after tomorrow."

He slowly followed the instructions and then stopped.

"Alright, you go and rest for a bit. I'll stay here and watch for a while."

Shi nodded silently, packed his things, and went out.

After watching Chen Miao slowly leave, he carefully put away the fishbone needle, the remaining human skin paper, and the mulberry bark thread.

Only three sheets of human skin paper were used, a little more mulberry bark thread was used, six strands, and only one-third of the adipocere was used!

Therefore, if the Corpse-Sewing Technique is needed again in the future, there is no need to exchange for it again.

After putting his things away, Chen Miao glanced at Luo Yucheng and then took out the book.

The content has changed.

The scene of Xiang Shang riding a bicycle did not occur, but the ghost was not eliminated tonight either.

"..."

"After I finished stitching the deceased's face together under my direction, I left satisfied."

"For the next two days, I checked on the deceased every day to make sure my methods were working correctly."

"On the third day, the memorial service began."

"When the deceased's parents saw the deceased's face, they cried."

"After the memorial service, the deceased's family was extremely grateful to me, thanking me for allowing the deceased to leave in the most dignified way."

"I gladly accept this."

"The details have changed, and I didn't die, but I haven't received my reward..."

Chen Miao thought of the resentment that Lao Wang had given him back then.

When Old Wang's resentment had only one day left, Chen Miao had not died, and the book had not settled the matter until he survived the last night.

"So, we have to wait until the memorial service?"

"Is this to prevent me from changing the plan halfway through, thus failing to achieve the final goal as planned, which is why the chapter is not finished?"

Chen Miao thought to himself.

Afterwards, Chen Miao found Li Fu and took Luo Yucheng to the cold storage.

Because of Luo Yucheng's face, Chen Miao told Li Fu not to set the temperature of his freezer too low.

The next day, after seeing off Xiang Shang, who had spent the whole day at the funeral home, Chen Miao went to the cold storage early in the morning and opened Luo Yucheng's freezer.

As soon as he pulled it out, Chen Miao was stunned.

The lines on Luo Yucheng's face had faded considerably.

And the paper-like texture of the human skin gradually resembled the texture of skin.

Seeing this miraculous scene, Chen Miao breathed a sigh of relief.

After gathering a ball of yin energy and throwing it into Luo Yucheng's freezer, Chen Miao left!
