Folk customs begin with the entire funeral procession

Chapter 89 The Self-Healing Face

After earning two thousand yuan yesterday afternoon, Shi Manman was not very happy.

This is probably the first time she's been unhappy after making money.

When she got home, she kept thinking about what happened that afternoon.

She couldn't understand why Chen Miao would pay for Luo Yucheng's face to look like that out of his own pocket!

If she were to come, although she wouldn't be able to fully recover Luo Yucheng, she could at least restore him to 30% of his original state.

But with Chen Miao's meddling... it won't even reach 10%!

This puzzled Shi Manman greatly.

Could it be that Luo Yucheng and Chen Miao have a grudge?

This was the only reason Shi Manman could think of.

Besides that, there were Chen Miao's demands, and... the cold air that appeared when he reached out.

She didn't know if the sudden feeling of coldness was just her imagination. If not, how did Chen Miao manage to do it?
All of this piqued her curiosity.

I thought about it all night long, until I went to work the next morning.

After sitting in the office for ten minutes in a daze, Shi Manman finally decided to go to the cold storage to check on Luo Yucheng.

She wanted to take another look at the stitches, to see what the point was of the things Chen Miao had asked her to sew!
If possible, she also plans to take a picture and ask her former teacher later to see if she knows what kind of approach this is.

Upon arriving at the cold storage, Shi Manman asked Li Fu to open Luo Yucheng's freezer.

When the freezer was opened and the body bag was unpacked, Shi Manman froze.

Looking at the face that was so different from yesterday, she pointed at it, stammering.

"This, this isn't how it is!"

She looked at Li Fu.

"Yesterday, did you see what he looked like yesterday? He wasn't like this yesterday!"

Li Fu looked at Shi Manman without saying anything.

Shi Manman wanted to say something, but looking at Li Fu's calm and expressionless face, she couldn't bring herself to speak.

After taking one last look at the face, which was already 50% repaired, Shi slowly walked away.

……

Back in her office, Shi Manman's mind was still filled with Luo Yucheng's face.

"how is this possible?"

She muttered to herself.

After calming down a bit, she thought of a possibility.

Chen Miao, after she left last night, she must have done something to Luo Yucheng again!
That must be it. Perhaps Chen Miao is a master of concealment who has hidden his true abilities, and he has kept his key methods hidden!
But soon, Shi gradually gave up on his idea in despair.

If Chen Miao is a master of concealing her appearance, then why hire her?
If Chen Miao is a master of concealing his true appearance, at what age did he begin learning this skill?

If Chen Miao is a master of concealing his true nature, then how does he manage to remain skilled even after not doing these things for so long?
All of this tells Shi Manman that Chen Miao is unlikely to be a master of concealment.

But if not, then what's wrong with Luo Yucheng's face?

Could it be that Luo Yucheng fixed it himself?
Shi was startled by her own thought.

"How can it be!"

Shi Manman was not a novice; she and Chen Miao had similar years of work experience and graduated in the same year.

I've handled countless corpses, but I've never encountered anything like those things before.

She had handled bodies from car accidents before, so Luo Yucheng's situation was not an isolated case.

But why is Luo Yucheng experiencing this strange situation, while the others are not?
Could it be... that Luo Yucheng isn't special?

Shi Manman couldn't help but think of Chen Miao, his things, the strange places Chen Miao had her sew, and... that piece of paper that looked like human skin!
When Shi Manman couldn't find a job as a cosmetic surgeon, she worked as a doctor's assistant at a medical aesthetics center.

There, you can get surgery to transplant skin from other parts of your face.

So, he gradually came into contact with human skin!

Although the human skin paper Chen Miao gave her looked very different from the human skin she had seen before, she knew immediately when she touched it that it was human skin!

Is there any explanation behind Chen Miao's actions?
At this moment, Shi Manman's mind was filled with these random guesses.

She only lost focus when a new body was brought in and she was asked to put on makeup.

But after she finished her work, she started to overthink again.

She even wanted to ask Chen Miao what exactly was going on!

However, there was still a two thousand yuan separating her from Chen Miao!

That two thousand yuan was like a chasm between her and Chen Miao, one she could never cross!

Time flies by in the blink of an eye.

Luo Yucheng's memorial service is about to begin.

Shi Manman also received the message that she was to do Luo Yucheng's makeup.

After a night, Shi was almost able to calm herself down.

Regardless, this is none of her business.

She was just an ordinary mortician!
With this attitude, Shi Man calmly approached Luo Yucheng and opened the body bag.

All the mental preparation I'd done overnight was completely destroyed the moment I opened the body bag.

Seeing that there were no stitches left on the face, only the paleness of the corpse itself, Shi Manman stood there stunned.

Until Chen Miao came in and stood next to her.

"Just do your makeup, don't worry about anything else. You're just earning some extra money, right?"

Looking at Chen Miao's face, Shi slowly nodded.

"Yes, I just earned some extra money!"

After speaking, Shi Manman's eyes regained their resolve. She took out her makeup bag and began to touch up Luo Yucheng's makeup.

After watching for a while, Chen Miao rushed to Yongning Hall to direct the work there.

after an hour.

The memorial service began with Chen Miao speaking first!
……

"Today, we stand here to bid farewell to Luo Yucheng, a young man who should have had a long life ahead of him."

"The accident took away his body, but it could not take away the optimistic spirit he left us."

"May he be free from suffering in another world, and we will forever remember his face..."

After the eulogy was read, everyone began to pay their respects to Luo Yucheng's body in the coffin.

Almost every relative who knew about Luo Yucheng's situation showed a surprised expression when they saw him; this expression even overshadowed their grief.

Chen Miao witnessed the entire scene.

After everything was over, Chen Miao ran into Luo Yucheng's parents in the business hall.

Upon meeting, Luo Yucheng's father grasped Chen Miao's hand tightly.

"Thank you so much, thank you so much!"

Luo Yucheng's father's eyes reddened, while Luo Yucheng's mother was already in tears.

"Director Chen, thank you for what you did for Luo Yucheng... Please accept this."

Looking at the thick white envelope, Chen Miao did not refuse and took it.

"Death is a serious matter, and these are things we, as those who handle funeral arrangements, should do!"

"As long as you don't blame me for the agreement I made you sign before, it's fine."

Upon hearing this, Luo Yucheng's father shook Chen Miao's hand again.

He didn't say anything, but some things don't need to be said.

From that day on, people from the towns next to Tianmen County began to bypass their own funeral homes and go directly to the Tianmen Funeral Home!

It's all for that one phrase: "The dead are the greatest!"
Of course, Chen Miao is unaware of all this.

All he knew was Chapter Four, and that it was the end!
[Chapter 4 - Chivalry Completed, gained Yin Virtue (two coins), received Luo Yucheng's gratitude (Riding Skills - Motorcycle - Mastery)]

Chen Miao remained silent.

This gain was practically nothing; the good deeds done in secret made up for the loss, and Chen Miao would never use his motorcycle skills!

Just then, someone knocked on Chen Miao's office door.

"Please come in."

Chen Miao closed the book and saw Shi Manman walking in.

At this moment, she was holding an envelope that was even thicker than the one Chen Miao had just received.

He placed the envelope on Chen Miao's desk, and under Chen Miao's puzzled gaze, he slowly began to speak:

"Director, I want to learn, please teach me!"
