Who will Chapter 008 be?

My grandfather said that I was born on the Ghost Festival, and my eight characters belong to the yin category, which means I naturally have a strong yin energy and a weak fate. To extend my life, I can only marry a ghost, finding someone with a strong fate who can protect me from disasters.

His head is stitched on

It is also for this reason that they must be buried separately, utilizing the terrain of mountains and rivers, and employing the principles of geomancy to suppress and avoid the transformation of both corpses, thus preventing the formation of a dual malevolent force

Why is he knocking on my door at this late hour

She lay quietly, her chest still, merely a corpse; however, her complexion was unusually rosy, and with her eyes tightly closed, she resembled a bride in deep slumber

Because of this, my courage is much greater than that of my peers. At the age of ten, I began to assist my grandfather and father while they worked.

Later, his father stuffed his belly full of cotton, and then sewed up his abdomen stitch by stitch, so that his body would not deflate and would appear relatively normal

I was hiding outside at the time and overheard some things

Especially since the female protagonist in the novel shares a character with her name, this makes her feel even more relatable

Because both my grandfather and father possess exceptional skills, they have gained a certain level of fame in the surrounding villages. Even people from the city sometimes invite my grandfather and father to handle the bodies of their deceased family members.

After some inquiries, they learned that grandfather and father were the successors of the corpse bearer, which is why they specifically came to find them

They were a couple who died unexpectedly outside. According to the customs of their locality, if a couple dies unexpectedly, they cannot be buried together after death, as it may lead to misfortune.

At that time, I did not fully understand the concept of a ghost marriage, nor did I say much about it, until that night when my grandfather brought back a male corpse

My ancestors were engaged in the profession of carrying corpses, which is a trade specifically dealing with the deceased

Later, they decided to send the woman's body back to her family for burial. However, this was a case of a couple dying together under tragic circumstances, which carried a heavy grudge. The likelihood of a vengeful transformation of the corpse was extremely high, and if not handled properly, it could lead to serious consequences. Therefore, only professionals should be entrusted with this task.

It has only been a few minutes since the order was placed, hasn't it been too quick?

After they spoke with grandfather and father about some matters, they left. That night, grandfather and father had a big argument.

As she was watching while lying down, her hands trembled in fright, and her phone fell directly onto her face, causing her to grimace in pain

For no apparent reason, Han Yumeng felt increasingly agitated, and more than that, she was infuriated

Although it is still a matter of dealing with the deceased, there is no choice; they only possess skills for interacting with the dead

I was born on the Ghost Festival, and my mother passed away due to complications during childbirth.

Although it is still a profession associated with the dead, the family of three lives a stable life, without worries about food and clothing

Since then, my body has become extremely weak, deteriorating day by day

What impressed me the most were those two instances, one involving a person who was crushed by a large vehicle, his entire head was completely smashed, making it impossible to stitch. Later, my grandfather could only make a head for him out of paper, carefully drawing the facial features one by one.

However, I overheard something last night, and I know that my father must have taken on that matter by himself

My name is Chen Yuruo, and I live in a remote small mountain village

Grandfather gathered many people, who pasted numerous talismans in my room, burned a lot of yellow paper outside, and even had someone dancing a strange dance by my bedside

Knock knock knock

Who could that have been just now

However, with the passage of time, this profession has gradually fallen into decline, and it has become impossible to rely on it for a living.

The other was a corpse retrieved from the mountains, at that time the internal organs of the corpse had already been hollowed out by wild animals

Is it the neighbor

Although I am a girl, I have heard my grandfather and father talk about some strange and peculiar things since I was young, among which many taboos were mentioned, including various unclean things

The male corpse has a ring of purplish-red marks around the neck, which at first glance appears to be a result of strangulation; however, upon closer inspection, it is revealed to be a circle of fine needle punctures

She furrowed her brow, wondering if the delivery had arrived

The knocking continues

Grandfather said that he is the one who wants to marry me in a ghost marriage

Fortunately, there are quite a few skills that one needs to master in the profession of a mortician, and facial reconstruction is one of them

It took several days of such turmoil for my condition to improve

The next day, father was missing

Inside lies a girl dressed in a bright red wedding gown, appearing to be around fifteen or sixteen years old

Until the year I turned fifteen, a sudden illness caused me to lie in bed for more than a week

"Who is it!" she shouted, but there was no response, not even the sound of knocking had ceased.

She opened her phone and saw that the delivery riders had not yet picked up the meals

Just at that moment, the door was pushed open, and my father, who had been missing for five years, stood outside carrying a coffin.

Could it be that they have sent me the orders that others have returned?

This skill was inherited from their ancestors by both grandfather and father, and thereafter, the father and son relied on this livelihood

Grandfather held my hand, pointing at Dad with his smoking pipe, unable to say a word

Father did not speak, nor did he enter the house, but instead set down the coffin on his back and opened the lid.

However, my grandfather was unwilling to take on this matter, but my father insisted that it must be done, claiming it was for my own good

The group of people who came during the day wanted to have grandfather and father carry the corpse

At that time, the two of them were arguing fiercely, and I was hiding outside, so I did not hear the specific reason clearly

During that period, I also encountered various kinds of corpses

Upon seeing this, Han Yumeng bit her nails, her breathing becoming increasingly rapid. She had already been deeply captivated by the content of the novel, unconsciously immersing herself in it, her small body frozen in place.

I asked my grandfather, and he only said that my father went out to work, but he was unwilling to elaborate further

And the farther the burial, the better

On that day, a group of people suddenly arrived. They drove small cars, dressed in suits and ties, and it was evident that they were wealthy individuals from the city

Grandfather covered my eyes to prevent me from seeing, but I forcefully pried open a gap between his fingers, and only then did I see the face of the bride in the wedding dress.

I was so stunned that my scalp felt numb at the time, how could I possibly agree, I kept shaking my head and was ready to go back inside the house

She is now very much looking forward to the subsequent plot, but just at this moment ... ...

The sound of urgent knocking at the door startled her, causing her body to tremble, and she almost jumped up.

From that day on, my father never returned

Knock knock knock

Not only that, but there are also stitches on his limbs and torso, and his hands and feet are sewn on as well

Since that time, it has been my grandfather and father who have continuously taken care of me

The bride's corpse lying in the coffin is actually myself

At this moment, a chill surged from the soles of my feet straight to my head, causing my scalp to tingle, and I felt as if my breath had come to a standstill

There are those who were hacked to death, those who drowned, those who hanged themselves, those who jumped from buildings, and others who resemble mummified corpses
