On a small road leading to the countryside.
At this moment, Qin Mu, who was sitting on the front passenger seat, kept moving the leather drum.
There was nothing he could do. The hearse that the funeral parlor had given him was really too broken. The sponge cushion under the leather drum had long disappeared.
Especially the road leading to the countryside, which had been watered by the heavy rain overnight, was even more muddy.
As he swayed back and forth, Qin Mu rubbed against the seat under his buttocks.
Even a butt made of iron wouldn't be able to withstand this.
"Haha, hold on for a while more. I reckon we'll reach the destination in half an hour!”
"If you really can't do it, put your work clothes under it. Those brats who came before all did this!”
Zhang Dashan, who was driving, smiled when he saw Qin Mu.
Qin Mu couldn't be blamed for being pretentious. As long as the temporary workers he had hired were to be his co-driver, there wasn't a single one of them who didn't complain about the seat cushion.
"Uh, okay, okay!"
Qin Mu replied and put down his work clothes. Needless to say, sitting on it made him feel much more comfortable.
"By the way, Big Brother Zhang, can it be just the two of us this time?”
On the way back, Zhang Dashan gave a brief account of the mission.
The deceased was a young man. Because his parents were still alive and he had yet to start a family, everything about the funeral was simple.
His family buried him on the night of his death.
This matter should have passed just like that.
However, who would have thought that perhaps it was because they were buried too shallow or because of the heavy rain that night, the dead body that had just been buried was actually exposed and seen by the villagers who were working in the fields nearby.
This was why there was an urgent mission today.
However, since the family had already buried the dead, the family would not be happy if the two of them came over and burned them.
Hearing Qin Mu's words, Zhang Dashan struck a match and lit the cigarette in his mouth.
"It's fine. Before we came, the village secretary had already instructed us not to worry about the family members of the deceased. We just have to go over and pull them over!”
After saying that, Zhang Dashan puffed out a mouthful of cigarette and grinned at Qin Mu.""What's wrong? Are you feeling burdened?”
Qin Mu shook his head as he saw Zhang Dashan grinning at him. Following that, he also struck a match and lit it.
"Nothing. I just feel that this person should have been buried in the ground before. Why are we going back and forth to burn him? I keep feeling that"
In the end, Qin Mu couldn't find a suitable adjective to describe this matter.
No matter when, the dead were the most important.
Even for someone who had transmigrated from the New Era, he felt that it was slightly inappropriate to do so!
Hearing Qin Mu's words, Zhang Dashan also sighed.
"Hey, when I first entered this industry, I had the same thoughts as you!”
"As the world grows older and we experience more of such things, we're more at ease!”
As he spoke, Zhang Dashan looked ahead and took a puff of his cigarette, as if he was lost in some kind of memory.
"I remember that there was once when I went to the countryside to pull the Lord of the Dead.”
"Back then, it wasn't like now, where the production teams of the commons were all equipped with a telephone. If there was any news, we would know immediately!”
"When we went over, Lord Shi had been in the courtyard for half a month. His corpse was highly decomposed.”
"At that time, the conditions were even more difficult than now. In some places, it would not be an exaggeration to say that they did not have enough food to fill their stomachs and that they did not have enough clothes to cover their bodies.”
"Some people can even take off Lord Shi's clothes and wear them!”
"And that time, Lord Shi, who was on a mission, encountered such a situation. He had just buried it for a night, and this grave was dug up by someone!”
"The worst thing is that the deceased died of kala azar. You should have guessed the result!”
"There were more than forty people in the village, and nearly half of them died in half a month. If it weren't for the people from the epidemic prevention station following them, the consequences would have been unimaginable!”
Forty people? Nearly half of them died?
When he heard this, Qin Mu couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.
The medical standards of this era were not like the later generations, where the universal coverage of the vaccine had been achieved.
Therefore, some infectious diseases were also rampant.
In particular, leishmaniasis, malaria, plague, and so on happened from time to time.
Seeing Qin Mu's silence, Zhang Dashan took another puff of his cigarette butt and said with a smile,""Haha, don't worry this time. Although Lord Shi died young, he didn't die of illness, so you can rest assured!”
After Zhang Dashan's persuasion, the knot in Qin Mu's heart had been untied quite a bit.
It was still the same sentence. Since he was here, he should take it as it was!
.....................
Half an hour later, a small village appeared in Qin Mu's sight.
The village was simple and unsophisticated. A small stream flowed around the village.
The countryside these days was not like in the later generations. No matter how bad the conditions were, there was still a brick house.
In recent years, some people lived on the houses left behind by their ancestors. They could even have a good place to stay.
Of course, even such a house was dilapidated because it had not been repaired for a long time.
But even so, it was still much more glamorous than some mud houses that were stepped on with mud bricks.
As for the remaining ones, they could only be said to be habitable.
The village in front of him was like this.
Before he got close, Qin Mu saw the propaganda slogan on the adobe wall at the entrance of the village through the windshield.
"The potential of the land is endless.”
"Sigh, the aura of the times!"
Zhang Dashan found an empty space and stopped the car.
There were already a few people waiting at the entrance of the village.
When he saw the two of them arrive, he also came over to welcome them.
"You must be Zhang Dashan's comrade.”
As soon as he got out of the car, a dark-skinned man with a white towel on his head walked up.
Then, they exchanged familiar words with each other.
After the introductions, Qin Mu knew that the person in front of him was the Village Chief of Chen Jia Gou!
"Alright, I still have to rush to order this noodles. Let's go to the owner's house quickly!”
Zhang Dashan said after some small talk.
"Alright, alright, let's go over now!"
With that, the two of them entered the quiet village under the guidance of the village chief!
