The undertaker is ordinary and great!

Upon hearing the Girl's explanation, Lin Yuan glared fiercely at the Photographer.

How could there be a 'ghost wall'? It was purely him scaring himself.

He was perfectly fine, yet this guy scared him half to death.

Fortunately, he was safe now.

Lin Yuan looked at the Girl and replied with a smile, "It's nothing, it's nothing, I was just afraid of delaying your work. Are you done?"

The Girl turned her head and looked around the room, smiling apologetically, "I'm sorry, I've only just started."

"If you're not scared, come in and you can talk while I do makeup. If you're scared, you can wait for me outside."

"It won't take too long. One person is to be cremated tomorrow and needs some time for a dignified farewell to relatives. The other was in a car accident, covered in blood, so I'll just do a simple treatment for family to visit tomorrow."

Lin Yuan nodded, pondering for a moment.

To be honest, he was quite wary of the deceased; saying he wasn't scared in the middle of the night was a lie.

But thinking that this cute Girl wasn't scared being here alone, wouldn't it be too embarrassing if he showed weakness?

Moreover, he was also very curious about how the deceased were embalmed.

Thinking this, he made up his mind and replied with a smile, "It's fine, I'm not scared. You can work, and I'll tell you about it."

The Girl showed a cute smile upon hearing this, "Okay! Come in."

"Okay!"

Lin Yuan followed the Girl into the makeup room and saw the Photographer also following.

He quickly turned and reminded him, "Don't photograph the deceased."

The Photographer nodded, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Upon entering the room, what greeted their eyes were two bulging beds in the center, each wrapped in a white cloth, with a large bloodstain on one of the cloths.

The interior of the room was simple and tidy, with small jars arranged in a wall cabinet on the left wall, looking like decorations.

A row of neatly arranged clothes was also placed in the corner, for the deceased's family to choose suitable attire.

The room was filled with a solemn and grave atmosphere; even the air felt a bit heavy.

Accompanied by a gust of strange wind.

With a click, the room door closed.

Lin Yuan merely glanced around before curiously looking at the Girl.

He saw the Girl first take out a document from her bag and compare it with the deceased's information on the bed, then signed after confirming the identity.

Then she put on gloves and lifted the white cloth covering the deceased.

Lying on the bed was an elderly man with gray hair, who appeared to have died of old age.

In Lin Yuan's view, the Girl removed the deceased's clothes and covered him with a clean white towel, only exposing his head and feet.

After doing this, the Girl explained with a smile, "As embalmers, we essentially ensure the deceased leaves with dignity; even though he has passed away, he shouldn't be exposed carelessly."

Lin Yuan nodded, watching intently, completely forgetting why he was there.

Then the Girl took out a bar of soap from her makeup bag and washed the deceased's face, hair, and entire body to remove bacteria.

Even the spaces between fingers and toes were cleaned thoroughly, just like in a beauty salon, allowing the departed to enjoy the last moment of comfort.

After washing the face, a water film mask was applied to the deceased's face to keep their skin adequately moist.

After all this, the stiff body also needed to be massaged.

Next came the makeup.

Applying makeup to the deceased is different from ordinary makeup.

Because many people do not die naturally; there are car accidents, falls from buildings, and even murders.

So makeup is not just about making the face look better.

It also involves fixing bones, suturing skin grafts, and so on.

Many people cannot accept this point alone, especially when seeing those with extremely terrifying death appearances, which can leave psychological trauma.

However, fortunately, the deceased currently being embalmed had died of old age and did not require too many complicated steps.

The Girl first used metal to fix the facial shape, then sealed the mouth with glue.

This is to ensure the stability of the facial contours and prevent deformation or distortion during the makeup process.

It also prevents cosmetics from entering the deceased's mouth during makeup, maintaining the deceased's cleanliness and dignity.

Lin Yuan witnessed the Girl's embalming process throughout, filled with admiration.

It seemed like a very ordinary job, just cleaning and makeup, but it depended on who it was for.

He asked himself, he couldn't do it!

Even with a very high salary, he couldn't bring himself to do it.

Before, he had never understood the profession of an embalmer.

Even just hearing the name, he would look at it with prejudice.

Constantly interacting with dead people, just thinking about it sent shivers down his spine.

But today, for the first time, he felt a hint of respect for this profession!

The work of an embalmer is to give the last moment of life gentleness and respect, allowing the deceased to depart with dignity and bid farewell to this world gracefully.

The Book of Rites says: "Move the corpse to the bed, cover it with a burial shroud, remove the clothes of the dead, the minor servant wedges the teeth with a horn spatula, and ties the feet with a swallow-shaped table."

It shows that from ancient times to the present, people have valued the dignity after death very highly.

However, modern society has a great prejudice against this industry, causing many practitioners to feel ashamed.

But imagine, if this continues, and no one is willing to be an embalmer, what will be the consequences?

Many deceased will lose their last dignified appearance before cremation, and how sad will families be to see their loved ones in such a terrible state?

Especially those who died from jumping off buildings or car accidents, it's even harder to look directly at them.

If a person is born and received by Nurses and Doctors, they are called white-clad angels.

Then when they die and are sent off by embalmers, they can also be called angels!

To do such work, one must first have strong psychological resilience; those without great love cannot do this job well.

Because when embalmers do makeup, what they must be thinking about is how to make the deceased look dignified and glorious, not disgusting!

Just as Lin Yuan was in a daze, the Girl stood up, let out a heavy sigh, and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I've delayed your time. I'll trim his nails and shave his beard now."

"Finally, I'll drain his blood and gases, inject disinfectant and preservative, and then it's done. If you can't wait, you can introduce me to houses now. My rent is almost due, and I'm in a hurry!"

As soon as Lin Yuan heard about draining blood and injecting preservatives, he felt all the hairs on his body tingle.

Although he wasn't afraid of blood, the thought of the blood-draining scene made him uncomfortable all over.

He could only laugh awkwardly, "It's fine, it's fine, you do your work. I'm not in a hurry. Is it okay if I just look around here?"

The Girl smiled happily, "Mhm, okay!"

After getting permission, Lin Yuan curiously looked at the clothes displayed in the corner.

However, he wasn't foolish enough to touch them; who knew how many deceased had worn those things.

What truly intrigued him were the ceramic jars on the wall cabinet by the door.

He originally thought they were for makeup.

But the Girl brought her own makeup tools.

So what were these jars for?

Lin Yuan curiously took one down, wanting to open it.

But before he could open it, he heard the Girl exclaim, "Don't open it! That's ashes!"

Hearing this, Lin Yuan shivered in fright and almost dropped the jar.

He quickly put it back in its place, clasped his hands together, and kept apologizing, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

The Girl was amused by Lin Yuan's apologetic demeanor and teased, "Don't be scared. Those ashes have been stored here for a long time, and no family has come to collect them. If there were really ghosts, I would have had trouble long ago."
