Till death let us meet

Chapter 3 Die Alone (3)

Shen Feng also had no choice but to stare at the old couple.Although I am not afraid of these harmless ghosts, it is quite uncomfortable to wait for these ghosts to wander around at night.

These are some things, but Shen Feng's character is still quite tenacious, and he will not give up this lucrative industry because of this, 360 lines, the number one in every line, he is the number one in the relics sorting industry.

After all, there are not many people working in this industry in China, and even people from other places called Shen Feng to deal with the relics.When he is free, Shen Feng will also take orders from other places.

The old couple were quite peaceful, perhaps because they wanted something from Shen Feng, so they didn't wander around Shen Feng's residence at will, so as not to disturb him.But when Shen Feng got up to take a shower in the morning, he saw the pale faces of the two in the mirror, and still felt that such a stalemate was not a problem.After finishing the relics today, we must get rid of these two old ones.

He dialed the client's phone number, that young man, he checked his name, it was called Shen Le.

"Hi, Mr. Shen, I'm Shen Feng who is in charge of sorting out the relics."

"Yes, that's right. We made an appointment at ten o'clock this morning to sort out the relics. Please remember to go there on time."

"Ok."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Feng glanced at the old couple. The soldiers came to cover up the water and soil, and finally they wanted to take care of you.

The next day was sunny and sunny, and when they arrived at the gate of the community, the guard still recognized Shen Feng and let them in.

Shen Le has a good sense of time and is already waiting downstairs.Seeing Shen Feng and Fatty approaching, he tactfully handed them cigarettes respectively.

Shen Feng refused.

Fatty wanted to accept it, but because of Shen Feng, he still refused.

"Did your unit ask for leave?" Today is not a working day, so Shen Le will naturally ask for leave when he comes back.

"...I'm resigning." Shen Le's eyelids trembled slightly, she held the frame with her right hand, and said in a low voice.

"That's just to relax, and then make plans." Shen Feng didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only say something indifferent.

"Hmm." The other party didn't seem to want to say more.

Shen Feng waved his hand and signaled the fat man to go upstairs.

The fat man took ten folding cartons, tape, scissors, markers and other items, and followed.

When we got to the aisle, the smell of corpses was no longer everywhere like yesterday.

After Shen Le opened the door, she still sat in the corner of the aisle outside like yesterday.

Shen Feng didn't say anything, and walked in wearing a mask.

Although the smell is not exhausted inside, it is almost the same.

The fat man unfolded the cardboard box and glued it up with tape, while Shen Feng started to organize things.All the clothes of the two old people were sorted out and put in a cardboard box. When it was full, it was marked with a marker pen, and then sealed with tape.

Some sheets and bedding that were stained with filthy liquid had to be thrown away. Shen Feng prepared thickened garbage bags and packed them all up.Out-of-date calendars, mountains of old newspapers, and leftover dishes that haven't been cleaned in time are just some of the things that need to be thrown out.

What can be called relics is probably the passbook with a small amount in the unlocked drawer, a few bank-bank-cards of unknown amount, and ID cards and other things.Shen Feng sealed them in envelopes and prepared to hand them over to the client.The ID card of the deceased is very important, and it may be useful when it comes to receiving money from the bank-bank-card in the future and going through some procedures.

Once the ID card of the deceased is lost or invalidated, when the time comes to go to the bank, you can only use the death certificate to get the money, which is quite troublesome, and there are quite a few cases where notarization is required or even notarization is not possible.

When tidying up the old man's clothes, he accidentally found a dozen banknotes in the middle of the clothes that the old man had put in a plastic bag. Shen Feng estimated that there were tens of thousands of banknotes.He also put it away in an envelope.

When the packing was almost done, Shen Feng looked at it, and there should be nothing worth packing, so he handed the envelope containing the belongings to Shen Le.

"Mr. Shen, here are the cash and passbook we found in the house, as well as your parents' ID cards. Please keep them safe." Shen Feng handed the envelope to Shen Le for him to have a look.

"Excuse me, have you seen the real estate certificate?" Shen Le asked after flipping through the envelope.

"The words just now probably didn't exist, maybe it was missed somewhere else, you can look for it carefully at that time, by the way," Shen Feng thought for a while, and asked, "Does the relic need to be disinfected?"

"Disinfection?" Shen Le was a little confused.

"For example, some books in your father's collection can be disinfected if necessary, so that the smell and bacteria can be killed, and there is no problem in continuing to collect them in the future." Shen Feng explained.

"Okay, please sterilize for me, the book still needs to be kept." Shen Le raised his head slightly, and there seemed to be fog behind his glasses.

"Understood, then you can take our car and go back to the institute later. After disinfection, I will take the relics with you and send them back to your current residence." Shen Feng nodded and said.

Shen Le's lips moved twice, as if she wanted to say something.

"Brother Shen! I found the real estate certificate and some gold utensils, you can bring them to the client!" Fatty's voice came from the room.

Shen Feng greeted Shen Le with a nod of his head, and then entered the room again.

"Where did you find it?"

"On the top of the chest of drawers, there's a biscuit box." The fat man said carelessly.

The paint on the round biscuit box is almost peeled off, and the words "Shanghai Evergreen" can barely be seen clearly.Shen Feng had eaten it when he was a child, it seemed to be a slightly salty scallion oil biscuit, with a ten thousand year green grass printed on the biscuit.

He directly gave the biscuit box to Shen Le, opened the lid of the box, and asked Shen Le to check the contents.Shen Le pursed her lips, picked up the jewelry inside with slightly trembling hands, and then took out the real estate certificate to look through it.

"Thank you, it's the real estate certificate here." He covered his mouth, and tears fell silently.Shen Feng saw a piece of gray hair stuck on the golden necklace in his hand, it must be the necklace his mother often wears.

"My condolences." Shen Feng patted him on the shoulder.No matter how many times this happens, he still won't get used to it.Farewell to life and death, there is still a chance to see you again, and farewell to death is really a farewell.

The dead souls of the two old men are still looking at their grieving son, their pale faces showing a sad expression, they cannot be seen or touched, this is their current state.

Shen Feng could only watch from the side, such a helpless scene.Even if you can see it, you can't build a bridge of communication for them. Powerlessness is his current portrayal.He could only turn around and go back to the room to continue sorting out the relics.

Fatty's hands and feet are quite nimble, and all the relics are almost sorted out.After Shen Feng went in and confirmed some items to Shen Le again and again, some of them chose to keep them, and some chose to discard them.They also found a small iron box, but there was an old copper lock hanging on the outside of the small iron box, and no key was found.

Shen Feng felt that there might be something important inside, so he handed over the iron box to Shen Le.

In the end, what I chose to discard was also filled with three 55-liter large garbage bags.The client, Shen Le, threw the garbage bag to the garbage dump together with the two.

Then the three of them moved down the relics bit by bit. Fortunately, there were not too many things, so it didn't take much time to move them all.

The tidied room became empty, and the traces of the old people's lives gradually disappeared.Shen Le stood at the door of the empty room, wondering what she was thinking.In the end, the only trace left by the old man in this world is the yellow-brown human-shaped mark in the room.

Bang, the door closed behind the three of them, as if separating the two worlds.

"Get in the car." Shen Feng said to Shen Le.

Shen Le nodded, opened the sliding door on the side of the van, and the cat stepped into the car.Avoiding the placed cardboard boxes, he found an empty seat and sat down.

"Brother Shen, you should get a pretty high salary in Shangcheng, right?" the fat man asked suddenly.

"It's okay, it's about 2 a month, but the rent is [-], and there are meals and transportation expenses. In fact, there is not much left." Shen Le replied with a wry smile.

"Twenty thousand is still quite a lot. In our small town, more than two thousand is almost the same..." The fat man swallowed. No wonder Brother Shen refused to come back to work. How could such a high salary of twenty thousand be earned in a small third-tier city.

Having said that, in fact, he can get a similar salary now, but the work is so hard that he can't stand the smell every day.And look at his gentle brother Shen, he seems to be engaged in a clean and respectable industry.

"You're actually willing to resign..." Fatty couldn't help muttering.

"Fatty!" Shen Feng stopped the fatty from continuing to talk nonsense.He can probably think of Fatty's psychology, but his parents just passed away, and it was because he was working outside that he didn't find out in time. If he continues to be so careless and messes with him, what should he do?The other half of the fee has not been recovered.

The cabin became silent, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.Fortunately, it is not far from the office here, so we will arrive soon.

The five boxes of relics were put into a large vertical disinfection cabinet by Shen Feng one by one for disinfection.This was specially purchased by Shen Feng for disinfection, and the huge [-] liter disinfection cabinet also brought considerable convenience to his work.

As long as the relics that want to be preserved, the consignor generally requires disinfection.By the way, Shen Feng could charge another fee, killing two birds with one stone.

Having said that, I don't know what the occupations of the two old people are, but there are really a lot of books.And it's quite messy, there are all kinds of books, and there are some thread-bound books that look quite old.

There was a book in it, as if it was on the verge of falling, Shen Feng picked it up to prevent it from falling.This is a book called "The History of Tofu", which is thread-bound and quite old, the whole book is yellowed, and it even smells stale.

With a click, a small brass key fell out of the book.

key?Shen Feng raised his head subconsciously, the expressions of the two old people became a little excited, and they were all staring at the key.

Could it be that there is something mysterious about this key, Shen Feng was a little excited, maybe the opportunity to get rid of the souls of the two old men lies in the key.He recalled the iron box with a lock that he had given to Shen Le before.

"Mr. Shen, I found a key in a book just now, take a look, is it the key to the iron box from before." Shen Feng took the key and handed it to Shen Le.

Shen Le took the key and took out the iron box. It looked like a candy box, and it seemed to be older than the Wannianqing biscuit box, even the words were blurred.

The dead souls of the old couple looked on with a little sadness, and their son slowly opened the dusty box.
