Chapter 13: Registration
"Is this the same as a resume? I don't know how much simpler it is!" Cao Muwen said with joy in his heart.
It was difficult to find out where he was born in ancient times, and officials were too lazy to check such things and write them in a decent way. Specific editing is fine. Cao Muwen was even more proud, "It's my proud skill to lie." When you catch the pen, it is the dragon flying and the phoenix dance, full of the ultimatum. What origin, origin, and how my parents have all written all? They don't want to be miserable, but only want ordinary mediocrity, so that people are not suspicious. Cao Muwen slightly adapted his original resume and made it into an ancient version of the job resume. In order to be realistic, I added fuel and vinegar to my childhood experience, just to prove that I have been a decent Ming "good citizen" since I was a child.
"It's not 'crossing' out of thin air!"
After writing it, I returned it to the chief official. Before leaving, I didn't forget to explain that I must be conscientious and keep myself safe. After finishing the business, the two came out. Although Cao Muwen was a little relaxed, on second thought, it seemed that he had tied the brand of this 'work', which meant that it would not fade for life.
I didn't expect that something suddenly happened at this time.
A government ward suddenly ran over and shouted when he saw Lao Wu, "La Wu, there was a human death at the west entrance of the village. Zhang sent me to ask you to go there quickly!" I was just looking for you at your house. I didn't expect you to be here!"
As soon as Lao Wu saw that it was a business, he did not dare to delay, so he followed the servant out of the door, and Cao Muwen also followed him when he saw the situation. But as soon as I arrived at the door, I panicked.
"Oh, I forgot to bring my wooden box. Today, I came to register my new apprenticeship, but I didn't expect that there would be a test today.
"Don't worry, old man, I'll get it. You and this servant go first. I'll be there later." Cao Muwen said as soon as he thought that the wooden box was still on the table.
"Well," Lao Wu agreed, and then hurriedly followed the servant away.
When Cao Muwen ran to the entrance of the West Village with a wooden box on his back, he found that the general government official was pressing a man back, with shackles on his wrists, and was being pulled away by the servant step by step. The man lowered his head and did not say anything. Cao Muwen was surprised before, and now he knew that this must be the "murderer". Looking back, two servants were carrying a pair of stretchers to follow the person in front of them. There was a man lying on the stretcher, with white cloth covering his head and only his feet exposed. Cao Muwen knew at a glance that this man had died and could not be saved. Another person was crying and grabbing the world. Looking carefully, she was a middle-aged woman. She couldn't see her specific appearance clearly, and only heard her shouting, "What can I do this! Oh, I'm such a miserable man!" And so on.
In a blink of an eye, when he saw Wu Kui also following, Cao Muwen ran over. As soon as the other party saw him, he hurried over.
"Nephew, I have to go to Yizhuang for an autopsy later. You can also go and have a look. It's also easy to learn. Wu Kui said.
Ah! What~~Yizhuang? Isn't it just a morgue!? Cao Muwen's heart suddenly shook, and there was a cold sweat. In order not to show timidity in front of Wu Kui, he immediately settled down and said:
"Well, okay," he continued to ask, "What's going on?"
After asking, I learned that the deceased was an ordinary farmer in the village. As soon as he came back from the field today and was walking at the entrance of the village, he was suddenly knocked over by a galloping carriage and was swept into the horse's hoof. When the driver stopped the carriage and saw the man No way. Fortunately, someone saw this scene by the roadside, and someone quickly reported to the official. The driver still wanted to run, but he didn't run because someone was watching. After Kui came this afternoon, he felt that he was not injured, but should be an autopsy. If a person dies, he should take Yizhuang and go to Yizhuang with his tools for inspection. Wu Kui didn't say much about the rest. Anyway, he was just a villain. He just wanted to inquire about the matter of handling the case by the free county magistrate and catch the head.
At the intersection, Cao and the two were separated from the large army. Zhang and a group of government officials pressed the prisoner to temporarily take them in custody, and waited for the old man to be interrogated in person. Cao Muwen and Lao Wu and two other government officials carrying stretchers carried their bodies together to Yizhuang, located halfway north of the village.
Far away, Cao Muwen saw a big house sitting halfway up the mountain, which was gray, which made people feel creepy. Looking closer, I found that the windows in Yizhuang were all sealed and could not be opened, and the paper on the windows was also sticky and hard, so it was difficult for the sunlight to penetrate.
As soon as you enter the door, you will get goose bumps. After the two servants put down their bodies again, they immediately left without returning their heads. Cao Muwen stared at their back fiercely. I don't know if they suddenly felt a chill behind their back.
Cao Muwen felt it. Hey hey, dead people are nothing. However, so many dead people in the same room at the same time still bring some psychological pressure to Cao Muwen, who is self-respecting for his strong psychological quality.
I feel that my limbs are cold. Cao Muwen muttered in his heart and slowly approached the life that was alive not long ago. Lao Wu was next to the table, turning over the things in the wooden box.
Ancient autopsy does not require modern forensic autopsy. Like a general fight, the inspection method is relatively simple. And the autopsy is much more complicated, because the Chinese attach great importance to the dignity of people after death and cannot cause any damage to the corpse. It is unimaginable to put it into ancient times by modern forensic anatomy, because this is a great disrespect to the dead, and the customs and ethics do not allow it at all, so the detailed The inspection results are reported to the superiors for reference in the case. Therefore, he should know a lot of professional knowledge, be proficient in anatomy and pharmacology, know where the meridian injury will endanger which organs, and what kind of poison will appear.
For example, most of the tools in the old noon wooden box are useless, only tweezers, silver rods and other objects are commonly available. Such as sharp knives can only be used when there is no way to open the autopsy.
Like this deceased.
Wu Kui came forward to untie his clothes, exposed his whole chest, and raised his hand to greet Cao Muwen to come forward to help. When he came closer, he saw that the poor deceased's chest was already blue and purple, showing bruises. And because most of them have died, the bruises on the bodies have changed from purple to dark purple.
"Alas," Cao Muwen looked at the deceased, sighed slightly, and thought, whether it was ancient or modern. We are all like this. In the face of flying disasters, we are all so vulnerable. In front of him is such a vivid example. Although he did not know him, Cao Muwen thought that this person might have been staying at home with his wife and children at this time yesterday. His wife may be cooking dinner by the stove, and he may be teasing his lovely child, but now, in today's At that time, he could only lie here, lying in this gloomy room, without a warm dinner and a warm family. Yes, it's just~~~ empty? Cao Muwen thought so. There is a strange feeling in my heart. It seems that you can see yourself when you see this person.
"Didn't I also 'dead'? You should understand the feeling of death. Cao Muwen would think of this. The feeling of emptiness, as if everything was separated from me, and I was like floating in the endless void. Then~~, suddenly, a scene flashed through his mind, which surprised Cao Muwen. A touch of green, is it coming again? It's a little nostalgic.
"Nephew? Oh, why can't you stand it?" Wu Kui saw Cao Muwen staring at the brux on the body and did not move. He was out of balance when he saw this kind of thing for the first time!
Ah! What? Cao Muwen was called, but he suddenly came to his senses. Turn your head and look at Lao Wu.
Lao Wu said to Cao Muwen with a "I understand you" expression, "Uh~~, virtuous nephew, the body has been experienced. What do you think? Come to my place in the evening. I also want to tell you more about the changes in the body, er~~ Let's have dinner together in the evening. Buy some more vegetables on the way. Lao Wu said it sly.
"Well, okay." Cao Muwen settled down and replied.
Lao Wu saw that Cao Muwen quickly returned to the normal dark color, and he thought that his mind was strong, and he quickly adapted to the situation of the dead. Then I thought of seeing the dead for the first time in Yizhuang when I was young. At that time, he almost vomited and made several meals. In my heart, I admire this young man who seems to have no power to bind chickens, but has a quick mind and strong psychological quality. But he knew that Cao Muwen had been exercising his psychological quality for several years. Although he did not deal with the dead, he could not find it.
Wukui also said that Cao Mu's literary career was successful.
As a student, my days are still leisurely and comfortable, although sometimes I have to go to Yizhuang. But it is impossible for human beings to die every day. Most of the time, they go out to work with the "noon teacher" and are ordinary jobs to check the injury. Cao Muwen was also used to it, so that he was a little happy.
Because Wu Kui has never accepted Cao Muwen as his apprentice and only recognized him as his successor. Now he is just teaching him. Let's be regarded as "Mr.", so he called Cao Muwen his student.
"Ha ha, I didn't expect that I was old, but I was a student. If I can, I seem to be a teacher from the school." Sometimes the old man can't help thinking so. Cao Muwen accepted such a title relationship.
The days go on like this day by day, but it's quite a pleasant atmosphere. Cao Muwen has already made a book in the government. Although he is only an apprentice now, he can still get some monthly money from the government office every month. Naturally, it is pitifully small. All of them are only enough to pay the rent. Other daily expenses, food and clothing, are completely dependent on "sir". It is indispensable to eat and drink every day. However, Fortunately, Wu Kui not only didn't care at all, but also was very happy. It is inevitable to be lonely when people live to this age. It is already satisfying to have this little apprentice now. Cao Muwen didn't care about eating and drinking at all. He should have never thought of being embarrassed.
Sometimes, Cao Muwen also went to visit Wei Manliang. The first time I went there, I thanked Brother Wei for his stay and went empty-handed. It is said that he only came to visit and then went back, but what happened when he came for dinner? Of course, Cao Muwen still only felt a little shameless in his heart. The trace in my heart disappeared in an instant.
Wei Manliang was still so simple that he didn't care at all, so he invited Cao Muwen to dinner.
