"Whoa..."

Li De picked up a handful of water and slapped it on his face.

for a while,

He raised his wet face and looked into the mirror.

What appeared in the mirror was the face of a fifteen-year-old young man.

It's been two weeks,

Li De is still not used to seeing his brand-new face, and every time he looks in the mirror, he will have a subconscious pause to prepare his mind.

reach out,

hold cheeks,

Pulled out,

release again,

There were two red marks on his face.

It would be great if I could tear this piece of dough apart, everything in front of me, everything around me, everything in the past half a month, turned into pieces of glass, like waking up from a big dream.

Of course, Li De also knew that this was impossible.

"Snapped!"

Li De slapped his face in the face.

Even if this face looks a lot like Leonardo when he was young,

But when Li De slapped on this face, he still showed no pity, and even felt a little joy.

This slap is not naively to wake up the dream, but to wake up and let the dream continue.

When it comes, be safe.

Li De could only comfort himself like this.

"Dong dong dong... dong dong dong..."

The bathroom door was knocked, and Mina shouted with concern:

"Brother Karen, brother Karen, are you okay?"

Mina is his cousin and the daughter of his uncle Mason.

And Li De's current body also has a name - Karen.

"I'm fine." Li De responded.

"Okay." Mina outside the door breathed a sigh of relief and asked again, "I'll bring you brother's breakfast into the room later."

"No need, Mina, I'll go down to eat later."

Mina outside the door was a little surprised, but immediately said:

"Okay, brother."

Li De continued to stare at himself in the mirror, picked up a cold towel and covered his flushed face.

He was originally a psychiatrist with his own private clinic in Jinling City and a part-time police psychological consultant.

In a hostage kidnapping case, he went to negotiate with the robbers as a negotiator, but an accident happened in the middle. The robbers planned to push the little girl as a hostage out of the rooftop. He quickly stepped forward and dragged the girl back, but He fell down and lost consciousness immediately.

It seems to have been a strange dream for a long time,

When he slowly woke up and opened his eyes, Li De was shocked to find that he was not lying in the ICU ward of the hospital, nor was he surrounded by doctors, but a group of... "foreign friends".

The eldest was his grandfather, Dis Inmelis.

He is his eldest grandson, and when he sees himself waking up, there is relief in his eyes... At the same time, there is an inexplicable meaning.

An uncle over forty, Mason, is happy.

Aunt Mary, Mason's wife, laughed first, then her face darkened, and then she smiled again.

Another older woman, her aunt Winnie, wept with joy.

There are also three children, the uncle and aunt's children are also their cousins, fourteen-year-old Mina and thirteen-year-old Lent, and the other is Aunt Winnie's daughter, thirteen-year-old Chris.

And Li De... no, it's Karen herself, whose parents passed away a few years ago.

The members of this family are like this.

Li De changed the hot towel and put it on his face again. After a long time, he threw off the towel.

In the half month after he woke up, he spent most of the time in bed. On the one hand, his body was indeed very weak, and on the other hand, he needed to digest the memory of this "Karen".

Digesting memory is a wonderful thing, but it did not cause conflict and confusion between himself and the memory of the original owner. For Li De, the memory of the original owner is more like a file stored in a bookcase or a computer file;

He is still Li De, but when needed, he can think about it in detail, like "searching", and he can quickly retrieve the memories belonging to "Karen".

In short,

Since this is the case,

Then face life bravely.

Li De has done his own psychological construction and is ready to face his second life with a positive attitude.

Pushing open the door of the bathroom, a black cat named "Pall" raised at home was lying lazily on the window sill basking in the sun. After seeing Karen, it turned its head out of the window naturally. The manners are full of the arrogance of the cat owner.

Li De paused,

take a deep breath,

murmured:

"Starting today, I'm Karen."

...

Karen walked down the stairs, from the third floor where her room was to the second floor.

The Immelis family lives at No. 13 Minke Street, West District, Luojia City. It is a detached villa with a large garden.

According to the cognition of the previous life, even if Mingke Street does not belong to the core area of ​​Luojia City, it is still within the second ring road.

Imagine owning a single-family villa in a non-suburban second-tier city in the future...

Karen in her last life only dared to think about a row, and she couldn't even reach a double.

This is also what he is very fortunate about now. After crossing over... The family conditions he has traveled to are better, and he can feel a lot more comfortable;

If you transmigrate yourself into a little boy who sells matches,

Oh my gosh, that's the real guilt.

The kitchen and dining room of the Inmelis family are on the second floor, and the first floor is the work area.

Yes, this is a "company", or a "family workshop". This villa is not only the place where the family lives but also one of the means of production.

This family is in the "funeral" business, and the sign on it is "Inmerles Care for the Dead".

Grandpa is the boss. In the family life and the operation of the "company", he is consistent in his words. At the same time, he also works part-time as the priest of the small church at the end of Mingke Street.

Uncle Mason originally worked in the stock exchange, and aunt Mary was a somewhat famous makeup artist in the circle at first, specializing in makeup for celebrities, and she also made a cameo in a few small movies.

Their lives, which should have been at the level of the small and middle class, have long since moved out.

But because Uncle Mason's investment failed, they not only lost their savings, but also lost their real estate, and seemed to be in debt. In the end, Uncle Mason could only bring his wife and a pair of children home to his father... filial piety.

Grandpa didn't say anything about it.

but,

He quickly found a reason to let the original driver and makeup artist go.

In grandfather's words, it is: The Inmelis family does not support idlers.

Uncle Mason is now in charge of driving, um, driving the family hearse, with pals Paul and Ron in charge of picking up the "VIPs".

Aunt Mary continued to speak professionally,

Still putting on make-up,

And you don't have to worry about meeting bad-tempered stars on purpose, and you don't have to worry about receiving a letter of complaint.

Their children, Mina and Lunt, are in middle school.

Aunt Winnie used to be an accountant in a small clothing factory. After she divorced her husband, she returned home with her daughter Chrissy.

Fortunately, the Immelis house is big, even if the basement is for "VIPs" and the first floor is a "mourning place", but there are so many rooms on the second and third floors, enough for so many people in the family.

Karen and cousin Lent originally lived in the same room. Since Karen fell ill, Lent went to sleep with his grandfather on the third floor. In addition, there was a room on the third floor that was his grandfather's office.

There are also three rooms on the second floor, one for my uncle and aunt, one for Aunt Winnie, and one for two cousins.

The atmosphere at home is actually quite good, because grandpa is very majestic, and no one dares to cause any conflicts under his nose.

When she came to the table on the second floor, Mina was helping her mother set the dinner plate.

Aunt Mary saw Karen coming down,

Deliberately sarcastically said:

"My young master, can finally go downstairs to have breakfast without your loyal maid and aunt bringing it to you?"

Aunt Mary is such a person. She has a very poisonous mouth and likes to sarcastic people;

At home, except for her grandfather, she did not dare to offend everyone else, her husband, her children, and her sister-in-law, including Karen, were the objects of her mouth output.

Karen had a warm smile on her face,

Very sincere:

"Thanks to my aunt for taking care of me these days, I was able to recover so quickly."

In "Karen"'s memory, although the aunt's mouth was a bit damaged, she always took care of herself as her two biological children, which meant that she had a knife-like mouth and a tofu heart.

"Forehead……"

Unexpectedly, the eldest nephew, who has always been dull and taciturn and withdrawn, can speak so fluently. Aunt Mary really didn't know how to respond for a while, so she could only curl her lips and say:

"Let's eat."

"good."

Karen sat down at the table.

Breakfast is sandwiches, fried eggs and milk, and some small sausages.

took a bite of the sandwich,

chew slowly,

Although I have only been here for half a month,

But Karen was already missing the duck blood vermicelli soup with three spoons of chili.

At this time,

Car horns blared from outside.

"Your father is back."

Aunt Mary went to the sink to wash her hands, then unbuttoned her apron,

"You guys continue to eat, I'll go see if your father brought me any 'surprises'."

When other husbands go out, they bring a ring or a brand-name bag for extravagance, and bring a bouquet of flowers to give their wives a small surprise;

And Uncle Mason brought back the "remains" for his wife.

For Aunt Mary, the normal death of the body is already a "surprise". She hates those abnormal deaths the most, and it is very troublesome to deal with.

Karen put down his fork, and subconsciously, he thought he was an adult. When something happened at home, it was naturally impossible to sit at the table like the children and continue to eat, so he followed Aunt Mary downstairs.

The space on the first floor is very large, and there is a small high platform with three steps in the southeast corner, which is the "mortuary platform" used to place coffins.

At this time,

The two family members, Paul and Ron, came in with a stretcher covered with a white cloth.

Uncle Mason didn't come down. He regarded himself a little high. Although he had to work under the authority of his father, he was only responsible for driving and rarely touched the remains.

In "Karen"'s impression, although Uncle Mason is unreliable in terms of investment and is considered a loser, in life, he is a very funny and humorous person who treats his family well.

Aunt Mary stepped forward, lifted the white cloth and glanced at it, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

The corpse was of a young man, and the state of death was not frightening, that is, although the corpse was lying flat, his face was turned 90 degrees to the right.

"Frozen to death?" Aunt Mary asked again, "Welfare bill?"

Although it's just winter, and it's not really cold yet, it has already happened from time to time that drunkards or homeless people froze to death on the side of the road.

As for the welfare bill... it is a special fund office set up by the municipal government, educational institutions, charitable organizations, etc., to give a decent funeral to the deceased who have no relatives and friends... that is, no one can pay the funeral expenses.

Welfare bills require multiple funeral homes to take the initiative to win. Basically, they are divided according to the photo area. After layers of exploitation, the profits that really fall into the hands of the funeral home are so thin that they are almost negligible, but the operation of the funeral home can be guaranteed. After all, even if it is not. Even if you start work, you still have to pay wages to the guys at home, right?

Correspondingly, it is easier to handle welfare bills, because there are few relatives and friends to supervise and pick faults;

The body is simply disposed of and placed in the coffin. The grandfather in the priest's robe stands beside the body, and someone sent by the relevant government department takes a few photos for registration, and the end of the month-end allocation.

"Yes, ma'am, I know him, his name is Jeff, and he's an unlucky guy who always loses at poker. Well, I'm even more unlucky, I'm not there every time he goes to the tavern to play," said Ron.

"Madam, there is one more order, we have to go to the Huashuiwan Sanatorium." Paul said.

Aunt Mary immediately reminded loudly: "Let the nurse at the sanatorium take a bath first, otherwise don't pull it back. The old man's shit that was pulled from there last time is scabbed on his body."

"Yes, I understand." Paul immediately assured.

After that, he and Ron exchanged an empty cart and returned to the hearse.

"dudu..."

Uncle Mason, who was sitting in the car with a cigarette in his hand, honked his horn again.

He called out to Karen first:

"My little Karen, it looks like you are recovering well."

"Yes, Uncle," Karen responded.

"Haha, that's great." Immediately, he looked at his wife again and shouted to her, "Darling, I'll come back at noon and want to eat the mince pie you made, which is the only delicacy I love in my life! "

"Go to the toilet to eat, I'm not free!"

Uncle Mason shrugged,

Continue to smile shamelessly:

"Oh, that's another favorite of mine!"

Aunt Mary's face couldn't hold back, she turned her head, and the corners of her mouth trembled.

"Go, darling!"

Mason started the car and left.

Aunt Mary took two deep breaths and reached for the stretcher cart.

Karen naturally came over to give a hand;

Aunt Mary glanced at Karen and didn't move;

Karen looked at her suspiciously.

"Karen, you seem to be a little different from before."

"maybe."

Karen is too lazy to cover up the matter of "traveling". In fact, as a "traverser", the last thing you need to worry about is this. People around you, who will think that your soul has been replaced?

Too crazy!

"Go to the basement."

"Okay, Auntie."

The two aunts and nephews pushed the stretcher cart on which the corpse lay together, passed the corner of the hall on the first floor, and then went down.

The access to the basement is a ramp with a flat transition in the middle.

When pushing down, you have to control the speed to prevent the body from slipping.

"It would be great if there was an elevator," Karen said when he got to the basement, holding the stretcher with a little difficulty.

"The one in the department store?" Aunt Mary scoffed. "Crazy, how expensive is that!"

The basement has only one floor and is divided into three rooms, or functional areas.

A grocery room... It can't actually be called groceries. There are many items that the funeral home needs, and they are neatly stacked.

One was a morgue, and there wasn't a single body in it, and Karen didn't see the freezer in it.

Karen didn't ask why she didn't buy a freezer, because she believed Aunt Mary would reply, "Crazy, how expensive that is!"

However, it can also be seen that the business of the Inmelis family is not very big, and there is no need to "press the goods".

But from another angle, it can be seen that no matter what era, no matter what cultural background, dead people's business...is really making money.

The last room is Aunt Mary's workshop, where she needs to "beautify" the body.

No matter how good-looking a person was in life, when he dies, he will become... ordinary.

Not to mention that there are a lot of non-normal deaths, and the workload is even greater.

In general welfare bills, you only need to take care of your face. No family members will be considered other than others. For large bills, it is the kind of family members who are willing to spend money to do it more delicately. The whole body needs to be cleaned, and even the nails have to be trimmed. After that, whether it is the coffin or the clothes, including the prayer of the priest or even the arrangement of the mourning meeting, etc., we can give you a grade.

Karen helped Aunt Mary push the stretcher into the workshop,

Aunt Mary pulled a chair, sat on it, and put another ashtray on the stretcher cart, almost to Jeff's face.

"Snapped……"

Aunt Mary lit a cigarette, took a breath, and let it out slowly.

Excluding the shortcoming of "bitterness", Aunt Mary is indeed very good-looking. Although she is older now, she is also very charming;

Of course, no matter how beautiful a woman is, it would be difficult for her to be dignified and generous if she was tricked by her own uncle to do this work.

Karen stared at the cigarette in Aunt Mary's hand,

Aunt Mary noticed,

smile,

Pushed the cigarette case towards Karen.

Karen reached out, took it, pulled one out, and picked up the lighter again.

ignite,

Take a breath.

"Cough cough... cough cough... vomit..."

A strong sense of nausea developed, and Karen clutched her chest and began to cough violently.

"Hahaha, hahaha..."

Aunt Mary burst into tears.

This scene was not deliberately pretended by Karen. He was an old smoker in his last life, but this body has never been poisoned by nicotine. Whether it is the body or the brain, at this time, it is very resistant to issue a "reject toxin". warn.

Aunt Mary put out the cigarette,

She checked Jeff's body first, and after confirming that there was no other trauma, she tried to straighten Jeff's face.

You only need to put some makeup on him, and you're done. When the guys come back, put on Jeff's clothes and pull them up. In this weather, even the anti-corrosion process can be lazy.

"Ok?"

Aunt Mary let go of her hand and said to Karen:

"Come and break it, I can't break it."

"okay."

Karen put out the cigarette and reached out, one hand on Jeff's neck and the other on Jeff's right face.

work hard,

work hard,

work hard……

Jeff's face began to slowly return to normal.

But what surprised Karen was that, to be exact, what Aunt Mary, who was standing beside her, couldn't see was that when she tried to break the timing, she clearly noticed that Jeff's body was pushing to the right...

You don't look like you're breaking the face of a dead person, you're more like wrestling with a living person!

This discovery made Karen's heart sink slightly. However, just when he was about to let go, he suddenly found that the strength that was wrestling with him suddenly disappeared. No... After he let go, Jeff's head,

"Squeak..."

He's back on his own!

Jeff's eyes,

open abruptly,

staring at Karen,

His mouth began to wriggle wildly, making a "Xixi Susuo" sound similar to a group of mice gnawing at a wooden board.

Karen subconsciously took two steps back, leaning her back against the wall.

Immediately after,

"Bang" sound,

It was as if someone had hit the back of the head with a shovel.

Karen curled up,

The vision also became blurred,

But he was very resistant to losing control of his surroundings in this situation,

Immediately enduring the severe pain in the back of his head, he raised his head,

in sight,

is red,

Karen staggered back,

As he stepped back, his field of vision began to increase further,

I found that the red I saw was a high-heeled shoe. Above the high-heeled shoe, there was a very high leg, a white leg, and on the opposite side, there was the same huge high-heeled shoe and the upper leg...

Own,

Like a little mouse, standing at the feet of a person.

"Pfft..."

Karen lost her balance and fell to the ground.

He didn't know if it was a dream, or if he was mentally deranged and had hallucinations...

until,

"Bah…"

A puddle of thick liquid fell on him and completely wet his upper body.

Karen slowly raised her head,

he saw,

above yourself,

between these huge legs,

there is a woman's face,

looking at myself with curiosity and a smile,

at the same time,

Between her slightly open lips, saliva dripped from time to time.

"Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss"

The sound of snowflakes mixed with electric current came from nowhere,

A deep and magnetic middle-aged male voice sounded:

"Don't be afraid, this beautiful and charming lady... just craving your body."
