Chapter 15 "The Corpse Man" ([-])
On this day, Ah Kun got up early, sat at home as usual and waited for the 'business' to come to his door.Sure enough, not long after, the doorbell rang.

He opened the door and saw a ragged old lady standing outside, he couldn't help frowning.

"Excuse me, are you the 'corpse hunter' Akun?" the old man asked cautiously.

"Well..." Akun nodded slightly.

"That's great." After receiving Akun's affirmative answer, the old man couldn't restrain his joy, "Then can I trouble you to help me fish out the body of my drowned granddaughter." At this point , the old man burst into tears.

"Yes..." Akun looked at the old man's shabby clothes again, and then continued, "But..."

"Oh, I understand, I won't work hard for you in vain." The old man quickly understood what Akun meant, tremblingly took out a paper bag from his jacket pocket, and opened it carefully layer by layer. Inside was a stack of Old and old banknotes, denominations are 5 yuan and 10 yuan.

Akun visually inspected the wad of banknotes, and found that there were at most 100 yuan. Seeing this, he couldn't help frowning again.

Sensing Akun's expression, the old man said embarrassedly: "Young man, I know this money is a little short, but our family's conditions are not good, so please help me."

100 yuan is really too little. Every time I go to pick up the corpse, outsiders seem very relaxed. In fact, only I know that I am risking my life every time. It is not worth it to risk my life for a mere 100 yuan, and it is already late autumn. Yes, the river water is very cold. It is said that it is 100 yuan, even if it is one or two thousand, you have to think twice.Thinking of this, Akun replied: "Grandma, it's not that I don't help, but you also know that I rely on this for a living, and your money is really too little."

"I know this, but the child's parents died early, and only our grandparents and grandchildren depended on each other in the family. I barely survived on my little social security. Originally, the child was about to graduate from college and work. I hoped that the conditions would be good. The improvement has been made, but because the boyfriend broke up with her, that silly child committed suicide for a while..." At this point, the old man almost broke down in tears, and after sobbing repeatedly, he continued intermittently, "So you should be Have pity on me, the lonely old woman."

Seeing the grief-stricken look of the old man, Akun's heart was slightly shaken, but he calmed down soon: "I'm sorry, this is the rule. If the money is too little, everyone will be like this in the future, and I will not be able to live. "

Faced with the old man's repeated entreaties, Akun hardened his heart and ruthlessly refused, and then closed the door, allowing the old man to kneel outside and cry loudly.

I don't know how long it took, but the old man outside the door finally understood that Akun was determined not to help, so he wiped his tears with his sleeve, and cursed resentfully at the door: "It is said that you are a young man who is enthusiastic and helpful. , but it turned out to be a snob who fell into the eyes of money, I was blind and begged you. You rely on dead bodies to make money, and you will be punished one day sooner or later!" Just like that, the old man cursed and left.

Akun was lying on the bed, listening to the scolding voices going away, recalling that at the beginning, he really helped the young woman to find the corpse out of sympathy. After a few months, how did he become like this?Really reduced to the point where people get rich.

But soon, a voice deep in his heart began to comfort him: to act bravely should be done according to one's ability.It's true that you're exposing someone to death, but that's what you earn every time you work hard, no matter what others say.In this way, his eager conscience was finally suppressed, and he began to feel at ease with his actions.
