   "Kill your father!" My grandfather flicked the ash from his cigarette and said calmly to Wang Haisheng. "Huh?!" Wang Haisheng was startled by my grandfather's words, dropping the butcher knife and the foot basin to the ground. "What did you say?" After regaining his senses, he gasped and asked my grandfather in a hesitant voice. "I said kill your father!" My grandfather repeated his words with certainty. "But... But murder is illegal!" Wang Haisheng shuddered and muttered weakly. "Who told you to kill someone else? I told you to kill your father. Oh well, never mind, I'll do it myself!" With that, my grandfather picked up the butcher knife and the foot basin from the ground, then turned and walked towards the old man step by step. With each step my grandfather took closer, the old man on the bed struggled more, until finally he slammed his fist against the bed with a "bang, bang" sound, and his children could no longer hold him down. "Dust to dust, ashes to ashes, all causes and effects lead to the path of rebirth. I, by the decree of the Yinshan Dharma Master, guide your soul. You committed sins in life, and will enter the underworld after death. Quickly, let your dead soul be delivered! Quickly, let your dead soul be delivered! Zhang Wulang, the altar-turner, hasten as the law commands!" My grandfather chanted the incantation, then shoved the foot basin under the old man's bed with a clatter, and then threw the pig-slaughtering knife into the basin, placing it with the blade horizontally. "Old Wang, on your way!"

    The rain in Bianjing always seems to fall at an inopportune time. @DouchengBaye It's already early summer, a time when pomegranate blossoms should be in full bloom and gentle breezes should be blowing, but this rain seems to have been falling continuously since Qingming Festival, carrying an indelible chill that seeps into the bones. I sit on the threshold of the mortuary, fiddling with a string of copper coins, listening to the sound of raindrops hitting the roof tiles, tinkling and clanging like a death knell. Outside the mortuary, three miles west of Bianjing, it's so remote that even stray dogs don't want to linger. I'm an apprentice coroner here, nominally the last disciple of Song Ci, the chief judicial officer, but in reality, I'm just using the old man's name to beg for a living among these corpses. The old man Song Ci has long since retired, leaving me only a yellowed copy of "The Washing Away of Wrongs" and a sentence before he left: "The dead are paramount, the living are for profit." The first half is for fooling ghosts, the second half is for fooling people. I counted the copper coins in my hand; it totaled three hundred and twenty coins. Three coins too short wouldn't be enough to buy the roast goose tonight, and three coins too much wouldn't be enough to pay for tomorrow's drinks. Just as I was pondering whether to take the jade pendant from the unclaimed corpse in the corner to pay off the debt, there was a knock on the door.
