Chapter 648: Just Today

"Miss Iblu, are all Demon Sword Maidens forged with people?"

After the Hundred Ghost team left for a distance, Dorothy looked at the Chi Ying hanging at her waist and finally couldn't help but ask the Oiran lady beside her.

"Hmm, that is indeed the case."

Iblu Yongyi didn't avoid it either, she...

"I am a loser, I hardly pay attention to whether the sun is shining or not, because there is no time.

"My parents couldn't provide me with support, my education wasn't high, and I was alone in the city looking for a future.

"I found many jobs, but none of them hired me. Maybe no one likes someone who is not good at speaking, doesn't like to communicate, and hasn't shown enough ability.

"I only ate two pieces of bread for three whole days. Hunger made me unable to sleep at night. Fortunately, I paid the rent for a month in advance and could continue to live in that dark basement, without having to go outside to endure the unusually cold wind of winter.

"Finally, I found a job, guarding the night at the hospital, guarding the morgue.

"The night at the hospital was colder than I imagined. The wall lamps in the corridor were not lit, and it was dim everywhere. I could only rely on the little light that penetrated from the room to help me see under my feet.

"The smell there was very unpleasant. From time to time, the dead were stuffed into body bags and sent over, and we cooperated to help move them into the morgue.

"This is not a very good job, but at least it allows me to afford bread. The free time at night can also be used for study. After all, no one is willing to come to the morgue unless there are corpses that need to be sent or transported for cremation. Of course, I don't have enough money to buy books yet, and I don't see any hope of saving money for the time being.

"I have to thank my predecessor colleague. If it weren't for his sudden resignation, I might not have been able to get such a job.

"I dream of being able to rotate to be responsible for the day. Now I always sleep when the sun comes out and wake up after the night comes, which makes my body a bit weak, and my head occasionally throbs with pain.

"One day, the mover sent a new corpse.

"I heard from others that this is my former colleague who resigned suddenly.

"I was a bit curious about him. After everyone left, I pulled out the cabinet and quietly opened the body bag.

"He was an old man, his face was blue and white, full of wrinkles, and he looked very scary under the very dim light.

"He didn't have much hair, most of it was white, and all his clothes were taken off, not even a piece of cloth was left for him.

"I saw a strange mark on his chest, blue-black, I can't describe the specific appearance, the light at that time was really too dim.

"I reached out and touched the mark, nothing special.

"Looking at this former colleague, I was thinking, if I keep going like this, when I get old, will I be the same as him...

"I said to him, tomorrow I will accompany him to the crematorium and personally take his ashes to the nearest free cemetery, so that those who are responsible for these things don't find it troublesome and just find a river or a wasteland to throw them away.

"This will sacrifice one morning of my sleep, but fortunately, it will be Sunday soon, so I can make up for it.

"After saying that, I fixed the body bag and stuffed it back into the cabinet.

"The light in the room seemed to be even dimmer...

"After that day, every time I sleep, I always dream of a thick fog.

"I have a premonition that something will happen soon, a premonition that sooner or later something that I don't know if it can be called a person will come to find me, but no one is willing to believe me, thinking that in such an environment and such a job, my spirit has become abnormal and I need to see a doctor..."

A male guest sitting at the bar looked at the narrator who suddenly stopped:

"And then?"

This male guest is in his thirties, wearing a brown tweed jacket and light yellow trousers, his hair is pressed very flat, and there is a simple dark round hat by his hand.

He looks ordinary, like most people in the tavern, black hair, light blue eyes, not good-looking, not ugly, lacking obvious features.

And the narrator in his eyes is a young man of eighteen or nineteen, with a tall figure and slender limbs, also with short black hair and light blue eyes, but with deep features, which can make people's eyes shine.

The young man looked at the empty glass in front of him and sighed:

"And then?

"Then I resigned and returned to the countryside to brag to you here."

As he spoke, a smile appeared on his face, a smile with a bit of teasing.

The male guest was stunned for a moment:

"What you just said was bragging?"

"Haha." A burst of laughter erupted around the bar.

The laughter subsided slightly, and a thin middle-aged man looked at the slightly embarrassed guest and said:

"Outsider, you actually believe Lu Mian's story. What he tells every day is different. Yesterday he was still a loser whose engagement was broken by his fiancée because of poverty, and today he became a corpse guard!"

"Yes, saying something about thirty years on the east side of the Sailunzuohe River, thirty years on the right side of the Sailunzuohe River, only knowing how to talk nonsense!" Another tavern regular followed.

They are all farmers in Kordu, a large village, wearing short jackets that are black, gray, or brown.

The black-haired young man called Lu Mian supported the bar with both hands, stood up slowly, and said with a smile:

"You know, this is not a story I made up, it was all written by my sister. She likes writing stories the most, and she is also a columnist for the 'Novel Weekly'."

After speaking, he turned his body, spread his hands to the visiting guest, and smiled brilliantly:

"It seems she writes really well.

"Sorry, I made you misunderstand."

The man in the brown tweed jacket with an ordinary appearance was not angry, stood up, and responded with a smile:

"A very interesting story.

"How should I address you?"

"Isn't it common sense to introduce yourself before asking others?" Lu Mian smiled.

The guest from out of town nodded:

"My name is Ryan Kesi.

"These two are my companions, Valentine and Liya."

The latter sentence refers to a man and a woman sitting next to him.

The man is twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with some powder on his yellow hair, and his eyes, which are not big, have a color deeper than lake blue. He is wearing a white vest, a blue fine wool coat, and black trousers, and he had clearly dressed up carefully before going out.

He looked quite indifferent and didn't look much at the farmers and herdsmen around him.

The woman looked younger than the two men, with a head of light gray long hair tied into a complex bun, wrapped in a white veil as a hat.

Her eyes were the same color as her hair, and her gaze toward Lu Mian carried undisguised laughter, and she seemed to find what just happened only interesting.

Under the light of the tavern's gas wall lamp, this woman named Liya revealed a pretty nose and beautifully curved lips, which definitely counts as a beauty in a countryside like Kordu village.

She was wearing a white unpleated cashmere tight skirt, with a beige small jacket and a pair of Ma Xier long boots. There were also two small silver bells tied to her veil and boots respectively. When she walked into the tavern just now, she was ding-dong all the way, which was very eye-catching, making many men stare straight.

In their eyes, this must be the fashionable dress only found in big cities like the provincial capital Bigeer or the capital Trill.

Lu Mian nodded to the three outsiders:

"My name is Lu Mian Li, you can call me Lu Mian directly."

"Li?" Liya blurted out.

"What's wrong, is there any problem with my surname?" Lu Mian asked curiously.

Ryan Kesi explained for Liya:

"Your surname is terrifying. I almost couldn't control my voice just now."

Seeing that the farmers and herdsmen around were puzzled, he further explained:

"People who have been in contact with sailors and sea merchants all know that there is such a saying circulating on the Five Seas:

"I would rather encounter those pirate generals or even kings than meet someone named Frank Li.

"That person's surname is also Li."

"Is he very scary?" Lu Mian asked.

Ryan shook his head:

"I don't know, but since there is such a legend, it certainly won't be bad."

He stopped the topic and said to Lu Mian:

"Thank you for your story, it is worth a drink, what do you want?"

"A glass of 'Green Fairy'." Lu Mian didn't be polite at all and sat down again.

Ryan Kesi frowned slightly:

"'Green Fairy'... Absinthe?

"I think I need to remind you that absinthe is harmful to the human body. This kind of wine may cause mental confusion and make you hallucinate."

"I didn't expect the fashion trend of Trill to have spread here." Liya on the side added with a smile.

Lu Mian said "Oh":

"So Trill people also like to drink 'Green Fairy'...

"For us, life is already hard enough, there is no need to care about a little more harm. This kind of wine can make our spirits get greater relaxation."

"Okay." Ryan sat back in his seat and looked at the bartender, "A glass of 'Green Fairy', and add a glass of 'Spicy Heart' for me."

"Spicy Heart" is a famous fruit shochu.

"Why don't you give me a glass of 'Green Fairy' too? I was the one who told you the truth just now, and I can tell you the situation of this kid exactly!" The thin middle-aged man who first exposed Lu Mian for telling stories every day shouted dissatisfiedly, "Outsider, I can see that you are still suspicious of the truth of that story!"

"Pierre, for a free drink, you really can do anything!" Lu Mian responded loudly.

Before Ryan made a decision, Lu Mian added:

"Why can't I tell it myself? That way I can drink another glass of 'Green Fairy'?"

"Because they don't know whether to believe the situation you said." The middle-aged man named Pierre laughed triumphantly, "The story your sister loves to tell children most is 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf'. People who always lie will inevitably lose their credit."

"Okay." Lu Mian shrugged his shoulders, watching the bartender push a glass of pale green wine in front of him.

Ryan looked at him and consulted:

"Is it okay?"

"No problem, as long as your wallet is enough to pay for these drinks." Lu Mian didn't care at all.

"Then another glass of 'Green Fairy'." Ryan nodded.

Pierre was full of smiles:

"Generous outsider, this kid is the biggest prankster in the village, you must stay away from him.

"Five years ago, he was brought back to the village by his sister Aoluoer and never left again. You think, before that, he was only thirteen years old, how could he go to the hospital to be a corpse guard? Hmm, the nearest hospital to us is in Dalie, at the foot of the mountain, which takes a whole afternoon to walk."

"Brought back to the village?" Liya asked keenly.

She tilted her head slightly, bringing out a ding-dong sound.

Pierre nodded:

"Then, he followed Aoluoer's surname 'Li', and even the name 'Lu Mian' was taken by Aoluoer."

"I forgot what my original name was." Lu Mian drank a sip of absinthe and said with a smile.

It seems that he is not inferior or ashamed at all that his past was exposed like this. ===== CHAPTER 649 =====
