Chapter 442: Tracing the Source
"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 academic qualifications are not high, and I am alone in the city looking for the future.
"I found many jobs, but I couldn't be hired. Maybe no one likes someone who is not good at speaking, doesn't love communication, 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 a month's rent in advance and could continue to live in that dark basement, without having to go outside to endure the abnormally cold wind in 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 lamp in the corridor was not lit, and it was dim everywhere. I could only rely on the little light that penetrated from the room to help me see my feet.
"The smell there was very unpleasant. From time to time, the deceased were stuffed into body bags and sent over. We cooperated to help him move 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 away for cremation. Of course, I don't have enough money to buy books yet, and I can't see the hope of saving money at the moment.
"I have to thank my predecessor colleague. If it weren't for his sudden resignation, I might not even have been able to get such a job.
"I dream of being able to rotate to be responsible for the daytime. Now I always sleep when the sun comes out and get up after the night comes, which makes my body a bit weak, and my head occasionally has sharp pain.
"One day, the mover sent a new corpse.
"Listening to others, this is my former colleague who suddenly resigned.
"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 his clothes were all taken off, leaving not even a piece of cloth 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 that 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 throw them in a river or a wasteland.
"This will sacrifice one morning of my sleep, but fortunately, it will be Sunday soon, and I can make up for it.
"After saying that sentence, 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 human will come to find me, but no one is willing to believe me, feeling 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 he has a simple dark round top hat by his hand.
He looks ordinary, like most people in the tavern, with 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, slender limbs, also with short black hair, light blue eyes, but with deep features, which can make people's eyes shine.
This young man looked at the empty wine glass in front of him, sighed and said:
"And then?

"Then I resigned and returned to the countryside, and came here to brag with you."
As he spoke, a smile appeared on his face, a smile with a bit of teasing meaning.
That male guest was stunned for a moment:
"Are you bragging about what you just said?"
"Haha." A burst of laughter erupted around the bar.
The laughter stopped 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 morgue guard!"
"Yes, saying thirty years on the east side of the Sailunzuohe, thirty years on the right side of the Sailunzuohe, only knowing how to talk nonsense!" Another tavern regular followed.
They are all farmers in this large village of Kordu, wearing short jackets that are black, gray, or brown.
The black-haired young man named 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 some 'Novel Weekly'."
After speaking, he turned his body sideways, spread his hands to the guest from outside, and smiled brilliantly:
"It seems she wrote it really well. Star Literature Reading
"Sorry, let you misunderstand."
The man wearing a brown tweed jacket and looking ordinary was not angry, stood up, and responded with a smile:
"Very interesting story.
"How to address you?"
"Isn't it common sense to introduce yourself before asking others?" Lu Mian smiled.
That guest from outside nodded:
"My name is Ryan Cos.
"These two are my companions Valentine and Leah."
The latter sentence refers to a man and a woman sitting next to them. Star Literature Reading
The man is twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with a little 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 tweed jacket, and black trousers, and he was clearly carefully dressed before going out.
.... He looked quite indifferent and didn't look much at the farmers and herdsmen around him.
That woman looked younger than the two men, with a head of light gray long hair tied into a complex bun, and a piece of white veil wrapped around it as a hat.
Her eyes were the same color as her hair, and her gaze towards Lu Mian carried undisguised laughter. She seemed to find what just happened only interesting.
Under the gas wall lamp of the tavern, this woman named Leah revealed a tall nose and lips with beautiful curves, which is definitely a beauty in the countryside like Kordu Village.
She was wearing a white pleated cashmere tight skirt, with a beige small jacket and a pair of Ma Xier long boots. The veil and boots were also tied with two small silver bells respectively. When she walked into the tavern just now, it was ding-dong all the way, which was very eye-catching, making many men look straight.
In their eyes, this must be a fashionable dress that only big cities like Bigor, the provincial capital, and Trier, the capital, have.
Lu Mian nodded to the three outsiders:
"My name is Lu Mian Lee, you can call me Lu Mian directly."
"Lee?" Leah blurted out. Star Literature Reading
"What's wrong, is there any problem with my surname?" Lu Mian asked curiously.
Ryan Cos explained for Leah:
"This surname makes people afraid. I almost couldn't control my voice just now."
Seeing that the farmers and herdsmen around were puzzled, he further explained:
"Those who have been in contact with sailors and sea merchants all know that there is such a saying circulating on the Five Seas:
"Rather encounter those pirate generals and even kings than encounter a person named Frank Lee.
"That person's surname is also Lee."
"Is he terrible?" Lu Mian asked.
Ryan shook his head:
"I don't know, but since there is such a legend, it definitely won't be bad."
He stopped the topic and said to Lu Mian:
"Thank you for your story, it is worth a glass of wine, what do you want?"
"A glass of 'Green Fairy'." Lu Mian was not polite at all and sat down again.
Ryan Cos frowned slightly: Star Literature Reading Read Book La
"'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 have hallucinations."
"I didn't expect the fashion trend of Trier to have spread here." Leah added with a smile.
Lu Mian gave an "oh":
"So Trier 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 spirit 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'? I told you the truth just now, and I can tell the situation of this kid exactly!" The thin middle-aged man who first exposed Lu Mian telling stories every day shouted dissatisfiedly, "Outsider, I can see that you still have doubts about the truth of that story!"
"Pierre, in order to drink a free glass of wine, you can really do anything!" Lu Mian responded loudly.
.... Before Ryan made a decision, Lu Mian added: Read Book La
"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 said triumphantly, "The story your sister loves to tell children most is 'The Wolf is Coming.' People who always lie will inevitably lose credibility."
"Okay." Lu Mian shrugged, watching the bartender push a glass of light 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.
"Then another glass of 'Green Fairy'." Ryan nodded.
Pierre was full of smiles:
"Generous outsider, this kid is the person who loves pranks most in the village. You must stay away from him.
"Five years ago, he was brought back to the village by his sister Aurore and never left again. Think, before that, he was only thirteen years old, how could he go to the hospital to be a morgue guard? Hmm, the hospital closest to us is in Daliezh at the foot of the mountain, which takes a whole afternoon." Star Literature Reading
"Brought back to the village?" Leah asked keenly.
She tilted her head slightly, bringing out a ding-dong sound.
Pierre nodded:

"Then, he followed Aurore's surname 'Lee', and even the name 'Lu Mian' was taken by Aurore."
"I forgot what I was called originally." Lu Mian drank a sip of absinthe and said with a smile.
It seems that he is not inferior or ashamed that his past was exposed like this.
