Chapter 456

"I am a failure, I almost don't 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 like 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 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 my feet.

"The smell there was very unpleasant. From time to time, the deceased were sent in body bags, and 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 learning. After all, no one wants 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 the hope of saving money for the time being.

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

"I dreamed of being able to rotate to be responsible for the day. 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 twitches with pain.

"One day, the mover sent a new corpse.

"Listening to others, this is my former colleague who resigned suddenly.

"I was a little 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 looked very scary under the very dark light.

"His hair was not much, 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 dark.

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

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

"I told him that tomorrow I would accompany him to the crematorium and personally take his ashes to the nearest free cemetery, so as not to let those responsible for these things feel troublesome and throw them away in a river or a wasteland.

"This will sacrifice my morning sleep, but fortunately, it will be Sunday soon, and 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 darker...

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

"I have a premonition that something will happen soon, and I have 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, 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 in front of the bar looked at the narrator who stopped suddenly:

"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 at 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, slender limbs, also black short hair, light blue eyes, but deep features, which can make people's eyes shine.

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

"And then?

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

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

The male guest was stunned:

"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 Lumian's story. He tells a different story every day. Yesterday he was still a loser who was canceled 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 Selenzo River, thirty years on the right side of the Selenzo River, only knowing how to talk nonsense!" Another tavern regular followed.

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

The black-haired young man named Lumian 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 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, spread his hands to the outsider, and smiled brilliantly:

"It seems she wrote it really well.

"Sorry, I made you misunderstand."

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

"A very interesting story.

"How to address you?"

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

The 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 him.

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

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

The woman looked younger than the two men, with long light gray 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 towards Lumian carried undisguised laughter. She seemed to find what just happened interesting.

Under the light of the tavern gas wall lamp, the woman named Leah revealed a pretty nose and beautifully curved lips, which is definitely a beauty in the countryside like Kordu Village.

She wore a white pleated cashmere tight skirt, a beige small jacket, and a pair of Masil boots. There were also two small silver bells tied on the veil and boots. When she walked into the tavern just now, it 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 that only big cities like the provincial capital Bigor and the capital Trier have.

Lumian nodded to the three outsiders:

"My name is Lumian Lee, you can call me Lumian directly."

"Lee?" Leah blurted out.

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

Ryan Cos helped Leah explain:

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

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

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

"I would rather encounter those pirate generals and even kings than meet a person named Frank Lee.

"That person's surname is also Lee."

"Is he scary?" Lumian asked.

Ryan shook his head:

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

He stopped the topic and said to Lumian:

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

"A glass of 'Green Fairy'." Lumian was not polite at all and sat down again.

Ryan Cos frowned slightly and said:

"'Green Fairy'... Absinthe?

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

"I didn't expect Trier's fashion trend to have spread here." Leah next to him added with a smile.

Lumian said "Oh":

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

"For us, life is 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'? I 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 Lumian telling stories every day shouted dissatisfiedly, "Outsider, I can see that you still have doubts about the truth of that story!"

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

Without waiting for Ryan to make a decision, Lumian added:

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

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

"Okay." Lumian shrugged his shoulders, watching the bartender push a glass of light green wine in front of him.

Ryan looked at him and asked:

"Is it okay?"

"No problem, as long as your wallet is enough to pay for these drinks." Lumian 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 the 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. You think, before that, he was only thirteen years old, how could he go to the hospital to be a corpse guard? Well, the nearest hospital to us is in Daliege at the foot of the mountain, which takes a whole afternoon."

"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 'Lumian' was taken by Aurore."

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

It seems that he is not inferior or ashamed that his past is exposed like this.
