Chapter 459

If it weren't for seeing him look strong, Yin Yin Mancang really wanted to kick him. Is this human language?

"If you really want to marry, I can set it for you now."

"Set!"

Laobiaozhi stretched his neck and looked around, asking, "But it must be agreed; it must be beautiful, the more beautiful the better..."

"I am a failure, 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 the future.

"I found many jobs, but I wasn't hired; maybe no one likes someone who isn't good at speaking, doesn't like communicating, and hasn't shown enough ability."

"I only ate two pieces of bread for three whole days. Hunger made it impossible for me 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 winter wind.

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

"The hospital night was colder than I imagined. The corridor wall lamps weren't lit, and it was dim everywhere. I could only rely on the little light leaking out from the room to help me see my feet.

"The smell there was terrible. From time to time, the deceased were sent in body bags, and we cooperated to help move them into the morgue.

"This wasn't a very good job, but at least it allowed me to afford bread. The free time at night could also be used for study. After all, no one wanted to come to the morgue unless there were bodies that needed to be sent or transported for cremation. Of course, I didn't have enough money to buy books, and I couldn't see the hope of saving money yet.

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

"I dreamed of being able to rotate to the day shift. Now I always sleep when the sun comes out and get up after night falls, making my body a bit weak, and my head occasionally throbs.

"One day, the mover sent a new body.

"I heard from others that this was 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, his clothes were all taken off, and not even a piece of cloth was left for him.

"I saw a strange mark on his chest, blue-black, I couldn't describe the specific look, 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 told him that tomorrow I would accompany him to the crematorium and personally take his ashes to the nearest free cemetery, so that those responsible for these things wouldn't find it troublesome and just throw them in a river or wasteland.

"This will sacrifice a morning of my sleep, but fortunately, it's Sunday soon, and I can make up for it.

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

"The light in the room seemed 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, 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 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 beside 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.

This 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 to 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 paused slightly, and a thin middle-aged man looked at the slightly embarrassed guest and said:

"Outsider, you actually believe Lu Mian's story. He tells a different one every day. Yesterday he was a loser whose engagement was broken by his fiancée because of poverty, and today he became a morgue keeper!"

"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 babble!" Another tavern regular followed.

They are all farmers in this large village of Cordu, 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 written by my sister. She likes writing stories the most, and she is a columnist for some 'Novel Weekly'."

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

"It seems she writes really well.

"Sorry, let you misunderstand."

The man in the brown tweed jacket with an ordinary appearance 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.

The outsider nodded:

"My name is Ryan Cos.

"These two are my companions Valentine and Leah."

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

The man is twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with some powder on his yellow hair, not very big eyes with a color deeper than lake blue, wearing a white vest, blue tweed coat, and black trousers, obviously carefully dressed 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 toward Lu Mian carried undisguised amusement, and she seemed to find what just happened only interesting.

Under the illumination of the tavern's gas wall lamp, this woman named Leah revealed a pretty nose and beautifully curved lips, which is definitely a beauty in the countryside like Cordu village.

She wore a white unpleated cashmere tight dress, with a beige small jacket and a pair of Masil 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 only available in big cities like the provincial capital Bigo or the capital Trier.

Lu Mian nodded to the three outsiders:

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

"Lee?" Leah blurted out.

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

Ryan Cos explained for Leah:

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

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

"Anyone who has been in contact with sailors and sea merchants knows that there is such a saying circulating on the Five Seas:

"Rather encounter those pirate generals or even kings than meet a person named Frank Lee.

"That person's surname is also Lee."

"Is he scary?" Lu Mian 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 Lu Mian:

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

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

Ryan Cos 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 Trier to have spread here." Leah added with a smile.

Lu Mian said "Oh":

"So people in Trier 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 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 telling stories every day shouted dissatisfiedly, "Outsider, I can see that you still have doubts about the truth of that story!"

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

Before Ryan could make 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 smiled triumphantly, "The story your sister loves to tell children most is 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf'. People who always lie will inevitably lose credibility."

"Okay." Lu Mian shrugged and watched the bartender push a glass of pale 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." Lu Mian didn't care.

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

Pierre was full of smiles:

"Generous outsider, this kid is the most mischievous person 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 about it, before that, he was only thirteen years old, how could he go to the hospital to be a morgue keeper? Well, the nearest hospital to us is in Daliege at the foot of the mountain, which takes a whole afternoon to walk."

"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 at all that his past is exposed like this.
