Chapter 503

He was scolded by his mother, who said that even though he was a cadre, he didn't have any steadiness.

In fact, Liu Yin knew her son's ability; she could tell how powerful her son was just by seeing his faster and faster progress.

But as a mother, she had to nag a few words, even if she knew, she had to seize this moment to grasp...

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

"My parents cannot provide me with support, my education is not high, and I am alone in the city looking for the future.

"I have found many jobs, but none of them have been hired. Maybe no one likes someone who is not good at speaking, does not like to communicate, and has not 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 the rent for a month in advance, so I can 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, working the night shift at the hospital, working the night shift for the morgue.

"The night at the hospital is colder than I imagined. The wall lamps in the corridor are not lit, and it is very dim everywhere. I can only rely on the little light that penetrates from the room to help me see my feet.

"The smell there is very unpleasant. From time to time, the deceased are stuffed into body bags and sent over. We cooperate to help move him 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 at the moment.

"I have to thank my former colleague. If it weren't for his sudden resignation, I might not have even 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 get up after night falls, which makes my body a bit weak, and my head occasionally throbs with pain.

"One day, the porter sent a new corpse.

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

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

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

"His hair is not much, most of it is white, all his clothes have been taken off, and not even a piece of cloth has been 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 am 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 bring his ashes to the nearest free cemetery, so as not to let those responsible for these things find it troublesome, and just find a river or a wasteland to throw them away.

"This will sacrifice a morning of my sleep, but fortunately, it will be 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 seems to be dimmer..."

"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 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 beside his hand.

He looks ordinary, like most people in the tavern, with black hair and light blue eyes, not good-looking, but 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 profound features, which can make people's eyes shine.

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

"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 broke out 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. He tells a different story every day. Yesterday he was still 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 talk nonsense!" 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 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 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 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 a man and a woman sitting next to them.

The man is twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with some powder on his yellow hair. His eyes are not big, and they have a color slightly deeper than lake blue. He is wearing a white vest, a blue tweed coat, and black trousers. He was obviously carefully dressed before going out.

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

The woman looks 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 are the same color as her hair, and her gaze towards Lu Mian carries undisguised amusement. She seems to only find what just happened interesting.

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

She is wearing a white pleated cashmere tight skirt, with a beige small jacket and a pair of Massier long boots. There are also two small silver bells tied to the veil and boots. When she walked into the tavern just now, she was jingling all the way, which was very eye-catching, making many men look straight.

In their eyes, this must be the fashionable dress that only big cities like the provincial capital Bigor and the capital Trier 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.

"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 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 man 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 must not 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:

"'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 make you hallucinate."

"I didn't expect the fashion trend of Trier to spread here." Leah added with a smile.

Lu Mian 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 Lu Mian telling stories every day shouted dissatisfiedly, "Outsider, I can see that you are still suspicious of the truth of that story!"

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

Before Ryan made a decision, Lu Mian added:

"Why can't I tell it myself, so 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 their credit."

"Okay." Lu Mian shrugged his shoulders and watched 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." 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. You think, 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 jingling sound.

Pierre nodded:

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

"I forgot what it 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 is exposed like this.
