Chapter 384: Isn't it also good to be neighbors with a Bodhisattva~

Early in the morning, before the sky was fully bright, the busy girl idol Akina Nakamori had already woken up and put on light makeup, preparing to go out.

Today there is an outdoor program in Yamazaki, the time is at 9:30 in the morning, Fusunori Akisawa has already driven the car to the building...

"I am a loser, 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 education wasn't high, and I was alone in the city looking for the 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 communicating, 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 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 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 former colleague. If it weren't for his sudden resignation, I might not have been 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 wake up after night falls, which makes my body a bit weak, and my head occasionally throbs.

"One day, the mover sent a new corpse.

"I heard from others that this was 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 looked very scary under the very dark light.

"He didn't have much hair, most of it was white, and his clothes were all 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 keep going like this, when I get old, will I be like 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 be bothered and just throw them in a river or a wasteland.

"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 stuffed it back into the cabinet.

"The light in the room seemed to be darker...

"After that day, every time I

"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 human will come looking for 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 storyteller who had suddenly stopped:

"And then?"

This male guest was in his thirties, wearing a brown tweed jacket and light yellow trousers, his hair pressed very flat, and there was a simple dark-colored bowler hat beside his hand.

He looked ordinary, like most people in the tavern, with black hair, light blue eyes, not good-looking, nor ugly, lacking obvious features.

And the storyteller in his eyes was a young man of eighteen or nineteen, with a tall and straight figure, slender limbs, also with short black hair and light blue eyes, but with deep facial features that could make one's eyes light up.

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 come here and brag to you."

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

The male guest was stunned for a moment:

"What you just said was bragging?"

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

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

"Outsider, you actually believed 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 has become a corpse guard!"

"Right, saying something about thirty years east of the Cerenz River, thirty years west of the Cerenz River, only knowing how to talk nonsense!" Another tavern regular followed up.

They were all farmers from this large village of Cordu, wearing short jackets that were 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 isn't a story I made up; it was all written by my sister. She loves writing stories the most and is even a columnist for some 'Novel Weekly'."

After finishing, he turned his body sideways, spread his hands toward the outsider, and smiled brilliantly:

"It seems she writes really well.

"Sorry, I let you misunderstand."

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

"A very interesting story.

"What should I call 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 Cos.

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

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

The man was twenty-seven or twenty-eight, his yellow hair powdered, his eyes, which were not large, had a color slightly deeper than lake blue, wearing a white vest, a blue fine-wool coat, and black trousers; he had clearly been carefully dressed before going out.

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

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

Her eyes were the same color as her hair, and her gaze toward Lu Mian carried undisguised amusement; she seemed to find what had 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 definitely counted as a beauty in the countryside like Cordu Village.

She wore a white pleated cashmere tight dress, paired with a beige small jacket and a pair of Masier long boots, and two small silver bells were tied to her veil and boots respectively; when she walked into the tavern just now, she jingled all the way, which was very eye-catching, making many men stare straight at her.

In their eyes, this must be the fashionable attire only found 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 a problem with my surname?" Lu Mian asked curiously.

Ryan Cos explained for Leah:

"This surname of yours is terrifying; I almost couldn't control my voice just now."

Seeing the surrounding farmers and herdsmen looking 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:

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

"That person's surname is also Lee."

"Is he very 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 this 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 back down.

Ryan Cos frowned slightly and said:

"'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 beside him 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's no need to care about a little more harm; this kind of wine can make our spirits get greater relaxation."

"Alright." 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 as it is!" The thin middle-aged man who first exposed Lu Mian for 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 really can do anything!" Lu Mian responded loudly.

Without waiting for Ryan to 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 described." The middle-aged man named Pierre laughed triumphantly, "The story your sister loves to tell children the most is 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf'; people who always lie will inevitably lose their credibility."

"Alright." Lu Mian shrugged his shoulders and watched the bartender push a glass of pale green wine in front of him.

Ryan looked at him and asked for his opinion:

"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 suddenly 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 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 corpse guard? Hmm, 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 given by Aurore."

"I've forgotten what I was originally called." Lu Mian took a sip of absinthe and said with a grin.

It seemed that he was not at all inferior or ashamed that his past was exposed like this.
