Unseasonably cold wind.” Finally, I got a job doing night vigil at the hospital and at the mortuary. "The night in the hospital was colder than I imagined. The wall lamps in the corridor were not lit, and it was very dark everywhere. I could only rely on the little light that seeped out of the room to help me see my feet." The smell there was terrible. A dead person was sent in a body bag, and we cooperated to help him move into the morgue. "It's not a very good job, but at least it allows me to buy bread, and I can use my free time at night to study. After all, no one wants to come to the mortuary unless there is a body that needs to be sent or transported away to be burned. , 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 wasn't for his sudden departure, I might not even have a job like this. "I dreamed of being able to take turns in charge of the day.

"It will cost me a morning of sleep, but fortunately, it will be Sunday soon, and I can make up for it." After saying that, I finished packing the body bag and stuffed it back into the cabinet. "The lights in the room seem to be dimmer..." After that day, every time I go to sleep, I always dream of a big fog. "I have a premonition that something will happen in the near future. 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 wants to believe me. I feel that my spirit has changed in such an environment and work. It's not normal, I need to see a doctor..." A male guest sitting in front of the bar looked at the narrator who suddenly stopped: "And then?" The male guest was in his thirties, wearing brown tweed Jacket and buff trousers, hair pressed down, and a crude dark bowler hat at hand. He looked ordinary, like most of the people in the tavern, with black hair and light blue eyes, not good-looking or ugly, lacking obvious features.

And the narrator in his eyes is a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old, tall and straight, with slender limbs, short black hair, light blue eyes, but profound facial features, which can make people's eyes shine. Looking at the empty wine glass in front of him, the young man sighed and said, "Then? Download the Xingwen Reading app to read the latest chapter." Then I resigned and returned to the countryside to come here to brag with you. "As he spoke, a smile appeared on his face, with a narrow smile. The male guest froze for a moment: "What you just said is bragging? ""Ha ha. There was a burst of laughter around the bar. The laughter stopped for a while, and a thin middle-aged man looked at the slightly embarrassed guest and said, "Outlander, you actually believe Lumian's story, he tells it every day It's different, yesterday he was an unlucky guy whose engagement was broken off by his fiancée because of poverty, but today he has become a corpse keeper! "Yes, say what thirty years on the east side of the Serenzo River, thirty years on the right side of the Serenzo River, only know nonsense!" Another tavern regular followed suit. They were all farmers from the large village of Kordu, wearing black, gray or brown jackets. The black-haired young man named Lumian supported the bar with his hands and stood slowly. I got up, smiled and said: "You know, this is not a story I made up, it was written by my sister, she likes to write stories the most, and she is also a columnist for "Fiction Weekly". "After finishing speaking, he turned his body sideways, spread his hands to the foreign guest, and said with a bright smile: "It seems that she wrote really well. Xingwen reading app "I'm sorry I misunderstood you." The ordinary-looking man in a brown tweed jacket didn't get angry. He stood up and responded with a smile: "It's an interesting story." What's the name? ""Isn't it common sense to introduce yourself before asking someone? Lumian laughed. The visitor from the foreign country nodded: "My name is Ryan Kos." "These two are my companions, Valentine and Leah." The latter sentence refers to a man and a woman sitting next to her. The Xingwen reading app male is twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with yellow hair covered with some powder, not too big eyes with a color darker than lake blue, wearing a white vest, blue fine woolen jacket and black trousers, It was obvious that she had carefully dressed before going out. His expression was quite indifferent, and he didn't pay much attention to the farmers and herdsmen around him. The woman looked younger than the two men, her long light gray hair was tied into a complicated bun, and she wore a white veil as a hat. Her eyes were the same color as her hair, and she looked at Lumian with an undisguised smile, as if she was only interested in what happened just now. Under the light of the gas wall lamp in the tavern, this woman named Liya showed a pretty nose and beautifully curved lips. She is definitely a beauty in a country like Kordu Village. She was wearing a white non-pleated cashmere tight skirt, a small beige coat, and a pair of Marcell boots. There were two small silver bells tied to the veil and the boots respectively. When she walked into the tavern just now, she was jingling all the way. It is very eye-catching and makes many men look straight. In their eyes, this must be a fashionable dress that can only be found in big cities such as the provincial capital Vigor and the capital Trier. Lumian nodded to the three foreigners: "My name is Lumian Li, you can call me Lumian directly." "Li?" Liya blurted out. Xingwen reading app "What's the matter, is there something wrong with my surname?" Lumian asked curiously. Ryan Kos helped Liya explain: "Your surname is scary, I almost couldn't control my voice just now." Seeing the puzzled faces of the surrounding farmers and herdsmen, he further explained: "I have contacted sailors Everyone in the sea and sea merchants knows that there is a saying on the Five Seas: "I would rather meet those pirate generals and even kings than meet a man named Frank Lee. "That one's surname is also Li." "Is he scary?" Lumian asked. Ryan shook his head: "I don't know, but since there are such legends, it must not be bad." He stopped the topic and said to Lumian: "Thank you for the story, it is worth a glass of wine, what do you want? ?" "A cup of 'Green Fairy'." Lumian was not polite at all, and sat down again. Ryan Coss 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 alcohol may cause insanity and make you appear hallucinations. " "I didn't expect the fashion winds from Trier to have spread here. Liya next to her added with a smile. Lumian said "Oh": "It turns out that Trier people also like to drink 'Green Fairy'..." For us, life is hard enough, there is no need to care too much So little damage, this wine can make our spirits more relaxed." "Okay." Ryan sat back and looked at the bartender, "A glass of 'Green Fairy', and another glass of 'Spicy Heart' for me. "Spicy heart mouth" is a famous fruit shochu. "Why don't you give me a cup of 'Green Fairy'? I told you the truth just now, and I can tell you exactly what happened to this kid!" The first skinny middle-aged man to expose Lumian's storytelling every day The man shouted dissatisfied, "Outsiders, I can see that you still have doubts about the veracity of that story!" "Pierre, you can do anything for a free glass of wine!" Lu Mian responded loudly. Without waiting for Ryan to make a decision, Lumian added: "Why can't I tell it myself, so that I can drink an extra glass of 'Green Fairy'?" "Because they don't know whether they should believe what you said.

The middle-aged man named Pierre smiled triumphantly, "Your sister's favorite story to tell the children is 'Wolf is Coming', and those who always lie will lose their credibility." ""All right. Lumian 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 that okay?" ""No problem, as long as your wallet is enough to pay for the wine. Lumian didn't care. "Then have another glass of 'Green Fairy'." Ryan nodded. Pierre immediately smiled: "Generous outsider, this kid is the favorite prankster in the village, you must stay away from him." "Five years ago, he was brought back to the village by his sister Aurora, and he never left again. You think, before that, he was only thirteen years old, how could he go to the hospital to be a corpse keeper? Well, it's the closest to us. The hospital is in Darliege at the foot of the mountain, and it will take a whole afternoon." Star Wen Reading app "Take it back to the village?" Liya asked sharply.
