Is the boss fine today?

The funeral procession passed by the concrete floor in front of the inn, and Yaduo also disappeared at the end of the road.

The giant paper figurine dangled at the intersection, as if saying goodbye to someone.

Tan Yue looked around for a while: "How did he die?"

Situ said, "Drunk driving."

Tan Yue asked, "Is the giant paper figurine his underground bodyguard?"

"Forget it, because he is not married, he has to take someone down."

"The unmarried have to burn this?"

"Yeah. There used to be ghost marriages... holding two corpses and parading through the streets, but now it's gone."

It's good that Situ didn't mention this, as soon as he said it, Tan Yue immediately had a picture in his mind.Situ and Tan Yue were lifted into the air, their faces were painted white, their eyes were closed tightly, they were wearing bright red wedding dresses, and their limbs were stiff.Staggeringly, accompanied by Taoist chanting, wedding joy and funeral procession, they were carried into the deep mountains and old forests...

"Ah," Tan Yue blinked, "When will that paper figurine be burned?"

"When I entered the mountain, it was popular for the elderly here to be buried in the ground, and they were burned together with other things before the burial."

"so."

The more we talk about it, the more we want to go to Ya Jie's funeral.But he promised Situ not to leave the inn, so he just thought about it.

When going up the stairs, he met Xia Sheng, and the two met on the same staircase.

As soon as Tan Yue saw Xia Sheng, he immediately remembered that it was not easy for Xia Sheng to spend the night with the gagged Zhao Zhao late at night a few days ago.

Tan Yue smiled at him: "I haven't seen you for several days."

"You're back again." Xia Sheng looked downstairs. Yi Yun and Zhao Zhao were wandering by the door. He said, "It's been raining recently, and a lot of big water ants with wings flew into my room. You have insecticide. Is it? If so, I don’t need to go out and buy it.”

Tan Yue did have a bottle of insecticide, which was probably left in the bathroom by the previous visitor, although there were no such animals as cockroaches and termites in his room.

"Big water ants? Termites?"

"Yes, I'm afraid of big water ants, flying around is scary." Xia Sheng followed him to the door and stopped.

The two walked up to the fourth floor with a bottle of insecticide. The lights in the room were off and it was pitch black.Xia Sheng flicked on the light, and there were seven or eight wriggling bugs on the wall and on the ground, as well as some scattered wings.As soon as the door was opened and closed, Xia Sheng sat on the table, looking really afraid of bugs.He said, "Come on."

Tan Yue had no experience in killing insects, so he randomly sprayed under the table and under the bed, and a strong fragrance of jasmine filled the whole room.When he walked to the corner, he saw a pool of stains on the wall, judging from Tan Yue's experience of self-torture for more than a year, it looked like blood.

"Zhao Zhao went mad and hit the wall that night, banging the back of his head, but he's fine." Xia Sheng explained.

"His head is quite hard." Tan Yue raised the insecticide and sprayed it on the blood, leaving a wet spray mark.

He opened the toilet door again and sprayed the bugs crawling on the sink.

"Okay?" Tan Yue asked, when a large water ant suddenly flew onto the back of his hand.He frowns and shakes it away quickly, the giant water ant's wings fell off, and it crashed into the sink.

He quickly turned on the faucet to wash his hands, but suddenly there was a crisp sound of metal cracking somewhere, Tan Yue looked down, and found a high water column suddenly sprayed out from the water pipe by the wall, rushing to the ceiling, he was in a hurry to guess With insecticide popping out of the toilet.

Tan Yue called out to another person in the room, "Xia Sheng, the water pipe is blown."

The two of them glanced at the door of the toilet, and the inside had already begun to flood with water, and the entire wall was wet.

"Can you fix water pipes?" Xia Sheng asked him, "Lao Xing is not here."

"No, call someone outside to fix it." Tan Yue shook his head, put the insecticide on his table and was about to leave, "I've given it to you, I don't need it."

Xia Sheng called him, "Are you going to stay here forever, or just go on vacation?"

"Vacation." He answered casually.

"I'm going to the southeast next month to play with Yi Yun. Do you want to go together?" Xia Sheng said, "Zhao Zhao also wanted to go together."

Thinking of Xia Sheng's previous invitation, he rejected it in his heart.Tan Yue opened the door, "Let's talk about it when the time comes, I can't say it right now."

Just as he was leaving the house, his cell phone vibrated suddenly, Tan Yue looked at the screen, it was a WeChat message from Qingqing.

-?

There is only one question mark.

Tan Yue didn't reply. When he reached the stairs, he happened to see Situ walking up the stairs. The two looked at each other, and Tan Yue lowered his head and replied to his WeChat.

- he has a problem

The two started sending WeChat messages across a flight of stairs.

-No.But what are you doing in his room?

-Kill giant water ants.

-...

- Are you jealous?

- not quite.

-Come on!

-...

-When you say that, it reminds me of something.Do I look like those workers in gay videos who come to help the male owner who lives alone fix the plumbing, and then... hahaha.jpg

Situ did not reply.Tan Yue raised his eyes and found that he was holding the phone expressionlessly.Tan Yue is very familiar with his facial paralysis, which usually means that he is angry.He walked up to him and saw that Situ's mobile phone was still on the WeChat chat page.

Tan Yue pulled him downstairs, "You won't be angry because of this, I'm just joking. Besides, the workers who repair the plumbing in GV are all muscular and strong men."

As soon as he said this, Situ's eyes shifted from the phone to Tan Yue's abdomen.Talking about the more he lifted his shirt, he spent half of the year between hospitalization and injury, he had long since put down his exercise, and his abdomen didn't have any muscles to speak of, it was almost flat.He took a breath, and his abdomen deflated, revealing a little bit of the outline of his former abdominal muscles.

"There are still," he said.

"You're so boring." Situ squinted at him, "Do you still watch GV?"

"No, my roommate watched it."

"Is your roommate also interested in you?"

"seems like it."

"Tell me carefully."

Situ shut him into the room, pulled out a stool, and sat down dignifiedly. The eldest lady looked as if she wanted to get to the bottom of it.

Tan Yu felt that this was not a big deal, and it was not worth concealing, so he talked about it.

To put it simply, one night, his roommate invited him to watch a GV. The moon was very round that day, and the plumbers were all muscular and fierce in action.After watching the GV, the roommate confessed to him.Tan Yue said that he is a straight man and declined.

Tan Yue said: "But he still has a great influence on me. If it wasn't for that GV, I might not be with you..."

Situ interrupted him, "Why did you agree to watch GV with him?"

"I haven't seen it, just take a look."

"Are you straight?" Situ asked again.

This is really a question that hits the soul.

Tan Yue immediately said, "Not anymore."

Tan Yue stood, Situ sat opposite him and looked up at him, he smiled gently, but an inexplicable interrogation atmosphere filled the whole room.

Situ said, "Then, what happened to you and your roommate?"

"No." Tan Yue denied it.

"is it?"

"Well, there are."

The year my roommate graduated, he wrote a poem with the central idea of ​​"Love is colorful, and those who believe in love are idiots." At the graduation dinner, the roommate got drunk and publicly announced that it was written for Tan Yue.

"This poem was my sexuality enlightenment. I think..."

Situ interrupted him again, and he still smiled: "He's an idiot, what about you?"

Tan Yue felt that Situ was teasing him, but he could only respond dryly: "...Maybe. I don't know."

After bullying Tan Yue verbally, Situ decided to let him go.He said that he had something to do in the afternoon and had to go to the mountains to pay homage to the dead Yajie.

Tan Yue asked, "Do business partners also have to send wreaths?"

"No," Situ said, "Yajie is my uncle. Although we have nothing to do with each other, I don't have to go to the funeral, but I still have to pay homage to him on the mountain."

Yajie is Situ's uncle.In this way, Yaduo is still his niece.

Yaduo used to warn Tan Yue to be careful with Situ and others, and Situ persuaded Tan Yue to stay away from Ya Duo because Ya Jie is not a good person.The uncle and nephew were very kind to him in exactly the same way.

"Can I go?" Tan Yue still missed the giant paper figurine.

Situ went into the bathroom, "No."

Tan Yue said: "Then I'm in the inn alone?"

Through a layer of water mist, Situ's voice was very vague: "Don't come to repair the water pipes, you just stay here."

"Can I read your book?"

Tan Yue focused on his overstuffed bookshelf, except for half of the Braille books, he could still understand the other half.

With Situ's permission, Tan Yue moved a stool and turned up from the top floor. There was a row of art-related books, and some picture albums and other books.The next step is prose and novels, and the less interesting it is to talk about.

In the cabinet on the bottom floor are stacks of newspapers and geographical journals. The newspapers are rolled into rolls and tied with ropes, and they are carefully stacked into a triangle. The journals are from four years ago, and the date shows that one issue does not fall out. .The things in the other cabinet are a bit miscellaneous, with several folders bundled together with books and newspapers.The newspaper looked very old, the paper was yellow and brittle, and in some places it had been eaten by moths with several holes.Tan Yue untied the rope on the newspaper, and the first date he saw was September 1992, 9.

He flipped through the two newspapers, which were local newspapers in Mei Town. On the social section, he saw a report about two ornithologists in City A falling off a cliff and dying.The date of the second newspaper was a few days later. The follow-up report of the cliff fall accident was tracked on the social board, and it was mentioned that the corpse was sent back to city A in peace talks with the couple and orphans.

There are a few photos and books in the folder. They are photos of the couple’s ID. I don’t know where Situ found them. There is one that looks like it was taken on a bulletin board. Sheng; several books on birds, written by Tan Kesheng or Yan Ni.It seems that these files have been sorted into different categories, and the other folder is related to Tanyue, probably because the two are from the same age, and there are obviously more photos of Tanyue, A city primary school Olympic mathematics competition The awards ceremony, middle school entrance ceremony, high school graduation photos...every photo has Tan Yue.

There is also a group photo in his folder.I don't know if I misplaced it, but this photo is obviously from 30 or [-] years ago. A young man and a woman are smiling and standing at the door of the tile house, with an intimate posture.

What's weird is that this man looks very similar to Tan Yue, it's almost as if he traveled back decades and took a sweet photo with this petite and beautiful woman.

Talking more and more confused.Is this a PS composite photo?But who is this woman?

The bathroom door opened, and Situ came out wrapped in a towel and was wiping his hair with the towel.

Tan Yue simply took the photo and asked him, "Who are they?"
