Is the boss fine today?

The more I talked, the more I became blind, but to be precise, I couldn't see clearly, and I didn't completely lose my vision.When he opened his eyes in the morning, his vision was full of mottled patches of color, like a pair of big colorful butterflies resting on his eyes.

His first reaction was to eat something by mistake, or a sudden acute eye disease.

Talking more calmly, after groping to wash and change clothes, he staggered down the stairs looking for the light and asked for help.

Tanyue's alarm clock was 06:30, it was not yet seven o'clock, the inn was quiet, and there was a heavy rain outside.

The first person to notice his strangeness was Lao Xing.He had experience in taking care of the blind, so he saw something wrong with Tan Yue's eyes at a glance, and stopped Tan Yue from going down the stairs without saying a word. "Broken eye?" he said.

"Hmm. I want to go to the hospital... Am I poisoned?" Tan Yue said, "I ate some mushrooms last night, and I was poisoned, is that so?"

"It's not poisoning." Lao Xing didn't answer, but Situ's voice appeared behind him.

Tan Yue turned around, and a blurred and fragmented figure approached, bringing with it a smell of green bamboo, grass and leaves.He immediately became alert.

"It's not like this. It has nothing to do with food. Every year when the living god is about to appear, some people will have vision problems. It will recover on its own in less than three days. Don't be afraid." Situ said.

"What is a living god?" Tan Yue asked.

"I told you yesterday that the Living God lives in the mountains. His existence is to protect the peace of the Mei people. Don't think too much about it."

"It's not a big deal." Lao Xing also echoed Situ: "If you're worried, I'll take you to the hospital when the rain stops, but the hospital can't find anything. Every year, a few people encounter this kind of thing. It's just a coincidence. Now? Can't go out now, the rain is too heavy, and the car can't go out."

living god?

Puzzled, he asked an urgent question: "Is there no other solution?"

"Stay here for a few days, maybe tomorrow will be fine." Lao Xing comforted him, "Don't wander around, call me if you have something to do."

Tan Yue has indeed heard that if you encounter a strange incident, it is best to solve it in the way of the locals, otherwise something else will be summoned.Hearing the sound of heavy rain, his thoughts of going to the hospital died down.

He was about to thank him when a hand suddenly grabbed his arm, just pressing down on the wound left by him last week.The more he talked, his face turned ashen from the pain.

Situ didn't realize it: "What are you hiding? Don't just stand there, sit down."

"Okay." Tan Yue forced a smile.

Situ took him by the hand and slowly moved to the table.Tan Yue smelled the smell of herbs again, he grabbed Tan Yue's hand and told him to sit down, his fingers scraped the skin of Tan Yue's wrist.

Tan Yue suddenly noticed that there were many rough calluses on his fingers——

Do blind people with reduced mobility also leave such marks?

He secretly marveled, and then asked, "Why do some people lose their eyesight when God appears?"

"Because he doesn't want anyone to see his appearance." Situ was very close to him, and the smell of grass and trees on his body was faint, as if he had just returned from the depths of the forest.

Situ didn't look like an innkeeper, so the more he talked, the more he thought about it.

If he is not the innkeeper, who is he?

Situ carried a basket of herbs on his back and an earthen gun in his hand. He walked through the ancient dense forest on foot. In the dense fog, he was doing the work of killing people and stealing goods.

"It's going to rain." He put away the smoking gun, and Lao Xing washed his hands by the river.

Probably because of something wrong with his eyes, Tan Yue saw strange fantasies.Maybe it's because he's not completely blind, and the remaining vision is rebelling. If he's completely blind, it probably won't matter. There are only two black butterflies flying in front of him at most.

"Don't be afraid, Tan Yue. The Living God will not harm you."

The screen disappeared, and Tan Yue blinked.He raised his head, and vaguely saw a pair of black eyes quietly looking down at Situ's broken face.

The more you talk, the more you can't play with your mobile phone, let alone do other things.After waking up, the rain outside the house became heavier and heavier, and the torrential rain poured down from the sky and splashed on the walls and roof. The sound of violent impact was surprising, as if the rain was about to smash the house into pieces at any time.

There was a radio on the cash register on the first floor, needless to say, it was for Situ who couldn't see.At this moment, the female anchor on the radio was reading the news intermittently: "W city has experienced the heaviest rainstorm in 30 years, and the amount of rainfall has reached...Citizens should pay attention to safety when traveling, and try not to go out...Please contact..."

Lao Xing and Situ really didn't lie to him. It was raining so heavily that he might not be able to come back after going out. Zhao Zhao who went out last night has not returned yet. Lao Xing couldn't even get through his phone, and he didn't know if he was dead or alive.

There were only three people left in the inn.Tan Yue sat on the stairs with bare feet, with a little irritability on his face.Listening to sounds and distinguishing objects was fun at first, but he lost his patience as time went on.In the noisy sound of rain, he could only tell that the radio was ringing, and Lao Xing was busy sweeping out the rainwater pouring into the store with a broom, because the sound of the huge rain was mixed with the sound of the broom, and Lao Xing complained. The rain was about to flood the plastic mandarin on the first floor, but there was no other sound.Situ was probably concentrating on listening to the news on the radio, without saying a word.

After a while, the sound of slow footsteps gradually approached, and Tan Yue pricked up his ears.

This pace can only be Situ.He listened attentively, and asked uncertainly, "Mr. Si?"

A hand suddenly put on his shoulder, crossed his chest, and directly grabbed the two hands on his knees.Then Situ Xing swiftly stuffed a ceramic water cup into his hand.

The water was hot, and Situ's body temperature and the temperature of the water touched his cold hands together.

The more he talked, he was startled, and he smiled embarrassedly, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Situ straightened his clothes and sat down beside him.

"I didn't know the pain of not having eyes until I lost my eyesight. You are usually inconvenient, right?" As soon as he sat down, Tan Yue started talking about the innkeeper's past.

Situ said: "It's okay if you get used to it. I've walked all over the inn, and I won't bump into it with my eyes closed."

Tan Yue then asked him: "Are you born with eyes, or did you lose your eyesight because of a living god like me?"

If Situ was acquired blindness, the difference in his body from other blind people can be explained, or, he is simply a victim of the living god.

"A living god coming down to earth?" Situ said, "No, my eyes were poisoned and blinded."

The more I talked, I was stunned for a moment, "Huh?"

"I'm lying to you." Situ smiled disapprovingly, "I fell ill a few years ago, and it became like this when it couldn't be cured."

"I'm sick," Tan Yue said half-truthfully, "I thought you were faking it. There is a young fortune-teller in city A who pretends to be blind, probably because it's more bluffing. City A is very popular. These……"

The fortune teller Situ held up a brush and wrote in a graceful manner.There is a long line in front of you waiting for the fortune-telling.Customer No. [-] was filled with trepidation: "Master is really clever!"

Situ asked him, "Fortune-telling? Do I have the temperament of a fraudster?"

Tan Yue shook his head, he looked in the direction of the rain and said in a low voice, "If you are not a fortune teller, then you are..."

The picture appeared again, Tan Yue's eyes suddenly dimmed like a light was being pulled, and a few big blood-red characters jumped out lightly: Murder at the Midnight Inn!

In an ancient town, a handsome man who lost his eyes, a dispensable inn, a heavy rain...

It was a night of lightning, thunder, and wind and rain.In the inn, the electric bulbs hanging above everyone's heads flickered on and off.Blind detective Situ pointed to the peacefully talking corpse on the ground and said, "No, he committed suicide."

"You have a rich imagination." Situ said, "Have you always been like this?"

"I think, the problem may be on you." Tan Yue returned to his senses and answered seriously.

He seems to be worth pondering.Handsome, blind, sitting in an inn, speaking fluent Chinese, and bringing a guy like a bodyguard.

These words stayed in the air for a long time, and everyone present fell into a deadly silence.

Needless to say, Lao Xing's reaction.What was Situ's reaction?Talk about more unknown.No matter which one it is, just thinking about it makes Tan Yue feel very happy.He can always get strange happiness in self-entertainment.

"You," Situ replied a little late, with a hint of a smile in his words, "The Living God is a capricious God... Maybe you were deprived of your eyesight by him just because you took an extra look at his people. "

"Come on." Lao Xing who had been listening in suddenly said, "What's the mess?"

His words were somewhat restrained.As soon as the conversation got better, he would accept it. He smiled and said, "The living god is very protective of you. I won't dare to look at you from now on."

"That's not the case. When your eyes are healed, go to worship the living god on the Sacrifice Festival. Maybe you won't be selected by him in the future." Situ replied.

"When is the sacrifice?"

"Aren't you here to travel? You don't even know about Sacrifice Festival." Situ sighed, "Could it be that you came here specially for my fortune-telling? Or came to me to solve the case?"

"Of course not. You may not believe it. I don't need to ask someone to tell your fortune. Because I can read palms. Do you want me to help you?"

Tan Yue borrowed the donkey from the slope without changing his face, and without waiting for his answer, he groped for Tan Yue's hand.

Situ let him mess around and stopped asking him why he came.He said, "See what?"

"I've looked at the marriage for you... You are destined to have only one marriage and one lover." Tan Yue stroked his palm and said nonsense, "Besides, Mr. Si, your love journey is very bumpy."

It seems that just inadvertently, Tan Yue's finger touched the silver ring on Situ's index finger.

He was about to touch the bird's tail on the ring, but Situ suddenly clasped Tan Yue's wrist with his backhand, quite forcefully.

He still seemed to be smiling, and the more he talked, the more he could imagine the corners of his mouth when he smiled.Situ said, "You miscalculated."

There was a timely sound of thunder outside the house, just after the end of his words.

He seemed to have discovered it, and the more he talked, the more he thought about it.
