Is the boss fine today?

Everyone in Meizhen knows about Mount Mengla, because they go up the mountain every year to worship their ancestors, hold sacrificial festivals, bonfire parties, etc. Every year, every Mei people will deal with Mount Mengla.Talking about a foreigner, he does as the Romans do, and has more and more frequent contact with Mount Mengla.This mountain, which has been dormant for many years, ushered in the rainy season and many unexpected guests tonight.

The destination of the talk was the tile-roofed house where Lao Xing took him up the mountain a few days ago, about halfway up Mengla Mountain.Tan Yue remembered the route, but tonight's wind and rain were so crazy that he could barely see his fingers on the mountain. Under the strong wind, all the trees around him were forced to shake. From time to time, one or two trees were cut down by the wind and fell to Tan Yue's feet. , The rumbling thunder was so loud that it covered up the loud noise of trees falling to the ground.Tan Yue took an outdoor flashlight and shot a beam of beige light in the wind and rain. He saw the slanting and continuous rain curtain, the trembling black and green tree crowns, the flashing red maple leaves that seemed to be burning, the rugged mountain road... and At the end of the forest, there is a silent tile house.

Tan Yue walked up the mountain in a hurry, and now he was exhausted. After sitting in the woods for a while, he had the strength to walk to the tile house.He stood in front of the wooden door, and according to the flashlight, the door lock was locked, which meant that no one came back.Situ is not here, neither is Lao Xing, where else can they go?

"Is there more than one such foothold in Mengla Mountain?..." Tan Yue muttered.

He panted for a while, and sat down leaning against the door panel. It was wet and cold on the steps, and he was huddled under the airtight raincoat, but his whole body was hot and sweaty.After taking a sip of water, Tan Yue hugged his backpack and thought about the next itinerary.Situ lost contact with Lao Xing for a whole day and didn't come back before it rained.If the rain stops and they don't show up, it's probably more ominous than good.

Probably because he was too tired, the more he talked without thinking about it for a long time, the consciousness quickly became blurred, and he fell asleep leaning against the door under the eaves in this knee-hugging posture.I don't know how long it has passed, the wind and rain are still raging in the world like crazy, there are a few gunshots and screams from far away, and he in the dream doesn't know it at all.

It wasn't until a dazzling light hit his eyelids that Tan Yue opened his eyes in a daze.

He subconsciously stretched out his hand to block the light. The visitor was wearing the same thick black raincoat as him, and the rain fell quickly from his shoulders and hood, dripping onto Tan Yue's face.He held a flashlight in his hand, and hid the other hand in the sleeve of his raincoat, so he couldn't tell whether he was holding a knife or a gun.Tan Yue found that he was not afraid at all, he even had the time to change his sitting position because his legs were numb from sleeping.

He squinted his eyes and looked up, asking him, "Who are you?"

The position of the flashlight just blocked the face in the hood, Tan Yue couldn't see who he was for a while.The visitor's flashlight flicked again, scanning his entire body.

He finally squeaked, "Why are you here again?" in a helpless tone.

Situ's voice.

"Ah, it's you?" Tan Yue stood up abruptly, focusing on his legs that were not numb from sleep.In the hood, Situ looked tired and asked, "What happened?"

The flashlight changed direction and shone on the door lock. Situ fumbled in his clothes for a while and took out a bunch of keys.He opened the door, and after the two entered the room, he handed the key to Tan Yue.

After the conversation was over, the coal lamp on the table was lit, and the room was a little brighter.Situ took off his raincoat, half wet and half dry, with a gun in his hand.Sitting down on the straw mat, he fiddled with his gun, frowning like he was preoccupied.

He said, "You take the key, I have to go out later."

"Where?"

"They want to kill me, I can't hide here, lest something happen to you." Situ opened the magazine to fill the bullets, and he said very calmly, "If you wait for someone to knock on the door, don't open it, no matter who it is. Open the door, not even Zhao Zhao, understand?"

"It's exactly what I thought." Situ's situation gradually coincided with what he had imagined before, Tan Yue only felt flustered, "Then what should we do?"

"Last night, someone found out that the police came to Mei Town, plainclothes. Later, there was internal strife. I was the target of public criticism, and they didn't find the wrong person." Situ smiled easily.

In the dark, the two sat facing each other, Tan Yue's face turned pale, as if he was the one being hunted down instead of Situ.Seeing his behavior, Situ regained his energy. In fact, he didn't sleep all night, and he was as exhausted as Tan Yue. It can be seen that Tan Yue was so sad, he just wanted to laugh.Tan Yue is very simple to some extent, so simple that people want to destroy him.Situ had never seen him cry, and he should be cute when he cried.

His feelings for Tan Yue have always been complicated.

Thinking of this, he touched Tan Yue's face pityingly: "This time, you must be obedient and don't leave here."

Situ found a jar of wine under the bed, and he said it was put here by Lao Xing.The winter nights in Mount Mengla are extremely cold. Lao Xing is used to drinking to keep out the cold, and he will feel much warmer after drinking.

Tan Yue drank three cups.The wine was strong, and after sitting for a while, he felt his body heat up and his mind was dizzy.He asked Situ, "Aren't you going to drink?"

Situ said: "I drink very poorly, and my marksmanship will be inaccurate after drinking alcohol."

Probably because of the alcohol, the talk suddenly increased, and he asked, "Will you be killed?"

"I don't know, you should go back to City A immediately after I die." Situ replied, "Find a good man to marry. In fact, Xia Sheng is not bad, I'm serious."

"You don't need to arrange this kind of thing!" Tan Yue frowned, and spoke with a bit of coquettishness from nowhere, "It's too annoying."

Situ turned a deaf ear and said, "Remember to take away all the photos of the inn, as well as the photo of Pan En and Yamei."

"Who is Yamei?"

"The former living god."

"Oh—why take this picture?"

"Because you have to remember them."

The image of Pan En and Yamei holding hands emerged in the darkness.

Looking at their faces, something suddenly jumped in Tan Yue's heart.A thought from a long time ago popped up suddenly.

"He's really my father," Tan Yue opened his eyes, the almost identical face still lingering, he said, "Is that right?"

"As I said, there's no way to prove whether it's true. And I can't do a DNA test."

"It's enough for Yaduo and I to do a DNA test. Has Yaduo seen a picture of Pan En? That's why he reminded me not to approach you." Under the influence of alcohol, Tan Yue's guesses suddenly flooded like a dike. Come out, "Pan En is the father, who is the mother? Yamei?"

"Did you think so?" Situ asked him, "I thought you didn't care much about such things."

"I don't care. It doesn't matter who I was born to. But if my guess is true, then who are you? You are not Yamei's child, we are not brothers. Who are you?" The conversation got drunk.When he was drunk and extremely serious, he spoke quickly and logically, which was completely different from when he was sober.

Situ avoided answering, "There's no need to ask, they're all dead, so there's no point in talking about it now."

But Tan Yue said for him: "——You are the child of Tan Kesheng and Yan Ni? Is that so? Why?"

There was a thunder outside the house, the rain seemed to be more ferocious, and the roof trembled.

"I asked you before, I asked you to ask after you think about it." Situ said and dimmed the flashlight, and the hut fell into darkness again.

The two of them sat in the dark, completely silent, and the more they talked, they didn't know why they were so calm. Obviously this was such a shocking event, but the two surviving parties had already accepted this reality, or in other words, Situ had already been relieved. up.

"I am not the living god who was chosen at first, but you are." After a long time, Situ said, "So I am not surprised that you are attracted by the mask of the living god. I just didn't expect that you would also be blinded because of me." , maybe there is no difference between human beings and gods at all.”

Situ talked about the old story again, Yamei and Pan En opened a small hotel, Tan Kesheng and his wife were her guests, and both couples gave birth to boys.Sometimes when Tan Kesheng and Yan Ni went up the mountain to look for Kuer, she would help take care of their children.Later, Pan En committed suicide, and then Tan Kesheng and Yan Ni also accidentally fell to their deaths. At that time, the Mei people said that it was because they went up the mountain to look for Kuer and offended God—Kuer is the messenger of God.
