Those who work in the coffin shop

Gu Yi smiled, "Grandma, I'll put the bowl in for you."

Grandma Shou nodded, watching Gu Yi go in and out with the bowl in her arms, her kind face was full of smiles.

"Little brat, I said where did you go, so you are here."

Bao Si walked into the noodle shop, staring at Gu Yi coldly with a pair of black eyes.

Meeting that gaze, Gu Yi's fingers stiffened for a moment, inexplicably at a loss.

Granny Shou laughed: "Boss Boss, I was talking about you just now, so you're here now, but don't blame Xiao Shiba, he just came to help me collect things, not for fun."

Bao Si also laughed, and said, "Just now you were talking about me, what were you talking about?"

Gu Yi said, "Grandma Shou's cooking skills are much better than yours."

"what?"

Grandma Shou laughed so hard that she coughed.

"Little Shiba is so cute."

After the things in Shou's mother-in-law's shop were settled, Gu Yi followed Bo Si back to the coffin shop.

Gu Yi cautiously said, "Boss, I'm really not playful..."

"I didn't say you were playful, I just wanted to settle your salary."

Bo Si handed him a clean envelope.

Gu Yi was taken aback for a moment, not knowing whether to answer or not.

"Take it, I didn't detain you."

"Suddenly paying my salary, you are going to fire me."

Gu Yi raised his head and looked at Bao Si, "Let me take the money and leave?"

Bao Si stared into his eyes and said, "You take the money first, it will be useful, this time, you will definitely leave."

Gu Yi smiled wryly, "Well, you have made all my decisions for me, what else can I say?"

Bao Si patted his head, as before, with strong force, "There is no banquet in the world, no one will stay with you forever, you said you are a man, you can protect yourself when I am not around, You are strong, I believe."

"thank you boss."

With a formulaic smile on Gu Yi's face, he reached out and took the envelope, folded it up carefully, and put it in his bag.

He lowered his head, not wanting Bao Si to see the emotion in his eyes.

Bo Si looked at him indifferently, and suddenly said in a low voice, "Someone is here."

Gu Yi turned around and looked towards the door.

Sure enough, there was a middle-aged woman standing at the door. The woman was plainly dressed, her hair was disheveled, she was looking around, her eyes were very distracted, like a lunatic.

But of course Gu Yi knew that she was not crazy, even when he saw her, all of Gu Yi's blood rushed to the top of his head!

That was... his adoptive mother.

The Gu family who had adopted him were also the ones who kicked him out in the end.

That day when he was kicked out of the Gu family, the disgusting eyes of his adoptive father, the disappointed expression of his adoptive mother, and the gloating laugh of his younger brother, those scenes seemed to be just yesterday. With the appearance of Su Minjun, all memories flooded him like a flood and drowned him.

Gu Yi's face turned pale for a moment, but he walked out of the gate involuntarily, and walked towards Su Minjun, the woman who had decided to adopt him, and the only mother in the family who gave him warmth, at least these, he would never forget.

He knew from an early age that he was an orphan, no matter who he was adopted by, he was just an adopted son at home, he could not get 100% love from his parents like other children, so Gu Yi has always been introverted and low-key at home, especially in the Gu family, The adoptive father and adoptive mother have a biological son who grew up in the palm of their hand, and a nominal brother who is one year younger than him. He is the heart of the adoptive parents. Although his personality is a bit domineering, he often takes pleasure in bullying Gu Yi at home. But Gu Yi understands his position very well, always avoids him intentionally or unintentionally, and will not conflict with him. After all these years, life is still stable and peaceful. His adoptive father has no feelings for him, but his adoptive mother is good to him. Because he was injured at school, he was given medicine gently and carefully, and it was that tenderness that became the biggest pain in Gu Yi's heart when he was kicked out of the house.

The Bai Nuo incident made the entire Gu family disappointed in him. That day was the most helpless and embarrassing day in Gu Yi's life.

No one believed him, including his adoptive mother, and even the school refused to let him continue his studies.

Gu Yi had mixed emotions in his heart, he moved slowly, and walked in front of Su Minjun. Behind him, Bao Si looked at his back, and there was an indescribable emotion in his dark pupils for a moment.

Su Minjun's eyes were still out of focus, she looked east and west, like a bewildered child, unable to find her way home.

"Mom, why are you here?"

Gu Yi spoke softly.

This "Mom" caught Su Minjun's attention, she fixed her head and looked straight at Gu Yi.

Her pupils began to focus, she bit her lip, still thinking.

She was trying to figure out if the boy in front of her was someone she knew.

It was only then that Gu Yi remembered that the birthmark on his face was gone, and it was normal for Su Minjun not to recognize him for a while.

He was about to open his mouth to explain to himself, but Su Minjun seemed to have remembered something and recognized him. She was so emotional that her whole body was trembling, and tears poured out, as if she was extremely sad: "Miao Miao! Miao Miao You're back! I knew it! I knew you'd be back!"

Su Minjun hugged him fiercely, his eyes were red from crying: "Miaomiao, they all say you are dead, I don't believe it, you are only 17 years old, how could you die, you are obviously by my side, mother can see you every night Seeing you, how could you die, how could..."

Gu Miao... is dead?

Gu Yi felt a chill in his heart, a little unbelievable.

That Gu Miao who grew up held in the hands of Gu Jie and Su Minjun... that brother who is one year younger than him and often bullies him, is dead?

How can this be?

"Miaomiao, I know you will never leave your mother, just like your father, you will never leave your mother..."

That day, Su Minjun held Gu Yi and cried for a long, long time.

Tired of crying, Su Minjun collapsed and fell asleep, Gu Yi took her into the store and let her lie down on the sofa. Afterwards, Bao Si found some news from the Internet for him to read.

Gu Yi glanced at the locations page by page, his complexion getting worse and worse, "Internet cafe...is it on fire?"

Bo Si lit a cigarette and said slowly, "Yes, all the Internet cafes were burnt down. I heard that only one girl was saved. The others died, and they were all students from nearby. Your adoptive mother's son is also on the death list. If you don't believe me, look."

Gu Yi put down the phone, sighed, and said: "Don't read it, I believe it's true, that Internet cafe was Gu Miao's favorite place to go before, sometimes he played too late and didn't listen to mom, so mom would Let me go to the Internet cafe to find him, but it’s just that I can’t find him every time.”

"There is no need to find it now."

Bao Si looked at him meaningfully, and said, "Do you know any news?"

"What news?"

"It happened in the neighborhood you used to live in, and it is also recent news, and it has something to do with your adoptive parents."

"...How do you know which neighborhood I used to live in?"

Bo Si chuckled, "I don't know anything about you. You have been in my arms since you were born."

"..."

Why does this sound so strange?

Gu Yi had a strange expression, and asked again: "What kind of news is it?"

"Pick up your phone and look at the trending searches."

"Boss, I think, I still need a smartphone."

"Your salary has been paid, buy it yourself, and use mine to look at it first."

"……Oh."

Gu Yi picked up Bo Si's mobile phone and clicked on the trending search. The first one was the fire in the Internet cafe, and the second one was the mysterious death at the man's home.

Although the man's face was mosaiced, but from the neighborhood in the picture, as well as the outline of the man, Gu Yi could recognize that this was his adoptive father, Gu Jie!

His adoptive father... also died... and died at home, on the same day as the internet cafe fire...

how is this possible……

Gu Yi took a deep breath and murmured in a low voice, "How could this be..."

"That's how it happened." Bo Si said, "On the same day, your adoptive mother's son and her husband both died, one died in a fire, and the other died inexplicably. According to the news, he died with a goldfish in his mouth. After the discovery, his face was covered with fish scales, and the police are still investigating to see whether it was a homicide or a suicide, but I think it may not be that simple."

"You suspect it's not man-made?"

Gu Yi asked in a deep voice.

Bao Si said with a smile: "Ghosts are also human beings. It's just that a living person can't make a normal person's face covered with fish scales and die with goldfish blocking his throat. This is a deep hatred. At the same time, Internet cafes The fire broke out, and their son died, it seems that during the time you were not at home, they provoked something terrible and were resented, right?"

Gu Yi clenched the phone tightly, and said, "No matter what, Mom has been greatly stimulated now, and I don't know what to do when it becomes like this."

"With your personality, you probably wouldn't be able to stand by and watch her, even if they kicked you out of the house back then."

Gu Yi was speechless.

"She doesn't even know who you are now. She only regards you as her dead son. You are just a substitute for her now."

Hearing this, Gu Yi smiled. He looked at Bao Si with clean eyes, "Then what am I to the boss? You once said that my existence is to pass the long and boring time for you. Since In this way, when I am a substitute for others, it seems that there is no difference."

Bo Si narrowed his eyes, his black eyes were deep: "These are two different things."

"One thing."

Gu Yi said lightly, "Back then, the Gu family didn't need me and drove me away. Now the boss doesn't need me, and he also wants me to leave. Since you want me to go, I'll just go. Mom needs me as her son now. By her side, then I will naturally stay where I need me, my fate has been like this since I was a child, and I can't help myself."

Bao Si looked at him deeply and stopped talking.

"Miaomiao... Miaomiao..."

At this time, Su Minjun woke up.

Before she opened her eyes, she waved her hands wildly in the air, as if she wanted to desperately grab a piece of her child's clothes.

She shouted her Miao Miao over and over again, and her whole spirit was on the verge of collapse.

Gu Yi got up and hurried towards her, "Mom, I'm here, I'm here."

He held Su Minjun's hand, and the moment he felt the temperature, Su Minjun opened his eyes and looked at him, and suddenly, he grinned like a child who had eaten candy: "Miaomiao, you are here, you scared me to death, I had a dream just now, I dreamed that you were burned to death in a fire, in the dream I broke out in a cold sweat, it’s okay, okay, you’re still by my side, you haven’t left yet.”

Gu Yi said softly: "I won't leave, Mom, are you hungry, or should we go home first?"

Su Minjun nodded again and again: "Okay, go home, your dad should be off work at this time, let's go back early, mom cooks, cook some of your favorite food, doesn't your dad like braised fish the most, let's go, let's buy some Fish go."

"it is good."

Gu Yi helped Su Minjun slowly leave the coffin shop.

When passing by Bao Si, Gu Yi suddenly remembered something, he turned his head and said to Bo Si: "Boss, there is still a fish in the refrigerator, you remember to eat it, if you forget, it will be a waste."

Bo Si lightly smoked, and said, "Understood."

Gu Yi and Su Minjun walked a long distance before Bao Sicai turned around and looked at their backs.

It's quite harmonious.

Really like a mother and son.

Bo Si had a cigarette in his mouth, and he didn't even notice the ash falling.

Some things are predestined, and he must ask him to leave.

Thinking of this, Bao Si suddenly raised the corner of his mouth again.

Fortunately, the boy is not ungrateful, at least, he still remembers that he likes to eat fish.
