Be Dazai's mother

"Welcome back, master." The butler stepped forward to greet him, while the servants on both sides bowed their heads respectfully.

The master seemed to be in a good mood, he patted the person beside him, and said to the butler, "Tsuruda, this is the head of Matsumoto."

"Nice meeting, Mr. Matsumoto, welcome." The butler said.

Mr. Matsumoto is a somewhat short and fat man, but he looks kind, which is different from the more serious-looking master.He was wearing a dark brown coat and had a mole on the left side of his nose.

The master and Mr. Matsumoto exchanged greetings for a while, then walked to the living room, and the servant also planned to close the door - suddenly a gust of wind blew in, and the cold outside was blown in with a "crash".

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the weeds on the roadside were all submerged in a short while.

The servant muttered, "The snow just now didn't seem to have fallen so heavily, why did it cover several layers at once?"

He looked up at the sky, thinking that the snow and wind are also strong, and it is not enough to stand firm in such an environment. Those whose homes are dilapidated and whose roofs have not been repaired may suffer a lot.Not to mention the homeless and the rough.

Thinking of this, the servant shook his head, and said with some regret: "...I don't know how many people will freeze to death tonight."

At this moment, a strange voice suddenly came from not far away, and the servant followed the voice suspiciously and looked into the vast white snow, and saw a man's figure in the snow curtain.

It was a man who was dressed too gorgeously and looked like a ghost. He was quite handsome and carried a medicine box on his back. The clothes on his body were stained with some crystal snowflakes.

"Who are you?" The servant asked the strange man.The mist drifted out with his exhalation.

The man replied, "I'm just an ordinary drug seller."

The drug seller's voice carried a demagogic charm, low and with a wonderful smoothness and pause.He said: "I don't know why the snow suddenly fell so heavily, and even the wind was blowing loudly. I really couldn't find a place to avoid this night, so I wanted to ask if I could borrow me for a night." ?”

Although the servant was startled by the appearance of the drug seller, he did not easily agree to the drug seller's request.Instead, he waved away impatiently.

The medicine seller came to Jindao's house and opened his mouth just to stay overnight, who knows if he came to eat and drink?Although the other party seemed to have an extraordinary temperament and was quite handsome, it was not uncommon for him to meet a person who was not good-looking, but was just a well-dressed beast.

The servant said, "Where are you from? You want to borrow the night elsewhere. This is not a hotel."

That being said, the servant had already guessed that the hotel must be full of people at this time, and there was no room for a small drug seller.

"Oh, this is troublesome, can you be more flexible?"

"No! Go, go! Don't get in the way here."

I, who was drowsy at the side, was woken up by the voice outside the door. I subconsciously looked in the direction of the door. When I saw the medicine seller, I couldn't help shouting: "Mr. Medicine seller?"

The servant glanced at me and asked, "Is this someone Sachiko knows?"

"No." I said, "I just met Mr. Oshima when I went to Mr. Oshima's place a few days ago."

"So it's someone Mr. Oshima knows?" The servant looked a little surprised, and his impatience with the drug seller dissipated.

The servant had also been to the doctor's clinic to see a doctor and respected him quite a lot.At this time, when he heard that the drug seller was Mr. Oshima's, he couldn't help but relax.

I was stunned for a moment, and realized that he was thinking about it. I just wanted to explain that the medicine seller was only selling medicine at Mr. Oshima's place. The master who heard the movement looked over here, and the housekeeper said displeasedly: "What happened?" what?"

Seeing that they were disturbed, the servant's face turned pale, and he replied nervously: "It's a drug seller who wants to stay overnight, the snowstorm outside is too strong."

The master frowned when he heard this, originally he wanted the servant to drive him out, but then he thought of Mr. Matsumoto next to him, and felt that it would be inappropriate for him to just drive out a drug seller who wanted to spend the night Favor.Especially Mr. Matsumoto is still by his side. If he drives people out, it will be bad for Mr. Matsumoto to speak ill of him and ruin his reputation with others after he returns.

So the master said: "Just want to stay overnight? Then let him come in."

After hearing this, the pharmacist walked in unceremoniously. When he saw his appearance, the master and the others were stunned for a moment, feeling a little disobedient for this Ukiyo-e-like pharmacist.

Immediately, the master's attention was attracted by the medicine box behind the medicine seller, and he said, "What kind of medicine do you have here?"

"Generally all medicines are available," said the medicine seller.

"Is it effective?" The master said in a relaxed tone, as if he was making a little joke that didn't need to be taken seriously.

"Well..." the drug seller said: "As long as the heart is sincere, it will be effective. Isn't there a saying like this? "Sincerity leads to gold and stone."

Feeling that he had been fooled, the old man was a little unhappy, but he felt that the medicine seller's words were interesting. He said: "You mean that if you take the medicine but don't recover, it's just your heart is not sincere, not the medicine. ?”

What he said was almost directly mocking the drug seller for selling fake drugs but still had to make excuses.

But the drug seller was not frightened by him, the lip gloss on his mouth was raised, making him look like he was smiling all the time, this overly gorgeous man let out a low laugh, his voice sounded pleasant but Seemingly indifferent, he said: "Isn't this a matter of course? This master."

"Blindly seeking the "medicine" to cure the disease does not solve the essential problem, so there is no way to save it anyway."

The master showed a thoughtful expression, while Mr. Matsumoto beside him said very interestedly: "Although you are just a drug seller, what you said makes sense."

Seeing Mr. Matsumoto's admiration for the drug seller, the master said, "Indeed. The snow outside is so heavy, it seems that it can't stop for a while. If you want to stay, drug seller, you can stay. Tomorrow morning It’s okay to wait until the snow isn’t so heavy.”

"Then thank you, Master Tsushima," said the medicine seller.

After finishing speaking, the master suddenly remembered that one of his children was still in the hospital at this time, he turned his head and asked the housekeeper, "How is Xiu Zhi now?"

The housekeeper said: "Still in the hospital, because the doctor said that you can also recuperate at home, so I have arranged to come back tomorrow."

Seeing that the butler has arranged everything as usual, the master nodded in satisfaction.The drug seller on the side looked curious and asked, "Could it be that Master Tsushima's child is in the hospital now?"

"Yes." The master said, "I have a son named Xiuzhi, who has been in poor health since he was a child, and he is always suffering from serious and minor illnesses."

The pharmacist said, "I have the medicine for health care here, please accept it if you don't mind."

The master waved his hand to show that he didn't mind, and asked the housekeeper to accept the medicine that the medicine seller handed over.

They may have said something later, these are things I don't know.Because Mami-san noticed my tired face, after learning that I had a cold, she asked me to go back and rest first.

After thanking Mami-san, I really couldn't hold on anymore and went to sleep in my own room without too many excuses.

...

...

...

When I woke up, the snow outside was still falling heavily, and the wind mixed with the snow was roaring angrily like a giant beast, which was terrifying.I was woken up by a urge to pee.It was already midnight, and it was frighteningly cold outside in the middle of the night. I curled up in the thick quilt and shivered to absorb the warmth in the quilt. I was a little reluctant to go out, so I closed my eyes tightly and wanted to continue sleeping.

It would be nice if the toilet was in the room, but unfortunately the toilet is not only not in the room, but also some distance away from me.Waking up in the middle of the night in this weather, every step was like hell for me.

Although I was struggling in every possible way, I couldn't resist my physical instinct in the end, so I could only shiver, put on my coat and go outside.

After solving my physical needs, I exhaled and walked on the way back, wanting to return to the warm bed quickly.

A gust of cold wind blew violently, which made me shiver involuntarily.I was shaking even more, thinking I had to go back quickly.But it was at this time that I suddenly realized who seemed to be standing in the corridor not far away.

I looked over suspiciously, and happened to see the figure of that man——it turned out to be a medicine seller.

Even in the middle of the night, the pharmacist was wearing unusual clothes, with strange and coquettish makeup on his face.Coupled with his handsome appearance, which is different from ordinary people, he looks even more like a ghost under the cover of night.

For a moment, I couldn't help doubting his human identity, and thought of the story in the book about a ghost disguised as a human being, lurking in the owner's house under the name of accommodation.

The whistling wind in the winter came again, I shivered from the cold, and because of the fear in my heart, I was about to pretend I didn’t see anything, but the medicine seller had already noticed my existence, and glanced lightly in my direction glance.

I was startled, and was frightened by the other person's half-smile expression, and shouted directly with a blank mind: "Mr. Yaolang, what are you doing here?"

I was born with a relatively low voice and a relatively timid personality, and my voice was surprisingly low after being frightened.

Of course, even such a small voice is enough to convey to the drug seller in the silent night.

The drug seller put his index finger to his lips and made a silent movement.Seeing that I covered my mouth obediently, the drug seller turned around and kept looking at the direction in front of him just now.

I couldn't see what he was looking at, and I couldn't help but feel a secret curiosity in my heart.I tiptoed over, stood behind the drug seller, and quietly went to see what he was looking at.

Then I saw a somewhat familiar figure.He was wearing pajamas, with bare feet on the floor, and it was obvious that he came out of the room temporarily.

But that's not the point, the point is that this man's neck has become longer than that of a giraffe!The neck moved slowly, and a head hung on the neck.

The head had its eyes closed, with a weird smile on its face, and its blood-veined neck was as soft and pale as gluten, stretching around as if looking for something.

I am also very familiar with the appearance of that head, isn't it the master?

But the master is no longer the one I know, he looks like the legendary flying headman instead.

Flying head man is a rumored monster.It is rumored that this kind of monster usually lives a normal life like a human being, but when night comes and everyone falls asleep, the monster's neck will start to stretch.

Could it be that the master is possessed by the Flying Man?Or is the master himself a monster?

I covered my mouth and took half a step back, my face turning pale like falling into an ice cave.

Is this a dream?Is it the same as the dream I had in the hospital yesterday?But why is it so real if it is a dream?

"It seems that this is Feitouman." The medicine seller beside him said too calmly.

His calmness was extremely abnormal, as if he had been dealing with these things all the time.Thinking about it this way, I can't help but see that the medicine seller's expression changes.

"Who the hell are you?" I lowered my voice and said in amazement.

The drug seller was not in a hurry, but continued to answer with the seemingly perfunctory but true words: "I'm just a drug seller."

Which ordinary drug seller would stare at Feitouman nonchalantly at night? !

I couldn't help but wondered if I was really unlucky to meet two monsters disguised as humans in one night?

With a "click", the quietly smiling head suddenly looked in the direction of me and the drug seller.

I was so scared that I let out a "wow" sound, and the drug seller turned around and ran away.

I looked at him in disbelief, and quickly followed his footsteps and ran together.

Why did he just run away?Didn't the drug seller look like he was doing his job just now?

As if aware of my doubts, the drug seller said lightly: "In this case, there is nothing I can do. If you want to kill monsters, you must draw out the demon-repelling sword, and if you want to pull out the demon-repelling sword, you must have the shape of the monster." ","truth"."

The drug seller glanced back at Flying Man who was chasing us with a grim face, and said, "But the most important person hasn't arrived yet."

I can't understand what he's saying at all, but even if I don't know, I don't want to be left here alone.Even if I feel that the medicine seller is not like an ordinary person, he still maintains his human appearance and has no hostility towards me. It is much better than the flying head behind him.

Fortunately, the flying head behind him is the kind where the neck is connected to the body instead of the type where the head is separated from the body.Due to the long neck connected to the body, the flying headman's speed is not particularly fast, and the medicine seller and I quickly got rid of it.

Out of fear, I broke out, and I was so tired that I was out of breath after running so fast. I almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, I was helped by the drug seller.

Looking at the drug seller who was different from me, with a steady breath and extremely easy to handle, my doubts about him deepened a little.But also because he just gave me a hand, so I think maybe he is not a bad person.

Of course, I also know that the world is not black and white.After all, we are not dead things that can be summed up by one or two adjectives, but living human beings struggling in this world.

If it were black and white, the world would be too monotonous.

But compared to these things, I think it is more important to find out what is going on now.

I asked: "Mr. Yaolang, do you know what happened just now?"

"That's a flying head man." The medicine seller replied calmly.

"You can tell this at a glance." I said helplessly: "You clearly know that this is not what I want to ask."

The drug seller chuckled lightly, and asked, "Oh, do you want to ask me why Master Tsushima became like that?"

"Yes." I said.

"Unfortunately." The drug seller said, "I don't know the details."

"Then I'll ask you another question." I stared at him seriously and asked, "What are you here for?"

The drug seller smiled, but he didn't seem to be smiling.The lip gloss on his lips is so deceptive that it's hard to see whether he's smiling or not.

He said, "I'm here to kill monsters."

The cold moonlight scattered over the night sky, casting a strange cold light on the drug seller's face with strange and gorgeous makeup.He looked at me with those emotionless eyes.

I was horrified by this.

why?Because I feel that in his eyes, all human beings are the same.It's not that the drug seller is ruthless and indifferent, but it should be said that he is like a completely different existence from human beings, observing and watching everyone from a distance.

Just like the gods in the legend, just watching quietly.

In his eyes, I am the air, I am the weeds, and I am the pebbles on the side of the road.But I am also clear water, I am also a flower, and I am also a pearl dropped by the roadside.

Because in his eyes most things are like air... probably so.

I silently looked at the drug seller, thinking so in my heart.

After all, I don't know him well. After all, it's just a strange man who met twice, but the look in his eyes really made me feel a sense of terror and intimacy with monsters?

I think it must be the look in the eyes somewhat similar to that of Master Xiuzhi.Eyes that are out of tune with the world.

It's just that except for the first time I met him, I had a little resistance to Master Xiuzhi because of his strange smile and eyes, and all my rationality was swallowed up by love and affection.

That's why we talk about human beings...

I sighed and asked, "Does the monster refer to the master?"

I really didn't expect that the Flying Man actually possessed the body of the master, or that the master himself is the Flying Man?This is really a terrifying thing, and I don't know if Master Xiuzhi, who secretly expects his father to recognize him, will feel sad?

"Well..." The drug seller didn't look at me, he looked in another direction in the distance, because Feitouman couldn't catch up with us, he simply gave up chasing us, and continued to stretch his neck to find something.

The drug seller said: "Yes and no. It can only be said that he is a part of the monster, but this time the "core" has not come here yet."

"'Core'?" I asked in confusion.

The drug seller chuckled a few times, squinting his eyes slightly, as if I had asked a funny question, and said softly: "What do you think he is looking for?"

"People who are not in this place but are very important to this place. They have a lot of injuries for no reason, and people who always stay awake in the middle of the night."

In an instant, my face turned pale as paper.Because when the drug seller said these words, scenes flashed in my mind, and the previous doubts seemed to be answered.

I opened my eyes wide, in disbelief, and kept saying in my heart: "How is this possible? This is too ridiculous!" But my mouth moved uncontrollably, making a small sound like a baby when it is threatened. the sound made.

"It's Master Xiuzhi."

"What Fei Touman is looking for is—" I heard my own trembling voice revealing a little fear.

"—Master Xiuzhi."

The drug seller looked at me, the lip gloss on the corner of his mouth made him seem to be smiling, but his eyes were as calm as ever, he sighed like pity and indifference, and gave me the final judgment.

"correct answer."
